I am amazed to see the no of my highly educated friends and relations who are still hard core BJP supporters and are not open to listening to any reason or argument. Feel very difficult to maintain cordial relationship with them.
Saw Parzania just now in Hotstar. Feeling dumb, shocked . Can such atrocities take place in any civilised society? It is a pity that Courts turned a blind eye to the Gujarat riots.
I am a Hindu. I visit Dargas, Churches, Temples, Gurdwaras , Buddhist temples, Jain temples and I do them repeatedly. I love to make donations to all these places. That is how we were taught and brought up.
Nirmala Sitharaman is saying that the Govt is not selling the assets but giving them on lease for 25 years. Can I request her to please lease to me her residence for 25 years without determine a fair market value? After 25 years I will return it in a dilapidated condition.
NDTV does a survey with Koo to show how 70% of the people think that monetization of assets by the Govt is a good move. Who doesnt know that Koo is mostly subscribed by BJP supporters.
I have never seen Indian society so drastically polarized.Every meet of family,with friends,with acquaintances tend 2 feventually get politically heated up, leaves an unpleasant note nd ends in a totally polarized manner.Very very unfortunate.Never seen such things n my lifetime.
After seeing the way the farmers of the country being treated by BJP , how can people of Bengal even think of voting for BJP? This needs to be widely spread as an election issue.
The VC of Vishwa Bharati University says that Prof. Amartya Sen never got Nobel Prize. He has been lying all along. Such hard core RSS scoundrels need to be immediately booted out. Disgrace to the nation.
I am a bit surprised that there is very little coverage on the breach of sovereign Guarantee by the Govt on GST. It has far reaching legal consequences. It strikes at the root of federalism and our constitution.
I find it strange that when the international media across the world telecast and reported on Mohua Moitra's speech on 7 facets of fascism, none of the leading print media in Delhi even reported on her speech. Sad and laughable.
Why is there no media coverage on the fact that Coalgate case collapsed in the High Court-after the collapse of 2G case. The song and dance created by BJP in 2014 was meant to mislead the voters.
A major controversy has erupted in Santiniketan in West Bengal as a big poster of Amit Shah has been hung . Below Amit Shah’s picture a faint small sketchy picture of Tagore appears making Tagore irrelevant. The local residents are furious.
Has anybody seen a 71 year old person wearing so much of bizzare multi colour fancy new dress on a daily basis as Modi does? What is he trying to prove? Does any other head of state in any other country dress that way?
After Tata Group and Infosys, now it is the Eicher group which is being attacked by TV Mohandas Pai -an ardent BJP supporter. A concerted attack on Indian industry leaders.
Central Vista Project should stand as a monument for all those who suffered and died in Delhi during the pandemic/Delhi riots. Just as today's IPL match in Delhi should be remembered as a circus organized in a crematorium.
What amazed me today was Sensex going up by 1400 points when the economy of the country is not doing well and sales of most of the big companies are stagnating. Dal me jaroor kutch kala hai.
With the payers, love and blessings of all my Twitter friends, I have undergone the surgery which lasted for more than 6 hours. Last night I have shifted from the ICU to my own room. But in terrible pain, running fever and on Oxygen support.
I would like to let all my friends and well wishers know that I have tested negative today and I am being released from the hospital tomorrow by noon time-after almost 25 days.
The way Mumbai International Airport was taken away from GVK and handed over to Adani will not inspire confidence amongst foreign investors to come and invest in India.
Modi is the most uncultured, uneducated and crass PM India ever had who does not even blink an eye in telling half truths and lies standing on the floor of the Parliament.
I believe that in the city of Kolkata alone BJP created 50,000 WhatsApp group spreading misinformation and putting communal poison in the minds of the people. God knows what they did state wise. Also shows their organization planning and execution of plan to perfection.
The Indian middle class people are still not understanding the magnitude of the economic disaster awaiting them in the form of sudden loss of jobs and income flow, the problems they would face in financing children’s education, the erosion of their life time savings and so on.
It pains me no end to see that in a diminishing democracy in India, the opposition parties getting demolished/splintered by a ruthlessly aggressive ruling party. There has to be a way forward. Watching silently can not be an option.

I am seeing on TV the spontaneous protests in Hong Kong and today in London -where they have already procured more than1.1 million signatures against suspension of the Parliament. Have the people lost their vision and spine in India?
Today I heard from a knowledgeable source that many people throughout the country are selling /pledging gold to borrow money because they have run out of money to run their day to day expenses.
I like the way the entire narrative on Demo, GST implementation, job crisis, Rafael deal, agrarian crisis, damaging the govt institutions have overnight been changed by a fanatical cry for nationalism just b4 the elections.
