Fresh from watching a movie like LKG, which is a Tamil movie about as current on political milieu as Google, I can say that we are walking up to smell our filter coffees! It is really curious to see how a sometimes cliched and sometimes inspiring script can get your goat, with the central theme […]

Mission Shakti-Search for truth!
2 April 2019 Do we really need a debate over capabilities which we hope we will never actually deploy? Strategic affairs discourse in India has been repeatedly derailed because of a stance that we have, based on our ‘Hindu’ identity of being a peace loving people, incapable of animosity or military bearing in a world […]
1 April 2019 Somewhere along the path to development, between when India was a struggling third world country and when she became an economy in PPP terms and in real terms to be reckoned as within the G20, India’s mindset and her approach to health care changed. It is surprising that this mindset change was […]
31 March 2019 There is apparently no sense of proportion? It seems our post millennial world of the last two decades is such a riot of data, meta data as we call it, that humans are unable to make sense of how these strands relate to them and how they seem poorly equipped to handle […]

New Winds of Change:AOC
30 March 2019 I would never have found a first time congresswoman and that too representing New York (14th District) coming from a background like hers to be a subject of such interest. But here I am following her speeches and reading about her Green New Deal and her questioning of modern capitalism with its […]

In recent memory of popular culture, after the hit number ‘Rasputin’ by BoneyM […]
26 March 2019 I will not go into the economics of MIGS the version of UBIS( Universal Basic Income Scheme) that Mr Rahul Gandhi has finally announced yesterday, after it was worked on by economists, vetting by the CWC which includes Dr Manmohan Singh and Mr Chidambaram.

The Report: Part II
Money Monsters: Government to Mr Modi was series of departments perpetually making do with less. So we have all manner of ministries struggling to tide over shortage of funds. Many ministries simply leaned on their PSUs to manage non-budgeted expenditures. Just a simple look at the balance sheets of Navaratna PSUs will give away the […]
Despite being a person who loves to critically examine and perhaps even over analyse stuff, very briefly I can say what are the major thrusts where Mr Modi has kept the promise of his campaign when in government. These are as yet Signals because like many things, they will need the consensus of most governments […]
