    Not many know that @thekiranbedi began her career as a teacher of Political Science before she rose the ranks & became the icon she is. Today, she holds many distinctions but perhaps my lasting memory of our meeting will be her humility. Thank you #Lifeology for a great session.

    With so much sad news all around I wish everyone would consciously, be a little kinder, smile a little more and just genuinely be in the moment. Who knows anymore what tomorrow holds?

    @KNargish The enormity of your responsibilites is real and sometimes the best intentioned can still see it as an impossible job. Yet you debunk the myths, stay accessible and allow others to learn and grow. Here's to yet another feather in your hat. Respect! @DxbModern #GESF

    This image is from my first day at @DxbModern in the summer of 2007. Probably the first picture I took in Dubai. #ModernIs30 @KNargish

    Me : "Ma, you don't need to tell all our relatives everything I say and do." Ma: ( typing on WhatsApp family group) "anyways, he says I don't have to tell the whole family everything he says and does" Me: 😯😳🤪

    Dear December, You've always been my favourite month of the year, let's keep it that way. Be kind. ❤

    I can imagine teachers everywhere sitting at their dining tables, empty classrooms or makeshift workspaces. Each of them navigating through remote learning software with minimal prep, trying to bring continuity & normalcy to kids lives during a bizarre time. Teachers are heroes.

    Thank you @khda for honoring the Mother of @DxbModern. You reminded her of how special she really is! @lovindubai

    Replying to @KHDA
    You guys never disappoint! Teachers should take a leaf out of your book & solve everyday issues with a touch of humour (when possible) it really does make a difference! Your social media team deserves a certificate. Perhaps you should ask the kids who absent today, to design one.
