Now the question is. Do we have his mind somewhere in the AI systems where we can ask Steve: How will the world look like in 10-30-50 years from now with AGI?

Love it! Great to have you back in the circuit. Oh wait, you never left :)

What a visionary! Respect!

Tried espresso martini with Quaffine, India’s first cold brew coffee liqueur and have been very happy with the results. Bunch of other cocktails to be mixed - will share recipes. This one is simple and is on their bottle ;) Espresso shot + 60 ml of Quaffine shaken with ice.

@Priyuuu_20 Everyone must respect the DSP

Bangalores pay scale and its cost of living (+weather) make it the best city to live. Only if the corruption could be 10-20% less, best shot at becoming a global city. But then we can’t get everything in life :p #indiasdecade

@shantanugoel Babu has become a internet troll

Checking the calendar whether it's April 1st that we are being played for a fool given the government's apathy, or are they just so out of touch of reality?

@GabbbarSingh Dr Saab is hungry for followers. Needs the $$ looks like

A chess grandmaster, who won the Chess Olympiad twice to bring laurels to the country, shares an innocuous post, wishing his family. Doesn’t make any medicinal recos. Just acknowledges what the govt recognises too. In comes a rage baiter, telling his family is lying. Why be such a douche? Hilarious

@theliverdoc fighting misinformation? Then focus on that and not childlike banter with such useless long messages. Every minute spent doing it is taking time away from research and treating people. But then there’s the influencer route that helps with $$ so surely there must be a reason.

Hello, Vidit. I am not a fan of chess, but you are an important person for our country and I did not mean to offend your family. I am sure they are good people. I was stating plain facts from a professional standpoint and I do not mince my words. You may call that ego or whatever, to console yourself, no problem. Your statement on Doctors Day claiming an Ayurveda practitioner, Homeopath, Cosmetologist and a Physiotherapist were doctors is wrong and I stand by my words. Doctors' Day in India marks both the birth and death anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, one of India's most revered physicians and a key figure in shaping the healthcare system. Ayurveda, Homeopathy, Cosmetology or Physiotherapy are not realistic clinical medicine or and their practitioners are not clinical physicians. Physiotherapy is a legit branch of healthcare (adjunct to clinical medicine), but the rest are just plain sham - especially Homeopathy, which is also known as N*zi Medicine because H*tler tried to integrate it with conventional medicine at the time. You got all worked up and started personally attacking me because you were ignorant of this fact. I do not need to keep an ego towards a chess GM or his family. You don't make me insecure and your family is of no concern to me from a professional standpoint. But what you claim them to be - has major public health consequence, because someone of your stature, being ignorant about science and health affects public perception of realistic healthcare and pseudoscientific practices. Your statements normalize pseudoscience and primitive therapies as healthcare practices when they are not. They are alternative medicine. And alternative medicine is medicine that is not proven to work. Just like there is no alternative chemistry, alternative physics or alternative mathematics, alternative medicine is also not medicine. And its practitioners are not doctors. I am a certified internist with a doctorate in hepatology and liver transplant medicine with 260 peer reviewed scientific publications, 4400 citations and h-index of 30 (just for your information). You don't know me and how useful I am to my patients and their families. I suggest you do a bit of homework before throwing such childish tantrums. I am staying in my lane and always have. Calling out medical misinformation is what I do apart from being a full-time doctor. I suggest you stay in your lane and discuss more on chess. Sorry for the checkmate. And for a change, talk about chess and try being useful. All the best for your future matches.

@sandypuns_ Sir, aap hi toh bolte ho - whatever gives joy :) I think people do for kicks ..

I don’t understand credit card nerds. If you have earned enough to get yourself an HDFC Infinia/Burgundy Banking and the likes, isn’t your time value of money wasted in the silly excel calculations you do to save 250rs on a BookMyShow ticket?

@GabbbarSingh True but I think the other thing is peaking without a plan ( sudden event). Sportsmen peak early but they prepare themselves for years.

