“It’s a sorrow, but not a crushing sorrow. Rather like going bald.”, Larkin once told Andrew Motion on being asked if he had any new poems coming out. With a year and a half of practicing and a rapidly receding hairline, I now know exactly what he was talking about.

Can someone direct me to a nuanced take on this entire Iran fiasco?

Reminds me of this quote from Hitch 22.

Indian RW and their obsession with Israel is really something.

Haha, you seriously think that India won't have had nuclear plant if he wasn't the prime minister? Grow up.

Replacing those blades periodically will be a pain for everyone involved.

The first 100 pages of the discharge order provide a detailed exposition on the manner in which approver statements and self-incriminating statements of witnesses ought to be treated in law.

Haha, indeed, exceptional clarity of thought in writing. Very bold in the writing too. All lawyers, including me, should aspire to write and think clearly as he does.

For years, I have within me an essay on how Faridabad slowly turned into the way it is. It was never clean even when I was a kid. But it was still green, quiet & calm. Now it is dirty, dusty & full of filth. MCF has made money off rampant construction but we know where it went.

Got these out of print books! Very happy.

It is for Zebras to jump over.

British Miss That's not actual size. The real ships are way bigger.

UPA revisionism is laughable. You went out of power for 15 years & yet paint as some golden era of politics. Indian voters are smart enough to notice its staleness. By 2005, the opinion had shifted in USA itself. It was Vajpayee who resisted sending indian troops fighting Advani.

India too has strategic reserves of 100 million barrels. Of course, China has larger reserves, as its energy demands are higher and its economy is larger than India’s. But India has been careful to ensure that it has some energy back-up.

Not overconsumption but over stimulation. The constant stimulation means that when you are deprived off it, you start feeling anxious and depressed. Social media, meant to makes us feel more connected and happy, is a major cause for the anxiety, depression & loneliness epidemic.

Haha, is it though?

Are you kidding me?

Any credible reports on what happened to Iran's nuclear programme ever since Trump pulled out from the Obama deal? Want to read a good analysis.
