“Some stories should not be scrolled past. This is one of them.
Col Anurag Upadhyay scored in the 99th percentile in CAT. He could have chosen a corporate career. He chose the Indian Army instead.
He volunteered for the Special Forces, completed probation with 3 PARA (SF), and joined the raising team of 12 PARA (SF). Even after a heart attack in 2008, he returned to active duty.
In August 2025, he suffered a severe posterior circulation stroke. Today, he has Locked-in Syndrome. His body has been severely affected. His mind has not.
He is conscious and aware. He remembers. He thinks. Through eye movements and alphabet-based scanning, he communicates his thoughts. Further complications resulted in bilateral below-knee amputations.
This post is not asking for sympathy. It is asking for possibility.
His family knows what the medical literature says. They are not asking for promises. They believe no credible possibility should remain unexplored because the right expert was outside their network.
They seek connections to:
• Neurologists and neuro-rehabilitation specialists experienced in Locked-in Syndrome
• Rehabilitation centres focused on neurological recovery
• Researchers exploring recovery of movement, speech or other functions
• Research and emerging technologies, including brain-computer interfaces
• Eye-tracking and assistive technology that could give Anurag a more independent voice
• Veteran organisations or individuals who can open the right doors
Someone reading this may know a doctor who has treated a similar patient, a rehabilitation team that has seen a different outcome, a relevant researcher—or someone who can make the right introduction.
His prognosis should be determined by medicine and how his body responds—not by a lack of information, access or connections.
Please make a connection if you can. DM “Tales Of A Gypsy” on Instagram. If you cannot, share this until it reaches someone who can.
No sympathy. Just one question: What more is possible for Col Anurag ?
Let us help him find out”

Prayers 🙌For You- Brother Anurag ❤️
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
@AshwiniVaishnaw@Central_Railway Please look at the ground reality of AC Locals at Dombivli.
No visible RPF presence, virtually no TC checking inside AC Locals, and many passengers travelling without a valid AC ticket because they know enforcement is missing.
What is the fault of passengers who pay a hefty premium for an AC service?
On top of overcrowding, AC Locals are also running late, adding further inconvenience to passengers who are paying extra for a premium service. Genuine passengers should not be made to suffer because of poor enforcement.
Please ensure regular ticket checking and proper RPF presence, especially during peak hours. We pay for a premium service—not overcrowding, unchecked travel and delays.

The Ganguly brothers are a powerhouse of talent. Today morning I had shared a song of Kishore. Now I am sharing a song sung by his elder brother Ashok Kumar in the 1941 movie Jhoola.
Long before Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, and Mehmood performed the famous comedic battle, in Padosan, it was Kishore’s eldest brother, Ashok Kumar (Dadamoni), who originally sang and performed the first version of the song on-screen for the 1941 film Jhoola.
The original piece was composed by Saraswati Devi (born Khorshed Minocher-Homji), one of the first major female music directors in Indian cinema, working for the legendary studio Bombay Talkies.
The 1941 original version was never officially released on commercial gramophone audio records. It only existed inside the film print itself, making it a rare piece of archive cinema until clips surfaced online decades later.
Jhoola was historically significant for Ashok Kumar because it was the very first movie where he was billed as the solo, undisputed leading hero. Its massive box office success paved his path to becoming Indian cinema's first true superstar.

