However, we can see the effect on Mahashivaratri (Feb 26).

In an uneventful week, Commuters (Smart Cards + NCMC) and Casual Users (Tokens + QR) appear as complementary waves.

Mahashivaratri est le moment de l'année le plus auspicieux à la réalisation du Soi, l'illumination, le nirvana; et Shiva est le yogi ultime, le principe même du yoga (yoga ishvara).

My Mahashivaratri has been exceptional. I hope yours is also #shiva

La Mahashivaratri est le nom de la fête de Shiva.
Shiva tu connais j'imagine, un des principaux dieux de l'Inde hindouiste.
Et sinon oui
Harcelons. Révèlons. Accusons.
Punissons.

Today is MahaShivaratri in which Lord Shiva is celebrated in the Vedic philosophy.

C’est gentil ça.
Je ne sais pas qui est Mahashivaratri mais ça me faut penser à charivaris et je trouve que c’est une bien bonne idée. Allons coller la honte à tous ces pourris avec nos couvercles, nos casseroles et nos louches.
