“We don’t want to burden you” the finance minister responds to journalists asking for numbers & details about the breakup of the 20 lakh crore rescue package the PM has announced. Wow.

I don’t approve of journalists becoming the story but I have to say this made me tear up. Thanks to colleagues, contemporaries, sources,panelists, everyone who has reached out. Twitter Reacts To Sarah Jacob Quitting NDTV
I was looking for house help and was given a number to call. Her son picked up. He spoke flawless English & negotiated the work conditions for his mother. I was struck by his manner. I asked where he works. He’s a student at Modern School, Barakhamba. The power of the EWS system.
G20 tourism meet under the barrel of a gun:Normal or Anomaly? My swan song, this wound up being my last show on NDTV. Coincidentally, the show ended on a note to introspect on. Can we have normalcy without free elections, a free press and civil liberties?
Indian Express doesn’t mention how the Killer spoke of the PM and UP CM. Did he? If so, is that not newsworthy? Learning this awful fact from Social Media. Doesn’t mention that victims were cherry-picked and shot. If you read this IE coverage you’ll come away with nothing.
All it took was a few minutes and a person’s livelihood destroyed (along with a functional fridge, cold drinks etc in this kiosk….one of many such demolished). At this point,

Usha Uthup doesn't pull punches. The moment she met CJI Chandrachud last evening she said, "What are you doing at an event? Why aren't you in court? When are you announcing your decision on the Kolkata case? The entire world is watching"

Indian students choosing to study abroad isn’t a new trend but now even students in rural areas are taking extreme steps like selling ancestral property to do so? Why?
As I am going on maternity break, (I am so thankful to be working at NDTV which has had an exemplary maternity leave policy long before the government realized its importance) I will continue to spend Sunday evenings with "We the People"but from the other side of the screen. 1/1

In 2009, PM Manmohan Singh was invited as Chief Guest by President Sarkozy at the Bastille Day celebrations. The Indo- France strategic partnership goes back even before 2009

Also learned today that this is not the first time that an Indian PM has been invited as guest of honour or that the Indian armed forces have participated in the Bastille day parade.

Look at the wood work (probably rose or teak), the high ceilings, those majestic doors. They don’t make them like this anymore. Wonder what will come up in its place. Dreading finding out.

What’s the logic here ? The public should be forced to pay out of their pocket to get from one place to another because there’s no affordable public transport? Isn’t that the hallmark of any developed country? Or is there an agenda here ? 🤔

Pretty damning letter from Alumni of Vasant Valley School that was founded by India Today Group itself. Time for serious introspection by the Group. So many of its publications were admired by a large number of readers and viewers.

LG who held an emergency meeting and announces a three month long tree-
plantation drive to control dust! Even as 4000 trees are being cut in South delhi. Shame. We are all being taken for a ride. Trees are going to magically sprout in 3 months?
Compare this to other protests we've seen, where public property is damaged and the main method of getting your demands met is to inconvenience the public as much as possible.
Shame on Media 🚨
Ashutosh and Anand Ranganathan clashed with each other.
What is more shameful is that Times Now is recording this fight and posting it itself so that TRP can be taken.
Have some Shame Navika Kumar ?

Two articles in the Indian Express. Both on page 6. One about a man who masturbates on a girl in the Metro and another about a 100 school girls accusing their principal of sexual abuse. Only one article names the accused (a Muslim name) 🤔
Not going to share the trauma of the Muslim child but nothing should stop us from shaming, naming and sharing image of this woman Tripta Tyagi. This is a hate crime and deserves to be called out, every single time.

Within just 2 days, the daughter of the Bengal rape and murder case was handed to the CBI. But what about Ankita Bhandari? After 2 years, justice is still pending for her. When will the CBI take her case? Spread this news to demand justice for Uttarakhand's daughter! ⚖️💔
You heard the trolls and their objections now hear the real India! The millions of Indians in inter-faith marriages, and their message is - it’s nobody’s business but theirs.
A single mom with 2 kids under 10 sells her phone to book a tic to go ‘home’.How will she fend for them? What does the govt’s package announced have for her, right now when she needs it the most? Is she expected to apply for it? Download the forms, fill it up on her smartphone?
CM and Women’s development minister are reacting only today. Either they didn’t care that such atrocities are taking place or they didn’t know. Which is worse?

I believe in unbiased and balanced journalism but I refuse to play the 'both-sides' narrative to prove it. When something is wrong,it is just wrong and needs to be called out.

Maternity leave =Holiday, according to the President! Who writes these speeches? If the aim is to get more women in the work space, this is not the way to go about it.
Who has given rights to “Gau-rakshaks” to kill anybody? If the Modi govt has given them the right to kill then they should explain why it is given.

Fact Checking is a part of my right to know, know the truth. In order to exercise my right to know, need to register with Govt. How dare they not let me have a seamless right to know, due to my Constitutional right under article 19. This is shocking and needs to be opposed.

Changes noticed in the BJP today.

2.) Victory poster behind had all languages - even Urdu.
