The Virus & I

The day had started off quite badly. A friend of mine had tested positive for Covid and was having trouble breathing. The situation all around the City too was bad — no beds — at least not in the desirable hospitals; shortage of oxygen cylinders; shortage of life saving meds…

Goa, Munnis Naa!

A lot of large international companies operating out of China want to leave. Perhaps, under political pressure from their home countries to punish China — in part — for initiating a global trade war against them, as also its part in allegedly perpetuating the current pandemic. Many developing nations see…

Covid Tales — Migrant Labor No More.

India lost two priceless assets in the last two days. Two of my favorite stars — Irfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor — both of whom lost a long-fought battle with cancer. Why is this relevant here? I think we have many other reasons for sickness and death other than Covid_19. …

Death of An Airline

“Good Friday? There’s nothing good about this Friday!” Perhaps that’s what you would hear from any one of the 22,000 employees of the airline that officially died a day earlier (18th April 2019) leaving them jobless. My first meeting with Mr. Naresh Goyal was way back in 1987. He was…

Politics of Pulwama
