A lot of people are sharing this article... a Modi cheerleader finally questioning the government.

This is not just a matter of too little, too late... but too devious. There's masterful spin wizardry at play.

Hear me out. Thread.
"Your admirers and well-wishers are crestfallen by your silence to questions about your government's ability to tackle the pandemic. You have weathered many personal and natural storms."

Brings in the disappointment, but immediately harps on platitudes of praise.
"During COVID-19's first wave, you were hailed for containing the virus faster than other countries."

Exactly. That is what you, Mr. Chawla, and your ilk did wrong.

Vaccinated! 💉

Took the first jab at a rural community health center on the outskirts of #Gurgaon. instagr.am/p/COexevKsMXy/
Listening to 'Aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai...' 🎶
When you're searching for a vaccine appointment, look for options by district (to also include rural centers).

Also, look for nearby towns. I was okay traveling a distance to get it early. In Gurgaon, for example, I searched for Nuh, Faridabad, Palwal, Jhajjar, etc.

"मैंने 1984 में हुई भोपाल गैस त्रासदी के दौरान भी फोटो क्लिक किए थे, लेकिन इतना भयावह दृश्य मैंने आज तक नहीं देखा था।"

- Sanjeev Gupta, the photojournalist who took the photo of 40 burning pyres in Bhopal.

Translation:
I've covered the Bhopal gas tragedy in 1984 but haven't seen anything as horrific as what I saw yesterday.
Mindnumbed and mindfucked.

Bharti Airtel has announced a new corporate structure to sharpen focus on digital.

The company will have four distinct verticals - Digital, India, International, and Infrastructure.
Last year, I wrote about Airtel's apparent transition from a connectivity player to focus on digital and enterprise services.

Diversify or die, I had written in @MorningContext.

The new corporate structure underlines the new focus.

themorningcontext.com/internet/overs…
Airtel Digital: It will house all of the digital assets like Wynk Music, Airtel X stream, Airtel Ads, Airtel Secure, Airtel Cloud and all future digital products and services.

All the telecom businesses will be housed in a newly created entity, Airtel Limited.

What's your favorite app for mutual funds?

If you've used more than one, why do you prefer one over the other?
Quite a lot of replies!

- Kuvera and Groww are more popular
- Even though Zerodha is very popular for stocks (Kite), not many mentions of Coin, their MF app
- Not one Upstox user while they are in middle of their marketing blitzkrieg.
- No mention of ET Money, the app I use
ET Money was quite early, and I used it on someone's recommendation. I'm a tech guy, not a fin expert.

Good options, and diverse products. I've even bought gold, insurance, etc. from them.

Too many things (even a spends tracker) make for a cluttered UI/UX.
