The ISA.

 1. Following the US exit from 66 international organisations, including the India-backed International             Solar Alliance (ISA), the Indian government said the alliance remains focused on its objective of                 supporting member countries to scale up solar energy.

 2. Government sources said the ISA will continue to work with member countries, particularly least               developed countries and small island developing states, on the development and deployment of

     solar energy. Its work includes mobilising finance, building capacity and reducing risk perceptions.

 3. ISA today represents 125 member/signatory countries. ISA remains focused on its objective of

     supporting member countries in collectively addressing key common challenges to scaling up of

     solar energy, in line with their needs, to achieve universal energy access.

My take

Trump's idiotic move and the US's stupid move!

Tailpiece.

Got up at 5, sent all the messages, switched on the hymns on the home theatre, lit up the puja room lamp and opened up the house for the day.

Morning cuppa with Lekha.

Walked on the road in front of The Quarterdeck; recited my prayers. had an early bath.

Breakfast; worked on my laptop.

Lunch, watched television and siesta.

A quiet evening.
