Maharashtra FDA has suspended the FSSAI licences of five prominent Mumbai clubs after inspections reportedly found serious food safety and hygiene violations.

The clubs include:
• Cricket Club of India (CCI)
• RK Juhu Gymkhana
• Aparna Juhu Gymkhana
• MIG Cricket Club
• Willingdon Sports Club

The action follows a statewide inspection drive conducted between July 24 and 27. The licences will remain suspended until the deficiencies are rectified and the FDA is satisfied with compliance.

Bro, Mahindra,

The issue isn't whether your E20-"compliant" vehicles are fully ready for the transition. That's common sense, we don't need an official statement for that.

The real issue is whether your E20-"non-compliant" vehicles, i.e., all Mahindra vehicles manufactured before April 2023, are safe to run on E20 or not.

If they are safe, then why does the owner's manual for your vehicles manufactured before April 2023 explicitly warn owners not to use fuel with ethanol, stating that it can cause engine damage?

@ValueWithPrem @Mohitpareek_22 They can always look at the order history of restaurants and see the rise in the low value orders from previous months. If there is a sudden spike, it means worth investigating and analysing in depth!

Chamath just delivered the clearest diagnosis of what is happening to enterprise software and the OpenAI Deployment Company is the most damning piece of evidence he could have picked.

"The low end of the market is basically finished. There is no safe space."

90% of public SaaS stocks are down 30-80% from their 52 week highs, the median software stock is now negative over the last 3-6 months.

Goldman Sachs reported that software forward P/E multiples fell from 35x to 20x, the lowest absolute level since 2014 and the smallest premium to the S&P 500 since 2010.

The low end died first and fastest, because AI replaced it most directly.

The small business tools, the lightweight project managers, the single function SaaS products that charged $49 a month per seat, those are being replaced by AI agents that do the same work as a workflow, not a product.

You do not buy an AI powered tool, you describe what you need and it builds it and the seat based model that created the SaaS industry simply does not apply to that transaction.

But Chamath's more interesting argument is about the high end and the tell he points to is perfect.

OpenAI just raised $4 billion from 19 investors including TPG, Brookfield, Bain, and McKinsey to launch a consulting company and guaranteed those investors a 17.5% annual return to do it.

On $4 billion in committed capital, that is roughly $700 million per year in guaranteed payouts, owed by a company that is projected to lose $14 billion in 2026.

The goal of this venture is to compete directly with Deloitte, PwC, Ernst & Young, Andersen, and Cognizant.

Think about what that structure reveals.

OpenAI lost half of its enterprise LLM API market share from 50% to 25% between late 2023 and mid-2025, with Anthropic now leading at 32%.

Its response was not to build a better model but rather to raise $4 billion, offer guaranteed PE-tier returns and hire embedded engineers to physically sit inside client organizations and make AI actually work in production.

The reason, as Chamath identified, is that the high end of the market is not easy.

"It's not like boop boop boop, put in a prompt and beep bap boop, it all works," he said and the data confirms exactly that.

88% of organizations running AI agents reported a security incident in the past year, 42% of C-suite executives say AI adoption is creating internal organizational conflict.

The average enterprise AI consulting implementation costs $228,000 in year one versus $77,000 for platform-based approaches and most still stall before reaching production.

Anthropic immediately matched OpenAI with a competing $1.5 billion consulting venture backed by Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and Hellman & Friedman bringing the combined spend by the two leading AI labs on human powered enterprise deployment to $5.5 billion in a single month

Chamath's read is that the high end, the large enterprise platforms like Salesforce with proprietary data flywheels, Palantir with its FDE model already proven at scale, Oracle with vertical specific data moats will survive and consolidate.

The mid-market point solutions, the single function tools, the lightweight enterprise apps without defensible data assets, those are on the conveyor belt.

The AI industry is not just disrupting the companies that use software but rather disrupting the companies that sell it.

Dear @mipaltan

I feel lucky that a small account like mine'a voice potentially has reached the top management at MI and so as a genuine well wisher of MI I would be doing great disservice if I do not put forward my honest views now.

This is potentially my last twitter post on MI until I see a change and until I see them playing for the badge again. It is high time I look after my well being because being too passionate about your team also takes a lot out of you as a human.

This is not from an MI fan who got attracted to this franchise because Rohit Sharma won trophies with them. This is from a fan who has been with the team even when they failed in 13 out of 18 seasons and who will always be with them no matter what. This is from someone who supported a team that had fighters like James Franklin, Aiden Blizzard, Sarul Kanwar, Jayasuriya, Abu Nechim, Ambari Rayudu, Aditya Tare, Lendl Simmons, Mitch McClenaghan, etc. Was always there for support no matter where we finished.

You chose Hardik to replace Rohit, we supported.

You chose to release Pollard and then release his replacement Tim David too, we supported.

You chose to make blunders in decision making for past several seasons, we still supported.

You chose to go into IPL 2026 auction with almost no purse showing extra confidence on players like Deepak Chahar when you knew that those 9 crore would help us strengthen key areas, we still supported.

But we draw the line when players show from their body language that they don't really feel like playing for the badge and that it is all fun and games even if we lose..it is okay it is chill..nah sorry.

