A couple of months ago, my son bombarded me with historical trivia from one of Mini Menon’s books. Impressed by the facts, we sent her fan mail. She asked for our address back then, and guess what came via Rapido today? The next book in the series. Thank you, @MiniMenon. ❤️

Is this for real? New OCI forms for foreign spouses requires certified birth certificates of their great grand parents as well...

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

Looking forward to this one...

There is such beauty in Indian artisanal works and there is added magic when it's connected with history. Love this instalation at B'lore's T2. Its inspired by the architecture and motifs of Hampi.

Thankfully @Olacabs @ola_supports have responded positively. I do hope action is taken. It is so disturbing for those of us who use these car rides to catch up on work

@MiniMenon @Olacabs @ola_supports Yeah Mini, it's the norm in Benguluru Uber is slightly better...👍 Even those Rapido bike guys in there no exception..u👍

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

@ola_supports As someone who has had only Ola and used it for years in Mumbai and Delhi I do hope you act on this feedback.

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

What's with drivers @Olacabs @ola_supports in Bengaluru They are perpetually on phone calls through the ride. This is specific to this city. Not in Mumbai, Delhi or anywhere else. Is Uber the same? Are there no rules around driving and talking on the phone here?

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

@ola_supports Thanks for the reply. Am not able to DM you You can get me on 9820178129. Would really be good if you can have some training for your drivers. It's just bad manners for a driver to be constantly talking on the phone for the entire trip. I face this every time I take an Ola!

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

Great to hear this! Have often wondered why no one has written about him... Fascinating man and what a body of work he has left behind.

[Narayani Basu @narayani_basu]

OKAY OKAY! This is now REAL and while I'm nervous as hell and while the world is burning, I'm still really excited because this has been 5 years & a pandemic in the making.

Preorders for the biography of KM Panikkar are open! Available at bookstores near you & online! ✨

Tomorrow marks the death anniversary of Rani Lakshmibai. Everytime I come across her image I think of the little boy she had strapped to her back as she fought. Here is an old LHI classic on what happened to him... https://t.co/00rs5fODnX

[Raj Nayak @rajcheerfull]

@MiniMenon @airindia @TataCompanies Is he back ?

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

@Amitabh76Singh Thank you 😊

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

How nice to see the quirky old Maharaja make a come back. I had done a class project on him when I was 8!!! @airindia @TataCompanies

[Mini Menon @MiniMenon]

Sad to hear of the passing of Historian Dr. M G S Narayanan. Thankful to have had the chance to spend time with him over the years, learning so much. His book on The Perumals of Kerala remains the most authoritative study of this formative phase of Kerala's history. RIP

4/ This Women’s Day, let’s move beyond just celebrating success stories.

We must acknowledge, support, and uplift the millions of women who are shaping India’s craft economy.

It’s time to count them in.

#WomenWeavingChange #CraftingFutures #InternationalWomensDay

3/ Yet, despite their contributions, most women artisans remain invisible in India’s workforce.

The government counts 7 million crafters in the country. The real number? 200 million. A lot of them are women.
