This is the opposite this country needs. 24x7 hours. And, shame on these people for destroying whatever that is left of this country.

What a fall of so-called Vishwaguru. A guru who cannot even let his citizens spend their own hard earned money.

[Indian Tech & Infra @IndianTechGuide]

@R_N_Vaghani That was actually MA in "Entire" political science 😭.

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

After him being 23+ years in power, people are still wondering! 23 years is a multiple lifetimes to truly know any person.

[Dr.MysticShoo @mystic_shoo]

📍I really wonder what is wrong with our PM !

📍The nation is plagued by so many problems - Manipur is burning , economy is crumbling, unemployment on a rampage and inflation is soaring…..!!

📍But he dances in tea estates , goes boating in rivers and visits temples with cameras surrounding - always a huge PR stunt with ONLY him in the frame surrounded by cameramen on all directions !!!!!

📍I feel so ashamed when I see the entire world ridicule , slight and pooh pooh our PM and dictate terms to him !!!

📍Indian media & Sanghis - completely oblivious to reality and keep projecting all these stunts and go woww !!

📍India is falling down drastically on all fronts & we are all left to watch this downfall with hands tied !

@prempanicker This is well known. Socrates penned it down nearly 2400 years ago in the "Doctor vs Sweet shop owner" analogy.

The sweet shop owner shall always win.

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

Well, Nehru died 62 years ago and few people still like to pull him in and criticize his policies.

[Ravi Handa @ravihanda]

As much as I like @zoo_bear I dislike it when he pulls up old quotes / tweets of people.

Views change. Opinions change.

It makes little sense to criticize something that someone said 12 YEARS AGO!

(Not defending Tejasvi. Can't say what I truly feel about him because I am afraid of consequences.)

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

Cast was never the problem. MCU phase 1 proved it. It is always the script and subsequent direction constrained by a bad script is the problem.

If they need to find that out by paying $200M, then Mackenzie could have validated it for a fraction of that!

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Disney paid roughly $200 million just for Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo Brothers to come back. That's before a single frame of film was shot. Before sets, VFX, marketing, craft services, anything.

The test screening results suggest that $200M bet is about to pay off at somewhere between 10x and 25x.

Here's why this leak matters more than the usual hype cycle. This is a pre-reshoots cut. The version that tested at Infinity War levels is the version before they add more characters, more cameos, more fan-service scenes. Reshoots on a film testing this well are additive, not corrective. That's a completely different production posture than what Marvel has been doing for the last five years.

The Russos' last two Avengers films did $4.85 billion combined. Infinity War alone cleared $2.05B. Endgame hit $2.8B. The entire Multiverse Saga since then has been a slow bleed of audience trust. Quantumania did $476M on a $200M budget. The Marvels did $206M. Eternals, $402M. Marvel was losing casual viewers at a rate that made the franchise look terminal.

The Downey/Russo reunion was always the play of last resort. Downey literally refused to return unless the Russos directed. His deal includes private jets, a security detail, and a trailer compound. The Russos got $80M with escalators at $750M and $1B box office thresholds, plus their AGBO banner gets a producer credit, which is a first for Marvel.

And now the thing is testing like Infinity War before reshoots even happen.

If Doomsday clears $2B in December 2026, it validates something very specific: Marvel's problem was never the audience. The audience was always there. The problem was that Phase 4 and 5 shipped B-tier directors and C-tier scripts on A-tier IP. The fix wasn't reinventing the formula. The fix was paying for the best people and getting out of their way.

The Russos' performance escalators kick in at $750M and $1B. If this thing does Infinity War numbers, those escalators trigger so fast Disney's finance team won't finish the wire transfer before the second weekend.

Respected sir maybe there was a communication issue but the way I remmeber the last 3 questions of my cross examination this evening -
Do you feel remorse - No
Are you sorry about what you said- No
If you tender an unconditional apology this matter will be looked at differently - No I can’t as the apology would not be sincere. Also it would set a terrible precedent for other artists & their freedom.

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

@PoeticShivam Yes. He exactly thinks that!

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

@_amitbehere The one & the only good thing that came of them was this civil movement of Swachh Bharat. But it was doomed to fail. Nothing changed except for few toilets which are now used as anything but toilets.

And, then they have audacity to compare it to Gandhi's Dandi March 😭😭

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

Decade ago, Indians were told that Harvard doesn't matter, hard work does! And, now this 👇

Disclaimer: The one who said decade ago and the one saying now aren't the same. But it is amusing to see how Indians convince themselves in unusual ways. Truth's secondary!

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

Okay uncle!

[Hardeep Singh Puri @HardeepSPuri]

International crude prices have gone through the roof in the last 1 month from around 70 dollars/barrel to around 122 dollars/barrel. Consequently, petrol and diesel prices for consumers have gone up all over the world. Prices have increased by around 30%-50% in South East Asian countries, 30% in North American countries, 20% in Europe and 50% in African countries.

