Spoke to Kerala ChiefSecretary VishwasMehta to convey my concerns about reports of extended lockdown in Thiruvananthapuram. Many constituents point out that 3 wks lockdown have not slowed the spread of #COVID19. We need to let people go back to work to balance lives&livelihoods. — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, it's a privilege that few have, of holding a job where remote work is even possible. Not an option, of course, for the vast majority of Indians & so many of my constituents. For them, a return to normality is vital to earn a living. We need2make regular work feasible. — PolitiTweet.org

Earlier, @Twitter had authorized its employees to work from home indefinitely. Workplaces are going to look quite deserted for another year,it seems. But there are good arguments for "back to work"; synergies among colleagues & team-building require a common space. WFH has limits — PolitiTweet.org

Amused by the Sanghi over-reaction to my posting @thewire_in piece by Badri Raina about burial. I said I found it intriguing: I didn't say i agreed with it. I value unconventional ideas that provoke thought. Unfortunately Sanghis just get provoked; thought is alien to them. — PolitiTweet.org
