Will the #Nifty close higher on budget day?

@dmgbnagar @CeoNoida @noida_authority This is causing unbearable stench from stagnant water and has become a breeding ground for mosquitos leading to widespread dengue, malari and chickenguinea. Desperately need help.

Garbage pileup, horticulture waste, construction debris, unclean pavement, unpruned grass at E5 park sector 50, Noida. Request @NOIDAAuthority1 @CeoNoida to help get residents and walkers a clean park.

Noida Authority gave new tiles, but old ones are being laid in front of Mahagun Morpheus Sector 50 Block E4—why? RWA directives overriding common sense? This reeks of power misuse and betrayal of public trust. Residents deserve better—not recycled scraps. #Noida

Pavement and tile work in Sector 50 Block E4 has been left dug up for 2+ months. It's causing daily inconvenience and becoming a trash dump. With monsoon around the corner, waterlogging, mosquitoes and dengue are imminent. This must be wrapped up within the coming week.

Road side interlocking tile work incomplete in sector 50, boundary Mahagun Morpheus E4. Tile stock outside E2 park lying untouched. Request @CeoNoida @noida_authority for work completion. Uneven pathway fills with rain water leads to mosquito breeding.

E2 central Park @noida sector 50 garbage piled up, zero cleanliness, open gym in shambles, mosquito breeding, foul smell, zero maintenance, no horticulture maintenance. Request prompt action @noida_authority @CeoNoida

Zillow's house flipping model did not work because of its inability accurately forecast prices. Wild guess: they did not try any form of crowdsourcing and went with a pure algorithmic approach. https://t.co/4j62CmdqG3

Thank you @noida_authority @CeoNoida for taking care of the issue

Road Opposite block E5 park and E4 Mahagun Morpheus Housing society sector 50. This section of road left out while the rest of the road was freshly laid. Request @CeoNoida @noida_authority to please help in getting this rectified. Much obliged.

Garbage dumping area created outside a premium housing society block E4 sec-50 Noida. Request swift action from @noida_authority @ceonoida to get it removed

Don’t confuse science with truth. Science is a systematic method of pursuing the truth. When scientists are wrong, it doesn’t invalidate the method. Science is the most rigorous process of discarding inaccurate ideas and moving toward accurate ideas. Trust the process.

The cost of lithium-ion batteries has fallen by 97% in the last 3 decades. It doesn't look like this rate is slowing down. My latest article: https://t.co/aTRCj3WVYL

yikes

There's no doubt our state and central governments were overconfident, complacent and unscientific in their approach towards COVID19 from December to February, but this second wave is as much on citizens being utterly irresponsible as it is on politicians being politicians.

Roll clouds over Lake Michigan are quite recurrent: this is a spectacular one caught on video by Ken Temple in 2016 [source, full video: https://t.co/ElAoV8YVCu]

I know the #COVID-19 numbers in India are not looking good, but here are my (not so) random thoughts on it

Intelligence isn't a substitute for knowledge. Being smart doesn't mean you've taken the time to be informed. Knowledge isn't a substitute for wisdom. Being informed doesn’t mean you’ve developed good judgment. Good judgment requires the humility to know what you don't know.

Ok, it was 361😊-so exactly @lxrjl upper bound, @jackinlondon was closest with 340 and @jainsa was at 337, next on the podium: @tenthkrige and @Ethulin both gave 320 - congrats! I was close (best guess 368, adjusted to the crowd to 334) but I had an advantage so it doesn't count
