Even as we hear of easing of lockdowns in our cities and assorted 'opening' up, I hear stories of desperation and suffering too. 2 recent instances from my wife's extended family (that is active on their WhatsApp Group). First, a family of 6 (4 + 2 more relatives who are 1/7

I don’t know what to say when I see young volunteers who have not slept in days being apologetic for taking a day off and our elected government representatives are just doing PR, passing the buck and shouting at people for making them look bad.

Many people like me perhaps thought that it couldn't happen to them! But, it did happen! My mother and husband, both, died without any treatment. We failed to have access to all top notch Delhi hospitals we used to visit! Yes, after death they declared COVID positive. – at New Delhi, India

"...to turn India into an autocratic Hindu rashtra, bolstering and, in turn, bolstered by few big business houses. For the imperatives of international optics and internal misdirection, this was to be executed while maintaining the fake image of a functioning democracy."

"If Mr Modi & Mr Shah have had efficiency, stamina and detailed focus towards anything, it is in the deliberate & relentless hollowing out of democracy itself. It is now beyond doubt that the messiah... came to power in 2014 with one aim & one aim only...

In times of oxygen shortage spare a thought for Dr. @drkafeelkhan who first pointed to dire oxygen shortage in hospitals. Instead of acting on his warnings,he was jailed. Now whole country paying a price. Lack of transparency & democracy endangers citizens' lives. #OxygenCrisis
Dead are not just numbers. This is heartbreaking :(

India and China both have a billion-plus people. The dramatically different stories of the pandemic in the two countries says a lot about the differing quality of their governance - India's being far less efficient or effective.

Dr Manmohan Singh once said history would be kinder to him than the media. Well forget history, 24 hours is enough. He makes vaccine policy recos on Sunday, gets attacked by health min on Monday afternoon, only to have his recos accepted the same evening! Good night, shubhratri!
