@flipkartsupport: Hey, I had written your handle about misbehaviour by one of your delivery agents today. There is absolute silence from your side. What should I assume from it?
Whats wrong, guys?
@Flipkart
Argentina vs Cape Verde is the best game of this World Cup so far. What a game! 🔥
Every time you thought Argentina had won it, Cape Verde found a way back. If only the rest of the African teams had shown that same mentality😭❤️
“You were called the sexiest sportsman in 2005.”😳😂
When Rahul Dravid was told this…
his reaction was priceless.
“Really? Was it? Wow…”
“There must not have been too much competition!” 💀
Then he was told that he had actually defeated Yuvraj Singh. 🤯
Dravid instantly said:
“That must rank as one of the greatest achievements ever.” 😂
Then came the most Dravid answer possible….
“Is there any certificate to prove that?”
“Maybe I can keep it with all the awards I’ve received from the government…” 😭
“And the headline should read:
Beaten Yuvraj Singh.” 🏆😂

In the 1980s, two novels by Ramapada Chowdhury were adapted by two prominent Bengali directors for their Hindi cinematic ventures. While Mrinal Sen made 𝘌𝘬 𝘋𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘬, based on Chowdhury's story Beej, Tapan Sinha made 𝘌𝘬 𝘋𝘰𝘤𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘬𝘪 𝘔𝘢𝘶𝘵 from his novel Abhimanyu. Furthermore, it would be a crime not to mention Bimal Mitra, a literary giant of Bengali literature, whose novel was adapted by Guru Dutt into the masterpiece 𝘚𝘢𝘩𝘪𝘣 𝘉𝘪𝘸𝘪 𝘢𝘶𝘳 𝘎𝘩𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘮, which made it to the prestigious Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Similarly, Narayan Sanyal's story became the foundation for 𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘺𝘢𝘬𝘢𝘮, featuring one of Dharmendra's finest performances.

The Polite way to pee.
A teacher trying to teaching her students the polite way to pee asked following question:
"Michael, if you were on a date having dinner with a nice young lady, how would you tell her that you have to go to the bathroom?" 🤔
Michael said, "Just a minute, I have to go pee." 😐 The teacher responded, "That would be rude and impolite." 🙅♀️
"What about you, Sherman? How would you say it?" Sherman said, "I am sorry, but I really need to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back." 🤐 "That's better," said the teacher, "but it's still not very nice to say the word 'bathroom' at the dinner table." ☝️
"And you, Little Johnny... can you use your brain for once and show us your good manners?" 🤨
Johnny said, "I would say: 'Darling, may I please be excused for a moment? I have to shake hands with a very dear friend of mine, whom I hope to introduce to you after dinner.'" 🤝😳
The teacher fainted. 😵💀😂
Fabián Vargas 🗣️: “ I was playing for Almería and we were facing Barça. Before the match, some friends called me asking for my jersey to auction and raise money for victims of the severe floods in Colombia.” 🇨🇴
“So I decided to speak to Messi before the game, explain the situation, and ask if I could have his shirt after the match.” 👕
“But we lost 8–0, I was upset, and I forgot to go get it at full time.” 😔
“Then Almería’s kit manager came into the dressing room and said someone wanted to see me.” 👀
“I went outside and saw Messi standing there with a small bag. He said, ‘Here are some shirts for your fundraiser.’” 🐐
“I hugged him and thanked him. When I opened the bag, I saw not only his shirt, but also shirts from Iniesta, Piqué, Alves, Xavi, and Puyol.” ❤️
“I will never forget his incredible gesture.”
West Bengal Wonders:The Story Of Chandannagar’s Jalbhara Sandesh received GI (Geographical Indication) tag.
ince the 19th century, Surya Modak's Jalbhara sandesh has been known as the "Jamai Thokano Mishti" (sweetmeat to trick the son-in-law). According to local lore, the Bandyopadhyay family of Telinipara commissioned this sweet specifically to play a trick on their sons-in-law. The legendary Surya Modak created this unique delicacy by filling a sandesh — shaped like the kernel of an ice apple — with rose-scented syrup. The sweet is incredibly delicious, and because it is filled with liquid, it became famous in Chandannagar as 'Jalbhara' (meaning 'filled with water/liquid'). Today, Jalbhara is produced in a variety of flavours, including chocolate, mango and strawberry.
