In JNU for the year-end dinner and celebrations. Wish JNU pass-outs @sonalkalra & @nsitharaman, and JNU dropouts @coolfunnytshirt & @KyaUkhaadLega were joining us. Promises to be a lively gathering of young and old students. Such a lovely place, such a lovely place.
In JNU to celebrate India's series victory, with a vegetarian dinner. Wish JNU dropouts @coolfunnytshirt and @KyaUkhaadLega, and their recently retired JNU professor @YRDeshmukh were here. But they refuse to show up even after repeated invites. Pity.
In JNU with @Abhina_Prakash to search for the Ram Lila site. Relieved we couldn't find it. Itching to inform JNU graduates @coolfunnytshirt & @KyaUkhaadLega, for they were rather alarmed at the prospect of Ravan Dahan inside this sacred territory. Can breathe easy now.
In JNU for dinner and drinks, and delighted to finally be in the company of JNU dropouts @coolfunnytshirt & @KyaUkhaadLega.

Comrade @KyaUkhaadLega has just returned from a trip to capitalist Europe and is so excited he can't stop talking about in while we drive around. Hear him:

"UPA using central agencies against my party, government." - @MamataOfficial, 2013. indiatvnews.com/politics/natio…
Mukul Roy aide quits party, says TMC not clean, alleges involvement of his boss in Chit-fund scam: indianexpress.com/article/cities…
NO ONE comes out clean in this, least of all the CBI that remains as servile and caged as it has always been.

But the fact that this is an SC-ordered investigation, and that Modi never obstructed the CBI when he was the CM, saves him the blushes. Not so the case with Mamata.

This is exactly what I am referring to. The govt is giving the people jigsaw pieces, hoping they would come together over coffee and assemble these to be able to see the final image. It needs to assemble these pieces on its own. Give out one, clear, precise, number.
Mudra is yet another jigsaw piece, like the EPFO and Ola and Samsung factory and other sundry anecdotal jigsaw pieces. All the govt needs to do is to assemble these and give out one precise number. That it isn't doing so is revealing in itself.
One more jigsaw piece.

Calling a report published by your own ministry as fake? NSSO data has been trusted for decades. 91% (GOI est) of Labour is in the informal sector. EPFO data cannot tell you what NSSO can. Job creation (hard data) and unemployment (survey) are coexisting. RELEASE the NSSO report.
Right now, the only way to gauge unemployment in the 485 million Labour Force, 91% of which is in the informal sector, is via a survey. This is not hard data, like EPFO. If we handed out unemployment dole, we'd know the number precisely. @ncbn has just launched the dole scheme.
Narrative was bound to shift, from Jobs created to Unemployment. Because
A. The opposition will only highlight bad news, perhaps rightly so.
B. The govt has never given a precise number of TOTAL jobs (formal and informal sector) created.
C. No mechanism put in place to gauge B.

Some few years ago, whilst conducting a research about traffic laws, I stumbled upon a blogger's extremely and vividly apt description of road users' attitude in the country. Just encountered it in my archives again and would love to share
Below are the observations of a foreigner residing in Jos, the capital city of Plateau State. Christie Winkler on her blog “Those Winklers” wrote:
1. Lanes are discretionary and surely one more car can fit – even if yours is going the opposite direction.
After all, every Nigerian driver knows to expect traffic from any direction at any given time. If there happens to be lines in the road, feel free to disregard them to turn, avoid potholes or get to your destination sooner.

Don’t fall for the ‘Incompetence’ message they’re trying to push to distract from ‘Corruption’. Nigeria’s largest-ever Social Welfare Prog @NSIP_NG, 6 million new TaxPayers, new $650m Infra Fund, attracting billions of $$$ in Agric Investments — AIN’T a definition of Incompetence
Let’s break it down a little bit. The @NSIP_NG: Nigeria has never had a more ambitious Social Welfare Programme, targeting the most vulnerable. 500,000 @npower_ng, more than 8 million kids for @NHGSFP, more than 300,000 households for @HUPcct, and 2m for @Trader_Moni by year-end.
Infrastructure: 2 major rail lines COMPLETED between 2015 & 2018, & during a recession. Abuja—Kaduna & Abuja Metro. No rail project completed between 1999 and 2015.

Another 2 standard-gauge Rail projects in progress. Ajaokuta-Warri and Lagos-Ibadan. I’ve visited both. See my TL.

ABVP invites Chief Ministers of three North-Eastern states to address a post-dinner public meeting at #JNU. I hope leftists don’t disturb the meeting as they often do. They use any issue to shout slogans, creat ruckus & deny the students their right to interact with the guests.
Heavy crowd at the Koyna to listen to the North-East Chief Ministers. Left has mobilised its usual goons to ‘protest’ ie to disrupt the meeting using standard violent tactics they always deploy. Heavy security too. #JNU
Leftist goons blocking the way. Not allowing NE Chief Ministers to enter the venue. Heavy sloganeering from both sides. #JNU

लेनिन गोरखपुर में पैदा हुए और उनको वास्तविक नाम लखविन्द्र शर्मा था।
कार्ति चिदम्बरम के जन्म के बरसों पूर्व लेनिन ही प्रथम भारतीय थे जिन्होंने कैश एवम् काईंड में घूस स्वीकार करने की परंपरा स्थापित की और शिष्यों की सब कुछ खाने की भावना के सम्मान में उन्हें सर्वहारा नाम से पुकारा
श्री लेनिन बुज़ुर्गों का बहुत आदर करते थे और भारतीय परंपरा के अनुसार उन्हें प्रेमवश बुर्जुआ पुकारते थे। रूसियों ने भाषा की समझ ना होने के कारण सभी बड़े लोगों को बुर्जवा कहना शुरू कर दिया।
