@satishacharya he was framed in metoo. Now cleaning his soul :)

Inko chahiye kya? 🙄 They've already got so much fame, name, money and love from people.

@theliverdoc Congratulations Doc!! May I know the page count 🫣

2/2 "In The Liver Doctor, Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, expert hepatologist and one of India’s most vocal advocates of science-led medicine, tells us the fascinating story of the least understood, most indispensable and only self-regenerating organ in the human body—the liver. With the searing precision of a scientist, the empathy of a doctor who witnesses the fragility of the human body every day and the dogged curiosity of a detective, Dr Philips dives into ancient myths and legends through various cultures, the annals of history as well as his own deeply personal encounters from his life as a doctor, taking his readers on a wondrous journey where belief collides with data and hope is tested against prognosis. In the end, The Liver Doctor becomes a treatise on the history and evolution of medical science itself - one that will leave you informed and poignantly unsettled, long after the last page is turned." Pre-orders are open now The Liver Doctor : Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration - amzn.in/d/0duTenmW

1/2 Dear Friends, I never wanted to become a doctor. I always wanted to write and tell stories. And yet, over the years, medicine gave me the most extraordinary stories I could never have imagined - stories that lived in hospital corridors, outpatient rooms and inside terrifying ICUs; in the trembling hands of a father carrying his jaundiced daughter, in the silence between a prognosis spoken and a family's world shattered. Today, I am proud and deeply moved to announce my first book, The Liver Doctor: Stories of Love, Loss and Regeneration, published by @HarperCollinsIN . This book is where my two worlds finally collide. My childhood love for writing and telling stories. And my adultdhood, as a medical doctor. Through the lives of real patients and their families - their courage, their grief, their impossible choices - I tell the story of the most misunderstood, most indispensable, and only self-regenerating organ in the human body: the liver. But this is not just a medical book. It is a journey through ancient myth and modern science, through Prometheus and Wilson's disease, through Mesopotamian clay tablets and liver transplant waiting lists, through the history of healing itself. I wrote it for doctors, so they may remember why they chose this life. I wrote it for patients and families, so they may know when to fight and when to find peace. I wrote it for myself, to make peace with what I have lost and what I will lose. This book shoulders that one truth I have learned in all my years at the clinical bedside: I did not become a doctor to help people cheat death, but to help them understand it. This book is my offering - to medicine, to storytelling, and to you. Lose yourself in these pages, as I have.

@prempanicker He receiving his photo frame, in his stadium😉

Trying hard to recall who and what this reminds me of

@prempanicker Was worse in 2019 for Andhra Pradesh

WTF! Kerala votes on April 9 and results are on May 4?! 🙇🙇🙇 (I understand the fear that negative results in one state can impact others - but at least STFU about one nation one election. At this rate, results will take one year).

@rameshsrivats If Fandromeda was active, atleast that task you could have outsourced😉

I would love to use Open Claw or Perplexity Personal Computer and outsource all my tasks. Unfortunately, I lead a life of leisure and have no work for them to do. Sigh!

@pradeepmagazine I felt its just miscommunication, all we could have said is "we handled the t20 team transition" well. Also, in India, every cricketer isnt a star?

In 2024 did win the T20 WC because it was infested with star culture and two years later they won it again because coach Gambhir dismantled that star culture? A bit confusing I must say.

@rameshsrivats I too realised that when after a WC win, no tears of joy, no fist pumping. Means we got used to victory :)

Clean India, I'll wait till 2047. No potholes, hmm, I'll wait till 2047. But T20 cricket: The one place where Viksit Bharat has already happened.

@rameshsrivats And the most important question? When will the IPL schedule release?

India played the T20 World Cup in reverse. USA match was like New Zealand match. New Zealand match was like USA match.

@AnilSunkara1 Flavours is an all time best movie in this genre. tough to beat :)

We are looking for a hilarious script based in USA and completely based on experiences of F-1,H-1s their experiences, emotions and fun. the writers should be willing to work for the next 3-4 months with the team to take it to next level. Those who had ready scripts please mail the synopsis to contact@ak.movie . Please send those which are contemporary and have an USP. But the main criteria is fun,fun and fun.

