Yesterday when I told my parents, "She and I are in love. She is a single mom and I am ready to take the responsibilities. We do not want a marriage but want to live in. Will wait until her daughter reaches the age of choice and consent to stay with me." (1/2)

My parents just told me, "Be an honest person. Make it clear in between two of you. We are proud of you that you have taken such a decision. This is your private life and personal decision, therefore, we will not interfere."
Its such a privilege to have parents like this.

The first serving home minister of a state who went behind bars for murder, accused of snooping on a woman using state machinery, brainchild behind divisive politics and the most powerful man in Indian politics. I write on Amit Shah in Washington Post

As a resident of Delhi let me take up this challenge & answer you.

2) Three (thermal) power plants were shut equalling 1,245 mw of generating capacity including Badarpur.
Instead of patting each others’ backs and gearing up for elections by playing with the lives of citizens, I challenge CM
