12 July 2021 Right now the fancy variants of concern of the SARS CoV2 virus are getting labelled in Greek alphabet, only here too, there is extreme reluctance to label them that way, because I guess the scientists do not wish to run out of options. So we had a ‘Delta Plus’ before we have […]
8 July 2021 A dystopian world is not difficult to conjure for the future, this being imagination and inspiration in parts, one that is actually brought about by lack of both in the present. Yet, the past year has been a series of such missteps and calculative fuss, an obsession with numbers and headlines, with […]
7 July 2021 It would seem like a world gone awry and it has happened too frequently that now science appears sagacious, forewarning us homo sapiens of the coming apocalypse that is #ClimateChallenge. We had Canada a subArctic country reporting temperatures that would made ‘Madna’ of Mad Na fame from English, August, a scintillating novel […]
HEADLINES From The Hindu on 29 June and 3 July 2021 say it all! 03 July 2021 We have had much of back and forth on the Jammu Air Force Base as well as some Army border posts, claiming the passes made by drones allegedly tossing some explosives that would have damaged the sensitive security […]

26 June 2021 For three days, I have been trying to meditate on what are the take aways from the Delhi meeting of members of JK polity with the Union Governmental leadership. This is no ‘all party meet’ to kickstart political process after it has stayed halted in the aftermath of the announcements of August […]
23 June 2021 As always, I would like to discount, pretty much the article hosted on Vice which makes a nauseating narrative of gender regression and female ostracisation inevitable in a Taliban ruled Afghanistan. What is so cringe worthy is how the destruction of a Islamic shrine by a drone strike and the issue of […]
22 June 2021 Numbers can actually detract from this thread bare discussion, so I will skip it to the extent I can. I make conclusions ahead of the evidence that most countries are on the same wicket as far as Covid19 Pandemic numbers including economic ones are concerned, perhaps because, most political leadership is but […]
18 June 2021 Like how the paparazzi keeps making these names up of famous couples, I was forced to consider leaders Putin and Biden as one, and using the first of one and the last of the other, came up with PuDen. I don’t think many analysts expected this from Biden’s Presidency, or at the […]
