Rohit Sardana was a brilliant young professional. And a star of our newsroom. He had conquered the hearts of both TV and digital viewers. He had so much more to do. I am anguished beyond words. All strength to the family for handling this untimely loss.

Revenge is a dish best served cold. At the moment emotions are justifiably high but govt should not be pressured to act in haste. They should punish Pak with a well coordinated sustained plan for the dastardly act & protecting terrorists. Pak must realise the cost of this policy.
How did the country fail its migrant workers, the lifeblood of its economy? Why didn’t the government think of them when it first announced the lockdown? Searing images of hundreds of thousands trekking back to their villages is the worst misery I've seen in 45 yrs of journalism
I am grateful to live in a country of such tremendous diversity and resilience. Our country is filled with people of great talent creativity and enterprise. Makes me proud.

From the controversial but a bold move to demonetise India’s currency; the implementation of the GST; the passing of the bankruptcy law and the firm message to defaulting businessmen that they can’t duck their debts, Mr. Modi set himself to be the architect of a New India.
I strongly disagree with Arnab’s style of journalism and no one is above the law but I condemn misuse of state power to intimidate journalists. The manner of his arrest is totally unacceptable in a democracy.
If Rahul Gandhi wants to be the king of the political jungle he has to transform from being a pit-bull to a lion. Has to present alternative vision of India, needs to say more than just that Modi didn’t live up to his promise.

PM is a very farsighted person. Somebody who works with him told me that while his team is still collecting the dots, the Prime Minister has already CONNECTED the dots. And that they figure it all out much later, when the whole picture emerges.

India knew in the first wave itself that it had to ramp up oxygen capacity. Yet we were caught napping when the second wave hit. By January 2021, we had dismantled most additional infrastructure and declared premature victory. Now India is gasping for breath
Pain or gain? Demonetisation was the proverbial killing of three birds with one stone—eliminating black money, detecting fake currency and blocking terror funding. Unfortunately, the birds are still flying.

I think PM Modi has grasped the idea of delivering a life of dignity for the people at the bottom of the pyramid from the moment he took office 10 yrs ago.
That is why his emphasis on schemes like Swachh Bharat &delivering tap water & electricity to all.
