Yesterday (17th July 2026 - Friday - 6:30 PM) I attended the "baat | In Conversation with PTR : Growth, Governance & India at LSE" (London School of Economics and Political Science) - @LSEnews.
It was an immense pleasure, honour and privilege to meet #PTR @pt@ptrmadurai - Dr. Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (Former #DMK MLA Madurai Central between 2016 to 2026 & DMK - @arivalayam Tamil Nadu Ministers - Finance & HR between 2021 to 2023 and IT & Digital Service between 2023 to 2026).
The event was hosted and organised by Prof. Mukulika Banerjee - @MukulikaB, Department of Anthropology and Inaugural Director of the South Asia Centre at LSE and Sanam Arora - @arora_sanam, Founder & Chair of NISAU UK (@NISAU_UK - National Indian Students and Alumni Union UK).
The event revolved around public finance and governance to technology, institution-building, and India's economic future.
It was a fun, jovial, intellectual and insightful and engaging event with students, academics, alumni, and members of the wider community. Few attendees of the event also had the opportunity to ask questions directed at PTR.
I also had the opportunity to meet Mr. Salem Dharanidharan - @dharanisalem (State Deputy Secretary of DMK IT Wing @DMKITwing & DMK Spokesperson) at the event.
I would never forget the opportunity (in my life) for having the chance to meet Salem Dharanidharan and especially PTR. I could listen to PTR speech all the day long, such articulation and profoundness with wit and intellectual streak along with philosophical knowledge and wisdom and introspective calibre adds a great tone in one's expertise. That one is none other than PTR - Pride of Madurai !!!

Four years ago I read the word "incurable" - on a screen, after the diagnosis - Stage 4 ALK Positive Lung Cancer - had sunk in. On Monday, @unibirmingham gave me its highest honour: an Honorary Doctor of Science (DSc)
Well done @TetsoCollege on this outstanding achievement. I fondly remember my December 2023 visit & what a fantastic interaction I enjoyed with your faculty and students.
North East India has such rich talent, know Education Minister @AlongImna will be so happy too.
