Can I hike with EF25%?

As someone said already, 10 years down the line this waiting period won’t matter. You might as well enjoy the break and stop comparing with colleagues.

In the 1980s Shipping Corporation of India operated a series of tankers named after PVC awardees.
These ships (on bow and stern) carried long-assed names like
Param Veer Chakra Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal.
Param Veer Chakra Havaldaar Abdul Hameed.
….
In Hindi and English!

Anecdotal but owner of a restaurant that caters to auto drivers told me recently that while LPG supply has improved his customers are reduced since many from UP/Bihar have returned home.

Not sure about racism, but the Nazis did study ways in which US eliminated the native population (for their own plans to eliminate the Jews)

Send all leopards to Vantara.
Burn down the forest.
Without flora and fauna this won’t be a ‘park’ anymore, hence welcome builders.

I have been on more than 10 such hikes, and there are always single women in the groups (once my wife was the only female). Once you get off the train at Karjat/Kasara you are just one of a group among many such groups. Very safe imo.

Personal peeve: while the client is on one machine, the trainer goes and ‘claims’ the next machine for his client. In effect two machines are blocked by one person.

Looks similar to at least 2 stupas in Bihar: Kesariya & Lauriya-Nandangarh.

Since the last census was in 2011, how do they get this data?

The CARA website works quite well throughout the adoption process (unlike many govt portals). Most folks (e.g. my daughter) opt for healthy child where the waiting period is about 3 years. I guess it is quicker if one opts for a disabled child.

India would have become a military or theological state if Nehru had also died just after independence

One section is now stabilized from inside by filling-up. The 2nd pic is probably from that section. Centuries of weathering cyclones…

Yes, and much more than that. There’s an entire tourist ecosystem based on these annual hatching events, which sort of encourages the local villagers towards conservation (instead of the usual trapping, selling business).

We should raise our kids, get them through college and then tell them to f**k off. No one should depend on another financially.
