My affairs with books.

We would love to give a free checkup to all the umpires of @IPL and free surgery to Nitin menon.

Do read- In our current moment we face a new crisis, one that affects our minds more than our bodies: the negative impact of digital technology on our ability to think. Is it time for a new revolution? nytimes.com/2026/03/27/opi…

I will post the links of Telugu short stories I liked, which are available online.

@abidsbooks I have started investing in mutual funds after reading this book. చాలా simple language లో బాగా ఉంటది. Beginner friendly book for Financial literacy.

@akhila_author Who is your favourite contemporary author andi?

You can't fix a girl who read these telugu authors...🤩🤩🤩 #Telugubooks #Teluguliterature

@tgspdcl is the most discriminatory organization in terms of awarding promotions to its employees. Last year it has issued incharge promotions to certain cadres. But outright discrimination towards JACOs recruited in 2022. @revanth_anumula @TelanganaCMO @Bhatti_Mallu @cmdtgspdcl

Lock in, be private, accept the loneliness, and fix your life. Level up.

I’m in love with this sentence: “The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”

You’ve never touched anything in your life. Not your phone. Not your morning coffee. Not the person you love. Every atom in your body is 99.9999999999999% empty space. If the core of an atom were the size of a marble, the nearest electron would be all the way out in the parking lot of a football stadium. Everything in between is empty. We’ve known this since 1911. A physicist named Ernest Rutherford fired tiny particles at a sheet of gold foil expecting them all to pass right through. Most did. But about 1 in 8,000 bounced straight back at him. He said it was like firing a cannon at tissue paper and having the shell come back and hit you. That one result proved every atom is almost entirely void, with all its weight crammed into a core 100,000 times smaller than the atom itself. So when you sit in a chair, you’re not actually sitting on it. The electrons in your body are pushing against the electrons in the chair. Same force that makes two magnets resist each other when you flip one around. You’re floating above the surface, separated by a gap about 10,000 times thinner than a sheet of paper. Every handshake is two invisible clouds of electrons pressing against each other without ever merging. Remove all that empty space from every atom in every human on Earth, and 8 billion people compress down to a single sugar cube. It would weigh billions of tons and fall straight through the floor, through the crust, all the way to the center of the Earth. Same density as a neutron star. But the tweet gets one thing a little wrong. Whether atoms “touch” depends on how you define touch. Philip Moriarty, a physicist at the University of Nottingham who literally pushes individual atoms around with a needle for a living, says contact does happen at the atomic level. It’s the point where the pull between atoms balances the push. And when you eat food, your body breaks those molecules apart and chemically bonds with them, atoms merging across boundaries. That’s real contact. So what you feel when you hold someone’s hand isn’t skin on skin. It’s the same force that holds together every molecule in every star, pressing your electrons against theirs. You’ve never made contact the way your brain pictures it. What’s actually happening is stranger and honestly way cooler.

I've been to Kazakhstan every year for the past 3 years. Planning my fourth trip. And every time I come back, the same thing happens. I show people photos, and they say, "Wait, that's Kazakhstan?" The country is the size of all of Western Europe. 2.7 million square kilometers. Ninth largest on Earth. It has a canyon that makes you think you're staring at Arizona (Charyn Canyon runs 80 kilometers), alpine lakes that hide entire forests underwater from a 1911 earthquake (Lake Kaindy), and the Altai Mountains, whose name literally means "Golden Mountains" in Turkic. Snow leopards still live wild in these ranges. Almost nobody visits. Iceland, 26 times smaller, gets 2.5 million international tourists a year. New Zealand, 10 times smaller, gets 3.3 million. Kazakhstan? About 1 million foreign visitors booked hotel rooms in the first nine months of 2025. The headline number of 15 million "visitors" is mostly neighbors from Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia crossing the border. The country is catching on, though. Their global tourism ranking jumped from 66th to 52nd in a single year. They launched a "Neo Nomad" visa in late 2024 that lets remote workers stay for up to a year. Visa-free entry for 87 countries, including the US and EU. Tourism investment climbed 38% in 2025 to around $2 billion. The Altay region in this video covers nearly a tenth of the entire country. The country as a whole averages about 8 people per square kilometer. You can drive for hours through rolling green steppe and see nothing but horses. If this place were in Europe or had a nonstop from JFK, it'd be overrun tomorrow. Right now, you can stand in genuinely world-class scenery and be the only person there. That window won't last forever.

@VisionQuestress @anishmoonka What is the name of the book?

@anishmoonka My Dad and his girlfriend ventured on a 1000km trip on horseback circumnavigating the rural Altai mountains a while back. He just published a book about it. Majestic lands.

In honour of THE OFFICE ’s 21st anniversary, what’s your favorite moment from the show?
