My cab driver in Kolkata turned up slightly late. Apparently, somebody threw his 70 year old neighbour into the Hooghly. She was rescued by a boatman. He is particularly flummoxed because she owns multiple flats, a shop, etc. Who could do this to such an enterprising woman?!?

The problem in engaging with #peakbengaluru is that now my timeline is full of "product designers" either complaining or romanticising the city's weather in Hindi. #diepiggydiediedie

Schools in Kerala will now teach children how to identify Fake News. In a bid to put an end to the menace of fake news, 20 lakh school students of Class V to X across Kerala will be taught basic skills to prevent the spread of fake news through social media. A good move. 👏🏼

There have to be 60 buses for every 100,000 people. No city in India—except Bengaluru—meets this norm. @KhandekarOmkar’s story here: themorningcontext.com/chaos/india-is… Graphics by @arkgrafix

In Chochi and the autorickshaw driver refused to take money because drop was on the way to his home. What is this place?


If this were Juhu, you could have asked for a bhel. But in the land of the #EggWaterDosa, this cart offers a menu limited to snacks made of clams, crabs, quail, mussels and the very exotic cauliflower.
