[THE SKIN DOCTOR @theskindoctor13]

Heard a cabinet reshuffle is on the cards.

Requesting the PM to consider swapping the ministries of Shri Nitin Gadkari and Shri Dharmendra Pradhan.

Shri Gadkari has already done more than needed work in transport, so much so that there is virtually nothing left to be done. A man with such a Midas touch, and hunger to bring change even if it's not needed, is exactly what is required in the Education Ministry, where a massive overhaul is needed.

Meanwhile, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan can be transferred to the Transport Ministry. Since the heavy lifting there has already been completed, the ministry now requires someone who won't do much, will leave things exactly as they are, and won't experiment too much. Shri Pradhan, having done remarkably little in the Education Ministry, would be the ideal candidate for the job.

Just so you know:

A member of Norway's royal family is convicted for 4 rapes

Got just 4 yrs in jail for 4 rapes

More like 4 yr vacation in a luxury "jail" (resort) probably like this

Also linked to Jeffrey Epstein

But Norway's free press is busy asking questions to PM Modi!

Government investment toward Artificial Intelligence:

US govt: $7–10 billion per year
India govt: $1.25 billion over 5 years (IndiaAI Mission)

Ladli Behna budget for Maharashtra is $4.2 billion/year

One state freebie budget is THREE times the AI budget

Talk about priorities!

Who thinks that it's normal?
This is what Indian citizens have to face everytime they go outside.
The SC has explicitly stated that the right to life includes the right to live safely without the fear of stray dog att*cks.
So don't wait for miracles & end this Stray dog menace.💀

The Pashupati Seal. From Mohanjo-Daro.

Nearly 4,500 years old.
For a century, it refused to speak to us.

Then I came across the work of Dr. Rao (@yajnadevam).
During the COVID lockdown, this Indian computer scientist used cryptography to read what generations of scholars could not.

He compared it to the Mahabharat. Found 7 distinct alignments.

His conclusion: an ancient prayer to Lord Shiva, carved into a seal.

Our ancestors didn't just build cities. They recorded devotion.

The British often called it "mythology". But what if it's simply history told in a script we forgot to read?

“The Samarkand Syndrome: Why Babur and family never became ‘us’”!

I write for @IndiaToday arguing why Timurids (wrongly called Mughals) never saw Bharat as home. This essay dismantles the myth that they had become Indianised post Babur.

Very well said. I remember watching and re-watching Shakti precisely for this reason. One of the all the great movies where each actor just genuinely performed their best without any effort to outperform each other. The result is poetry in celluloid

[Amit T @amittalwalkar]

Shakti didn't feel like a film.
It felt like two acting schools staring each other down without blinking.

Dilip Kumar carried that old-world gravitas into every frame. Controlled voice, measured silences, emotional restraint so powerful it almost became intimidating. And opposite him was Amitabh Bachchan at peak volcano phase. Angry. Wounded. Burning from within even while standing still.

The beauty of Shakti was that neither man tried to "outperform" the other loudly.
The tension came from control.

One represented duty.
The other represented hurt.

And somewhere between them, the film kept tightening like a clenched fist.

Also imagine the atmosphere around that casting in 1982.
The reigning superstar of Hindi cinema sharing space with the man many already considered the greatest actor India had produced. Entire industry waiting to see who would dominate.

But that’s the fascinating part.
Nobody really won.

Because Shakti worked precisely due to that tug of war remaining unresolved till the very end. The father never softened completely. The son never healed completely.

And Hindi cinema got one of its most emotionally masculine confrontations ever filmed.
