UK “Independent” a bad loser? After Indian win it wrote: match “designed to benefit those watching TV in Asia rather than local or international audiences”!! GROW UP. #INDvsENG2024 #CricketTwitter #CricketFever #Cricket

3rd Ind-SA Womens T20 Deepti has a 2f'er -- 2 successsive wickets, deadly bowling. So I can use this NewPhrase. Hope others will pickup too. Small innovation! #cricketupdates #Indiacricket #Crickkeeda #cricketLovers #Cricketfans

[Amb. Kishan S Rana @diplophile]

Splendid that WorldCup24 has a hattrick...But what do we call 2 wickets OnTrot? Why not: 'a 2fer'?? After all, it does need succinct term. Viable idea? #cricketlovers #CricketFever #cricketnews

#NVaghul was a giant of #IndianFinance, taking #ICICIBank from #sarkari fetters to real commercial status, using stealth and personal charm. Direct, lacking ego, did not suffer fools. Great role model, builder of India. @ICICIBank @indianbankers @MEAIndia

Powerful, gripping history novel 'Last Queen' @cdivakaruni a 'Must Read' -- vital corrective to false history Sadly that lingering colonial narrative that still rules historians #India #MEAIndia #History

[Amb. Kishan S Rana @diplophile]

Strange: factual study of Churchill's misdeeds against India in 1940-45 wont convince his diehard Indian defenders https://t.co/E6YANw6v6M Probably best to ignore them, tell true story of colonial misrule

[Amb. Kishan S Rana @diplophile]

Dhaka Daily Star 5 June had my article on Churchill & India https://t.co/A5Reuziab5 Narrates story of misgovernance and gross neglect causing Great Famine of 42-44. Essential history.
