Once Pataudi's shoulder popped out of its socket. The doc was a trying to wrench it back, causing him to howl. The doc remarked, "Look at the lady in the next room. She just delivered twins. Did you hear her scream even once?" Pataudi groaned, "Doctor, try putting them back in."

@Ayechalbey @GreaterNoidaW Older uncles strength was limited. Especially when the bigger ruffian started choking him. He could have given some sharp blows to the solar plexus though.

@SandeepUnnithan It’s quite revealing. Never knew the overt pak hand in it. Always associated D gang with it. With external support off course.

The 1993 Mumbai bombings which killed 267 Indians were an act of war - planned and resourced by Lt Gen Javed Nasir, then DG-ISI, in cahoots with his political masters.
The aim was to paralyse Mumbai in three stages-
a) serial bombings of VAs and VPs- stock exchange, hotels, airport.
b) gunmen storming govt buildings and killing elected officials.
c) restart communal riots where ISI-supplied Type-56 rifles and grenades were distributed in parts of the city.
The ISI used Dawood Ibrahim’s gang as foot soldiers.
The bigger tragedy of 1993 - the worst act of urban terror until 9/11- was that it was seen as a law and order problem - a communal problem- an underworld problem- books and stories were written about it by crime reporters who had spent their whole lives writing about Dawood.
This is also the trouble with X threads like this that don’t see the bigger picture- 1993 was the Pak Army’s first attack on India’s economic hub…it went unpunished and that opened the city up to two more major strikes by the Pak Army- in 2006 and 2008- killing over 350 more Mumbaikars…

@MaharajUdyyan @somnath1978 @avataram Which is the point. Indian sub continent is mostly densely populated since millennia because most of the places are arable and fertile.

I met him once boarding a plane. We were stuck in line and i was like "ok..say something..fk do it.. do it...do it" in my head..

He turns once glances at me... smiles and nods... like "yeah i know you know who i am.." and i just go quiet...then he glances back and just says "ask away..."

I did the usual "omfg love your work blah blah" and then he asked what I did and then just went into this rathole of how tech and creativity fascinate him and how people do things with computers and then we ended up talking about sheep properties and my life living in the outback... then he splintered off to his seat and mine..

Then we get to our destination, I get off and my wife is waiting for me with the kids and he gets off after me as he was ambushed with people wanting selfies... anyway I tell my wife "guess who's on the plane" and so she now wants to wait around, he then walks past us, nods at me and says "nice meeting you Scott" and continues..

The look my wife gave me at that point in time was like "WTF DID YOU DO.."

Anyway. All i remember was here's one guy who could have just waived me off took the time to chat about nothing and still somehow gave me the "you matter too" vibe.

Legend. Genuinely sad he's passed.