@mukeshvmakhija@Central_Railway@GM_CRly The concerns are unlimited but the willingness to address it is limited. Hope, someone pays heed to these concerns of ours.
@mukeshvmakhija@Central_Railway@GM_CRly AC train being late, overcrowding, ticketless travellers doesn’t matter to u. U seem to ignore the concerns big time. While introducing new train, u introduced it in the slot least required. 7.34 to 8.51 no AC train in kalyan. 8.54 Kalyan doesn’t have place for Kalyan people!!!!
Dear @Central_Railway@GM_CRly , while data on fines collected and revenue generated may be encouraging, the situation during morning peak hours tells a very different story.
AC locals are extremely overcrowded, with inadequate checking and enforcement inside the trains. Due to this overcrowding, services are running extremely late, with doors remaining open from Diva till Thane, creating serious inconvenience and safety concerns for passengers.
Later, posting a few photographs of relatively empty locals by @drmmumbaicr@srdcmmumbaicr does not reflect the actual experience of daily commuters during peak hours.
I respectfully request that the focus be on ground-level enforcement and passenger safety, rather than selective photographs or statistics.
We pay for a reliable, safe and comfortable railway service, and we deserve nothing less.
She is Ramabai Ranveer, a 47-year-old mother from Ambajogai in Maharashtra.
She works hard to support her family and her daughters’ education. After the death of her husband, the responsibility of raising and educating her two daughters fell on her shoulders.
When she heard about a local marathon called Amrit Daud, she decided to participate. The winner would receive Rs 3000. For many people, Rs 3000 may seem like a small amount.
But for a mother struggling to support her children’s dreams, that money meant something much bigger. It could help with education. It could help with fees. It could help her daughters move one step closer to their dreams.
She did not have proper running shoes, professional sportswear, or special training. But she had something much stronger than all of that....a dream for her daughters and the determination to make sure their education continued.
On the day of the race, she arrived wearing a simple saree and slippers. Around her were younger runners, many of them better prepared and wearing proper running shoes. But Ramabai was there with only one goal in her heart: to run for her daughters and their future.
As the race began, her slippers started causing problems and slowing her down. She could have stopped. She could have given up. But she didn’t. Instead, Ramabai removed her slippers, held them in her hands, and continued running barefoot.
Imagine that moment. A 47-year-old mother, running on the road without shoes, wearing a saree, competing against younger runners with proper running shoes. Every step must have been difficult, but the thought of her daughters and their education gave her the strength to keep moving forward.
And then, she did something truly incredible. Ramabai Ranveer crossed the finish line first and won the marathon. She won the Rs 3000 prize money that she had hoped to use to support her daughters’ education.
Respect to you, Ramabai Ji. There is no greater warrior than a mother.
Maharashtra govt should help fund her daughters’ education. When so many freebies and welfare schemes are being offered, why shouldn’t meaningful support be given to those who truly need it and are working hard to build a better future?
In a daring rescue mission at 18,600 ft near Nun Kun, Indian Army Aviation pilots evacuated a casualty from an extremely challenging slope with no landing space and strong winds.
With the helicopter lightened by removing non-essential equipment and carrying limited fuel, the aviators executed the evacuation with exceptional precision, courage and determination, including a critical landing with one skid touching the slope.
The mission, undertaken at the last available landing window of the day, stands as a testament to the skill, courage and compassion of Indian Army Aviation.

🚨 Tukaram Mundhe : "Be it Chinese or Vada Pao or anything else, action is being taken.
We have prohibited the serving of food on newspapers.
Colours added to Chinese food have now come down.
I appeal to the people that if they find unsanitary conditions somewhere, complain and don't have food there"
=> Finally an officer who takes street food hygiene seriously. Tukaram Mundhe’s crackdown on newspapers and artificial colours is a big win for public health.
Clean food first 🔥
Maharashtra shows the Way
Food safety is ultimately about people, not files, inspections or statistics.
Every safe meal is a family protected. Every action against unsafe food is a step towards protecting someone’s health, dignity and future.
Maharashtra’s experience reminds us that governance earns people’s trust when purpose is clear, action is fair, and compassion remains at the heart of enforcement.
Public service is, at its core, about standing with people; especially when they need the system most.

Our domestic help buys snacks from roadside street vendor in South Mumbai from last one week they don’t wrap food in Newspaper but in proper food grade wrapping
Never thought fear of one serious IAS Officer would bring so much change
Enjoy while it lasts, Tukaram Mundhe ✌🏻🤌🏻
Tukarama Mundhe suspended the licenses of many big brands for not maintaining food safety.
High Court: You're selective. You can't only target private properties. Tell your officers to inspect government canteens too. Be fair to all. Just because you have the power to suspend doesn't mean you'll suspend.
Next day,
Tukarama Mundhe and officers raided the High Court canteen.
BOLD. FAIR. FEARLESS.
This is Marathi medium school in some village in Maharashtra..
Ware guruji is the man behind this concept..
He has taken this initiative and with the help of locals they give best education to all the students..
His only aim is to give best education to these kids so that later they can be a part of the system and can change things which will help our country..
An ever-growing number of law-abiding, India-loving, working-class citizens who were once outraged by this kind of anarchy no longer feel anger. On the contrary, there's just calm.
They’ve accepted that the only option is to work hard and leave the country or, if they can't, work hard enough to ensure their children at least have the option to leave. Videos like this only strengthen their silent resolve.
He's Tukaram Mundhe, a 2005-batch IAS from Maharashtra.
Over the last few weeks, you might have heard his name. That is because he was recently appointed Commissioner of State’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since taking charge, the FDA has been on an absolute warpath, raiding illegal, fake, synthetic, and adulterated products. From synthetic milk networks and adulterated paneer to illegal gutkha and unhygienic eateries, nothing has escaped his radar.
Mundhe has made it clear that even the most famous names will not get a free pass. His department shocked Mumbai by suspending the food licenses of iconic establishments, such as the 73-year-old Marine Drive ice cream parlor K. Rustom & Co., alongside famous eateries like Shalimar Hospitality, Noor Mohammadi Hotel, and Rahmaniya Restaurant, after surprise inspections uncovered severe hygiene violations, including live pests and expired ingredients.
Such is the fear of his crackdowns that, just two days ago, dairy farmers were caught on video spilling hundreds of liters of synthetic milk after rumors of an impending FDA raid spread.
This is his 25th transfer in a 21-year career, a testament to his refusal to bend to political pressure. It makes you wonder: if just one IAS officer can bring about so much change, where would our country be if every bureaucrat were as uncompromising and proactive as him?
