A perfect Leave Application
Dear HR
I am suffering from corona virus and request you to grant me paid leave for 20days. Otherwise I will come to office .........😂😂😂
I am devastated to lose my husband, my mentor and soul mate. I will always be spiritually guided by John as I pursue my purpose. Rest in Peace my darling John. Thank you for making my life so very special. I will miss you profoundly
The vaccine situation in India is like arranged marriage. First u r not ready, then u dont like any, then u dont get any!!
Those who got are unhappy thinking may be the other one would have been better. Those who did not get any are willing to get any one😅
I agree with Dr Devi Shetty - hospital beds don’t treat or save Covid patients; it’s nurses n doctors n we need to augment this vital Human Resource.
@narendramodi
@drharshvardhan
pls consider deploying graduating nurses n mbbs doctors through Covid service by giving credits
Very concerned about why vaccines are in such short supply. Can we please know where the 70 million doses are being deployed every month?
@MoHFW_INDIA
We need better transparency to avoid the suspense. If a timetable of supplies is made public people can patiently wait their turn
Azim Premji’s generosity knows no bounds - he has just extended his philanthropy to ~$21 Bn including 67% of economic ownership of WIPRO - I salute his awesome philanthropy with deep respect n admiration.
Just visited a Mohalla clinic in saket, Delhi which was most impressive. Neat & clean n very efficient. I spoke to the people who said it was a boon for the Mohalla. Need to replicate this model across the country.

I just studied the Maharashtra and BMC model of decentralised Covid management n super impressed with it’s uniquely thought out processes Kudos to

I am surprised that that Govt is not paying heed to Dr Devi Shetty’s call to deploying graduating nurses n MBBS doctors for Covid service. There is a crying need for augmenting Human Resources and the response of the Govt is too slow and bureaucratic

"Bit Too Long": Prashant Kishor To Centre On 21-Day Coronavirus Lockdown - Pls do not make such statements without understanding the scientific rationale. I believe it’s the right move n it will help us to take informed decisions based on more test data
Scanray, a Mysuru based medical devices manufacturer exports ventilators to Europe. They can produce 5000 per month GOI needs to procure these urgently. Infact they could ramp up even more

The Government has actually provided a huge opportunity to tech start ups to leverage the App ban n create new and innovative Apps. If they miss this opportunity they have themselves to blame. This can revive tech jobs in a big way.
I am delighted that Train18 had a flawless first commercial run n I congratulate ICF for fixing the glitches so fast. I am sure this will be the start of a big journey for fast trains inour country. Look fwd to travelling in Train18 someday soon.
Most disappointed at lack of bold measures in stimulus packages - don’t think demand will be created n consequently economic activity will be stifled ₹20 lakh crore was a huge amount n it was meant to stimulate economic revival n growth

Karnataka has always forged inclusive economic development and we must not allow such communal exclusion- If ITBT became communal it would destroy our global leadership.

So very proud that my dear friend Sudha Murthy was awarded the Padma Bhushan - she has always inspired me with her sense of social equity and I salute her for her untiring endeavour to serve the underserved Jai Hind 🙏🇮🇳
Since we have lost our sense of humour I am deleting my tweet - why has everyone become so serious? I can’t believe that folk actually think I am seriously suggesting that tax payers get priority over others!!
Why is
@WHO
not researching the virulence of COVID19 in terms of warming weather conditions. It is an RNA based virus which is known to be fragile at increased temperatures. So far highest virulence seems to be in regions where temperatures are sub 20 deg. C.
Since I don’t want to hear any more abusive tweets I apologise for responding to media news on Train18 n admit that I don’t understand the locomotive sector well to opine on what went wrong. I am glad it’s back on track n wish Train18 all success n congratulate ICF engineers
Just visited the magnificent Taj Mahal with overseas guests after many years n very disappointed to see that UP Tourism has not even bothered to landscape n maintain the beautiful gardens. If Oberoi Amar Vilas can do it why can’t Govt? Poor governance! Who’s accountable?
Nykaa Founder Becomes India's Wealthiest Self-Made Female Billionaire - fantastic debut! Congrats Falguni Nayar - you make us women entrepreneurs very proud 👏👏👏
E-cigarettes banned, says Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman - Shd this not come from Min of Health? How about banning gutka too? How about MoF announcing some fiscal measures to revive economy?
Isn’t it crazy that Covid19 testing is more expensive than the vaccines? We must get testing below $5 - especially rtPCR tests. Pool testing can get to this price point.
Supreme Court Orders All Coronavirus Tests To Be Made Free - a judgement that will severely affect testing. Pvt labs simply cannot be expected to run their businesses on credit.

India is now a fallen team that needs to regroup and reinvent itself for the next World Cup. It’s depressing to watch a game where there is no contest.
You are talking nonsense. Our PM’s travel routes have to remain uninterrupted n this is a serious breach OK? This is not about defaming the sentiments of Punjab but about defaming security protocols in Punjab

U just talk without seeing facts. U people r hell bent on defaming Punjab and it’s people. First u call agitating farmers Khalistani’s, Antinational etc. Because of bad weather they wanted to cancel the rally and as a cover put the blame on the state Govt as elections r near.
People should demand funds to resurrect temples - unfortunately we don’t respect our heritage in our country be it temples or museums. Govt must allocate funds to prevent such neglect
Although my immediate response to the budget was satisfactory, now that I’ve read the fine print I must say I’m less optimistic about strong economic revival. In fact removal of exemptions n DDT will hurt individual tax payer n affect consumer spending. Why no export incentives?
I pray n hope
@nsitharaman
announces a GST waiver for 6 months to revive demand. We barely collected ₹1 lakh Cr per month n it would be less than ₹6 lakh Cr for 6 months if we waive GST n would be a true stimulus to boost supply n demand.

The delta variant was devastating in the 2nd wave and took thousands of lives. Now that we are widely vaccinated, the same delta variant doesn’t kill but only causes mild disease. That’s the same for Omicron. Go and get vaccinated if you are hesitant. Everyone must have 2 shots
Deepika is an outstanding actress so no one will take her place just becos shallow folk like u say so. She has the right to express herself in any manner she chooses. The term urban naxal seems to apply to people with differing views of your ilk. Amusing!
This is a significant milestone in primary and public health. Kudos to

for making Puri the first city in the country to deliver on this promise 👏👏👏
His first Olympic, qualified with first attempt n won the first gold in Javelin for India n the only Gold medal for India this Olympics - a billion plus proud thanks from every Indian 👏👏👏
We did surprise checks at mohalla clinics in east Delhi.. so so impressed with the hygiene and the friendly lady doctors we met.. so good to see amidst the despair of crumbling civic infra..
#ElectionsOnMyPlate
Did u know that we ‘hoist’ the tricolour on 15th August and ‘unfurl’ the flag on 26th January? The difference? Hoisting raises the folded flag from bottom to the top of the pole before releasing whereas unfurling releases the folded flag which is placed at the top of the pole
Unfortunately, vested interests are hijacking the issue to political parties. I am confident our CM
@BSBommai
will resolve the matter peacefully. I am a proud kannadiga n don’t want to see these incidents detract from economic progress. All parties need to work towards this.
