Indian Railways Adds Rs 50 As Service Charge In Bill For Rs 20 Tea, Twitter Goes WTF

The inflation is increasing at a very high rate in the country and prices of each commodity whether it is edible item, electronic goods, FMCG, etc. is touching sky. However, there is still one thing which is available to Indians at a little less price and it is almost a necessity for majority of us. Yes, you guessed it right! We are talking about our loving chai which we can obtain from the roadside tea stalls for Rs. 10 or a little more, depending upon the items added in it.

Tea is indispensable for majority of Indians who can have it any time because it not only refreshes but also serves as a get-together reason for the whole family. Even while travelling also, we prefer to have tea at regular intervals so that our mind and senses can work in a proper manner but drinking tea while travelling in a train proved too costly to a traveler.

As per an article in a leading daily, a passenger of Bhopal Shatabdi Express who was travelling from Bhopal to Delhi ordered a cup of tea in the train which was priced at Rs. 20. However, the passenger had to pay Rs. 70 for one cup of tea because the Indian Railways charged Rs. 50 as service charge in the bill.

The passenger shared the photo of the bill on social media platforms and soon people started slamming the Indian Railways for looting public in this manner. Here are some selected reactions:

However, the Indian Railways made its stance clear on this matter; it clarified that as per the circular passed in 2018, if a passenger doesn’t book meal in advance while making a reservation, they have to pay Rs. 50 extra as service charge if they order coffee, tea or food during their travel.

Check out the image of the circular:

So from now onm make it a point to book your meals in advance while making reservation otherwise be ready to pay Rs. 50 extra.

“Shame On BCCI, Dirty Politics,” BCCI Got Slammed For Excluding Sanju Samson & Playing Rishabh Pant

The relatively less experienced Indian cricket team under the leadership of Hardik Pandya won the 2-match T20I series against Ireland by 2-0 and the same team which played second T20I against Ireland will be playing against England in the first T20I. However, the selectors have made changes in the squad which will be playing the second and third T20I and 3 ODIs as well and the exclusion of especially one player has irked cricket fans who trolled and slammed the selectors and BCCI mercilessly.

That one player is Sanju Samson who is a very famous cricketer of the present times and recently he led his IPL team Rajasthan Royals in the finals of the IPL 2022. Though RR lost it to Gujarat Titans yet Sanju Samson was praised a lot for his captaincy and batting in the tournament. Sanju Samson has been in and out of the Indian team and when he got the chance to play in the second T20I against Ireland, he made the most of it by hitting a half century as he scored 77 runs in 42 balls and his innings included 9 fours & 4 sixes. Moreover, his 176 runs partnership with Deepak Hooda is the highest ever for any wicket for India in the T20I format. Though he will be playing the first T20I against England, he has not been included in the squad for remaining T20Is and 3 ODIs because Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant will make a comeback in the team.

The Indian cricket lovers got aggravated due to Sanju Samson’s exclusion and they expressed their annoyance on the micro-blogging site Twitter. While many fans have slammed BCCI and the selectors for ignoring Sanju Samson despite him performing well in the only chance given to him, there are some others who are very unhappy with the fact that Rishabh Pant who is failing repeatedly is getting chances but Sanju Samson is being discriminated.

Check out some of the selected reactions:

When the former chairman of the selection committee Saba Karim was asked by a leading daily about the inconsistency in the manner in which Sanju Samson is being treated by the selectors, the former Indian cricketer says that there is no doubt things have been tough for Sanju Samson. Saba Karim adds that sometimes the selectors tend to get influenced by the recent performances, for example if someone performs well in the IPL, the selectors may choose to go with that player instead of someone who was selected earlier and on some moments, this happened with Sanju Samson as well. Saba Karim goes on to say that whatever has happened is past now so it will be better that Sanju Samson looks forward only.

The Indian team comprising of senior players will be playing the fifth rescheduled test match starting today. As of now, India is leading by 2-1 but England is certainly the favorite to win the test match after whitewashing New Zealand in the 3-match test series.

Do you also believe that BCCI is doing injustice with Sanju Samson? Let us know your views in this regard.

