Theo — a dog who hates storms — kept his dad awake until he got an alert on his phone about the tornado. "That dog can have anything he wants to eat for the rest of his life. He truly saved our family. We would be dead if he hadn’t kept me awake."

Today, I’m gonna make a #thread on controversial #temple #khajuraho. A temple which is famous for its erotic and sexual sculpture and has been targeted by left liberals on its meaning and importance.

However, it may shock you, if I say sexual themes @LostTemple7
cover only less than 10% of the temple sculpture. Its like judging and creating a buzz about the whole movie over one bed scene. Still i’ll explain the reason behind the erotic theme of the temple. But first lets discuss about khajuraho being more than that.@TheRightster
* The Khajuraho group of monuments was built during the rule of the Chandela dynasty. The building activity started almost immediately after the rise of their power, throughout their kingdom to be later known as Bundelkhand during 925-1050 AD @Shudra_Sanatani @sambhashan_in

This session with an entrepreneur and his wife yesterday had my brain working ALL night and so I’ve decided to do a #thread without my super personal details.

This is a thread about #love and being an #entrepreneur
Once I had clarity of purpose and felt in my soul that I knew why I was on this planet at this particular time, I wrote a plan to achieve that ultimate objective.

I studied role models to understand how they managed to find love, especially paying attention to @richardbranson
Staying married seems to be extremely hard for ambitious people willing to take risks few people will take.

It is easy to be singularly-focused and seem selfish. Your business can seem all-consuming. You drop so many balls trying to juggle them.

Hey folks. We’re back at SFUSD HQ for another round of Washington #mural thunder. On the Board of Ed agenda: finding a way to hide but not destroy the murals. Some will call this is a reversal after the June vote to paint over the mural. But it isn’t. Here’s why...
As our story explained (but other outlets unfortunately downplayed or ignored), the June BOE vote had a big fat caveat: if there were any signs of delay from legal challenges etc, the board would opt to cover (ie hide) but not destroy the murals.
Thx to regulations, odds of delay were, oh, about 100%, & the board members knew it. Mark Sanchez, the member who said destroying the mural would be like reparations, told us that night that “chances of painting over prior to paneling are probably long.” thefrisc.com/washington-hig…

Cow is worshipped by Hindus as their mother.

It gives milk+other byproducts & serves us throughout its life but in return we're not even able to save it from a painful slaughter - so much for being a mother?

A #thread on 'गोरक्षा' (cow protection) and truths & myths behind it
Since Vedic age Hindus have considered Cows sacred.

Killing of cow was prohibited and strictest form of punishment was laid out for anyone who dares to break this norm.

Cows were associated with many of the Hindu Gods. Bhagwaan Shri Krishna spent his childhood as cowherd.
In-spite of Hindu sentiments attached to it - cow theft, smuggling & illegal slaughter is rampant throughout India.

Thousands of armed, vicious and deadly criminals are involved in this crime syndicate.

India-Bangladesh (BD) border is the hub of cross border cattle smuggling.
