“RTs ≠ endorsements”
@StarHealthIns I received only a generic response that maximum amount has been approved, not a reasoned response. You have not addressed why earlier approval showed non-payables as Rs.0 but revised letter shows Rs.30,326, nor why surgical trauma-care items and Rs.3,819 room deduction were treated as payable by patient. Please issue item-wise speaking order. Claim: CIR/2027/131130/0493401
@StarHealthIns Why was my cashless claim CIR/2027/131130/0493401 restricted to only Rs.96,861 against a final bill of Rs.3,13,214 without proper item-wise justification? Initial/final approval mentions “excess tariff/SOC” but no tariff basis is shared. Even after the hospital submitted clarification and requested reconsideration, the approval has been repeated for the same amount without providing any proper item-wise justification. Patient is a 5-year-old child admitted in serious Road Traffic Accident condition & underwent complex trauma emergency surgery with external fixators and rod implants. He was discharged on 30.06.2026, but we are still waiting at AIG Hospital, Hyderabad due to delay/non-enhancement of cashless approval. Please issue revised approval urgently. Is this what we deserve after paying premiums for years? @jagograhakjago@nch1915 FYI and action please.
@star_orm@StarHealthIns AIG is asking us to pay Rs.34,144 out of Rs.64,351 deductions. Surgical trauma-care/medically necessary items are treated as non-payables, though earlier approval showed non-payables as Rs.0. Detailed email sent. Claim: CIR/2027/131130/0493401.
It is convenient to become an Aditya Dhar, Sudipto Sen or Vivek Agnihotri in a land where sympathy is a crime, empathy an offence and fraternity condemned.
It is equally difficult to remain a Diljit Dosanjh or Imtiyaz Ali and sing a ballad of peace. 🎶
Kudos to both. ✨ 🩵
There's a secret history of India's software exports that has been quietly buried.
It wasn't the IT giants that we know today who pioneered software service exports — government-run organisations like ASCI and CMC did it much before that.
In the 1970s, ASCI in Hyderabad began exporting software to Soviet bloc countries to earn foreign exchange to buy computer hardware. It sold software packages for "financial accounting, vehicle scheduling, classroom scheduling" and even "went to work at customer sites in Russia—what came to be known as onsite work" (Sharma, Dinesh C. Beyond Biryani: The Making of Globalised Hyderabad, Westland, Chennai, 2024, p.170).
In the 1980s, CMC (Computer Maintenance Corporation) — also from Hyderabad — developed various software for the government, especially the railways. Its success helped it win the contract to "develop scheduling and signalling of London Underground"(Op.cit., p.174)
Government-funded programmes helped lay the foundation of the IT services industry in India. Many of the private companies that emerged in the 1980s came from this ecosystem and were started by people trained in these govt organisations.
Incidentally, the Tatas got full management control of CMC in 2001 and then merged it into TCS in 2004.
(I learnt most of this only in 2024 when I was asked to review @dineshcsharma's book Beyond Biryani. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of Indian tech)
Why should Muslims be given reservations in Telangana?
Time and again, an argument is given that reservation based on religion is not permissible under the constitution.
I agree to this,that constitution does not permit reservations based on religion alone but a caste within a religion is socially and educationally backward, then they should be provided reservations under OBCs.
Telangana survey has given some light to the overall backwardness index of Muslims in the state.
The survey computed a Composite Backwardness Index (CBI) for all 242 castes based on 44 parameters.
More the CBI more the backwardness.
Average CBI for all castes is 81
So caste which have higher than this are all backward. But if they have 100+ then they are extremely backward.
Now most of the Muslims are extremely backward with CBI above 100 and 90. Except for Guddi, Hajam, Siddi, all other Muslims castes are extremely backward.
Now in Telangana most of the Muslims castes have highest backwardness or significant backwardness.

Shiraz. The city of Saadi and Hafez.
A place where Tagore once lingered and wrote, drawn by the fragrance of Persian poetry and memory.
Persian wisdom carries a sombre proverb: when the fire spreads, the dry wood and the green wood burn together. The innocent and the guilty perish in the same blaze.
I think of Persepolis — the great capital of the Achaemenids — burned by Alexander more than two thousand years ago. Empires rise, destroy, and pass. Yet Persian civilisation endured: in poetry, language, music, and memory.
From Babylonia and Mesopotamia to the Indus, these lands carry humanity’s earliest chapters. They are not merely territory. They are the archives of civilisation.
Saadi wrote that humanity is “one body.”
Hafez warned that the pride of kings passes like dust.
And Yeats, in another age of turmoil, sensed the widening gyre — a moment when the centre struggles to hold.
Powerful states speak today of deterrence and strategy. History speaks in a quieter, sobering voice.
It reminds us that when war spreads across landscapes layered with millennia of memory, the flames do not distinguish between soldiers and children, between stone and story.
And so the old Persian warning returns:
when the fire spreads, the dry and the wet burn together.
