The outgoing CJI will be remembered for a single thing - unprecedented, blind loyalty to the govt, overtaking even Ranjan Gogoi. Up ahead: governor? RS? BJP ticket?

How Google translate assumes gender (I tried these translations out now, inspired by @JediKhare's tweet/thread).
Oddly though while the first translation of a term follows gender stereotypes, subsequent or derivative usage is translated variously. So some balancing is happening.
But lawyers, journalists and TV anchors are male. Nurses, cooks female. (@karunanundy fyi)

The Heritage Transport Museum in Taoru, Gurgaon is extraordinary. Four floors of transport history, from tramcars and vintage cars to boats and aircraft and books and art. Rs 400 ticket, more than worth it. Great audio commentary. 46 km, 75 min fm Delhi airport. Plan a full day.

Maruti 800, so full of smileys.
Rajdoot GTS (Bobby. Also, the dream bumper raffle prize at Xavier Fair back in school, 1980s).
Chevy Impala and other big American cars.

A streetcar named desire: lovely wood bodied tramcar from Calcutta, first class, complete with ads for Bush Radio, Milkmaid, Linton's and others

Uber/Ola strike tomorrow? So my Uber driver from DEL airport told me. Also told me reasons - which sound grim. Uber/Ola have become unsustainable for the driver-partners who have invested in cars, and they're badly stuck--with situations similar to farmers with loans.
My @Uber_Delhi driver was extremely articulate. He asked me what I knew about their economics. Then he explained: "Uber/Ola take 60% of what you pay. Uber charges you over Rs 10/km, gives me 6.40 less 20%. My fuel expenses are 3.50 / km. I'm left with less than 1.70/km." 2/4
"That gives me a max Rs 500 a day earnings, if I can drive for 16 hours and 200 km a day, killing myself. After meals and sundry expenses, I am left with 200..250 a day. This car you're in cost 8 lakh. I haven't paid EMI for 3 months. How do I pay?" my Uber driver continued. 3/4
