As a notorious “cricket tragic”, enjoyed exchanging words with the cricketers, who were all friendly & modest young men. Most are on @instagram & not @twitter!

At Australian High Commissioner ⁦@barryofarrell⁩’s reception for the Australian cricket team this evening. Had a pleasant chat w/ skipper ⁦@patcummins30⁩ &presented him a Tibetan scarf from Dharamsala & a silver salver from Parliament. Looking forward to a good Test! https://t.co/4f0E9w1vzK — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased to meet a delegation of teachers from the All India PrimaryTeachers Association & to receive a representation highlighting their concerns. Protecting the rights &welfare of our school teachers is vital to ensure that India is powered by a vibrant primary education system. https://t.co/oCaGjhLsGa — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to receive a copy of psychologist @Sneha_isra ‘s ‘What Shape Are You?’ which makes the intriguing case that human behaviour can be decoded through the prism of 5 basic shapes. She tells me I’m a 🔼! Read more: https://t.co/p9G6ve5r5H https://t.co/0JB6GPqwMS — PolitiTweet.org

A pleasure to meet Dr @wanmeher & Dr Bharti (& baby Anhad!) who have co-authored a biography of legendary mathematician S Ramanujan.Capturing the contributions of such giants in Hindi is indispensable for future generations to understand the magnitude of their contributions. https://t.co/exPL7ZdaXg — PolitiTweet.org

A man of remarkable simplicity & rock-solid integrity, with innovative smarts & vision, he has made a company based in small-town India a world-class firm that exports dental prosthetics to developed countries. So pleased his parents (in pic w/me) are alive to witness his success https://t.co/Y6IVVbXbBu — PolitiTweet.org

The most remarkable life story I’ve heard led to the best-attended book release I’ve ever seen. Born &raised in abject poverty, father confined to mental asylum, mother attempted suicide, but John Kuriakose’s hard work &vision led to this school dropout helming @DentcareIndia! https://t.co/lgjGYvnoN5 — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Excellent, @kharge ji. I enjoyed my interactions with the US Judges as well. The rule of law in both democracies requires a truly independent judiciary to uphold an equitable justice system. That’s where we face different challenges. Their visit should help expand their horizons. https://t.co/OqNFjs2P9x — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Most intriguing. The nation needs to know more. At a time when history is being reinvented to serve today’s political ends, let’s not add censorship to the mix. If the papers undermine current narratives on Nehru’s role on Article 370 in J&K, so be it. The truth matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry that should have been @cheteshwar1! — PolitiTweet.org

Honoured to call on Bishop Mar George Punnakottil in Kothamangalam. He presented me with one of his own books and two by the scholar & former JNU professor Fr Pius, an authority on maritime Malabar. Shared a pleasant Sunday lunch w/the resident priests &the young son of a staffer https://t.co/7OIwemJ5NY — PolitiTweet.org

Moving piece by @cheteswar1’s father on his son’s 100th Test. Fourteen years ago, without having seen him bat, but on the basis of his amazingly consistent scoring in domestic cricket, I said he’d be the next Rahul Dravid. Instead, he’s our only Cheteswar Pujara. One of a kind! — PolitiTweet.org

My qsn in LS on the uneven pace of implementation of #SmartCities repeated an error in a @theHinduBiz article but elicited an equally inaccurate reply: AtalNagar was included in June 2017 (Round 3) just 9 months after Varanasi was in Sept 2016 (Round 2, not 1). So why d big diff? https://t.co/hwVhA353Ik — PolitiTweet.org

No institution is above the law, but the raids by 20 tax officials on the @BBC's Delhi & Mumbai offices &studios are a deplorable own-goal. They will be seen worldwide as petty retaliation for the BBC documentary & as confirmation of the BJP Govt's drive to stifle press freedom — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Excellent interaction w/the students of the Civil Service Academy in Muvattupuzha, who asked searching questions. Also shared my own views on the spirit with which I hope they will approach government service, as a cause & not just a job. Urged a focus on outcome over process https://t.co/WsydrHsdYg — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Enjoyed a pleasant Sunday morning visit to the progressive Jamia Badriya Arabic College in Pazhakkapally, where students are accommodated completely free of cost & taught both Islamic studies & contemporary subjects to equip them for whatever profession they wish to undertake. https://t.co/WWLaw0xjht — PolitiTweet.org

Called on KeralaCongress-J chief PJ Joseph, whom I had spoken to in the phone to condole the demise of his wife. Was accompanied by colleagues @Kuzhalnadan MLA of @INCKerala & ex-MP @kfrancisgeorge of KeralaCong-J. Discussed contemporary state politics as well. https://t.co/vpbG2EQMMB — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Always a joy to interact with the people of Kerala, whether they are readers, anganwadi workers, public representatives or the former Mayor of Kochi (Saumini Jain, in black)! https://t.co/yMwpUxYDGN — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

After hearing from the anganwadi workers, addressed them on their issues & pledged that both MLA @Kuzhalnadan & I would take up their concerns in our respective legislatures. Launched Sparsham, the MLA’s NGO that will provide charity support to constituents beyond official funds. https://t.co/HFt2tmdmOv — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Enjoyed an excellent interaction with Anganwadi workers in Muvattupuzha at an event organised by Mathew @Kuzhalnadan MLA. Instead of just addressing them, listened to them expressing their views & comments on their work & challenges. They deserve much better from our Govt. https://t.co/lmX8ZSw2YI — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

It was particularly moving to meet Uma Thomas MLA, who had bravely picked up the mantle of her late husband after his unexpected & premature demise, & now holds his seat in the Kerala Assembly. Her dignified presence & commitment is a huge asset to to @INCKerala. https://t.co/EsqzgigjZJ — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

At the memorial meet for PT Thomas, released an impressive collection of essays by his admirers, who included politicians & poets, professors & professionals in various fields. Handed over the first copy to former Ambassador @venurajamony in the presence of PT’s widow Uma. https://t.co/AvXghbq9OE — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Weekend: Inaugurated &addressed a memorial meeting for the late PT Thomas MLA in Thrikkakara, under the auspices of a civil society group, Friends of PT& Nature, that supported him for his environmentalism & backed his political aspirations.

Tragic and shocking news. I had met Yamuna a few times in Kerala but had no idea she was ill. She was an idealist and a humanitarian, constantly helping people. And an author, one of whose books i released some years ago. Om Shanti. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy to release "The Knot List" https://t.co/1rcKnBA0f1 by Dr Hameed Fazal from MES Medical College, Kozhikode, which offers a list of things to do before you tie the knot.

My plea in the Lok Sabha today urging the Government to reintroduce comprehensive legislation to outlaw violence against healthcare professionals. No one knows why they withdrew their 2019 Bill, but it’s needed more than ever. IMA says 75% of doctors have suffered assault! https://t.co/HysZMZ6RS0 — PolitiTweet.org
