90% of indian sf is non Anglophone. Its high time that we accept and promote vernacular SFs like Bengali, Hindi, Marathi, Assamese etc. Thanks to @strangehorizons and @gautambhatia88 for giving me the voice. @ScifiSumit @penkeepersoham @theBekku

#bankingfail disappointed with @AxisBank's customer care and lack of accountability @ Dumdum branch. Despite repeated followup, corporate account remains deactivated for 2 weeks, directly impacting business operations. Level of negligence is unacceptable. @AxisBankSupport

Disappointed with Amazon! Ordered a famous five-boxset, but received cheap Archie. Invoice is from @Flipkart ! How can AMAZON fail at basic order accuracy? Feels like cheating customers out of their expectations. @amazonIN , please do better! #AmazonFail #CustomerExperience
