I had lost interest in political arena , it was sometime in late 2003/4 , when I was on a holiday to India, I had the pleasure of visiting Bhuj, reconstruction miracle against all odds; I was
2. Impressed and it takes helluva lot to do that, for basically I had given up the idea that India would have better days. A classmate from school , a doctorate in Ayervedha , an RSS from school days, and another mate from college in the civil services (Gujarat cadre), made it
3. Possible and worthwhile , my trip to Gujarat. One look at the man , I told both these blokes, this guy one day will be the PM of this country and the strength with which I put it across to them, they were surprised. We dropped the subject , and late mid 2000 , I returned
4. Permanently to India, but was not involved in political arena, till 2010, when using the only near complete Act of law , the RTI ACT 2005, used it as a tool ,played albeit a small role in bringing down #DMK,in 2011. I claim no credits except a moral victory. In 2014 an online
5. Portal , run by an Indian American , gave me a free hand to be an anchor on the upcoming elections - poor thing lost almost all their advertisement revenues , for I kept stating it's BJP all the way, and political honchos like #MSubramaniamofDMK, @jothims of congress, one
6. Vijaya something also of congress, @uvasuki of CPM among a few others called me a novice. In 2019 I had no interest , because I was sure that they'll be back with a larger majority - being street smart is necessary to be a psephologist. I rest my case and one can mark this
Tweet , the 3rd term is also theirs. #HBD_NAMO70 God bless
Our interpretation of constitutional law has become a classic example of human stupidity. Let me explain.
The common law is our law by virtue of Article 372 of the constitution. It is founded on two simple principles, ‘res judicata’ and ‘stare decisis’, namely, precedent.
Res judicata means a decision in a case between A and B will bind and them, but not C and D who were not parties to it, in other words, it will not bind 'res inter alios', namely, third parties. The doctrine of 'stare decisis' or precedent means that the reason for the decision,
When I was in school, I was one among the 5 chosen for republic day parade, at Delhi. Very young , a trip to Delhi was far important than the parade itself, which I realised later was a fallacy.. those few days were to change the course of my life in later days, when I was
seriously contemplating leaving the leftists movement (it was very difficult those days, as I was holding office right from my SFI days - a part of these harsh realities later was depicted in the Tamil magazine KALKI in a serial story); was growing up, and was keen on doing well
socially (what a farce that turned out to be), though I continued to pen articles on political issues (certainly against DMK was priority), I had an opportunity to go abroad. It was a good stint and from the beginning I was sure of wanting to come back - which I did eventually.
Wuhan - china virus , 2020 was a beginning - with breaks here and there ,without respite , the virus spread was and is scary. Today TN reports ,number of cases increasing , discharges are lesser, yet they're stopping testing for Omicron; vague statement stating that by the time
testing is completed they've recovered - I don't understand the logic - do you ? @thangapushpam03@pardhu_leo ? Temples are closed/ Normal life has now become a new normal which people seem to be forgetting - added to this was my surgery ,which another dimension to the new normal
Where/when/how this is going to end seems to be a question without an answer. Somehow my native town and the district has escaped the wrath so far, but today I heard scary reports of the wholesale market being flooded with people - and the next 2 days is going to be more . I have
The Bitter Truth !
Yesterday, a software guy welcomed his Japanese onsite coordinator to his office in Bengaluru, and it actually changed his life. Let him explain what happened.
Soon after receiving him at the airport with formal pleasantries, I took him in our company cab,
and in no time, we were already chugging along the busy roads of Bengaluru. As expected, we struck up a conversation starting with the weather, and gradually moved towards topics like development, cleanliness, etc.
I think he initially hesitated to say this, but after some
familiarity & comfort, he opened up & said that India has good talent but is unfortunately very underdeveloped. I was quick to remind him that India was actually a superpower till the 10th Century, and pointed out to him that this was all due to the 500 years of Mughal rule &
#Twitter I need to thank this platform for this where I learnt that #verified (whatever that means), except a couple of them, steal your tweet and people believe ,boy what knowledge!🤔; I also learnt that in matter of minutes people become seasoned phesphologists, economic expert
Sports journalists,advisors to the PM and also the opposition ,critics par excellence of art in all forms, experts on law ,especially the constitution(s), exponents of philately and what not. Boy oh! Boy it's a great learning ground indeed.
P.S. you want to spit on this tweet do
