Even Wisden in their report for the Australian tour of India in 1979/80 were aware that the Indian spin quartet was actually just a trio.

India's founding fathers made a mistake by making it a secular country. They should have made it a strictly atheist country instead. No religion is protected and no public display of religion allowed.

Is @metrorailpune the only metro in the world that disallows lighters on board? Wonder what their ridiculous reasoning behind this one is? Anyway I guess that means I will not be using the metro any more.

Amusingly toward the end of the 19th century there were two cricketers named John Thomas Brown who played for Yorkshire. One, who went by Jack (and also played for England), was born in Driffield and the other, who went by John, was born 5 years later in Darfield.

This is your periodic reminder that music beyond a certain decibel level in public is terrorism.

Religion may be the opiate of the masses but it is definitely the cyanide of society.

Doubt the creators of the NYT Crossword app/site have ever played a crossword themselves. Why else would they think it's easier to have to type in the missing letters rather than the whole word?

Not to mention a lot of tourist locations in India charge foreign nationals anything from 20x to 50x the admission price for Indians.

With all due respect, you are completely wrong on this. To seriously attract tourists, we need to do a lot more than blow the trumpet of being an 8000 year old culture. 1. We have horrendous public infrastructure, and yet massively overpriced domestic flights & hotels. 2. Law…

Airports make no sense. You can literally walk out with anyone's baggage from the carousel. How hard is it to implement a QR code system to match with your boarding pass.

You might think you're a calm person but have you ever completed a run only to find out that Strava hasn't measured anything because there was no GPS signal?

Arguing that dogs should remain on the streets often ignores who suffers most from dog attacks- children, the elderly, sanitation workers and the urban poor. Not the elites living in gated communities. (1/n)

Oh great, it's that time of the year again where people decide to become a public nuisance by erecting structures in the middle of the street, beating drums and playing loud music.
