Went down this rabbit hole & learnt something new.
Long before terrazzo became a luxury trend in Europe & US, Indian craftsmen were hand-casting, curing, grinding, & polishing these floors for homes, schools, railway stations, and government buildings.
Process to make them is interesting.
Waste broken marble chips are mixed with cement, cast into place, cured, then ground & polished multiple times until stone beneath comes alive. Every floor ends up with its own unique pattern. No two are ever identical.
Beautiful engineering imo. And sustainable. Terrazzo is making a comeback!
Now, every time I see mosaic flooring, I'll be reminded that India has always had world-class manufacturing hiding in plain sight.
Dear @SwiggyCares - we would like you to confirm here that you refunded the money to your delivery partner and compensated him for harassment. Otherwise we customers would seriously think of switching off.
“I work the front desk at a small doctor’s office, and I wish people could see what happens on the other side of the phone.
Every day, older patients call us confused.
They are told to use the patient portal, upload documents, check lab results online, fill out forms before the visit, and confirm everything through a link.
Some of them do not know what a portal is.
Some do not have a smartphone.
Some have one, but they are afraid to click the wrong thing.
Last week, a man in his late 80s called about his test results.
He said, “Ma’am, I don’t mean to bother you, but the computer says I have a message and I don’t know how to open it.”
He sounded ashamed.
That broke my heart.
He should not have to feel ashamed for needing a human being.
Technology can be helpful. I understand that.
But when people who built this country are made to feel helpless because everything became a login and a password, we have gone too far.
Not everything needs to be an app.
Not every answer should be hidden behind a screen.
Sometimes people need a voice.
A patient person.
A real human who says, “Don’t worry, I can help you.”
Progress should not leave seniors behind.
Because one day, the world will move faster than us too.
And I hope someone is kind enough to slow down.

Imagine Shivaji Maharaj, but he's having simultaneous discussions with Aurangzeb and Adilshah about merging his kingdom. Plus his children own property in Persia so they can move there anytime. That is Sharad Pawar.
Things that DO inherently sexualize children:
* telling parents they’ll have to “beat boys off with a stick” when looking at a BABY girl
* asking children if they have a “little boyfriend” or “little girlfriend”
* putting a baby boy in a “Ladies Man” onesie
Things that do NOT inherently sexualize children:
* teaching children that adults can be romantically partnered with people of the same or different genders
Hope that helps.

My biggest pet peeve about this whole debate is.
Why are upper class people who don’t even send their kids to govt schools are so much raged about this issue?
Whats the underlying issue? Why are you so emotionally invested in this ? Where is this all anger and frustration coming from ?
You obviously didn’t care when there were worms found inside the food ? You didn’t care when Teachers were stealing the food ?
So why do you care about eggs now ?
