Dussehra ride to Mulund, and a loop of Airoli before returning home Mulund Riders host Mumbai cyclists with traditional fafda jalebi breakfast every Dussehra. This year spotted less cyclists than usual. The weather is pleasant, but air is dusty 41 km ride today #mumbaicycling

Just look at the crazy queue at the Kajol/Rani Mukherjee #DurgaPuja pandal this year And this is at 2355 on Saptami! We prayed to Maa from outside, grabbed some food 😊 and left. Though to be fair, the decor everywhere, even at the food court, was top notch

Why am I getting so many Insta ads about watching the #SingaporeGP live at some venue in Mumbai? Objectively it is one of the most boring #F1 races in the calendar, just behind Monaco GP - with zero overtaking Would gladly watch MexicoGP or BrazilGP instead

Rukmini (Koel) Mallick was Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP from West Bengal She quit from Trinamool and Rajya Sabha and joined BJP who nominated her to Rajya Sabha again How is this legal? How is one party openly getting MPs to defect from other parties, without why penalty?

Hanuman Ansh seems to be doing really pulling in audiences at the theatres On a Tuesday night at 2330, the neighbouring multiplex was crowded with mostly families, who had come to watch #HanumanAnsh

*spoilers ahead #HeartoftheBeast just did not work for me. The Alaskan scenery is wonderful and chemistry between Brad Pitt and the dog is just amazing But as a survival movie it fails! Despite repeatedly being submerged in cold water, hypothermia isn't an issue. (1/2)

Neither do his supplies run out, nor do his maps get wet, despite multiple river crossings over days Bleeding to death from wolf bites, with hand broken and body bruised from multiple falls, a man writes a fully lucid letter and attaches his (fully dry) bank docs too! (2/2)

*spoilers ahead With the Jamui molestation and Delhi g*ngrape case blowing up headlines across the country, #Daayra, a fictionalized account of the gruesome Hyderabad g*ngrape/murder and subsequent police encounter of 2019, should have been red hot at the box office (1/n)

The movie is more a police procedural about how the culprits in the case are apprehended, and then executed, led by an immaculate Prithviraj Sukumaran Kareena Kapoor is the supposed foil to the encounter cop, but absolutely fails to make a point as a vigilance officer. (3/n)

Kareena's DCP Ajooni is full of scorn about the false encounter story, but doesnt manage to raise any serious red flag about the incident And here she is let down by Meghana's weak writing. Kudos to the references to her previous movies Talvar and Chhapaak though 👏 (4/4)

Anyone else feel Licious prices are getting really high? ₹418 for 1 lb/450g of chicken breast??? I have been buying meat from Licious regularly, but did not realize prices have crept up this high! Even classic eggs are priced at 164/dozen!

Shout out to @nishantshekhar1 for the wonderful podcast Stories with Shekhar Talks about the making and behind-the-scenes of famous Bollywood movies. The way he humanizes larger-than-life stars, without being critical, is one of the reasons I love it youtube.com/@storiesbyshekha…

Every once in a while Swiggy will leave you exasperated 🤦 Most orders are delivered in reasonable time. No complaints Today, I placed a grocery order and sort of forgot about it. 1.5 hours later I remembered about it and reached out to customer care, asking to cancel it (1/2)

Customer care goes You don't have to cancel the order, we will assign another delivery agent to your order! Unmm, no, thanks! Doesn't Swiggy have a dashboard of some kind tracking orders delayed more than 1 hr? Instead of waiting for customer to get annoyed at them? (2/2)
