Noted Hindustani vocalist Pt. Rajan Mishra has died. He had #COVID . Couldn't get ventilator / oxygen support in time - a macabre narrative that echos through thousands of deaths in India right now. RIP!

Some of the songs from Pyaasa and Kagaz Ke Phool should be given the #Oscar , retrospectively! Also, Deepika Padukone was so cool, unfazed and totally unpretentious on stage! 👍 That's my hot-take on #Oscar2023

Earlier this week BJP spokesperson Narendra Taneja told the BBC, the govt was caught off guard, because the #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia came like a tsunami, without any warning The truth is, the govt was cautioned by multiple agencies & experts, but paid no heed #COVID19

Those calling for #BoycottChina are possibly tweeting from a phone that's either made or assembled in China or has components that have been manufactured there! 🙄

And just like that I've completed a year at the BBC, living the biggest story of our lives! Grateful I get to work alongside the best in the business & for an institution that remains the gold standard, especially bec around me, the profession faces a profound existential crisis

Absolutely important to clarify that these are not loans from the Chinese. #AIIB is Beijing headquartered, but not China owned. It is a multilateral organization & India is the second largest shareholder!

Why is an actor doing the job of a civil aviation minister? Why can't the govt arrange these flights at a cost basis?

Fitch while downgrading its outlook on India from stable to -ve said - The BJP's Hindu-nationalist agenda "risks becoming a distraction for economic reform implementation and could further raise social tensions" A fairly uncharacteristic comment that went largely unreported!

#KangnaRanaut tells Republic TV Bollywood's drug abuse & anti-Hindu agenda are inextricably linked. How? 🤔 She also says 99% of A-listers including a superstar with whom she had an affair & his wife are rampant drug users. Wasn't she vehemently against blind items!?
