The amount of food-scare that is happening for consumers in India, even Palm oil brand packets will have to mention “Free from palm oil” on them soon.

People who interrupt a standup comedian’s flow with your own witticisms & commentary, do you also do this at Plays,Movies,& your offices & homes? Do you like the sound of your own voice so much that you feel like interrupting an entire Audience’s paid-for show? Can you shut up?

Dear @Anurag_Dwary, This is the power of your post. You stood up for Indore. Journalists took a cue everywhere. TOI Dedicates a full page. The late Appan Menon used to say, every journalist will grow up to realise that these are the bigger stories. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm starting a campaign to bring South Bangalore's parks to their glory and I need your support. For the uninitiated, until a month ago all BBMP parks were officially* supposed to be open from 5 am to 10 pm. Then, the newly formed Bengaluru South City Corporation changed the

Happy to share that 'Bangalore Thindi' has crossed 450 places. I have tried each one over the last 15 years. Anyone who wishes to explore Bangalore - this is a decent repository of Karnataka style vegetarian Thindi, Chats & snacks. Hope to keep adding :) https://t.co/LZgjL4xJ1i

455 places - Thindi places I have covered in and around Bangalore. I have coverd many of them in my column for Hindustan times. Will cover one every week :)

My walking path in Sri Lanka last week, a country that faced economic meltdown recently vs my walking path in India today, which is the "world's 4th largest economy". No wonder my friends who can afford are leaving India.

Tried the Navi Mumbai airport today. The prepaid taxi network seems to be fine The Best bus service looks good but frequency is poor No network - so no access to uber ola etc easily Way too far from Mumbai city - too some 2 hrs of travel Airport seems to lack soul, very dull
A piece of advice to all travellers to Mumbai. Do NOT take an incoming flight to Navi Mumbai Intl Airport under ANY circumstances for the next several months. It's a complete disaster here. Zero network, No proper arrangements for taxis. Pax struggling to get cabs 1/2

There is an instinctive aversion I’ve now to any statement/tweet that’s straightaway lifted from chat GPT to be pasted here. I don’t care how important the issue is, or the point you’re trying to make. Seeing “This is not ____ , it’s _____” infuriates me Please emdash yourself.

The Station Nightclub fire happened in 2003. No smartphones. No Instagram. 100 people still died because they stood watching the flames, thinking it was part of the show. I've retrofitted fire safety for some of the largest property portfolios in the UK post-grenfell. You
This clip truly epitomizes the age of Instagram stupidity, where the urge to record stuff is now powerful enough to override instincts programmed into humans since the dawn of time.

Your annual reminder that please avoid rushing into crowded places today. If you have to, Wear a backpack on your chest. Crowd management is difficult as it is. New year stampedes are quite common across the world.

It’s been 19 days and 20 hrs since I last felt Kate’s warm embrace. She landed 47 minutes ago. The 24 hours of travel no doubt has her rushing to shower. She needs to cleanse herself of a dirtied world incompatible with her sensibilities. The wash doubles as a ritual, preparatory

My calendar didn’t have any meeting on 31st (thanks) - so google calendar didn’t list it. Took me some time to mentally confirm that December has a 31st and it hasn’t vanished.

I had written about the motive behind @Infosys land banks 20 yrs ago in my Nov 2005 Outlook story. Had followed it up with a mini series too. Later, in 2010, my editor, Vinod Mehta, had picked this as one of Outlook’s 15 groundbreaking stories in 15 years. https://t.co/unW1YwD1qW
If the land was given at a concession for a specific purpose & the land wasn't utilised for that purpose @Infosys has no right to sell it for a commercial rate today. Return the land & proceeds to the Government of Karnataka
