(Published in The Sentinel Arunachal, dated on 27th-Oct, 2009)Khandu with his chosen ‘42’ is oozing with confidence and comfort. No wonder that Khandu indicated about retaining the same old team with two additional new faces in lieu of Lombo Tayeng and Tatar Kipa. A source, who has known him for long, told that he would like to keep his ‘chieftains’ happy therefore he would follow their advice.

Itanagar, 23 Oct: Assembly Election 2009, results are out. In deciding the fate of political parties, people have decided their fate too. Amidst the fanfare of victory celebration, I wonder the whereabouts of civil society advocates. Prelude to election also, disappearance of civil society advocates- individuals or groups; and their inactions are equivalent to their irrelevance. It is surprising

In him, we lost a handsome nephew.Amidst these not-so-happy moments, there is good news today- on my birthday.
