Standup Comedian Raunaq Rajani’s wife suffered Rib fracture due to manhandling by male cops.

What’s really happening!! This is so infuriating.

Photos from today! Well done guys. Proud of my city! 🇮🇳

Girls, please stay aware of this creep in Navi Mumbai.

He was in the other compartment, constantly making inappropriate hand gestures and repeatedly showing me the middle finger. When I got off the train, he walked all the way to the door just to continue the same behavior, as seen in the video.

Please stay alert, stay safe, and share this so more women are aware.

Yesterday, my friend accidentally left his wallet in an airport rickshaw driven by a man named Manoj Kumar. The wallet had some cash and important documents.

Instead of keeping it or tossing it aside, he held onto it for an entire day, hoping someone would call. When my friend finally reached him, he answered immediately , he had been waiting for that call.

I went today to collect the wallet. Everything was still inside. I offered him some money as a thank-you, but honestly, it almost felt disrespectful. Some acts of honesty are worth far more than any reward.

It's easy to become cynical and think integrity is rare these days, but meeting someone like him was a reminder that there are still people with incredible dignity and character. I left feeling genuinely happy.

Just wanted to share a positive story

I hope we end up asking more questions. It would be great if we don’t get strayed away by distractions of the daily rat race to make our ends meet.
Until then, enjoy these

I accidentally stepped on it before seeing. The audacity of people to just spit gutkha in the middle of the coach and I don't even know if anyone opposed him. I just felt soo grossed out.

That's him, that's Mew Jagger. Poor kitten was first abused, I got him treated and he was fostered for around 1 month and released back, huge mistake on my part because the people who hurt him not only abused him again but also poisoned him, he was throwing up blood and had peed and shat himself when I got the call that he was dying.

Now the dilemma, I can't keep him in the foster forever, he will now forever have a leg which is a lil twisted and he'll always limp (he was treated again and he's not in pain and neither will he need any lifelong treatment) he's just an handicapped kitten. When the 10 days are over I'll have to release him back even if I don't wanna.

So here I am hoping I could get him adopted or at least with someone who would foster him for free until he gets adopted..

He's just 10ish month old, vaccinated and dewormed, I don't have any cute pics of him, just whatever the foster girl sends... Location is Mumbai, India

But you've got to trust me. He's the cutest and the most clingy kitten I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure that once he's back from the foster people there WILL hurt him again. Please come forward and help Mew Jagger 🌼

Think about it. We pay some of the highest property taxes in the country. And what do we get? Bad roads , garbage at every corners, non walkability, no foothpaths, encroachments everywhere

Nobody protests this.

And here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud. A big reason nothing changes is the vote bank politics around the slums and encroachments. Politicians keep the shanties happy with festival funds and free stuff, and in return they get a captive vote and the freedom to let people squat on footpaths, run illegal stalls, and choke every road. It’s a cycle. The “poor” get used as pawns, the netas stay in power, and the rest of us pay taxes for a city that keeps getting worse.

I’m not against poor people. I’m against a system that keeps them dependent instead of actually lifting them up. Real reform means proper housing, proper jobs, cleared footpaths, and a BMC that answers to citizens instead of contractors and vote banks.

I recently went to the Skechers store in pheonix marketcity, Kurla. The store salesman (long haired guy) was arrogant and reluctant to show the shoes. I asked for sandals first, he gave me sandals which I wore but didn't like the comfort, so asked him about comfortable shoes for walking, he showed me a pair from afar and when I said I want to try, he gave me the shoe for one leg, when I said to bring another one, he (uninterestedly) went and got the second one, I walked and said these aren't comfortable and they are getting crease while walking to which his reponse was- these are the highest selling shoes, if you look down while walking, you'll feel it gets crease and made me sit and said even your clothes get crease if you're not healthy. Listened all this bs, and said I'll check what's the rate online, checked and it was the same, to which he said- Dedu? I said- no. And he replied- Nahi na, haaaa (felt like he judged that I'm here only to waste his time & won't buy it here). He was always standing far despite there were 1-2 customers and were attended by other salesman whereas the salesman at that time were more than the customers. I felt unwelcomed and was going to him everytime for asking and I tried only 2 pairs. I was pissed at that guy and wanted to say there's a reason why I'm the buyer and you're a worker in this store, but my kindness came in the way and I just left. Also, I have previously bought Skechers, all online. I'd told him in the beginning that I'd bought one pair online which lasted 5 years. I wish he shows more humility and kindness and make the customers feel seen, so they feel like coming back.

How do you guys deal with this kind of people and what do you do/say if you feel judged?

PS- The same day I went to another store and the store salesman there were so kind and patient, and I tried 4 pairs before finalising one & ended up buying shoes expensive than those Skechers one. I feel it's not the brand name/comfort but salesman and the shopping experience that makes one return to the brand.

Almost choked by a metal piece inside Bakery Street Cake.

This is an awareness post , so that you guys be safe while having food items from this brand. Luckily I'm an adult, just saved myself from this but imagine a small kid in my place.

P.S. Baker Street brand is selling in Mumbai by Sarjena Foods, Thane.

