14 October 2020 One of the key elements that sort of put people off was all the models that initially estimated that our known world would get overwhelmed by the pandemic. What most people who now pooh poohed these models then and now, do not understand is that with whatever little understanding they had of […]
13 October 2020 One of the biggest drawbacks in the efforts of the global community to fight this pandemic is how to an extent tools for number crunching, modelling and assessments of predictive analytics actually threw off a straight forward narrative of science. A narrative that said that this novel corona virus, SARS CoV2 was […]

11 October 2020 It can be dismissed as the opinion of a matinee idol in an arena where he doesn’t have expertise. https://www.newindianexpress.com/entertainment/telugu/2020/oct/10/vijay-deverakonda-picks-dictatorship-over-democracy-saysall-people-not-worthy-of-voting-right-2208438.html Yet the man who has a roll call of characters like Deverakonda does, with the kind of ability to emote raw emotions as he did, I am actually of the view that […]
9 October 2020 For all the geostrategic play many are actually going about discounting what I would call the domestic and the immediate for China. Just look at Taiwan, which appeared increasingly amenable at one point to sort of coexisting with China, even under the One China Policy, which America had under Nixon endorsed, which […]

9 October 2020 The ratcheting of international opinion was bound to happen if you were a rising global power threatening the status quo, especially when a infectious disease that you could have been more alert to and more forthcoming, is the source for much of the world’s grief this year. I am not in that […]
7 October 2020 It would seem that virus and vaccine were in many ways intertwined, for the first true vaccine was Edward Jenner’s for Small Pox, and from that early and perhaps the greatest success where a vaccination would eradicate a disease itself, vaccination has now come a long way. In a sense, it is […]
6 October 2020 Sometimes a simple handling of a public event will inform you of how incredibly the state works, the one for which all citizens pay their taxes for, the many who volunteer or sign up to work for, because, it is a kind of unwitting stress test on the various nuts and bolts […]
4 October 2020 Right now, it is clear that the pandemic is still raging. Yet, it is also clear that much of the world’s energies are focused on trying to prove or disprove the early ‘pet theories’ people had conjured, interestingly from the non virologist community about the ‘Satan Bug’. Rather than wait for fuller […]
1 October 2020 Of course, it would have been most silly of Indian liberals to actually think that first their economy would chug along automatically as would their new found support through a vocal TV News Media and higher judicial activism. After all, from 2000 to 2014, for close to a decade and a half, […]
29 September 2020 I did not want to write about how Democracy must now be looking from afar. There is still some form of democracy in Russia, and so when I meant afar, I mean only China and the CCP regime. America always seems to be able to just keep her head above water, increasingly […]
