There's a lot of chaos surrounding BTR by Dr. Zainab Vora. I've used BTR for the past year, both online and offline, and here are my thoughts. 1/n #NEETPG#MedTwitter
My dear friends, please, I hope to demand your absolute attention to this matter:
In 2018, my junior from St. John’s Medical College, Bengaluru, Dr. Randall Sequeira (middle in the pic), trekked up a steep, bauxite-rich plateau in Odisha to hold a monsoon health camp in the indigenous Kutiya Kondh village of Kutrumali.
In a piece he wrote then titled "Kutrumali’s Demons," Randall described sleeping under a dripping school roof in freezing fog, borrowing utensils from a local health worker to cook khichdi, and waking up at 6 AM to a line of tribal mothers. He wrote with heartbreak about treating malnourished toddlers with protruding bellies and visible ribs, listening to stories of stillbirths and chronic fevers, while noticing the shiny new solar lights installed by a mining conglomerate eyeing the aluminium ore beneath the villagers' feet.
Comparing his small medical team to hobbits sheltering in the night, Randall worried about the outside forces coming for that fragile village.
Randall stayed with the tribal/ adivasi community to serve them. After St. John’s and an MD in Internal Medicine from SMS Jaipur, he gave up every comfort of urban medicine to live in Kalahandi, recognizing that clinical prescriptions are meaningless when indigenous communities are stripped of their forests, water, and dignity.
On the night of October 16, Odisha police picked up Dr. Randall Sequeira and Dalit activist Laxman Naik at 11 PM from his home in Bhawanipatna. A gentle physician who has spent years trekking up hills to save tribal children is now locked in Rayagada sub-jail under frivolous but draconian charges (attempt to murder, dacoity), simply for standing with Adivasis peaceful protesting the mining of their sacred hills in Sijimali and Kutrumali.

Odisha Govt. said it will cut down forests to connect tribal villages. But it was a way to bypass green laws and fast track London based Vedanta’s, and Adani's mining plans. Local organisations estimate that around 45 villages depend on these hills and would be affected.

The state has answered with repression rather than dialogue. In the last three years, at least 43 police cases have been filed and over a hundred Adivasis and Dalits, both women and men, have been incarcerated in Odisha jails. For example, from In March and april 2026, 8, 2026, to April 8, 2026, within one month, 24 people were sent to jail, 217 were made accused, and the number of “others” total 1,140. An activist who was not named in the original FIRs, but has since been implicated in about 12 cases, so that bail in one case is followed by arrest in another. This pattern of capture and releases have been used to crush rational dissent.
Dr. Randall understood that being a good doctor means understanding that prescriptions cannot compensate for the denial of land rights, that surgery cannot undo displacement and that no medical can substitute for the basic infrastructure a government has failed to provide.

To my fellow medical fraternity, and every citizen with a conscience: a kind physician who embodies the highest ethics of our profession is being criminalized to clear the way for bauxite mining. Please do not let his voice be buried in a sub-jail.
Amplify this, demand due process, and demand the immediate release. Please sign in this form to show solidarity: https://t.co/cgLIoEXExG

- When he planned Part 2, I thought the story was going to be like a Mission: Impossible film.
- #MalavikaMohanan looks like Monica Bellucci. I saw her in Thangalaan, so seeing her in my film is really surprising to me.

your obsession should be realizing that time doesn’t care about you.
every day you waste, hesitate, overthink or delay… someone else is using that exact same 24 hours to get ahead of you. there is no pause button, no catch up season and no moment where life says “okay, now you can start for real.”
while your waiting to feel ready, to feel motivated or to feel certain… the clock is quietly taking everything from you and one day, it won’t be about potential or plans anymore, it’ll be about what you actually did and how much of it you let slip through your hands.
Neeya Naana - heartwarming to see such service oriented doctors. Most of them came from a simple background from small towns & villages & TN health care system gives them a platform to serve the society they came from. NEET is preventing that .
My girlfriend has a mole on her neck and one on her nose, her eyes are a shade like you've never seen before. She hates how she looks but I think she is the prettiest woman in the world. She hates how much she gets in exams, but I think it's enough and whatever she gets, I feel the proudest. She is always late to stuff by 10-15min, and she thinks I might get irritated by it, but it is one of the unique things I cherish about us. All these weird quirks make her something different and make me fall in love with her every single day. Sometimes she feels she is embarrassing me, but she is the thing I am the most proud of in my whole life. She laughs at my silly jokes and cute things and sometimes lets herself laugh hard enough to really enjoy it, but also occupies her time with studying, spending time with family, cute clothes she won't buy, jewelry she'll never buy, and tons and tons of dresses(imma buy all of them for her <3). She doesn't like change and loves to love the world, especially cute dogs and pizzas. She loves so hard she hurts herself at times and doesn't let me pick up the pieces, even though I always do it anyway. She's stubborn as a mule but as delicate as a flower, sad but never beaten. I love the way she understands what I'm trying to say without needing to hear me saying it, I love that she knows I mean well even if I can't formulate anything at all and mess up. She's probably the best thing that's happened to me, and I hope all the boyfriends can love their girlfriends in the way I love her.
