Decode started as part of @boomlive_in fact checking newsroom. It is now a standalone site with a body of excellent stories by @adrijabose @HeraRizwan1 and a team of contributors. Do follow.

Five years ago, Decode started as a small idea inside @boomlive_in: cover technology through the lives it impacts. Looking back at what we've published since, I'm struck by how wide that question turned out to be. The stories now have a new home: decodeinternet.in

.@drmbct why has Mumbai Western Railway made it a daily habit to delay AC locals? Your 11:23 am train from Borivali daily departs post 11:45 am. Why don’t you change the timings if you can’t run services on published time? @WesternRly

Proud of my old newspaper, @the_hindu, take a bow @nambath, the only paper to have the correct headline for what transpired in parliament yesterday. All other newspapers seem to have bought the government’s spin that the ‘opposition defeated women’s reservation’!

The phrase "Corporate Jihad" surfaced on X with news of arrests in the Nashik TCS case-not from any chargesheet or court filing, but from a social media narrative that reframed a workplace harassment complaint into a conspiracy alleging religious targeting. @AnmolAlphonso reports Follow this thread ⬇️(1/n) #TCS #NashikCase

Respected sir maybe there was a communication issue but the way I remmeber the last 3 questions of my cross examination this evening - Do you feel remorse - No Are you sorry about what you said- No If you tender an unconditional apology this matter will be looked at differently - No I can’t as the apology would not be sincere. Also it would set a terrible precedent for other artists & their freedom.

This is a public relations nightmare. If he did not have any major concern, who drafted or vetted that statement? Now whatever he says will be seen as damage control. Hope @RBI and @SEBI_India are checking what went wrong. What is this ideology mismatch in a bank?

Whether it is Israel's bombing of buildings in Beirut, US-Israel strikes on neighbourhoods in Tehran, or Pakistan's bombing of a hospital in Kabul....the message is clear- no regard for human lives, and no fear of costs to pay for inflicting such "collateral damage" from the air
