This message is for those who are not celebrating Diwali. Who are mourning a loved and have hearts filled with sorrow. There is happiness all around and the world is enjoying the festivities but you are not feeling good at all. Every house in the lane has strings of beautiful lights but there’s darkness in yours. I feel your pain and pray for you. May you get courage to pass this difficult time and happiness comes back to your life soon 🙏

#BREAKING X informs Delhi High Court that takedown notices sent to Internet Freedom Foundation and SFLC were by some impostor and not by Delhi Police. X says complaint has been filed to find the impostor and no action is taken against IFF and SFLC. @Slfc05 @internetfreedom

A simple screen-sharing request could expose your bank accounts, OTPs, passwords and private information to cybercriminals. Scammers often pose as customer care executives or bank officials to gain access to your phone. ⚠️ Never share your screen or install remote-access apps on a stranger’s instructions. Watch our latest cyber safety alert and share it with your family and friends. Stay Aware, Stay Safe! #AkanchaSrivastavaFoundation #CyberSafety #ScreenSharingScam #CyberCrimePrevention #India

I am a huge supporter of Indian startup ecosystem/entrepreneurs. But the way this issue is unfolding has been very demotivating and bizarre. Temple was positioned as a medical device. Doctors/medical practitioners asked for scientific proof, studies. There were none. Then the pivot to fitness tracker etc etc. Deepinder is writing long essays about why people are out to get him and just cos he built Zomato successfully everyone should trust him on everything else he's saying. Zero answer to the scientific questions. I am also watching entrepreneurs, VCs come out in his support. But, he's not being attacked personally!! Questions are being asked about a product that need to be answered. Instead he's unleashed this PR drive which is more damaging. When it comes to health/medical products, one is even more accountable. Infact, questions should be welcome so that product can be improved. But what's happening here is really hard to believe. Whoever is advising Deepinder on PR communications is doing a terrible job.
Deepu: Guys! We made a wearable that can track your brain activity in real time! Just place it on your temple. Doctors: Wow! Damn cool bro. Show us how it works! We are interested! Deepu: Ehhh...why you raging!!?? It's actually a fitness tracker. Doctors: Oh! That's ok. We anyway need one from India! All the ones now are by the West! Go India! How does it stack up to the current cheaper validated wearables though? Deepu:

धनतेरस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं 🙏 ❤️ Don't forget to pray for good health too. It is said that during Samudra Manthan Lord Dhanvantari emerged with a pot of Amrit. As he appeared on the 13th day of Kartik month, we celebrate Dhanteras to honour him and seek his blessings for optimal health 🙏 #Dhanteras #Dhanvantri

Children learn from imitation. He's speaking exactly how his father treats his mother. This is also how disrespect and misogyny is normalised early in families. Fact that the mother is laughing at this behavior is further disturbing. Entire social conditioning needs change.
Such parenting will burn India.

They amputated for a medical reason. But, he deserves the strictest punishment possible for what he did. Fear is the only deterrent for such criminals so that nobody dares such an act again.
They cut off his leg 😭 is it enough?

JUST IN: Fridges and freezers at some supermarkets in Belgium, Luxembourg and Sweden were hacked overnight. Hackers changed the temperature settings to as high as 70°C (158°F), causing food to spoil. The damage is expected to run into the millions.

They look stunning and happy! If you can't be happy for people on their biggest day, you must be really unhappy in your own personal life. Wish people well, bless their joy. Hope they have a great life ahead.

This little child is a fighter. Blessings to her. But what about that psychopath who beat her so brutally! He will be let off soon cos he's a child. That video is so disturbing. What is happening, where is so much anger coming from, what are they watching, what's the environment at home?! So many questions!
The kid is fine. 🥺
