Day 1 of the AI Impact Summit turned to be a pain for us.
I came genuinely excited, it was the first time the summit was being hosted in India, and I wanted to show up personally to support the ecosystem and the government’s push.
But what happened next was shocking.
At 12 noon, security personnel arrived to sanitise and cordon off the area ahead of the visit by PM Modi visit at 2pm.
I explained that we’re building India’s first patented AI wearable at NeoSapien and requested a chance to showcase it.
One officer told others to let me stay, and they left.
Then another group came and ordered us to leave immediately. Seemed like there was lack of co-ordination between the security itself.
I asked: “Should we take our wearables?”
They said, others are leaving even laptops behind, security will take care.
Trusting them, I left. Hoping that the wearables will be safe, and If I am lucky, it might catch the eye of PM Modi.
Gates were closed from 12–6pm. Much much longer than expected.
Later we found out that our wearables were stolen.
Think about this: We paid for flights, accommodation, logistics and even the booth. Only to see our wearables disappear inside a high-security zone.
If only security and official entourage had access, how did this happen?
This is extremely disappointing.
He was 23 years old.
- He was the only earning member of his family.
- His mother is a single mother.
- On 3rd February, a Scorpio car running at full speed ran over his bike and killed him.
The Scorpio was driven by a 19-year-old boy who did not even have a license. Sources say he and his sister were making reels while driving.
एशिया कप के अंत तक आते-आते यह स्पष्ट हो गया है कि हम क्यों अहमदाबाद एयर क्रैश, RCB की भगदड़, दिल्ली के दंगे आदि सप्ताह भर में भूल जाते हैं। हमें हमारे नेता जानते हैं कि हमारा सारा ‘विरोध’ किसी एक फोटो या ट्वीट पर हवा हो जाएगा।
इसलिए, हमें पाकिस्तान से खेलना भी पड़ता है, खेल मंत्रालय का कुतर्क झेलना भी पड़ता है और पाकिस्तान जैसे नंगे देश को प्लेटफॉर्म दे कर, उनकी नग्नता को देखना भी पड़ता है।
पंद्रह दिन नहीं लगे हमें ‘हम एक भी मैच नहीं देखेंगे’ से ‘अरे इतना भी क्या विरोध करना, क्यों रोते रहते हो इतना’ लिखने में। पहले मैच में विरोध, दूसरे में विरोध की चर्चा भी नहीं, तीसरे में मैच देख कर जस्टिफिकेशन की पाकिस्तान को पेला जा रहा है।
हमारी सामूहिकता पाँच दिन नहीं चलती। यही एटीट्यूड हमें ‘चलता है यार’, ‘एक दिन से क्या हो जाता है’ आदि में राहत देने लगता है। हमारी नग्नता चार पैसों के आगे कैसे दिख जाती है, वो हमें अटारी बॉर्डर पर BSF के जवानों द्वारा कराए जाने वाले सर्कस में दिखता है। वह केवल इसलिए चालू हुआ क्योंकि उसकी अपनी एक इकॉनमी बन चुकी है।
जो लोग मरे, उसका बदला जब ‘ऑपरेशन सिंदूर’ में ले लिया गया, तो फिर क्रिकेट ही क्यों व्यापार आदि भी चालू कर देना चाहिए।
बात यह है कि जब आप भावनाओं को उत्तेजित करने के लिए ‘खून और पानी’ वाला संवाद बोलते हो तो बाद में क्रिकेट खेल कर, हाथ न मिलाने, जेस्चर बनाने, ट्रॉफी न लेने को ‘भावनाओं के बलात्कार’ की संज्ञा देने पर ज्ञान मत दो कि देशभक्ति क्या होती है।
तीनों मैच में जीत से यह पाप नहीं धुल जाता कि हमने एक आतंकी राष्ट्र को यूएन में आतंकी कहा, पूरी दुनिया में सांसदों के दल भेजे और कुछ पैसों के चक्कर में लीचड़ों की तरह, उन विधवाओं के अपमान के लिए उन्हें प्लेटफ़ॉर्म दिया।
आपको जीत की बधाई हो, मैं भी जीत से प्रसन्न हूँ, परंतु यह नकारापन असहनीय है।
All media channels, digital platforms and individuals are advised to refrain from live coverage or real-time reporting of defence operations and movement of security forces. Disclosure of such sensitive or source-based information may jeopardize operational effectiveness and endanger lives. Past incidents like the #KargilWar, 26/11 attacks, and the #Kandahar hijacking underscore the risks of premature reporting. As per clause 6(1)(p) of the Cable Television Networks (Amendment) Rules, 2021, only periodic briefings by designated officials are permitted during anti-terror operations. All stakeholders are urged to exercise vigilance, sensitivity, and responsibility in coverage, upholding the highest standards in the service of the nation. 🇮🇳

You need to watch it — it's a purely emotional yet logical take on the #PahalgamTerroristAttack.

Dear politicians of India, here is an opportunity for you. Find this girl. Talk to her family. Help her study what she wants. Make a statement. This discrimination against daughters should not be happening in 2025! The public will appreciate. It can at least change a few lives.
