#DonaldTrump may be a bad president and a rude one but his constant ability to take questions from reporters is praiseworthy. More importantly it shows up the US as an evolved democracy in which leaders cannot simply sidestep the media, and one in which reporters are courteous but not slavish. No point in raving about India's democracy until we catch up on that front. Real leaders face news media questions. Real news media shows some spine.

My colleague @VinayakD has put together a really cool (and representative) dashboard for Delhi’s bad air. It is comprehensive and scrapes data from multiple sources to understand meteorological conditions and source of pollution. hindustantimes.com/breathe
