A quote from the above link

Sonia Gandhi alleged that the impasse was due to the “gross insensitivity of the Modi government to public opinion, for its absolute silence on acts of monumental corruption, its wilful violations of the law and gross misdemeanours on the part of its leading lights”.

Another August 1

Well August 1 always has a special meaning. I age by one year this day and another TRB deadline passes by. Over the last few years, I have been a slave to the deadline. Yesterday I was up till 6 AM working on some paper. Is this what I really want to do? I want to submit papers but why such a mad rush. I need to contemplate this more carefully. How do I manage a productive TRB season with a little less stress - That is the million dollar question!

Another Wimbledon Final

Federer versus Djokovic did not go as I would have liked. Federer did not bring his A game and he can't beat Djokovic at this level.

Anyway, happy Federer has the will to struggle. Got to give him that. An inspiration for mere mortals like me.

Good moves..
