Year-end observation -
No matter where you go, from Bihar to Brampton, if there’s a celebration, there’s a cake.
It crosses religion, race, and cuisine.
No one cuts a gulab jamun on a birthday or kunafa on an anniversary.
Cutting cake is humanity’s no man’s land.
There is an uneven digital modernity. Tier 2 and 3 cities are filled with an older population whose children work in metro cities, making them perfect targets for fake news and digital scams.

Distortion of our culture and gods began when Bhagwan Ram & Hanuman were portrayed angry, #Adipurush is just a continuation of it.
Our gods have always had a peaceful radiance, people feel safe seeing them not be afraid. But this was done for RSS brand of politics.

This book, written by the political economist Parkala Prabhakar, who also happens to be married to Nirmala Sitharaman, is a brilliant expose of the Modi govt&how it is systematically dismantling our Republic. Available on Amazon it's a must read for all who care about our future

India EXPORTED 9300 metric tonnes of Oxygen in 2021
Double compared to last yr & most of it to Bangladesh
We are now facing a huge shortage across India & Govt has called a tender to IMPORT Oxygen
What sort of foolish policy is this by our Pappu PM? Don't #IndianLivesMatter?
