My American citizen 8 month old is on tourist visa in India; current stay runs out on June 7. Flying outside the country is a risk we don’t want to take w/COVID.

They didn’t ask for payment and message popped up saying watch your text/email for next steps. Anything else I can do?

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

fellow Desis', how do you deal with Parents back home. I would like to care for them but without their interfering in every little detail of my life. I am gay, so I am not their ideal kid, & sense their frustration/feelings of betrayal in every conversation. But I can't stop living my life.
They get upset:
• if i don't tell them about an interview - oh you've already decided
• if I tell them about moving to a different state to be with my partner - oh you've already decided & now informing us

Hello People,
Looking for advice based on experience. Currently living with in-laws that have come to support us with our first baby. My in-laws and I have had a rocky start to our relationship due to ours being an inter-religion marriage. Many things have been said that I’m neither able to forgive nor forget. I have a very kind husband who understands my sentiments but wants to try to have a cordial relationship with them now for the sake of our baby (and baby’s relationship with grandparents)
