Hi everyone, this is Akarsh coming to you live from Tate Britain in the uk. Wish you all a very happy Diwali. Diwali is a celebration of good over evil. And I hope you try and do one micro act of kindness today. Three years back we came together to try and create a democratized mentorship. Three years out we've scaled that movement far and wide and and we have presence now in 104 countries including the UK. But today being Diwali, it's such a special day to see all our mysteries and all our stories come alive. And I see that there you will see the great Indian tiger. You see our wonderful God who's gone. And right above on top you see Om. And I think we right now stand standing in front of Thames. And this is a beautiful celebration of the festival that comes to mean so much to us today. I do feel very patriotic and as you all know, patriotism is something that transcends the current flaws that might exist in our systems and so forth. But even today I feel far more patriotic than nationalism because I want you all to remember that today is a day to be patriotic. Today is the day to celebrate the victory of good, evil, but not at the cost of others. Patriotism means that I love my country. Nationalism means I only love my country. I hope you all consider being patriots as well as and not nationalists because this is one time we need to be internationalist because we are faced with global problems that need global solutions. And I hope you join me in celebrating Diwali. See you all very soon. Catch you. Bye.
