To those asking why I didn't take @Olacabs or @Uber_India instead of @dtptraffic cab, here is the answer. I thought as this system is by Delhi Police @DelhiPolice it's safer for women. Also, I'm a regular Uber user but had bad experience at T2 of Delhi Airport. ... It was some 10 PM in night when I wanted to book a cab from T2 to Jamia Hamdard. A lot of drivers cancelled on me. In one case I had to cancel as he would not and I couldn't book next. Ended up paying a Fine for Drivers mistake. Then there were unauthorised drivers who....

I had an absolutely horrendous experience today while returning home from Terminal 1 at Delhi Airport at 6 pm. I decide to take the Black - Yellow Cab. I gave a note of 500 for a fare of 450. The clerk at the counter hands me a 100 note and says I gave 100 instead of 500. I thought that I made a mistake. Took 100 note and gave another 500 note. He hands me 50 back. Gives me two copies of receipts. I give the driver copy to the next driver in line and get into the cab. I had a feeling that I may have been duped at counter but I was not sure.

As an opinionated Transgender Muslim Woman, I face trolling from multiple quarters. Diversity of opinions is welcome but it often comes in the form of online abuse. Here is how I maintain my calm and peace. A thread ... I am blessed to have an awesome woman in my life - my mother. She is my pillar of support and a source of strength.
She is herself a force to reckon with and her emotional strength is infectious.

Dear Muslims. Get Married. Okay, so while this may sound controversial, I had to say this. I think the time is right for this. There is palpable islamophobia across India whether you are in a village or Delhi, whether you work in a Govt job or as a blue-collar worker. A thread .. Not a single day passes when new forms of attack are not unleashed on us. The conversation in every Muslim household is – How to deal with this. As a community, we need to take a lot of measures for our safety, sanity and welfare. And I have been writing about them.

We are in the third wave of #Covid. Community spread of #Omicron is given. Cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are hot spots.

What works and what does not.
A thread of 10 points

1. It is clear that Omicron escapes Immunity acquired through #Vaccines and Previous Infection 2. Most cases of Omicron have mild infection, milder compared to Delta. This however doesn't mean that it will be mild in all cases. Some would become severe and need hospitalisation. Don't be stupid by buying into 'mild' theory
