I have been here 9 + years and I became eligible for the German passport a year back. I could have applied for citizenship a year ago, but I did not. I have thought about this a lot and I am increasingly coming to the conclusion that I can’t do this. Because I don’t feel German. I know it is only a document, but at the end of the day I am Indian and it would feel odd to become German.

I can’t relate to German stories, the history, the language and the culture. I can understand them, sure, but that is not the same as actually relating. I can blend in pretty easily in international culturally ambiguous settings in Berlin and scientific and tech circles but beyond that I can’t really integrate. I don’t feel anything when Germany loses or wins a football game. Sure I experience second hand happiness but beyond that nothing. An Indian World cup win would make me euphoric. And it would always be that way.

I see myself as a friend of Germany but never truly one of Germany. It is a subtle but important distinction.

But above all this, the most important thing is this: the moment I become a citizen I would be expected to align my ideals, values and ethos with those of Germany. And rightfully so. I, myself, wouldn’t feel comfortable being a new citizen and expect existing culture which has developed over centuries to adapt to my whims and fancies. I am perhaps too proud to enter such an unequal relationship.
In India, even if my opinions do not resonate with the overwhelming majority I feel entitled to stand my ground and try to nudge things towards what I feel. I am a part of India. My opinions are by definition Indian opinions. You may not like them, but fuck you, they are.

An Indian passport lets me have that entitlement. And inexplicably it matters a fucking lot to me.

#IndiGo’s flight disruptions continues for the third consecutive days leaving stranded passengers annoyed at major Indian airports. Many flights are cancelled while many others are delayed by hours due to new aviation norms that limit flying hours of crew, creating a shortage

[ANI @ANI]

The situation concerning the recent flight cancellations across India allegedly attributed to pilot shortage due to new Flight Duty Time Limit (FDTL) norms, raises significant questions about the airline's management, regulatory oversight by the DGCA, and market fairness. The core question is whether airlines’ current pilot shortage is due to a failure in planning or a calculated strategy. It is more likely a combination of factors...This situation points to a failure of proactive resource planning by dominant airlines, potentially exacerbated by an effort to pressurise the regulator to dilute the promulgated FDTL norms for commercial gain. ALPA India urges the DGCA to actively consider the adequacy of pilots available with an airline while granting slots and approving their schedules in the spirt of transitioning to the recent concept of Fatigue Risk Management System (FRMS): Airline Pilots’ Association of India,

[ANI @ANI]

An IndiGo Spokesperson says - We acknowledge that IndiGo’s operations have been significantly disrupted across the network for the past two days, and we sincerely apologize to our customers for the inconvenience caused. A multitude of unforeseen operational challenges including minor technology glitches, schedule changes linked to the winter season, adverse weather conditions, increased congestion in the aviation system and the implementation of updated crew rostering rules (Flight Duty Time Limitations) had a negative compounding impact on our operations in a way that was not feasible to be anticipated. To contain the disruption and restore stability, we have initiated calibrated adjustments to our schedules. These measures will remain in place for the next 48 hours and will allow us to normalize our operations and progressively recover our punctuality across the network. Our teams are working around the clock to ease customer discomfort and ensure operations stabilize as quickly as possible. Furthermore, the affected customers are being offered alternate travel arrangements to reach their destinations or refunds, as applicable..."

India’s commercial aviation sector sees many delays, cancellations including its largest carrier #IndiGo. Delays and cancellations are due to tech glitches, adverse weather conditions, crew shortages following revised Flight Duty Time Limitations, minimising fly time to 35hr/week
