When I came to the United States, my flatmate was an Indian girl. She had run out of money and could not pay two months' rent. I paid her rent, not as a loan, but simply to help her. She was studying on institutional funding and relied on part time work to cover her living expenses. Unfortunately, she broke her leg. Her family are farmers from Gujarat, India, and she believed she would have to return home and freeze her semester because she had no savings left.
For those two months, I paid her rent, cooked her meals, and even changed my room to make the apartment more accessible while she recovered. She recently graduated and returned back to India.
In our culture, talking publicly about the financial help we give to others is considered inappropriate. But after reading your tweet, I felt compelled to say this that no one should treat another human being this way, regardless of whether they are Pakistani, Indian, or from anywhere else.
What saddened me most was your decision to deny food to a passenger simply because he introduced himself that he was a Pakistani.
Even if you did that, you should not have come to Twitter and shared it as though it were an achievement. If your parents were to read this tweet, I believe they would feel ashamed, because this is not the kind of compassion or humanity they would have hoped to instill in you.
Here's an Irish sporting achievement that deserves to be celebrated. Ireland, population 7.1 million with about as many cricket players as would fill a stand at Lord's, have beaten India with 1.4 billion people at their national game. Kudos.

Following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED. Both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
The official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland.
We would like to thank the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran for their commitment to finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict. We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to our brothers in this mediation effort, the great leadership of State of Qatar, for their support in reaching this agreement. I would also especially thank the visionary leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Republic of Türkiye for their immense contributions in this regard.
With the agreement now in place, mediators will facilitate a series of meetings this week. These pre-implementation discussions will lay the foundation for the technical talks and the official signing ceremony.
