Denmark’s infrastructure, a country of around 6 million people is fascinating. I booked a hotel that was reasonably out and yet connected using their metro trains.
This is a country that builds infra first before the people come. There were several KMs of no habitation 1/n
Most new development is highly regulated and uniform. City planning is evident not just because of the buildings but for the lack of boundaries. No compound walls across, facilitates free movement and access that allows better enhancement.
@maahirpanchal Fantastic piece @maahirpanchal. Banks reward this behavior, expect manufacturers to use land as a hedge and it’s mostly downhill. Most industrial layouts are positioned as real estate ventures than incentivising maker economy.
@WhatsApp is the latest spam medium in India. Every DTC business will be a pest on everyone’s phone because they can.
@WhatsApp - shouldn’t offers/announcements be turned off by default?
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.

I'm a cardiologist. Something just happened today that I genuinely did not see coming — and it could change the future of preventive medicine more than anything I've written about on this platform.
Midjourney — the AI company that became famous for generating images from text prompts — just announced a medical hardware division and unveiled a working prototype of a full-body scanner unlike anything that's ever existed.
It's called the Midjourney Scanner. And it works like this.
You step into a shallow pool of water. You stand on a platform that slowly descends — about two inches per second — through a ring containing roughly half a million tiny ultrasonic transducers, each the size of a grain of sand. Every one of them acts as both a speaker and a microphone, sending ultrasonic waves through your body from every angle and recording what comes back.
60 seconds later, you step out. The scan is done.
No radiation. No magnets. No claustrophobia. No IV contrast. Just sound, water, and an almost incomprehensible amount of computing power — roughly 2 petaflops processing 17 gigabytes per second of raw acoustic data — reconstructing a 3D map of your entire internal anatomy down to half a millimeter resolution.
Organs. Tissues. Blood vessels. Bones. Muscle. Fat distribution. All segmented by AI in real time.
As a cardiologist who has spent months writing about how the standard screening playbook misses the majority of future heart attacks — this is the technology I've been waiting for without knowing it existed.
Here's why this matters for the future of your heart.
Right now, getting a detailed look inside your cardiovascular system requires either a CT scan (radiation), an MRI (magnets, claustrophobia, 45-60 minutes, $1,000+), or a coronary CT angiogram (radiation, IV contrast, limited availability). These are powerful tools. I order them regularly and they save lives.
But they're reactive. You get them when something is already suspected. They're expensive. They're uncomfortable. And for most people, they happen once — maybe twice — in a lifetime.
Imagine instead: a 60-second scan with no radiation that you could repeat monthly or quarterly. Tracking cardiac structure over time. Watching body composition shift. Detecting changes in organ size, fluid distribution, or vascular architecture before symptoms ever develop. Building a longitudinal dataset of YOUR body that AI can analyze for patterns no single snapshot would reveal.
That's what Midjourney is building toward.
The company plans 50,000 scanners worldwide over six years, with capacity for a billion scans per month. The first location — the "Midjourney Spa" in San Francisco — opens at the end of 2027 with 10 scanners alongside saunas, cold plunges, and a gym. The scan costs a few dollars. The experience is designed to feel like wellness, not medicine.
The technology is built on Butterfly Network's ultrasound-on-chip platform — 40 modules per scanner — combined with Midjourney's own AI segmentation and reconstruction stack. David Holz, the founder, claims the system aims for image quality comparable to MRI in many aspects but at nearly 100x the speed with zero radiation.
Now the caveats — because I'm a physician and the caveats matter enormously.
This is a Gen 1 prototype. About a dozen people have been scanned so far. Current scan time is actually closer to 20 minutes, not 60 seconds — the system is bottlenecked by bandwidth and reconstruction algorithms. The 60-second target is aspirational for future hardware generations.
It is not FDA-cleared for diagnostic use. Midjourney is starting with body composition maps — a category below diagnostic imaging in the regulatory hierarchy. The path from "beautiful 3D body scans" to "clinically validated diagnostic tool that your cardiologist can act on" runs through years of clinical trials, comparative studies against MRI and CT gold standards, and FDA review.
No independent clinical validation has been published. The imaging claims come from Midjourney's own demonstrations. Comparative data against established modalities does not yet exist.
And the privacy implications of full-body internal scans at planetary scale — a billion scans per month — is a conversation that hasn't even started yet.