@timwig @Ram_Guha Lovely write up!! The seeds were sown after Ind's early exit in 2007 and then 2011 had a QF setup for the last time. the worst part for me was how the ICC knockout got transformed into another multi team tournament.

⏺️Preseeding the Super Eight groups ⏺️Fixing the draw so India meet Pakistan ⏺️Not playing the last group games simultaneously ⏺️India's semi-final venue being predecided The ICC talk about 'sporting integrity'. It is completely lacking in the World Cup telegraph.co.uk/cricket/2026/0…

@rameshsrivats Reminds me of 1998 Sharjah final buildup. Henry Olonga was on fire, but Sach killed the game.

Today, this conversation will be had in millions of Indian households: "Shall we go out for dinner at 7pm?" "I'll tell you at 6pm."

@RGVzoomin Only till another "Saiyyara" comes and resets :)

DHURANDAR 2 is an ASTEROID which might end the DINOSAUR era @AdityaDharFilms DHURANDHAR 2 has high chances of completely and permanently obliterating the pan india south films movement by establishing a brand new benchmark with ultra realistic making , genuine character depths etc that actually engage the audience’s brain while still delivering a raw visceral impact. Once audiences taste this new standard , every film currently under production in the previous masala style can become instantly endangered. Those ultra big budgeted masala projects that are already deep into shooting or post production will have an uphill task in competing with the new standards set Producers who bet entire empires on the same previous formulaic making might face empty theatres and career ending losses because of the high costs involved and the audience taste converting to the international standards Directors married to the belief of “mass + vfx + scale + gravity defying stunts = guaranteed hit will have no choice but to reinvent themselves by studying the Dhurandhar audiences Superstars who were depending upon their god like statuses resting solely on mindless hero worship will stand exposed in front of highly effective characters who grow to be heroes in the context of the story rather than already being hailed as heroes from frame one DHURANDHAR 2 is not just another film coming on March 19 th . It can be an ASTEROID STRIKE that might end the DINOSAUR ERA of film making which is full of sheer volume, fake heroism and the so called masala treatment The goal post has been changed and so if the direction of the kick does not change, it might not only break the leg , but it might lose the limb

@rameshsrivats or just release IPL schedule and remind who is the boss😉

Is too late to make this a Super-7 with the winner meeting India in the finals?

@RGVzoomin Wow!! Did you already see Toxic or making bold predictions just looking at 3 mins of footage? Sorry but Dhurandhar also believed audience as fools, with all fake nationalism and pak bashing. For me, 3/19 should be a new day when both films are rejected for their gore and vlgarity

