@CyprusinIndia Hello, I have sent an urgent email and have been trying to call but can’t get through. Can you please let me know the best phone number or email address at which to contact the consulate?

@ranjithoskote Hi Ranjit, I hope you're well. I want to reach out to you about a book project my colleague Meher and I are working on. We're both PhD candidates at Princeton. Could you follow me back so I can DM you? Thanks!

[Aliya Ram @aliya__ram]

@_WizzAirX__ Hi I have followed back but not received a response via DM?

[Aliya Ram @aliya__ram]

@wizzair We have a complex situation where our bag that was left at Larnaca Airport was sent to Katowice Airport by your staff. We have called various numbers but can't get through to the right person. Can you please urgently tell us how to contact someone who can help?

[Aliya Ram @aliya__ram]

@britishlibrary Great, thank you! It seems to be in the St. Pancras collection so I will come by.

[Aliya Ram @aliya__ram]

@britishlibrary Thanks! How can I contact them to check if the book is available before making the trip?

@ICICIBank_Care Hi, I'm not receiving the OTP I need to authorise a transaction. My number hasn't changed, can you help?

@liamhegan Hi love, i want you to know how much we’re all rooting for you both. I’m sorry it’s such hell. I believe you’re going to find your way, even if not in the way you initially expected. You’ve got life on your side, let it in through whatever little chinks you find in the tunnel 😘

Breaking the social silence to thank everyone who attended the conference Shivani Shedde and I organized this past week at Princeton—'Troubling Times: South Asia and the Postcolonial'
