Fresh Apple 🍎 & thermal shock
Anggy customer: You have sent us wax coated apples! Horrible 🤬 shame on you, fraud, scam, I can't trust anyone in this world, jaagograhak bachao...
Reality:
These apples were harvested in Kinnaur - where night temperature last week during harvest was +1-2C. They arrived at our warehouse where night temperature is +5-7C
Then they travelled to Hyderabad - via Dehradun & Delhi.
Peak thermal shock would have been almost +35C. So a delta of +20C that goes right into the apple till the core.
What does an apple do? It protects itself. It's still alive because it has been freshly harvested.
The skin of an apple starts secreting natural wax - called Bloom. Due to the apples being bumped around and friction of the paper trays, the fresh bloom gets scraped as it's generated. Then the apple generates more bloom.
Read and educate yourselves about Bloom here: tonsvalley.shop/2024/05/03/n…
What to do with these apples?
Just rinse in cool water and wipe with a soft cloth. Put in the fridge so that the apples cool down.

Meet Mr. Uday Kumar, a BJP member, who along with his family has been residing and voting in Bengaluru for years. Recently, he travelled to his native village in Nawada to cast his vote in Bihar as well. Uday Kumar and his wife had already voted in Bangalore North, and now he also voted in Nawada, Bihar. The family holds two EPIC IDs, one from Karnataka and another from Bihar. ( No proof of family voting in two states though)
Hello @DMNawada @DC_blrurban @ceo_karnataka @ECISVEEP @SpokespersonECI is a person allowed to vote in two different states holding two different EPIC ids?

Instagram removes the reel posted on LiveLaw's official page about the ECI's affidavit in the #SupremeCourt.
The reel, which was only an explanation of the ECI's version, was removed by Instagram saying, "We received a legal request to restrict this content".
There is no explanation how the reel (instagram.com/reel/De_dnDnOW…) violated any law.

The Election Commission has filed its reply in the Supreme Court to the petition on how the three-member Commission functions.
27 pages, approved by all three members. Its argument: every decision was unanimous, and a Commissioner’s note is a “suggestion,” not a decision.
Here’s what it addresses, and what it doesn’t.

A Prime Minister holding a phone, talking to an AI ghost of a swami, and BJP calls it "an extraordinary confluence of faith and technology."
54 years of Congress gave India ISRO, IITs, nuclear capability, and a IT revolution. 12 years of BJP gave you a hologram seance at a political event.
If these people had founded modern India, we'd still be consulting astrologers for the Five Year Plans.

Election Commission’s software has made a massive blunder. It’s translating Hindi/Urdu names by treating them as if they were English.
For example, the name was Muhammad Iqbal Beg, but the software turned it into “Mohammad Iqbal Bheek Mangte Hain”.
Another example: A woman’s name was Phool Kali Devi, and the software changed it to “Murkh Kali Devi” .
Absolute chaos, what’s going on?

WATCH | Dear Indians, this is how local body elections are being conducted in Andhra Pradesh.
She is former AP Health Minister and YSRCP leader @vidadalarajini.
This is how the NDA government led by @ncbn is behaving in Andhra Pradesh. Imagine the plight of an ordinary citizen.
Democracy in Andhra Pradesh has become a BIG JOKE!

The EDF (Export Declaration Form) rules are now in effect, and it seems like RBI and banks have conspired to create a new hell. Or actually 5 hells.
I consult for an American company. Raised October invoice. Received the Inward remittance. And bang! Mail from @HDFC_Bank detailing everything needed before the payment can be processed.
Let me tell you what the 5 hells are:
1. The hell of confusion – RBI clarified last month that the EDF rules do not apply to individuals. But looks like they haven’t told the banks. And CAs also don’t seem to know. There’s no official communication on who is exempt. Last I checked, I was an individual. No company, no LLP. But HDFC still wants me to file the EDF to credit my payment.
2. The hell of complexity – See the attached pic of the form the bank has sent in excel. It has 5 sheets. To be filled and submitted. Some abstruse acronyms like “AD” - no clue what it means. Some fields are mandatory. Some fields are to be filled by the bank. No idea which is what. And it needs a physical signature. Which leads to...
3. The hell of paperwork - They also sent a pdf with a bunch of request letters. I’m supposed to choose the right letter, print, sign, scan and submit. Creating more paper today is incredibly silly. And, I suppose, someone in the bank will have to upload all this somewhere. Reminds me of those hand-filled immigration forms. Pointless.
4. The hell of repetition – At least for me, most of the details are constant. One client, one payment. If it’s a one-time exercise, fine. I’ll grit my teeth and get it done. But no. These details have to be given month after month. Else… no payment will be credited.
5. The hell of unpreparedness – It would have been simple enough for RBI or HDFC to create an online portal for this. With dropdowns, saved formats, contextual help, etc. to at least make this easy. But that would be too convenient, no? So, they’ve chosen to dump the entire burden on the taxpayer.
I have no opinion or understanding of why this is needed. Maybe it is critical information. Okay! But why make the process so confusing and painful?
And poor communication has meant that the banks have just passed on the pain to the exporter, and even CAs can’t help.
Basically RBI & HDFC feel I should consult less, and comply more. Maybe my client will also agree :)

#WATCH : SAUDI EXECUTION OF BANGLADESHI COUPLE LEAVES A LITTLE GIRL WITH AN UNIMAGINABLE LOSS
She is too young to understand why, but old enough to mourn both her parents.
A little Bangladeshi girl places soil on the graves of her mother and father following their execution in Saudi Arabia over an alleged act inside a mosque in Mecca.
Beyond the crime and punishment, who will answer for the future of the child left behind?
#SaudiArabia #Bangladesh #Mecca #Tazir #DeathPenalty
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video is from May 2026 and depicts a girl at her father's funeral in an unrelated context, not connected to the two Bangladeshis executed in Saudi Arabia for an indecent act in a mosque.
