#Tribute We learned with sadness of the death of Jacques Saurel at the age of 90. A Holocaust survivor, he was deported at age 11 to the "star camp" in Bergen-Belsen, with his mother and older sister. Our thoughts go out to his loved ones.
Jacques Saurel was born in Paris in 1933 into a Jewish family that had recently emigrated from Poland. During the war, Jacques's father, Henri Szarcenberg, was taken prisoner, which would save his family time.

A lanky, bespeckled young man in a black terry-cotton bellbottom and a light green printed shirt, with a leather sling bag from Rajasthan, walking towards the NSD lobby.

Colleagues remember him as someone who knew the nitty-gritty of steelmaking.
A big feather in his cap was unfurling the #modernisation at the Jamshedpur plant, which included automation in the mid-1980s.

2/ "For quite some years, I was IAF's only lady officer. There may have been only a dozen women officers in the army & navy together. Initially, I was scared, but I was brave and thought to myself, I could face anything", recalled Ramanan in a 2018 interview to the Devi Project.
3/ A breaker of glass ceilings in the truest sense, Ramanan had more than one ‘first’ to her credit. She was not only the first woman to wear saree as uniform, she also designed the uniform.

There is a strong sense of regional identity & #aspiration in #Shopian, however, repeated bouts of unrest over the last few years have disrupted its developmental trajectory, especially in 2016 after the #BurhanWani incident.

The post #Article370 transition in #Shopian was carefully directed & sublimely executed. The people showed great maturity & cooperated immensely, even as rumours of “outsider influx” & “demographic change” abounded.

2/ When Tipu's mother refused to accept him, Kalam also adopted him and for nine months, fed him milk from a bottle.
And Tipu was not the only case. A horse, belonging to Indian Army's only cavalry division (the 61st Cavalry), was operated for cataract inside Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Among the lost gems was my dear Egbon Isiaka Abiola Akanji Ajimobi, the immediate past governor of Oyo State.
His death has been very devastating in its impact on me.
His death has been very devastating in its impact on me.
Egbon was the only ally in the West to our cause and standing by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He was steadfast and unflinching in his commitment to core Yoruba values and the defence of our leadership.
I welcome the gesture of armed forces in conducting flypasts and playing military bands in front of hospitals as a #tribute to sacrifices & selfless service of frontline #CoronaWarriors such as doctors, nurses, policemen, govt. officials, media, sanitation workers and others.
The band display by the Indian Army, formations by Naval ships and showering of petals by Air Force is an expression of solidarity with the Corona warriors. #IndiaFightsCorona
The nation is grateful for the services of all the frontline warriors who placed the safety and health of the citizens above everything else. #IndiaFightsCorona
