1/n I think it is the law of physics which makes it impossible for me to be able to have a meal at a restaurant without visiting it. So what about quoting a number without enrolling for it ? Let’s take it further- can I “obtain” an Aadhaar # w/out enrolling for it first?
2/n Why then does 139AA have the word “obtain” [nice, handy word], instead of “enrol”? Do we obtain an A.# before or w/out enrolling for it? So, how did those who framed the Amendment come up with an impossible proposition,
3/n suggesting that mere “eligibility” can result in our magically having “obtained” what we are eligible for? They stayed miles away from saying “Every person who is eligible to ENROL for an Aadhaar number shall, ..” cos the word “enrol” is a hot potato, right?
4/n Surprisingly, I haven’t heard the words “compensation for stress caused ” -not yet, at least.. Fix the glitch [if any] in the online form to include N.A., cos those who haven't enroled can't quote what they do not have & are not legally bound to have.

" (1) Every person who is eligible to obtain Aadhaar number shall, on or after the 1st day of July, 2017, quote Aadhaar number—.."
Selectively avoiding "his/her/one's" before "Aadhaar" provides a generous amount of ambiguity. BUT,it can be "his/her/one's " only IF one has
2/3 enrolled! So, is "Every person who is eligible.." proper?
1/n twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
At least one TV channel has focused on this topic, though quite a bit of the program is out of focus here.
@ 0:11 " ...a photo copy of their Aadhaar, the Press Release.." Didn't want to say "Aadhaar card" & couldn't say "Aadhaar #" ? Elsewhere, too.
2/n @ 1:04 "...Press Release, withdrawing the warning.." . Qs: Was the "warning" withdrawn, or was the Press Release withdrawn?
@ 1:14 "..normal prudence while sharing Aadhaar numbers." Qs: What does "sharing" Aadhaar numbers mean?
@ around 2:20 Ms Nappinai speaks of pvt entities
3/n whose verification process would be impacted. We must thank her for this, cos we can see that the Press Release warning was about issues affecting the public,while the withdrawal was possibly due to impact on pvt entities.
@ 3:54 "..it is supposed to be voluntary.." It would
1/n There seems no debate reg the jab being unable to prevent infection,however,it's claimed that it may reduce severity of illness.If so,taking the jab is of PERSONAL benefit to the person jabbed,not to others,cos he can still get &can give infection.
2/n Subtle point:"that most vaccines may be unable to stop transmission ..".Doesn't this refer to transmission of infection FROM the jabbed to others,rather than transmission TO the jabbed?Clarity,pl.Also:"despite being fully vaccinated. A few have even taken a third shot..".
3/n What is the present critea for being considered "fully vaccinated",since they are being allowed to travel,etc while those "unvaccinated" are not? How soon will they be considered unvaccinated and disallowed travel,while only the Boosted face no restriction ? What will happen
1/n Overheard in a crowded bus:"Excuse me, is my eye hurting your elbow " ? If that didn't get your attention, this article in the TOI & these questions certainly will. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/got-your…
2/n If "convince" turns into "coerce", will the TOI not be entitled to take credit for it? A thin line separates 'suggest','encourage' & 'incite', is it not? As for how can another Covid wave be stopped? Well, the answer might just be found in this TOI news report below,
3/n which says that fully jabbed persons may also silently transmit the infection to their children, elderly and vulnerable persons. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/dont-…
1/n Thanks to all this talk of PAN,I had a strange dream last night.I was at an Electronics store,wanting to return a Bluetooth speaker & this is how it went with the salesman-Me: I want to return this speaker,it worked well for a week, but has stopped working now. Him: Yes, sir,
2/n so what's the problem? Me: Problem?It is dead,doesn't work, kaput, finito. Him: I see. Well, don't you know that it has a lifetime warranty sir,pl look at the card. Me: Yes, that's why I'm upset that it is dead,isn't working. Why is that? Him: Sir, you have answered your own
3/n question. It doesn't work because it is dead. It worked perfectly during it's lifetime,but now that it is dead it has stopped working. Even you wouldn't work if you were dead. Me: IT'S lifetime?! It is supposed to work right through MY lifetime,what do you mean! Him: Sir,
