Lines I wrote some months ago as the MH370 saga seemed headed nowhere. Settle and move on, was the mantra.
In the seven years since MH370 was last seen, much has been said and yet key questions remain unanswered. Will a renewed search take us closer to the truth?
Florence de Changy’s upcoming book casts serious doubts on the official narrative that places MH370’s end in the Southern Indian Ocean. Will it provide the impetus for more searching questions and a fresh investigation?
The missing flight MH370 is now a fading memory. Will the search ever be resumed? I hope so. But not in my name or for my sake – that is, as a family member of a passenger on that flight. I say this to all who get in touch with the MH families with information…
(This is the address that I had planned to give at the MH370 Remembrance event in Kuala Lumpur today, the 7th of March 2020. I called off my trip at the last minute. I am sharing it here.)

I have often wondered how things might be if all things that seemed the right thing to do as regards MH370 search and investigation (from our perspective)…
Friends, My family and friends in India send you their greetings. Unlike previous years, I have been ambivalent about making this trip. I have searched hard to understand this. It is almost 5 years since I saw off my wife, Chandrika, and the last we heard from Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, the flight she boarded…
