I see the term 'northeasterners', coined by a lazy and ignorant media, is gaining currency. It makes as much sense as 'Oriental', 'Asian', 'South Indian', and 'African'.

Nothing to do with the current election! ইলেকশ্বন ডিউটি anyayug.com/p/translation-…

Switzerland 🇨🇭 Solar panels on train tracks. A hell of a lot more logical than plastering over prime farmland.

Easier to get a MBBS seat than to get into the exam hall, it seems. Demand for ‘NEET-friendly’ clothing surges in Kerala as anxiety over dress code ... epaper.thehindu.com/ccidist-ws/th/…

Looks like the pushback by citizens worked – though I'm still wary what the 'thoughtful innovations' might involve. epaper.theshillongtimes.com

Glad to see this push back by citizens against the commercialisation of Ward's Lake. But will the authorities listen? epaper.theshillongtimes.com/news-item/1099…

@IndiaPostOffice You were supposed to revert to me concerning LP128888867AU. Any update?

@IndiaPostOffice Still waiting ...

@prasantakdas The matter is being looked into and we shall revert to you shortly.

@IndiaPostOffice Does DIMC, New Delhi fall within your jurisdiction? If so, please assist with LP128888867AU which has been lying there since Feb 21.

@TheMightyStark and I have parcels pending in DIMC New Delhi for over a month. There's no working number to contact them or effective official forum to lodge a complaint, so trying this. I'm sure there are lot of others who will lose their parcels but can't do anything...

@TheMightyStark @IndiaPostOffice No, mine has been pending in Delhi International Mail Centre (DIMC) since Feb 21. Wrote to Custom's office as per India Post's advice but my email was not received.

@prasantakdas @IndiaPostOffice Did u receive ur order I haven't recieved mine as well kept at delhi from 18th March

@IndiaPostOffice My parcel (a book) sent by Australia Post (LP128888867AU) has been stuck in Delhi customs since 21 Feb. Since you are the local delivery partner, can you assist? Thanks.

Wheelers book stalls going! It is the end of an era of Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling's dream on Indian Railways. One of Indian Railways’ most iconic features—the Wheeler book stalls— are set to disappear from stations across Mumbai’s Western Railway network, marking the end of a nearly century-old legacy. #Mumbai

Western experts are predicting widespread famine in Africa if this war goes on any longer. Reminds me of how During Covid, they were estimating over 500 Million deaths across Africa. But We waited and waited and no one died. So we just called off the lockdowns, stopped wearing masks and went back to work. Even this one we shall overcome.

Important research outcome that changes how we look at India's northeastern region.

@Delhicustoms A book sent via Australia Post tracking no. LP128888867AU has been lying with DIMC since 21 February. Would appreciate assistance, if possible.

Juri, daughter of veteran Assamese actress Gyanada Kakati, passed away today, just a year after her mother died. The Kakati family were our neigbours in Oakland, Shillong as long as I can remember. No one left now.

Since colonial times Oxford and Macmillan have had a strong presence in the lucrative text book market. But the indigenous publishing industry too has had a respectable history of pushing back. Let’s see how this plays out.
