Feeling incredibly grateful and humbled to become the first human to run from Kanyakumari to Karakoram. 🇮🇳
It feels surreal to create history by reaching the mighty Karakoram Pass at 18,000 ft after an unforgettable journey across India. 🏔️🏃🏻♀️
Successfully completed the Kanyakumari to Karakoram Run 5,000 km in 86 days and 2 hours.
One unforgettable journey across India, completed at the mighty Karakoram Pass. 🇮🇳
A special thank you to the Indian Army for your incredible support, guidance, and for granting the necessary permissions. Without your support, reaching Karakoram Pass and making this historic journey possible would not have been imaginable. I am deeply grateful for everything you have done.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone for all your love, prayers, and unwavering support. 🙏🏼🫶

The recent avalanche on the Broad Peak in POK region was widely reported due unfortunate death of multiple mountaineers including renowned Nirmal Purja aka Nims Dai.
World media constantly reported this incident happened in Pakistan and not POK, India.
The shocking part was reporting done by Indian media outlets. Media houses like @aajtak and @htTweets reported this incorrectly as PAK/ Pakistan and not POK, India.
These are some examples. There are many.

Apart from the steps listed in attached post, India needs to urgently enforce platforms to prominently label AI generated content.
In fact, there must be a new India AI Act passed this parliament session. AI is going to be that impactful to the country.
Right now all these platforms have the tech to identify AI generated content uploaded, both images or videos. So they must be mandated by law to label them as such.
Creators too, by law, need to disclose AI generated content in India. It must be their responsibility. The state must, by law, have the power to take down content that is deemed AI generated, but not declared.
This must be done urgently. Every day delay means one more day of fake AI content creating trouble in India. And when the emergency time comes, like riots, war, or insurrection, it will be too late to act.
I again request the GoI. As these protests are resolved, India must:
- Ban social media for under 13
- Moderate social media for under 18
- Regulate social media companies
- Mandate a reporting tool under every post to GoI
- Setup a SM/M monitoring & response cell
- Study & research social media trends & Algo
- Take up propaganda on state media with countries
- Take up anti-Indian SM psyops with partners
- Monitor and control "finfluencers" farms
- Start units that can counter the infowar on India
And I hope India is using the current opportunity to study social media operations, organization, and algorithmic warfare of the adversaries on India.
To take the right corrective measures soon, understanding that adversaries and anti-india cabal have infiltrated SM companies with insiders.
So simple ad-hoc solutions like MPs, or even cyber armies, posting our narrative on Insta now is going to solve little, as algorithm will still suppress one side and amplify the other.

Shivani, I have to say this first… you’re such an incredible writer. ❤️ I genuinely love reading everything you write.
Also… getting Datta to talk this much genuinely feels like an achievement. 😂 He’s usually the one asking all the questions, never answering them.
The recovery experiments at home are all true too. 😭 @deepigoyal got him sold on an inversion table after reading and testing a thesis while building Temple. Another dear friend convinced him that red-light therapy was the answer. Then, one fine morning, a temperature-controlled mattress magically appeared. Tart cherry juice became compulsory before bed. Recovery boots. Breathing drills. Cryotherapy. At this point I don’t even ask questions anymore… I just say, “Okay… what’s today’s experiment?” 😂 His latest obsession is somehow finding a hyperbaric chamber. I made the mistake of looking it up… and it’s literally a giant metal tube. 😭 Strangely enough, a lot of these bizarre things are actually starting to make sense.
As romantic as it sounds that I spend hours watching films with my husband… I should clarify they’re badminton films. 😭 His team cuts footage from the last five years into endless clips, and we sit there watching them over and over again. So no… not exactly The Notebook. 😂
One thing I’ll always be grateful for, though, is Virat bhai. I reached out to him at one of the lowest points of my career. Injuries were piling up, the results weren’t coming, and I just needed someone who understood. He replied within minutes, and we met the very next day.
What we spoke about will always stay between us. But I’ll always be grateful that when I needed someone, he was there. He didn’t say much, but every word stayed with Datta and me. Some conversations change the way you see things. That was one of them. ❤️
The biggest thing I took away was the importance of finding your joy again.
Today, I know exactly why I wake up for those 5:30 a.m. sessions.
And I can honestly say… it isn’t the trophies.
It isn’t the wins. It’s something much deeper.
And this time, I’ll protect it with everything I have. ❤️
What we are seeing is IBM post binary combinatorial encoding of "Happy National AI Day."
Over 2,300 years ago, in his work Chandashastra, the Indian scholar Acharya Pingala developed a systematic binary method to classify and enumerate Sanskrit poetic meters. He divided syllables into two categories:
Laghu (light) - mapped to 0
Guru (heavy) - mapped to 1
And it represents the earliest known explicit use of binary combinatorial encoding. 2000+ years later, Boole, after whom 'Boolean logic' is named, created a similar system and logic using 1 and 0.
Interesting to note that his wife, Mary Everest Boole, explicitly claimed that he and Charles Babbage got their ideas from Indian logic in her work "Indian thought and western science in nineteenth century."
But his possible knowledge of Indian works on logic and linguistics is denied now completely as "only his wife claimed, we don't have any evidence he read Indian works."
Anyway, what you see here and what is being used now as the Binary system and encoding (running much of computing) was already in use 2300 years ago in India.
Btw, Mary Everest Boole is niece of George Everest, the guy after whom Sagarmatha is named by westerners as their own discovery - like Victoria Falls and the Americas were said to be 'discovered' 10s of thousands of years after Africans and Native Americans :)
Listen to the great nation builder Lee Kuan Yew. Don't let communists & anarchists shake political confidence, create protests & riots, and turn our companies & capitalists' names into dirty words. Or we will fail with our country and suffer. India already suffered for 50 years.

