Exactly a year after I bought the “new” @Apple MacBook Pro from @RelianceDigital, the laptop has decided to die on me. No water damage, no physical damage, but @AppleSupport has no idea what happened. Now expecting me to shell out 45k to do something they think “might help”.

A most confusing and misleading article in @the_hindu saying Hindi has connected Manipur to the mainland! Incorrect totally. The Manipuri to Hindi literary translation is just that, a literary exercise

Women are not spared trolling even in times of grief. When does the policing end? All I see in the picture is a brave woman who just lost her life partner. 💔 #MandiraBedi

According to a survey by Pew Research, 67% Indians said that it is important to stop women from marrying outside their community.

My two cent on the ongoing ‘Sikh-Kashmiri women conversion’ issue:

The most important is the consent and choice of the women. In the entire brawl the voice of the women have been severely neglected. No effort has been made by anyone to know the consent of the women involved.

The rise in COVID cases due to the administrator’s decision to relax restrictions is proof enough that this administration will be incompetent and unhealthy for the future of Lakshadweep #SaveLakshadweep #RevokeLDAR #StandWithLakshadweep

Lakshadweep’s ecosystem deserves more. Listen to the demands of the people. #SaveLakshadweep #RevokeLDAR #StandWithLakshadweep @prafulkpatel @PMOIndia @rashtrapatibhvn

What about the rights of the fisherman community? Lakshadweep is not a big city where people can be relocated nearby. They will have to move to the mainland. They have not been consulted and most islanders are clueless

India could learn from Lakshadweep on what it is doing right. Policies of enforcing a 2child norm, come bundled with other gender-unfriendly policies & mindsets that burden women disproportionatelyend up treating them as chattel.#SaveLakshadweep. #RevokeLDAR #StandWithLakshadweep

Lakshadweep islands is environmentally sensitive area. Lakshadweep panchayats have been overrided. The measures forced upon the islands will threaten not just the social harmony but also ecology and human rights of the people #SaveLakshadweep. #RevokeLDAR #StandWithLakshadweep

We challenge the implementation of the Constitutionally unsound Draft Lakshadweep Development Authority Regulation 2021 (LDAR), Prevention of Anti-Social Activities Act (PASA) which go against the spirit of a sovereign, socialist, secular and democratic India #SaveLakshadweep
