Shiva I have seen a few palaces in India - never been to the US. Also seen in the UK, France and Rome. Not forgetting Indonesia. George Boldt would have been heartbroken to abandon the palace on the passing of his beloved wife.

Shiva AI generated videos are getting overdone with the result we can't trust anything we see as real. I remember seeing this photo. The other three seem to be brothers going by their names.

Shiva @innertalks Medical breakthroughs seem to happen all the time but they do not percolate easily to the ground level. Lotto etc., give hope but soon it is back to reality. In the meantime, we can dream big how to uplift ourselves and the world monetarily. Of...

Shiva Times have changed for the better in certain aspects of life. Hopefully, we march ahead discarding others too like wars, divisions based on issues that do not affect the common folks. A senseless killing indeed, quite sad.

Shiva @innertalks Without hope, life will be downhill accelerating in speed as we get older. Hope tells me good news is always across the corridor, in the next turn. The suspense for some good happening keeps me going though, oftentimes, it ends up as wishful...

Shiva At least it tells there is error. It is better than giving a false reading. It is so troublesome to send them back but we have little choice either.

Shiva @innertalks I have seen a few in their deathbed but hope to recover while the opposite also is a reality. A few have no hope at all and merely exist than live.
