Shri Maroof Raza Ji made a rich contribution to the world of journalism. He enriched public discourse with his nuanced understanding of defence, national security as well as strategic affairs. Pained by his passing. Condolences to his family and friends.

@dravinashbhatt @MoHFW_INDIA A one time preventive step will probably work better than a screening program in a country as large and diverse (in terms of healthcare delivery) as ours

@pariktank @MoHFW_INDIA For those who feel this is wrong...look at the incidence, look at the uptake of pap smear and look at the clinical data with the vaccine. This makes complete sense

Cervical cancer is the 2nd most common cause of cancer related deaths in Indian women. Annually we are losing 75000 women in India to a potentially preventable disease. @MoHFW_INDIA is rolling out the HPV vaccine program for 14 yr old girls. A huge step in the right direction!

The first case of asthma being a sexually transmitted disease?

Nothing much in core OBGYN.

Please recover well. May you find the strength, time and resources to pursue justice in this matter.

@AirIndiaX, today one of your pilots, Capt. Virender Sejwal, assaulted me physically at T1, Delhi Airport. Here are the facts of the matter,: 🔸 Me & my family were guided to use the security check that the staff uses (also the PRM check), because we had a 4 month old baby in a stroller. 🔸 The staff was cutting the queue ahead of me. On calling them out, Capt. Virender, who himself was doing the same thing, asked me if I was anpadh (uneducated), and couldn't read the signs that said this entry was for staff. 🔸 A verbal scuffle broke out. 🔸 Not able to excercise restraint, the AIX pilot proceeded to physically assault me, leaving me bloody. The blood in the photograph (first comment) on his shirt is also mine. Here are my issues with the whole thing: 🔹 My holiday is ruined. The first thing I have done here is see a doctor. 🔹 My 7 year old daughter, who saw her father get assaulted brutally, is still traumatized & scared. 🔹 I have no clue how @DGCAIndia & @AirIndiaX can allow such pilots to fly. If they can't keep their cool in a scuffle, can they be trusted with the lives of hundreds of people in the sky? 🔹 How can @DelhiAirport get away with such mismanagement, combining staff entry with passengers carrying infants, creating chaos at a sensitive security area? I thought Airports were safe places! 🔹 I was forced to write a letter stating that I will not pursue this matter further ... It was either write that letter, or miss my flight and throw the 1.2 lakhs holiday bookings down the drain. @DelhiPolice, why can't I file a complaint after coming back? Must I sacrifice my money too, to seek justice? Will the CCTV footage disappear in the 2 days till I make it back to Delhi? To my friends & well wishers, I am pretty shaken, but nothing permanent. Can't say the same about my daughter though. 😢

My CISO called me at 3 AM last Tuesday. "We caught someone." I asked, "Caught them doing what?" He said, "Typing." Let me explain. We have an employee in IT. Great worker. Always online. Never complained. Perfect Slack etiquette. One problem. His keystrokes were arriving 110 milliseconds late. One hundred and ten milliseconds. That's 0.11 seconds. The average American remote worker has 20-40ms of latency. This guy? 110ms. Every. Single. Keystroke. My security team ran the numbers. That latency doesn't come from a bad router in Ohio. That latency comes from Pyongyang. Our "Senior DevOps Engineer" was a North Korean operative. Running his work laptop through a laptop farm. In America. While he worked from a government building. In North Korea. He passed the interview. He passed the background check. He passed the vibe check. He did not pass the speed of light. Here's what people don't understand about physics: Light travels 186,000 miles per second. But it still has to go through China. And China adds latency. Since April, Amazon has caught 1,800 of these attempts. Eighteen hundred. I called an emergency meeting with my board. I said, "We need to implement Keystroke Velocity Auditing across all remote employees." They said, "That sounds invasive." I said, "You know what else is invasive? The Democratic People's Republic of Korea in your Jira tickets." They approved the budget. We now monitor keystroke timing to the microsecond. If your latency exceeds 60ms, you get a call from HR. If it exceeds 100ms, you get a call from the FBI. We've already flagged 47 employees. Turns out 44 of them just have bad Wi-Fi. 3 of them are "still under investigation." The lesson? You can fake a resume. You can fake a background check. You can fake an American accent on Zoom. But you cannot fake the speed of light. Physics is the ultimate background check. Hire accordingly.

With the @BlrLitFest at Freedom Park (formerly central jail), this venue has housed both prose and cons.

AirDrop is now compatible with Android! This is the kind of progress we need to see. We’re already exploring how to bring this to Nothing phones as soon as we can.

To make this, I had to digitise the graphs from the published trials, since the underlying numbers aren't available. If anyone has any ideas on how to get the raw data, I would love to hear them! More details on each drug here:

Retatrutide is such an incredible drug. Every other company is competing for second place against tirzepatide while Lilly is jumping ahead to maintain first.

@jeevandayni @ShreerajT And do the desks have the same note when they are thumped during the music shows?!

@ShreerajT From glass boards to digital boards We have come a long way Looks classy I wondyif paper planes are still allowed during fest auditions 🤣🤣

GLP-1 drugs and cancer? A new study shows colon cancer patients on GLP-1s had a 5-yr mortality of 15.5% vs 37.1% in non-users. That’s MASSIVE. Researchers say it may go beyond weight loss — GLP-1s may be reshaping inflammation, immunity, metabolism, even tumor biology. From diabetes → obesity → heart → kidney → now possible anticancer effects. We’re watching the start of something BIG. 🔥 #GLP1 #CancerResearch #ColonCancer #MedTwitter #RheumTwitter #Oncology #ObesityMedicine #Metabolism #Healthcare #MedicalNews #Ozempic #Wegovy @DrAkhilX @IhabFathiSulima @CelestinoGutirr @Urchilla01
