If it wasn't enough that you call customer care and get put on hold for ages, Airtel now calls you up and puts you on hold straightaway. Can't even..

@patalmypal @beastoftraal Almost every State in India has a version of this.

@beastoftraal Eventually distilling down to the "religion is the opium of the masses" trope?

@airtelindia My home WiFi has been down for 2 weeks and your app chatbot has defeated me with its ability to send me around in circles without fixing the problem. Can you please assign a human to call me and fix the issue?

@mindmusclepro @Tweet_KP @Madhusree24 This is down to basic decency & compassion. There are people from gaon dehat who are socially responsible and compassionate. Entitled morons however cut across social lines - you will find them everywhere and unfortunately most Indians have a reputation for it.

@MP_m_98 Boys be laughing at this, but this is exactly the reputation your fellow men have created for you. Peace out.

Indeed! To conflate a Rasgulla with an Idli is not just a culinary error; it is a profound cosmological misunderstanding.

To begin with, the comparison is practically a biological impossibility. She is comparing chhena (the delicate, squeaky, pristine curd of milk) with a meticulously fermented batter of parboiled rice and black gram (urad dal). Their compositions are from entirely different kingdoms. One is an airy, spongy lattice designed to trap light sugar syrup; the other is a dense, wholesome, steamed matrix of complex carbohydrates and proteins. Their taste, consistency, structural integrity, and existential purpose share absolutely nothing in common.

But more important, her attempt to dismiss the Idli as merely a blank canvas for sugar syrup does a grave disservice to what is arguably one of the greatest engineering marvels of the culinary world.

The Idli is not a mere "bland cake." It is a masterclass in biotechnology. To achieve the perfect Idli is to balance the delicate microflora of wild fermentation over a cold night, resulting in a steamed cloud that is a triumph of gut health, lightness, and nutritional balance. It is a savoury monolith of South Indian culinary genius, perfectly engineered to absorb the sharp tang of a well-spiced sambar or the fiery depth of a molaga-podi (gunpowder) paste infused with cold-pressed sesame oil or nutritious melted ghee.

To suggest an Idli would even consent to being drowned in sugar syrup is to fundamentally misunderstand its dignity.

If this lady finds Rasgullas overrated, argue that on the merits of their sponginess or sweetness. But please, leave the noble, perfectly fermented, steamed majesty of the Idli out of your dessert-table polemics, ma'am!

@vikasbardia @BLRAirport Taxi fares from the city are high enough as it is, without this new fee being passed on to commuters as well. There’s got to be a better way.

[The Mallu Bong (द മല്ലു বং) 🇮🇳 @themallubong]

@beastoftraal Indeed we have. What's more, the general idea of mainstream humour in India has been largely based on ridicule of an "other". That this kind of messaging sells is no surprise, rather is likely to be considered the new standard of "patriotic".

@thesaurin @banglani Mumbai crowd was anything but quiet. They were chanting each bowler's name and encouraging them when the chips were down. It was totally different.
