#Iwillfindyou on @Netflix is a good popcorn show although if Rachel had asked for the remaining photographs in the first instance or Hayden had the sense and used his vast resources to remove Matthew's birthmark, the story would have been over in the first 30 mins @HarlanCoben

This is walking distance from where I live in Mumbai. While I believe Mumbai is the best city in India.

This is what the best of India looks like.

And trust me, those who believe this is not a result of Government policies and management, they are either stupid or evil.

This is the level of corruption in India. Ham log mahina ka 1Lakh तनख्वाह मिल जाता है तो ये सरकार को खुजली होने लगती है।

@PMCPune with the dwindling water supply, can we keep an eye on your bureaucrats water usage, for example Mr Mahadev Babar (ex-corporator) who lives in Kondhwa wastes water for 2 hrs every morning in his bungalow paid by tax payers.

@Airtel_Presence Still no response and no one has come from your technical team, what crappy customer service is this

[Tasneem @tasisme]

@airtelindia @Airtel_Presence. My wifi is down since morning and we have called customer service a number of times with no response or resolution. None of the assigned engineers are answering the call. Service request : 11031916106

LIC comes under the administrative control of the Ministry of Finance.

Its investment in Rajesh Exports is a clear case of fraud.

Thus, not only Dharmendra Pradhan, but N. Sitharaman should also be sacked immediately, and both put under investigation.

I am so tired of people shitting on India, I was born here in a lower middle class family, worked hard and made my way to a comfortable life without once working or studying outside India.
I have seen this country transform with facilities that were unimaginable even a decade ago

[Ashutosh Nandan @BiharKaVoice]

Seems like your son is not proud to live in India @KirenRijiju 😭

Every single BJP pilla has settled their son and daughter in some foreign country.

And they keep giving gyan of "Nationalism" to ordinary Citizens.

Porsche's value is Rs 4 crores. The 2 lives killed by Vedant Agarwal is priceless. The video of his family celebrating the bail would enrage anyone. Despite very senior journalists in the country pursuing the case, the killer family's money and power are protecting them. This tragic event was pursued by many channels for months together in prime time. If elites are immune to law, what faith a common man would have on the system?

I've already retweeted @Options_IndiaAB post.

Since I want this to reach lot of people, posting it separately too.

Here is the post:

I recently spent 2 weeks in China.

6 cities: Shanghai, Beijing, Xi’an, Zhangjiajie, Chongqing and Chengdu.

I went there with curiosity.

Like many Indians, I had heard a lot about China through media, social media and conversations. I expected to see progress, maybe discover some business ideas, and understand what the country is actually building.

I came back with a very uncomfortable feeling.

Not because I found a business idea for myself.

But because I saw 100 things that governments can do when infrastructure, tourism, transport, urban planning and civic systems are treated seriously.

I travelled within China by flights, trains, cars and local transport. The infrastructure was honestly stunning.

Clean cities. Smooth roads. High-speed trains. Well-managed traffic. Public spaces that actually feel designed for people. Tourist destinations that are built, maintained and promoted like national assets.

And then I kept thinking about India.

We keep comparing ourselves to China. Our media keeps telling us how India is catching up, how China is restrictive, how we are better in so many ways.

After spending time there and speaking to people, I realised how much of that narrative is just comfort food.

China is not perfect. No country is.

But on infrastructure, execution, tourism, civic discipline and quality of urban life, they are not 5 years ahead of us.

They are decades ahead.

The saddest part for me was the currency.

Everything felt expensive. Not because China was insanely expensive, but because the rupee has weakened so much that even normal spending starts feeling heavy. As an Indian taxpayer, that genuinely hurt.

We pay taxes. We work hard. We talk about becoming a global power.

But where is the quality of life?

Where is the civic sense?

Where is the infrastructure that makes daily life easier?

Where is the tourism vision beyond religious tourism?

I met travellers from other countries who were excited to visit China because they wanted to see its progress. When I asked about India, many had no real desire to visit. Not out of hate. India simply was not on their aspirational travel list.

That should bother us.

Even the so-called “closed internet” surprised me. We are told people there are missing out because they don’t use Google, Instagram, WhatsApp or Facebook.

But China has built its own digital ecosystem. Payments, maps, transport, messaging, shopping, everything works inside their own infrastructure. People did not seem to feel deprived. They seemed adapted.

Again, this is not a hate post.

I love India. That is exactly why this trip bothered me.

Patriotism cannot only be about saying we are great.

Real patriotism is having the courage to admit where we are falling behind.

China made me realise one thing very clearly:

India’s potential is not the problem.

Execution is.

And unless we stop comforting ourselves with comparisons and start demanding better infrastructure, better governance, better tourism, cleaner cities and a higher quality of life, we will keep celebrating the idea of progress instead of actually living it.

