Wrote a long-form piece on why it is in the fitness of things to award Sangita Kalanidhi to KJ Yesudas, and why he was the one who really took Carnatic music to new social spheres and not the likes of, ahem, TMK. (The award is usually announced in March) swarajyamag.com/culture/why-th…

@sunda_m For the newspaper, he is irrelevant to the larger story it is reporting. Of course, for those of us in this platform, it is vital info. But that is a totally different tale.

@kbalakumar Sir That embedded part itself is not being reported. For those not on this platform but believe whatever TNM spouts... are not told that the EX-TNM is embedded. I know kids who believe that portal to be some resistance fighters.

#TangentialPost Whenever I see the usage 'keep mum' in a news headline, I'm reminded of the incident when HT had a news item on Gulzarilal Nanda, "Nanda decides to keep mum”. The headline was cut out, pasted on a postcard and returned to the sub-editor by the cricket commentator Pearson Surita who’d added the postscript: “Dad furious”.
