The joy I experienced last week - it was my aunt's 80th birthday last week. To us turning 80 is celebrated with rituals etc., With Covid playing havoc, my cousin who's in the middle East called up a couple of days earlier , and collectively as a family using technology made a
2.short video, my aunt's friends,relatives, Kith and kin wishing her a happy birthday and sent in the video at 00.00 hours which she saw 1st thing in the morning. All were thrilled , a lot of joy , some tears of emotion, and so on. This morning I was surprised a call from U.S.,
3. Another cousin lives - it was such a shocking surprise - and her father, my maternal uncle turns 80 on October 07. She wanted to know if I could organise another video for this man, and I said yes - I further said we will do either a Jio talk or Zoho call. After a little
3. hesitation, both her husband and she said yes - possibly they're used to zoom only - her only worry was how will my uncle handle it ! I've said not to worry. She will speak to all concerned , send in the details to me and I'll connect . This video was a shocker as I think all
Will go well. Having been a sort of recluse within the family , it's nice to know you're wanted. Thanks Prof for this wonderful video. #Nostalgia

#OurInterpretationofConstitutionalLawhasBecomea #ClassicExampleofHumanStupidity
Mathews J Nedumpara
#LongThread_needsPatience -read and RT
Two things are infinite, said Einstein: the universe and human stupidity.
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
so on your TL, not on mine. #JaiHind
