Looking for a furnished 1 BHK for #rent in #Gurgaon - Preferably near Sushant Lok Budget is 20-30K - Should be safe and accessible Open to sharing a spacious flat too. Should be a pet-friendly accommodation though (I have a cat. No, she does not bite) #Twitter, do your thing?

I love this photo of Terry and Neil because Terry looks like Indiana Jones and Neil looks like the punk kid that tagged along on one of his adventures. @neilhimself @terryandrob

Please understand, no one latches themselves to a plane knowing they will fall to their deaths unless the sky is safer than the land.

Urgent help needed. A friend in Calcutta urgently needs medicine for her pup, who is very ill. If you know anyone flying to Calcutta from Bangalore in the next 24-36 hours, please get in touch, and I'll connect you to my friend. @TaruniKumar @zeusisdead @reeti any leads?

Please help me to get any work. It's so hard to survive due to lockdown. Since lockdown, I have not been able to even get any labour work in the unorganised sector. Merely sustenance seems too hard in this time. I'm ready to work as daily wage labour also. Please amplify 🙏

Young @Tejasvi_Surya is smart in Hate Speech, passionate in Propaganda & talented in Dividing people. When India needs to fight COVID unitedly, his focus is on dividing Indians. He is as bigoted as they come. Let's not normalise Fascists.

A part of the problem with Delhi is that it has always relied on "making a phonecall" to get anything done, the elite proud of how quickly they could do so. Building systems minus calls was not a priority & no-one expected everyone to make calls for the same thing simultaneously.
