Your extraordinary courage, India, is even more poignant for me as all four of my great grandparents and three of my grandparents were born in what is now Ukraine.

Beauty as duty" is an expression I never heard before, and I am very grateful for that understanding as when I used to visit the hospital with my father, a surgeon, when I was two, to cheer up his patients, I always wore a party dress.

Not sure how one has any hope with this horrific senseless war. Heartbreaking and no words suffice. Your care and commitment is remarkable โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ™

Beauty as duty. Yes, my victorian grandmother and her daughter, my dear mama would approve. I remember my grandmother telling me as a child that it was rude to eat anything while walking down the road and always carry a clean hankerchief, such were their feelings of dignity in everyday life.

As for shabby I doubt you do shabby India!
