Zomato delivery agent channels his inner MotoGP rider, video from hilly road goes viral
In a country where food delivery agents are often spotted weaving through chaotic traffic or racing against the clock to ensure timely deliveries, a new video has stunned the internet, not for delays or mishaps, but for something entirely unexpected. A Zomato delivery partner has gone viral for his breathtaking biking skills, reminiscent of a professional motorcycle racer.
In the video, the biker is seen swooshing his bike around the lanes of what looks like an isolated hill road, riding like a professional racer.
The video was shared by user @@aas_sthaa on X, on May 26th, with the caption, 'Born to be a Rider, Forced to be a delivery boy!!'. The video has gained 191.7 thousand views.

Many users were captivated by this Zomato delivery guy's biking skills. One user commented, 'Bro is loving his job.'
Another user wrote, 'Delivery boy on fire.'
One user commented on the impact of his riding on the food ordered: 'Ordered cake, received halwa.'
This is not the first time a Zomato delivery partner has gone viral. Last year, a delivery agent earned praise for delivering orders during Diwali, braving festive traffic and tight schedules.
More recently, a Zomato partner in Pune touched hearts across social media after he went the extra mile literally to deliver missing food items from a customer's order. Despite living with partial paralysis, he made the trip without hesitation and even refused to accept a tip for his effort. The story was shared on LinkedIn by Pune-based entrepreneur Shripal Gandhi and quickly went viral.
Even the company's leadership has shown a hands-on approach to understanding the delivery ecosystem. Last year, Zomato co-founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal took to the streets of Gurgaon as a delivery partner. Accompanied by his wife, Gia Goyal (formerly Grecia Munoz), he delivered food on a bike, aiming to gain firsthand insight into the everyday challenges faced by Zomato's delivery partners.

Loud, proud and unstoppable: Queer changemakers to know this pride month
Pride Month begins today and brings with it a burst of colour, joy and courage. It is a time to celebrate love, freedom, and the right to being yourself. But for many queer people, showing up as themselves in the face of negativity is a brave choice. It is a brave act that comes with stares, comments, and sometimes even hate. Especially online, where negativity can spread faster than kindness. But despite all this, many continue to live their truth with boldness, beauty, and brilliance. There are voices that rise above the noise. They dance, they speak, they write, and they create. They remind us that Pride is not just a moment in June. It is a way of being. It is the decision to stand tall when others want you to shrink. It is the magic of turning pain into power. Here are incredible individuals who are doing just that. Designer Saim Ghani knows what it means to face hate and still choose love. As a queer creative in Mumbai, he often receives harsh comments online, but he meets them with strength and kindness. 'If someone sends hate, I try to turn it into love because love is the foundation of everything,' he says. For Saim, love is not just a feeling but a way to heal and grow. A post shared by Saim Ghani (@ At 31 years old, Saim works in fashion, a field where his identity, creativity and personal life come together. He refuses to hide who he is and shares his truth openly, just like his heterosexual friends do. 'Why should I hide a part of myself when others do not?' he asks. He believes queer people are no different from anyone else and that qualities like softness belong to all humans, not just one group. Growing up shy and quiet in an all-boys school, Saim struggled to understand himself. It was only when he joined fashion college that he found the courage to embrace his true self. Mumbai-based makeup artist and content creator Coco Ballucci has learned to keep their peace, even amid a barrage of social media hate. 'When you know your worth and the work you have put into building your life, the noise just fades,' they say. That quiet confidence is ten years in the making; taking a leap of faith, Coco moved from Kolkata to Chandigarh to become a professional makeup artist. A post shared by COCO (@cocoballucci_) But it was during the pandemic that they found their voice online. Their YouTube channel quickly found a loyal audience. 'My message is simple,' they say, adding, 'Keep laughing, be silly, and always work for yourself.' Their work also serves as an inspiration to young queer people, who reach out for guidance or just to say thank you. 'If my journey can light the way for someone else, I am doing something right,' Coco says. Zeesh, a drag performer based in Mumbai, knows that being visible is never simple. Now 30, the artist has learnt to exist boldly after years of trying to shape themselves to fit others' expectations. A post shared by ZEESH (@zeeessshh) 'After my first drag performance, a young person from the audience came up and said, 'Just by watching you, I felt like I could be myself, too.' It reminded me that my visibility is not just about me,' says Zeesh. 'It is also about others who have not yet found their voice,' they add. Their social media is now a safe space for young queer folks seeking softness, power, and joy. 'I am not just a force, but also a feeling. I am meant to be held, to be loved, to be human,' Zeesh tells us.

Tamil script weaves a new identity in fashion
1 2 3 4 5 In Tamil Nadu, language has always been a hot topic. Now, it's haute as well. Case in point: Chennai-based designer Vivek Karunakaran's latest collection Idam (Tamil for 'place'), which debuted in Feb at the FDCI India Men's Week in Jaipur, featuring the Tamil script as individual letters and complete Thirukkural couplets. Karunakaran says the collection began as a tribute to the city, but from there, the thread of the narrative evolved into a celebration of identity, "an unapologetic expression of who we are and where we come from". He adds that the collection is being expanded to include women's wear. "It's declaration of pride." In one look, Karunakaran has a verse of the Kural block-printed on a jacket paired with Korean pants. "We've gone beyond just printing the alphabet to creating meaningful designs," says Karunakaran, whose clothes are priced between Rs 6,000 and Rs 60,000. Designers from outside Tamil Nadu too are scripting the language into their couture. In Mumbai, actor Sonam Kapoor was recently spotted in a cream saree designed by Masaba, which had the Tamil letters, 'th', 'na' and more in black and gold. "The Tamil script has a unique visual ap peal," says Karthiknathan S, a graphic designer who specialises in Tamil lettering. "With almost 216 distinct characters, there is a lot of visual diversity." He adds that when Tamil was adapted into a font, ascenders and descenders were adjusted for visual consistency. "As a result, words and sentences form patterns with varying heights and depths. Depending on the preceding or following letter, ascenders or descenders are altered, creating intriguing patterns. It pushes the possibilities of what can be done with the Tamil letter". This, perhaps, explains why Tamil-script clothes have been well received, even by those unfamiliar with the language, says Dubai-based designer Vino Supraja, who has incorporated it into her collection 'Purisai', named after the Purisai Nadaga Pairchi Palli, a therukoothu school founded by Kannapa Sambandhan Ayya, who was awarded the Padma Shri this year. She adds that the appeal is so universal that most of her clients for the collection are Emiratis and Singaporeans, not Tamilians. "After our London Fashion Week show, the script became a conversation starter. It gave us a chance to discuss Tamil language, therukoothu, and Purisai's cultural richness. The Tamil script is the visual anchor," says Supraja, who grew up in Vandavasi, 10km from Purisai, where her father served as a doctor. Supraja also wore a saree featuring the school's name in her handwriting when she received the Glob al Sustainable Trailblazer Award recently at the House of Commons. Mayank Bhutra, a designer from Rajasthan raised in Erode (which is why he has named his brand Erode), says using the Tamil script in his clothes is about celebrating the place where he grew up. "We're in the process of developing our own typeface for the clothes, blending Tamil and English in a contemporary design," says Bhutra, who adds that as a child, he saw Jamakalam weavers at work and was fascinated. When he returned to the craft as an adult, he realised that despite years of tradition and a GI tag, there were no new designs or patterns. And that, he adds, was when he decided to help script Jamakalam a "contemporary identity".
