@Aunindyo2023 Couldn’t agree more

@volklub @AUTOINTELIN I prefer manual cars only when driving in the hills. They give so much control / feedback that a driver needs. For highway cruising and city traffic, automatics are the way to go

@SandeepMall I am sure, with the fitness levels you maintain, you can do it even now. I did it for my 50th birthday last year. Trained for 6 months, since I am generally very unfit. If you need suggestions on good tour guides for the climb, let me know, will DM

I was just in Mumbai, and I have to give them credit for the progress they’re making on infrastructure. The new Aqua Line metro is phenomenal. But the amount of work India still has to do on basic cleanliness and sanitation and it is hard to understand until you see it yourself. Would love for more westerners to go just to understand how wealthy they are, but that's a different point.

Mumbai is completely surrounded by water, yet there are almost no places where people can actually enjoy the water. The beaches are filled with trash, the water is badly contaminated, and almost nobody swims, even when it’s brutally hot outside. Walking on the beach is just mud and trash meeting filthy water on the horizon.

There are much poorer places around the world where people can still use the beaches. This is not just about money. India has gone decades without adequate trash collection, sewage treatment, or enforcement for a population of more than a billion people. At this point, the scale of the problem feels almost impossible, and the oceans around the world are paying the price for Indias garbage output as well.

I like the direction Modi is taking the country, but India needs to treat cleanup like a national emergency. Stop with the small campaigns and organize a full scale blitz.

Offer unemployed people paid work picking up trash, clearing drains and waterways, cleaning beaches, and maintaining public spaces. Give them proper equipment and supervision. Then build the collection and waste processing systems needed to stop everything from becoming filthy again a week later.

India has shown that it can build metros, airports, highways, and digital infrastructure. Clean streets and usable water should be treated as infrastructure too.

Mumbai should have one of the greatest waterfronts in the world. Instead, it's has basically an irrelevant feature of the city and feels surrendered to sewage and garbage.

@TorqueIndia The killed the beautiful vehicle it replaced. Who is asking for these futuristic phone like cars.

@NsNitinsinha Couldn’t agree more

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@GaganJass141 @NsNitinsinha Have used Zoomcar earlier and recently Revv. Got a fabulous automatic hycross and did a 9 day self drive trip. In the daily grind we use a ciaz and i10 in mumbai

@volklub arre...Tussi Jaa Rahe ho

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@volklub Thank you on behalf of all Mumbaikars. Yes, the city and its denizens are always on the move, having little time for distractions. Generally helpful and smiling through their daily grind. If only the powers to be could give them open spaces, walkable foot paths and pothole free

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@volklub Will it be priced above the Camry. Will start the debate as Camry is the only competitor in that segment, other than the Germans who sit above it at a much higher price point

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@BCCI @Indiancrickteam Can someone pls analyse the performance of Prasidh Krishna and the reason for his being in the Indian team. He is a gap filler at best. Aren’t there other talents in our country to fill that role more effectively

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@chiragbarjatya @SiddharthKG7 Seems like a song from the movie.

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@volklub Yes. Eagerly waiting for a strong hybrid to be available in the 35-45 bracket which is not an MPV and does the job of a 80:20 city / highway mix. Currently kodiaq base version is the only one that fills that role. Hycross and xuv 700 are more suited for a higher highway usage

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

Praying that the Powers to Be reverse their decision on giving the mill land to a builder. Mumbai desperately needs open spaces, gardens, recreational areas. Don’t make our beloved city a concrete jungle. @Dev_Fadnavis @CMOMaharashtra @mieknathshinde @VishalBhargava5 @RoadsOfMumbai

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

Not the whole problem, but an interesting facet. It’s difficult getting team members to put in efforts. Seen more often than not, either there is immense job security or financial security that’s created a mirage about limited effort standing in good stead in a long career.

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@MNCDFbombay @Adani_Elec_Mum Not Sure if dangerous is the right word. Had lived in that area for more than 25 years and recently moved out to Andheri. Never felt unsafe etc. Maybe the day this was clicked there could have been some light related issue

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

@chiragbarjatya Am on Day 17 today.

[Sandeep Shridhar @sandy_shri]

A note of appreciation, where it is well deserved. Thank you @HDFCERGOGIC for the prompt pre-authorization for the cashless hospitalization and the ease / speed with which the pre discharge authorization was given. Kudos for making it a stress free process
