Great news.

Government has heard it. Last year in July, I proposed this idea.

Now, news has come that 11,000+ restaurants in Ahmedabad will have to show live CCTV footage of their kitchens.

Good to see such ideas being taken seriously and turned into action.

I hope FSSAI makes this mandatory for all restaurants across India.

Need this in India too.

If this is possible for Rwanda, why not in India?

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.

Why is Ravindra Jadeja’s 2023 World Cup campaign not talked about enough? 👀🤷

120 runs at 40 average.
101.70 strike rate.
16 wickets at 4.25 economy.
8 unbeaten innings.

[Brainfaded @iRoshan_Rv]

Ravindra Jadeja deserves to reach 100 test appearances. It is looking complicated as of now but hope the board and management make it happen. Cricketers like him come once in a generation and his contribution to test cricket deserves this milestone.

[Selfless Cricket @SelflessCricket]

Runs in Test Cricket
• KL Rahul - 4270 | Avg. 36
• Ravindra Jadeja - 4117 | Avg. 37

Wickets in Test Cricket
• Ravindra Jadeja - 352
• Ishant Sharma - 311

Ravindra Jadeja was never appreciated enough for what he brought to Indian Test Team. 🫡

[The Forgotten ‘Man’ 👨‍⚖️ @SamSiff]

My post is now in the social media news.

Husband produces 92 videos and 237 photos of wife’s adultery to stop maintenance.

Supreme Court response?
“Who took these pictures? Did they have authorisation?”

Suddenly the focus shifts from the adultery to how the husband collected proof.

If adultery can disqualify a wife from maintenance, a husband must have a practical way to prove it.

Otherwise the law becomes a one-way street.

🚨 Tukaram Mundhe : "Be it Chinese or Vada Pao or anything else, action is being taken.

We have prohibited the serving of food on newspapers.

Colours added to Chinese food have now come down.

I appeal to the people that if they find unsanitary conditions somewhere, complain and don't have food there"

=> Finally an officer who takes street food hygiene seriously. Tukaram Mundhe’s crackdown on newspapers and artificial colours is a big win for public health.

Clean food first 🔥

[Rahul Shivshankar @RShivshankar]

THE SYSTEM WILL MUZZLE INDIA’S FOOD POLICEMAN – TUKARAM MUNDHE. DON’T LET IT.
Tukaram Mundhe stands between us and a silently bubbling health crisis.
Had Tukaram Mundhe not stood up to the powerful 5-star, celebrity restaurant, corporate food chain and dark store lobby, we wouldn’t have known just how much unsafe and adulterated food can enter the food chain.
In case you’re wondering, Mundhe is the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Maharashtra. Over the past few weeks, his relentless drive against unhygienic food vendors has led to raids on restaurants, major food chains and 86 quick-commerce hubs. The raids have uncovered serious hygiene and food-safety violations. Four Domino’s and one Pizza Hut outlet were shut after FDA inspections found, among other things, grease residue, insect infestations and food products without proper expiry information.
Then came the dark stores. The FDA suspended 14 food licences linked to Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart outlets after inspections found violations including cockroaches and expired food.
In Maharashtra’s crackdown on milk adulteration, FDA inspections detected the dilution of milk with water and the manufacture of synthetic milk using urea, detergents and formalin.
In Pune, FDA raids seized suspected adulterated khoya, paneer, cheese analogue and ghee worth ₹47.36 lakh, with 35 samples sent for laboratory testing.
The food being delivered to your home for your kids can be sitting in a warehouse where cockroaches and rodents have access to it or might even be chemical food.
This is why what Tukaram Mundhe is doing matters.
But Mundhe is doing what Mundhe does best.
This 2005-batch Indian Administrative Service officer of the Maharashtra cadre, widely known as a strict, fearless and anti-corruption bureaucrat, is often dubbed a real-life “Singham”. This is a testament to his rigid adherence to rules, zero-tolerance approach to corruption and willingness to confront the system. But he has paid a big price.
Mundhe has been transferred 25 times in 21 years of service.
And there is now an apprehension that he might be muzzled once again.
Because the pushback has begun.
The courts have questioned the proportionality and procedure of some of the FDA’s actions. The Bombay High Court recently criticised the FDA over action against Cadila Pharmaceuticals, observing that it had effectively used a “sword to kill a mosquito” after the agency seized medicines worth ₹2.4 crore without prior notice. The FDA subsequently agreed to withdraw its orders and issue show-cause notices, allowing the company an opportunity to be heard.
In another case, the Bombay High Court directed the FDA to pay ₹5 lakh to a Pune dairy and sweet shop after its licence remained suspended despite the establishment subsequently achieving 98% compliance with food-safety requirements.
The courts are right to insist that regulators follow due process.
But here is the question the rest of us must ask:
Does due process mean going soft on food-safety violations?
Mundhe should not be above the law. But neither should the food industry. Don’t curb the man because he has had the temerity to enforce the law.
Instead, stand up for him because he is standing up for us.

She is Tollywood actress Faria Abdullah.

Faria attended the Bonalu celebrations at the Sri Mahankaleshwara Ammavari Temple in Miralam Mandi. She carried a Bonam and joined devotees in the festivities.

Her video at the temple went viral on social media. After that, a section of people from her own community started targeting her and called her a “Kafir.”

She then came on live and said, “Whoever is hating on me, whoever thinks that main galat jaa rahi hoon, kafir hoon, whatever you want to say, I wish well for you.”

There are Hindu politicians and Hindu actors who attend Iftar parties. They are never called Kafir or anything like that. At that time, we are taught lessons about secularism. So why is it not the same in this case? Because secularism in this country has been one-sided, is one-sided, and will always be one-sided.

1st photo, Singapore:
- An unclean peeler and few cockroaches were found at Yun Hai Yao Pte Ltd. The court fined the company S$7000, and licence suspended.

2nd photo, India:
- A few cockroaches were found inside the kitchen of Park Inn by Radisson. The FDA suspended its licence, and the company went to court.

Bombay High Court said:
"There was an insect on my desk, what can we do now? We are in India, we have to take a realistic stand."

This soft attitude is exactly why food safety in India is so bad.

Every food business and every big brand should live with one fear: If you fail basic hygiene standards and play with people's health, your licence can be suspended.

Public health is not a joke. Stop protecting brands. Start protecting people.

Today I learned about Anjali Gulate, the nurse at Cama Hospital during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, who not only saved 20 pregnant women but bravely identified Ajmal Kasab and testified against him in court.

Her testimony helped secure his conviction and death sentence.

The courage she showed in the face of unimaginable trauma deserves the highest respect. Salute to this incredible woman.

It also makes me wonder why are such unsung heroes rarely spoken about? We all know the name of the terrorist, but so few know the names of the ordinary people whose extraordinary courage helped deliver justice.

Stories like hers deserve to be told because they inspire generations and remind us what true bravery looks like.

A must-watch film! Bharat Bhagya Vidhata beautifully brings an untold story to life. Kangana @KanganaTeam you’ve done a wonderful job!🇮🇳
