Just like his intellectual descendant, Shashi-ji, Nehru-ji had spoken in English about India because his audience, like Shashi-ji's, was elsewhere.
The morning was glorious like no other, for the August Sun was shining on Nehru-ji as it had never done before.
Wearing his trademark jacket, not a crease or a spot, and a lusty rose in the buttonhole, Nehru-ji looked as fresh as the morning dew, and this despite the midnight.

Nehru-ji took out his Air Pods and instructed Siri in his clipped accent to play a song.
Unlike the blockheaded protagonists of the movie, Nehru-ji did not dance to the song.
A Congress worker tied a pigeon to a rocket and launched it, signaling the start of celebrations.
After some inspired suggestions from Nehru-ji, Plant and Page agreed to change the lyrics from "Not a single blade of grass grows there..." to "Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face...".
Also, there was some issue with the apparel as Nehru-ji did not like the socks that RHCP wanted to wear on the stage.
Nehru-ji later remembered this as one of the most powerful tributes because he later ensured that all these streets were named after him and his family.
A reporter had asked, "Your good name, Sir?" to an eminent historian, who then lost his cool.
Nehru-ji raised his left hand and the eminent historian cooled down.
The invitation card had read, "His Socialist Highness Jawaharlal Nehru cordially invites Bharat-Ratna..."
Since they did not show up, he gave himself a medal.

1/10 With respect, multiple straw men here:
A) If you mean by "legally questionable" either that Senate is barred by constitution from trying an official impeached while in office, or that there are even very strong arguments against it, I have to differ...
2/10 Constitutional structure, precedent & any fair reading of original intent dictate that argument for jurisdiction is far stronger than argument against. On original intent, see
3/10 If you mean argument against jurisdiction is plausible, sure, it's plausible. It's just weak. In practical fact, Senate can try Trump now, find him guilty & disqualify him from future office if there are sufficient votes. And no court would presume to overturn that result
4/10 b) The argument from resources is awfully hard to take seriously. Fewer than a dozen House members act as Managers for a few weeks. They are staffed, as are Senators hearing case, by folks whose job it is to do stuff like this...
5/10 Yes, Senate floor time will be taken up. But it's past time for us to stop thinking of members of either house as feeble, fluttering, occupants of a nationally-funded convalescent home. There are nearly 500 of these people with 1000s of staff and a bunch of big buildings...

Some argue that if the Senate declines to hold a legally questionable, resource-sucking trial, Trump would be getting a free pass. That assumes criminal authorities do nothing and citizens can't be trusted to evaluate. Censure and focus important work?
