Had she been killed by Iran’s regime, women & men around the world, and especially in the West, would have (rightly) had an apoplectic fit of outrage and gone into the saviour mode…

But since she was killed by Israel’s bombs, she won’t matter…

“Cynthia Kitchens…has a binder full of notes, documents & photos from her frustrating years at Boeing, one page of which lists the numbers of the 11 planes delivered between early 2012 & 2013 whose quality defects most kept her awake at night. 6 of them went to Air India…”

X is like the wild party you know you should leave but is hard to - toxic & annoying people & posts, but also funny & clever ones!

BlueSky is like adulting - gracious, polite, dignified, refreshing like a breath of fresh air but (so far) missing the buzz…!

Roger Federer often makes a bleak world suddenly look nicer, warmer and sunnier…!

Thanks :)

The more platforms to vent on, the better..!!

Btw, pretty sure the X owner would love for you to be mad at the Democratic Party there :))

No leader can make his country a great power if after over a decade as its leader, he is unable to deal with a severe public health emergency. Other countries, including from the developing world, have fixed this problem.

Yearning for a real blue sky in Delhi seems like a good time to sign up on this virtual one…!
