@my_musings_ind Same!!! And the passport offices are so swanky with officers who actually smile and like their jobs. I was just in awe because I went expecting it to be like the bhikaji cama place passport office in 1991.
@Jennifer55gt A tip is given when the service provided is appreciated because it goes above and beyond expected standards of service that they should ordinarily be providing as a part of their JOB. It is not my job to compensate you for something the employer should give as legitimate wages!
At the very least she had a gandharva vivah by exchanging garlands- one of the eight classical types of Hindu marriage. This ancient marriage tradition is akin to a modern day love marriage and requires no rituals/ family participation. So what’s this whole drama?
The Shiv Nadar School community stands united in the tough times. The Parent Representative Group at Shiv Nadar School, NOIDA, in collaboration with the teachers, express goodwill, 'sadbhaavana', for all through this heartfelt prayer.

@thekarami I hear you mate. I told my five year old she’s my favorite person in the whole world, and she said - “ nani ( maternal grandma) is my favorite person in the whole world. REJECTION HURTS!
@governorswaraj This is in response to someone who has commented about the dangers of temples being converted into conversation centres. It is important to have a sense of community and pride in one’s existence and roots
@governorswaraj The lack of this thinking is why the Hindu’s are fragmented - they need a sense of belonging and community to each other. This is a brilliant suggestion. Sikh gurdwara’s are community centres but no forced conversion takes place there.
@governorswaraj The central Government is pathetic at communications, even when they do a great job- they not project it as a positive win. Friends in the US have been struggling to get their old parents vaccinated, India was winning this fight up until now.
@governorswaraj Yes we can sir- we have the capacity and volumes. India was doing brilliantly until election season began. Now the private sector needs to be involved and schools should be vaccinating teachers and staff on priority regardless of age, then everyone else soon
@governorswaraj The fact that every education minister since independence has made a concerted effort to erase the rich history of Mewar, Sikhs, maratha’s and other non Mughal kings In every history textbook. This fairly recent history is regrettable and sad.
@governorswaraj Sir with all due respect this is because of extreme censorship in mainstream media- OTT platforms have gone to the other extreme to prove a point. We need balance and perspective while determining what is freedom of expression and act accordingly.
Wow — this is awful.
For the record, @Harvard has no school of journalism, no department of journalism, and no professors of journalism.
(It does have @niemanfdn! But we have no faculty and no classes. And it does have @ShorensteinCtr, but no journalism-specific faculty.)
