@contrapunctus @sahil When we did pirate cycling, we always went to events organized by contacts (we cycled across Kerala for a month) - which won't be possible for mapping, but trying to involve locals or getting a letter from Police could help. About mask also, the question is about trade offs - how much are we willing to put at stake. To solve complicated social problem - a direct personal approach is not the only available option.

Do you want to send an SMS? If you're from #India, chances are you get 100 of those every day bundled with whatever phone plan you subscribed to.
But if you're a company looking to send messages to people, the story is quite different. Prav currently uses the Twilio SMS gateway, which costs us about ₹7 per message. Since we need to send our one-time passwords (OTPs) via SMS, that makes seven rupees spent every time someone signs up (or logs in again) to Prav!
Help us cover our SMS costs by sending a donation.
