"The person who talks most of his own virtue is often the least virtuous."
- Nehru

"It’s a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought as speaking the truth."

Why is Thai health care so good? - "In 1972 the government launched a programme that required medical graduates to spend the first three years of their careers in villages. This led to a “golden generation” of doctors, says Eduardo Banzon of the Asian Development Bank" —Is there an India equivalent like this?
Never forget: "In the face of calamity, Mr Modi froze. From April 25, after he called off the Kumbh and his West Bengal rallies, Mr Modi disappeared. He made no public appearance for 20 days. The Prime Minister of India fled the field when his people needed the government most. This is not history from 1526, this happened to us just three years ago and must not be forgotten".
