Another fatal luxury car crash that killed a scooterist in Kerala by a 17 year old, son of District Judge ⚠️
Victim's Niece was told,
"Don't teach me law, you have no rights to question me" - Minor's father(additional district judge)
"Don't overreact and get emotionally driven, he is just a 17 year old kid" - Kerala Police
The accident occurred at around 2:20 AM to 3:00 AM at Cheranalloor in Kochi. A speeding luxury Mercedes-Benz car, registered under the name of the additional judge, rammed into a scooter from behind. The scooter rider, 55-year-old Jayabalakrishnan of Manjali, was killed. He was a local street vendor returning home after closing his wayside eatery (thattukada) near a temple in Chittoor.
The 17-year-old minor, who does not possess a driving license, reportedly took the car out for a night drive. He was speeding at 100km/hr while the crash occured as per reports. The victim's niece JAYALAKSHMI claims that the accused was not shown to them at the police station and Kerala police insisted them to not get emotionally driven by this incident as if this isn't a big loss at all. The father of the 17 year old accused who is a district court judge spoke rudely at the police station asking them not to teach him law as per Jayalakshmi's claim.
The central issue is the loss of a human life. Jayabalakrishnan's family has suffered an irreversible loss, and the circumstances surrounding his death must be investigated thoroughly. The victim and his family deserve justice, while the investigation and any subsequent legal proceedings must establish responsibility on the basis of evidence rather than influence, status or public speculation.

And even some of my former Comrades from the Forces whose ❣️ bleed for the mobs addressing them as 'helpless, unarmed, peaceful while terming the Delhi Police Personnel , despite the remarkable restraint displayed in the face of extreme provocation as Rogues & Hooligans!
Shame!
Female “Protester” is provoking an ACP rank official, touching him inappropriately. If he reacts even once, @BBC will get its leading story.
Salute to Delhi Police for handling such cases. They are goons not protesters.

If police ever pick up someone from your family, they are legally bound to do 5 things. Most families don't know even one.
1) Tell the family or a friend about the arrest.
2) Make an arrest memo signed by a witness.
3) Wear a clear name tag.
4) Get a medical check done every 48 hours.
5) Let the person meet a lawyer during questioning.
An officer who skips these can face contempt of court.
All this came from one letter. In 1986 D K Basu, who ran Legal Aid Services in West Bengal, wrote to the Chief Justice about people dying in police custody. The Supreme Court made it law in 1996.
Save this. You never know when you need it.

Next time a restaurant adds service charge to your bill, you can ask them to remove it.
It is not mandatory. The Delhi High Court said this in March 2025. Restaurants cannot force you to pay it or add it by default. If you want to tip, that's your choice.
If they still refuse, call the National Consumer Helpline on 1915 or complain on the e Daakhil portal.
This year the consumer authority took action against 41 restaurants for adding it by default. Chaayos was told to refund a customer and pay a 50,000 rupee penalty.

So much to learn from this Israeli media girl about the character of journalism. Precise words, genuine praise, detailed information, gratitude straight from heart and absolute calm voice.
This video should be included in the curriculum of every college of Journalism.

No offence, please. But I find your understanding of a born Christian incorrect.
AFAIK,
Theoretically, no one is born as a Christian.
Baptism (even credo/paedo) is a mandatory sacrament to bring someone into the fold of the Church. That's true for Protestants as well.

Perhaps, a bit uncharitable of me. But I can't resist the barb.
Although this quote was published in a chapter on Ground Defence in the IAF Doctrine 2000, it has taken quite the while for IAF's fighter pilot leadership to look outside their cockpits.

This is me. This is my TV.
Month 22 of a 36 month warranty. No dent, no crack. Sony wrote "external damage" and never showed a test.
Two months later Sony has still not contacted me. Not one call, not one email. Just a legal notice.
The notice and my reply: sonybravia.com/legal-notice/

That is my TV, and this is exactly what @sony_india want me to stop saying.
From their legal notice, para 8, word for word:
"you have also published defamatory statement(s) such as "Never buy a Sony BRAVIA" and "Sony sold us a warranty. Then refused it" on your X account. The said statements are false, misleading, derogatory, and defamatory on the face of it"
One customer's advice after a refused warranty. "Defamatory on the face of it."
@Sony I say once again proudly #DoNotBuySorryBravia

A guy in India bought a Sony Bravia TV. It developed green lines under warranty. Sony's service team called it "external damage" and refused replacement.
So he registered SonyBravia.com and posted the entire saga — emails, service records, photos.
Sony's response? A 6-page legal notice demanding he delete everything, apologize in 7 days, or face a ₹5 crore civil + criminal claim.
Indian Gen Z really isn't sparing billion-dollar brands. 😭

IFYKYK - Zangbo and Zing Zing Bar would be very unhappy with this moron!

Tibetans eat Tsampa - ground roasted barley. Sattu is ground roasted Bengal gram.
Both have uses specific to their ethnic regions. Energy vs cooling/digestion. Complex Carbs vs Hi Protein.

@RailwaySeva I am a senior citizen, regular traveller on the route NJP-GHY-NJP and mostly travel 2A by 15675/15676. I have complained almost every time about the leaking taps, non-availability of water and broken latches/toilet doors yet the problem remains. My PNR 6948417374, DOJ: 23/08/26; 2A/A1/31. No water in toilets. A2 is worse, toilet doors broken.

All very nice.
But why is she wearing an IAF pilot's wing? And I can see a few medals as well.
No fault of the young Air Wing cdt, but surely her ANO and the CO of the Air Wing NCC unit should know better. Wearing unauthorised accouterments and medals is grossly wrong.

Because that's where the money is.

Round of applause for the bootlicking journo protecting those filthy-mouthed creatures who publicly abused the prime minister's late mother and a foreign female PM with the most repulsive, venomous garbage imaginable on live camera.

Calling the President dumb as a metaphor isn't ilegal or even abuse (Gungi is different from what dumb can mean) .
But in very poor taste.
'All about Kavya' knows Nothing.
Of the duties and powers of the President's Office
or
about propriety and dignified behavior.
I'd ignore.
