“Momma tweet, Poppa sweet, and their family full of tweetle bums”, is an incredibly catchy nursery rhyme we may remember. However, we may never have realised that such sweet tweets can land us in big trouble.
Here is a cyclone that makes Cyclone Tauktae look like a pygmy. It has a vortex too and at its eye, is Twitter. There are 3 versions to it and the messenger is already shot in the leg!

In a cult film that gave birth to the cult of Dudeism, The Big Lebowski, Jeff Lebowski, played by Jeff Bridges, drinks White Russian, a vodka-based cocktail (read till the end for Jeff Lebowski s recipe of White Russian). Belarus literally means the White Russia. How white can one get? But Belarus is in news for all kinds of darkness brought to the world by its president Alexander Lukashenko.

Not great poetry but it sums up today’s reality neatly and also concludes on a positive note. How did we reach this situation in such a short time and how have we been caught with our pants down a second time? The first wave was not a very virulent one and we fought it successfully with our limited infrastructure.

On the occasion of the 72nd Republic Day of India, the Embassy of India in the UAE extends its warmest greetings to all members of the Indian community.