Peaking early in life isn’t always great, especially coz of stuff which are perishable in nature, like Looks. A 20 year old Shefali became an instant sensation, coz of the Kaanta laga Indie pop song. And the next 22 years were spent, somehow preserving that 20 year old Kaanta laga girl. Anti aging pills, cosmetic treatments, just to freeze time. It can never though. Most people have a linear curve of wealth & fame. The academic route. Start as a fresher, eventually rise up to become a Managing partner or a CEO, when you accumulate wealth & are known by people who you don’t know. You are at your peak in the 3rd quarter of life, by which time you have familial responsibilities to keep you distracted, even if you stagnate there, lesser chances of being depressed.

@Tejasvi_Surya This didn’t apply to your party 3 years ago? Just passing the parcel here every 4 years. Common man continues to suffer

Bengaluru is being strangled by a corrupt government that refuses to govern. The traffic crisis is worsening by the day, and the core reason is staring us in the face: the explosion of private vehicles. But instead of addressing this, the state government is fuelling it. Instead of building mass public transport, it has launched a war against it. At a time when every rupee of public money should be invested in making public transport more available, more affordable and more reliable, this government has done the opposite. It is punishing those who rely on public transport and actively incentivising more car and two-wheeler ownership. The state wants to spend ₹1 lakh crore to build 100 kilometres of new flyovers and 18 kilometres of tunnel roads - a gift wrapped package for the politician-contractor lobby. But here’s the punchline: more than 20 flyovers have been pending for close to eight years, lying incomplete across the city. Before even completing what it has already failed, the government wants to throw billions more at the same failure. This isn’t infrastructure building. This is an addiction to kickback-paying contracts. The ₹18,000 crore tunnel road is the peak of this madness — a vanity project that benefits only private cars while being a death sentence for the city’s public transport system. It will not serve the pedestrian, the cyclist, the commuter - it will serve only the cars, the SUVs. It won’t serve the common guy who uses the BMTC or the metro. While the government wants to build more roads, it is killing last mile connectivity. Carpooling, bike-sharing, and auto-sharing remain unsupported. It refuses to allow private players to run buses alongside BMTC, despite the overwhelming demand. Metro fares are being hiked unscientifically, pushing people away from mass transit instead of into it. Meanwhile, ridership in Metro is weakening. And the result? The roads are flooded with cars. A recent study by Bengaluru Traffic Police on Outer Ring Road found a 20% increase in vehicle numbers in just one year, resulting in a 125% increase in congestion. This is not sustainable. This will lead to a total collapse of the city. Every delay in Metro completion brings more cars onto the streets. Every step taken to weaken the bus system brings more two-wheelers into the chaos. Bengaluru already has more private vehicles than people. No other global city in our population bracket has done this because no other city has such a suicidal mobility policy. Let’s be clear: this government’s mobility policy is not citizen-centric. It is contractor-centric. It is not about moving people - it is about moving cars. This is a government in the grip of a politician-bureaucrat-contractor nexus, that would rather pour concrete than build a city that works. And who is paying the price? The nurse who takes the bus. The student who walks to the Metro. The delivery rider stuck in traffic. The poor and middle class of Bengaluru, who don’t own cars, but are cross-subsidising roads that are built exclusively for car owners. This is not just poor governance. It is structural injustice. This assault on Bengaluru must stop. Every rupee of public money must be redirected to public transport. That is the only globally proven solution to decongestion and cities with denser populations than ours have done it. What’s missing here is not technology or funds. What’s missing is political will. And that will won’t come from those in power. It must come from the people of Bengaluru. From those who are stuck in traffic and fed up of being lied to. From those who are tired of vanity projects and demand real mobility solutions. From a new generation of leadership that fights for commuters, not contractors. Bengaluru is choking. We can either demand change - or let this city be buried under its own traffic. Let’s tell loud and clear - Public Transport is our Fundamental Right. We need our government to provide it.

You realise the importance for suv or suv sized vehicle during monsoon and you realise the importance of an automatic transmission during 7:30pm commute in that monsoon.
