I wished you had asked her how she feels about german guys…
You should have emailed in that question!
The people cannot wait. You are supposed to be a journalist, Mrinal. I expect you to get in touch with Katie, find out how she feels about German guys, and update the post with that information. Preferably in the headline so I don’t have to click anything. Anything less, and I will never take you seriously as a reporter again!
Good concept, but you should do some more research first next time. You sound a little clueless about swimming.
Good comment, but you should do some more research first next time. You sound a little clueless about this series.
If they talk about swimming like everyone knows all about it, the vast majority of us who don’t know anything about the sport will be left out in the cold.
This is genuinely funny to the not-sportistically inclined layperson. Keep it up.
Excellent post Arghya. Even I will agree with you in that the Left has failed to clean up the hotasipls and fill up the potholes. I wish it had. I don’t agree that this is because of a culture of strikes. As a political activist, I hate strikes. They are a pain to implement because at the end of the day, students want to study, people want to get to work. And yet, strikes help to get noticed. They help to have a large enough mobilisation. You can’t ignore lakhs of people -even if the media ignores you. It’s best not to take recourse to strikes all the time because they affect daily life and cause pain and inconvenience to everyone but it is undemocratic to say, ban strikes.