Anubhav Sinha Speaks On South Vs Bollywood Debate, Reacts On Failure Of His “Anek”

Ayushmann Khurrana’s latest release “Anek” failed in making an impact on the box-office and this has certainly made the movie’s director Anubhav Sinha very upset. In a recent interview, the director admitted that he got to realize his film would not do well just one day after its release and it depressed him because he is proud of this flick and he is in love with it.

Anubhav adds that he has seen flops earlier as well in his career (“Ra.One”, “Cash”, etc.) but he is possessive about “Anek” which was not the case with other movies. He also talked about the reactions that he got for “Anek” and he was very clear when he said that only political aware would like the film as it is not just for a casual watch.

Moreover, Anubhav Sinha also talked about the success of southern language movies in Hindi speaking belt and on the infamous south vs Bollywood debate. Many are of the opinion that southern films are achieving more success all over India because they make original content while Bollywood is mostly about copying content.

Sinha states that there is no doubt the southern cinema has more original content but Bollywood masala movie “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” was also able to attract audiences to cinema halls. He adds that audiences are looking for commercial potboilers at the moment otherwise his latest release “Anek” would also have performed well on the box-office.

The “Article 15” director states that after three south Indian movies (“Pushpa”, “RRR” & “KGF 2”) achieved success all over the country, the exhibitors, studios, producers, financiers, etc. are feeling that the Indian audiences want to see that kind of flicks only but that is not the case. He takes a dig at all of them by saying that when a person does not understand something, he creates a false envelope and keeps all his ignorance in that envelope and this is what happening nowadays.

Anubhav Sinha goes on to say that at this moment, he doesn’t have an answer but soon after six-eight successful movies, we will be able to see a clear pattern as to what viewers want but as of now, they are preferring entertaining movies over intense ones.

“We Want Match-Winning Contributions From Him,” Says Rahul Dravid On Virat Kohli’s Form

The Indian team comprising of senior cricketers – Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jaspirt Bumrah, Cheteshwar Pujara, etc. is in England nowadays as it will be playing the fifth rescheduled test match of the 5-match test series. Presently India is leading by 2-1 but the manner in which the England team whitewashed the 3-match test series against New Zealand, the hosts have certainly become the favorites to win the fifth and the final test match.

The skipper Rohit Sharma has tested COVID-19 positive because of which he won’t be playing in this test match and Jasprit Bumrah will be leading in his absence. However, it also increases the responsibility on Virat Kohli but the former skipper is going through a rough phase for a long time and he hasn’t scored a century since 2019.

Recently, the head coach of team India Rahul Dravid talked about Virat Kohli and his failure to score a century and he has completely dismissed that King Kohli is lacking motivation. As per Dravid, players go through such phases and he doesn’t feel that there is any lack of motivation or desire as far as Virat Kohli is concerned. He adds that it is not always about scoring centuries, the innings of 79 which he played against South Africa was also a good one, though it was not a three-figure score.

Rahul Dravid goes on to say that Virat has set his standards so high that fans see centuries only as success for him but from a coach’s perspective, he will like to see Virat making match-winning contributions even if they are in 50s or 60s.

Virat Kohli is 33 yrs old and the head coach feels that the former RCB skipper is not on the wrong side of 30 because he is very fit and one of the most hard-working persons Dravid has ever come across. Rahul Dravid also praised Virat Kohli for the manner in which he prepared himself in the warm-up game which was played at Leicester.

It has been nearly seven months that Rahul Dravid has taken up responsibility of the head coach and in this duration, we have seen the Indian side being led by six skippers. Dravid went to Sri Lanka with the relatively less experienced team led by Shikhar Dhawan, then Kohli resigned and Rohit Sharma took over but after that KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya have been appointed as the stand-in skippers and now Jasprit Bumrah will be leading the team.

Dravid said that even he had not thought that the Indian team would have so many captains in such less duration but it happened as the world is still not free from COVID-19 and players had injury issues. He added that though we had so many skippers yet we played good cricket.

Well Rahul Dravid seems to be absolutely right when he says that there is no lack of motivation in Virat Kohli. What do you say?
