- Only in England. The man seated next to me at Headingley recorded every ball in his scorebook..... Every single ball. All day. #Ashes
- In Memoriam. My mother's beautiful house in Coorg, recently sold.
- You can't call the place "केरल" and expect to win.
- Today at a restaurant in Goa, a customer at the restaurant where i was having lunch with my brother @svaradarajan & the rest of our family sent him this note along with a plate of dessert. A small gesture that gives me heart that Modi & co haven't wrecked India completely
- Rahul Gandhi was born into great privilege, political and financial. Yet he's worked hard to make himself accessible, mixing freely & easily (& not noticeably fakely) with ordinary Indians. Modi, by contrast, born into poverty, is India's most aloof PM ever, always on a pedestal.
- The moment before: The Russian Ambassador to Turkey looks at a painting at a gallery in Ankara earlier today. Behind him, his assassin...
- The @DelhiPolice Crime Branch just searched the house of my brother @svaradarajan & seized his phone & laptop. Why seize these when his publication has acknowledged/retracted a mistake? This seizure is repugnant in a democracy. Indians should raise their voices in fierce protest.
- I look at Manmohan singh. And then I look at Modi. And I feel a sharp pang of pain in my heart. For India. #Manmohansingh #HappyBirthdayDrMMS

- He was shot dead on this day in 1948. Many people who admire his killer are in power in Delhi today.
- My sister in New Delhi says to me: "Delhi is so smoky and choked that if you don't gulp your Glenlivet fast enough it will turn into Laphroaig."
