31 December 2023 It is very easy to sign off with a note of optimism in usual times. However, the previous days that club to become this 2023 have been any thing but usual. In 2022, no one thought that Ukraine would continue to be on the boiler, but now we face the opening up […]

Selective espousal of universal concerns mars liberal champions and delegitimises their cause! 19 July 2023 In a fortnight from now, #Ukraine will enter a new phase of this hybrid campaign, not just with the advent of cluster munitions into the battle zone supplied by Americans, but beyond the turf of Ukrainian ‘meat grinder’ fields, and […]
4 November 2021 From almost the very start, the pull out of China from the high table for discussions on COP26 targets was like saying that there would be an examination with no compulsory attendance and whose results would have no bearing on the academic record!

7 July 2021 It would seem like a world gone awry and it has happened too frequently that now science appears sagacious, forewarning us homo sapiens of the coming apocalypse that is #ClimateChallenge.

06 June 2021 There cannot be a more significant day in the recent history of our world as the Normandy Landings, Operation Overlord as it was coded. If 1944 appears distant, popularly called D Day, few would have imagined how antisemitism that led to the horror of the Jewish Holocaust would now see the face […]
19 February 2021 Did any one thing that having a common border with Mexico or being the self styled ‘Lone Star’ state would leave Texas in a sense of splendid isolation, bring it grief on a ‘rainy’ day? Actually what should have been a normal winter of snows, a spell of white weather, has turned […]
