Perfect meme summary by Economic Times.

🤭

At this point, unless you pedantically overanalyze, there is little difference between the new ads of Coca-Cola's Thums Up (8.3 mg caffeine per 100g) and PepsiCo's Mountain Dew (13mg caffeine per 100g). Ogilvy's narrative for Thums Up's new ad starring Shah Rukh Khan (and Allu Arjun 1/6

"Trump is helping Russia and China achieve their explicit mission of replacing the United States as the world’s preeminent superpower. Moscow’s goal has long been to break up the North Atlantic alliance. Who would have thought that an American president would do its dirty work?"

"Musk’s posts serve as “a trigger mechanism” to his followers, often prompting them to scour social media, profiles, look up information about a target’s family members, launch cyberattacks, lodge fake complaints with their employer, or flood people with texts and phone calls throughout the night"

Clever farmer 😁

I'm working on pointers to talk about the social media and influencer landscape in India for a multinational B2B behemoth's international communications team. Now, all the people in this team can effortlessly go to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Grok, ask specific questions about the 1/4

Wondering aloud: Is it like how a 30+ year old Sachin Tendulkar would have thought about Twenty20 in the early 2000s - should I focus on Test matches and One-Day only? How much time should I devote for this new format called Twenty20?

Very interesting! Perhaps Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, and Mehul Choksi too should start their own podcasts. The guests they manage to get on their podcasts would make for an interesting watch. And yes, Chitra Ramkrishna could launch her podcast with the Himalayan Yogi as the guest.

Adei!!!! There are actual broken seats that common Indian citizens are complaining about, but the aviation ministry intervened ONLY when a super-privileged minister complained about "lean cushion"? Seriously? 😡

😂

Hahahahaha 😂 Excellent, contextual headline. Great job by the Chennai-based agency Be Positive 24. There are subtle cues in the background design and the name the client too 😅 #advertising #marketing #copywriting #creativity

After Hindi gobbling up all the languages up North, BJP is now bent on enabling Hindi to conquer the Southern languages too. That's BJP's long-term gameplan anyway - total uniformity as imagined by the party.

When 'one of them' (bade minister log) complains, there's immediate action and response by the aviation ministry. Common folks have been complaining about broken seats in Air India and IndiGo for years.

The one that is blackmailing is the Centre, no? —"If you want money that is legitimately owed to you, do what we say. Or else, no money!".

Things are getting wild in DOGE cuckoo land. Hard to believe that the DOGE Chief Cuckoo's post is not parody.

Hahahahahaha! BJP took Trump's words seriously to go after its rivals, and now Trump has said that the $21mn went to "his friend PM Modi" 😂

Aviation watchsloth for common citizens. Aviation watchdog for union minister. People complaining (for the longest time) won't get the union civil aviation minister to intervene, but 'one of them' complains... and there's instant intervention. Full-on VIP culture.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 🤣

MBAs to take over e-commerce deliveries! Long before the current quick-commerce mania (13 years ago, to be precise), back in the hubris-filled days of early e-commerce in India, one e-commerce company called Yebhi proudly announced that they had hired MBAs to also handle deliveries! 1/3

"Consider the $21mn question about USAID-funded interference in Indian polls. It came from Trump’s mouth and became truth in one universe. Now, some reports say the money went to Dhaka, not Delhi" —"Some reports say"? You couldn't do your own check like IE and mention the "FACT" in your editorial?

Clever/naughty placement of news by ET.

Try turning the sentiment around to refer to the loss of majority of BJP in the general elections or BJP's abysmal failure in Manipur as 'academic intent questions' and you'd have ABVP protest against the concerned professor and ED/CBI investigating the IIT's finances.

Spineless cowards: "Several Republicans initially didn’t believe Trump’s words had been reported accurately. Others offered harsh criticism of Putin, and held out hope that Trump might be engaged in an unorthodox negotiating strategy."

"I’m a professor, a teacher. I don’t look for trouble. But I would feel ashamed if I didn’t speak up for the values that have guided my institution and many others."

🤣

Wow! How soon would Meta be forced to reinstate his accounts and apologize to him, I wonder.

US's Chief Disinformation Officer is very effective.

Amazon buys Bond from Broccoli.

Feb. 18: US-Russia talks to exclude Ukraine Feb. 19: US-Russia hail their own talks Feb. 20: Trump says Ukraine started war. Feb. 21: US opposes phrase 'Russian aggression' Feb. 22: Trump calls Putin his brother from another mother and Zelenskyy a spawn of satan?

"These t-shirts have been tested on animals. They didn't fit"! Found this amusingly intriguing statement on all Kook N Keech t-shirts (a label owned by Myntra). It is amusing because of the tone - are they going for so-called 'attitude' and 'sarcasm'? 1/2

... because now both the CM and the LG serve at the pleasure of the PM 😂

"Womens's Day"? 🤦

Oh God, the irony!

"Railways ministry gave X 36 hours to remove tweets from multiple accounts citing concerns about “sensitive or disturbing media depicting deceased individuals” because such content “may affect the operations of Indian Railways” given the “huge rush of trains” these days."

"Sangam water in a specially-created pond in the jail campuses for 90,000 prisoners". What next? Send Sangam water to apartment complexes and public swimming pools across States so people can take a dip at their convenience, closer home.

"Facts show all may have jumped the gun. That $21 million was sanctioned in 2022 for Bangladesh, not India." —As usual, hardly matters if this was not for India, because BJP has already jumped on the bandwagon convinced it was for India, along with Trump.
