Respected @DrSJaishankar , @MEAIndia , @CMOGuj , @PMOIndia , @narendramodi @sanghaviharsh @USAndMumbai, and @IndianEmbassyUS, I am Dr. Payal Soham Vyas, reaching out in a time of profound grief. Our family friend has tragically lost his son. The father and sister now urgently seek assistance in obtaining a valid USA visa for the final rituals. Your guidance and support during this challenging time would be immensely appreciated. 🙏 #UrgentHelpNeeded

No, Sanjay Manjrekar, India have not been beaten by the conditions. They have been beaten by batting slowly in familiar conditions and also not allowing for any margin by playing only 5 bowlers. When you blame the conditions, you are essentially disrespecting the other team.

Is anyone travelling to #Havelock Island this year? I've a credit note from Jalakara- a BRILLIANT property. Would like to sell it, since I won't be able to make it.

Have more than one “miles earning” member in your family & want to combine your points without violating T&Cs? Family pooling of air miles offers a fantastic value proposition for those who fly and earn together! pointsdojo.com/miles-for-dum…

If in case you can’t make it to Japan during Sakura season but instead happen to be in US , then visit Washington DC for Cherry Blossom. Its always a great time to visit.

Best parts about the meetup - no incessant moping over axis deval - no unnecessary bill settlement drama for discount - good discussions about travel experiences and catching up with folks who I now call my friends :)

🔥 Our award search tool, the only one of its kind, over at @PointsDojo Discord went live for all members L5 and above. Not only does it search for award avability on your routes and dates but now you can also tell it the number of points you have and the card you have them on and it'll give you a list of destinations you can fly to. 🤯 While far from perfect, we continue to improve it basis the ton of feedback we receive from our users. If you are not a member yet, comment below and I'll send you an invite.

This earlier attempt at a new Air India livery (by Landor) in the late 1980s has been largely forgotten, not showing up in most historical archives etc. I quite liked it, but reaction overall was negative and it was reversed after not too long.
