India, not just Goa, has lost one of her most devoted sons. Rest in a peace Sir. Your service to the nation & the state of Goa will always be remembered. I hope that they name the new airport in #Goa after him. What say GMR?

This is a photo of all the remaining living astronauts who went to the moon. Guess it’s very clear what mankind has been up to in the last 47 years since the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.

Middle age is the age when you get irritated at a young guy calling you uncle because that means he thinks you're old, and also when he calls you by name because that means he's not giving you the respect that your age deserves

Hey Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters, Ur coffee is great, but pls do something abt ur packaging. By the time swiggy delivers it, the coffee is lukewarm. And opening it makes a complete mess! Suggest u learn from Starbucks India. They do a much better job.

“Bridge Over Troubled Water” was released on this date in 1970. Paul Simon once explained how he wrote it for Garfunkel, how Garfunkel wasn’t impressed by it — but sang it to standing ovations, anyway. “This is how partnerships break up.” (via BBC Archive)

As per Swiggy Cares, even if the pic they put up shows 6 pieces.. U shouldnt expect to receive that many. It’s only for ‘reference’, whatever that means. A new level of lying to customers! Am switching my orders to zomato

"Cat's in the Cradle" by Harry Chapin is a song which every parent must listen with his/her child, and vice versa. It was released in 1974, but is truer than ever today. Those who know about it would understand my sentiment. Those who don't, must give it a listen :)

Let's all (virtually) pinkie swear that from now on, we'll never leave another job interview without asking the potential employer: "How did you support your employees/contractors during the global pandemic and who can I follow up with to confirm?"

A useful rule of thumb to tell if a so-called expert is worth listening to is whether they ever publicly admit to being wrong about anything. If someone can fit any new piece of evidence into their entrenched worldview, the only thing they’re an expert at is rationalizing.