THE #Dhuroxic PARK NO, I am not talking about TWO BIG FILMS #Dhurandhar2 and #Toxic releasing on March 19th. I am actually talking about a NEVER BEFORE SEEN or EXPERIENCED mythical archetype EXPLODING in the GRAND ARENA of INDIAN CINEMAS. It is a BATTLE between DAVID AND GOLIATH KGF 2’s GOlIATH like collections suddenly looked like a tiny DAVID in front of #Dhurandar ‘s GOLIATH collections. But now the sequel to that GOLIATH #Dhurandhar2 , is the new DAVID staring up at #Toxic, the fresh GOLIATH I strongly believe that #Dhuroxic is not about North against South, not Bollywood against Sandalwood. It is actually a brutal clash between two CULTURES , not of regions, but of cinema The principal difference between the two is that #Dhurandhar respects the audience’s intelligence and #Toxic presumes their dumbness. KGF 2 was a LOCAL film that aimed at the DUMBNESS in the MASSES and }Dhurandhar aimed at the INTELLIGENCE in the MASSES THAT is exactly why it became GLOBAL #Dhurandhar a reported 130 cr DAVID film (both versions together cost some 260 cr) hit some 1500 cr, proving that the so called MASSES are actually far more INTELLIGENT than what the MASALA MERCHANTS ever imagined. It is IMPORTANT to note that @AdityaDharFilms never once presumed the audience was dumb, but after the film released, the MASSES answered in a thundering, earth-shaking voice: “YES, WE ARE ACTUALLY THAT INTELLIGENT… THANK YOU FOR NOTICING.” So on March 19th, when the lights in the theatres go down across the world, two DAVIDS and two GOLIATHS will be fighting a BATTLE The fight will be between these 10 SAVAGE brutal truths 1. Mindless hero worship VERSUS the audience themselves discovering heroes through their moral actions in the story 2. GRAVITY defying stunts that mock physics and insult every school kid whoever studied NEWTON ,VERSUS the #Dhurandhar action so raw and real one actually feels the punches 3. Background scores that scream “CLAP AND WHISTLE NOW, YOU IDIOTS” every five minutes VERSUS dead silence that lets brilliant performances do the TALKING 4. 700 cr spent to make ONE guy look like an invincible God versus 130 cr spent to make EVERY character in #Dhurandhar feel equally human 5. Treating AUDIENCES like dumb idiots who must clap and whistle on every CUE versus treating them like adults who can follow a complex plot, make their own judgements and don’t need to be spoon fed by EAR SHATTERING background music 6. Ultra slow motion hero entry shots and flying hair straight out of a shampoo ad VERSUS cold, calculating intelligence that actually challenges the viewer 7. Reducing Indian cinema to a mass-hero worship ritual VERSUS cinema that excavates the intelligence hidden inside the masses minds 8. Vulgar budgets blown on VFX fireworks, eyesore sets and stars just to hide creative vaccum VERSUS every single rupee in #Dhurandhar spent on crafting lethal, immersive emotions that stay with you forever 9. A film that begs the audience to switch their brains off to enjoy it versus a film forcing you to think, feel and question every frame MONEY being POURED versus MONEY being PUT TO USE DISCLAIMER: NO, it is not my love for @AdityaDharFilms which made me write this, but it is my HOPE for INDIAN CINEMA. I am waiting with bated breath for MARCH 19th to know if INDIA is DHURANDHAR or TOXIC. 🙏

@prempanicker In Andhra of 90s and 2000s, no matter how bad and biased the main pages were, the sports pages had some very sharp and informative writing.

The sports page once told us who we were. I wrote about what we lose as it disappears, and why that loss matters more than we think. New piece, now up. open.substack.com/pub/prempanick…

@Ram_Guha Please send one to Deputy CM, also Environment Minister @PawanKalyan

@RGVzoomin Consideration is to restrict Social Media, not the Internet. Mental health, productivity, physical interactions and outdoor play are the concerns with the domination of endless scrolling Vs searching for information and seeking knowledge. Read " The Anxious Generation" by J Haidt

BAN THE BANNERS The core problem with banning social media to protect children under 16 from so called offensive content also will handicap them in today’s hyper competitive global information economy. It’s foolish to think social media is just a frivolous distraction because in today’s times , it’s the primary pipeline for real time knowledge, skills, and networks that determine who gets ahead. Kids in countries without bans will gain constant exposure to cutting edge learning resources like YouTube tutorials, Reddit threads, TikTok explainers, and global forums that teach coding, languages, entrepreneurship, science, and current events faster and more engagingly than traditional classrooms. Instant access to diverse perspectives, breaking news, and opportunities that kids in restricted countries only encounter later, if at all, through much slower and curated channels will create a stark competitive inequality . A 14 year-old in a non banning country builds an intuitive mastery of information flows, builds online communities, experiments with ideas, and stays ahead of a counterpart in a banning country like Australia where the kids will miss the informal education, the discoveries, and the early digital social capital that will compound over time into better education outcomes, career edges, and innovative thinking. The “protection” rationale of banning sounds noble, but it ignores how the modern world actually works. Information speed is now a decisive factor in both personal and national success. Banning access will not eliminate risks .. it simply outsources the information advantage to children elsewhere, widening the very inequalities governments claim to care about. Kids will still encounter the world eventually, but those denied early, guided exposure risk entering it less prepared, less adaptable, and less informed than the unrestricted In an era where knowledge compounds exponentially online, these bans don’t safeguard childhood but they will create a generation of digital latecomers, structurally behind in the global race for ideas, skills, and opportunities. The countries that keep access open are effectively giving their youth a powerful head start. The “offensive content” excuse, while real in isolated cases, pales against the systemic cost of information deprivation in a competitive world . This should be a critical warning about trading long term capability for short term safety procedures .
