Stood hours as a mere spectator looking at the Necklace of Taleju Bhawani at @artinstitutechi & how could it be repatriated back to where it should be. @NHRCampaign Let’s bring this home next. @artcrimeprof @archaeologyart @DrEmilineSmith @LostArtsofNepal @Sunkesharee @SanjayPIL – at Chicago, IL

Hats off to Nepal for setting this new requirement and protecting the health and ecology of the Himalayas. But also, how has this not been the standard? What happened to take only memories, leave only footprints? #WASH

💯% agree to this!Also loved the fact that even with an injured leg he moved around & spent most of his time on the ramp instead of the stage coz he knew his true fans (who were there for his songs) were standin in the Fanpit & General Zone & not seated in the VVIP & VIP section!
Today at Arjit Singh’s concert, what stood out to me was his kindness. Despite telling the audience twice that he really didn’t like giving autographs, he gave autographs to every single person who he could reach. Probably a couple hundred folks. Also felt bad for him, because he really did thrive when it was just music and him. Now wondering, is he the artist of our generation ( in South Asia) ? There was just one song I didn’t know in the entire 3 hour concert.

Whether you believe it or not, each year dogs are profoundly worshipped in Nepal and this will restore some of your faith in humanity.
Happy Kukur Tihar. Let's appreciate dogs for being inseparable part of our lives. ❤ 🐶

Did you know that Chicago is home to the longest stretch of uninterrupted public waterfront in the country, making it the most public waterfront in the United States? #ChicagoFacts
