NRI Calls Out Ignorant Behaviour Of Fellow Indians On Flight. See Post https://ift.tt/480PdXO A Reddit post calling out Indians for their unruly behaviour on a plane is going viral on social media. In his post titled 'From an Indian to an Indian', a non-residential Indian (NRI) from Krakow, Poland, expressed his disappointment with the alleged actions of other Indian co-passengers aboard a plane. He claimed that people coming to Delhi on a flight from Munich created chaos, spoke loudly, behaved rudely and showed no regard for other passengers. The OP (original poster) called out Indian passengers for their inappropriate behaviour and urged them to "behave like humans".  "Sometimes I (live in Krakow) am ashamed to be seen an Indian. The title says that, I want to ask as an Indian who also lives abroad to the indians who live abroad too, why can't you guys understand that your behaviour is seen by everyone," the Redditor wrote, before listing instances that left him feeling "ashamed".  Take a look below:  From an Indian to an Indian byu/makesyoucurious inindia In his post, the OP described his experience at the airport, saying that "loud Indians" were "shouting their throats out while the other side of the airport was fine". He also mentioned that people were blasting their Instagram reels at full volume. The Redditor claimed that fellow travellers were also "breaking queues while others waited for hours".  After boarding the flight, the OP stated that "there was panic immediately because people started sitting on seats which weren't theirs' because they wanted to sit with their family". "Women besides me, kept all the hand-rest space for herself and was so ignorant when i tried to take a bit of space by again forcing her elbows in. And also i was asked to change my seat (i didn't)," the user wrote. He also said that at one point, the woman removed her shoes and the "stench was horrible" that he and the person sitting next to him woke up. The flight attendant then provided them with a balm to apply to their noses to lessen the discomfort caused by the odour. The Redditor emphasised how Indians are constantly eager to go first and are unaware of others in need. "While picking up the luggage a member of the helping staff was helping a disabled lady and she was trying to see her luggage, but people were so ignorant and started blocking her because they wanted to go first," the user noted. "Now I see why my friend takes business class, i will do the same. All I am trying to say in this post is, if you are an individual who behaves like that, please understand everyone notices it, people are just too nice to point it out. You all are representing India so please behave like a human being," the OP concluded.  Also Read | Tech Millionaire Bryan Johnson Reveals He Eats His Last Meal At 11 AM To Reverse Ageing In the comments section, users agreed with the OP and shared similar instances. "Playing reels and YouTube on speaker, loudly talking over the phone in a bus... oh man! I wish they understand how others feel about it. Civic sense must be taught and promoted loudly," wrote one user.  "Well, as an expat I can confirm this is true, although I have travelled from India to Germany and back only 4 times, reading this hit me with a flashback of my travelling experience," commented another.  "I feel the same way. I have travelled internationally at least 50 times and had the same experience every single time. We never went through any cultural transformation or refinement, to fit into the modern world. All our governments have focused on keeping people divided and poor with no real emphasis on education, honesty, or etiquette," expressed a third user.  https://ift.tt/iAsE4gp October 30, 2024 at 07:05AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Foreigner Shows Poor Condition Of Toilet On Indian Train, Sparks Debate https://ift.tt/XBUjlMO In recent days several railway passengers have been taking to social media to show the dire condition of trains, which have been marred by overcrowding and ticketless passengers occupying seats. Now, a video of a foreigner showing the conditions of a toilet on an Indian train is going viral on social media. The clip was shared on Instagram by digital creator Irina Moreno. It shows the condition of the train toilet and the lack of proper cleanliness. From the train number mentioned in the post's caption, the foreigner was travelling on the Udaipur City - Jaipur Intercity Express when she took the video. Sharing the video, Ms Moreno wrote, "Western toilet on train in India, 2nd class. Train 12991." Take a look below:  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Irina Moreno (@irinamoreno_travelstories) Ms Moreno shared the video a few days back. Since then it has garnered more than 52,000 likes and 5.8 million views. The post also sparked several reactions.  One user wrote, "You are travelling in second class which is one of the cheapest forms available. I want to advise you to travel in first class to capture the real picture." "Large countries have many sides to explore. Budget-conscious travel requires careful planning. You chose this train for affordability. Alternative options like Vande Bharat and Metro trains were available.

This does not reflect a typical train washroom in India," said a third user.  "Next time come to India with good budget, so that you can travel in better trains such as vande bharat," commented another.  In a separate post, Ms Moreno shared another washroom video of a first-class Indian train.

