Two friends join hands to help crematorium staff workers with food; they have a team of 15 volunteers from across the globe now
Two friends, Nandini Ghosh and Shray Gupta, were speaking over the phone last Sunday afternoon. They were trying to find out ways to help people in COVID times. Later that evening, they decided to venture out with 100 food packets and distributed them at Nigambodh Ghat. Ms. Ghosh, a 29-year-old management consultant, said it was her helplessness that helped her come up with “The Good Food Project”. “Ever since the second wave struck, a lot of us have been feeling helpless. Last Sunday, the feeling grew stronger, and I called Shray, who has been helping people with resources already, asking him if we could do something. Then we decided to help the crematoriums staff workers with food,” she said.Almaya Munnettam (Lay People to the Fore), group in the Ernakulam-Angamaly Archdiocese of the Syro-Malabar Church opposed to the synod-recommended Mass, rejected a circular issued by Major Archbishop Raphael Thattil and apostolic administrator Bosco Puthur on June 9 to implement the unified Mass in the archdiocese from July 3.
Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.
