2001. Mobs of goondas from a political party (IYKYK) ransacked the hospital I was working in, assaulted the staff, set it on fire, torched vehicles, and left critically ill patients to die after shutting down the electricity. Police escorted us shell-shocked doctors home in the morning after we were locked up in the ICU all night. I was on duty that night and scarred for life. My blood boils to see that 25 years later, nothing has changed. Why do kids even want to become doctors in this country?

“I will **** your mother outside.” With audio, here’s the FULL transcript of the language used by Shinde Sena Corporator Ramesh Mhatre and his goons at the KDMC Hospital on Monday. True worth of ‘laadki bahin’ to Shinde Sena.

62% of Indian resident doctors work more than 36 hours at a stretch. 86% report severe sleep deprivation. 97% earn less than an entry level civil servant. 76% are assaulted while on duty. We can call ourselves civilised only when we learn to treat our doctors like they treat us.

After Pearl Harbour on 7 th December 1941 the US persevered till they obtained the unconditional surrender of Japan in 1945. Post 9/11 the US chased the Al Qaeda and the Taliban to the gates of hell and back for twenty years including neutralising Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad in Pakistan in 2011 . From 2003 -13 the House of Saud fought a secret war inside Saudi Arabia against the Al Qaeda before driving the remnants to Yemen and other places in the Middle East . From 1999-2009 Russia fought a brutal campaign against Chechen separatists before finally triumphing. The fight against terror requires firmness and steadfastness and the national resolve to stay the course. How can people forget the Baisaran ( Pahalgam ) Massacre within 14 months ? And the countless similar atrocities perpetrated over the past four decades that were state sponsored by Pakistan. To some folks it seems that the misty eyed romanticism of a dialogue with Pakistan is far more important than the lives of innocent Indian Tourists who were identified on the basis of their faith and slaughtered in cold blood by terrorists who came from Pakistan. Which is that invisible hand that is incentivising the push for a pseudo normalisation with Pakistan without any verifiable guarantees that Pakistan will dismantle the Military- Jehadi Complex ( MJC) they have spawned over the past 55 years? indiatoday.in/amp/india/stor…

@vijayshekhar Two words "Business Continuity"... Rn llms are a shiny toy in enterprises...once they become pivotal to the orgs processes, having a soviergn model becomes critical. It's a long tail investment

To everyone. Yes India must have a sovereign model. What features are you seeking that you will switch from an open source model from non-indian company ? (I am sure you know that ultimate business model of a LLM is to have paid token buyers).

@anuragwho Big tech is making most of the capex on inference time infra so that people all over the world can use the models..not on training /building the model...India needs it's sovereign models doesn't need to necessarily spend so much capex on making the models available to the world..

There is a lot of chest thumping happening around this, claiming that India should also aim to build its own models, which just doesn't work. we are just nowhere capable of doing this today. Anthropic recently spoke about their new model called Mythos, which is setting a whole different benchmark on what a model should be, and it cost $10 billion to train that model. Reliance, which is our largest conglomerate in India, just did $10 billion of profit for the whole year. the big 4 tech all generate more than $100bn FCF. It is nonsensical to say that we should just pool in enough capital and make such a model happen! The Big 4s are spending $700 billion this year in capex for models. Even if we want to, there is no way for us to play in this game! What @NandanNilekani is saying is correct. We still have to have a meaningful role here in the capacity that is possible for us, where there is room for success for us, where we have the ability to solve our problems, train a massive population of our people into being AI-first, and that's where real value will emerge. Someday we will also have our models, but just to say today, maybe Infosys should invest and make it happen. India doesn't have that kind of money yet.
Nandan Nilekani@NandanNilekani

India doesn't need to lead the world in building the most advanced AI models. But it must lead in ensuring benefits of AI are widely shared. @rvenk and I have an op-ed in The @EconomicTimes economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/et-com…

Bitter Drops by 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐫 claim Ancient German roots, but the formula screams #Ayurveda herbs. The product is neither German Formulation, nor Ayurveda, nor Pharma. It is licensed as food under FSSAI, making tall claims via dangerous Ads. Such D2C products are riding a legal loop hole, that needs to be addressed. @moayush @AyushmanNHA @MoHFW_INDIA #ConsumerAwareness #namitathapar #bitterdrops #emcure

I’m completely stranded at Moscow airport… alone, helpless, and running out of hope. No one from @makemytripcare or @etihad is answering my desperate messages. Russia doesn’t accept Visa or Mastercard anymore. I have ZERO cash left. Not even for food or water. The Etihad ground staff is avoiding me more than my ex ever did — literally turning their faces away and telling me “just call customer care”… which has been busy for hours. I’m standing here like a beggar in my own nightmare. I don’t know how I’m going to get home. I’m scared. I feel abandoned by the very companies I trusted with my journey. My family is waiting and I can’t even tell them I’m safe. Please… if anyone from Etihad, MakeMyTrip, or even the Indian embassy sees this — HELP ME. And if you’re reading this, just one RT could save me. I’m begging. #StrandedInMoscow

Talking, rather abusing, on someone's back and that too on a public podcast platform is a sign of impotency in my view, especially, if such an act is done out of jealousy. X asking if Y (on the back, of course) has been to a place say A, to question Y's credibility though X has never been to A himself shows a Gaseous Clay kind of persona. Apparently, I have access to platforms that are much bigger than the platform from where such words were spoken and if I, too, come down to the same level, someone's moustaches will burn before falling off. But then I don't wrestle with pigs. To him, I would say this: I am aware that comments have been made about me by someone who once held seniority over me. I will not respond to him directly. Time has a way of reordering hierarchies, and professional progress does not always sit comfortably with those left behind by it. To my friends and colleagues who are disturbed by this behaviour: I value your support. But I do not intend to engage in backward glances. I prefer to let work, outcomes, and standing speak for themselves. Those who measure themselves by past rank often struggle to accept present reality. I remain focused on where I am going, not on who is speaking from where they have remained. (This post, however, has nothing to do with another one from the Elite Chandigarh Lobby; it is meant for someone whose reach through his own platform is sign of his Karma). #Cheers!

Perplexity just quietly dropped a 42-page internal guide on how they actually use AI at work. What I found most useful: → How they automate the small stuff. Email, meeting prep, research (all done by AI) → Using AI to amplify your curiosity, not replace it. → Their prompting playbook is simple, practical, and genuinely good. Comment “AI” and I’ll send it to you for free.
