There are many great singers that sing during navratri, but it's somehow only @FalguniPathak12 who resonates with me. Others also sing well, but when falguni sings, it feels like she has brought me in contact with gods. As if gods are listening and doing garba or dandia to her

Every Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri/Durga Pujo reminds me what makes Mumbai (including MMR) as a society so great. Mumbai, the only true cosmopolitan multicultural city in India, where a bengali and gujarati festival will be celebrated by people of all linguistic groups side by

@DesiUrbanist Not just Adani, our private companies have done a hell lot for our city than the shortsighted governments. Hating the rich has become a new fad at this point, I hope it's not mainstream.

@DesiUrbanist MMR is transforming .For the first time in our living history the focus is shifting from a 10km radius in South Mumbai and expanding out to a wider MMR to capture the true potential of Aaamchi Mumbai.

Idk if Mumbaikars (all MMRkars i mean) realise what CIDCO and Adani are trying to do here. With the two airports CIDCO and Adani are trying to make MMR a global layover hub where tourists transferring between transcontinental flights will spend a day or a few hours to explore

Me and @HarshulMehtaa saw this scene yesterday not only on aqua but also on blue, yellow and red lines. Those idiots who say Mumbai Metro is unaffordable really need to see this, kids from posh schools like VIBGYOR, Jamnabai, Poddar, Thakur, Billabong, Universal, DG Khetan and

one thing i've understood is that this tweet and the one after it have reinforced the one belief i've had since a long time. Delhi is to India what Singapore/Tokyo is to east and SEA, an okay city that's grossly overrated because it's form looks more organised and has

I see that this tweet of mine has caused quite a stir, triggered many proud amdavadis because i criticised their red line (meanwhile ignoring the praise i showered on their blue line, but that's okay) be honest to yourself, is any part along red line in amdavad really easy to
FINALLY!!!! Ahmedabad metro is finally about to be useful until now it was just a useless toy train smh (barring blue/east-west line, that still ran full between university and kankaria for some reason)

precisely what i meant when i wrote that tweet and meant to say it's the only city in india with public transport that's kid friendly, like the way it's done in megacities around the world mumbai bends over backwards to accomodate children, special passes, unofficial rules,
@DesiUrbanist In Mumbai, the BMC operated transport advises passengers to help young children,young girls to board, deboard , give way etc. It’s only through our empathetic cooperation will the children travel safe.

Everyday I find n number of little school students from Shardashram, DSilva School in Dadar 🔁 Worli route One day they were sitting in the back seats with parents and playing antakshari. Gave me vibes of a picnic and removed my 7 hr college stress immediately 🤌🏻

the only private metros that will actually make profit anywhere, not just in india, is those whose non farebox revenues exceed 50% Hong Kong's MTR is one such example, Tokyo Metro is another Reliance's @MumbaiMetro01 came very close to this, but alas, that 2 years of running
An experiment at a fully private metro system in India shows its results.

never mentioned or compared with delhi never said metro, used the word public transport (which mumbai has had for at least half a century before delhi) never said metro is the only form of public transport either yet every butthurt delhiite is spamming my comments lol you guys
@DesiUrbanist Delhi kids are using their metro for past 10 years and more.
