This must be one brave man to go with her...
Indrani Mukerjea, who was accused of killing her daughter Sheena Bora, remains out on bail after being released in May 2022. She has since published a memoir, shared her perspective in a Netflix documentary series, and has even been described by some as a philanthropist..Lol
This is another case that proves the Judiciary system is a joke in India.

The Adam's Family, Indian ver.
Maneka is being ignored , sitting quietly while her dead husband’s seat is going to Rajiv Gandhi . Sonia cannot speak in Hindi , English is Italian accent, wearing high fashion western clothes and looking coldly at Maneka as a lowly being . That time I remember , phoned were a luxury, dining tables were aspirational , eating mangoes with fork and knife was elite , we had power cuts while these ppl were living in airconditioned luxury . I think Priyanka Gandhi watches these videos to copy Indira Gandhi style

Interesting object seen behind the Hooghly Imambara, #WestBengal. A device for astronomy.
Strange article, that seems to speak of Indian heritage being sold at an auction with pride instead of shame...timesofindia.indiatimes.com/…

I could go back to #Hampi fifty times and find something new every time. There are a thousand places where one could sit and never want to come out again.

#Sualkuchi also has the amazing Sidheswar Devalaya, the which may have originally been built in the 10th - 11th century CE. Some of the icons currently installed in niches around the temple may date to that period. #Assam
An Assamese line on the village gate of Sualkuchi calls the village the place where dharma and karma meet. As you enter the village, you understand why. Sualkuchi is famous for its silk weaving. Every home in Sualkuchi reverberates with the sound of the handloom.
But that’s not Sualkuchi’s only claim to fame. Tucked in one of the lanes, lies the Hathi Satra, a 300 year old institution. The outer walls of the Namghar feature 250 year old wooden carvings of the Ramayana on one side and the story of Krishna on the other.
Save this for your next Assam trip. Do share/follow for more travel stories like these. #shefsays #dharmamusings #sualkuchi #awesomeassam @himantabiswa @CMOfficeAssam @aweassam

Now that I have completed my pandal hopping for this year, time to talk about a sea of temples in West Bengal, a state that has much more to see beyond the Durga Puja pandals of Kolkata, in my latest for @moneycontrolcom tinyurl.com/wbjourney

Had an interesting time doing this story for TOI's Bhopal edition. On how museums were truly gateways to exploring a region and much more could be done to make them come alive, especially for younger audiences.
One of India's tallest minarets is the obscure Lanka Minar, Kalpi, #Jalaun district of UP. Amidst depictions of long snakes, human figures standing, sitting & lying down, the highlight is a carving of Ravana on the minar itself. Built in the mid 19th century.
Sharing a blast from the past...20 years ago to the day, took some pictures of ceiling patterns from within Akbar's tomb at #Sikandra. Probably my first use of a digital camera.
