19 June 19 From the extreme of disappointment and in the face of air brushing of facts and circumstances, one American wrote on the thread of @AOC who is their best bet as a freshman Congresswoman to find solutions to the muddle that now swarms America- A pox on all their houses! It is a […]
17 June 19 Today should have been a day for great celebration, instead it must be one of great consternation. We won with Pakistan at the Cricket game in the World Cup Cricket, but then, that was par for the course, we were overwhelming favourites not just on current rankings, but also on the basis […]
15 June 19 The US has a past, and now people have cottoned to it! So goes the gushing sentiment in the analysts’ world, as they wonder what the attacks on merchantmen in the Gulf of Persia is all about, especially when the Japanese PM was in Iran for mediation after being sent there by […]
14 June 19 There are many parables that describe the same moral ending. A witness imagines that he is undergoing a neutral event, and finds in the end that the event has grown disproportionately to drag him/her into its vortex! The classical story is of how Kalidasa was actually a dumbo sitting on a branch […]
13 June 19 Hate can consume us is something that our epics, our elders and our psychologists can always tell us. What we are now witnessing is how despite being a failed economy and a country in strife, as a neighbour Pakistan occupies disproportionate weight in Indian mindset, purely out of this angst and hatred […]
12 June 19 The news of the former CEA expressing his academic authority through a formal paper published in academic abroad, which debunked largely the statistical exercise carried out by India when he was very much in government.

6 June 2019 Two separate threads both linked to Bengaluru engage me closely, the first being how the INC never learnt their history correct and how the Nandan Nilakeni input confirms some thing I always have been saying about Mr Rahul. The second is about how an unseemly row has erupted over ISKCON’s Akshaya Patra […]
4 June 2019 In what can be called almost duplicitous, the manner in which suddenly a spate of bad news on the economic front hit India cornered the attention of many an inflamed columnist. Crying over spilt milk is not wise, especially if the milk were the stuff that Drona had offered to Aswaththama, more […]
01 June 19 The flurry of economics related news that emerged on the aftermath of the swearing in ceremony at New Delhi was likely to be orchestrated. After all, at a time when some were vociferously arguing that every thing was hunky dory and Modi 2.0 needed more the same, there were others who without […]
31 May 19 Yesterday we saw clearly a change of guard, clearest ever signal of attendees at the PM swearing in representing the new ‘elite’ of India. An occasion for rising above the fray, above party politics was soured by the present of supposedly/allegedly slain BJP workers’ next of kin, only from West Bengal, which […]