Woman Finds The Optical Illusion Dress That Broke The Internet In 2015 https://ift.tt/qZTHMr7 A woman has taken TikTok by storm after discovering the infamous optical illusion dress at a yard sale, reigniting the heated debate that captivated the internet in 2015. The dress, which sparked intense discussion, was a polarising topic as people struggled to agree on its colour, with two distinct camps emerging: those who saw it as black and blue, and those who swore it was gold and white. The dress, which became a cultural phenomenon, was a seemingly simple photograph of a garment that left many questioning their perception. The debate raged on social media, with people weighing in on the dress's true colour. Nine years later, the woman's TikTok video has brought the debate back to life. According to the Independent, Amanda Rubinstein stumbled upon the infamous dress while browsing through a yard sale. Excited by her find, she shared her discovery on TikTok, saying: "I'm at a yard sale and they have a lot of great stuff, including the dress." She added: "I knew it was blue," referencing the heated debate that surrounded the dress's colour. Ms Rubinstein learned from the seller that the dress had been tucked away in her closet since 2015, the same year the optical illusion dress took the internet by storm. While she couldn't confirm whether the dress she purchased was the exact one from the viral 2015 photo, she found that the dress is from the same collection as the original viral dress. Talking to Newsweek about the surprising find, Ms Rubinstein said, ''The dress was one of the first items I saw when I walked up to the yard sale. I immediately screamed, 'Oh my goodness, you have THE DRESS!' The owners and other neighbours had a nice laugh at my expressive reaction upon seeing it.'' ''I wasn't sure if it would fit, but I knew an opportunity to own one of the most iconic dresses of the internet age doesn't come around often," she added. Her video has gone viral, with many users commenting on the dress's colour and sharing their own opinions. One user wrote, ''What a beautiful white and gold dress!'' Another commented, ''This is the first time I've not seen it as white and gold.'' The viral dress photo first surfaced on a blog when Cecilia Bleasdale shared it ahead of her daughter Grace's wedding. The photo's blueish tint played a significant role in tricking people's perceptions, leading to a heated debate over the dress's actual colour. Despite being confirmed to be blue with black lace, millions of people saw the dress as white and gold, sparking a global phenomenon that left many scratching their heads. https://ift.tt/imYR5kX October 28, 2024 at 09:13AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Horrifying Video Shows Skydiving Instructor Fall To Death In Brazil https://ift.tt/Z1yvRAU Jose de Alencar Lima Junior, a skydiving instructor, fell to death in Brazil's Sao Conrado after he ran off a cliff's edge. The 49-year-old army veteran was attempting a speed fly - an air sport similar to paragliding - when he lost his balance just as the parachute was deployed, the footage of which has gone viral on social media. Lima immediately fell nearly 820 feet and landed on some rocks as a woman in the background could be heard saying in the video: "Guys, I am worried." According to witnesses, as cited by the NY Post, Lima appeared to have tripped on a hole which contributed to the fatal fall. The police are currently investigating the case and believe that Lima's equipment may have been faulty at the time of the accident. Meanwhile, the Clube Sao Conrado de Voo Livre (CSCLV), which controls access to the site where paragliding flights and similar activities take place in Pedra Bonita, said that Lima accessed a trail -- not the ramp, and jumped from an inappropriate location. "The pilot did not use the ramp to take off. The spot he chose for takeoff is bad and even prohibited. The CSCLV is not responsible for the incident. With that clarification, may the pilot rest in peace," CSCLV said in a statement. FATALIDADE José de Alencar Lima Junior, de 49 anos, morreu neste domingo (3) ao tentar decolar de speed fly na Pedra Bonita, em São Conrado, zona sul do Rio de Janeiro. O acidente ocorreu no momento em que o piloto se preparava para o voo e corria para ganhar velocidade. pic.twitter.com/UFDiIu1J0Z — BT Mais (@belemtransito) November 4, 2024 Also read | Russian Minister Dies After Jumping Off Cliff To Save Cameraman Lima, who served as a paratrooper in the Brazilian Army's Parachute Infantry Brigade, was an experienced skydiving instructor who lived in Germany but was visiting family in Brazil. His sister-in-law said it was an accident. "We have no idea what could have happened. But he was a professional skydiver for 20 years. He was experienced. What happened was an accident," she said, adding that she had no idea whether Lima had previously jumped from Pedra Bonita. Last month, a Chilean woman also plunged to her death while skydiving in Boituva, Brazil when her main and reserve parachutes failed to deploy correctly. Carolina Munoz Kennedy, 40, was captured on video plummeting to the ground as she spun wildly out of control. https://ift.tt/xO6z5jC November 06, 2024 at 07:06AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