Same mistakes, no sensing of moments that could turn the game and not turning on the screws was again seen vs SRH. 243 had to be 270..and then when you took 3 wickets in 4 runs you had to try and knock over Klaasen. But again dropping shoulders in Powerplay and then post those 3 wickets..Bumrah looked so tired it hurt us all.

When you feel nothing can get worse than RCB loss, Punjab came, then CSK came, then SRH. The word fortress has become a joke for Wankhede.

When Rohit became the captain, no one knew how it would end up, but atleast he had the passion for the badge when he said "Teams should fear while coming to play MI at Wankhede." Yesterday I saw the same man holding his head in disappointment looking at what had happened to the Kingdom he built brick by brick..all this just hours before his birthday. Does someone who brought so much success to your franchise deserve this? Do your fans deserve this?

Even during 2022 Wooden spoon season we got so many special moments like defending 9 runs vs GT, that RCB post requesting us to beat DC, the rise of Tilak, Brevis and Tim David. We are not behind trophies we are behind making memories with players who know what playing for the badge means.

We have pivoted away from picking players who can fight for the badge, to now picking players who are just shiny toys, not caring about team and squad balance. We were never a side historically that depended on individual brilliance but that is exactly what happened last season when SKY's Orange Cap and Bumrah's purple patch covered all the cracks.

You will need to earn this fan back MI, not with results, just with the desire that the players want to play for the badge. Gave 19 years to this team and the support during 14 of them where we won nothing was equally passionate.

It is high time I look after myself and my health because maybe Sport was the only source of happiness for now. Very tough to weather the storms in life and then turn up supporting a team that does not know to play with passion.

I don't recognize my club anymore. Hope I do one day, hope this all changes one day. Will always bleed blue, but for now from a distance.

Can you win this fan back with your cricket? Can you make tough calls to take MI back to glory days? Time will tell. For now, it is a pause from my end.

-From a part of your dear Paltan 💙🙏🏻

My Review of the #Dhurandhars

My one line advise to all film students is “Leave your institutes and spend that money and time in #Dhurandhar2 theatres”

For all film students out there , here is what I studied of how , Aditya Dhar did not direct , but weaponized cinema itself.
Dhar fused raw visceral intensity with surgical precision, creating a film that feels like a live electric wire humming with tension and then exploding into cinematic brilliance
His techniques redefine the genre, blending Scorsese’s gritty realism with a Tarantino’s stylization, all while maintaining an iron grip on both pacing and hovering over emotional land scapes.

He seems to have given action director Aejaz Gulab total freedom with just one directive: “Think as brutally as you can. Kill in the most intense ways you can imagine.” and Aejaz shot extreme gore (torn limbs, burnt bodies, blood soaked incidents ), but Dhar reined it in the final cut for broader accessibility , but what still remains is ultra ferocious.. The 30+ minute climax, reportedly rehearsed for six days and shot over 14 with meticulous continuity , turns a masjid fight into a visceral symphony of debris, chains, and the deadliest kills imaginable

This isn’t mindless gore like the pre march 19 th 2026 films because in here , it serves character depth and theme elevation and Hamza/Jaskirat’s dual identity rocket fuels the tremendous fury, turning every punch, shot, and explosion into an extension of both national and personal rage .

Dhar blends practical effects, clever camerawork, and minimal VFX making the carnage feel dangerously real.

Dhar structures the film like a strategic dossier, dividing it into named chapters (e.g., “A Burnt Memory,” “Lucifer,” “Ghosts from the Past,” “Trial by Fire,” “Unknown Men,” “The Revenge,” “Dhurandhar”) each acting as a mini three act arc, giving the audience a clear “cognitive map” of escalating stakes. This technique prevents the massive runtime from feeling bloated and instead, it builds like a procedural intelligence operation as in setup, infiltration, detonation.

He opens with high stakes emotional anchors (personal tragedy fueling national duty), then shifts into mandatory planning sequences that feel as dramatic as the fast moving action.

No predictable flashbacks and information unfolds through sharp, razor edged dialogue and highly innovative montages. The result? A nearly four hour film that “never once distracts” and every chapter propels you forward with surprises, twists, and turbulent emotional undercurrents.

Dhar’s visual language is controlled and strategically indulgent. He favours gritty realism captured in handheld shots, using rustic/sepia toned palettes for Pakistan’s underbelly, saturated colors for dramatic spikes but layered in prestige cinema aesthetics (amber gold interiors, teal grey exteriors)

Heavy use of medium close ups and tight frames captures not only hyper masculinity, but also micro expressions, with smoldering intensity (especially in Ranveer’s eyes).
Low angles, shallow depth of field, and occasional high frame rate/shutter speed shots heighten the tension without disorienting us from the drama

@NalinisKitchen A restaurant doing 100 orders a day gets a possible boost to 300 or 500 orders a day! Without @zomato or @Swiggy how would you discover these restaurants without knowing about them?
So that access also comes at a price!

@parthpunter Its the civic sense of Indian fans and not @BCCI that's an issue!
In india no one would maintain the sanctity of the square unless 200 guards are deployed to protect it and despite that people would try finding ways to run on the pitch and take selfies!
