The very first clause of the law on which the foundation of human civilization has been established is that the life & blood of human being is inviolable.Among the civic rights of man,the foremost is right to live & among the civic duties,the foremost is let others live.#Humanity

#Hospital & #drug costs in our country are spiralling beyond what ordinary citizens can afford. Prices are often higher when insurance pays the bill than what individuals pay directly though even out of pocket costs are crushing. The need for regulation is urgent.

What benefit does @IRCTCofficial get by allocating seats in way it seperates people booking tickets together, such that they can't sit together even when booking when almost all reserved seats are available? It not just spoils travel experience and is also irritating..

It's now time that #civicsense is taught in schools. Being in public places and lacking civic sense not just creates nuisance to others but renders public places and public utilities unusable for others..
Going by actions, we do not seem lack civic sense but seem to abhor it...

What's the point of having big over crowded #cities? Traffic chaos, ever worsening living conditions, pollution, disproportionately high costs... Isn't it time for #equitable distribution of industrial hubs? Neaerer, cleaner, simpler and sustainable must be the way ahead.

- buy something for your children, pay #tax, could as simple as a chocolate or biscuits..
- buy something for home, pay tax
- withdraw your own money, pay charges
- avail professional services to pay/file your taxes, pay tax.

What does one get in return? Earn for whom?

The great burden of taxation:
1. On salary one pays upto 30% #IT
2. From whatever money you get after paying IT, if you,
- spend on food, pay #tax
- buy vehicle, pay tax
- buy petrol for vehicle, pay tax
- drive vehicle, pay #Toll (after paying road tax)

[Shehzad Shakeeb @ShehzadShakeeb]

- buy ticket to travel via public transport, pay #tax
- Avail necessary services including critical health services, pay tax
- Buy gadgets, pay tax
- Somehow you save and buy flat/home, pay gst, registration/stamp duty, property tax

I hired an expert to handle my IT returns, thinking it would make my life a bit easier. Now I'm paying #tax on the service I used to file my taxes from the money that's already taxed.. This loop! Honestly this hurts.

@RLR_BTM please have the buses cleaned. Travelling today, it's been an experience, that's not desired. The bus is full of cockroaches. Hope you will act accordingly.

@HDFC_Bank how many times should I tell you to stop automated calling for personal loans.. Even after asking you stop these nonsense telemarketing calls, I keep getting calls 6-7 times daily. It's too much. You intruding my personal space.

@TRAI, how is this allowed?

[Shehzad Shakeeb @ShehzadShakeeb]

What does this even mean? Why should I even register with you? You tell me, how do you even think of calling with taking explicit permission?

[HDFC Bank Cares @HDFCBank_Cares]

@ShehzadShakeeb Hi Shehzad, we sincerely regret the inconvenience. We wish to inform you that your mobile number is not registered in our ‘Do not call’ database. We therefore request you to register your mobile number on Bank’s Do Not Call.

We wish to confirm that post

[Shehzad Shakeeb @ShehzadShakeeb]

@HDFC_Bank why do I receive calls daily in your name yo apply for loan? Who has authorized you to schedule these automated calls daily?

It's irritating and completely unethical. Hope you do the needful.

@AzureSupport Have DM you the details..

[Shehzad Shakeeb @ShehzadShakeeb]

@AzureSupport need help in unlocking my new azure free account that I created for learning purposes. Tried to log a support case but it also fails with msg - "Your account has been locked. Contact your support person to unlock it, then try again". Please help.

[Shehzad Shakeeb @ShehzadShakeeb]

@HDFC_Bank why have enabled repeated back to back automated calls informing about your readiness to provide loan? This is not acceptable. When people need loan they will come to you. Stop this non sense. It's going on from almost a week.

#chatgpt is incrementally becoming dumb. It's not comprehending instructions as it used to before.

Is this being done willingly?

A lot has been said about #Bengaluru traffic. Fundamental to resolving these frustrating traffic woes is to cut down the need for long commutes.

Excited to draft the syllabus of the two electives that I will be teaching soon at @JSIAJindal. Both of them are closely related to my research — a) Digital Technology, Politics and Society and b) Understanding Gig Work in Contemporary Capitalism. Looking forward to suggestions!
