14 November 2020 I have never been swirled by such foreboding that it would take me more than the festive Lamps Festival to bring me to keel. As predictably, the great American parody which is Trump Presidency is on full throttle, now the vain glory is no longer one of buffoonery, and one does hope […]
12 November 2020 The decade of drift of Israeli polity under PM Netanyahu is one where Trump Presidency was not as much the major instigator as it was a catalyst. For a first, it was unique to see Germany, UK and France weigh in on a continental scale, in contrast to the US on the […]
10 November 2020 The writing has been on the wall for far too long. Today, the four years of Trump seem to pass by like a movie reel, allowing the viewer to see the parts that may have been missed in the actual blur of happenings, but to a careful observer, not soothsayer, this was […]
9 November 2020 I never thought that such words would emerge from my desk, devoid of my innate sense of optimism, a flair for the naiveté and brimming with the hope that humanism always serves with unvarnished optimism. That I would condemn the Americans as a misogynist, racist, atavistic, parochial and anti science conglomerate of […]
1 November 2020 There is never a good time to discuss this notion, yet as we see religious intolerance spread its tentacles across continents, we see its shadow stretching far across the horizons at a horrifying scale largely due to a sense of understanding and lack of effective pushback. For those who are critical of […]
30 October 2020 We are still short of a INDOPAC TREATY ORGANISATION (IPTO) which would be the ideal level at which the military planners across Pentagon, South Block, Canberra and Tokyo would be comfortable with, since that would actually entail a clear sense of committed force levels and inter-operational orbatting in mutual defence- military gobbledygook […]
28 October 2020 I never thought that in my life time, I would actually see an election season like 2020 has been in the USA. Mr Trump blithely calls ‘mail in ballot’ suspect, even as his own daughter Ivanka and his son in law Jared pose with their mail ins in a video officially put […]
26 October 2020 In recent times, Vijayadasami corrupted as Dusshera has not seen one like 2020. It is getting celebrated over two days, on 25th and 26th, when the astral capture to mark the end of 9 days which are the 9 Nights, end and get marked by this tenth day. Of course, like how […]
25 October 2020 Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty(SALT) and it’s variant Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) defined much of what we can call as a Western Doctrinal Consensus borne from the bed rock of Mutually Assured Destruction(MAD). From the late 80s including a Declaration for a Nuclear Disarmament that was championed by late Rajiv Gandhi and […]
23 October 2020 The speech was so subtle and so hard hitting in parts that one could see why the US has presidential term limits, else we would have had not just Obamacare, but an Obama era! At Philadelphia in the backdrop of the Lincoln centre, Obama spoke for about half an hour, as if […]
