@billiwaligf It was rude remark, unwarranted. I felt embarrassed but didn’t say anything at that time. Told my reporting officer about this incident and he told me to never contact her again. How can I hate men when they make my working envt safe and welcoming
@billiwaligf Met my senior female officer couple of months ago and she was ready to eat me alive. She said in front of everyone that I should use good sunscreen because I was shading my face with my hand.
@billiwaligf I have talked about this before but this is my biggest fear. I don’t want to become like them. Kind of crazy how my inspiration are my male officers despite our field being very male dominated. I should look up to females but they make it so difficult to admire them
Most post partum care in this country is done by the maternal grandmother. Pregnant women are shipped off there right after first trimester and comes back months after birth to do free labour again. The middle man in this situation is sasural as a concept.
FAQs on Rabies:
1. Once developed, rabies is 100% fatal.
2. Which animals can transmit it: Any warm-blooded animal. Dogs are the most common source. But cats, monkeys, bats, camels, and even pigs can also transmit it.
3. Mode of transmission: Bite; lick on broken skin or mucosa (like eyes, nose, or mouth); scratches if the claws are contaminated with saliva; or saliva splashing into the eyes or mouth.
4. Incubation: Rabies symptoms usually appear in 1 to 3 months but can show up as early as a few days or as late as a year, depending on the bite site and virus load. Once symptoms start, it's too late.
5. What to do immediately after a bite, scratch, or lick: Wash the wound with soap and running water for 15 minutes. Then apply an antiseptic like betadine. This step alone can greatly reduce the chance of infection.
6. When to see a doctor: As soon as possible.
7. What if the animal is vaccinated: It doesn't matter. Vaccination is good and reduces the risk but doesn’t eliminate it completely, especially when pet vaccination in India is not uniformly regulated
8. Vaccination, immunoglobulin, or both: For academic interest only :
Category I (licks on intact skin, animal sniffing, contact without bite/scratch) generally requires nothing except washing.
Category II (nibbling, minor scratches without bleeding) requires vaccination.
Category III (deep bites, multiple wounds, licking on broken skin, or bites on head/face/genitals) requires both vaccination and immunoglobulin.
BUT YOU DON’T DECIDE WHICH CATEGORY YOU FALL UNDER OR WHAT TREATMENT YOU NEED. EVEN CATEGORY I EXPOSURE SHOULD BE SHOWN TO A DOCTOR. LET YOUR DOCTOR, AND NOT YOU, DECIDE WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU.
9. Specially for parents: Kids may downplay licks and minor scratches as harmless. So, educate them. Explain the risks and emphasize that they should never hide any contact with dogs from you.
Once Pakistan repairs its airbases, fills the chinks in its armour, gets its arsenal replenished, there will be another terror attack and we will have to go to war again. The ceasefire is not tenable. This peace pipe is cancer.
The only W is our defense systems.
They work, and they are brilliant.
Apart from that, it was a sad story. Lots of civilian and army lives lost, terrorists still alive, terrible PR, diplomatic L, couldn't stop IMF funding them, PoK still with them.
What exactly did we gain?
Pakistan Defence Minister says, If necessary, we will use the children of madrasa for war, they are our second line of defence.
PS: Many Terror training camps are operated in guise of Madrassas in Pakistan
May the Gods be with our armed forces, our leaders and all our fellow citizens in the border areas.
Keep everyone safe and give everyone strength and calm to deal with this relentless provocation.
Jai Jagannath 🙏🏽
From a North Indian:
I have heard this a lot from some of my own people too. A few years ago, the zeitgeist on social media that many of them were busy perpetuating was: "I have more in common with people across Wagah than across Yamuna."
But I always wonder — what exactly is this “commonality” people keep talking about? What do you think culture consists of? And what parts of culture are you actually comparing?
* Birth, marriage, and death rituals? Completely different.
* Kinship structures and social organization? Worlds apart.
* Folklores and myths? Entirely different narratives and heroes.
* Beliefs, values, norms? No commonality.
* Religion and spirituality? Well, that's obvious — and that alone transforms the entire meaning of life, death, society, and beyond.
What other components of culture do people think are common?
At best, the only thing that still looks a little similar is the language — and even that, as I posted a few days ago, is evolving very differently now on both sides of the border. Vocabulary, tone, slang, even the emotional flavor of words are moving in separate directions.
Now compare all of this with people across Yamuna or people in the South!
So next time someone casually says "we have so much in common," maybe you realize the so-called “commonality” is more nostalgia than reality.
Progressivism is always more concerned about the (rational, objective) reaction to a crime than about the crime itself. In fact, it looks at a criminal event and finds itself squarely in the condition and plight of the criminal.
It's more concerned about "hate" (i.e. drawing obvious and rational conclusions from a targeted religious hate crime. A fact and reality that has been corroborated by multiple survivors) coming out of the crime than the actual crime itself.
This way of looking at the world is simply unfit for having any responsibility. It is an inversion of all that is just and right in the world. And these people should have 0 inputs in governing and managing a serious society.
