Well Played, @HyundaiIndia!
I'm sure the higher ups of @Hyundai_Global must be mighty impressed at your prowess in going into hiding!
Atleast one thing I know for sure as far as my next car goes - It will NOT be a Hyundai!
Cheers!
Looks like this poorly photoshopped photo of Shri @iamsrk ji in front of some @HyundaiIndia product is going to be in circulation for much much longer than it would have been under normal circumstances, thanks to the brand that he endorses, endorsing Pakistan in return!
🤣
Disclaimer: This 'funny' video is in no way related to the top folks of @Hyundai_Global handing over control of their @HyundaiIndia and @Pakistan_Hyundai operations, including social media, to a bunch of nincompoop monkeys!
🤣
Meanwhile, @KiaInd, furiously praying that they not attract any of the crap that their friends and part owners @HyundaiIndia / @Hyundai_Global have landed themselves in!
🤣
At the same time, the 'good' folks of @KiaInd and @Kia_Worldwide are sending curses to the dealers in the network of their @KiaMotorsPK counterparts in Bhikharistan who are hell-bent on making 'amusing' business decisions with their brand name getting sucked in as well!
So this is not the first time!
Just that they didn't get 'phamous' last year!!
Thanks @nils_gate for pointing that out!
Understandably, there are a LOT of memes doing round due to this PR disaster by @HyundaiIndia and of course the idiots of @PakistanHyundai. Of whatever I've come across, this one 👇 jis my fav:-
Dear @HyundaiIndia, thanks for the statement. This showcases a BRILLIANT command over the English language whereby the idiots manning your PR Dept / Corporate whisper sweet nothings to the outraged on social media, when merely two words would have sufficed - 'We Apologise'!
I assume that higher ups at @Hyundai_Global would be looking at hiring a new bunch of PR and other folks to replace the jokers of @HyundaiIndia that have showcased such brilliant levels of idiocy wrt PR & higher management!
Looking forward to their next 2 quarters' sales report!
More I read this 'statement', more it seems like an accusation towards Indian Tweeple for outraging against the 'good' folks of @HyundaiIndia for something done by their counterparts in Pakistan. Little do they realise that they all come under the same umbrella of @Hyundai_Global
This particular part of the 'statement' is what has been causing this doubt - I wonder what exactly @HyundaiIndia jokers mean by 'unsolicited SM post linking Hyundai India' and whether they mean that it is they who are offended at being asked to clarify.
Right, @Hyundai_Global?
What further strengthens this doubt is their blocking spree & the fact that there seems to be not even a vague sign of even an attempted apology by the company!
Hence, #BoycottHyundai!
All the best, Dear @HyundaiIndia & @Hyundai_Global.
Have a blast in Pakistan!
(No Pun intended)

Folks, sharing some thoughts on Big Tech that has become an integral part of our daily lives as individuals as well as collectively.
The trigger was the massive outage of Microsoft devices some weeks ago. Have been having some thoughts since then.
Let's see how it goes..
First and foremost, here is a link to the outage of Microsoft devices due to some issue with CrowdStrike, for those who might have forgotten it. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/moc…
So many parts of our lives came to a halt, because someone somewhere screwed up!
It was a major news headline for atleast a couple of days.
And then, we moved on once things were back in order, dismissing this as a temporary hitch in our day-to-day existence.
:THREAD:
This tweet landed on my TL some time back.
More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.
Sharing a chain of thoughts.
Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.
And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops!
To put things in context and why I found it amusing, I will just give a comparison with the British and the German Armies, sourced from Wikipedia itself.
British Army = Approx 79,000 Active Duty personnel
German Army = 63,000 personnel
Last night just as I was about to hit bed, this short thread landed up on my TL.
My first reaction was that this was inevitable!
Sharing some thoughts on this latest development.
Let's see how it goes ..
First and foremost, I will share this video of Dacca University, taken in March 1971, aired by NBC News 10 months later.
THIS is how the endgame of 1971 commenced - with the West Pakistani occupiers killing students and professors ..
MUST watch the video and hear the commentary
It seems almost like a Deja Vu all over again, doesn't it?
Given that the levels of violence for the time being aren't of similar nature, but students clashing with armed wings of the state is a dire reminded of what happened not very long ago ..
Sharing some thoughts on the #Bangladesh issue that has flared up over the past few days.
Thoughts are still unstructured, let's see how this thread goes ..
I will start by saying that If you STILL cannot hear the drums of war, you must be deaf indeed!
The wheels of history seem to be moving with increasing urgency lately, getting greased with more and more blood. Sad, as it may be, it is just history repeating itself.
The events that have transpired in Bangladesh over the past few days and weeks and months have been reported fairly widely, so I won't delve on them much.
But fact remains that it is just the latest in a series of countries ending up in chaos over the past couple of years.
This day in 1999, a young Captain by the name of Manoj Kumar Pandey was going gung ho, clearing Paakis in Khalubar.
Little would he have have known that he had just about 43 days more in this world, before he attained martyrdom, and with it, immortal fame ..
He led the most difficult tasks assigned to 1/11 Gorkha Rifles in the war, with full confidence in his fellow Gorkhas to deliver.
Here is a letter he wrote from the battlefield to a friend.
Download, Zoom & Read.
I INSIST.
