You made this 56 route specially for Kolis. From Versova to Juhu to Khar Danda to Chimbai to Mahim to Worli. Koli women would take these buses before and after work. Today you converted the 56 to an AC route. And you have excluded the same Kolis from using it.

You will abuse this as fake but it is 100 percent what the lone Japanese soldier who fought WW-II in the Indonesian jungles until 1974 would say if he had WhatsApp
*Why don't Japanese people invite Indians to their homes* An Indian who had been living in Japan for more than a year noticed something strange: his Japanese friends were polite and helpful, yet none of them ever invited him to their home, not even for a cup of tea. Confused

An oddity of LLM writing –– it relies both on the em-dash (which expresses complex continuity through sentence length) and the staccato sentence fragments that non-writers like to use for emphasis. Like this. Like a LinkedIn expert. Attention-seeking. Swagless.
Protest this chatgpt-induced shaming of long dashes. Some of us have been using them em dashes way before and love it. Nothing creates better emphasis than a long dash — NOTHING

Even after three years, there’s still no sign of urgency to hold municipal corporation polls in our cities— a silence that’s telling. These polls aren’t just routine elections; but directly impact the everyday lives of citizens in ways national or state elections often do not.
