Excerpt. New poem.
Moods:Geeks and Freaks: https://t.co/RE1nE1Lena
सिर्फ़ ढाई अक्षर पर कितना गूढ़ है ये शब्द
प्रेम, प्यार, मोहब्बत
मतलब 'स्व' को त्याग कर
समो दो अपने अस्तित्व को अपने प्रेमी में
ये दुनिया ये समाज, हमारी प्रथाएं - परम्पराएं यही तो उम्मीद करती हैं
#Hindi

@hridayeshjoshi By choosing to use passive voice, he chose to avoid putting the blame of killing the sailors on the USA.
Diplomacy? Really?

[Seema Taneja @SeeTan96]

@nimishdubey Agree fully. Women may love to cook for family but they also need rest.
When I visited my son, he had already prepared fresh breakfast, lunch was also cooked and stored in the fridge. Neither I nor my DIL (when she returned from her week long office trip) had to do any cooking.

Hey @InstamartS @Flipkart @amazonIN @bigbasket_com @letsblinkit your paper delivery bags are sturdy and good to be reused. How about taking them back? Customers can save the unsoiled ones and your delivery agents can collect them next time. What say?

Illegal dyeing units running openly in Fauji Colony, a residential area. These Red Category industries operate without ETP, dumping toxic chemical effluents straight into the drain that flows into the Yamuna River. Residents are forced to breathe poisonous air while the river dies. Why is no action being taken? @DPCC_Pollution @MCD_Delhi @DelhiJalBoard @gupta_rekha @LtGovDelhi @p_sahibsingh

So true

A grumpy man can control a family without ever raising his voice. He just has to make his displeasure expensive enough. A long silence at dinner. A ruined car ride. Soon, everyone starts pre-adjusting. The kids are told “not now” before they can ask. She chooses the restaurant he likes, the movie he won’t complain through, the route that avoids traffic because traffic makes him unbearable. This is how a household becomes organized around one person’s refusal to regulate themselves.

Hey @Swiggy your instamart delivery agent brings half the order, support executive refunds half the due amount, executive on phone call fails to provide any resolution. Chat window is closed. Do you really care?

[Seema Taneja @SeeTan96]

@SwiggyCares Hello @SwiggyCares am still waiting for your response and resolution of my complaint.

[Seema Taneja @SeeTan96]

@SwiggyCares Have DM'd the order id

[Seema Taneja @SeeTan96]

@SwiggyCares This despite explaining clearly the number of items ordered and the amount paid. I have been refunded only 54 rupees instead of 108 that i had paid.

[Seema Taneja @SeeTan96]

@SwiggyCares Ordered 2 combos of 6 ltr Clear mineral water cans. 4 cans. One combo delivered. Customer care agent refunded for 1 can not for a combo of 2 cans. Conversation window closed.
Agent on phone call asked me (after 10 minutes) to go to chat again. Conversation window closed again.

Gandhi was frustrated that even while protesting the British, every time a freedom fighter signed a document, they were using Quink (Parker)/Stephens (British) ink. He saw it as a symbolic defeat. Gandhi personally asked Satish Chandra Dasgupta (a legendary chemist, I will write separately about him) to create an ink that would not betray Indian paper.

Satish Chandra did not want to run a business, so he passed the formula (Krishna Dhara) to 2 brothers, Nanigopal & Sankaracharya Maitra in Rajshahi (now Bangladesh). They started Sulekha (named by Tagore) in a small room with a single stove.

British inks of the 1930s were notorious for being Iron-Gall based. These were highly acidic. If you look at British-era documents today, many have holes where the ink was the acid literally ate through the paper over 50 yrs. The Maitra brothers realized that Indian paper (often handmade/low-quality) would disintegrate under British ink.

They engineered Sulekha to be pH-neutral. They used a secret infusion of tannins from indigenous sources & refined them to ensure the ink was archival. The reason many 1940s Indian revolutionary pamphlets are still readable today, w/o the paper crumbling, is specifically due to the non-corrosive chemistry of Sulekha.

Also, Satyajit Ray, who was a master calligrapher (he designed his own fonts like Ray Roman), preferred Sulekha because of its Matte-Finish density.

@tanejamainhoon Your posts are always so heartwarming and heart touching. The grief of losing our parents never leaves us, it stays with us even if in a corner of our hearts. Hope Noor's love brings you solace and strength. Love and blessings on her first birthday. Give our best wishes to Sagar.

@ravish_journo @JournoSanjeev कहने में अच्छा तो नहीं लग रहा पर धीरे धीरे पत्रकारों के लिए भी पकौड़े तलने की नौबत आ गई है।
