My first Spotlight for The Hindu... A story part of everyday life around me Since 2025, applications like Snabbit and Pronto have entered the domestic work market, and existing players like Urban Company have expanded services to include house help on demand under InstaHelp.
Quick-help apps like Urban Company, Pronto, and Snabbit ensure that house help is just a few screen taps away. This is beginning to upset the ecosystem of support among domestic workers and long-term relationships built with employers. @Such_InkPen also finds the lack of a safety net for workers in Mumbai. thehindu.com/news/cities/mum…

“We don’t have any weekly offs, and lunchtime is decided by our supervisor. This usually varies as per the bookings,” says Shaheen, a 32-year-old woman working for a quick-service company. Every cancellation by her also withholds ₹1,000 from her pay

As a Chinmaya kid, misusing Gurudev this way for political gains, is offensive and insulting his teachings and memory @ChinmayaMission
आस्था और आधुनिक तकनीक का अद्भुत संगम। 🙏 पूज्य गुरुदेव स्वामी चिन्मयानंद जी के होलोबॉट के साथ माननीय प्रधानमंत्री श्री @NarendraModi जी ने आत्मीय संवाद किया। वर्ष 1993 में हुई ऐतिहासिक मुलाकात को स्मरण करते हुए स्वामी जी ने क्या कहा? सुनिए यह विशेष संवाद।

1 million years from now, the Somalian tectonic plate is going to collide with the Indian tectonic plate. That collision will create an equally high mountain range like the Himalaya on the western coast. Imagine being the first Somalian to trek up till Pune, only to see Hinjawadi metro still not inaugurated.

Sad that such an appeal has to be made and not realised by the Modi govt prior to recommending an accused as governor
राष्ट्रपति महोदया, 19 साल की अंकिता भंडारी ने एक VIP के लिए अपनी गरिमा से समझौता करने से इनकार किया, जिसके कारण उसकी हत्या कर दी गई। चार साल बाद भी CBI की धीमी जांच के चलते यह सवाल बना हुआ है कि वो VIP कौन था। अंकिता के परिवार समेत कई लोग मानते हैं कि दुष्यंत गौतम इस मामले से जुड़े हुए हैं। ऐसे में उनकी सिक्किम के राज्यपाल के पद पर नियुक्ति से मैं स्तब्ध हूं। राज्यपाल के पद पर रहते हुए उनके खिलाफ कोई आपराधिक कार्यवाही नहीं हो सकती। दुष्यंत गौतम की नियुक्ति की सलाह देकर प्रधानमंत्री मोदी ने साबित किया है कि महिलाओं की सुरक्षा की उन्हें बिल्कुल परवाह ही नहीं है। मैं आपसे अपील करता हूं कि सरकार को इस नियुक्ति पर पुनर्विचार करने और जांच पूरी होने तक दुष्यंत गौतम को पदभार न देने की सलाह दें। अंकिता के माता-पिता की न्याय की उम्मीद मत टूटने दीजिए।

After this year's Nobel prize, I can't help but think of the India-based Neutrino Observatory which was planned to be built at Theni, Tamil Nadu in the early 2010s but never happened due to opposition from certain politicians and activists, some of whom spread the false rumor that neutrino radiation would be harmful for locals.

Delhi Police does the bulk of it’s recruitment from the outlying areas of NCR. Cops from villages within this area have strong connections to their brethren who are involved in gangs, cow protection etc. These goons are easily called up by the cops when a pro govt mob is needed.

This is the most horrific detention story you will hear today. At 8 PM, this bus stopped at a community centre in Pandwalan Khurd (see photo). Detainees fractured. Four minors present. Everyone barbarically beaten up. No lawyers allowed to enter. This is how we got here. ⬇️
🚨 URGENT LEGAL AID NEEDED 🚨 Lawyers please reach Kapashera PS now if around Protestors from CP picked up; cops seized their phones and deleted all protest videos; They have been detained and BRUTALLY BEATEN UP, totally crushed by the cops in the bus, this INCLUDES MINORS

Delhi Police how do you justify this act? This officer should be booked for sexual assault.
Delhi police finds a new way to remove a female protester - position a male officer behind her - put both the hands in the air - bump her
