@LitemedIndia are you a legitimate company selling real products or have we lost our money is having paid you over 6K in advance?

[Dr. Chennapragada (She/Her) @Jussri]

@LitemedIndia __ over the last 12 days discovered that this company is probably running a scam and promoting ads of a device that seniors seem to be getting many ads about! Been over 10 days, thousands of rupees charged. Product delivery is denied with random excuses/

@DTDCIndia @LitemedIndia So you can’t find that information from the pictures attached??? Go figure!!!

[Dr. Chennapragada (She/Her) @Jussri]

@letsblinkit or @ZeptoNow __ unless @LitemedIndia is running a scam, can you guys really help this company with its deliveries! Been loving your service in Hyderabad but @LitemedIndia (if legitimate) is really struggling, they could really use your help!

[Dr. Chennapragada (She/Her) @Jussri]

@LitemedIndia _ you cannot push a product primarily to reach the social media of senior citizens who are experiencing pains, entice them into these marketing gimmicks that the product works and keep their money blocked. This looks clearly like a scam!/

[Dr. Chennapragada (She/Her) @Jussri]

@LitemedIndia when you want to aggressively push for sales, be prepared to do it efficiently. Unless you want to take the money in advance and not give the product so that you can use the money for you own purposes. /

[Dr. Chennapragada (She/Her) @Jussri]

Easy to write such posts.
It is not easy to survive a life here while wanting to serve in teaching or non-IT professions unless someone pays all your bills. This is privileged few churning tone deaf texts.

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:

Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.

Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.

You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.

Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.

Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.

As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.

Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu

Punish the deserving, because the undeserving misused the benefits.

Did anyone identify and punish the undeserving and those who helped them in circumventing the system?

[Gaurav Dutta @dgaurav7]

I wonder who was the petty, vile and small minded person in the @FinMinIndia who suggested to @nsitharaman that Indian economy can only be saved by taxing the smallest of relief given to a soldier with a disability acquired during the course of his service to the Nation.
A disability that will continue to have implications for the person. Worsen over time and make daily life more difficult with increasing age.
@rashtrapatibhvn should confer the person with a well deserved a Bharat Ratna for saving the economy of India.

You have not visited Hyderabad restaurants on weekday afternoons! Fish markets have their organized yelling!! These are worst! They mostly come from one certain demographic too

[Gaurav Dutta @dgaurav7]

Went to a nice Pan Asian restaurant in Indiranagar, Bangalore for lunch with Mrs Boss yesterday. A group of about 12+ women from well-to-do families were having a birthday party. Schoolmates & friends from La Martinere, Lovedale, et al. Turned that place into a fish market. What should've been a nice lunch became an ordeal. So, literacy has nothing to do with public behaviour.

[Dr. Chennapragada (She/Her) @Jussri]

@dgaurav7 @ManipalHealth 18k for this is too expensive sir. And with the delayed report it’s more unfair!

[Larry Cook @stopvaccinating]

In 2017 my left eye had a sudden black curtain (no sight). After a couple referrals to eye doctors didn’t pan out, I took to Yelp to find someone who could help me, and I found Dr. Murthy. Got in the next morning and he said I had a retina detachment and that I needed emergency surgery later in the day.

WHOA!!!

Dr. Murthy reattached four parts of my retina and fixed a buckle - one of the most complicated surgeries he has performed.

During my many follow up visits I learned that he had watched 10X more surgeries during residency than the average retina surgeon, had perfected getting in and out of the eye in about half the time as other surgeons, had perfected a laser technique so that not too much scab was created which could cause failure later, and also learned that patients come to him when other surgeons botched the reattachment surgeries.

In other words, he’s a top surgeon, who I found on Yelp.

Since 2019 I’ve been going once per year to see him for follow up.

Each time, everything looks excellent, including a tear he fixed with a laser in my right eye in 2018.

Today, 18 months after my last visit, I saw him again, and again, all is good!

