10 August 2020 I was not surprised to see NDTV tweet : “PM Modi sends Rs 17,100 crore into bank accounts of over 8 crore farmers.” Actually it is the kind of narrative that has become passé especially when you see how Mr Rahul Kanwal underwent convulsions at Mr Pawan Khera’s suggestion that the media […]
8 August 2020 A cataclysm visited a city in the form it never imagined, in a manner that it least catered for.
