On Dr Manmohan Singh’s birth anniversary, I remember a man whose quiet presence changed India in ways far louder than his manner ever was. Few combined scholarship with statecraft so naturally, or carried such responsibility with so little vanity. I was privileged to witness his understated wit at close quarters. With time, the scale of his contribution only becomes clearer. Remembering him with affection and gratitude.
History will debate governments and policies, as it should. But Dr Singh’s seriousness of purpose, intellectual rigour and essential decency deserve remembrance beyond the arguments of the day.
Remembering him with affection and gratitude on his birth anniversary.
Not a single Indian media cover my news of attending the UN General Assembly #UNGA at UN HQs, New York because I question our leaders and the big Industrialists. More or less, I'm an Indian, not Chinese & I'm representing my country 🇮🇳 as one of the youngest participants here! 😢
As a colleague told me: ‘It looks like it’s hunting season on you with miscreants on the internet.’ Another completely fabricated quote falsely attributed to me. I’ll be taking legal action. Meanwhile, I’m going to post the 2 memes to the right, below, whenever I spot more fakes!
Millions of folks across the country have diabetes, sometimes paying around $1,000 a month for insulin. It’s outrageous.
With my Build Back Better Act, we’re going to ensure no one will pay more than $35 a month for their insulin.

India’s GDP growth rate in 2016 was 8.3% and in 2019 (pre COVID-19) it was 4%. All hail Narendra #Modi for his master stroke (disaster) called Demonitization! Thank you Mr. Prime Minister for driving our economy into the ground. Happy 5th anniversary of #notebandi to you!
Feeling really proud and thankful of CJI Ramana for by asking our Govt. questions about the insane and shameful Sedition Law. Time to do away with this law used time and again by all govt’s to subjugate the people of India to its will. This law is an antithesis to democracy!

Why is Delhi struggling like this with COVID-19? Is too many masters the reason? Who is in charge, the center (LG) or Delhi government? Time for center to concentrate on national level priorities and give full statehood to Delhi. @narendramodi@AmitShah#DelhiFightsCorona
@BSYBJP Fantastic! Thanks. Please instruct BBMP to setup ward level war room like it was done in Mumbai by BMC. Central control room for a city the size of Bangalore will not work. Please don't make ministers or MLA's in charge, kindly put civil services in charge.
