It's been two weeks since I moved to Delhi leaving home. Today, overheard a group by the tea stall talking in Marathi. In the cold windy evening, it felt warm hearing a familiar language. You may be imperfect, but I miss you, Mumbai. ❤️
Constables patrolling hav no clarity on essential services. Asked 2 civil dressed constables of Oshiwara police after informing I am from press, if timings r fixed for shops, he threatens to book me for violating sec 144.
@MumbaiPolice
plz ensure policemen don't harass civilians.
What do you call a child born to a Hindu mother and a Muslim father? A person born respecting both religions.
I am the result of an inter-faith marriage.
I know such marriages work, they need only one ingredient to thrive - Love. My parents are proof.

Post Sarcasm: SV Road, Jogeshwari west is waterlogged again for at least a kilometre. Only if we had a competent civic body to prevent waterlogging.
We work hard in the middle of a pandemic, not knowing when will we lose our jobs, pay our taxes, just so our money can be used to give a random Bollywood celebrity Y+ security. Such a sham.

A rape accused banged his head bloody on the wall inside a

Even two years after his arrest, the judge had not framed charges for the trial. The court has now accepted his application to frame charges.
Mumbai traffic police have put a stop to maddening rush for hunting autos outside Andheri (w) railway station. Now, wait in a queue to get an auto.

In the last few months, hard-working honest people have lost their jobs despite working their asses off. Why can't he lose his job for NOT doing his one job since last SIX years?

Hey BMC, it's our favourite season when you prove to Mumbai how you've wasted our tax money without actually working for this city. Waterlogging in Oshiwara.

Hey

Our health infrastructure is in tatters, it's a fact. The doctors are still doing their best they can. But there are far too many holes to plug, way too many inequalities on ground. A mega star with mild symptoms got a bed immediately, only because he could afford to.
Now all the police stations in

Yes, there is panic and confusion. This is unprecedented but let's ensure everything goes as normal as it can. Know your rights, follow the rules. If you are facing any issues with local police authorities, my DMs are open.

, The driver of this vehicle (DL 1CAB 5194) was speeding and driving on the wrong side of the road today at 10 am. He almost hit two pedestrians, dangerously speeding past us.

In a domestic violence case, a metropolitan court cited "partriach culture in male dominated Indian society" while coming to the aid of a 27-year-old wife. She was held at gunpoint, abused by belts and racket and even forced to balance pillows and slippers on her back.
Man kills 7 year old step-son, rapes minor step daughter in Mumbra; murder comes to light 15 months later at Bombay high court during a habeas corpus petition. HC pulled up Thane police and crime branch for delayed probe.
I have never slept hungry so there is no world hunger. I don't sweat a lot, so there is no global warming. I have not been killed, how can there be murders. I live in my own wonderland.
All I have experienced is unlimited hospitality, warmth and genuine love. No one has tried to molest or abuse. Yes, there has been staring and occasional cases of cheating and overcharging but then I have had my wallet stolen in Madrid, and I have been groped in a Paris tube.

A story that could have been a Bollywood thriller. A businessman's missing daughter-in-law found to have eloped with their family driver. Stole ₹4.5 lakh from mother-in-law’s account two days before the latter died of a heart attack.
Girls also don't feel safe in dark noisy pubs when men there grope. Men feel emboldened during Holi too to catcall while getting high and molest under the guise of bura na mano holi hai. Creepy men are the problem. Not girls or the places they are at.
The positive effect of lockdown is Mondays don't feel like Mondays.
The negative effect of lockdown is everyday feels like a Monday. The new normal. 🤦🏽♂️

Told uncle not to spit at railway station and he goes on to vomit. In 15 seconds, learnt that
- he employs more "VIPs" than me
- he has five engineers working under him
- he earns more in a day than I do in a month
- and I should not be out in public if it bothers me so much.
Realty broker moves high court against Thane police officers including Pradeep Sharma. The petition claims Sharma and another officer ordered him to pay Rs 1.5 crore to cricket bookies.
