More @airtelindia fiasco
They cant send sms alert for upcoming wifi bill due date if dnd is activated on my postpaid mobile.
However they can send sms to confirm bill payment.
They want me to deactivate DND to solve this :/

Anyone considering moving to @airtelindia should consider this factor

In case there are connectivity issues, you can raise a ticket with Airtel. But they will close it without discussing with you.

Thats how they work.

Goliath won! This era's David can't fight Corporate+Government authorities!

Headlines Today- Kenvue introduces ORSL for diarrhoeal and eRZL for daily hydration!
What can a citizen do when the Govt. authorities are in cahoots with a corporate which is not wanting to do ethical branding of it's product?!
The eRZL is sweetened with SUCRALOSE, an artificial sweetener. It is not allowed below 2 years of age, and even for older children, it is not recommended on a regular basis. It can worsen the diarrhoea, it can affect the gut microbiome, it can cause children develop preferences for sweet foods and lose appetite for healthy foods, and the long term effects are debatable. Abbot had to remove it from Paedialyte for these reasons, and there are multiple court cases against Abbot for these very concerns. For that matter, this can't be recommended for adults also for daily hydration. eRZL is so deceptively similar to ORSL, and is going to be available in pharmacies and hospitals again! Parents who were always believing ORSL was the real ORS, are going to think this is the new version of ORSL(ORS as far as they are concerned), and imagine the havoc it can wreak!
Here, I am requesting you all to write to the Trade Marks Registrar and the FSSAI CEO, and Kenvue has already made the announcement! How did they get permission in less than 2 months for eRZL branding and in less than 1 month for the varieties of eRZL?!
I do not think I can fight this team comprising of the CORPORATE AND AUTHORITIES any more!

@narendramodi, Sir, you stop them from playing with the lives and health of the children, atleast! Please, Sir!

Imagine a country that is home to global tech leaders like Nokia.

A country that consistently ranks among the 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 in the world.

Now, imagine how such a country chose to celebrate 𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲.

A towering statue?
A grand military spectacle?
A flashy vanity project?

No, none of that.

Instead, Finland chose to build something far more powerful: 𝗮 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆.

Not just any library.

Finland built a massive, state-of-the-art civic space right opposite its Parliament, the Oodi Central Library.

This was Finland’s centenary gift to its people, 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 €𝟭𝟬𝟬 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻, nearly ₹𝟵𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗲 in Indian rupees.

Now, just pause and think:

₹𝟵𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿, but on a living space for knowledge, learning, dialogue, and creativity.

And Oodi is not just about books.

It is a multifunctional public space that includes:

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀, children’s libraries, music and recording studios, screening rooms, event halls for 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀, and open areas for people to think, meet, and learn, Oodi has it all.”

What makes this 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴.

Oodi was built at a time when many countries were 𝗰𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 aand cultural spending.

But Finland went the opposite way.

This is the kind of forward-thinking India must urgently learn from.

------------------

As 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁 often says:

“We are not born as human beings; we have to be 𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀.

And this includes education of the outer world as well as the inner world.”

When education becomes central, people stop falling for hollow slogans and false pride.

A nation that neglects education may look strong on the surface but remains fragile at its core.

We asked this question at a recent Durga Puja function in Noida. Can anyone guess the answer?

@joybhattacharj Reminded of a colonial era story of a British officer addressing his cavalry unit - sowars..
Gentlemen, tum sooar ho, hum sooar hai, hamara baap bhi sooar tha, hum sab sooar ka beta hai!
To which a soldier observes, sooar ka pata nahin par ye pakka ullu ka pattha hai!

Had signed up for @PeopleMatters2 TechHR. The event is over but so far have received about a dozen unsolicited cold mails from random vendors.
Never happened before. Not cool!