The Modi Government had two choices- either increase prices drastically for citizens of Bharat as all other nations have done or bear the brunt on its finances so that Indian citizen is insulated from international volatility.

Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji, in keeping with his Government’s commitment of last 4 years since the conflict in Russia-Ukraine started, decided to take a hit on its own finances again to safeguard the Indian citizen.

Government has taken a huge hit on it taxation revenues to ensure very high losses of oil companies (approximately 24 Rs/litre for petrol and 30 Rs/litre for diesel) at this time of sky high international prices are reduced. At the same time, export tax has been levied as international prices of petrol and diesel have skyrocketed and any refinery exporting to foreign nations will have to pay export tax. My gratitude to Hon’ble PM Narendra Modi Ji and Hon’ble FM @nsitharaman Ji for this very timely, bold and visionary decision!

Indians are hell bent on destroying whatever rational thinking is left...

The only dystopian solution is a disease that affects 140Cr. Either we vanish from the face of earth and let Pseudo-science wither with us.

[TheLiverDoc™ @theliverdoc]

Good morning. My day did not start well.
I received a distressing email from a young doctor.

"Dear Dr Abby,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent introduction of an MD program in Ayurveda (MD Ayurveda Manovigyan Evam Manasa Roga) at NIMHANS, an institution widely regarded as a premier center for evidence-based psychiatric and neuroscientific education.

Despite sending multiple emails to authorities including the National Medical Commission Chairman, Directorate of Medical Education Karnataka, Karnataka Medical Council, the Director and Dean of NIMHANS, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, and the Indian Medical Association, I have unfortunately not received any response yet.

This development raises serious concerns among practitioners of evidence-based medicine. Integrating fundamentally different systems of medicine, particularly within a premier national institute,risks blurring the line between scientifically validated practices and non-evidence-based approaches. If such initiatives continue unchecked, it may gradually influence other medical institutions across the country. I am particularly concerned about the apparent lack of response or intervention from the Indian Medical Association. As a representative body of modern medicine practitioners, IMA’s role in addressing such critical issues is essential.

I sincerely hope you will consider taking this matter forward and help safeguard the standards of evidence-based medical education in India.

Thank you."

Now, I cannot stop the Government from destroying what the scientific community has built over decades. It is easy for them to do this - to showcase nationalism, civilizational, traditional and cultural pride - to appeal to emotions of the people - to maintain a vote bank from a certain section of the population. But such acts slowly and steadily, erode scientific temperament and damage reputation of major institutions and demean/downgrade medical and research output from India. NIMHANS has always been a big target for pseudoscience infiltration and they are systematically taking over, in the name of integrative medicine.

I understand the active and current faculty and leadership at NIMHANS are castrated from voicing concerns, but I call out to the Alumni and the strong general medical bodies in Karnataka/India to prevent such courses from getting legitimacy in colleges of repute - because tomorrow, an Ayurvedic quack will proudly show a certificate of graduation from NIMHANS, similar to a DM or Mch graduate from the same institution. This is an insult to the scientific community who shed blood and tears to get into and complete gruelling training programs at NIMHANS.

Please tag the medical organizations who you think will have the balls to take this up. An MD course in Ayurveda should be isolated to All India Institute of Ayurveda and such third-rate institutions and not an institute of repute like NIMHANS.

As examples, I have attached excerpts from Ayurvedic teaching syllabus on "Ayurveda Psychiatry" and what these so-called "MD Ayurveda" graduates learn.

Tell me, is the promotion of this primitive, primal, inhumane, misogynistic, nauseating history of medicine past worth it?

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

@Isabelletkrause Doesn't that apply more to Bilbo? He actually held on to the ring for 60+ years.

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

The buck that starts at the very top and goes all the way down to every level without any stop in sight.

Glad, people now see the cost of "that" particular style of politics.

[signüll @signulll]

if you showed this chart to a typical economist like 20 years ago, they would've laughed you out of the room.

the right side of this is white collar jobs that were once worshipped. these jobs were comfortable, well paying, & came with societal status + recognition. your parents would’ve been proud of you.

now these are likely all set to be severely impacted in a shorter period of time than anyone likely ever thought of let alone projected. this is like ppl waiting on a beach enjoying the sun when a tsunami has already struck.

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

@agneevX @decode_dev Common fallacy. The internet by design is decentralized yet clustered by design. Your local provider is eventually gonna connect to some mainstream ISP like Jio or Airtel.

Local provider is about last-mile connectivity and not about true independence!

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

@ChadSigmaRizz @decode_dev Only three choices:
- Configure your devices to use Google or CloudFlare's DNS. Still prone to upstream issue.
- Fully switch to VPN. Easy but expensive.
- Setup your own DNS server so, your machine never ends up using your ISP DNS sserver. Cheap but needs expertise.

[Harshal Patil @mistyHarsh]

@ChadSigmaRizz @decode_dev I live in Maharashtra and my family has three connections from different providers. None of them support custom modems. In fact, it is so deeply integrated that they can control your model remotely - from restart to applying new configuration.
