@toonfactory @Bollywoodirect Intriguing had never heard of this.. thanks 😊

Poster of Dev Anand’s shelved movie Dev, Dharam, Dhanraj. This was supposed to be Brij (Sadanah)‘s Magnum Opus. Brij’s Victoria No. 203 was written by K.A.Narayan. Who also wrote Jewel Thief and Johnny Mera Naam. @Bollywoodirect

@loveofcinemasf8 @Nopisingh @IAmSudhirMishra @dirtigmanshu Absolutely wicked & hilarious .. thanks for sharing :)

Drop everything. Read this. 😅 Ethan Coen reviews Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth imightbewrong.substack.com/p/joel-coens-t…

@theBekku Love the world and characters Manu Bhattathiri created .. wonderful series… Will pick up Left from the Nameless Shop too, haven’t read that, thx..

Happy to see Adithi Rao's Left from the Nameless Shop on this list (finally!). This + Savithri's Special Room & Other Stories by Manu Bhattathiri are two books I've recco'd together so many times. Beautiful glimpses into small-town India for those who know what it's like...

Like something conjured up by Philip Dick+Douglas Adams+Rod Serling+Kubrick on a wild drunken romp, The Anomaly by @HerveLeTellier genre jumps from drama to sci-fi to black comedy to thriller to philosophical riddle & more. Deliriously & deliciously mind-bending .. loved it👌

@myhistorytales Absolutely delightful read thank you :)

Do you know what is the greatest war in evolutionary biology in nature ? Read Along! 🧵 The story of The Giraffe vs the Acacia!! 🦒 🌳 The Acacia tree is the quintessential tree of Africa. Any random google search of African wild will throw an image of an Acacia Tree 1/n

@AmbarishSatwik Fabulous read… absolutely riveting … thank you :)

“Now, you’ve got an aneurysm in there as big as a grapefruit, and it’s about ready to burst. But you’re a strong boy, and I’m the best surgeon in the world, so if this had to happen, we’ve got the best possible odds.”

@EddieRobson @chazhutton @tobiasfollett absolutely loved this and suspect you’ll definitely appreciate this too :)

@theBekku Awesome thank you!🙏

@ShridharR Same here. Can't e-book at all & definitely not with comics. The Regal & Frew titles you can order directly from Regal itself here: regalpublishers.in

The lastest batch ordered from Regal Comics has arrived, with assorted extras too... #phantom #comics

@theBekku Thank you so much… will try locate stores that have the physical copies … don’t enjoy digital editions as much :)

@ShridharR Reprints, but almost all of the Regal titles are from the Tony DePaul era so zero overlap between these and the Indrajals. The australian Frew comics are also strip reprints, from way earlier, from what i've seen most didn't come out from Indrajal.

The Lincoln Highway by @amortowles is an exhilarating romp of a road trip, a true ‘escapade’, with delightful quirky characters reminiscent of Dickens & Twain, x-rayed lovingly & empathically so we get what really makes them tick. It’s 576 pages short, wish it were a 1000 more👏🏽

@timesofindia hi, am a digital subscriber. Your recent design/interface changes have made it increasing frustrating to navigate the paper on IPad, regardless of browser used. Scrolling, enlarging, reading, switching pages.. all very buggy. Please revert to earlier interface 🙏

@iamabofh @theBekku @CommandoComic Thank you and congrats … look forward to reading 😊

@ShridharR @theBekku @CommandoComic amazon.in/Commando-5481-…

It's here! My own print copy of the first ever @CommandoComic written by an Indian, @iamabofh. Fantastic story to boot.

@b_mathur @AUThackeray @mybmc @IqbalSinghChah2 P ward is sealing entire floor for even one positive case! Please do look into it & pull back as it’s extremely impractical + badly affects students appearing for 10th/12th prelims & essential workers. It makes no sense to do this. Seal only those flats that have a case please.

@AUThackeray @mybmc P Ward issued impractical guidelines for sealing buildings. Quarantining 15-20 healthy people for each +ve case for 14 days. No exceptions for essential workers also. And what about 10th & 12th students, appearing for prelims? Pls look into this. @IqbalSinghChah2

Request Citizens to go through this protocol issued by the @mybmc

Rahul Rawail’s book on his mentor Raj Kapoor is a delirious and outstanding riot of a read.. part homage, part memoir, part master-class :) If you’re a fan of either director or their work, if you’re a film student or a film lover… you absolutely have to read it :)

@hubermanlab Your podcast was easily the best thing about 2021 for me … wish you all the best for the new year and looking forward to the Sinclair podcast too … the recent one you did together was terrific 🙏

Thanks to all who took the time to tune in, and hopefully learned some things of value from the Huberman Lab Podcast in 2021 (our year 1). You can expect more science and science related tools from the HLP in 2022. Happy New Year to all!

@austinkleon This is terrific thank you … wonderful set of wormholes to many posts I had inadvertently missed 🙏

Oh, what the heck, dropping this early: austinkleon.com/2021/12/30/100…

@bhalomanush Love your newsletter .. looking forward to more of your writing in the new year, thank you :)

I have a notebook full of cool ideas for science articles and newsletters for 2022. I’ve also received a few requests (my email address is in my Twitter bio). Stay tuned.

Last newsletter of the year: My favorite popular science books of 2021 (not including the one I wrote). Plus, the woman who smelled Parkinson's disease. And, did a fungus make Brits tea-drinkers? gyandemic.substack.com

@KateClanchy1 Oh this is absolutely wonderful thank you :)
