I don't find much difference between tv stock analysts/trade advisors and weather news reporter. One says today hdfc bank will go up, tata motors will go down. Other says, today it will be mostly sunny in Chennai and rainy in some places of Mumbai.

News doing the rounds that John Arockiyasami and Vishnu reddy have been appointed as special advisors to the Hon Cm having cabinet berth protocol. Apparently both sides had reached out to the then PWD secretary Chiru IAS (1999 batch ) and demanded govt bungalow on par with what is given to the ministers on greenways road. The secretary requested them to give the GO for the said appointments so that he can proceed with the allocation. That single question was enough to transfer him immediately to highways department.

My question is ether it is John or Reddy. The Cm is well within his prerogative to ap point them as his advisors. . Why then shroud it in secrecy ? And why punish a bureaucrat who was only going about his job ?

Good morning! Just got to know this!

1/2 A whole government Ministry is unleashed on me - because I speak against unscientific practices and primitive traditional healthcare that can harm, I communicate scientific information for public and patients alike.

This was an official memo released during the Ministry of Ayush meeting on 12-6-2026 fully dedicated towards shutting down my social media presence.

Imagine - the people in this meeting were eating biscuits and drinking tea, paid for by the citizens of the country - to decide how to gag and shutdown a citizen doctor who educates people on medical science via social media.

Yesterday, my Instagram account was briefly hacked, but I got back control and removed unauthorized access within an hour.

The Article 51A(h) of the Indian Constitution outlines the fundamental duty of every citizen to develop a "scientific temper, humanism, and the spirit of inquiry and reform". Added during the 42nd Amendment in 1976, this non-justiciable directive promotes logical reasoning, critical thinking, and rationality.

The Ayush system is not scientific, it kills scientific temper, it does not promote the spirit of inquiry, it lacks logical reasoning, has the deadest version of critical thinking and none of its products and practices are rational.

The only thing that needs to be shut down, is an unscientific body like Ayush that goes against the Indian Constitution and wastes public tax money... and not me.

Also, please look closely at the person at the end, who is copied to, by the Ministry. His name is Vaidya K P Manikandan and he is the owner and founder of CNS Ayurveda Hospital, where children are treated for chronic conditions such as severe mental health disorders, autism and epilepsy (please see an official release from the hospital in the next post). One such victim of his was saved by my team (we reported it: https://t.co/eXeWt2n6N7) and he put a criminal defamation case against me and the authors (for publishing a scientific peer reviewed paper!) which was later "stayed" by the High Court of Kerala.

This has nothing to do with service to patients, but everything to do with protecting the business of alternative medicine (especially Ayurveda). These low life complaintants should be ashamed.

Depression in Indian men rarely looks like crying or sadness.

It looks like something else entirely.

After years of sitting across from men who "just came for stress" — here's what I've actually seen. 🧵

@livetime_fe The electric what? Some of my school mates, named one of the teacher as "alluthu araikuthu" for the way of walk. That was a time people were not aware of impact of body shaming.

Yet another #GSTHorror story.

A highly reputed business family running one of the most popular shops in a town for generations. Monthly turnover must be in crores. They get a notice for a tax demand for petty amount. A few thousands. They respond to the notice disputing the claim. The tax officer sends orders to the banks to freeze the businesses' bank account. The bank manager immediately calls up the family to inform them and helplessly tells they have no choice but to comply. The family is shell-shocked. The reputation they had built up over decades would be in tatters when their cheques don't get honoured. All for a few thousand rupees when they pay millions as GST every month. Shaken, they settle the demand.

Dear @nsitharaman @narendramodi this is the kind of tax terror that goes on in the name of GST - the 10th year of the Good and Simple Tax.

Few things to note:

- neither the bank manager nor the bizman knows whether the tax officer has the powers to do this.
- but that doesn't matter. It's the asymmetry in power and outcomes. Look at what the bizman gets to lose (and it is immediate) vs what the tax officer would lose (after a long drawn out process) if he is shown to have broken rules.

High time we curtail the discretionary powers of this parasitic, bloodsucking babudom. When is Modi going to get this?

@saravofcl All the 3 MP that TVK can elect to INC? Whoa, such a sweet deal for congress.

[venkateswaran @hareaswar]

@KasthuriShankar TVK can get 3 MP. DMK 2 and ADMK 1. TN has 6 MP so around 34 to 36 can fetch one MP. All three they have given to INC? Not even one seat for Trisha?

2 months ago, a buyer from Delhi came to our factory.

He walked through the entire setup, criticized whatever he could, and spoke like he was going to do big business with us.

He liked our product, asked for samples and full specs, and we shared everything without delay. We quoted INR 410 for 10,000 pieces, payment in cash.

Then the calls started. Not with clear decisions, but with small complaints about things that did not really matter. While we responded properly and took in whatever feedback we could, we also made it clear what we could change and what we could not.

Then came the haggling. He countered at INR 390. After some back and forth, he finally confirmed at INR 400.

He said “done,” asked for the PI, we sent it, and then he went completely silent for a week. No calls, no messages.

During that same time, all material costs went up.

Then suddenly, he called again and said he was ready to confirm, but now he wanted only 3,000 pieces and also asked for a 4% cash discount (even though the quotation was already based on cash), as if he was doing us a favor.

Work was slow and we had some stock, so after thinking it through, we agreed to a 1% discount and sent a revised PI.

Once again, silence.

After a few days, he said he was in China and claimed prices there were cheaper. I knew that was not true, so I simply wished him well and told him to buy from China.

But he came back again, saying he still wanted to buy from us. This time, he asked for a full cost breakdown including plastic, electronics, labor, packing, and our profit.

We work transparently, so we shared it.

Then he said our profit was too high and demanded that we reduce it. We told him cost is a fact, profit is our principle, and flatly refused.

He kept pushing. He asked for detailed molding costs like plastic rates, cycle time, burn loss, and labor.

That was the point where it was no longer about business. It was about control.

So instead of arguing, we calmly told him the goods were sold out.

He got livid, started shouting, and said we had no right to sell the goods since he had already “confirmed the order.”

I stayed calm, said sorry, and ended the conversation.

Now, even if he comes back ready to pay more, I will not supply to him. I have seen how these deals end. They always bring stress, delays, and problems.

Some business gives you money but takes away your peace. Over time, you learn it is better to do less business with the right people than chase more business with the wrong ones.

I would rather have fewer orders, better sleep, and a clear mind than deal with this kind of harassment.

@IOBIndia I have sent an email to customer care and it was sorted. Thanks.

@IOBIndia Called customer care. Asked to email [email protected]. email bounced. How would anybody use mobile data on laptop? What is the point of haviny vkyc if bank representative never joins. It is better if you say no digital only and ask people to visit branch 2/2

[venkateswaran @hareaswar]

@IOBIndia I tried ac opening yesterday from laptop. During vkyc, chat message came to use mobile data and disconnected conf. From yesterday trying to do vkyc from mobile browser multiple times, no bank representative joins even after several mins. 1/2
