Oh Spiti, you truly are surreal!
Mt. Kanamo(5946m), I couldn't summit you, but you had me at 5000m. #nofilter
Excited to speak about how we are equipping cities with better data to proactively manage road infrastructure and also inform planning and development.
🛣️ Join @Trafficure's live working session July 10 on turning Google Maps Roads Management Insights (RMI) data into ranked junctions, root causes, and measurable decongestion.
Our team's @rbhaskaran will introduce RMI and its uses, followed by a live demo from Trafficure and Pune's results from city police.

ALT Historical traffic analysis interface for a route in Paris, featuring a map with colored lines and a summary popup showing an average delay of 156 seconds (223%) over a free-flow time of 1 minute 10 seconds. A side panel displays a line graph of average delay in seconds plotted against time of day from 1 PM to 5 PM, illustrating a dip at 3 PM between peak delay times.
Hi @airindia unable to check in and book paid seats, unable to upgrade online and your customer care can't even do it. What's going on?
Hey @LGIndia your customer support is unreachable. Looks like WhatsApp, Chat, Web form and phone are all just there to block and frustrate customers?

Have a break but don’t have a KitKat because
I compared a KitKat sold in Australia with one sold in India, and the numbers are sadly not surprising.
The Australian version contains:
-Milk solids – 20%
-Cocoa – 22%
-Added sugar – 21.7g
The Indian version contains:
-Milk solids – 16.1%
-Cocoa – 4.5%
-Added sugar – 28.9g
Indians are getting a significantly inferior version compared to Kit-Kat abroad. This is not just limited to the Kit-Kat but most packaged food items like Cerelac, Lays etc.
This is because of 3 reasons.
1.India is a price-sensitive country, and as a result companies put low quality ingredients. But costing alone doesn’t explain the full picture.
2.Our regulations are weak and they don’t prevent companies from giving us inferior products.
3.We as consumers do not question what we’re being served. That is exactly why I started Label Padhega India. Because unless we read and ask, nothing changes.
Companies rarely change because they feel guilty. Companies change if consumers unite and ask for it.
So it’s our responsibility, together, to speak up and make sure our voices are heard.
Let’s Make India Healthy Again.

How much time it took to cover 16.5 km on NH48 on Monday ?
@TrafficGGM along with @leptonsoftware and @GoogleIndia used the RMI platform to identify the duration of congestion. At 1:33 PM rainfall started.
Peak congestion was reported at 7 PM when the time needed to complete 16.5 km was 3h 35m. The situation started easing after that and there was no red strech after 11 PM. We are conducting a detailed analysis to use the data for policy suggestions. @Suhelseth @ndtv @leenadhankhar
The West must reflect
#WATCH | London, UK: Jonathan Spyer, Director of Research at the Middle East Forum, says, "It is unfortunate regarding western coverage that when terrorist organizations, including Islamist organizations, target western targets and western civilians, then there's no shyness about describing them as terrorists, but when they're targeting non-western populations then the desire for so-called objectivity and neutrality and seeing the views of both sides suddenly comes onto the agenda. I think it's very mistaken. Not only is it incorrect, but it's also not good reporting because the fact of the matter is that the reason for the current escalation is because of Pakistan's support and sponsorship of Islamic terror organisations..."

The smoke storm will pass, winter will end. And we will forget about the air pollution crisis till the next November.
Can we try something different this year?
Here is my attempt to put together a draft Clean Air Plan. Please share, amend and refine this thread.
And let's keep up the pressure all year round till something like this is implemented. (1/13)
Can't agree more.
The sheer apathy from the average, even well-educated person about the severity of this problem is shocking. Even today I was the only one wearing an N95 amongst 5 office-goers.
Chalta hai?
At 500+ AQI, my kids seemed like the only ones wearing masks to school, and a parent asks me - everything OK with your son? Well, everything is not OK with the air these kids are breathing. And then I notice 50+ elderly people in my society on their morning walk. Why is there no public health awareness campaign around this yet ? All you need to do is talk to some lung doctors to understand the looming health crisis. One middle aged uncle shrugs it off saying “Ab to hamein immunity hai ji”. 🤦🏻♂️
Another piece of example of how the local govt is dysfunctional and with no intent to solve the pollution nightmare. Roads dug up for months in the center Gurgaon (near Galleria). GRAP 4 is a joke. Absolutely apathy. @TOIGurgaon @DC_Gurugram @hindustantimesgur

You got to give it to the Aussies/Media/Commentators on how wholeheartedly they appreciated this WI win. Sportsmanship. The world should learn!
