This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
So many restrictions on the border and locomotives etc, means baahar wale (outsiders) people can’t come into the central part. But those who live in the city should go in large numbers. Carry water. Wear a mask, cap, shades… walk ❤️ (They’re counting on you NOT showing up. Prove them wrong) Ooh! Don’t miss the make-up tutorial 😉.
Apparently I’m going for a drive.
Romance ho to aisi.
