At over 3500 yrs old Sanskrit is the oldest & considered the mother language of many Indian languages that originated frm it

दीपावली के पावन पर्व पर आप सब को हार्दिक शूखकामनाएँ। जिस तरह दिवाली अंधेरे पर रोशनी की विजय का प्रतीक है उसी तरह मैं आशा करता हूँ आने वाले साल में इंसानियत और विज्ञान, कोविड-१९ पर भी पूरी तरह से विजय प्राप्त करेगा। 🙏🏾

You know it’s the last day of parliament for the year (yesterday) when Headmaster @SpeakerTrevor is hanging out with us third formers at the Press Gallery drinks and nobody is in trouble 😊

Someone sent me this. So cool. Proud of our Minister @NanaiaMahuta from the mighty Waikato who lot of young people look upto. I first met Nanaia at a @nzlabour leadership husting at Mahatma Gandhi centre when I was around 25yo. Her speech left a long lasting mark on me that day!

Everytime I go to Christchurch, these 185 empty seats remind me of the tragic loss of people and the huge void they have left behind in the lives of their loved ones and the rest of the country... 1/2

🤡I dressed up as clown and joined my friends Spongebob, Capt Barnacles and Sulley (from Monsters Inc) at Hamilton Xmas parade today & distributed lollies to all the excited children and their families. So good to see all the smiling faces as we get into #Christmas period 🎄

I had the privilege of visiting Rashtrapati Bhavan - the residence of President of India. Built between 1912 and 1929 the architectural masterpiece was created by British architect Sir Edwin Lutyens originally as the residence for the Viceroy of India during the British Raj. 1/

Spent two years living in Washington DC and made numerous visits to the Capitol. Never thought would witness this in one of the most beautiful cities filled with history and inspiration
