Pandit Amit Shukla cancels food order over 'Non-Hindu Rider', Zomato’s response wins the internet

When Zomato employee Faiyaz was given the task of taking a parcel of food to a customer in Jabalpur on Tuesday, he probably didn't think of it as anything more than a usual delivery run. And yet, two hours later, he had become the unwitting subject of a raging social media debate on customer rights and religious differences. The customer, Amit Shukla, cancelled the order because Faiyaz was a "non-Hindu". He also took to Twitter to express his anger at the food aggregator for refusing to change the delivery executive to one that better suited his religious preferences. "Just cancelled an order on @ZomatoIN they allocated a non hindu rider for my food they said they can't change rider and can't refund on cancellation I said you can't force me to take a delivery I don't want don't refund just cancel," he tweeted. Zomato shot back with a witty response that has now taken the Internet by storm. "Food doesn't have a religion. I...

Image Credit: Reuters Bengaluru: 'In a dire situation, I feel we'll somehow get out of it. As an entrepreneur, you just can't afford to lose hope. Your body better be like a shock absorber ..." These were the words of VG Siddhartha, founder-chairman of Cafe Coffee Day to a Indian media outlet in an interview in 2016. Three years later, his apparent suicide has left the country in shock. Called Coffee King, Siddhartha launched in 1996 India's largest coffee retail chain and was, as many of his friends recall, a simple, unassuming man who often stood in queue, incognito, in his own coffee retail outlets, ordering an espresso and making a quiet exit. His body was found in Karnataka's Netravathi river yesterday early morning near the area where he had got down from his ca...

This Truecaller bug put its users in a 'dangerous' position via ICICI Bank

NEW DELHI: Some  Truecaller  users in India woke up to a surprise message this morning. After an overnight app update, Truecaller had sent an encrypted message to  ICICI Bank  to automatically start the user registration for ICICI Bank UPI services. The Truecaller app did not ask for any user consent before starting the process. Interestingly, the message got sent irrespective of whether the Truecaller user is an ICICI Bank account holder or not. While the registration process got started for ICICI Bank account holders, for non-account holders nothing happened.  Truecaller users across India took to social media to complain about the issue as they feared that they might lose money from their ICICI Bank accounts via UPI account transfers. Truecaller has accepted the glitch and blamed a bug for the same.  Official statement by Truecaller:  "We have discovered a bug in the latest update of Truecaller that affected the payments feature, which automatically triggered a registration pos...

We believe in God. But do we trust Him?

A person started to walk on a rope tied between two tall towers at several hundred feet above the ground. He is slowly walking balancing a long stick in his hands. He has his son sitting on his shoulders. Everyone down were watching him in bated breath and were tensed. He slowly reached the second tower. Everyone clapped, whistled and welcomed him. They shook hands and took selfies.   He asked the crowd "do you all think I can walk  back on the same rope now from this side to that side?". Crowd shouted "Yes, Yes, you can".  Do you trust me he asked.  They said yes, yes we are ready to bet on you. He said okay, can any one of you sit on my shoulder; I will take you to the other side safely. Everyone became quite. There was stunned silence. Belief is different. Trust is different.  For Trust you need total surrender. This is what we are lacking towards God in today's world. We believe in God. But do we trust Him?
