Oh man...where to even start? Let me just say this - Banking, UPI etc don't have E2E, sure - but they operate under a completely different security/trust framework with multiple other safeguards in place. They are not peer-to-peer apps, they are regulated financial…

Since this has become rather a long thread, sharing this here: Arattai is trying to be a WhatsApp alternative, not a Twitter one. The nature of convos on both is totally different. Before we push for adoption of Arattai (or any personal messaging app) on a national level, we…

People consider coke zero harmful but are okay drinking normal coke with 35g sugar(per can). Because coke zero contains Aspartame. -Aspartame breaks down to: - Methanol - puts you in a coma - Phenylalanine - which causes brain damage - Aspartic acid - which causes cancer

2 days Thats how long the promise of potholes fix lasted at Channasandra Signal. @dpkBopanna - how about an interview with @DKShivakumar, @GBAChiefComm at the spot, along with BLR East Commissioner

They repaired this section - Channasandra Circle on 27th September. It's 29th September today and the road is gone. What kind of patchwork doesn't last 48hrs? Are your engineers and contractors so much unqualified @GBA_office? You see the water in the video? - it's leaking…

Gentle reminder that Chiropractors are NOT DOCTORS. They have no knowledge about anatomy or physiology. They cannot diagnose or treat any disease competently. This hanging upside down chiropractic is something I had never come across and it's really dangerous. Don't visit these…

No intention of buying a car? Still go to a showroom nearby, get all details, ask about loans financing etc. later when the sales guy follows up, tell them you’re not sure about buying because of e20. If only everyone can do this
