As everything slowly begins to sink-in, and after finally getting some sleep last night, I wanted to share a small personal note…✍️

The first call I made after Vikram-1 successfully reached orbit was to my Dad.

He is the man who made my journey possible—with dreams for me far bigger than the ones I had for myself, and by simply never giving up on me.

Until my 8th standard, I was a bad student. I scored 51 marks in Maths and even failed another subject. Back then, I could never have imagined that I would one day make it to an IIT—or have the privilege of contributing to India’s first privately developed rocket reaching orbit, making India only the third country in the world to achieve this.

When I called him after the launch, he just cried.

And cried.

He couldn’t speak a single word.

But I understood every word he couldn’t say.

I managed to hold back my tears when Vikram-1 reached orbit. But somehow, writing this, I can’t.

Thank you, Dad. ❤️

And a big shout-out to every dad who dreams big for their children—and never gives up on them. 🙏

P.S. A picture with Dad from one of my birthdays after starting @SkyrootA.

Indian men lose friendships only after marriage.

Something more disturbing happens:

Married men slowly become emotionally unavailable to everyone except responsibility.

@hd_kumaraswamy Namaste Kumaranna please increase the production of HMT Gandabherunda collection, shows product out of stock on website.

@Ateendriyo Sad and personal loss, woke up to see this news. I remember fondly that I borrowed Parvaa and Sarthaa from you during hostel days. It feels like an elder from our immediate family has passed away🙏😥

To GC middle class, please make sure have money & send ur kids outside for education and dont ask them to come back. This country’s politicians aren’t serious about ur future. They can play divide & rule game to endless denominator even if it means fuelling social chaos. A sane advice !

@USAndIndia Hi I am unable to collect passport from US embassy at Delhi. The front desk people asking token number and I am getting generic response emails to obtain any tracking information.

@gandabherunda Vs Acharya, jagannath rao joshi, DH shankaramurthy etc as you said so many people have built the party from scratch !

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@BijoyTelivala This is such a great advise “ don’t let someone tell you that things are not negotiable” wish someone advised me like this explicitly after my fellowship 😊 For fellows graduating “Things are always negotiable, know that your skills and experience is in demand always”

Ghost movie US release plan ideya? we have huge fan following group in North Carolina waiting to see Ghost in theaters!

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@BijoyTelivala @oncologician Totally agree and as the country grows economically we will be solving the issue of access to certain medications (for example Daratumumab and newer approvals) I am certainly proud of my Indian colleagues who practice state of art oncology with lesser resources.

@drbsvrj @thehawkeyex 🤣🤣dude! The ending is 🔥

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@darkandcrude Yes happens very often, even a mild slip of tongue words will boomerang upon us. I have learnt it the hard way and it also prevents a lot of needless gossip. Professional boundaries are going to be more important as we go into a future world of witch-hunting.

@BijoyTelivala Had a similar situation last month in a patient with aggressive stage IV lung ca and severe MR with heart failure, cardiologist wanted clearance for mitral clipping! No direct communication with oncologist ! 😥

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@BijoyTelivala @ParikhSimul Being a community oncologist is similar to a trench soldier, have to bear a lot of logistics brunt and also hear the sanctimonious lectures on management😅

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@BasanagoudaBJP Sir can you please request BJP library/ archives to release if any of the legendary speeches of Jagannath rao ji to public in YouTube or your website. Thank you for your nationalistic voice in Karnataka.

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@BijoyTelivala I voted other and I am scared of both 😅

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@loconte @uroegg What a horrifying experience! Feel sorry for this. Please take care of yourself and family Dr LoConte.

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@EshaKaul1 Totally agree with Dr. Kaul about copy-pasting notes. I would like to add another perspective the health sector industry and everyone prefers zombies who can be controlled easily, not a critical thinking doctor as you mentioned.

[Sunil Badami MD @badami6]

@BijoyTelivala My bet they want you to increase face to face patient care time 😎
