*Hotel complimentary breakfast* is the place where a man eats not out of hunger but out of a sense of recovering the room rent. At home two toasts suffice in the morning, but the moment he picks up a plate in the hotel the inner chartered accountant wakes up.
First he will put fruit because he has to look healthy, then next to it aloo paratha, idli, poha, sausages and a tiny croissant whose identity he doesn’t know but which is free so it must be respected.
As soon as the plate runs out of space he picks up a second plate and tells himself this is only for the omelette. The live-counter guy asks veg or cheese, onion, tomato, chilli, mushroom… now we are not ordering an omelette, we are giving information as detailed as choosing a life partner.
Then he puts bread in the toaster. It disappears from the bottom but never comes out. You bend over and peer inside as if a child has fallen into a borewell. Just then someone else’s burnt toast emerges from behind and he looks at you suspiciously as if you did something to his bread.
The coffee machine has six buttons. Press espresso and two spoons of sorrow drop into the cup. Press cappuccino and the machine first groans, then releases steam, then gives so much foam that the coffee ends up living somewhere underneath like a tenant.
You return to the table and your wife asks “Who will eat so much?” You say “I just took a little,” while looking at the table it seems the United Nations has sent famine-relief supplies. In between the waiter comes to clear plates and you, while saving the half-eaten idli, say “It’s still going on.” Is this a meal or an old EMI that must not be closed?
In the end the stomach has already surrendered but the eyes fall on the sweets. We wrap one muffin in a napkin and keep it for later. Then back in the room we cannot lie straight on the bed for two hours and proudly declare “No need for lunch today.” That is the real saving of hotel breakfast: money is saved for one meal and the digestive system does two days of overtime!

Indian Automakers just topped the world in EV efficiency. Not Tesla. Not BYD. Tata and Mahindra.
Among the world's 22 largest automakers, Tata Motors and Mahindra posted the lowest energy consumption per km in 2025, beating Tesla and BYD on efficiency.
Indian engineering, built for Indian roads, is now setting the global benchmark.

No praise is good enough for this hero duo Riyazuddin and son who emptied their shop of mattresses to spread them on ground - to cushion the fall of people jumping off from the burning hotel in Malvia Nagar. What an act of humanity and quick thinking. In that chaos to think straight and save lives - this hero deserves full compensation by MCD and commendation by the govt and also a public felicitation at a prominent place in Delhi @LtGovDelhi@gupta_rekha
Bro is Pradeep Gupta.
His Exit Poll were wrong in the Lok Sabha Elections, everyone saw his crying pictures on TV, We trolled him a lot.
But in this Election, he's the only pollster who understood Tamil Nadu correctly. He's the only one who predicted that Thalapathy Vijay's TVK would become the largest party in Tamil Nadu.
Credit where credit is due ✌️

IT TAKES A LOT TO BE REVATHI…!!!
While the whole country is celebrating the landmark judgement of death penalty for the NINE policemen in the Santhanakulam custodial torture and murder of Jeyaraj and Bennix, you should know about Revathi.
Revathi was a constable in Santhanakulam police station in 2020 when the gruesome incident took place. She was the key witness and the sole reason for all the arrogant officers getting punished today.
The police men involved in the brutality were all big men, Revathi was a small time constable. But she stood unperturbed.
When Magistrate Bharathidasan, who initially investigated this case, arrived at the Santhanakulam police station he had no clue that constable Revathi will help close the case.
"Sir, I will tell you everything, every detail, the truth that is being hidden. But I am the mother of two young girls... can you guarantee the safety of my children and my job?", she had asked the magistrate.
Revathi was on night duty when the cruel incident took place. She witnessed the brutality being inflicted on Jeyaraj and Bennix and narrated every single detail.
She told how SI Balakrishnan, inspector Sridhar and SI Ragukanes, kept beating the father and son with whatever they found, and how they also stomped on their private parts with their shoes.
She remembered their screams. She saw how the officers took pause only to sip alcohol while the victims withered in pain.
When the father and son were semi-conscious, unable to bear it, Revathi asked Jayaraj if he needed anything. She gave him coffee which the officials spilt it immediately.
Revathi couldn’t stand the brutality but being a woman constable there was only so much she could do. She then offered water to the victims.
The so called policemen then stripped Bennix naked, tied his hands and legs separately, and beat him up. They did the same to Jeyaraj. Revathi couldn’t bear the pain of their screams, she left the place.
According to the postmortem report, their entire back was skinned, iron rods were inserted and they bled from their rectums.
When the case was being discussed by the media, when even the CM of Tamil Nadu tried to brush it away, Revathi knew the truth.
The police officials, cleaned up the station of any DNA evidences, erased the CCTV footage and warned everyone to shut-up and not try to become heroes.
But Revathi didn’t just narrate the entire ordeal in exact detail…she even helped the investigating officials obtain other crucial information.
Despite everything being cleaned, Revathi gathered DNA of the victims in crevices of the walls and floors, on furniture and other objects.
She was questioned, threatened, intimidated, bribed and even abused. She stood by justice. She had to go against her colleagues for justice of comman man.
In the time when police force is often looked upon with reasonable suspicion, there are people in uniform like Revathi.
Today court could pronounce death sentence to nine police officers - only because one woman decided she will stand by truth!
Kudos to Revathi, an amazing woman and an absolutely fabulous police officer.
The world is a better place because of her courage.
Salute ma’am 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

If the BCCI only participated in this tournament because of ‘multilateral obligations’ etc then it should donate ALL of the money it has made from the ENTIRE tournament to the welfare of our armed forces
So should the channel that telecast it
Put your money where your mouth is
The entire drama of Ben Stokes himself asking for a draw out of frustration.

♥️ Switzerland - what a lovely move!
Hope this is the beginning of a massive European reform. And once the West takes it up, discourse will shift and we will happily copy.

Reasons for British Navy's F-35B stealth fighter jet sitting helplessly in India for 20 days?
Did the British try some snooping on Indian radars which jammed the jet?
Why do they need US technical experts to come to simply "tow" it? Firmware locked?
