Dear @yonex please look at the quality of you AS 2 shuttles. I ran through 6 in one hour. If they cannot stand a smash from a middle aged economist, what happens when a pro hits it? Below is after just 3 rallies 1/n
One tube of imported Yonex shuttles costs 2k and will not last 2 hours of play. The Decathklon FSC390 is not as smooth but lasts longer and half the price. Cannot find any high end locally made ones 2/n
Incidentally, the Decathlon ones are also made in China. Wonder what happened to good quality ones from Ludhiana? I found only very poor quality ones in Delhi shops 3/n
And I have also learnt that @yonex_com is the correct handle....and my rant was being directed to some totally unconnected entity. :D

Covid19 is genuinely unpredictable. It will spare a country/region and then suddenly reappear in full rage. For almost a year it seemed that East & SE Asia had controlled it, but now Japan is witnessing spiralling numbers 1/n Image
If you are trying to correlate this spike to temperature/winter, note that same spike is happening in Malaysia that is near the equator and barely sees any seasonal variation. Indonesia is also seeing an acceleration 2/n ImageImage
Meanwhile, Vietnam is going about life as if nothing happened. Please don't try to argue that this is due to Vietnamese self discipline. Try crossing a road in HCM and you will know what I mean (much crazier than Delhi). Image

Why is @FT complaining? This is precisely what they & various international "experts" wanted India to do. It is inevitable if a large sum of money has to be spent suddenly. Do not blame UK bureaucrats & politicians. Hold the "experts" accountable. 1/n

Global gyaanis and columnists with zero accountability & skin-in-the-game give random advice, but never held responsible. Some of you will recall this article of mine written in response to Prof Stiglitz's comments on India's Covid response.
Indeed, the "advice" and the "assessment of success" changes according to the expert's political preferences. They will simultaneously criticise a strict lockdown & open strategies, and everything in between, without a hint of irony. 3/n

Yes, your journalist did speak to me but the article does not reflect the conversation and uses an arbitrary two word "quote". Would you like to hear the conversation? I have the full audio recording.
As promised, this is the full recording of my discussion with NYT journalist Suhasini Raj about the Indian response to the Covid19. Conversation starts at 1:50
2/n
30 of 40mins was about the thinking behind India's policy response. As will be obvious, the journalist was not interested. She already had an agenda to push a pre-decided story. When I did not play along, she tries in the last 10 mins to put words in my mouth 3/n

In March, just before the lockdown, I climbed up up Dhosi hill with @ArjunSKadian. Near Haryana Rajasthan border, this hill has great historical importance as it was home to Rishi Bhrigu & his clan.1/n
The Bhrigus are both respected and somewhat feared alchemists in the Vedas. It was here that Bhrigu's eldest son Chavana invented early ayurveda medicine (including Chavanyaprash) 2/n
Dhosi is an extinct volcano & the top has a flat depression with a small temple of the Bhargava clan & the kund where Chavana is said to have been cured of disease by taking a dip. There is also a cave where he meditated. 3/n

......but France may be past the 2nd wave peak

france24.com/en/france/2020…
Meanwhile Germany, which had ducked the worst in the 1st wave, is in danger of becoming the new hotspot in the second wave. It saw 23k new cases in 24 hrs, same as France, but the numbers are still rising

In memory of my father's cousin, Shyamal Dev Goswami, who was awarded the Mahavir Chakra for showing exemplary courage while directing artillery fire against invading Chinese troops during the Battle of Chusul Nov 1962
1/n
His outpost held out against overwhelming Chinese force till rest of his unit had been killed & he had passed out. SDG then struggled back to Indian lines albeit suffering severely from frost bite. Here is a description of events 2/n
The heroic resistance of SD Goswami and his unit is still commemorated in the army station at Chushul, Ladhakh. These events need to be remembered given the recent developments in the area. 3/n