My analysis based on what I am seeing:
> I am all for accountability, free speech, and democracy. But the DS fingerprint in some things happening in India now is hard to miss.
> Not at all saying all the students, youngsters, and people protesting are anti-nationals or anything like that. Or trying to trivialize any issue.
> But we have to understand there's a huge hand in using India's internal issues to incite more and more youth to cause anarchy and regime change. This is happening right now.
> A movement was started online and remained online for months since the issue they are protesting for happened. Right?
> Yet, suddenly, now they are being encouraged to climax their protests with a parliament session so other groups can also be incited to using the bills being tabled like minorities, farmers, workers etc by spreading misinfo on the bills.
> They started with "we need accountability from authorities," then "govt needs to address the issue", then called for resignation of a minister, but now some are making the entire agenda against the PM and the whole government.
> Yes, in a large country of 1.5 billion issues happen, and when issues happen the govt must address the issues and be accountable. But if the entire govt has to brought down for a paper leak, accident, or because 1000 people protest, that's nothing but an attempt at regime change.
> Such attempts end up poorly for the country and its people. None of their existing issues get solved and things become only worse. Only the power and its DS that's orchestrating the regime change benefit. Just look at Nepal and Bangladesh now. India has to help them.
> Some of them are openly talking about Nepal kind of regime change happening, are making radical speeches, inciting the youth to make subversive comments and break the law. IMO, all this is being orchestrated from outside India and put into their heads by Indian acting accounts using SM.
> Social media, especially Meta platforms, Telegram, and Reddit, which were heavily utilized for regime change ops in Bangladesh and Nepal are being again used to do these psyops on the protestors. Incite our youth to join the protests. And radicalize them to act in subversive ways.
> These foreign SM platform algorithms seem to be showing only one sided content inciting even the most peaceful grandma at home scrolling through reels to start talking against the govt.
> People like me who do not even use Meta, and are outside India, when we go to some random video on Insta and scroll, I get to see some content telling me Modi is a Nazi and inciting me to fight the Indian govt in just a few swipes down. Why? Alarming.
We did it!
4167 Km in 68 Days. 23 Hours.
From the southern tip of India in Kanyakumari to the Kashmir, we made it together.
A new World Record is here.
When this run began, I knew the road would test me in every possible way. There were days of unbearable heat, endless rain, heavy traffic, mountains, pain, exhaustion, and moments when my body wanted to stop.
But I knew why I started.
This record is not mine alone.
It belongs to every person who stood on the roadside and cheered, every person who ran miles with me, every soldier who encouraged me, every prayer offered for my safety, and every message that reminded me to keep going.
My deepest gratitude to my incredible team, who stood beside me every single day, making sure I could keep moving forward.
A heartfelt thank you to all my sponsors and partners for believing in this dream and making this historic Run possible. Your support gave this run to the strength to reach the finish line.
This victory belongs to all of us.
From Kanyakumari to Kashmir, we didn’t just break a record, we showed what relentless belief, courage, and consistency can achieve.
Record is done but the Run will continue.
Now towards the Mighty Karakoram from tomorrow onwards.

Extremely Rare Red Sprites Spotted Flashing Over Tibet. They are caused by high levels of electrical activity and form in the upper atmosphere during powerful thunderstorms.
I've spent the last fortnight being vowed by two very different kids. One, a 7'5" basketball savant from France leading a young team to the NBA finals over the defending champions in just his third season. And the other, a 15 year old prodigy from Samastipur who hits a cricket ball like no one has ever before. Victor Wembanyama and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, both in their second season, have overnight become the talismans of their respective teams, and perhaps their respective sports! Wembanyama is not the first player that tall in the NBA. But he is the first player of that height who can dribble like a guard and shoot three pointers from 30 feet out while being perhaps the most menacing defensive presence ever in the paint. And Vaibhav, he just hits balls that others would not dare, longer and harder than anybody around him while almost unerringly also finding the gaps in the field. He is an attacking machine whose success rate is off the charts. It will be so much fun to watch them progress over the next decade. Already, hardened cricket cynics have just got used to switching on their televisions when Vaibhav goes into bat. And libraries in Texas are enjoying a huge uptake in readers as Victor has publicly spoken of his love for reading, such is the excitement around him! Sometimes, it needs someone unique and fresh to make jaded fans fall in love with again their favourite sport. To get one is a blessing, to get two such generational talents around at the same time is unbelievably lucky! Pictures: courtesy AP & Getty
I just completed a 26-day basic mountaineering course at ABVIMAS. I went as a student, not a coach. But my coaching brain never really switched off and these are the observations I couldn’t stop making.
Today's youngster is being black pilled everyday by a coordinated psyops by adversaries and politics that every issue is the worst ever in India and happening only in India. They have no clue as to how India was before and fall for it given the discomforts they feel due to the issues and the propaganda amplifying it. So these youngsters of today will derail India's development by becoming a force against India's political stability and growth. So GoI needs to start fixing the issues at earnest as well as this adversarial narrative warfare on our youth black pilling them so much.
I finally wrote this article I've been planning to get to for a long time - Posted as draft for feedback on my Substack - The Avatar Hypothesis for UFOs/UAP - on the overlap between simulation theory and UFOs.
Let me know what you think!
