Just as I had finished dealing w/ several constituents at home in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised by a visit from a smart delegation of students from StJohn’s School, Thiruvananthapuram. A brief informal interaction was all they sought &they got it.(I returned the roses!) https://t.co/SshGYFElfY — PolitiTweet.org

Brilliant analysis by @RamaNewDelhi of how the Modi-Shah duo, despite a disgraceful record of governmental failure, have managed to detach themselves from their own abysmal mistakes and still win elections: https://t.co/uheYDUFWMi #WakeUpIndia! — PolitiTweet.org

@stylistanu Thanks. There was also a second round of two dozen petitioners, lunch while watching a few minutes of the pink-ball Teat match, a visit to my doctor & a haircut. I am however late for a dinner I had promised to attend! — PolitiTweet.org

An extract from the management book. By this yardstick I’d say a major problem with our Government is that it is headed by managers, not leaders. https://t.co/hpGTRFEl6a — PolitiTweet.org

Shashi Tharoor @ShashiTharoor

Released the fourth edition of a superb management book “Leadership’s Winning Software” by Dr MC Jacob. Full of wise insights leavened by great quotes & analogies, it includes a management case story of ⁦@rajasthanroyals⁩’ transformation under ⁦@ShaneWarne⁩! https://t.co/BdPbWFNyJl — PolitiTweet.org

Visited the Lords Hospital intersection of the National Highway bypass where local residents told me there have been 28 accidents and 5 deaths in the last five months. They are pleading for traffic lights. I promised to take it up with the NH authorities. https://t.co/OkOx9cKng3 — PolitiTweet.org

Inaugurated & flagged off a school bus donated from my MPLADS funds to the local VJM school. Reducing parents’ anxiety about getting their kids to&from school is worth the expense! https://t.co/1j8HP8HVi9 — PolitiTweet.org

Addressed a workshop for People with MajorDisabilities organised by ⁦@palliumindia⁩ in Thiruvananthapuram. Spoke of the need to not just pass laws but implement them effectively so they make a practical difference for disabled people.

Chaired the first of what’s intended to be quarterly meetings of the District Development Coordination & Monitoring Committee to review the progress of 41 different government schemes in Thiruvananthapuram. The discussion went on for nearly three hours. https://t.co/AtrOWbjAvU — PolitiTweet.org

Busy Saturday in Thiruvananthapuram! After receiving dozens of petitioners, addressed a seminar on “Hegemonic Ideograms” at Govt Women’s College. The evolving impact of emoticons, memes &gifs on social media on the use of language was the subject of a daylong discussion yesterday https://t.co/P58s9TDC8X — PolitiTweet.org

An amazing story, compellingly written, of Partition, dislocation, mental illness, & of how myths are made. The kind of investigative journalism that is all too rare in today’s 24/7 news cycles. Kudos to @EllenBarryNYT : https://t.co/OqQ6v3KS83 — PolitiTweet.org

This is deeply unwise. It has been a challenge to bring international cricket to Thiruvananthapuram &if this Boycott campaign succeeds, you will destroy the future prospects of big matches coming to our city. I share your outrage over the omission of @IamSanjuSamson but not this! — PolitiTweet.org
