Happiness is a crisp morning filled with promise, where the gentle rustle of the Times of India greets me like an old friend. The newspaper becomes a window to the world, lying in my hands as steam spirals from a perfectly brewed cup of tea. Each sip soothes the soul while headlines whisper tales of distant lands and bustling cities, unraveling stories of political intrigue, triumphs from the world of sports, humor sprinkled here and there, and timeless wisdom from the Speaking Tree. In this harmony of thought, taste, and time, happiness finds its perfect expression to me.

Alexander Barns Engraving of Bamyan Buddha 1832.
- The Buddhas of Bamiyan were carbon-dated to 591–644 AD (Western Buddha,125ft. ) and 544–595 AD (Eastern Buddha, 180ft ).
The Army Bearer Corps, the stretcher bearers from India that served in WWI were truly a pan Indian force with representations from all corners of India. Anyone has more information on them?

"Living wildlife trade still seen driving cross-species zoonotic transmission" - including and perhaps especially via Myanmar as well as Laos. The world ignores Myanmar's collapse at its own peril.
Scientists have discovered another clue to the origins of the virus that causes Covid-19, with bats living in caves in Laos found to be carrying a similar pathogen that experts suggest could potentially infect humans directly. #BangkokPost #Thailand bangkokpost.com/thailand/gen…
Dad...you are now in a place where there is no pain and suffering but Life will never be the same without you😢
You must have seen heart rending visuals as the pandemic wrecks havoc. An incompetent federal government is largely to blame
Myanmar is burning!! Horrific pictures and videos of shooting of protestors emerging. More than 370 refugees from Myanmar have crossed into our state including many policemen and security personnel.
A must watch to understand the phenomenal contributions of the Indian non-combatants in the Western Front and the Mesopotamia Campaign during WW I
What a way wonderful way to commemorate Kohima...
Lovely to see the annual @KohimaEdTrust newsletter arrive. Lots of stuff going on in #Nagaland. There’s a new scholarship leaflet. It’s a reminder of ‘my’ scholar - Imkongkhumbra Chang, named after Lt Charles Felix, who died at Pangsha in his C46 in August 1943.
Kong, salute....
