 Musings…  I am appalled by the steps taken by US President Donald Trump and his ally Israel PM & War Criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in the Middle East.  First they target and kill the Supreme Leader of a sovereign state Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and killing along with him majority of his cabinet, including hid infant granddaughter.  Then Israel, already under International Criminal Court scrutiny for killing infants and children, kill more than 180 children according to latest reports, by bombing a school in Tehran.  USA and Israel had blood on their hands and are giving flimsy reasons for starting the war.

In these states peace is still at arms length with no vi...

 Musings....... The year 2020 circa will be for long remembered as the Pandemic year for centuries to come.

The special status accorded to all the state Jammu and Kashmir was taken away and the state made into two Union Territories of J and K and Ladakh.  One positive outcome of all this was that the  Protests a...

Musings....... It was with a kind of satisfaction that I had gotten to sleep yesterday night.  The reason was of course that an experimental COVID19 vaccine, being developed by the University of Oxford, was safe and produced an immune response in early- stage clinical trials in healthy volunteers. The Vaccine called AZD1222  ( ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 ) did not prompt any serious side effects and elicited antibody and T-cell immune responses, according to trial result published by the Lancet medical journal. The vaccine is being developed by the Pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and scientists at Britain’s University of Oxford. More research would be required to confirm the efficacy of the vaccine and to know for how long any protection lasts. According to reports, AstraZeneca has signed agreements with governments around the world to supply the vaccine should it prove effective and gain regulatory approval. The company has said it will not seek to profit from the vaccine d...
