@NCResq I have observed this happens mostly with partners who are new to the system. Like a new uber driver, a new cafe waiter who asks for Google rating and name mention, new UC partner. Ones who already are in the system don't push that much at least in my experience.

The Indigo mess has exposed something ugly — not just in the system, but in us.

1. We are brave only at home. If this crisis had unfolded at Heathrow or JFK, every stranded Indian would have quietly queued up, swallowed the pain, and behaved. But here, we suddenly discover courage in mobs. We are bullies.

2. Our outrage is selective. If Indian Railways cancelled hundreds of trains, it wouldn’t trend for 48 hours. Media doesn’t travel by sleeper class anymore. The railway passenger is reduced to the ‘cattle class’ stereotype. Empathy ends where discomfort begins for elites.

3. Those who failed in Indigo, DGCA, and the government remain unnamed. But the staff at the counters suffer public humiliation. These frontline workers didn’t design the system, didn’t cause the crisis, don’t have real answers nor in control of the situation nor have the solution. Yet they absorb every insult from entitled passengers. They deserve applause, not abuse.

4. Look at airfares during the chaos — Bengaluru return tickets crossed ₹1 lakh. That wasn’t pricing. It was profiteering. When systems collapse, the market becomes a vulture.

5. Before we crucify airlines, can we calculate how much money the government extracts through GST, fuel taxes, airport charges, and regulatory fees — versus what airlines actually retain? If someone did that arithmetic, the narrative would be very different.

This crisis didn’t just show operational failure — it showed who we really are as a society: entitled indoors, submissive abroad, apathetic to the invisible traveller, and blind to structural greed. The only people who walked out with dignity were the lowest-paid employees - the ones we shouted at.

@NCResq Same shit happened to me. I was ordering something urgently and it didn't even ask me to pay but order got accepted and is processing. I didn't know what happened, and later when delivery guy came he asked for COD. Then I kept wondering when did I even select cash on delivery

Here, Zohran Mamdani reads Umar Khalid's Notes from Jail in New York, ahead of Modi's arrival in 2023.

Mamdani is a man of guts, character, and integrity. I have to admit, I like him so much more now.

@theliverdoc Thank you doc for all the efforts you put to spread knowledge and science. Made a small contribution to the project, appreciate the good work.

@ganeshsonawane Acceptance. Takes time but it is the best way. Going through the same, took time. What helps - gym workouts to define body shape, protein rich food, wear good clothes and style them well, grow and shape that beard to balance out the face aesthetic, get a piercing.
