The kindest, loveliest man I have every known, my father Speedy, lost the COVID battle and died this morning. When I took him to hospital, against his will, I promised I would bring him home in two days. I couldn’t keep my word. I failed. He never broke a promise he made to us

I think @narendramodi hug of a heart broken @isro chairman was a group hug of a billion plus people. A very fine gesture. And just what was needed. To criticise and politicise even this as some are doing is to deny any transcendental moments for the country to unite as one #ISRO

The right wing media did not spend a fraction of outrage on a woman accused of a terror blast who sits in Parliament as they have on the Facebook posts of two 22 years olds. I'm just struck by how important it is to them to make the students protesting against #CAA look bad.

Let this sink in. #Unnao Rape survivor's father was beaten to death. Now she is critically injured in a truck hit. Two of her relatives are dead. Her lawyer is critical. The rape accused, BJP lawmaker #Sengar was visited by Unnao MP Sakshi Maharaj in jail. Let this sink in.

A government that calls out an army of hatemongers of twitter to mock the grief of those whose loved ones have died instead of calling out the real army to build field hospitals. This is the shit we're put through in a week we lost our dad. Let me repeat: you will not silence us

Says Mr Pai from the comfort of his wealth and fancy IPADs as the poor of India die without beds and oxygens at hospitals and uncounted at cremation grounds. I normally never respond to your tripe, but it’s time to tell you to go to hell

Dinner on the highway between Kota in Rajasthan & Indore in Madhya Pradesh. Dhabas without food. Nights without moonshine. One man kindly agreed to make us roti & dal. We are grateful for the kindness of strangers as we hit our 39th day of reporting the Pandemic for @themojo_in
