‘It is my belief- and never have I so hoped that I am mistaken – that we are all facing dark and difficult times.’

It’s been a good week to be a petitioner. The Supreme Court decreed privacy as a fundamental right and that triple talaq was unconstitutional.

This week was about one thing: skiving off work in the name of independence.

Rajya Sabha Elections. Sankalp se Siddhi. Niti Ayog. Robapocalypse. Foreign Policy. Stalking.

Pakistan’s judicial coup. Doklam. World affairs. Nitish Kumar. Corruption. Privacy. Monetary Policy. Inflation. Whistleblowers. Popcorn.

Cricket. President. Nitish Kumar. Oppostion. Sub-nationalism. Battle Tanks at Universities. The Border- Standoff. Pakistan. Privacy.

I don’t know why. It doesn’t even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind. I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time. All I know, time is a valuable thing. Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. Watch it count down to the end of the day. The clock ticks life away.

Amarnath Yatra. Kashmir. India-China Standoff. Basirhat. The Agricultural Crisis. Air India. G-20. Bohemian Rhapsody.

India-Israel Relations. Border clashes. GST. Police Grit. West Negal. Gorkhaland. Nationalities

This week was more or less about one thing: lynching.

Cricket Matches. Sore Losers. Presidential Elections. Indo-US Relations. Farmer Protests. The demand for Gorkhaland. Iftar. Yoga.

The agriculture crisis. GST. Dissent. Modi will finally pay Trump a visit. West Asia. Men in miniskirts giving me advice. Child Marriage.

Quarterly growth figures. Media muzzling. Eurotrip. Climate Change. Terror Attacks. Astana. Neighbourly spats. Gully Cricket.

Let’s get the worst headline of the week over with. It’s got nothing to do with politics, and it’s go nothing to do with economics. It does have something to do with a ceiling fan, though.

Triple Talaq. Death Sentence. Kulbushan Jadhav. One Belt, One Road. Power Cuts in Bangalore. Mosquitoes.
