Today Lucknow restored a little bit of my faith in people.

I accidentally left my phone in an Uber. The next passenger had unknowingly picked it up from the back seat along with their own phones/belongings. When I realized, I called my number in complete panic. They answered immediately, explained that they genuinely hadn’t noticed, shared their location, and returned my phone without any drama.

In a world where we mostly hear negative stories, this felt really wholesome.
Lucknow ki tehzeeb is still alive ❤️

Guys, this is going to be a small rant but rant i must.

i was born and brought up in Lucknow. Lived here a long time and a very proud Lucknowite.

Obviously Lucknow was much different then and things have changed a lot but one thing that does not change is the entitelement of our VIPs. I'm not even talking about the netas, we dont have any expectations from them but what about the civil servants, the neeli batti and "govt of india" bade sahabs? They are supposed to be educated, well learned, smart people yet they and their chamchas behave with some next level entitelement that does not reflect any signs of being educated.

Last evening, i was waiting for an uber outside Pallasio and a small family was waiting next to me. When their cab arrived the kids walked towards the car and some VIP car came driving right next to the cab and almost putting the kids in danger. No one cared. Offcourse he couldn't wait behind the cab because how could he? Then some police constable started loading their shopping into the car completely blocking the cabs door from one side. Again, no fucks given. Sahab has to board right infront of the door and not a moment to lose.

Could they not tell their drivers/staff to behave with some sense? Do they think it shows some sort of power? To me it shows a complete lack of education and civic sense.

I hope to come one day and find this VIP culture vanished from our city because frankly, its crass.
