There is absolutely nothing romantic and beautiful about the rains for the working class. 2 hours from Bandra to Parel, waterlogged streets, leaking buses, wet seats, jammed windows, no cabs, packed trains, missing footpaths, open drains, a broken city at best.

Don't wonder what will happen if Russia collapses. It already did! Years ago. It's not a state, it's a mafia front with factions fighting each other for money, resources, and power.

I cut the deficit by 1.7 trillion dollars in two years – that's more than any president on record.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Washington Post rated this claim "highly misleading" and other fact-checkers have disputed its accuracy.
The $1.7T spending reduction claimed by Biden was the result of pandemic emergency spending that automatically expired, versus action taken by the president.

I think companies should also stop paying their employees. Addiction is because of excessive disposable income. Employees should submit their monthly ration and other requirements with the company and seek approvals post which the company should sanction their requirements.

NO. Same sex marriage is not an ‘urban elitist’ concept. It’s a human need. Maybe some sarkari elites drafted it who have never travelled in small towns & villages. Or Mumbai locals.
First, same sex marriage is not a concept. It’s a need. It’s a right.
And in a progressive, liberal & inclusive civilisation like Bharat, same sex marriage should be normal, not a crime.

Instagram influencer, The FoodPharmer deleted his video, calling out the misleading information on Cadbury's Bounrvita product. Essentially, the product claimed improved brain activity, improved muscles, improved immune system and improved bone health.
All of these require empirical evidence for confirmation.
Cadburys has made a statement that they have designed the product on scientific basis, which means there has to be published studies backing their claims.
Here are the ones I found:
1. A study showed that caffeine content in Bournvita was higher than other similar cocoa based products. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1079…
2. Pregnant women in Nigeria AVOIDED Bournvita due to fear of developing "big babies" and complicated labour/delivery. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6125…
3. Another study showed that Bournvita product changes color due to inherent changes in pH due to its "sugary" content. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
4. The last paper I came across anything remotely to Cadbury's the maker of Bournvita is this one:
"Critics say UNICEF-Cadbury partnership is mere sugarwashing." - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
Basically, the claims of scientific methods or studies and the scientific evidence for everything that is written on the Bournvita product is not backed by good evidence and thus, Cadbury's claims are misleading on muscle and bone growth, immunity enhancement and brain development - there are no controlled studies to show the same.
Considering the high sugar content of 71%, per serve 20g has 14.2g sugar which is approx. 57% of recommended upper daily limit and this will only increase if more milk is added, or additional sugar used over the day. Hence "claim" that using the product as advised is safe is also a misleading one.
Big Food Pharma must come with empirical evidence rather than muscle tactics to prove a point. Herbalife did the same with me when I reported on the death of a young woman after consuming Herbalife products.
The motto of FMCG industry is:
"Protect the business at any cost, call out and persecute the whistleblowers and keep the consumers ignorant all the while throwing them under the bus."

With the Hindenburg report unfolding, my clueless neighbor came upstairs and asked me “what do they mean by crony capitalism?” So, I told him a story of the humble bicycle reflector. Read on to know why. 1/14

Did you know workers have to PAY @urbancompany_UC upwards of Rs 70000 EVERY YEAR in order to keep working for them? A long but important thread. @aigwu_union @cituhq @aiiteu
