America needs to get ruthless again. Not Chinese ruthless. Not honey trap ruthless. Not stealing secrets ruthless. Not Xi Jinping ruthless. Not barbarous Putin ruthless. But values ruthless. Comparative advantage ruthless. The way America used to be before it collapsed into being a society that's divided between groyper-losers and leftist-antisemite losers

@PremBhandariNYC You may have been lucky. Recent DEL-SFO was terrible. Cabin crew try their best, but the airplane was rickety. I don't know how those even fly! Tried Air India after bunch of years and it was terrible, even filed a complaint with them @airindia

16 hrs from DEL to SFO on @airindia feels like a flying scrap yard ✈️❌
Out of 45 seats in the cabin section, only TWO screen monitors worked. Seats were ripped, greased, and torn, and tray tables were totally broken.

@airindia @TataCompanies @MoCA_GoI The crew tried their best, but no hospitality fixes a broken hard product.
​WiFi ("Vista") ran on overhead batteries replaced by crew—only 1 crew member knew how! It died constantly. No wonder passengers got entire rows to themselves.

@airindia Yes you did. Only confirming that message has been forwarded. While I understand it may take bit time, I hope you fix your age old fleet

[parvatikar_real @one_moreopinion]

@airindia @TataCompanies @MoCA_GoI I will hold my breath to see if you genuinely choose to upgrade your decades old teetering airplanes

[parvatikar_real @one_moreopinion]

@airindia @TataCompanies @MoCA_GoI I love the direct flights, the caring service. I hope you fix your equipment. And please restart the SFO-BLR option. The Calcutta refuel stop is ridiculous. Get your act together.
DMes you as well

@airindia @TataCompanies @MoCA_GoI @TataCompanies promised an Air India transformation, yet flagship direct routes like DEL-SFO are treated like dumping grounds.
When will Indian long-haul aviation open up to real competition? Passengers deserve better.

@BloomsburyIndia @DalrympleWill @DalrympleWill I’ve been tuning in for over a year and really value your perspective! One thing that would take the show to the next level is nailing the pronunciation of people and places. It’s a bit jarring at the moment, but a tiny bit more prep would make the episodes perfect

DEVELOPING (CNN) Air traffic control equipment outages are halting flights to *both* major airports in Dallas. The FAA has instituted ground stops for DFW and DAL until 5 p.m. CDT.

LiveATC audio captures issues with radar—and radio frequencies—at Dallas TRACON.

[parvatikar_real @one_moreopinion]

All flights stopped. Why? I read ATC down due to Telephone operator outage #atc #DFW #faa

#AskYunusWhy
The bay area in California witnessed billboards coming up with the question "AskYunusWHY" to Mohammad Yunus.
Persecution of Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and other minorities in Bangladesh has risen dramatically since Yunus came into power - (1/2)

I am speechless! (For once, hehe). I never imagined that we would actually be able to share our symbol like this, nevermind that an American police department would be so thoughtful in protecting and educating its township. Thank you infinitely to the Hindu Americans advocacy groups that do all the work every day to make this possible. I am so grateful to you 🙏🏽

Some years ago, an online interfaith event was organized by a Christian pastor on the theme of art in different religions. I was asked to present on Hinduism while others spoke on Christianity & Buddhism. When my turn came, I spoke about the iconography of Ardhnarishwara. I explained the Hindu (Shaiva-Shakta) understanding of the inseparable nature of the divine feminine and masculine; the composite of dynamism and stillness. I briefly refered to how the Hindu understanding of the Divine Feminine was at complete variance from the Male God principle of Christianity and other Abrahamic religions. As I showed slide after slide of Ardhanarishwara sculptures and paintings, I also showed my necklace pendant with Ardhnarishwara that I wore on the day. The audience was visibly affected, especially the women, and one of them said "This is so modern! I had no idea this existed in Hinduism". After the speeches, the participants were asked to go into different breakout rooms to discuss the points made. The keynote speakers were supposed to stay in the main room. However, I quickly jumped into one of the breakout rooms (to the shock of the pastor who was the moderator) and found the members were all discussing my presentation. They were astonished to see me there and started asking me questions about Hinduism and India. I had fun answering them. One Jew said he felt very repelled by the idea of idol worship. I asked him why, and whether it could be because of brainwashing from childhood. As I was explaining about murti puja, suddenly the pastor crashed into the room and requested me to return to the main room. It almost felt as if he was nervous that I would convert them to Hinduism 😂😂😂. Finally, when everyone came back to the main room, they said they did not have enough time to discuss Buddhism or Christianity because they were so fascinated by the Ardhanarishwara concept. Just a 15 mins talk by me on Ardhnarishwara had fired their imagination so much! I remembered what @RajivMessage ji had once said about how easily all the yoga and meditation gurus who came to America in the last 100 years could have converted people to Hinduism. They had an absolutely mesmerized audience but chose to adopt the classic Hindu worldview of pluralism and a distaste for proselytization. It has only worked to our detriment. Our generosity and kindness did not win us any brownie points; it only paved the way for erasing Hindu contributions to knowledge.