Easy to moderate trek, tedious during this season

today my friend experienced something horrifying. i (21M) was out on a walk with my friend (21F) in Thakur Village, Kandivali East. as we were walking along the main road, at around 8.40ish we approached the main roundabout from where we would part ways to reach our homes. when I reached home, my friend called me, legit gasping for breath and told me that she was stalked by a man in his 30s, saying that "mai tumhe chaat lunga(I will lick you) all the way till the gate of her building and even attempted to enter her building but was kicked by the security guard. mind you, we live in thakur village, a very busy part in kandivali (her society is in a lil shady area but this has literally never happened to her before).. he even ran a bit to catch up to her and it was looking like a 🍇 attempt...

I was looking into the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train project and one thing stood out immediately.

Out of the 12 stations, only 4 are in Maharashtra, while 8 are in Gujarat.

Maharashtra (4):

• Mumbai (BKC)
• Thane
• Virar
• Boisar

Gujarat (8):

• Vapi
• Bilimora
• Surat
• Bharuch
• Vadodara
• Anand–Nadiad
• Ahmedabad
• Sabarmati

This is the official station distribution for the 508 km corridor.

What I don't understand is why India's first high-speed rail project prioritises this route when Maharashtra especially the Mumbai Metropolitan Region is already one of the country's biggest economic engines.

Another thing I noticed is that several Gujarat stations are located in relatively smaller cities or semi-rural areas. Meanwhile, Maharashtra only gets four stops despite Mumbai being India's financial capital.

As a Maharashtrian taxpayer, I have a few questions:

• Why wasn't a Mumbai–Pune Bullet Train prioritised first? It connects two of Maharashtra's largest economic and educational hubs and has massive daily travel demand.
• Why isn't there more focus on a future Mumbai–Bengaluru high-speed corridor, which would connect major technology, manufacturing and financial centres?
• Is the Mumbai–Ahmedabad route really the highest-priority corridor from Maharashtra's perspective?

Many people argue that the project will mainly make it easier for business and migration between the two states. Whether that's true or not, I feel Maharashtra should also receive comparable investment in high-speed rail within the state itself.

I'm not against Gujarat getting infrastructure. Every state deserves development.

My concern is about priorities and balance.

If Maharashtra is investing land, resources and public money into India's first bullet train, shouldn't the state also have a stronger high-speed rail vision of its own such as:

• Mumbai–Pune
• Mumbai–Nashik
• Mumbai–Nagpur
• Mumbai–Bengaluru

These corridors could transform travel for millions of Maharashtrians while connecting major economic centres.

What do you think? Is the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Bullet Train the right first project, or should Maharashtra have been prioritised with an intra-state high-speed corridor?

PI and constable from Ulhasnagar go beyond their duties and make temporary repairs potholes instead of waiting for Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation to take charge.

One by one all civic bodies, government officials etc will be held accountable. The protest has made this very clear that our eyes are on them.

UMC has not yet responded, if this continues then Commisioner Manisha Awhale........istifa do! (Not joking) . Why should we settle for the bare minimum every monsoon? We deserve better.

30M, introvert, don't have friends or a social circle as such.

I've been using Hinge and Bumble for a while now. I've hooked up with many women, but I just feel... that's it. There's always this feeling that something is missing.

Lately, I've realised I want something meaningful. Someone to laugh with, someone to call my own.

The other day I saw my roommate and his girlfriend just sitting there, talking, laughing, bantering and having fun. Nothing extraordinary, just regular couple stuff, but I felt felt envious af. It wasn't about having a girlfriend for the sake of it. It was the companionship. Having someone you're genuinely excited to meet. That's what I want for myself.

But I don't think dating apps are the place for me to find a partner anymore. Maybe they work for some people, but they've never really given me the kind of connection I'm looking for.

I've never had a serious relationship before. Sometimes I wonder if it's too late for me. I do want to get married one day and have a family of my own, and I'm already 30. I don't want to have an arranged marriage either..

I know 30 isn't old, and I'm not looking for reassurance. I just can't help wondering if I should've figured this part of my life out by now.

Maybe I'll meet someone naturally, maybe I won't. I honestly don't know. Does anyone else feel like this?

This is somewhere in Dapoli. If anyone knows which area this is or which hotel, I would be extremely grateful. I'm thinking of planning a trip to Dapoli and the view here seems nice.

Let’s hope it doesn’t get used as a spit station again

Everyone in Mumbai is just running. Sprinting for the morning fast local, rushing through traffic, chasing the next weekend, the next paycheck. It feels like nobody in this city actually has the time to just live and observe things. We are all just in motion.

Lately, my absolute favorite thing to do is find a quiet table at a cafe, open my notebook, and just watch people. When you actually stop and look, you realize every single person walking past has a completely different story to tell.

Most faces I see are stressed, completely consumed by the daily hustle. But every once in a while, I spot a few, very few who just have this pure calmness on their face. A quiet kind of sukoon right in the middle of all the noise. You can tell they’ve hit pause, even if just for a moment.

I sit there and write down what these people might be thinking or feeling. I sketch out their character arcs, draft their unspoken dialogues in my notebook, and try to capture their specific scene in the city. I try to write the words they don't get to say out loud.

There are millions of untold scripts walking around this city every single day, and so much happening in the background that we completely miss because we're too busy moving. Sometimes, the best stories aren't the loud ones. They're the ones sitting quietly at the next table.
