What will you do as a parent if your married daughter sends you such messages about harassment from her in-laws repeatedly every now and then? I'm sure all of you with daughters won't waste a second after receiving the first SOS message or call, and rescue her, but sadly, it doesn't happen so often in the offline world. Why?
These messages were sent by Twisha Sharma to her mother, a woman who allegedly died by suicide in Bhopal due to alleged harassment by her husband and in-laws. The girl was well-educated and from an accomplished family. Why didn't the parents act after the first call for help?
And mind you, I'm not blaming them for the outcome. The sole criminal responsibility for this alleged suicide lies only with the alleged harassers. I'm just pointing out the helpless social reality that many parents hesitate, delay, or keep hoping things will improve on their own, even families as well-educated and accomplished as Twisha's.
Just sad. High time parents realise that a divorced daughter is always better than a dead daughter.
BREAKING ⚠️
US Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s global tariffs as ‘unlawful’, 18% tariff on India is now ILLEGAL. Huge implications and billions in refunds likely ahead.
I got the invite to the gala with the Prime Minister, but got stuck in traffic getting back to the venue after I changed into gala attire (changed out of my jeans).
Would have been honored to attend. But after 4h in traffic was equally honored to sit down to really excellent room service at 11 pm 😂
On my VIP armor front, I apparently did have a table seating for the @PMOIndia summit dinner!
However, the magical email that allows me in wasn't sent..🤷♂️
Too bad I missed catching up with Raj Reddy. I did instead have a lovely dinner with my friend and his family, so all's well!
HUMILIATING: Donald Trump forces world leaders to stand on stage while embarrassing music blares in the background.
It is literally impossible for Donald Trump to avoid being a complete laughing stock on the world stage.
Can anyone help me understand what is this Lorem Ipsum and why it’s printed on this access card?🤨
This purple badge was given to special invitees for the plenary session at AI Impact summit today. One of the invited foreign delegate asked me to explain these important instructions.
No. It was on the back of Epstein Files and yes the AI summit isn’t particularly any epitome of how summits should be and that’s a different headline in itself.
Bill Gates pulled out of India's AI Impact Summit hours before his scheduled keynote address on February 19, dealing another blow to a flagship event already marred by organizational lapses, a robot bungle and delegate complaints over traffic disruptions https://t.co/XwS4Rap9om

Ponga Hariom Das claims that he go to all planets or solar system without a spacecraft. In fact, he says he usually meets aliens.
This is the MERIT they flaunt everyday.
Just got back from the @OfficialINDIAai Impact Summit in Delhi yesterday, and honestly, it left a really bad taste. I went as a researcher and someone building an AI startup for promoting Indian languages, really looking forward to Yann LeCun's 3.45 talk on world models in the research symposium. From 3 pm though, security just locked down every single entry for "VIP movement." They told us to walk all the way around the premises. I did it too, like a fool, sweating for 25 minutes, only to get to the hall and hear the exact same thing again: "Abhi VIP movement hai, entry band hai." People who were already inside the venue? I saw them get evacuated too to clear space for the VIPs.
And this wasn't even once. In the morning, when I was walking from Gate 7 to Gate 4, near Gate 5 everyone got stopped, made to turn back 100-150 meters and just stand there for 10-15 minutes because of another VIP movement. Both times, I felt like a third class citizen at an event that was supposed to be for people like me. Never felt so out of place and disrespected at anything AI related. The whole summit is, sorry was, meant for researchers, founders, builders who are grinding in the field every day. Instead we get treated like we don't matter, blocked for hours so some minister or official can pass through.
And don't get me wrong. There were a lot of good things too, the @Sarvam launches were gold (much love and respect to them) and I met amazing startups at the booths building so many good products, but overall it came across way more like a government PR show to tell the world "look, India is doing AI" than a real gathering FOR the AI community.
We have crazy good talent in AI here. If we ever want to be taken seriously on the global stage, we have to drop this VIP nonsense and start giving respect to the actual people doing the work. Not treat us like background noise.
The good thing is that I have understood which events I need to avoid from now on. The ones that actually care about the community over the photo ops are the only ones worth going to. I hope things will be better soon!
Made it to the summit and happy to report there’s some genuinely interesting work happening here. From tackling malnutrition to education assessments, focus on healthcare and farming. No grandstanding about global supremacy. But we are figuring out what Indians need, in their own languages. And that’s pretty good. Also pretty smooth getting in - no press pass, I had registered for a regular pass a while ago #IndiaAIImpactSummit2026

"Corona virus killed by sound vibrations produced by Thali or Ghanti: A potential hypothesis"
Its academic standards need scrutiny. They also had a faculty member write a “research paper” on how “taali and thaali” killed coronavirus. This robot scam isn’t the first time they’ve brought India shame. You’d worry for the students whose parents pay so much…
This guy from DD news 😆😆😆😆😆
Let’s not forget the great work and really good AI minds in the country.
DD + Galgotia may be a match made in heaven for the meme industry but lest we forget our real genius minds who have done some incredible work in this space.
People like Galgotias University "professor" Neha Singh are the face of "artificial" intelligence who make a fool of themselves and the entire country. Will talk about the absolute collapse of "cute little and naughty" DD News as India's public broadcaster in the next debate.
