Joined @IamSanjuSamson at the Trivandrum Tennis Club to inaugurate the Sharat Kunar Nambiar Masters’ Tennis tournament. Sharat, my former intern, was killed in a car crash& his parents sponsor this event, starting on what would have been his 25th birthday. Spoke warmly of him. https://t.co/yvuckhkIpK — PolitiTweet.org

The wonderful poet @MadhuRaghavendra, whom I’ve tweeted about before, caught up with me at @mbifl2023. He presented me his latest book, which contains this striking poem: https://t.co/eebX7e3U97 — PolitiTweet.org

The audience at @mbifl2023 ranged from very senior veteran readers to tiny tots indulging in their first taste of literature. Here with some little attendees — may they grow up to keep loving books! https://t.co/TgVxaQSWkn — PolitiTweet.org
Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor
A lively & stimulating exchange with @meenakandasamy on Ambedkar, Hinduism, Sabarimala, women’s rights, the annihilation of caste, & whether I felt affinities with Dr Ambedkar as a fellow misfit in politics! The audience piled in w/even more assertive & provocative questions. Fun https://t.co/sHNzHThspT — PolitiTweet.org

Flanked by two illustrious and popular film directors at @mbifl2023, @priyadarshan & @sathyananthikad. Also met Goan poet RochellePotekar, who said she shares a birthday with me (though she did not specify what other consequences flowed from that coincidence!) https://t.co/UBk6hEXG6F — PolitiTweet.org

Also encountered at @mbifl2023: the wonderful @iKabirBedi & his even more wonderful wife @parveendusanj . It’s great to see Thiruvananthapuram rightfully regaining its place as a cultural capital too! https://t.co/eM9C6keWYN — PolitiTweet.org

As my session ended I ran into @PrakashJavdekar awaiting his turn to take the stage. He is now Kerala in-charge for the BJP; we’ve had a civilised friendship for fourteen years, since the days we debated each other on TV for our parties, but it won’t stop us contesting fiercely. https://t.co/2ZJxc9Q9W3 — PolitiTweet.org
Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor
An excellent conversation with @Openthemag Editor @prsannara on my book “Pride, Prejudice & Punditry” (an anthology from forty years of my published books) veered inevitably into a discussion of political ideas & issues. Good to spar with a well-read interlocutor! https://t.co/hiUovrNgHZ — PolitiTweet.org
Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor
At @sctimst_tvm met Director Dr Sanjay Behera and HoD Dr Krishnakumar. Discussed the hospital’s expansion to a new wing (under construction) & need for new staff. Met with the family of @INCKerala colleague Kottukal Vinod, who is in the ICU after a stroke, & visited him there. https://t.co/YiN6WPtICl — PolitiTweet.org

Inaugurated the 45th annual conference of the @sctimst_tvm non-Academic Employees’ Association. Thanked them for their service to this vital medical institution and promised to study their issues with close attention. https://t.co/hgeiLaMw2H — PolitiTweet.org

I was raised in an India where you are expected to speak kindly of people when they die. Musharraf was an implacable enemy &was responsible for Kargil but he did work for peace w/India, in his own interest, 2002-7. He was no friend but he saw strategic benefit in peace,as did we. — PolitiTweet.org

@harriharri_1 @mbifl2023 @AlephBookCo Sadly despite numerous complaints, @amazonIN continues to allow pirates to profit from their platform. One clue: “Era of Darkness” & “Why I Am A Hindu” do not exist in paperback in India. If Amazon sends you a paperback, send it back: it’s a fake. @AlephBookCo — PolitiTweet.org

“Pervez Musharraf, Former Pakistani President, Dies of Rare Disease”: once an implacable foe of India, he became a real force for peace 2002-2007. I met him annually in those days at the @un &found him smart, engaging & clear in his strategic thinking. RIP https://t.co/1Pvqp8cvjE — PolitiTweet.org

An amazing visit to the lively& colourful #Olam2023 which attracted 20,000 young people to an exhilarating festival of music,dance, games, activities, handicrafts,clothing &more! @olamfestival has grown remarkably since it began in 2018: a must-attend event in the capital https://t.co/lAvQuxv0Yh — PolitiTweet.org

Long line at @mbifl2023 to get my books signed. Sorry to disappoint the young people who were tricked into buying pirated editions; I won’t sign them because it’s theft, but also because I can’t be sure they actually contain what I wrote. @AlephBookCo https://t.co/dggLUahnKc — PolitiTweet.org
Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor
Signed a hundred+books for readers at @mbifl2023. Great to see kids who weren’t born when some of my books were published clutching copies of them for signature! Keeping the reading habit alive in the next generation is essential; too many associate books only w/school https://t.co/XwVGSbYeLO — PolitiTweet.org

An excellent discussion on “Reimagining India’s Federalism” with @ptrmadurai at @mbifl2023 Saturday. We covered the gamut from fiscal imbalances to seat allotments in Parliament, &discussed devolution, confederation, equalisation of state powers & more https://t.co/P0S9XkWviZ — PolitiTweet.org
Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor
Just before our session on Indian Federalism, @ptrmadurai joined me in launching the Malayalam edition of my sister @ShobhaTharoor’s book on my mother (“Dhanya Jeevitham”). Glad to see my mother’s “extraordinary ordinary life” win a new audience. https://t.co/xIO3A4SgaI — PolitiTweet.org

Addressed the anxious community representatives gathered in Pazhayakada on a protest dharna. Assured them of my intervention in their favour on this vexed issue. Minister @nitin_gadkari has always responded constructively to genuine community needs &I’m confident he will again. https://t.co/CrOq8wZUYj — PolitiTweet.org
