⚠️ IF THAT FLYDUBAI PLANE HAD CRASHED…
1️⃣ The Indian pilot would have been blamed instantly.
2️⃣ Racists would have flooded social media with “Indian pilots” narratives before investigators even reached the wreckage.
3️⃣ Pakistani troll accounts would have amplified it, turning a tragedy into another India-bashing opportunity.
4️⃣ AI171 and the Phuket incidents would have been dragged in as evidence of a “pattern of behaviour” of Indian pilots.
5️⃣ Every unrelated Indian aviation incident would suddenly have become part of a narrative about supposedly “unsafe Indian pilots”.
6️⃣ Meanwhile, Oman’s lack of any meaningful history of aviation terrorism would have been used to bolster the India pilot angle.
7️⃣ If Indian pilot Capt Smit hadn’t survived & fought back to save the plane, the world would have got an entirely different story.
My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.
Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.
He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.
I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.
He is a true hero.
@Devanshi137 Completely different experience from MGVCL. The toll free from my area doesn’t work - when we complaint the main MGVCL toll free they have a fix response - the feeder is faulty- the team is on it.. when asked what is TAT - they never say how soon it will be fixed.
After a certain age, your parents slowly become your children. They ask simple questions, repeat stories, and depend on your patience the way you once depended on theirs. Very few understand this role reversal.What looks like innocence or inconvenience is really time coming full circle. Don't correct them harshly. Don't rush them. Care for them the way they once protected you. This is not a burden. It is repayment.
GLOBAL ENERGY CRUNCH: INDIA VS THE REST
While much of the world is in conservation mode, India is holding steady. Here’s the contrast:
REST OF THE WORLD
• Sri Lanka: Fuel rationing, public holidays
• Bangladesh: 5-hour blackouts, fertiliser plants shut
• Pakistan: 4-day work week, fuel cuts, schools shut
• Myanmar: Odd-even fuel use, pump closures
• Cambodia/Laos: Fuel stations shutting, WFH enforced
AFRICA
• Egypt: Early shutdowns, power curbs
• Kenya: Fuel rationing, export ban
• South Africa: Controlled fuel allocation
EUROPE
• Slovakia/Slovenia: Diesel quotas, fuel caps
OCEANIA
• New Zealand: Car-less days, flights cancelled
INDIA
• No fuel rationing
• No enforced shutdowns
• Supply lines intact
NOT YET. NOT EVER?
@CMShehbaz After all this bootlicking - no comments on situation of common people of Pakistan. Reportedly many died, no internet since last 8 hours and this guy flaunts about DJT!
