I offered my househelp to start sleep in my room in AC for a few days when it was really hot last week. I discovered yesterday that madam is now in AC whole day when I am at work 🙆‍♀️ Such kinda incidents happened to me even in office and at home earlier also when they take our kindness as their entitlement.

Absolutely! India is not perfect. Biggest challenges are corruption, pollution & basic infra BUT ppl questioning #IndianDemocracy show their ignorance, may be stupidity level too. With diverse diversity at all levels in a country of this size, it's doin quite decently, really.

In defense of Indian 🇮🇳 democracy!

During Prime Minister Narendra Modi most successful visit to Norway a minor incident happened. A Norwegian journalist demanded that the prime minister starts holding press conferences. She claimed that Indian democracy is in bad shape.

May be its time to pause? May be its time to be a bit curious to the world’s largest democracy?

Two weeks ago five Indian states and territories held elections. The turn out in the battlefield state of West Bengal was 94%. In the last local election in Norway it was 62%, in many European local elections turn out is below 50%. Can voting in massive numbers be a signal Indians trust their democratic process?

In the same election BJP won big in Assam and West Bengal. It lost even bigger in Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Can this diversity be a signal that Indian democracy is reflecting the will of the people?

The journalist referred to a democracy ranking putting India at 157 in the world, behind many dictatorships and deeply troubled states. When a ranking is so obviously contrary to common sense, why not ask critical questions to those making the ranking rather than demand that leaders shall comment on nonsense? I recommend Salvatore Babones book “Dharma democracy”. The book debunks convincingly the flawed methodology of these rankings.

It was referred to a ranking claiming it’s very dangerous to be a journalist in India. Reality is that it is more dangerous to be journalist in the US and far more dangerous in the vast majority of other nations in the world.

Let’s be real. India is not perfect. Of course there are incidents. India has a population the size of North America, South America and Europe combined. But India is much more peaceful than Europe or the Americas. That’s remarkable - given the ethnic, language and religious diversity of India and the many development challenges.

Unless we consider democracy a form of government only suited for some very small, peaceful and homogeneous Western European nations, may be we should commend Indian democracy?

India is the only major former UK colony which became and has remained a democracy. Its sometimes claimed that the Brits taught India democracy. If that was the case why isn’t Myanmar or Pakistan or the Gulf kingdoms democracies??? Reality is that Indian democracy is both homegrown and extraordinary successful.

@theskindoctor13 I thought I was the only one who used to find this absolutely absurd & nonsensical specially when we have so many fruits bearing or dense trees that provide so much needed respite from harsh weather. Palm Trees solve no purpose except a green spot up in the sky!

@ShefVaidya @kvicindia @Fabindanews Worst is they lie about the Indian handicraft work. They sell machine embroidery in the name of chikankari!! I felt so cheated when I bought one from them & a few of my Lucknowi friends pointed it out later. Never bought anything from them after that.

@theskindoctor13 I watched @akshaykumar starred Laxmi recently (still wondering why🤦‍♀️). Did anyone notice how a pandit showed his incapability to ward off evil spirit & was mocked at but a Peer baba did that effortlessly, whom family had much faith on. It was madked behind comedy but was evident

@neetipalta This is insensitive. War can never be a joke

[Free Spirit @FreeSpirit_RM]

I am a #Gurugram resident & I bet this. There's no guarantee u will even return alive in Ggn. U never know if any moron has a gun or is just frustrated with insane traffic or is sucked up in his job & u may just become a victim of their wrath! I always thank God when I reach home.

@SpHighway @dtcphry @NayabSainiBJP @MunCorpGurugram Repeated encroachment in front of AVL-36A #gurugram High speed traffic on #SPRroad- high risk of accidents. Trucks & cars stop midway leading to blindspot in front of tea, puncture, dhaba shacks. कृपया शीघ्र यह अतिक्रमण हटवाये🙏

[surendra @surendr57096127]

Repeated violations of noise norms past 10 PM during promotion of ELAN Project, Sector 49, Sohna Road.
Multiple resident complaints, yet no effective enforcement.
Citizens deserve peace and rule of law.

Even 6 PCR vans personal were helpless and kept waiting outside, till the time residents of Uppal’s Southend reached, and urged them to move inside and stop the loud music

[surendra @surendr57096127]

See the audacity of organisers of ELAN group.
6 PCR vehicles stood outside the venue for over an hour — mute spectators.
Police were stopped from entering the venue.
Where is Gurugram administration headed?

@Dhimahi11 Maybe,her day was rough too (or not as expected), u never know! In my experience as a Social Emotional Learning Coach, most of the emotional outbursts are misplaced. People may say the right words, express their true feelings but at the wrong time or to the wrong person. Relax😊