@IndiGo6E my friend (Badgeri/Vishweshwar) has been following up with your teams to recover his lost baggage, he has received no traction since 4 days of follow ups. This is not acceptable. Pls can someone help him urgently. PNR : ZBJSGG flight :6E 449 20th May - Delhi to Mumbai.

The NEET paper leak would probably have stayed buried forever if a school teacher from Sikar had not refused to stay silent.

Shashikant Suthar, a chemistry teacher from Rajasthan, was shown a “guess paper” by one of his neighbors after the NEET exam. That PDF had reportedly been circulating in Telegram groups for weeks.

Out of curiosity, he matched it with the real exam paper.

The result was terrifying.

Around 140 questions were identical. Same sequence. Same wording. Even punctuation marks matched.

He rushed to the local police station expecting immediate action.

Nobody listened.

No FIR.
No urgency.
No investigation.

But instead of giving up, he kept escalating the matter emailing the NTA, PMO, President of India, and CBI while continuously raising the issue online.

Only then did the system move.

Rajasthan Police formed a Special Operations Group. What initially looked like a small leak soon exploded into a nationwide examination scam connected across multiple states.

The case eventually reached the CBI. NEET was cancelled. And investigators uncovered an organized network of professional paper leak operators.

This entire scandal was exposed because one ordinary teacher decided that remaining silent was not an option.

Sometimes one honest citizen is more powerful than an entire broken system.

[YOUTH AGAINST SYSTEM @Youth_A_system]

AIIMS Darbhanga was announced to transform healthcare in Bihar, yet years later people mostly see a massive gate instead of a functioning hospital.

The project was initially approved at around ₹1,264 crore, and later the estimated cost reportedly increased to nearly ₹1,964 crore. Despite this, citizens are still waiting for proper medical infrastructure, doctors, wards, and treatment facilities.

Both the Central and Bihar governments, along with major political parties, have continued blaming each other over land disputes, approvals, and delays while ordinary people suffer due to poor healthcare access.

Development should be measured by functioning hospitals and better healthcare for citizens — not by ceremonial gates, political speeches, or endless blame games.

[Indraj Karauli 🇮🇳 @indraj143_m]

We demand the resignation of India’s Education Minister over the NEET paper leak issue.

When students lose their future, hope, and even their lives, accountability cannot stay silent.
17 students lost to pressure, injustice & failure of the system deserve answers. 🇮🇳

Only In India !! 🇮🇳

Their children study in UK & USA, while your children suffer from NEET-UG paper leaks, exam scams and broken education system here.

🙄🙄

[Free Talk Live @FreeTalkLive]

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.

That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.

Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.

A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

[Tasneem @tasisme]

Totally agree. On my initial years in corporate we were specifically asked to be dressed in saris and perform aarti for these goras. Cringe max 🙄

[Venky Ramachandran @venkinesis]

If you want to observe Indians' colonial servile mindset, pay attention to how Indian offices and their leaders behave and bend backwards while receiving foreign CEOs/Execs visiting India.

In my brief, ten-year long corporate career, cringiest moments have been those when I witnessed the cocktail of tamasha and embarrassment that unfolds when foreign CEOs/Execs visit Indian offices.

I once saw a Managing Partner arriving like a bridegroom in the Janavasam car (Baraat vehicle used for weddings) with a retinue of Nadhaswaram players playing ahead of his car. The poor bloke didn't want to be rude and went through all of this patiently, with garlands around his neck in Hyderabad heat.

Another time, I saw a foreign CEO being asked to light the lamp while a veena recital was happening. The veena player was an office employee and had to play her instrument to showcase, well, Indian culture.

Yes, Indians are known for Vasudeva Kudumbakam (the World Is One Family) and Atiti Devo Bhavah! (Guest is God). But seriously, why would you want to be so insecure and give an overdose of Indian culture in an inappropriate context while foreign guests visit India and enter our offices?

Why do we have to go overboard with our hospitality? When Indians go to work outside, none of this drama happens. If that's the case, why do we go overboard while receiving guests?

The crucial thing here is that of posture. We don't stand straight and receive others as equals.

We bend backwards and showcase our insecurity while receiving others. Can we develop a spine and receive others while standing straight?

[Cass🚩 @_xojnk]

The education for kids of political leaders should be compulsory in India. If Trump's son can get a degree from NYU why can't their kids go to DU.
These netas get money in the name of development but most of that goes to sustaining their lavish lifestyle and not the citizens.

[Rewa @CopiumState]

This woman's party asks for more reservation here while sending her own children abroad for a better quality of life and world class educatio, funded by the looted tax money of people.

Neta babu nexus can wreck their country cuz they have no stake in its future.
