Food delivery platform Zomato on Sunday asked its customers to avoid ordering food during the peak afternoon hours. The post is being seen in connection with intense heatwave conditions across the country. Several states of the country are witnessing record-breaking temperatures for the past few days, and the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted that the scorching heat conditions will continue for the next few days. However, Delhi residents took a sigh of relief on Saturday as light drizzle reduced the temperatures.

“pls avoid ordering during peak afternoon unless absolutely necessary,” Zomato said in a post on social media platform X, drawing a strong response from users on internet.

The request came as a way to prevent the delivery executives of Zomato from riding their bikes in intense heat to deliver the orders.

How social media reacted?

The internet wasn't thrilled with Zomato's idea, as most users pointed out that the food delivery company can not ask customers to avoid delivering food during lunch hours. The netizens said that if they care so much about their delivery executives, the company can simply hold the delivery services during the peak afternoon hours.

"Bro, you are in food services and people order food when it is absolutely necessary. If you actually care about your employees, you would be posting “Our services are unavailable during peak afternoon hours,” one user said. "Is it even real? Though I appreciate the concern, lunchtime orders cannot be postponed to dinner time. If so, Zomato needs to identify "absolutely necessary" orders and not-so-necessary orders," another user said.

“Please close the business for 4 hours 12-4 PM , that would be right approach,” a third one suggested. “Wow a food delivery app asking its customers not to order in the afternoon, what about those who stays alone? If you’re really that concerned about the well being of the delivery guys, increase their incentives, you guys already charge Platform fee on every order to pay Goyal’s bills,” one more said.

A star outshines an entire galaxy in NASA's latest image captured by Hubble Telescope. See pic

Snapshot of the star that stood out in the galaxy. © Provided by Deepak kumar blogs N ASA never fails to amaze us with wonderful pictures of the stars and the galaxy. This time, the space agency shared an image of a single star that stole the show. The image was captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and shows a star and a galaxy that are in the constellation Lacerta (The Lizard). Elaborating on this celestial marvel, NASA explained, "The star is a million times closer to us than the galaxy, which lies more than 45 million light-years away. This relative closeness is the only way a star can outshine an entire galaxy containing billions of stars." They further added, "This star is what astronomers call a 'foreground star,' and it's a bit of a nuisance. Its light can contaminate fainter light from more distant objects that astronomers want to study." Talking more about the foreground stars, NASA shared, "In a technique called microlensing,...

NASA's Hubble Telescope captures mesmerising colourful eruption of a 'stellar volcano'

NASA's Hubble Telescope captures mesmerising colourful eruption of a 'stellar volcano' T he cosmos has once again dazzled us! The Hubble Space Telescope recently revealed a striking image of two stars locked in a fascinating dance. This captivating nebula showcases the intricate relationship of these celestial neighbours, a tale centuries in the making. The hourglass-shaped nebula forms from the interaction between two distinct stars. One is a compact white dwarf, while the other is a massive red giant. This red giant is over 400 times larger than our sun and has a brightness that fluctuates over a 387-day cycle. Located about 710 light-years from Earth, this star system is called R Aquarii. It is classified as a symbiotic variable star, a term that mirrors biological symbiosis. This means two different stars exist close together and interact continuously.
