@DashS1 @FastandUp_India @delhivery Yeah, I uploaded the videos and pictures of the products, sent an email to both the parties. Fastnup verified and sent the actual products quickly. Delhivery were no help.

@FastandUp_India and @delhivery - I received an incorrect product and have been able to reach neither company for a resolution. I've shared the unboxing video on the @delhivery app but an automated msg asked me to connect with @FastandUp_India. Please help me resolve this ASAP.

Vibes?

I was sitting in a Starbucks in Kyoto working on my laptop. A college-aged girl approached me looking nervous.

She asked in very careful English "excuse me, may I practice English with you?"

I said sure. She sat down with a notebook full of prepared questions. "Where are you from?" "How long in Japan?" "What is your job?" All written out in advance.

We talked for about 30 minutes. Her English was okay but she kept apologizing for mistakes.

I told her she didn't need to apologize, she was doing great. She said "but I have studied English for 10 years. Should be better."

I asked why she was so focused on learning English. She said she wanted to be a translator, specifically for international disaster relief.

"When the tsunami happened in 2011, many foreign rescue teams came to help. But communication was difficult. I was only 12 but I remember seeing foreign helpers looking confused, Japanese people looking confused. Everyone wanted to help but could not understand each other."

She said "I decided then I will be bridge. So people who want to help can help."

I told her that was one of the best reasons to learn a language I'd ever heard.

She smiled. "My English teacher says I should practice business English for a better job. But I don't want a business job. I want to help people when they are scared."

We talked for another hour. When she left, she bowed and said "thank you for practice. You are my teacher today."

I said no, she taught me something. She looked confused. I said "you taught me that language learning can be about something bigger than business."

I borrowed an umbrella from my Airbnb host in Kyoto. I forgot to return it when I checked out, and realized when I was already on the train to Osaka.

I felt terrible. It was a nice umbrella, not a cheap one. I messaged the host apologizing.

She responded: "No problem! Enjoy the umbrella. It's yours now."

I said I'd mail it back. She said "please don't. Postage costs more than an umbrella. Just use it and think of Kyoto when it rains."

I insisted I wanted to return it. She said "okay, but I have a different idea. Next time you see someone who needs an umbrella and doesn't have one, give them this umbrella. Tell them to do the same when they are finished with it. Maybe an umbrella travels all around Japan helping people."

That idea was so beautiful I agreed.

Two weeks later I was in Hiroshima and it started pouring. A woman with a baby was standing under an awning looking stressed. No umbrella, the baby was crying.

I walked over and gave her the umbrella. Told her the story in broken Japanese. She understood enough.

She tried to refuse but I insisted. Told her "when you're done with it, give it to someone else who needs it."

She nodded, said thank you about ten times, and hurried off with her baby.

I got soaked walking back to my hotel but felt good about it.

Sometimes I wonder where that umbrella is now. Hope it's still traveling, still helping people.

@sunandavashisht I think it's best to let people share their tributes in their own words. Art touches people differently, and their feelings shouldn't be scoffed at, just because they haven't articulated it 'well enough' in someone's opinion. We all loved her. Let us say we bow to her versatility

@banglani Damn, thia is the most relatable thing I've read in a while! Same same
