#IPL

If you ignore the noise, the IPL is still solid entertainment. It still fills the latent demand for a sportainment property in a cricket-crazy nation that was discovered by Lalit Modi and co. ages ago. Personally, I am among those who prefers to watch it on TV. Irrespective of where one follows it, it is exciting sporting action with a lot of bells and whistles. Some of the whistles are witnessed purely on social media; a lot of the fan frenzy that resonates is authentic. And those are the things that are priceless.

#KarnatakaElections

Malleswaran protestors charged with unlawful assembly and more. They walked silently  and hugged trees. They made a peaceful statement for the conservation of trees. Dangerous. What’s the motivation for this muffling for dissent? Meantime, a ‘Naatu Naatu’ inspired ‘Modi Modi’ is setting the tone for the upcoming state elections. Predictions are out. So are ‘Exit Polls’.

#ElonMusk

Love him or hate him, you cannot ignore him. Applies more to Elon Musk than Kangana Ranaut today. This week, he made news for comments on everything from AI to India’s social media laws to gender.

#KaranThapar

It’s election season. Not taking anything away from Thapar for this great story. But we can expect more scandals, exposes, claims and counterclaims, communal tension, et al. All the way up to 2024. Sad, but true. There was a time when one looked forward to elections and the coverage around it. Now one dreads some parts of it, or simply cringes.

In an extraordinarily revealing interview with Karan Thapar, Satyapal Malik says that the CRPF had asked for aircrafts ahead of the Pulwama tragedy, and the request was denied by the Union govt.

Full interview here: https://t.co/47ENX7WzM2 pic.twitter.com/7vISmPFGtz

— The Wire (@thewire_in) April 14, 2023

If Satyapal Malik were really silenced on the lapses leading to Pulwama attack, was he waiting that one day Karan Thapar will interview him and to make it explosive, he will spill this secret? There is no plausible reason to hold back this information. It's clearly concocted.

#MahsaAmini 

The world is watching, even as one more round of poisoning of school girls has been reported by some sections. It’s hard to fact check everything that is coming from Iran but the #IranRevolution is far from over. So is the persecution of protestors.

Deeply disturbing video of young school girls in #Iran visibly sick amid another poisoning yesterday. The silence from the international community is deafening. #MahsaAmini pic.twitter.com/UhmeRHH0kf

Great news! Thank you @RepDonBacon for supporting the Iranian people by co-sponsoring the #MAHSAAct
We need to put maximum pressure on the terrorist Islamic Regime and stop them from committing more crimes. #MahsaAmini #IRGCterrorists https://t.co/ezbc5zNBVT
