21 June 19 It is tempting to state that today bearing the cross of the medical profession must seem like a curse to most of them! The pressure from public levers is always on doctors, to provide affordable care, to provide doorstep care, to provide rural care, to provide in house care, to provide personal […]
Flotsam
20 June 19 Former Naval Chief Admiral Arun Prakash tweeted from Paris Air Show the HAL was missing, their bird- LCA was nowhere in sight even as Pakistanis were there with JF17s in both static and flying displays. The Modi regime which at the end of its first tenure singled out HAL for some unwarranted […]
A Pox on all their Houses!
19 June 19 From the extreme of disappointment and in the face of air brushing of facts and circumstances, one American wrote on the thread of @AOC who is their best bet as a freshman Congresswoman to find solutions to the muddle that now swarms America- A pox on all their houses! It is a […]
The Deranging & Doctoring World!
17 June 19 Today should have been a day for great celebration, instead it must be one of great consternation. We won with Pakistan at the Cricket game in the World Cup Cricket, but then, that was par for the course, we were overwhelming favourites not just on current rankings, but also on the basis […]
US Dip Low Maze!
15 June 19 The US has a past, and now people have cottoned to it! So goes the gushing sentiment in the analysts’ world, as they wonder what the attacks on merchantmen in the Gulf of Persia is all about, especially when the Japanese PM was in Iran for mediation after being sent there by […]
Cult Vigilante!
14 June 19 There are many parables that describe the same moral ending. A witness imagines that he is undergoing a neutral event, and finds in the end that the event has grown disproportionately to drag him/her into its vortex! The classical story is of how Kalidasa was actually a dumbo sitting on a branch […]
Pakistan Centricity!
13 June 19 Hate can consume us is something that our epics, our elders and our psychologists can always tell us. What we are now witnessing is how despite being a failed economy and a country in strife, as a neighbour Pakistan occupies disproportionate weight in Indian mindset, purely out of this angst and hatred […]
Looking the Other Way?
12 June 19 The news of the former CEA expressing his academic authority through a formal paper published in academic abroad, which debunked largely the statistical exercise carried out by India when he was very much in government. Peers and those who claim to be in the know, say that Mr Arvind Subramaniam had conveyed […]
Form-Reform
6 June 2019 Two separate threads both linked to Bengaluru engage me closely, the first being how the INC never learnt their history correct and how the Nandan Nilakeni input confirms some thing I always have been saying about Mr Rahul. The second is about how an unseemly row has erupted over ISKCON’s Akshaya Patra […]
Turbulence or Heady Winds
4 June 2019 In what can be called almost duplicitous, the manner in which suddenly a spate of bad news on the economic front hit India cornered the attention of many an inflamed columnist. Crying over spilt milk is not wise, especially if the milk were the stuff that Drona had offered to Aswaththama, more […]
