    I want to thank everyone who read, shared and commented upon my piece today. My goal was to capture my own hopes and despair, and in the process convey a little bit of how some of you may be feeling. Going off Twitter for the rest of the weekend. 🙏

    Let’s remember that people like @zoo_bear have sacrificed a lot to make sure India’s democracy doesn’t die in darkness.

    Got a call from my younger son at 11 AM, The first thing he asks is, "So you'll get back your passport from the Delhi Police at least now?" 😀

    This is the most personal thing I’ve ever written. A lot of you won’t share my pessimism. That’s fine. I, too, swing between blinding hope and crushing despair. But how about a “behind-the-scenes”? A short thread to set the context for this long piece?

    Zoom in, look at his face. He’s just a boy. Who’s he doing it for? Meanwhile, the rich only want a “free market” in vaccines.

    SBI should learn a lesson from Ericsson’s lawyers in RCom case. My take on how an unsecured creditor walked away laughing, while banks are still waiting to see any money.

    At the end of March 31, SBI had total assets that were more than 3,500 *times* Adani Capital’s. But hey, SBI needs to partner with this small NBFC, which has 60+ branches according to its website, to “connect with the underserved farming segment of the country.”

    Just 15 minutes into Season 2, and I am reminded — not that I’d ever forgotten — why Inspector Hathi Ram Chaudhary is perhaps the best-developed character on Indian OTT so far. (No spoilers, please.)

    Not conducting a census can also, among other things, wipe out extreme poverty.

    Detestable as it was, it wasn’t the comment about India’s independence being a charity that shook me. It was the claps that did it. Those claps were the apogee of Two Minutes Hate.

    I ask Justice Chandrachud why he permitted the survey of the Gyanvapi mosque in Benares, despite the law banning any change in the character of religious structures. He said because it is "undisputed" that prayers have taken place "through the ages" inside the mosque’s cellar.

    You just listen to @_YogendraYadav here and you know why @PrannoyRoy7749 today said that he can just go on listening to him. One brilliant point after another.
