Sri Lanka has abolished pensions for its parliamentarians. Public office is a responsibility, not a lifelong entitlement. Taxpayer money must serve the people, especially with pressing needs in healthcare and education.
Time to rethink political privileges in India?
HDFC Bank has hit a new low!
After a 20-day delay, they are now saying that only spends on the active Infinia card will count towards the ₹18L limit for this financial year. This, despite Premier Customer Care very clearly confirming, when specifically asked, that spends on both cards would count before we proceeded with the network change request.
We have an 11-year relationship with the bank, with multiple personal and business accounts. But is it finally time to move all our banking relationships elsewhere?
If they can’t even stand by what their own representatives explicitly confirm, what is the point of maintaining a relationship with them?
@HDFC_Bank@HDFCBank_Cares
@CAC_CPRO By showing this, are you not pointing fingers at yourself?
How did this trash get accumulated in the first place inside your very own premises? Certainly not by outsiders. Wake up and stop doing PR just for the sake of being seen.

The Adani domestic lounges at t2 mumbai airport are now akin to a railway station. Huge queues, almost anyone and everyone gets in. Food is served in the most shabby way as if leftovers of some marriage buffett. Even the sanctity of their own lounge card is defeated as there is hardly any place to sit. More than retail, there are large no of credit card pop ups literally as if hawking with “card le lo, saste mein le lo” feel.
What started as a high quality experience is diminishing in lounge and airport experience.
Kuch ek hamare purane yaar aaj kal poori bhakti mein magan hain. Unhe na toh rank, na jo wardi pehni thhi, ka khayal. Bas WhatApp pe aye forwards ko apne hee betab tarike se tweet kar dete hain. Sharam toh aati humme hai comments padh kar.
My father was born in Sargodha. A well known designer from Sargodha, Pakistan, once came to India, and the two immediately hit it off. They sat together, talking warmly about how Sargodha and Lahore had changed and reminiscing about the properties my father and grandfather had there before Partition.
And , needless to say, my father being an Indian Army Officer , fought fiercely for India in both the 1965 and 1971 wars against Pakistan.
Maturity lies in understanding the difference between fighting for your country in uniform and engaging with citizens of another country in peacetime. Patriotism does not demand hatred; it demands the wisdom to know when to fight and when to coexist.
@AmazonHelp Waseem from @amazonIN, the email gives no information and justification for not delivering the product even after 4 days despite complete payment upfront. Your own helplessness to provide any cogent information is very evident.
@amazonIN Ordered 2 items on 30 Sep.
Del date 1 Oct and 4 Oct.
Both not delivered till now.
Each day, del was sch but EOD message said - OTP not available. But no calls. No delivery person visited ever. Finally order cancelled.
Mockery of Amazon's supply chain management.
@AmazonHelp Your delivery teams - last mile connection with the customer are a mess.
You still have no clue what they did with the item from 1-5 Oct. Why was it not delivered?
Why wrong status updates were provided to me and to your call centres, who were as clueless and helpless?
@AmazonHelp Link active for 1 hour?
Do you people really want to help or is this a mere formality?
I clicked the linked and it takes me to the same page of order status which only has bad news or no news for me.
Yesterday at CP, there were jammers because of a protest, so an Argentine woman at Saravana Bhavan couldn’t pay her approx ₹500 bill. Her card, UPI basically nothing worked. I ended up paying for her.
She said, “India is such an interesting country. The system is so hostile, but the people are equally kind.”
And honestly, it made me think: it’s rightly said, India disappoints both the optimist and the pessimist; often in the same afternoon. 😭
