India will resume domestic flights from May 25. I noticed some skepticism about flying amid the #CoronaPandemic. Here’s a thread on why flights are the safest mode of transportation and why you should #KeepTrustinAirTravel. 1.

Dr. Gooptu was one of the favourite students of David Hare (who founded the Hindu School and Presidency College) and educated under his care at the Hare School in Calcutta. Debendranath Tagore (Rabindranath Tagore’s dad) was his contemporary at the school.
