Over the next two years:
• "Written by a human" will become a selling point. Readers will pay a premium for it, especially in print.
• New print magazines will launch at premium prices and find paying subscribers.
People will get bored of endlessly generated AI content.
A US frontier AI lab (TypeSafe AI) just announced a "breakthrough" System 1 architecture. The problem? An independent Indian developer built, published, and open-sourced the exact same single-pass RL architecture a full year ago.
The frontier lab generalized it, slapped a new acronym on it, and claimed it as a novel invention. The open-source community keeps doing the heavy lifting in the shadows. This is why we need to be wary of corporates!

May Mahaganapati guide our paths and fill our journeys with auspicious success.✨
Someone asked me if Varaha & Varahi are same?
No, they are not.. but the connection is direct.
In the Devī Māhātmya, when Maa Chandika prepares to fight the army of Shumbha, the Shaktis of the devas manifest in their respective forms.
There is a beautiful verse about Varahi Amma
यज्ञवाराहमतुलं रूपं या बिभ्रतो हरेः ।
शक्तिः साप्याययौ तत्र वाराहीं बिभ्रती तनुम् ॥
Yajñavārāham atulaṃ rūpaṃ yā bibhrato hareḥ
śaktiḥ sāpyāyayau tatra Vārāhīṃ bibhratī tanum.
The Shakti of Hari, who had assumed the incomparable form of Yajna-Varaha, came there taking the form of Varahi.
People sometime know Maa Varahi only as a fierce Tantric Goddess, but the Devī Māhātmya identifies her as the Shakti of Varaha form of Vishnu
This is also one of the meeting points of Vaishnava and Shakta traditions.
The Avatara is Varaha.
His Shakti is Varahi.
Jai Shri Varaha Bhagavan 🙏
Jai Maa Varahi 🙏
Ganesh Chaturthi tomorrow!
Ganesha is well known as the remover of obstacles. In today’s times Ganpati blessings are very much required for wisdom to deal with planetary and astrological afflictions. To acquire knowledge, to develop leadership skills, to keep negative passions -
🚨‼️Reminder: Our festival season has started.
On the occasion of Vinayaka festival alone, flowers and fruits business of ₹10,000 crores is taking place.
All Hindus must buy Pooja items, fruits and flowers only from Hindus and Hindu businesses.
Do not let thousands of crores go into the hands of ‘others’, who do not respect our dharma. 🙏🏼
Be alert, stay united.💪🏼
What connects Ainavilli and Kanipakam Vinayaka temples though geographically distant?
One in Konaseema, another in Chittor dt.
It's believed there were 3 atheist brothers in Ainavilli who once mocked Ganesha for his appearance.
He cursed them to be born with deformities in their next birth. However he told their curse would be lifted when they found his idol and pray to it.
The brothers were born in Kanipakam, one blind, one deaf-mute and another lame.
One day when digging for a well, they found the Ganesha murthi in water. They immediately retrieved it and built a small temple.
And the curse was lifted on them.
Also Bahuda river on which Kanipakam is located gets it's name from the story of a king getting back his lost arms here.
Ainavilli is considered older than Kanipakam, and students appearing for exams come and deposit their pens here seeking blessings from Ganesha.
Kanipakam is considered very powerful and much like Yaganti Nandi, the Ganesha here keeps growing every year.
Those who killed Tarun Khatik for drop of Holi Colour now want to be part of Garba.
They are after your daughter and only idiots wouldn’t understand stand.
Would you believe that the Telangana revolt against the Nizam was started by this frail looking lady in the picture?
Chityala Ailamma better known as Chakali Ailamma who took on the might of the Nizams, his stooges armed with just a rokali( Pestle) and sheer courage.
She was born in 1919 in Krishnapuram, a small village in Warangal dt, belonging to the Rajaka community, which accounts for her name too, Chakali is Telugu for washerman.
For a long time, the rural parts of Hyderabad State, were divided into what was called as Samsthanams, essentially pieces of feudal territories, under the oppresive rule of the Reddy, Velama doras in Telangana, the Deshmukhs in other regions, who ran a brutal and often oppressive rule.
They owned most of the land, and collected the taxes from the poor peasantry, and keeping them in perpetual bonded labor( called as Vetti Chakiri).
These landlords were the masters of their own land, and had a good bonding with the Nizam and his nobles. The Nizam on the other hand, hardly had any control over these lands, and let the Doras run it as per their own free whims, it was pretty much a quid pro quo arrangement.
Ailamma was initially a member of the Andhra Mahasabha, before she joined the Communists later. It was the time the Razakars in tandem with the Doras, were unleashing a wave of terror in the countryside.
Burning villages, massacring Hindus en masse, molesting Hindu women, forbidding them to read or write in Telugu.
It was apparent that only an armed revolt could resist the Razakar atrocities, and the peasants aided by Communists, Andhra Mahasabha began a guerilla warfare against the Nizam and his Patel-Patwari stooges. Ailamma’s house itself was a meeting point for many revolutionaries.
“This land is mine, I have raised the crops, who is the Dora to grab”
In order to make ends meet, Ailamma, had taken 4 acres of land on Koulu( lease) from the Maktedar of Mallampalli, Uttamaraju Kondalrao, for farming. The Palakurthi Patel Seshagiri Rao tried forcing Ailamma to work on his lands, she however put her foot down.
He complained to Visnoor Deshmukh Rapaka Ramachandra Reddy, that she was involved with communist activities, and got her arrested. However the court ruled against the Deshmukh.
The Deshmukh in collaboration with the Patel, made a document claiming Ailamma’s four acres of land in his name, and sent his goons to take the harvested crop from her land.
However the Andhra Mahasabha activists like Bheemreddy Narsimha Reddy, Arutla Ramchandra Reddy, Chakilam Yadagiri harvested the crop, and carried it to Ailamma’s home themselves.
The Deshmukh along with the Razakars, burnt down Ailamma’s home, grabbed all the food grains, her modest belongings.
Her daughter Soma Narsamma, was brutally assaulted by the Razakars, while her sons were beaten up along with her husband Chityala Narasayya. The atrocities only hardened Ailamma’s resolve to take on the Razakars and the Dora.
“What more can the Dora and his stooges do to me"
Picking up a rokali( pestle) she thrashed the Razakars badly.
Walking on foot to the Dora’s home, she openly dared him to grab her land. Soon the Communists attacked the Dora, and distributed the land to the peasants. Her fight against the Nizam and his stooges, inspired many such lower caste peasants to rise in revolt.
Sadly after independence, Ailamma did not receive any benefits, she was not recognized as a freedom fighter, nor did she receive the pension meant for activists like her. She had to suffer poverty in her final years, and passed away on September 10, 1985 in Palakurthy.
#Naman to a true heroine whose story needs to be told more.
Here’s the video compilation of all 32 Avatarams of Ganesha.
Every pandal should pick one of these avatars, do Pratishta and conduct pooja for the 9days.
🙏🏼🙏🏼 Jai Ganesha

While researching on Steve Jobs, she came to know about Neem Karoli Baba.
Fascinated by his life, began to research more about him. And that is when she decided to put her money into #Hanuman_Ansh the movie about Baba.
The movie has turned out to be a sleeper hit and has become a phenomenon in its own right.
More power to you girl.

Again not an exhaustive list, just some of the more popular ones.

A beautiful tribute to Jaspal. He gave so much to Indian shooting, first as a champion and then as a mentor to so many. His loss is still deeply felt. Looking forward to reading this and remembering a very special person.
