Never ever subscribe to @Pepperfry furniture. Once you buy from them, your mail box is flooded with their nonsense daily. Even after you unsubscribe, still they flood your mailbox. I am fed up with these people.
It’s a great study case for all how life changed for middle class of Telugu people during @ncbn garu earlier stint as combined AP state and now trying to reach out for tail end of the society using technology. His legendary actions will be recorded in history 🙏🏻
My public life has been shaped by one constant belief: development must ultimately improve the everyday lives of people. In the 1990s, that meant building a technology ecosystem and creating new opportunities for a changing economy. Today, one of my deepest priorities is more fundamental — ensuring that water reaches our farmers, especially those at the tail-end who have waited for decades. Whether it is pixels or pipes, the purpose remains the same: to solve problems, strengthen livelihoods and build a better future for every family in Andhra Pradesh.
Thank you, @shekhargupta and @ThePrintIndia, for capturing this journey.
Here's the truth he left me with:
"In years of doing this, the overwhelming majority of TVs I open don't need replacing. They need eight minutes of someone actually going into the settings menu, which almost nobody does after the initial setup screen."
7 settings. Under 10 minutes total. $0 spent. No new TV needed.
Before you spend $600+ on a replacement, run through this list first. Retailers will never walk you through this, because a "laggy TV" that gets fixed for free is a sale they don't get to make.
Save this thread before your next TV "dies" on you too.
A few years ago, I saw the Tamil film Vinodhaya Sitham on OTT.
If you liked Anbe Sivam and Meiyazhagan, you would most likely enjoy this film too.
It is directed by Samuthirakani.
Samuthirakani and Thambi Ramaiah play the two main roles, much as Kamal Haasan and Madhavan did in Anbe Sivam, and Arvind Swamy and Karthi in Meiyazhagan.
The essence of the film:
Ego makes us believe the world cannot run without us.
It can.
Work goes on. People choose their own lives. Time does not wait for our control. We are not the hinge everything turns on, and once we accept that, we can live more lightly with the time we actually have.
The film does not say one should become a saint.
Life is meant to be lived with all its joys and sorrows.
It is more nuanced.
Stop confusing control with care. Stop mistaking your anxiety for necessity. Live the days you have as if they were already borrowed, because they are.
@PTUshaOfficial Iconic photo jumping over hurdles. I used to bunk classes to see you sprinting on TV. It still echoes in my mind the craze in the community TV hall, when you are sprinting. Thanks for sharing
This is a must watch clip of a superstar, at his absolute lowest.
There is a lesson in maintaining composure and dignity in your conduct.
There is a reminder that when everything fails, go back to your core - in his case acting.
And there is a nudge that nobody is too big to ask for an opportunity.
Before most Indians had even heard of the Internet, a few people in Mumbai were already experimenting with it.
And one of them was Shammi Kapoor.
But the story also involves the Mafatlal family, dial-up modems and one of India’s earliest private websites.

@HospitalsOzone Medical facilities are good, got a good support for insurance.
Only negative in this hospital is lower staff keep on asking for tips. Even when patient is brought out of OPT, there is queue for tips. Very irritating. Management needs urgent look into it.
Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.

Your helpline customer support executive has taken lightly by saying it will not happen next time.
Hope you will take strict action. Also the person to deliver was kali Charan nakka, our society security was telling it was delivered by some other name
