My Kashmir Holiday

I am proud of our government for taking some decisive steps about Jammu and Kashmir and moving beyond the usual ‘discussions’ and ‘mediations’. Hopefully, the government is able to solve the hitherto ‘unsolvable’ problem.

My ‘Middle-Class’ Vote

General elections are round the corner. It’s that time of governance-cycle where suddenly the all-important (politician) becomes the common man and the common man becomes all-important. Basking in the glory of this transient attention that voters are getting, I thought of coming up with my own wish list of the top five things that I would want the next government to promise and hopefully deliver.

Even before his political career could take off, it seems Rahul Gandhi has lost. Lost because it seems he is not interested; not interested in taking responsibilities, not interested in working hard; in fact, not interested in politics altogether. Rahul Gandhi seems to have lost the plot.

Unless one had in-depth knowledge about the politics of Uttar Pradesh, chances are that one may not have heard of a politician called Yogi Adityanath. Even if one had, not many would have thought that he would ultimately become the Chief Minister of the state.
