Quite a few memories with this place and surprising the food court as well. Sad how SF as a city has spiralled down and out.

San Francisco’s downtown has seen a mass exodus of retailers in recent months, and this week a mall owner has decided to walk away from a prominent property. Market analysts say the city still has a ways to go before the hemorrhaging stops. nyti.ms/43HkNNm
Avtar Khanda is dead. That’s one less.

Fascinating. Quite a curve around Syria and Turkey.

A female GPS-tracked falcon flew from South Africa to Finland. In 42 days she flew over 10,000 km. That's 230 km per day. What have you achieved in the last 42 days? Source: buff.ly/3ArE2eq

This is not a falcon, but a European honey buzzard named "Päivi." The map shows her migration from South Africa to Finland April 15-June 1, 2015. Päivi received her transmitter at her nest in Vesilahti, Finland on August 13, 2013, and was last tracked in May 2019. luomus.fi/en/satellite-h… satelliitti.laji.fi/?lang=en&id=JX…
Had to watch 83 the movie to feel better about the state of Indian cricket after yet another abject failure in an ICC final.

Good start to the day. Long way to go though. Also, anything beyond 350 as a target would be impossible on this pitch and our confidence-less batting order. #WTC23

Imagine for a second, the opposition wins. And now imagine, what kind of policy making will happen in the country for the next 5 years. Worst fuck fest.

Here is a map of terror attacks in Europe. Poland has a strict no-migrants policy. Draw your own conclusions

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While terrorism and immigration in Poland is relatively low, it does not have a no migrants policy, immigration has consistently exceeded 10k per year for the past decade. statista.com/statistics/957…. The terror data is limited to 2012-15. Poland has suffered terror attacks outside this window. csis.carto.com/builder/60931f… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Wroc…

“When a Norwegian 737-8 MAX diverted to Shiraz, Iran in December 2018, the aircraft sat on the ground in Iran for 70 days. Much of that time was spent arranging an export license for a CFM LEAP1-B engine”. #AI173 #avgeek

Passengers on the diverted Air India #AI173 finally reached San Francisco 56 hours after leaving Delhi. But for the 777 stuck in Russia, Air India’s problems have only just begun. flightradar24.com/blog/air-india

Sets the right example. Good on you, AI.

.@airindia will be refunding the fare of everyone who was on AI173 which had to divert to GDX, and also provide them a voucher useful for travel in the future. Everyone on board the flight received a communication to this effect on arrival at SFO. #AI173

“Phrase that comes to my mind is ulta chor kotwal ko daante” External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar when asked about Canadian NSA’s comment on Indian interference in Canadian affairs. EAM further expanded that Canadian support to Khalistanis is a matter of concern.

Ben, in your story you have explained the reason correctly. Hence, your story title is incorrect. The India UAE bilateral ASA doesn’t provide for codesharing, so where is the issue of “blocking”? Why is the US so hell bent on not overflying Iran when all the other NATO allies are… Show more

Agree with every word my friend Milind says. I’d take it a step further to say that any response needs to go beyond Indian condemnation. These are Brampton bozos who get flung a lunch-carton to show up. Essentially unemployed cowards with bravery of being out of range. 🤡

As an Indian, I'm appalled by the 5km-long #parade which took place in the city of Brampton, Canada, depicting the assassination of #IndiraGandhi. It's not about taking sides, it's about respect for a nation's history & the pain caused by its Prime Minister’s assassination.… Show more

I’m sure this is appreciated, Ambassador. Aside from this obvious attention-seeking by keyboard Khalistanis who’d sell their mums for a little media-time, the Canadian Govt actively supports or tolerates anti-India groups, including those that advocate violent separatism.

I am appalled by reports of an event in Canada that celebrated the assassination of late Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. There is no place in Canada for hate or for the glorification of violence. I categorically condemn these activities.

Hartosh, please don't blame the India Today group for the fact that you've been in journalism for, what, three decades?, and nobody knows you or can name a piece of work by you. Park your frustrations elsewhere.

oh do shut up @ShivAroor. your group survives on platforming such people, boosting modi and then occasionally pointing out the consequences of exactly what you boost, the tweedledee/tweeledum rajdeep/rahul kanwal tamasha that you guys live on twitter.com/ShivAroor/stat…

I watched the whole interview just to make sure was not missing any nuance. This is sheer arrogance at play! The only reason this company can survive is because no one takes data and privacy breaches in India seriously. They would have been sued and finished by now in the US… Show more
