Sachin Tendulkar has not become God of cricket just like that. Looking at Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s reaction with SL clearly shows the difference. He needs to grow mentally. All focus and money obviously will make him fly (pun intended)..hopefully he improves…

@IndiGo6E I was on a flight from Chennai to Hyderabad. ETA 9.15PM. Due to the sudden downpour at Hyderabad airport, pilot had to take so many detours. Captain Arvind has been amazing along with his crew to land us safely 💐👏great work team.

@san_x_m An honour to share my Surname with this great man

[Sann @san_x_m]

His name was Yellapragada Subbarao.

He was born on January 12 1895 in Bhimavaram, in present-day Andhra Pradesh. His family was poor. Several of his siblings died young from disease.

He studied at Madras Medical College but his British professor deliberately gave him a lesser diploma instead of a full MBBS degree.

He scraped together enough money and sailed to America in 1923. He arrived in Boston with almost nothing.

To pay his fees at Harvard Medical School he worked as an attendant at a hospital, cleaning rooms and changing bedsheets at night. Colleagues called him the Indian who cleans toilets.

He did not stop.

At Harvard he began research with chemist Cyrus Fiske. Together they developed the Fiske-Subbarao method for measuring phosphorus in body fluids, still used in biochemistry today.

He then discovered the role of phosphocreatine and adenosine triphosphate in muscular activity. That discovery entered biochemistry textbooks worldwide.

It is what we now call ATP, the energy currency of every living cell.

Harvard denied him a full professorship. He was a foreigner and had few friends in the right circles.

His colleague Cyrus Fiske suppressed and destroyed many of his contributions out of jealousy. Years of Subbarao’s work had to be rediscovered by other scientists because Fiske would not let them be published.

He joined Lederle Laboratories instead. There he developed the first method to synthesise folic acid, Vitamin B9.

He showed it could treat megaloblastic anaemia and tropical sprue. He then helped develop methotrexate, one of the first chemotherapy drugs, still used today to treat cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.

He led the team that discovered Aureomycin, the first tetracycline antibiotic, more powerful than penicillin, which saved hundreds of thousands of lives during and after World War II.

He never became an American citizen. He lived in the United States for 25 years on a temporary visa. He applied for permanent residence and never received it.

On August 8 1948 he died of cardiac arrest in New York. He was 53 years old. No citizenship. No Nobel Prize. No fame.

A writer named Doron Antrim wrote this about him in 1950. “You have probably never heard of Dr. Yellapragada Subbarao. Yet because he lived, you may be alive today.”

The drug that treated your anaemia. The antibiotic that fought your infection. The chemotherapy that gave someone more time.

All of it traces back to a man from Bhimavaram who cleaned hospital rooms to pay his Harvard fees.

India forgot him. Science did not.

Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

Hindu Philosophy isn’t just belief… it’s a complete knowledge system.
From logic to meditation - everything was already mapped.

@rishibagree I do 😁

@linuxfoundation Wonderful event

[Dr Naresh Y V @docyvn]

@TechCrunch A definite try.

[Dr Naresh Y V @docyvn]

@TennetiKrshnaMP Sir it's great to see under your speakership Amaravathi's declaration has been done. Congratulations 🎉

[Dr Naresh Y V @docyvn]

@bhatnaturally Totally agree. The way I see it is that all these anushtanam's have come into being as there is a background to it. And there is a benefit which everyone can enjoy following them. Sad to see some ignoring these and do what they like. All Karma in my sense...🙏

[Dr Naresh Y V @docyvn]

@MindsetF28912 Lovely…!!

📍 Bengaluru, Brigade Utopia

Tarun Arora's pet dog urinated in an area designated for senior citizens' yoga activities regularly.
When the elders objected, he started assaulting them.
Elders repaid him.

The best part: the dog ran away and left his owner to get beaten up.

Day - 5

Meet Narsaiah garu from Kadtal.

He's a government employee.

From the past 20+ years, he gets up by 3:45am, takes bath and comes to the Ramalayam by 4:30am.

After reaching the temple, he plays the devotional songs in the mic.

He first sweeps and then cleans the entire Ramalayam premises with water.

He leaves by 6:30am, then goes on to his office.

When he was transferred to Karimnagar, instead of relocating himself to Karimnagar, he used to travel 100+100 kms every day but he didn't stop his service at the Ramalayam.

He does all this selflessly, without taking a single rupee or expecting any recognition. Instead, he spends more than ₹5k for the temple every month from his pocket.🧡

His life is dedicated to Prabhu Shree Ram 🙏🏻

It's a pleasure to meet such great people on my way to Ayodhya.

@anandmahindra Agreed. Makes sense too for such a region to project themselves.

[The Telugu Daily @TheTeluguDaily_]

The Hindu Dharma Prachara is actually happening in Andhra Pradesh.

From Christianisation of Andhra to Painting “Jai Shree Ram” on the walls, AP has come a long way.

The Change. The Need of the Hour.
