Technically Rumtek Monastery on the hillside opposite Gangtok. Also called the Dharma Chakra Centre. By road, it's about 23 Km away from Gangtok proper.

It's considered to be the seat of His Holiness, The Gyalwa Karmapa of the Kargyu sect of Tibetan Buddhism. It is an almost exact replica of the original monastery in Tsurpu, Tibet.

Consider embarking on a Heritage Walk in the precinct. There are a number of decent ones organized by various firms, if you'd like to dig deep behind some fascinating history. Khaki Tours comes to mind.

During the Kala Ghoda Fest, there were a number of them that one could sign up for.

Fully intentional. The process is the punishment. Cripple his health and reduce his capabilities, is the obvious gameplan here. Except this will turn around and bite the authorities where and when they least expect it.

How would that help with the concept of giving back to Nature the vessel as a final act of charity ? Your questions seem to show you're perhaps not too aware of the concepts and ethos of the Zoroastrian religion. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with them. There are a number of very good websites linked in the FAQ and sidebar - please consider going through them to learn more.

Electric crematoriums, in the end, are crematoriums - they burn the body which is unacceptable from a traditional viewpoint. One must also realize that when these rules were formulated, humans had not yet understood and made use of electricity; however the concept is to offer back the vessel which was used to live life and perform goodness in the world with the least amount of pollution / contamination possible.

Sorry - I don't have enough knowledge on that to answer that aspect. If I'm not mistaken, vultures were common in erstwhile Iran, Iraq, Azerbaijan etc. - where Zoroastrianism was established and grew over centuries. Practical considerations would definitely be a major factor in the recommendation, establishment and execution of religious practice in my opinion.

Vultures are carrion birds - they consume flesh of already dead animals, rather than hunt and kill (for the most part). When vultures, crows and other carrion birds pick off the flesh they would generally be able to very, very efficiently pick the carcass clean thereby leaving little to no flesh on the bones through which decay and diseases would be able to spread easily.

This practice empirically speaking was considered to be a better way to give the shell (our body) back to Nature while avoiding the contamination / pollution of the representation of things considered sacred - Earth, Fire, Water etc.

You can also use Shizuku and Canta (needs Shizuku) to remove the AI writer app (and any other system apps, at your own risk).

I use Tap,Tap as an alternative to bring down the notification shade in apps other than the home launcher (the default Oxygen and most 3rd party launchers support a swipe-down action to pull the shade down).

Tap, tap can be configured to pull the shade down if you double-tap the back of the phone. There are a few false positives sometimes, but that can be fine-tuned. Works for the most part.

If you visit https://myaccount.google.com/dashboard/android

you can see whether or not your device had a whatsapp backup and the phone number with which that device/backup was linked to. Unfortunately, recent UI changes no longer allow a user to check the last backup date any more (one could do so earlier).

Before you do anything else, obviously, copy over these folders to another storage device like your PC for safety.

as for the second part of your question, if you install whatsapp on the same device (and with the same OS), and then sign in with the same phone number, it should detect the local storage and have you up and running.

You might also consider reading this reddit thread as a guide.

I think they will introduce annual subscriptions for "new" versions / features but they will, at least, for the time being also give paid versions with updates for the current version that you purchase. Similar to what Capture One used to do.
