@nsinghal211 Lottery or gambling is the only chance

@nsinghal211 🤣🤣🤣

[Armchair Thinker @theoriginalbops]

@rishi45kumar Fully agree with you. In fact last year after he lost to Sinner in the semis of FO, he had knelt down to touch the court & I thought he might never play here again to focus on hard and grass.

Estoy un poco hasta la polla.

Ya lo dije, una vez puede ser causalidad, cuando se repite 10000 veces ya no lo es.

La sobreprotección a Sinner lo único que hace es ensuciar el tenis cada día un poco más.

Ocurrió en su caso de dopaje, ocurrió en Wimbledon, ocurrió en Australia y ha vuelto a ocurrir en Roland Garros.

-Suspensión de 3 meses justo para no perderse Grand Slams y volver en Roma en su casa.
-Wimbledon 2025: paran el partido y cierran el techo cuando Dimitrov estaba arrasando. Dimitrov se lesiona porque vuelve frío.
-Australian Open 2025: Spizzirri va ganando el partido, Sinner con calambres y deciden PARAR el partido.
-Roland Garros 2026: paran el partido en medio de un juego porque Sinner está mareado con un 0-40 en contra.

Huele raro.

A friend paid 1.8L for KG.
My cousin paid 2.2L for UKG.
No meals, no transport just rhymes, ABCD & a WhatsApp homework group.

Extra charges for “smart class”, “activity kit”, “annual day costume”.

Principal drives a BMW.
Kid still watches YouTube at home.

This isn’t education.
It’s legalised looting starting at age 4.

@DTDCIndia what happened to my courier. No response, no support, no status update, not even attempting to deliver and updating status wrongly. Worst courier service in the world. Wait till I drag you to consumer court.

A cautionary tale about @urbancompany_uc and how a publicly listed company handles damage claims.

Booked their technician (Sanju Kumar) to install a Luminous inverter at my home in Bangalore. Routine job. Should've been 2 hours.

Invoice no: UCIC260004101947
Complaint no: 69f362690db9530026fe28d7

Instead of a standard install, he opened the main switchboard and worked with MAINS LIVE violating the most basic electrical safety rule. Phase-neutral cross-connection caused a ~280V surge through my home wiring.

Within minutes:
• Geyser circuit dead - Approximation given is around 12,000 to fix
• 55" Smart TV motherboard fried, panel and screen damaged - looking at full loss ( Rs 48,000)
• Apple TV completely destroyed (₹14,900 replacement)
• Home electrical wiring compromised (Assessing currently)

The moment Sanju Kumar realized he'd damaged the geyser, he packed up and LEFT mid-job. Inverter still uninstalled. No fix. No apology. No accountability.

Had to hire a different electrician the next day to fix the wiring he broke out of my own pocket.

Filed formal complaint with UC. Specifically requested a SENIOR technician for independent damage assessment.

UC's response? They sent SANJU KUMAR BACK. The same person who caused the damage. To "take photos" of his own work and walk away.

He showed up, photographed the damage he caused, left without resolution. No claims process opened. No callback.

When we asked UC for a complaint ID, it took multiple follow-ups and a manual download of a tax invoice to extract any documentation. They were not proactive in issuing one almost as if to avoid creating a paper trail.

3 sleepless nights. ₹40,000+ in documented damages. Complete radio silence from UC corporate after that.

@urbancompany_uc @abhirajbhal @raghavchandra @varunkhaitan — your company is publicly listed now. Retail and institutional shareholders are watching how customer grievances are handled.

Is THIS the customer experience model investors signed up for?

1. Technician violates basic electrical safety
2. Damages multiple appliances and home wiring
3. Walks off mid-job when he realizes his mistake
4. Same technician sent back to "investigate" his own damage
5. Customer chases for documentation that should've been auto-generated
6. Then gets ghosted

Listed companies are held to a higher standard of corporate governance, customer protection, and grievance redressal. SEBI compliance and investor disclosures aren't just about quarterly numbers they extend to how the brand treats its customers.

This isn't how a publicly listed company should operate.

Asking for:
1. Independent senior technician (not Sanju Kumar) to assess damage
2. Compensation for documented damages: ₹90,000+
3. Formal acknowledgment of complaint 69f362690db9530026fe28d7
4. Process review — no customer should have to extract their own complaint ID
5. Public clarification on UC's damage claims SOP

Have all invoices, technician's diagnosis report confirming overvoltage cause, photos, timestamps, and WhatsApp records.

please be careful. If a clearly documented case is handled this way, imagine the cases without paper trails.

Consumer forum filing prepared if there's no response in 48 hours.

[Chronicles @YMehta_]

Ordered food from @zomato after paying 30% extra to them.

Estimated delivery time was 20 mins.

After 50 mins the order didn’t get delivered yet.

Escalated this issue to the Zomato customer support who is actually the bot.

The bot replied order will arrive in next 1 mins and they did this for next 7 minutes.

The delivery boy took the order and he is almost 1 kms away from my home and restaurant.

The restaurant is just 2 mins walk from my home.

The delivery boy is somewhere in Malad, enjoying the food and saying order can’t be delivered. For refund contact customer support who is actually the bot. What should I do of such experience.

@TheTennisPanda Difference is Federer was at his prime age 22 to 25 whereas Novak was betn 34 to 36 yrs. Now which one is easier?

[Armchair Thinker @theoriginalbops]

@YMehta_ On top of that add the currency depreciation of rupees vs major global currencies.

We are having an old age home at 482 ,Vill: Asola Mehrauli. It is being run for the last 26 years. No donations, gift or any kind of private and govt is accepted. Around 42 persons, above the age 85 years live here. Everything is free from breakfast to lunch to dinner. Free medical and clothing. We booked two LPG cylinders on 3rd March with Bharat Gas Ltd, Shyam ji enterprises consumer no 69263233 in the name of Rakesh jain trustee. Another in the one resident of old age home ( GHARONDA).

[OldMonkOfCricket @OldMonkofCric]

Same boring IPL again. How are people even finding this entertaining? It’s just flat pitches and "win the toss, win the match." You could set a target of 300 and they’d still chase it down because there’s zero help for the bowlers.

There’s no respect for the game and no balance anymore. I’m tired of seeing a four or a six every single ball; it’s not real cricket. A real fan wants to see a pitch where bowlers actually have a chance to take wickets, not just get bullied.

Honestly, these flat tracks are boring and meaningless. The IPL has become a joke it feels like watching a game in a local park rather than an international standard tournament. No skill, just mindless hitting.

@MaryBowdenMD The country or its leaders have no role to play to send students to USA. Its mostly individuals who have the means in terms of wealth who come to USA for a better opportunity. The other category is who were not meritorious enough to get into top Indian medical schools who comes.
