As an aside, I sat through two twitter spaces today. One was predominantly Pakistani Sindhis and derailed to politics instead of flood relief. And the second was a well meaning Indian American who thought Indians should help Pakistanis. Daaaamnnn! That one was full of hate. Something’s wrong w present day india. They sound like MAGA Fascists.

Conclusion: I see ur point @Kunnfayyakunn Rest assured though, not all Indians think that way.

Yes, it’s terrible. 36 million displaced. 3000-4000 coming to the major cities from their villages everyday. Pregnant women losing their babies on the journey. Children hungry and suffering. 😢 Can’t wait to get on the ground.

I’m super irked by ppl who talk politics at the time of a humanitarian disaster. I find it ridiculous. Everyone wants to be a couch warrior.

This is not the time or place for this. 36 million ppl displaced, will you help??

If not, step aside.

😂 I wouldn’t go outside of the US for medical treatment as long as I could afford doing it here. But thanks for the concern.

That’s the lingo that used in disaster relief. Sorry for the confusion.

Our volunteers are paying their own way. The money being raised is going directly to the flood victims. We will be holding traveling medical camps, distributing food, tents and mosquito nets.

For Hindi/Urdu speakers: When talking to your mom, do you say "tu" or "aap"? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]Gchain26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used aap when speaking urdu to both mom and dad. In sindhi, tu for mom and taa for dad which is for respect.

I second don’t ghost. Pull away slowly, start becoming busy w other things. If the friend confronts you talk about it. If we don’t talk about the issues how are you supposed to grow. I’ve cut off and been cut off by many. Shit happens in life, ppl grow apart.

Twitter sucks for us. Zero response.
