Don't underestimate the power of 'following the process '.
In Pondicherry,hubby went to a HP petrol pump and asked for 'full tank'. The guy tried usual scam of stopping midway n starting again without bringing to 0. Hubby quietly filed a complaint online, got a call from HP 1/3

Finished reading this today.
More of a family saga than a partition saga. As the author was born a decade after the partition, the memoir is from notes of her then teen elder sis, and descriptions of their homes from another sis. 5.5/10 rating.

@deeptiraonayak This was my 1st thought too.

Imagine all 3 roads to the airport under repair at the same time🤦🏻

[Poornima Prabhu @reader_wanderer]

This book is so,so good.
It's extremely sad,heavy,beautiful and terrible at the same time.
I'm taking my time with it, re-reading, going back to read multiple parts. I'm not able to read more than 2-3 pages at a time before I sit back to reflect.

@flirtingshadows @serioustaurean @Geeky_Foodie If you meant, 'Where reasons ends', I don't think I'll pick it up anytime soon 😔

Need time to process and recover.

[Poornima Prabhu @reader_wanderer]

All v can do is tell the real stories wrt each festival to our kids,do the pooja according to vidhi..and then enjoy!
Shri Ram returning to Ayodhya,Narakasur being killed,Yama visiting Yamuna are all accounts of victory of good over evil and familial love.Prayers for the same n/n

I studied in a convent school from Kindergarten to Class 10, would go to the chapel, kneel down pray, take the holy water n make sign of the cross, sing carols etc. My parents knew this and weren't bothered knowing fully well that it was to please the nun sisters 😂 1/n

[Akinika Manig @akinikamanig]

I attended a Christian school through grades 1-12. Read the Bible and quoted “verse of the day” through morning assemblies. We sang hymns. And sang carols through Christmas season. I am a Hindu. And a devout Hindu, at that.

Not once though, have I attempted to remove Christianity from Christmas. I’ve never tried to claim Christmas is a secular holiday. I can prattle off as many carols as I want but I’m still fully aware of the fact that Christmas is more important religiously for Christians. I just enjoy the joy of festivities.

So when I see people trying to celebrate Diwali without acknowledging its religious roots, trying their hardest to secularize the day, that’s a slap in the face. Diwali is and will always be a Hindu festival. It’s the return of Lord Ram. Always has been. Always will be. Disrespect and dissolution should not and will not be tolerated. Join in, respectfully. Or not at all.

[Poornima Prabhu @reader_wanderer]

Deepavali was changed to Festival of lights and the dereligionisation of festivals keep happening. Even Christmas wishes changed from, Merry Christmas to Seasons Greetings🤦🏻
It's good for business if people across religions celebrate all festivals,and we may see more of this. 4/n
