Some non-Covid news to lift your spririts: Sir Philip Barton today presented his credentials to President Ram Nath Kovind, in a virtual ceremony, as British High Commissioner to India. Barton said, "It is the greatest honour and privilege of my diplomatic career to represent the UK in this wonderful country. We often speak of a living bridge of people, ideas and institutions that tie UK and India. I, too, am part of that bridge. My mother was born in Shimla. I met my wife when we both worked here and we named our daughter 'India' - not knowing I would return one day as High Commissioner."