Saibal Modak, a confectioner from this renowned Chandannagar establishment, said, "Chandannagar's Jalbhara sandesh enjoys a reputation across India. Obtaining the GI tag was essential for expanding business into the international market. We are overjoyed that Jalbhara sandesh has received GI recognition."
Regarding the GI (Geographical Indication) certification process, he said, "We applied for the GI tag in September 2022 and received this recognition after four long years. The sweet has successfully passed through various procedural stages. From now on, Surya Modak’s 'Jalbhara' will be known as 'Chandannagar-er Jalbhara' (Chandannagar's Jalbhara). We wish for a statue of Surya Modak to be erected in Chandannagar and have submitted a request to the local MLA regarding this. To expand the reach of 'Jalbhara' in the international market, its shelf life needs to be extended. The government must take the initiative to conduct research for this purpose. Only then will 'Jalbhara' gain prestige in foreign markets and open up new business avenues."
A duck walks into a bar and orders a pint of beer and a ham sandwich.
The barman looks at him and says, “Hang on… you’re a duck.”
“I see your eyes are working,” replies the duck.
“And you can talk!” exclaims the barman.
“I see your ears are working too,” says the duck. “Now, if you don’t mind, can I have my beer and sandwich?”
“Certainly. Sorry about that,” says the barman as he pours the pint. “It’s just that we don’t get many ducks in here. What are you doing around this way?”
“I’m working on the building site across the road,” explains the duck. “I’m a plasterer.”
The barman is amazed, but the duck pulls a newspaper out of his bag and starts reading, making it clear the conversation is over.
He drinks his beer, eats his sandwich, says goodbye, and leaves.
The same thing happens every day for the next two weeks.
Then one day, the circus comes to town.
The ringmaster stops into the bar for a drink, and the barman says,
“You’re with the circus, aren’t you? I know a duck who’d be perfect for your show. He talks, drinks beer, eats sandwiches, reads the newspaper… the lot!”
“Sounds marvelous,” says the ringmaster, handing over his business card. “Tell him to give me a call.”
So the next day, when the duck comes into the pub, the barman says, “Hey, Mr. Duck, I think I can line you up with a great job. Good money, too.”
“I’m always interested in the next job,” says the duck. “Where is it?”
“At the circus,” replies the barman.
“The circus?” asks the duck.
“That’s right.”
“The circus… with the big tent?”
“Yep.”
“With all the animals in cages and the performers living in caravans?”
“Exactly.”
“And the tent has canvas sides and a big canvas roof with a hole in the middle?”
“That’s the one,” says the barman.
The duck looks at him in complete confusion and says…
“What the hell would they need a plasterer for?”
The kind of complex thinking a pani puri vendor does daily is mind-blowing.
Take a simple evening at a stall. Six people standing, each on their 5th or 6th puri, some already demanding a second plate. Suddenly a new customer walks in. Most vendors don’t say, “Wait.” They just weave the person seamlessly into the cycle.
Now imagine the mental math:
Remembering who is at which puri.
Keeping track of whose turn is next.
Managing fresh plates, second plates, and shared plates; all together.
Customizing taste (extra teekha, more meetha, no aloo, jain, swaminarayan).
Balancing chutneys, potatoes, and flavored water so nothing runs out mid-cycle.
Handling payments; immediate, delayed, or credit.
Running logistics: how many plates to sell to survive the day?
And this is just the basic complexity.
All of it is happening in real time, with no Excel sheet, no CRM, no team, no reminder app. One mistake, and the customer knows instantly.
Now compare that with our white-collar world. We call ourselves multitaskers but lean on reminders, tools, meetings, and buffers. A pani puri vendor doesn’t get that luxury. For him or her, complexity is not a skill on the CV; it’s survival.
The next time you eat pani puri, notice not just the taste but the brilliance of the brain behind it.
