When the movement happened then, I had joined Mastodon. Nov 2019.

It is another November, just 3 years later.

Another round of exodus, or rather signaling, is underway.

OKAY! So it's been a couple of days since I joined Mastodon, which means it's time for a history thread. Going by tootles' responses, I'm going to be starting with these fascinating artefacts: the hero stones of the medieval Deccan.
Two of my family members have studied in JNU. It is a place we looked up to. Sad could never make it there, other than eating aloo paratha at Ganga dhaba or whiling away time at PSR. #jnu
Still getting used to the feel of mastodon. Looks cluttered to me as of now. #confession
At the current moment, I feel compelled to write why JNU stands, why I love the space despite having criticized it on multiple account. I have now been part of JNU for 7 years, starting from my masters. I grew up in the way I looked at the world, it really helped me breathe the air of freedom. After my master's, I received the news that I had Cancer, as scary as it was I didn't want life to stop. I sat for the MPhil exam in the middle of my chemotherapy, and cleared.

Tomrw Judgment on CJI office should come under RTI. My Prediction:

CJI office will not come under RTI. For length, copy few paras from NJAC judgment, few paras frm master of roster case & then somehow make it all about independence of judiciary being heart and liver of democracy

In The Intersection, my fortnightly column in Mint, I argue India needs foreign talent to indigenize defence equipment. (Also how the Nehru govt hired a German engineer to produce a supersonic fighter aircraft in the 1950’s)

Opinion | India needs foreign talent to indigenize defence equipment

Acquiring foreign human capital can accelerate product development cycles and help us gain cutting-edge technologies

All new mediums take time to adjust. Same with life :D
@thecoducer How would it help in having cleaner, troll free timeline?
When facts change do you change your view?
Question to #demonetization supporters.
