Why does the #Bihar state gvt have 1 ministry for backward classes, 1 for minority welfare, 1 for SC/ST welfare? Too many cooks?

That's a first: after a shopkeeper in Delhi endured an entire conversation in broken Hindi with me, he finally felt he had to correct me by the end. Not for my horrible accent or all the ways I had mangled his mother tongue. But for saying शुक्रिया instead of धन्यवाद.

My auto driver just asked me if I'm Indian or a foreigner. Best compliment I ever got for my broken Hindi. He just made my day. #Delhi #DelhiElections2020 #fieldwork

My 37yo brother got vaccinated in Pakistan today. Now all immediate adult members of my family have some form of immunity (my other brother recovered from Covid six weeks ago). I did not think I would love to see this day. SubhanAllah.

Congratulation, Rachel E. Brule! So well deserved.

I just paid $87 in airmail fees to cast my ballot in the German parliamentary elections. Germany really does not make it easy for its citizens living abroad to vote...
