After 16 days of COVID i mixed my father’s ashes into a rose plant and two evergreen trees, sought his blessings, and return my broken heart to the reporting road for @themojostory starting travels through rural India. This will be a personal pilgrimage. Wish us luck and love

@nirupamakotru 💜💜 such a long journey from no women to no women in res to this

I am proud of my alma mater;it's come a long way from being the Boys' Club it used to be in the 1980s. Not that there weren't any outspoken women around in that decade and thereafter,but boys dominated the discourse,unlike in @JNU_official_50 which welcomed me into its fold when I left @StStephensClg after completing my graduation. After all the college(SSC) has had an uncomfortable history when it comes to gender-after the initial years when there were a few women students studying in college,it became a all-boys' college in 1950 and turned co-educational only in 1975. Hence women were relegated to the background. I remember envying my friends in @mirandahouse_ for instance, coz they were far more outspoken than I was. I missed having that opportunity. In JNU everyone had a voice. Everyone,regardless of their background or gender. Hence this shift (having a lady principal) truly gladdens my heart. Stephen's has always been a great educational institution and I hope it continues to lead ❤️ StStephen's college rules ✌️

🚨Repost for Help : Kargil War hero Shankar Singh has been chained for 13 years- share as possible don't just skip An ex-army soldier from Rajasthan fought for India in the 1999 Kargil War. After returning, he developed severe mental illness. For the last 13 years, his family has been forced to keep him chained at home for safety. His wife says they spent everything on treatment and begged authorities for help — but got none. This brave soldier who defended the nation now needs our help. Share to raise voice for veteran welfare. Better treatment & support needed urgently. Jai Hind 🇮🇳 Credit: Shankar Singh family 🙏

The PM has not just doubled down on his austerity measure proposals; he is suggesting online classes. The government is preparing us for pain but also sounds like they know something bigger or worse is on the anvil. Covid redux. All thanks to Trumps madness

India braces for a bumpy ride ahead after Modi's caution on gold, WFH, foreign travel- a fiery debate with near unanimity against election freebies & tax policies - with @Tehseenp @Gurcharandas @nayyardhiraj @Hash_tag_most @itsanuragnaidu. In full youtube.com/watch?v=8hl0l7…

Modi lists a series of advisable measures- including not buying gold for a year, avoiding international travel , car-pooling and work from home - in a nod to an imminent energy crisis thanks to Trump’s reckless and mindless Iran war

"Stalin has all the leverage"- fiery debate with @SumanthRaman @Tehseenp @Sanjayuvacha @Sugataraju @KasthuriShankar - with agreement on just one thing- Vijay's fate hangs by several fragile threads. In full youtube.com/watch?v=mKl1wY…

@Hash_tag_most Completely ruthless the whole thing -

@BDUTT Thats why politics is a blood sport; no empathy, complete disregard for people's mandate. Imagine VCK with 2 MLAs wanting 1 Deputy CM post & another ministerial berth AND total support from TVK for their candidate in the 2nd seat that Vijay vacates !!! #BloodSport

New age politician felled by old age politics- Vijay’s naïveté beginning to show as he ties himself in knots over claims of support , that are later contested, he is being played like a fiddle by the big daddies

There are only memes left to express what’s happening in Tamil Nadu now - with parties hiding their MLAs - and no clarity on Vijay’s government formation
