Hyderabad is so well-planned - good roads, proper footpaths, cycling tracks, and an ORR with almost no traffic. Every time I’m here, I just love it.

You don’t leave a chance to pull down the government. Atleast, spare them now. Once it’s all over, make 1000 videos bro. The person quoted here was wrong, and you can always post about it, but at the end of the day, all you look for is a chance irrespective of the situation.

Bhuvan Bam stopped uploading on YouTube - not because he ran out of ideas, but because he wanted to be seen differently. He didn’t want the world to introduce him as a “YouTuber,” he wanted to be known as an actor. Sometimes, growth means walking away from what made you

It is so tough to survive with a ~3.5 LPA salary in a city like Bangalore. Sharing rooms with 2/3, not travelling home, avoiding food at times. In some countries in Europe, there is a concept of minimum wage, it’s time that India thinks about it for some sectors citywise.
