  1. Things that should be on everyone's mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on the govt. Especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in Gold, Silver and digital currencies (BTC,ETH…)

  7. Interesting, India too has a long history of puppetry( be it wooden, rod, globe, shadow etc) for the last 5000+years as evidently mentioned in Mahabharat, Ramayana, Natya Shastra and Kama Sutra.
    This specific kind of Shadow puppetry is also native to Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka provinces of India, it is known as Rabana chhaya( in Odia), Tholu bommalata( in Telugu), Togalu gombeyaata( in Kannada) in the respective official languages of those provinces, it was still very influential in narration of Hindu historical and religious stories, until recently.
    Also, I think this is also present in Indonesian Java as Wayang Kulit.
