A story about Danish Siddiqui.
In Feb 2020, I was rehearsing my TEDx talk in India when he, a fellow speaker, sat down next to me to ask about my work. I had no idea who he was. He said simply he was also a journalist. Only later did I realize the humility in that description.
Nifty futures turns 21 today. Nifty has been a big part of my life. I must have said Nifty more than any other word & looked at Nifty charts more than any other pic.😬I am guessing it must be the same for all of us in the markets as well.
So on behalf of everyone Happy🎂 Nifty!
My heart has been broken ever since my father died - i tested positive on the day I cremated him. But I am also angry, filled with rage at the absence of truth telling, compassion and competence from my government. My piece @washingtonpost https://t.co/3k8Xv4W6ib
On a day when the Solicitor General says there is no Oxygen Deficit & a day after the Health Minister claims the same, my ground report for @themojostory from this Oxygen Langar in U.P, where gasping Indians come for a few shots of air. These visuals are very disturbing.
"Narendra Modi needs to go. Amit Shah needs to go. Yogi Adityanath needs to go. The bunch of integrity-free incompetents Mr Modi has gathered around him as his ministers all need to go. It needs to happen immediately, for the country to be saved"

"I am your Prime Minister, but by no means your raja, not even your ruler. I am in fact your servant, and when you see me fail in my duty, it will be your duty to pick me by ear and remove me." ("Kaan pakdein aur kursi se utaar dein")

As a child of the sixties, I’ve seen every crisis, incl 3 full wars, food shortages, calamities. This is our biggest post-Partition crisis & never has India seen a Govt missing in action like this. No control rooms to call, nobody accountable to reach. It’s a governance rout.
While we all work together to figure out what we can do to help in the current situation, I think the only long-term fix is for as many of us to move away from large cities. This is the answer to many of India’s problems. And now is probably the right time to work towards it. 1/5
Speech..What speech?We heard a freshly groomed bearded man rhetorically wagging his finger n telling the nation all izz well.He said,If the going is good then I take the credit, if it isn’t then citizens take care of each other... I will come back for votes n more speeches
RESIGN you colossal failure! You & your govt. are answerable for the avoidable tragedy unfolding amongst us. Instead of devoting resources, u r writing a petty gaslighting rebuttal letter to a former PM. How abt addressing the people with ACTUAL measures being taken????! #shame
