Negative news about the Nation deserve absolutely NO fact-checking!
So what if we end up eating crow, hainji?
Aren't we already used to that?
:D
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
Some WhatsApp chats should be leaked and stories done on them, while some WhatsApp chats are strictly private!
Samjhe kya?
🤣
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
From Madison Square in the USA to Mumbai, the entire world is our boxing ring .. WE . SHALL . KEEP . FIGHTING!
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
For those not aware of the Madison analogy, here is the 'Boxer Bhai' at his best in the USA. Freedom of speech, especially for others, can always be countered by physical violence, mind you!

Get me a photo.
Intern: Gets a photo of a woman aviator of the Navy in front of a Dornier which says 'NAUSENA' in boldest of letters!
Lekin confidence poora hai!

We are the Judge, Jury and Executioner, all rolled into one!
Oh, just in case someone calls us out for the hypocrites that we are, we can always reply with 'Ok, will see the video'!
Yup, we will spew nonsense without even bothering with facts!
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
This one reminded me of the song, 'Ek Chatur Naar'!
Indeed a clever one. Fooled MANY to believe it was the International Court of Justice that had an issue!
Btw, I am also thinking of moving a motion in my RWA to declare her an idiot. Let's see how it goes!
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
We WILL leak private conversations / chats of all and sundry with no regard to their right to privacy. But don't you DARE leak our conversations, we are warning you!
Btw, NO #Presstitute talking about the content wherein a colleague is actually instigating!
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
Only WE reserve the right to use foul language. And we will NOT fail to call you out if you dare usurp this exclusive 'privilege'.
Oh, and btw, you don't deserve the right to reply to our tweets either. FOE sirf hamare liye hai!
Got that, you IDIOTS?
🤣
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
We WILL let out serious sounding statements at our perceived loss of privacy .. BUT .. we will maintain a studied silence at the fact that that it might be a recorded conversation at either end that might have gotten leaked!
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
Also .. we will NEVER EVER acknowledge that our employees are looking to instigate victims to make statements of OUR choice and 'all that jazz'! opindia.com/2020/10/hathra…
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
We will keep on doing 'stings' and also reporting on 'exclusively accessed' private chats / conversations. There are absolutely no moral dilemmas in such a case .. but if someone does that to us, we will cry you a river!
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
Oh, btw, our editorial standards too are not very good either!
What to do .. getting good quality people who can do a basic fact check is so difficult these days, you see!
#YeBhaaratKePatrakaar
We will unfailingly report whatever you have to say.
And so committed are we to our job of 'objective' reporting that we will also TELL you what to say, before the cameras start rolling!

Folks, sharing some thoughts on Big Tech that has become an integral part of our daily lives as individuals as well as collectively.
The trigger was the massive outage of Microsoft devices some weeks ago. Have been having some thoughts since then.
Let's see how it goes..
First and foremost, here is a link to the outage of Microsoft devices due to some issue with CrowdStrike, for those who might have forgotten it. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/moc…
So many parts of our lives came to a halt, because someone somewhere screwed up!
It was a major news headline for atleast a couple of days.
And then, we moved on once things were back in order, dismissing this as a temporary hitch in our day-to-day existence.
:THREAD:
This tweet landed on my TL some time back.
More than the event itself, it was the mention of Bangladesh Army that got me thinking.
Sharing a chain of thoughts.
Still unstructured. Let's see how it goes ..
First thing I did was to go to the Wikipedia page of Bangladesh Army to confirm a hunch.
And true to my expectations, I saw the size of Bangladesh Army to be 160,000 troops!
To put things in context and why I found it amusing, I will just give a comparison with the British and the German Armies, sourced from Wikipedia itself.
British Army = Approx 79,000 Active Duty personnel
German Army = 63,000 personnel
Last night just as I was about to hit bed, this short thread landed up on my TL.
My first reaction was that this was inevitable!
Sharing some thoughts on this latest development.
Let's see how it goes ..
First and foremost, I will share this video of Dacca University, taken in March 1971, aired by NBC News 10 months later.
THIS is how the endgame of 1971 commenced - with the West Pakistani occupiers killing students and professors ..
MUST watch the video and hear the commentary
It seems almost like a Deja Vu all over again, doesn't it?
Given that the levels of violence for the time being aren't of similar nature, but students clashing with armed wings of the state is a dire reminded of what happened not very long ago ..
Sharing some thoughts on the #Bangladesh issue that has flared up over the past few days.
Thoughts are still unstructured, let's see how this thread goes ..
I will start by saying that If you STILL cannot hear the drums of war, you must be deaf indeed!
The wheels of history seem to be moving with increasing urgency lately, getting greased with more and more blood. Sad, as it may be, it is just history repeating itself.
The events that have transpired in Bangladesh over the past few days and weeks and months have been reported fairly widely, so I won't delve on them much.
But fact remains that it is just the latest in a series of countries ending up in chaos over the past couple of years.
This day in 1999, a young Captain by the name of Manoj Kumar Pandey was going gung ho, clearing Paakis in Khalubar.
Little would he have have known that he had just about 43 days more in this world, before he attained martyrdom, and with it, immortal fame ..
He led the most difficult tasks assigned to 1/11 Gorkha Rifles in the war, with full confidence in his fellow Gorkhas to deliver.
Here is a letter he wrote from the battlefield to a friend.
Download, Zoom & Read.
I INSIST.
