Subject-wise List of My Blog Articles
23-4-2012 To 2-11-2023
Shrikant G. Talageri
This is a complete subject-wise list of my blog articles from 23/4/2012 to 2/11/2023, for the record and for my convenience as well as for anyone else interested.
A few of the articles may appear frivolous or over-reactions on my part (e.g. no. 90. Spewing Poison Comes Easily to Some People: Harini Swaminathan in Swarajyamag 21/3/2022, about which I felt, almost immediately after uploading it, that it was an over-reaction). A few other articles, or at least their titles (e.g. no. 148), likewise seem, even to me, a bit hasty or clumsy or even a bit silly in retrospect. But the moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.... Some resolutions are difficult to stick to (e.g. the one in the title of no. 155).
