To everyone who has lost a friend/family member/loved one/acquaintance to covid, know that they are not just a statistic. Each of them was valued, loved, had memories, dreams and more.
They are not just a number

@zigzackly Can’t forget Anglo-Indians contribution to education with a number of “Anglo-Indian” schools in Calcutta and across the country with legendary Ai teachers

So fortunate to have this as the first EPL season I have watched from beginning to end - what a season! What a last day!
Now to figure how to spend my weekends for the next few weeks #EnglishPremierLeague

@AanyaOBrien 1. Take something to keep yourself occupied
2. Remember no one’s looking at/judging you

@sheetalbsakpal My great great grandmother was a gynaecologist pre-Independence - she earned and built a four storey house (which continues to be our family home almost 100 years on) while raising a family on her own

@Full_Meals My maternal grandmother drove her husband and sons around the streets of Calcutta, India (~1960s) in skimpy blouses (striking against her blond hair!) advocating for women to be independent

@virajb37 For arguments sake, wouldn’t someone’s health and well being be of priority over the game? It’s time to respects sportspeople as people first and players later.

[Raisa O'Brien @unicoraisa]

@riyanvatcha @bhogleharsha No (as far as I know) which is why the argument the other day that Kuldeep shouldn’t have bowled the three remaining balls in an over where the bowler (I think Nortje) was disallowed from finishing because he would “waste” an over
