The Lovely & the ‘Literary’ in the Editorial Column!

Today’s New Indian Express

12 October 2023

If language is the dress of thought, then, the editorial piece of the day’s newspaper could be christened a ‘well-groomed’ article, in which thought is draped, embellished and beautified in such high quality ‘literariness’.

That’s hence, teachers and professors of English, down the ages, have always insisted on reading P. G. Wodehouse and the day’s Editorial 😊 to help improve one’s language quotient.

Sample today’s Editorial piece in today’s New Indian Express, by K P Nayar, Strategic Analyst.

Just giving snapshots from the article, to imbibe the aura of its lovely texture.

Unparalleled heights.

Their successes are also across the board.

That was the most definitive signal that Trudeau’s spat with India will not impact India-US relations.

India has always been adept at announcing high-sounding initiatives during VVIP visits in both directions, but has an abysmal record in following up on those announcements. 

With spectacular speed, considering its complex dimensions, iCET became a reality in eight months led by the national security advisors …continue to be the laggards.