I take photos every year - this photo is from today - and also update my Yelp review.

I am quite grateful that Dr. Murthy not only saved my eyesight, but that he takes his craft seriously enough that I have zero complications from his immaculate surgical efforts!

Indian Cricket Council is busy @icelandcricket — please wait 🤣

[Iceland Cricket @icelandcricket]

We still haven't heard back from @ICC. We thought we might have accidentally tagged the International Criminal Court, but turns out we did not. Maybe they reply by puffin post.

There cannot be a more accurate and succinct deep dive into what the real problem is. A huge thank you for bringing up universities. Now look int J-1 visas. That is another major labor violation pathway! Even human rights violations are quite common! The State Dept always knew!

[Hany Girgis @SanDiegoKnight]

If you want to understand H-1B abuse, stop looking at the visa.

Look at OPT, CPT, and the schools feeding the pipeline.

Here’s what almost no one wants to talk about:

• A majority of documented abuse over the last 15 years did not start with H-1B
• It started with OPT and Day 1 CPT
• And it flows through a small cluster of universities that function as visa mills

These schools aren’t foreign.
They’re American-run.

Yet in many cases, 80–90% of their graduate programs are composed of students from a handful of countries, funneled in through aggressive overseas recruiting networks.

Swipe 👇 The screenshots show how this pipeline actually operates.

The pattern looks like this:
1.Recruit students abroad through agents
2.Enroll them in low-visibility programs
3.Grant CPT immediately or near-immediately
https://t.co/285vBrG0dH them into consulting firms, body shops, or gig work
5.Cycle them into H-1B later

That’s not “high-skill immigration.”
That’s a labor pipeline.

And yes, there are syndicates involved:
• Overseas recruiters
• University partners
• Consulting firms
• And former immigration insiders who know how to keep paperwork technically compliant

This is why focusing only on H-1B misses the point.

By the time the H-1B shows up, the damage is already done.

If Congress wants to fix abuse, the solution isn’t louder slogans.
It’s scrutiny upstream.

OPT.
CPT.
University accountability.

That’s where the system actually breaks.

Explain the concept of being tone deaf within Indian sports 👇🏻 and yet you wonder why we struggle the way we do!!!!

Nothing stops the beautiful game! ⚽️

Saw some kids in Kerala playing with a ball made of trash. Their enthusiasm was so inspiring that I had to drop off a couple of real footballs for them. Keep kicking, this addiction is the best medicine for life.

@upasanakonidela — this entire debate is an excellent case material for someone to teach - narrative agenda setting, cause washing and crisis capitalism — you should stick to your lane of being a business woman which you are actually good at!

#News: At the Jantar Mantar protest against #AirPollution, a group of 70 concerned citizens collectively filed 70 Right to Information applications under Section 7(1) of the RTI Act, specifically invoking the ‘life and liberty’ provision that mandates public authorities to respond WITHIN 48 hours or risk financial penalty and disciplinary action.

By invoking the urgent life and liberty provision, the citizens have formally asserted that the hazardous and persistent air pollution in Delhi poses an immediate threat to their lives.

The RTIs seek critical information such as raw AQI data, real-time monitoring reports, details of pollution-control measures, utilisation of funds, enforcement actions, and compliance data. Access to this information is not academic. It will directly help citizens take immediate precautions to protect their health, especially as the government has repeatedly FAILED to control the toxic air. It will also enable residents to hold authorities accountable, participate meaningfully in decision-making, and save many more lives by demanding scientifically grounded and transparent action.

Of the 70 applications, 31 have been submitted to the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) yesterday evening, and the remaining applications have been filed with the Central Pollution Control Board (@CPCB_OFFICIAL) today morning.

This collective filing is an act of civic resistance. The citizens using the RTI Act as a tool for survival, asserting their #RightToBreathe clean air and demanding immediate governmental accountability.