So I want to be precise. This is not ready for clinical medicine today. It may not be ready for years. Many ambitious medical hardware projects have failed in the gap between prototype and product.
But.
The fact that a working prototype exists — producing real segmented 3D anatomy from sound waves and compute alone — means the physics works. The engineering works. The question is no longer "is this possible" but "how fast can it be validated and scaled."
And if it is validated — if the resolution holds up against MRI, if the AI segmentation proves reliable, if the regulatory path clears — then what we're looking at is the most significant new imaging modality in 50 years.
For my entire career, preventive cardiology has been limited by the fact that seeing inside the body is expensive, slow, uncomfortable, and infrequent. We catch disease late because we image rarely. We image rarely because imaging is hard.
A 60-second, no-radiation, spa-based full-body scan that costs a few dollars would demolish every one of those barriers.
I've written about AI detecting inflamed arteries. About gene editing curing cholesterol. About GLP-1 drugs rewriting metabolic medicine. About cellular reprogramming reversing aging.
This is the missing piece: the ability to see inside every human body, routinely, safely, and affordably — so all of those interventions can be deployed before the disease arrives instead of after.
The company that taught AI to generate images from imagination just built a machine that generates images from the human body.
The future of medicine showed up today from the last place anyone expected.
@AarizRizvi While it works, it could have been a lot better.
I don’t understand how facial recognition combined with boarding pass isn’t enough. The passport and fingerprint scanning look archaic when it could have been much more seamless. DigiYatra at least got that reasonably right.
Defn 1: High-level is a meeting attended by the highest level functionaries.
Defn 2: High-level is broad/exec level (often that lacks depth)
When ever a "high-level" meeting is held, it is often def#2 i.e have free samosa and chai and accomplish nothing.
🚨 HUGE! Modi Govt is seriously considering a major reform:
Handing over Question papers of all important national exams (including NEET) to the Defence Forces for SAFEKEEPING🤯
A high-level meeting was held at Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s residence to make NEET & other competitive exams completely secure and transparent.
Several measures were discussed in detail to make the entire process FOOLPROOF & eliminate any possibility of irregularities or leaks in the future.
This would be a landmark step to restore full credibility in India’s examination system.
Defence Forces guarding exam integrity, big move coming! 🔥🇮🇳
The only sure thing is that when a politician highlights the other party’s compromises, it is generally true. Rahul’s criticism of the BJP’s incompetence is as valid as Piyush’s criticism of Congress’s complicity. BJP and Congress are feathers of the same vulture gnawing at India
Rahul Gandhi suffers from chronic political amnesia. He has done it again…chosen propaganda over facts, theatrics over truth!
The same COEMPT EDUTECK PVT. LTD. that Rahul Gandhi is today calling “controversial” was repeatedly awarded projects by institutions functioning under Congress Governments in Telangana and Karnataka.
Here are the facts Rahul Gandhi conveniently forgot:
• Bengaluru City University, Karnataka - Agreement signed in Nov’25
• Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Telangana - Agreement signed in Sept’24
• Adikavi Sri Maharshi Valmiki University, Raichur - Agreement signed in Mar’24
• Karnataka University, Dharwad - Work Order issued on 08.06.2023
• Telangana State Health University has publicly appreciated the company on its official website
So let Rahul Gandhi answer the nation, plainly:
1. If this company is “tainted,” will he accuse the Congress Chief Ministers of Telangana and Karnataka of collusion? Will he demand their resignations?
2. Did Congress Governments sign these agreements blindfolded or is his outrage, as always, selective, scripted, and meant only for headlines against the Modi Government?
The pattern is familiar. Wild allegations. No evidence. No accountability. And the moment facts catch up, Congress runs to conspiracy theories.
India is done with such selective outrage!
#LiarRahulGandhi #BaselessAllegationByCongress #CongressFakeNarrative
To attribute this to party in power is doing grave injustice to where we’ve gotten to as a country. When the people who are expected to formulate, implement and safeguard institutions take discredit as their first refuge and perhaps succeed to get away, we are doomed all around.
Fantastic read. The economics of a $100/month ChatGPT or Claude subscription obscures the true unit economics of AI-native products. While that is a ticker shock in itself, the dollar bleed is a double edge sword. You earn in $, pay in $ while reducing employment.
