Most of the rest of India with their nicer and faster trains don't really understand what we go through in Keralam. This is the condition of most of our MEMU trains.
Discarded EMU rakes that reached end of life after running for 20 years on the Chennai Suburban network. Southern Railway promptly shunts all the oldest coaches in the zone to run in Keralam. This particular rake was built in 2002 and is now 24 years old!
What I can't capture here is the smell - That musty stink of decades of wet, rusting steel mixed with god knows what else. This train would've been considered a toxic health hazard in any other country. Okay - we don't have many industries but we are human too and deserve to travel in a minimum level of dignity. @gmsrailway @railminindia @vdsatheesan @AshwiniVaishnaw

Feeling quite pissed off..
The tab I bought a day ago from the lenovo e-store is available today on the leading ecom platform at a 30% lesser price.
Lenovo sales support figuratively called me a sucker for falling for their ad..
Well, so much for the trust..

The lady in Tom and Jerry who is always partially seen is named 'Mammy Two Shoes'.
This scene from the short 'Saturday Evening Puss' is the only time her face is shown.
Hello @Paytmcare , My Paytm wallet with about 5k balance has disappeared from the app.
Noticed this when I tried to pay at a restaurant yesterday. And, the chat bot at your app's customer care is not allowing me to file a ticket for this..

India's obsession with SUVs is something I'll never understand. I've been a car enthusiast forever. A lower center of gravity and reduced body roll mean supreme comfort.
People rave about Innovas and Fortuners, but frankly, they're the most uncomfortable vehicles I've been in. Your body bobs from side to side, making you feel much more tired than if you were traveling in a sedan of a similar price range.
Fuel efficiency is better in sedans.
Sudden turns and the turning radius are much better in sedans.
Driving or being driven in a sedan is far superior compared to an SUV or micro SUV. It's not as if we are off-roading or traversing the jungles of Nagarhole daily. In fact, your Seltos, Creta, or whatever else, actually can't even handle 4x4 terrain.
The only explanation here is that Indians, being generally shorter, just feel good driving something bigger to compensate for their lack of height. It's a self-confidence thing and not much of an automobile thing.
This SUV mania has driven sedans out of the market, which is pretty sad because those are actually built for comfortable drives on uncomfortable Indian roads. How can the entire country collectively disregard logic over an expensive purchase that often ends up with a 9-10% loan?

Per your suggestion, the new order I placed @Flipkart was delivered at my doorstep within 48hrs. @amazonIN, many thanks for the recommendation, you are indeed 'Earth's most customer centric company'.

We're sorry for the inconvenience with the order delivery. Please be advised, once an order has been marked as returning or cancelled, we won't be able to reinstate it. Request you to place a new order. (1/2) -Jayashree
Latest status - "Returning to seller", after two days of drama, the delivery partner "decided" that the item is damaged and it should be sent back to the seller. I hope they have advanced xray machines to know whether the package is in tact or not.
Of late, bulky items - the ones that cannot be delivered on a two wheeler - the delivery agents give a missed call and then the status changes to "delivery attempted". Repeat until either the frustrated customer cancels the order or it is auto returned back to @amazonIN .

I appreciate @amazonIN for equipping their delivery partners with advanced tech to figure out whether an electronic item is damaged or not without opening the box.
