There's been so many fake news going around about FREE tuition in Germany. I know this because I have so many friends in Germany presently in school and I have worked with so many people presently in Germany. To this end, let's demystify the things you never read online. #Thread.
I've read in so many articles where people talk about #GermanFreeTuition but never talk about the nitty gritty. Of a truth, Germany is one of the best countries to live in the world, yet still, they offer Free Tuition to everybody from primary education to PhD and you're at an

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)
It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)
