Today’s readings Rahul Gandhi, Pesticide Poisoning, Bitcoin, Middle East, Migraines, Homai Vyarawalla
Suhas Palshikar has an opion piece on Lampooning Rahul, and how the Rahul Gandhi bashing industry is in full swing. IMO, there is nothing called bad publicity. And, if the Congress is saying Rahul, and the BJP is saying Rahul – then it is double dose of Rahul. Most people don’t care about the details of what is being said. they just hear the key words.
The Hindu has a long piece on pesticide poisoning in Maharashtra, and the deaths that it is causing.
Seeing the recent bitcoin surge, wish you had some of them? NYT hasa a piece on what has caused the surge
Fabulous piece in the politico about the power vacuum in the middle east, caused by Obama and Trump.
Also, why stars should stay off social media. Actually politicians too. Don’t want to see them warts and all.
