    Disenchantment does not fully explain the disruptive assembly poll results yesterday. There was also a strange enchantment. Unseen, unexpected, unacknowledged. My column: #ElectionResults2026 #TN2026 #BengalResults #TMCvsBJP #ActorVijay #LDFDefeat

    Excellent @BDUTT ! It's the much vilified 'liberals' who signed the petition for his release!! Not the likes of that "alleged filmmaker" and the obnoxious troll army!

    Deepest condolences to both of you @BDUTT @bahardutt ... the dignity with which you've grieved for your father and went on reporting the darkest story of our times, is widely appreciated (ignore the blige, not worth an attntion)
