I spent a day inside one of Mumbai's Covid War Rooms. Bed allocation for patients is done through the city's 24 war rooms. I learnt-strict triaging (assigning degree of urgency/severity of condition) is only way to ensure those that need beds get them

In a Covid-19 war room in Mumbai, the pandemic feels interminable – but key lessons have been learnt

The municipal staff say strict triaging of patients is essential to ensure the best use of limited resources.

PM Modi has spoken only 22 times in Parliament. Vajpayee spoke 77 times in six years when he was PM Manmohan Singh (who was called Maun Mohan Singh by Modi in 2012) spoke 48 times as PM. Even Deve Gowda averaged better in his two years in office.

Under Modi government, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have ceased to be key places for debate

For the moment, Parliament is not heeded to, though it has not been replaced by experts at the expense of democracy. The decline of Parliament is for everyone to see. But does anyone care?

Every time my child has a question about my growing-up days, she begins with, "In the olden days, did you..." I try not to get mad.

One of the ‘innovative’ ways in which the hospital overcharged, was to conducted multiple tests, several times on the patient between 1 am and 3 am to hike costs. BMC audit findings of Nanavati patient’s bills 👇🏾

Did the state plant evidence on electronic devices of the accused (as has been shown to be the case by a digital forensics company) is the question before the judges Unable to understand the recusal. Making the reason for recusal public would certainly be in public interest

The kid’s class had a spelling test. Asked to spell ‘beautiful’, one kid kept sending 😍🥰 emojis. Exasperated teacher: “ Just what are you doing?!!!”. Figures the poor kid was on an iPad and every time he typed the word and hit enter, it sent the emoji. 🙈

I wouldn’t normally bother to read a 10 minute-read on the IPL. But kya writing hai boss! Superlative. This is easily the best piece on Tewatia- by Siddarth Monga. Rahul Tewatia and the romance of the struggle.
