RIP my dear Shivaani. I still do not know how to process this. We met on Twitter for a cause @TeamSaath and you became an integral part of my life. Despite your busy life, you were there for me- always. @mcshivanisen you will live in our hearts and your light will always shine

Please people… a request. What the Taliban is doing is NOT a PR gimmick. It’s called PROPAGANDA. The latter word is aptly used when one is trying to portray something that they either don’t believe in, or want to hide to show a completely different face from what they are doing.

Can’t help but remember the glorious days of #AirIndia when we had the Maharaja! Just putting it out there for my German friends. Hope the Maharaja days return with the TATA takeover.

@Suhelseth @airindia I recently flew @airindia from FRA to DEL. The service was top notch; the attention to passengers was exemplary and the food was yum! The seats could have been better but their warmth makes up for everything. I have flown with many airlines - i would rather have this than a state.

@Aunindyo2023 Nice post. The only difference is that you probably had a 9-9 job and also enjoyed the remuneration that came with it. You probably went out on Sundays to the mall and that five star hotel for dinner once in a while. The difference is, you didn’t realize the amount of work you.

Real #MondayMotivation.
In 16 years of power, Angela Merkel did not appoint any of her relatives to a state position. Germany said goodbye to its leader, physicist and quantum chemist, who was not tempted by fashion or lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private jets.
