‘बिनशर्त पाठिंबा’ खूप धोकादायक असतो.
माझा एक ‘अजेंडा’ राबवणारं सरकार आहे म्हणून त्याच्या बाकी चुकांना मी पाठीशी घालेन; हा विचार पूर्ण समाजाचा घात करणारा असतो.
सदसदविवेक बुद्धी प्रत्येकाला असते. ती गहाण टाकून सगळं ‘कोसळू’ द्यायचं का हा निर्णय ज्याचा त्याचा.

About two dozen candidates appearing for the Uttar Pradesh BEd Joint Entrance Examination fell into a sewage drain after a dilapidated concrete slab collapsed outside an examination centre in Kanpur on Sunday morning, police said.
The incident occurred near HN Mishra PG College, where candidates had gathered at a nearby photocopy shop to obtain copies of documents required before entering the examination centre.

In 2014, Manu Prakash invented Foldscope, the world’s cheapest microscope, built primarily from a piece of paper. “In science, many people feel that they don’t have a voice, and the Foldscope community is a way that you can use creativity to distinguish yourself — not your status, who you know or where you published your paper.” quantamagazine.org/how-parad…

A man died when a Metro slab collapsed in Mulund. MMRDA promised ZERO tolerance. Heads would roll.
Months later, the consultant it blamed & threatened to fire is still on the project.
The explanation? It was all a "misunderstanding."

Researchers from IISc & collaborators have found that spiny-tailed lizards carefully adjust their diet and nutrient retention across seasons – stockpiling energy-rich carbon before hibernation, boosting protein intake during breeding.

Given all of this, I still cannot fathom why the desperate need for 10 min delivery, why can’t it be up to 30/60 mins?
Unless the order is for urgent meds, I can’t see an iota of logic in this rhetorical argument.
One more thing. Our 10 minute delivery promise is enabled by the density of stores around your homes. It’s not enabled by asking delivery partners to drive fast. Delivery partners don’t even have a timer on their app to indicate what was the original time promised to the customer.
After you place your order on Blinkit, it is picked and packed within 2.5 minutes. And then the rider drives an average of under 2kms in about 8 minutes. That's an average of 15kmph.
I understand why everybody thinks why 10 minutes must be risking lives, because it is indeed hard to imagine the sheer complexity of the system design which enables quick deliveries.
Also, if you've ever wanted to know why millions of Indians voluntarily take up platform work and sometimes even prefer it to regular jobs, JUST ASK any rider partner when you get your next food or grocery order.
You will be humbled by how rational and honest they will be with you.
Having said that, no system is perfect, and we are all for making it better than today. However, it is far from what it is being portrayed on social media by people who don't understand how our system works and why.
If I were outside the system, I would also believe that gig workers are being exploited, but that's not true.
