Arthur Fils playing in Tokyo qualifying as the world No.9 is almost as funny as then world No.11 Andy Murray drawing Roger Federer in the first round of Dubai 2008
It's been heartening to see our investigation into the inner workings of the Election Commission travel so far this week. Thank you for reading, sharing, arguing with it.
Now the harder ask.
Work like this takes months, and it doesn't happen on its own. If you believe there should be someone reading the notes nobody else reads, asking the questions nobody answers, and reporting what they find, fairly and accurately, however uncomfortable, then this is the moment to say so.

Two absolutely bombshell stories from @RitikaChopra__ exposing the Election Commission of India for subverting our democracy.
It would be a huge travesty if Gyanesh Kumar continues to be in his position.
The man brings shame to the chair he sits on.
Exactly 32 years ago, the Shawshank Redemption was released in the US, and it was a theatrical flop, recovering just $16 million in its first run.
But like Andy Dufresne, the film came back. Word of mouth made sure it dominated the video rental market, its re-release made $73 million dollars and it is still gets huge audiences. Today, it is regarded as a classic, the highest rated film on IMDB and preserved in the Library of Congress as a film of cultural significance.

It may sound harsh, but in a way, Jamui reflects a large part of our society. Put a helpless, defenceless couple in a similar situation, and far too many perverts living among us would behave the same way.
Nirbhaya and the many similar crimes since then are not merely isolated incidents. They tell us something about the society that we have created.
And we all know this is not about this government or that government. It is about our society. It is about us.
Nirbhaya was not the first. Jamui will not be the last. That’s the unfortunate reality.

NDA 3.0 is now giving UPA 2.0 vibes ! The Decline is not just perceptible but also visible. The Government is totally disconnected from sentiment on ground. A rude shock at the state polls is the only way to shake them up. Electoral invincibility has created that arrogance of power.