For the last 3/4 days I was feeling unwell -down with fever and sore throat. Today I tested positive. Getting admitted to Apollo tomorrow morning. Plz keep me in your prayers so that I can come back.
The cut off marks in St.Stephens for Economics is 99.5% and English is 99%. I don't think I would have got admission now if I tried. Thank God my student days are over.
A lot of start up companies in India have started retrenching people in hundreds. I doubt if any new unicorn has come up in India this year. Things are not as hunky dory as they are being made out to be.
If Ram Mandir is going to be made ready just before 2024 elections why should it not be considered as a brazen and shameless political gimmick to exploit the sentiments of Hindu people?
After the Assam incidence of today do people still think that we are any better than the Talibans? PM should be questioned on this incidence in US. Why are human rights activists staying silent?
Dumping of dead bodies in the river and he calls himself a Yogi!! Did India see such a horrible time in the last 500 years? Even during Mughal period it was much much better.
Came to know this afternoon that one dose Remdivisir vial is being sold in Delhi for Rs. 40000/- while the MRP if the medicine is Rs. 4400/-Shocking !!!.
As per BBC reports, a major scandal has hit the market involving HSBC Bank, StanChart Bank, Barclay's Bank, Deutsche Bank and so on. Major impact on market likely. No end of problems in 2020.
Raiding Twitter India office, Not accepting Cairn international Arbitration Award, Vodafone Arbitration Award , not giving approvals to Pfizer/Moderna vaccines-what sort of signals are we giving to the global investors?
Lost a close and old friend this afternoon in AIMS due to Covid. Her mother in law passed away 3 weeks back due to Covid. Blood plasma didn't work, Redmisivir didn't work. She was kept on ventilator. Didn't help. She left quite young. Feeling sad and depressed.
When I look at my neighbors, friends in Delhi/Gurgaon, Mumbai and other places-I find that they are all still staunch Modi supporters. I am the only odd person out. Do I live in a different planet?
Every day I am getting to hear about some acquaintance/friend/ relation/colleague testing positive for Covid. But don't understand the steady reduction of nos being reported by the Govt over the last few days.
One day when Corona will be gone, thousands of families will be broke with their entire life time savings gone on medical expenses. The gap between the havs and the have nots is really going to get very wide. Social realignment will take place.
We have never seen such a massive health and human emergency on a national scale ever before in the past. It is very depressing and scary. There is no family which has not seen a crisis in some form in recent times.
I am noticing something very strange. When Dr. Satyendra Jain, Delhi Health Minister was admitted to the hospital, daily health bulletin would come out in every channel. I am yet to see any daily health bulletin on Amit Shah/Dharmendra Pradhan.
From last night I am having an uncanny, uneasy instinctive feeling about the memories of Gujarat Massacre in 2002. Hope and pray that it does not get repeated.
The NRI Dotors in UK -keen to help India at the time of this crisis-have donated more than 1 million Pound to PM Cares Fund. Wish they knew that they are donating to an opaque Fund.
I could never imagine that people could stoop so low to convert the death of a young budding talented actor to a political slugfest to win a State election and malign another State Govt.
India has not witnessed this degree of ruthlessness of a dictatorship regime ever before in its history. Any dissent being judged as sedition. Judiciary has become a silent spectator. Much much worse than the Emergency days.
The sharply falling rate of positivity cases on a daily basis is appearing to be very intriguing to me from a common sense perspective. I think the Govt is trying to spin the positivity story very hard by drastically reducing the of daily tests.
Why do our opposition parties lack the fire in their belly to win all elections unlike the ruling party? It is never a do or die approach for them. Such a casual approach will not get them anywhere in 2019.

Went for a birthday meet at Gurgaon today. The menu included Luchi, Dal, kasha Mangsho, bara kabab, pulao, chilly crab curry, prawn malai curry, shorshe Ilish, pineapple chutney , 4 types of sweets, payesh and so on. Ate to my hearts content after a long time.
So much was written and spoken of post poll violence in Bengal. But what happened in Tripura today has crossed all laid down social norms, decorums and principles of democracy.
India has now touched 59 lakh Covid cases as against USA 's 69 lakh cases. By next week end more than 1 lakh people will be dead from Covid in India. These are the official figures- supposedly under reported.
We Indians feel very proud when any person of Indian origin occupies a high position in other countries. We even honour then in Pravashi Bharatiya get togethers.But when a foreigner comes to our country and occupies a high chair we only redicule and insult them.Bloody hypocrites.
