@krishnabgowda@_kanakapuraroad@krishnabgowda Kanakapura Road is filled with posters and banners of ward to state to national politicians across the road. I've seen from Vajarahalli to Kaggalipura. Some of these are so dangerously on the road, some blocking the road, turnings and signages
1979: fasting glucose over 140 makes you diabetic.
1997: lowered to 126.
Millions of new diabetics. Same blood.
1997: prediabetes starts at 110.
2003: lowered to 100.
A third of American adults, created by a footnote.
1984: high blood pressure is 160/95.
2017: lowered to 130/80.
American hypertension goes from 32 per cent of adults to 46. Thirty-one million new patients in a morning.
2001: the cholesterol target is 130.
2004: lowered to 100, and to 70 for the high risk.
Statin eligibility expands by millions.
Eight of the nine men who wrote that 2004 update were on the payroll of companies selling statins. They disclosed it only when forced.
1994: a WHO panel invents osteopenia. Bone that is not thin enough to break, given a name and a prescription. Half of older women qualify.
Nobody got sicker on any of those dates. A committee sat down and a number moved.
The threshold drops, the market widens, and the drug is already licensed and sitting in the warehouse.
Your grandfather was healthy at 145/92. You are ill at 132/81.
Nothing about the body has changed. Only the paperwork, and who profits from 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.
Why Dharmendra Pradhan won't Resign before this monsoon session ends?
He explained it perfectly, if you are not inclined towards any party and only think about country's interest then you should watch this & if required you can fact check.
Sometimes, the loudest protest begins...
After the problem has already been solved.
That is when you stop following slogans.
And start following the timeline.
Before you decide who the villain is...
Read the timeline.
Because dates don't shout.
They don't trend.
They don't protest.
They simply expose the truth.
May 3.
NEET examination.
Within four days, the NTA detected fraud.
The very next day, it informed the police.
The investigation began.
The Government cancelled the May 3 examination.
May 12.
The Ministry of Education filed a written complaint.
The CBI registered the case.
Special investigation team (SIT) were formed immediately.
May 15.
Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan addressed the nation.
He apologised.
Accepted moral responsibility.
Announced the re-NEET schedule.
Then came the bigger announcement.
From next year,
Major national examinations would move towards
computer-based, multi-encrypted testing (CBT).
A permanent safeguard.
Not another temporary fix.
Meanwhile,
The CBI moved fast.
Arrests began.
The network expanded.
Soon, 13 accused were behind bars.
June 21.
Fresh NEET examination conducted successfully.
July 16.
Results declared.
Now students wait for counselling.
But this story is bigger than one examination.
Paper leaks are not new.
Every student preparing next year will carry the same anxiety.
I am with students.
Now comes the real question.
If the examination was cancelled...
The re-exam was conducted...
The results were declared...
The investigation was underway...
And structural reforms were already announced...
Then what exactly is the endgame of this protest?
If the demand is...
"Remove the Minister."
Then what?
What comes next?
What reform is on the table?
What solution replaces the one already announced?
These are fair questions.
Another one is equally important.
Who loses the most...
If encrypted, computer-based (CBT) examinations,
make organised paper leaks almost impossible?
Students?
Or those who profited from the old system?
Coaching Mafia?
Corrupted Academicians?
Tainted Beuraucrats?
Or those who is taking advantage of students emotions.
Bhim Army?
Aam Aadmi Party?
Congress?
Communist Party?
One fact cannot be ignored.
If technology shuts the door on organised paper leaks...
An entire illegal ecosystem stands to lose.
That is why the real battle is bigger than one Minister.
Or even one Government.
Goverments will come and go.
Party will win and loose.
But this nation will remain.
And it should at any cost.
Bigger than one Leader or person.
It is about one question.
Will India finally dismantle the business model...
Built on stealing honest students' hard-earned opportunities?
That... is the fight worth having.
Update on my complaint: The Member Secretary of KSPCB has officially closed IPGRS Grievance 337631 today (06/07/2026), confirming on-site violations by this illegal industry at Survey 26/2 Mallasandra (Related to my BESCOM complaint IPGRS ticket in this thread). Detailed violation report forwarded to KSPCB Board office for legal action. @NammaBESCOM BESCOM must immediately disconnect power to this violator in a residential zone! @CMofKarnataka@mdbescom@GBA_office@BDABangalore@thekjgeorge@bwssbchairman@bbmpcommr@karnatakakspcb #VigilanceSquad #Bescom

Open letter to Indians in America.
--
Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat:
Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way.
Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned.
You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict.
Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect.
Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself.
As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal.
Respectfully
Sridhar Vembu
@sanatan_kannada I've seen a similar vehicle in Mallasandra Knkpr Rd near Kumarans school few months back! I was wondering why UP vehicle with sadhus driving slowly in a place that is so inside and away from main road.
