Independent Journalist @France24. Former NDTV. #mommywhojuggles. I'd love to be able to grow my own avocados. I don't engage with trolls/abusers.
- As a working woman "Didi o Didi" was really distasteful. and that too from India's prime minister. How far will you go to win an election?
- “We don’t want to burden you” the finance minister responds to journalists asking for numbers & details about the breakup of the 20 lakh crore rescue package the PM has announced. Wow. #onlyinindia?
- Only @HindustanTimes seems to have called it out for what it was - A Hate Crime. And good reporting from Megha Sood.
- I don’t approve of journalists becoming the story but I have to say this made me tear up. Thanks to colleagues, contemporaries, sources,panelists, everyone who has reached out. Twitter Reacts To Sarah Jacob Quitting NDTV scoopwhoop.com/in-other-news/…
- I was looking for house help and was given a number to call. Her son picked up. He spoke flawless English & negotiated the work conditions for his mother. I was struck by his manner. I asked where he works. He’s a student at Modern School, Barakhamba. The power of the EWS system.
- No leader or party can be greater than the country. Governments will come and go. Jai Hind.
- G20 tourism meet under the barrel of a gun:Normal or Anomaly? My swan song, this wound up being my last show on NDTV. Coincidentally, the show ended on a note to introspect on. Can we have normalcy without free elections, a free press and civil liberties?
- Indian Express doesn’t mention how the Killer spoke of the PM and UP CM. Did he? If so, is that not newsworthy? Learning this awful fact from Social Media. Doesn’t mention that victims were cherry-picked and shot. If you read this IE coverage you’ll come away with nothing.
- Taking away the livehood and even the plastic sheet on top of a poor persons headAll it took was a few minutes and a person’s livelihood destroyed (along with a functional fridge, cold drinks etc in this kiosk….one of many such demolished). At this point, #Nuh has seen close to 300 structures razed.
00:00 - Indian journalism needs Usha UthupUsha Uthup doesn't pull punches. The moment she met CJI Chandrachud last evening she said, "What are you doing at an event? Why aren't you in court? When are you announcing your decision on the Kolkata case? The entire world is watching" CJI was a real sport
- And of course the Telegraph. But I get that a day late in Delhi 😀
