[Shefali Vaidya. 🇮🇳 @ShefVaidya]

Parijata blooms through the night and lets go before sunrise, asking for nothing in return. No clinging to the branch, no resistance to falling. It scatters itself on the ground like a blessing, making the world fragrant.

We should be like the Parijata flower, leave a place better than we found it while letting go. Parijata is the fragrance of my childhood, reminding me of a calmer, gentler time, when even going to school was a joyful experience!

Tell me in the replies, which flower carries a memory for you?

A final bell. A lifetime of service.

I only just came across this moving moment from Bishop Cotton Girls’ School in Bengaluru, nearly a year after it happened.

A school attendant, affectionately known as “Das Uncle,” was retiring after 38 years of service.

On his final day, he checked his watch and rang the large school bell one last time. The students counted every stroke & then erupted in cheers and applause, joined by their teachers.

The pride on his face & the depth of his bond with the school are unmistakable.

I was moved too.

When our schools nurture dignity and respect for everyone who serves their community, whatever their role, there is every reason to be optimistic about our future.

A mammogram missed her cousin's breast cancer. By the time it was found it was too late, and she died.

About 6 months later a second woman in the same family was diagnosed. She died as well.

The woman watching this happen was an artificial intelligence researcher.

Her name is Geetha Manjunath.

She grew up in Bengaluru. She took her bachelor's degree in computer science at UVCE, then a master's and a doctorate at the Indian Institute of Science, where she was a gold medallist.

Her first job was at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing, where she was part of the team that built India's first commercial supercomputer in the 1990s.

She spent 17 years at Hewlett Packard Labs as a principal research scientist. She then became a lab director at Xerox Research in India, heading their data analytics research.

Then the 2 deaths in her family happened, and she went and read about the disease.

What she found is worth knowing.

In India, roughly half the women diagnosed with breast cancer die of it. Her own words are blunt. Every alternate lady detected with breast cancer is dying.

The reason is almost never the treatment. It is that the disease is found too late.

Mammograms are the standard test. They use x-rays, they are expensive, they are uncomfortable, they need a large fixed machine, and there is a specific medical problem with them. In younger women the breast tissue is denser, and dense tissue and tumours both show up white on the scan. So the tumour can hide.

That is what happened to her cousin.

She started working on it in her spare time, on weekends, with a small team, while still employed.

The idea was to use thermal imaging instead. A cancer uses more energy than normal tissue and the blood flow around it increases, so the area is slightly warmer. A thermal camera can see that heat pattern from a distance, without touching the body and without any radiation.

The hard part is reading it. Heat patterns are messy. That is where her actual expertise came in. She trained machine learning software to interpret them.

Their first test was with a medical college in Manipal, using thermal images of 72 cancer patients.

It worked.

In 2016 she left her job and started a company with a former colleague, Nidhi Mathur. They called it Niramai, which stands for Non Invasive Risk Assessment with Machine Intelligence, and which in Sanskrit also means free from illness.

The test needs no radiation, no touch, no pain, and no one else in the room. It works on women of any age and any breast density. The equipment is portable, so it can be taken to villages.

More than 400,000 women have now been screened across over 250 locations in India. More than 2,000 cancers have been found.

The technology has regulatory clearance in the United States and in Europe. She holds 14 American patents.

She has one line she repeats.

Nobody needs to die of breast cancer, if you can catch it early enough.

PSU banks can write off 35,000 Crores.
Now, don't start the write off vs waive off argument.
I say that because you don't even have the right to know who were the defaulters.
You are there just to pay taxes so that these write offs and waive offs can be compensated.
Just do you national duty.
Go to work tomorrow and earn for them.

[Rajdeep Sardesai @sardesairajdeep]

I first met @AshutoshRanka two months ago, when the NEET paper leak controversy had just erupted, well before the CJP was formed. He had painstakingly compiled data on every major paper leak in India over the last two decades and sent it to me on WhatsApp. The research was meticulous and deeply impressive.

Little did I imagine that this same young engineering graduate would soon be sitting across the table from two Union ministers, negotiating on behalf of student protesters.

As he told me, he had never even been to Jantar Mantar before this. Ashutosh isn’t a professional agitator. He’s an idealistic young Indian who chose to act.

I interviewed him last night after the CJP-government talks. He looked exhausted, seemed unwell, but spoke with remarkable clarity and conviction.

If there’s one lesson from the last few weeks, it’s this: never underestimate the power of informed, idealistic youth. You don’t have to agree with everything Ashutosh says but cannot but admire his spirit. Watch: https://t.co/81PxIP0Izo

Even in a movie, a hero wait for the song to be over to become rich.

In stock market, people want to be richer quicker than that.
