1st posting is often said to be the best and the closest to heart.
@indembcairo has been a great learning experience, thankful for all the support, encouragement and opportunities.

@Indembcairo bid a heartfelt farewell to @SathishBKrishn1, Second Secretary (Pol), on 8 August 2024.

@onidalive It's been more than a week since I brought the issue to notice here as well, but i have got no response still. Do you intend to resolve the issue at all...?

[Sathish Balakrishnan @sathishbk18]

@onidalive it has been a rather disappointing experience with Onida Fire, purchased via @amazonIN.
Purchased in April 2021
Broke down in July 2021 for a month.
Broke down again in November 2021 & it's been more than a month.
Ain't this tantamount to cheating the customers?

[Sathish Balakrishnan @sathishbk18]

@onidalive Installed in April.
Broke down in June. 1st complaint registered on 15th June and repaired on 22nd July. (Over a month)
Again broke down in November, complaint filed on 15th November, but no action yet. (Over a month again)
As such, I request either a replacement or a refund.

[Sathish Balakrishnan @sathishbk18]

@onidalive Last complaint no.dt.15/11/21: 2111S316380043.

Every book is a world...some are appealing while others might be disgusting. But still we cannot ignore them.
May we read, reflect and evolve into a better human..!!

It is not an everyday event when history is dug out of earth. But then Egypt has been going through interesting times...
First it was the parade of royal mummies... And now it's time to discover "the lost golden city of Luxor."

Dead and preserved for 3000 years for a 2nd parade. The land of pyramids and Pharaohs have once again amazed the world and if this doesn't make you awed, nothing else will...!!

Honouring one of the greatest statesman of our times!

GoI has conferred the Gandhi Peace Prize for 2020 on Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The award is a tribute to the ever-deepening relations between 🇮🇳-🇧🇩, whose foundations were laid by Bangabandhu.

@deepagopalan @KeralaTourism True ma'am, and more than often, these believes are more humane and more empathetic than the institutionalized ones which command and reign over the world now...!!!
Makes it all the more imperative that we do not mainstream our folk and tribal believes and systems...

[Sathish Balakrishnan @sathishbk18]

Human race has always been on poles when it came to the idea of God. Its existence, its nature and its evolution has all been a bone of contention between the rational brain and a believing mind...
But then, what is god if not humanity...!!

In a globalised world you export either the wealth or poverty...either the vaccine or the virus...
Unlike many others, we have always chosen the former. And it's no wonder that India is termed "the vaccine factory of the world"..!!!

[India in Egypt @indembcairo]

India has supplied over 23 million doses of Covid vaccines to 20 countries in the neighbourhood & beyond : @DrSJaishankar

وفرت الهند أكثر من 23 مليون جرعة من لقاح الكورونا إلى 20 دولة من دول الجوار وغيرها
