Sharing a common residence boundary wall for 21 years (except when Soli twice occupied official accommodation as AG), I had a standing pact with him & wife Zena that they would not hesitate to call.
In the Maneka Gandhi case, the court had particularly mentioned that “Attorney General (and the Additional Solicitor General who appeared with him), with characteristic and commendable grace and perceptive and progressive realism, agreed to the happy resolution of the present dispute in the manner set out in my learned brother s judgment.”

As the President of Capital Jazz, the Jazz India Delhi Chapter, he ensured that the music performed in Jazz Utsav was in tune with the times.
Soli knew he was going. ‘We are in the departure lounge waiting for visas to come through,” he told his friend Subash a week or so ago.
You wouldn’t have thought that a month earlier, when he was on stage at the India International Centre, bantering with Supreme Court judge Justice Rohinton Nariman at the launch of his collected works, Down Memory Lane.

‘Firms must surpass minimum standards to ensure safety’
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will soon issue cybersecurity norms for payment service providers (PSPs), following a series of data breaches faced by operators including Mobikwik and payment aggregator JusPay, a top RBI official said.
While the standards for fintech-driven payment services providers will be similar to cyber hygiene norms issued recently for banks and non-banking finance companies, the RBI is quite clear that firms will have to do more than observe the minimum standards to ensure safety as digital transactions gain further traction.

Given the frightening situation regarding the surging pandemic, it is difficult to think or write of anything else. News comes daily about close family and friends who have been infected and their nightmarish experiences in locating a hospital bed, or even a clinic to get their Covid tests done. Worse, the mutant strains in this round sometimes evade the RT-PCR test, and only a CT scan at a later, more dangerous stage, when it has entered and harmed the lungs, is able to locate it. Others have complained of typhoid-like symptoms: all in all, the safest bet is to stay resolutely indoors and avoid all contact with other people. One wonders how effective the weekend lockdowns will be when the bhakts from the Kumbh and those from election rallies return to their villages. And the less said about our netas and their irresponsible behaviour, the better.
