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 […]

US Elections:Poll Pot on full boil
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 […]

Polity on Vijayadasami
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).

Trump Versus Biden
21 October 2020 We are 14 days away from 03 November 2020, a year when I thought, America would vote to get rid of the person who became its 45th President by what I can call as the biggest stroke of randomness. For four years, USA has been witnessing a steady stream of lies, confabulations, […]

The Thai Crises

Readers would recall, how I have consistently taken the view that Thai State is acting in utter disregard to the simple nature of demand of the people, to be held accountable and answerable to them, and how even in the last decades of the […]

Slowly Surely Solidarity
17 October 2020 As expected the repurposed stuff did not work. after all Remdesivir was being used for Ebola (filo virus), there is no anti viral drug (Lipinavir/ritonavir too) yet which is successful against Corona Viruses in general out there. We already had major doubts about Hydroxychloroquine. We also knew that interferons like Tocilizumab and […]
15 October 2020 What scientists are wholehearted in agreement is that our planet Earth has seen an unprecedented period called Halocene, which has seen what we call the seasons of climate that is quite common to all cultures. Of course, Upanishads do mention how initially there was no sense of time, and Death the Progenitor […]
