Glad it was a time off and not any health issues!! I was beginning to worry

Why do you apologise, after all you are a human being and you need to take a rest, maybe even more. Just saying, interesting to hear the perspective, as usual. Hope this visit, as well as the future ones along with the interactions, will deepen the ties between the 2 nations.

Only when Shekhar uncle doesn't post for long, it's then, that we realise how much we miss his episodes.

Good to see you back Mr Shekhar Gupta. I was worried you might be unwell.

When your favourite journalist goes on break, the whole world seems a bit more complex to decipher!

[speedbird]

SG is back and the class is quiet. Also I like your watch Sir. Is it an Apple watch?

[Drganguli]

India would be happy with a US Russia friendship but that may not happen anytime soon
