Noida parents, if you are struggling with schools shifting to online mode every now and again and need a permanent solution to this, please come to City Magistrates office, sector 19 Noida at 10:00 am on 22nd January 2026. We need your support in restoring the education system.
When the @dmgbnagar does not have a say in rising fees for private schools in #Noida, #UttarPardesh why are they controlling the closing of schools for winter, summer, rains, pollution?
Children have right to go to school for uninterrupted studies.

Children in Noida have been attending online classes for over a month now.
Is this the new norm? Where 3 and 4 year olds are subjected to hours of screen time.
I request authorities to consider this parentโs plea for a more nuanced approach to online/hybrid classes.
Endless school closures and forced online classes are robbing our children of real learning, confidence, routine, and a normal childhood.

Is it just me or are more and more deaths of acquaintances - colleagues who you had shared a desk with decades back, or friends a fruit chat with years ago, or family members a hug a few months previously - seem more on the rising?
In times of war, neutrality is not indifference.
It is a deliberate way of working to be able to help without taking sides, allowing us to reach those who need it most.
Why do we stay neutral in conflict zones?
Our organization was established under the Geneva Conventions, the most widely ratified treaties in the world with 196 countries signatories.
Today our mission remains the same: to help and protect people caught up in war and violence.
And, yes, this is the only time I find to get some reading done.
With a full-time job, a 3-year-old toddler (time to move on to calling him a pre-schooler) hogging my free time, and all of 2.5 friends who still garner some friendliness in me, 1 ams and 2 ams are my only me time.
Just finished gobbling up the Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold. It took me less than a month to finish the 19 books.
And, now my life feels bereft of Milesโ madness, Cordeliaโs critiques, Aralโs amazingness and Ivanโs ingenuity.
Barrayar, you will, strangely, be missed.
This also means that Iโm, officially, in the market for a new sci-fi/fantasy book series recommendation.
Preferably, extra long, finished, and ready to be devoured, and mere Kindle-clicks away.
Just a girl Redditing her way through book recommendations at this hour of the nite.
Congratulations to Hugh Kinsella Cunningham, the most recent winner of the ICRC's Humanitarian Visa dโor award for his remarkable work covering the plight of civilians living amid conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

This sounds a lot like the theory that as itโs unsafe for women, we prohibit women from venturing outside after dark.
Why are we not focusing on finding a solution? Making roads safe for women. Ensuring the safety of children swimming by making them, perhaps, wear life jackets.
Today in outrageous news, children under 10 years old cannot use swimming pools in societies in Noida.
Meanwhile, countries across the world insist on young children mandatorily learning to swim as a life skill.

Instead of ensuring the safety of young children swimming in society pools, we are stopping the young โuns from making use of the facilities.
Instead of issuing rules l, such as mandatory supervision of an adult, we are stopping children from participating in sports activities.
Woke up at 5.45 am to finish the last 30 minutes of reading Wool - the first book in @hughhoweyโs insanely masterpiece of a series.
(Started on Wool after I just couldnโt stop thinking of whatโs going to happen in the next episode of Silo!)
Next up: Shift
Onwards and upwards!
