PS: Folks, their contact form is not accepting my complaint either. Could you amplify this message please?

Not accountable to the city? Lordships of the kingdom. Central Railway General Manager Vijay Kumar's rude security guards slamming the door on journalists at CSMT when they went to meet him for a comment on the mass chaos & deaths on Central Railway on Thursday. Mumbai Divisional Railway Manager Hiresh Mina too refused to meet journalists, after making them wait. CSMT HQ offices had become a fortress today Whom are they answerable to @AshwiniVaishnaw ji ? #Mumbai #MumbaiRailway @RailMinIndia @RavneetBittu @VSOMANNA_BJP

This is one of my favorite #SNL short films. The brilliant Robert Smigel (@TriumphICDHQ ) wrote it - and recruited me to play #Chaplin. I thought its premise was inspired. And I never turn down an opportunity to play Chaplin. Unfortunately it never made it to air.
It played at dress rehearsal to crickets, live crickets, and we still maintain that a human audience might have liked it. Here now, for the first time, watch ‘Chaplin’ and, for the trazillionth time, enjoy the magic of #PhilHartman, @realjonlovitz , and I.

If you start watching UNCUT GEMS at 9:53:57 PM on New Year's Eve, you will see this exact frame at 11:59:59. Having miraculously survived 2020, you're now ready to go into 2021 with a vigor and optimism, nothing possibly can go wrong in the next second. 2021 is your year.

Here this is, for those interested. As always, not just a list of albums but writing about the albums/artists that I admired, appreciated, and learned from. I normally don't write about the list but did explain how I hit such a high number this year.

India’s @CoalMinistry invokes the archaic Coal Bearing Areas Act to acquire land in the lush Hasdeo Arand forest for @APMDC_GoAP, mining arm of the power-surplus state of Andhra Pradesh. The act has no provisions to consult or seek the consent of affected communities.
