#wip Screenplay to be written and polished latest by the end-April Nicholls 2022 deadline. Location: NYC, The Moon, and Interstellar via spacecraft. Consciousness, and dystopian. Emma wants FTL, she needs reconciliation with the post-modern realities of AI.

@seanfeucht There's a million super-educated Hindus in America, right under your nose. Teach Jesus to them first, before bothering about wandering to hostile lands with incendiary legal traps for your actions. If you possess the power of the Holy Spirit, (a big if), then that should be easy.

Welp… it’s been a wild 24 hours 😳 Not sure if my wife will ever come back to India with me after this—but we’re finally headed home. Grateful for everyone who prayed us through 🙏🏽

@ScarletSpeeds16 She single handedly sank the Mean Girls movie remake with her dumb acting (non)skills.

Why doesn’t Hollywood cast her more often? She's so cute btw. 😩💘

@ssaratht Dunno why ur in my feed, but since we are here: if I am a Western Christian country wanting to tighten the "colonial" screws, my next move would be 'play the church'. Nice for ur top guy to find His Ministers Children settled in Christianity's midst become Christian themselves.

Donald Trump on Truth Social. 50% tariff. Plastered on India. We didn’t blink. EU protested. Japan negotiated. China retaliated. India? Calm. No panic. No midnight flights to Washington. No “urgent bilaterals.” Why? Modi’s ego? Blind nationalism? Or… something darker? A game running 11 years deep. May 2014. South Block. First briefing. NSA Ajit Doval leans in. “Sir… if India wants great-power status… expect U.S. heat. Trade. Tech. Oil. Our enemy isn’t China. It’s dependency. Tariffs. Sanctions. Dollar chokeholds. Defence strings.” The room went still. “Solution?” Modi asked. Doval: “Decouple risk. Build leverage. Not anti-U.S… pro-India. Bring Gulf and Africa closer. Build buffers. Own our seas. Weaponize our market.” The plan lit. And it burned for a decade. 18+ Hours Works 2014 Make in India Launched. First hooks in the wall. 2015 Qatar LNG renegotiation. Long-term energy locks. 2016–17 UPI goes live. GST knits the market. Payment diplomacy is born. 2018 Iran sanctions teach fuel-finance fortification. Whiteboards fill with sanction-resilience drills. 2019 National Electronics Policy. Stop just assembling. Start owning components. 2020 PLI tsunami: ₹1.97 lakh crore. Across 13+ sectors. Rafales touch tarmac. 2021 Strategic Petroleum Reserves expansion. Quiet, boring, vital. 2022 INS Vikrant sails. UAE CEPA. Australia ECTA. 2023 UPI - PayNow link. Rupee trade corridors multiply. Dollar choke-points lose bite. 2024 MIRV Agni-V test. 20-year Qatar LNG. Chabahar Port deal. 2025 Services exports $387.5B. U.S. slaps +25% tariff over Russian oil. Impact? Not existential. RBI loosens SRVA rules. Oil mix rebalanced. Market weapon ready. This wasn’t ego. It was armour. In 2013 GDP: $1.86 trillion. 2025: $4.19 trillion We’re 4th-largest economy. $17.65 trillion PPP. GDP per capita rose, ~$1.45K to ≈$2.9K. PPP $11,938 by 2025. Growth stands at 6–8%, Making us the fastest major economy. FDI? We went from shaky reformer to global darling $300 billion inflows since 2014, $81 billion in FY25 alone. Poverty halved; Macro stabilized; Market confidence sky high. I know it was Painful Journey. We ended up Paying High Taxes. But it was for this moments. And yes, It makes America uncomfortable. Because here… the Viceroy’s chair is empty. Because here… puppets have no strings. Tariffs? They clang against armour, not chains. We sip our chai. We count our tankers. We guard our seas. We fly our own skies. And our finance? Not your Colonial charity, Thank you very much. No, the garlands won’t go to Modi. He’ll be mocked. Branded. Hated. I’ve got my own laundry list of criticisms. But this phase… This pain… This was the Agni in the furnace. And now, What will the West do when they can't bend Bharat? When the memos and sanctions don’t bite? Will the next captain keep the altitude steady? Or… Will we trade sovereignty for a seat at their tea party? Your move, Sahib. - Brilliant piece by Narayan Kumar.

@JRosario123 Yes. Thanks for asking. It's just that I don't login so very often here in Twitter/ X.

Screenwriting is full of disappointments. You gotta have something you do on the side that you have control over that yields positive results to help keep you afloat

Once a society concludes that meritocracy is unfair, it is on a rapid path to self-immolation.

The life of the writer is essentially lonely; he has to live among the interest and creations of his own mind, and therefore he has above all things, as a condition of his work, to accustom himself to loneliness. – Gustave Flaubert #writing #author tinyurl.com/b2nryd6x

THE FALL GUY "disappointed" at $28m this weekend. This was due to production and marketing costs, which treated the property as a beloved I.P., which it isn't. With that, I thought it'd be worth reviewing again the rise of I.P. and marketing as the focus of the studio business.

THIS IS EVERYTHING. #storytelling

@RBReich Also, please do remember that the #WritersGuild effectively negotiated an historic agreement with Hollywood, that is the benchmark for resolving any future AI controversies vis-a-vis human creative efforts. @WGAEast @WGAWest

@peta So, is animal origin milk okay with you folk or not? Last I knew, there was a flaming row in our midst: some claimed to be vegan, but don't mind cattle milk and cheese. Are they 'kosher' with you, or failures?
