@Umi_Hawa Making sure the legacy of our NHS workers stays on.

How do we keep our kids engaged and motivated through the lockdown? Well, my neighbour and I came up with an interesting idea. We asked the kids to use windows to communicate.1/n

In case the artwork is not visible, mums intervene to send image over thru phones. The artwork motivates the kids to get out of bed early and look outside. Honestly, I have found myself often looking at the window to see if there is something new. 4/n

They write this story out and we message/mail the stories for each other to read. Some ground rules that we followed. Artwork has to be large enough and on a white background so we could see from our windows. 3/n

The aim was for my kid to put up one image everyday and my neighbour's kids would do that same. The kids then develop a storyline depending on the image that has been put up. They continue this for 4 days and start a new story. 2/n

Bonus tweet @British_Airways What happens to those travelers who lack power, voice, & agency to tackle stereotypes? How do we make it an equitable travel experience for them? Let's think about everyone including your crew members. This is 2019. It’s about time. END

Lady passenger brings me a sanitary pad and so does Female_CC. BA stocks sanitary pads on board. @British_Airways u need to run sensitivity courses to your crew. Periods are nt embarrassing. It’s a life process. I have voice and agency and hence can challenge the attitude. 5/5

[V @saarangv]

@British_Airways 1st Male_CC: Its not possible to think bout everyone. Me: Well u hv to. It’s called equality.
1st Male_CC: We don stock condoms either on board.
Me (horrified): Sexual urge is nt equal to periods. One u hv choice when & where to invoke it. The other you don’t 4/5

[V @saarangv]

@British_Airways Me (while waiting): It would be a good idea to stock sanitary pads.
1st Male_CC: Well can’t have everythin on the flight. The other day a lady asked me if we have toy trains.
Me: Sanitary pads are essentials unlike toy trains. 3/5

[V @saarangv]

@British_Airways Me: Do u hv a sanitary pad on flight?
1st Male_CC: don’t think so
2nd Male_CC: I'm sorry didn’t get what you asked
1st Male_CC: She is asking for ladies' thing
Me: Sanitary Pad
Female_CC: Let me go hv a look
Female_Passenger: I hv spares let me get it for you.2/5
