I love how Outlook deletes meeting emails the moment I hit accept. It’s a genius idea, because obviously I’ll never need the agenda, Zoom link, meeting details, or literally anything else from that email again. Truly incredible software.

Today my daughter’s school bus took 2 hours to travel just 2 km in Varthur/Gunjur road.

For those 2 hours, I sat there as a parent feeling completely helpless.

I work hard. My wife and I pay lakhs in taxes every month. We took a huge home loan mainly so we could live close to our daughter’s school and give her a safer, easier childhood.

And yet, this is what “2 km from school” means here.

In the last year alone, we have seen a school bus topple, a woman suffer serious injuries after a fall, a biker almost lost his life after falling because of a pothole, and many more incidents that never become headlines.

Every day, ordinary people here tweet, email, complain, follow up and plead with authorities.

We are not activists.
We are not fighting for a political party.
We are parents, employees, families and taxpayers asking for one basic thing:

Please give our children a safe road to come home on.

Today, more than the traffic, what broke me was the feeling that despite doing everything a responsible citizen is supposed to do, I had absolutely no power to protect my own child.

If anyone knows how ordinary citizens of Varthur/Gunjur can reach someone with the authority to actually intervene, please help us.

Very, very stupid of Sony Bravia guys in India to send a ₹5cr legal notice to a customer as a means to discourage customers from sharing their experience about after-sales service.

2011 - My nanaji died in Patna.

I took the train home. I watched my Mama light his pyre. I sat through the rituals. I missed two minor exams at IIT Delhi.

When I returned to campus, I went to ask for a re-exam.

A professor looked at me and said: “You people from Bihar come here on reservation, can’t handle the pressure, then make excuses and kill your grandparents ten times over. Bring me his death certificate.”

I was twenty years old.

Twenty.

I had just come back from a cremation.

My Dadaji was already fighting cancer. My dadi had died of cancer few years back. I remember thinking, with the kind of fear you don't say out loud, that there might be another funeral in our family soon.

There was.

Five months later.

And there I was, standing in a corridor of one of India’s finest institutions, being asked to prove that my grandfather was actually dead.

I still remember that corridor.

I remember the humiliation.

I remember the anger.

But more than anything, I remember how small and helpless I felt.

I was grieving, and the institution I had worked so hard to enter had reduced that grief to paperwork.

The Dean’s office eventually sorted it out. I sat the exam. I graduated in three years.

IIT Delhi gave me a platform I could never have had otherwise. I will always be grateful for that.

But gratitude does not require silence.

Because on Monday, nearly 300 students gathered outside the Director’s office at IIT Delhi.

Eight of their classmates have died by suicide since 2023.

The latest was Rishikesh, a 31-year-old MSc Physics student. He had lost his father. He took a semester off. He came back with his mother, only to find his name struck off the hostel rolls.

Imagine that.

You lose your father.

You step away because you are grieving.

You return to the campus that was supposed to be your home and discover that, administratively, you no longer belong there.

The students used a phrase for what they are experiencing:

“Administrative indifference.”

I know exactly what they mean.

And that is what makes this so painful.

I don't think the people inside that system wake up wanting to hurt students.

That is almost worse.

It is a machine.

A machine that knows how to measure CGPAs, cut-offs, placement packages, rankings and deadlines.

But somehow never learned how to measure grief.

Never learned how to recognise the look on the face of a twenty-year-old who has just come back from a funeral.

Never learned that sometimes, before asking for a certificate, you simply ask:

“Are you okay?”

Every year, our brightest children fight their way into these institutions.

And some of them don't make it out.

Then we announce an inquiry.

Form a committee.

Issue a statement.

And eventually, we go quiet.

We cannot keep doing this.

Two things are not difficult.

First: serious, mandatory sensitivity training for faculty and administrative staff. Not an induction video. Not a box to tick.

The person a student meets after a death in the family is often not a counsellor. It is a professor. A section officer. A hostel clerk.

In thirty seconds, that person can make a grieving student feel like a human being or like an inconvenience.

We have trained them to administer rules.

We have not trained them to recognise suffering.

Second: Counsellors.

One or two counsellors for thousands of students is not a mental-health system. It is a formality.

A student in crisis should not have to wait weeks for an appointment and then be expected to somehow survive the waiting.

Hire enough counsellors.

Make them permanent.

Make them accessible.

And make sure that when a student says, “I need help,” someone is actually there that week.

I owe IIT Delhi a great deal.

That is precisely why I am saying this.

Because I remember that corridor.

And I never want another twenty-year-old, standing there after a funeral, to feel the way I did.

Not at IIT Delhi.

Not anywhere.

If traffic is not a problem on Indian roads - Why do VIP’s clear it for themselves?

If education is ok in India - why do VIP’s send their kids abroad and pay huge sums of money for them ?

If religion in India is about love-then why is there so much hate and violence in it?

Brown Rice is overhyped. Rice vs Roti is overhyped. Jaggery vs sugar is overhyped. Honey is overhyped.

Most Indians focus on wrong things for health.

Eat the carbs you like. Just add protein & fiber alongside.

Similarly GST is charged on merchants not consumers.

TDS is paid by Employers not Employees.

[EngiNerd. @mainbhiengineer]

How brutally this Govt is exploiting income tax payers. An example.

> Before 2017, there were no surcharge on Income upto 1 crore.
> Modi Govt reduced the limit and started surcharge from 50L onwards.
> So, taxpayers need to pay 10% extra tax on top of Income tax already paid and 4% cess.

In 2017 a rent of 2BHK in top cities were around 20K, now in 2026 it's somewhere 50K. The inflation has raised atleast 2-3x. 50L in 2017 is atleast 1.25cr in 2026 but surcharge limit isn't adjusted accordingly. It's still at 50L in 2026 which was 1cr before 2017 🥲

Count how badly and at how many levels this Govt is taxing us.

income tax -> then surcharge -> then health and education cess -> then exemption limit reduced to half -> then limit not adjusted to inflation -> then GST as you spend money.

With visible and invisible tax Govt tax atleast 6 times to income taxpayer for a single rupee earned and still give nothing in return.
