Firsthand account of #Corona crisis in TN
My 8yr old niece & 80yr old uncle tested +ve
Hence my brother took a test for all the others at home. Himself, wife, son, in-laws. Report +ve for everyone except bro.
Corporation called my brother this morning & scolded him for testing They asked him why he had to test for everyone& increase the cases, instead he should have simply home quarantined himself🤬
Appalled at the contrast in handling this. Same @chennaicorp last year was so helpful& considerate when my neighbour tested +ve
Now abusing people

The argumentative India

We love to debate many things - no everything actually. Even if we agree we love still love a good discussion.

i get to see recommendations, at times ridicule of who is a guru - how he must dress, speak, behave and even live. Image If i knew how someone else should be then why am i not all that? duh! i am not a realised being yet. I dont know the very fundamental nature of life. But i do know how everyone else ought to be in order to receive a tick in my teenie tiny mind box.

somewhat like this Image

twitter keeps me on bounce! so i request all the other handles to please take these questions forward.

1. (how) & why did the imbecile who was the face in the karuppar kootam video go to pondicherry?
1/n
2. Why was he not arrested right away but given a chance to appear with his motley gang, garland a statue & make an abusive speech about the constitution? Why did the Pondy govt not react with speed? 2/n
