Received this completely unethical call for research assistant on WhatsApp. They are literally asking for an RA to write an entire book, which deserves authorship and not credit as RA. Idk who this is but this needs to be called out. They are offering 1000 INR per chapter.
Came across an ancient Santoshi Mata temple in Delhi. It is fascinating to read about the origins of her worship and the story behind her veneration.
Lost my last grandparent this morning—my Nani. She fought a long, brave battle with Alzheimer’s. Resilient to the core, she taught us strength in quiet ways. Please keep her in your prayers.
Bomb Iran, join Netanyahu's war and also aspire for Nobel prize for peace. So shamelessly delusional.
