Will you not write #RIPfornikita. चमचे कहीं के. वल्लभ गढ़ तक का पेट्रोल नहीं भरवाया गाड़ी मे. #StayHomeStaySafe बाहर निकलोगे तो जनता जूते मारेगी. मौका परस्त कहीं के, 😠😠
Was Percy in our SC batch of 1991, Shashi? I somehow can't place him.
It is rare for me to search for words while making an announcement; hence here’s me keeping it simple — I’ve tested positive for #COVID and would request those who came in contact with me to get themselves tested at the earliest 🙏
Agree totally with @Jairam_Ramesh. Most Committee Chairmen have been requesting this; I've been asking for it since June! Surely it's not beyond India's technological capacity to devise a secure conferencing system? @ombirlakota @MVenkaiahNaidu
Many MPs and I have been demanding that Parliament's Standing Committees be allowed to have meetings virtually. These demands were rejected repeatedly. Day before a Committee of the Kerala Assembly met virtually. Hope @ombirlakota & @MVenkaiahNaidu will take the cue at least now.
Interesting analysis of how Indians & Indian-Americans are reacting to Sen. @KamalaHarris' candidacy, by @StuteeMishra. It's those who realise that she won't always applaud everything the Indian government does, who are less enthusiastic about her winning:

We all know Kerala's Left Govt has no real ideology, but this incident, of its conducting a health survey w/a Canadian NGO that it had bitterly opposed with @INCKerala was in power, just confirms it: caravanmagazine.in/politics/is-ke…
Kerala's Communists have no principles: why listen2them?

Sad news that a close friend from childhood, a contemporary in two schools (Campion Bombay & St Xavier's Calcutta), passed away last night of #Covid19 complications. Even as I mourn Percy Ghandy, a true gentleman of uncommon decency, I urge all of you to #StayHomeStaySafe. RIP.

Interesting 24 hours ranged from addressing a condolence meeting for Dr Joseph Mar Thoma Metropolitan to keynoting EU-India Consultations on Cyberspace, & ended with a three hour meeting of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Information Technology to discuss 5G. Goodnight!
He was a wonderful figure & a good friend who overcame huge challenges. Despite topping the university he was not allowed to receive his degree at the same convocation event as his classmates; such was the prevalent casteism. Rose2be Ambassador to the US &China, minister,VP&Pres!

Badri Raina's analysis of the Bihar elections suggests a movement away from the homogenised, unitary politics of the last 6 years to echo federal aspirations in non-NDA states. By electing the gathbandhan & @yadavtejashwi, Bihar can show the way:

Amazing. So the PM (who will not even name the state that has encroached upon our land) is planning a war against an Unnamed Enemy, over territory he claims has never been taken, on a date that only he knows? So is this what he meant by "minimal government"!?

Day 9- Siddhidaatri: സിദ്ധിധാത്രി
നവരാത്രിയിൽ അവസാനദിവസം സിദ്ധിധാത്രിയെ ആരാധിക്കുന്നു. ഭക്തര്ക്ക് സർവസിദ്ധികളും പ്രധാനം ചെയ്യുന്നു. താമരപൂവില് ഉപവിഷ്ടയായ ദേവിക്ക് നാലുകരങ്ങളാണുള്ളത്. ചക്രം, ഗദ, താമര എന്നിവ ഏന്തിയ ദേവിയുടെ വാഹനം സിംഹമാണ്.

This heartfelt plea from an ordinary citizen is a reminder of how tough the times are for most people. Is this Govt capable of acting efficiently to curb prices of daily essentials?
Bring down the onion, potato and tomato prices please. @PMOIndia @narendramodi. With job loss and limited budget, it's tough to sustain through when essential commodities prices are skyrocketing like this😓😓 @nsitharaman.

Why has India stopped asking China to restore status quo ante? MEA says "the immediate task is to ensure a comprehensive disengagement of troops in all the friction areas." A troop disengagement will leave China's land grabs intact, unless it is conditioned on PLA's full pullout.
