Current BJP is not Vajpayee’s BJP but dare I say a “softer version of what congress has been”. If congressis are rattled with how current BJP operates, just imagine how fed up general public is with the real congress. #CongressMuktBharat #Elections2024 #wednesdaythought

Cricket will soon get out of love if there is no competition between bat and ball. ODIs have been killed already. Temperament to play Tests is already on deathbed. Cricket will just become entertainment, if not already. #IPL2025 #SRHvsRR

Siddaramaiah passed a bill & suspended 18 Karnataka BJP MLAs for 6 months. Marshals dragged them out of the Assembly.

Did you hear any outrage from "Democracy Khatre me hai" gang?

@yashkabmilega @Memesociiety_ True but context here is double deplacement 😉

A scammer ended up getting scammed when he tried to con a Kanpur man (he tricked him into transferring Rs.10,000)

Initially a favourite among politicians and now just a motor mouth. What he probably means is that they will increase GST on petrol cars to make them as expensive as EVs.

@valdombre Realised this in 2019 and came back despite having a PR. Only US is worth going, if going that far. Else India is much better. Can try SGP or Gulf too with better salaries and savings.

Sunny Deol's patriotic movies in the 90s were responsible for multiple terror attacks in India from Pakistan

Someone from Paxtan said, just after Bolan...
"...for Balochistan to stay calm, Kashmir & India has to burn..."

Today, we're seeing Nagpur.

How *that* scene in #Adolescence was filmed.

@kushal_mehra I had white canvas shoes in my primary school we wore on Saturdays. And we all used to do it to whiten them. It was a very common thing to do. They would get dirty so often.

A Russian footballer who plays for a Spanish football club is denied entry into the UK midway through a European club football competition, and the same Brits were questioning India when because we refused to travel to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy.

Bunch of hypocrites.

[Shantnu @shantnu21]

@sde_ray My mother always used to bring either samosa or packed ganna juice from market. We would sometimes sit on the main gate boundary and wait k kuch khane ka aayega.

[Shantnu @shantnu21]

@ishmohit1 Very irritating.

[Shantnu @shantnu21]

Is it me or everyone tagging perplexity for even smallest of queries looks pretty stupid. People don’t even want to read news, just tag the AI bot and ask “is it true”?

Dear TMC, what on earth is this 😭😭

@PeterDellaPenna Peter, Pakistan is a proven state sponsor of terrorism, with many UN designated terrorists operating quite freely on their soil. How about asking all other countries as to why they agreed to play there? Oh wait, not directly impacted..so let’s go and play!

[Shantnu @shantnu21]

@DBPerfectShots Still gives goosebumps!!
