Booked a 5 km ride.
Ola showed тВ╣264. Rapido showed тВ╣242.
Not a single driver accepted.
Kept increasing the fareтАж
тВ╣300. тВ╣350. тВ╣400.
Still nothing.
The moment it touched тВ╣500, a driver accepted instantly.
Looks like the apps and drivers already know the тАЬrealтАЭ fare. The lower price is just there to pull users in.
And during the rainy season, this becomes even worse. The moment it rains, fares shoot up and getting a ride becomes a bidding war.
If rides arenтАЩt actually available at the price you show, stop advertising those fares.
This isnтАЩt convenience.
ItтАЩs manipulation.
India set up a fully functional field hospital in earthquake-hit Venezuela, thousands of kilometres away, simply to help those in need.
This wonтАЩt dominate timelines or rack up 50 million views. But let there be one racist post targeting Indians, and it spreads like wildfire.
Humanitarian work rarely goes viral. Hate almost always does.

Husband asks the wife,You wanted to visit Venice after watching a movie. How is it?
Then looking at his children closing their noses, he laughs and asks what happened?
If this was India, X will give 1B views.
An old man is selling watermelons by the side of the road.
His sign reads:
1 for $3
3 for $10
A young man stops and buys one watermelon.
тАЬThatтАЩll be $3,тАЭ says the old man.
The young man then buys a second watermelon. And then a third.
After paying another $3 each time, the young man picks up his watermelons and starts to walk away.
Then he turns back, grinning proudly.
тАЬHey old man,тАЭ he says, тАЬyou realize I just bought three watermelons for $9 instead of $10? Maybe business isnтАЩt your thing.тАЭ
The old man smiles and shakes his head.
тАЬFunnyтАж every time somebody comes by, they buy three watermelons instead of oneтАж and then try to teach me business.тАЭ
Booked a Rapido. Driver called:
тАЬBhaiya, extra dena hoga.тАЭ
Booked an Uber:
тАЬBhaiya, fare bahut kam hai.тАЭ
Then why did you accept the ride?
Booked an Ola:
Driver confirmed, then cancelled after 5 minutes.
The entire taxi aggregator system in India is a mess. There is not a single app that feels customer-centric. Half the cars are poorly maintained, drivers keep negotiating outside the app, and cancellations are normalised.
Once someone travels to places like Dubai or parts of Southeast Asia, they realise how far behind our basic service standards are.
This is how HaryanaтАЩs corrupt bureaucracy and politicians are тАЬmaking it a great state to live.тАЭ
TheyтАЩve sold off forests through legal paperwork and handed them to builders.
Now watch how DLF is legally clearing forest land, to sell a single flat for тВ╣70 crore.
Dear @TRAI,
Imagine your recharge plan is going to expire in 2 days.
Imagine someone is following your sister late at night, and she is trying to call you for help.
Imagine you are injured on the road and desperately trying to call a family member.
But before the call even connects, telecom companies play long warnings like тАЬyour plan is expiring soon, please rechargeтАЭ in two languages. During this warning, the actual call does not connect, and valuable time gets wasted.
In emergency situations, even a few seconds matter. These repeated recharge reminders are extremely frustrating.
We already know when to recharge. Customers should not be forced to listen to long, nonsensical warnings.
Please order all telecom companies to immediately stop these nonsense warnings before calls, or allow the call to connect while the warning plays in the background.
Be serious.

Well, that's India for youЁЯШн
Today, a person who pays zero tax and has never completed school has the same voting power as an engineer, doctor, or entrepreneur who builds the economy.
Is this fair?
Why let incompetent people steer the nation?
