I hope&pray that #Covaxin, #Covishield & other Indian-made vaccines will prove to be safe&effective & save millions of lives in India& around the world. But wouldn't our global credibility & standing have gained if we'd respected established scientific procedures before approval? — PolitiTweet.org

Delighted to report that Kerala's biggest Shiva statue, at Aazhimala on the Arabian Sea coast near Thiruvananthapuram, which i visited under construction a year ago (& had the privilege of offering pushpabhishekam), was declared open to the public from NewYear's Day. All welcome! — PolitiTweet.org

Before his car accident, Pataudi was hailed as potentially the greatest batsman in the world. A measure of his talent & ability is that he lost one eye, had to change his stance& still made his Test debut for India six months later. What might have been if he had declined a ride? — PolitiTweet.org

Now that @BorisJohnson’s visit to India this month has been cancelled due to the #COVIDSecondWave, & we don’t have a Chief Guest on #RepublicDay, why not go one step farther & cancel the festivities altogether? Getting crowds to cheer the parade as usual would be irresponsible. — PolitiTweet.org

I agree w/ @KanganaTeam that there are so many things in a homemaker’s life that are beyond price. But this is not about those things: it’s about recognising the value of unpaid work&also ensuring a basic income to every woman. I’d like all Indian women to be as empowered as you! — PolitiTweet.org

Happy 70th birthday to the versatile Kerala actor Jagathy Sreekumar. Confined to a wheelchair since a horrific car accident seven years ago, he has fought back gamely & showed us inspiring glimpses of his spirit. Wishing him many happier returns of the day. #JagathySreekumar https://t.co/wmmsKfZkGz — PolitiTweet.org
