Reading and writing may be the most powerful “brain exercise.”

Not all hobbies train your mind the same way.

Research scholars are already in despair due to no hike in Non-NET Fellowship amidst rising inflation. Now, many JRF fellows face severe financial strain due to delays in fellowship disbursement. Urging @ugc_india, @mamidala90 to address these pressing concerns immediately!

हज़रत इमाम हुसैन की शहादत का पैगाम यह है कि हर स्थिति में हक़ और इंसाफ के लिए खड़ा होना है, चाहे इसकी कोई भी क़ीमत चुकानी पड़े, ईमान का तकाज़ा यही है, ���ज़लूमों की एकता कायम करना और ज़ालिम के आगे सर नही झुकाना।
आइए! हज़रत इमाम हुसैन की शहादत से प्रेरणा लेते हुए हम सभी हक़ और इंसाफ की राह में डटे रहे और अपने देश की रक्षा व शोषित वंचित मज़लूम समाज की आवाज़ बुलंद करें।

Just heard Arnab say Arundhati Roy made "speaking against India a career option when her books failed". An interesting fact about THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS, which won the 1997 Booker Prize—it's been translated in over 40 languages and has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide.

[Siddharth @DearthOfSid]

“We don’t speak from a position of hate; we speak from a position of absolute love. And that is why we fight so hard.”

Arundhati Roy on her love for India.

Being nice takes a lot of effort and energy.
Now I understand why women at our homes are mostly angry or irritated. It's just that they are tired -perpetually tired.
