Monday thought: In this summer of ironies and surprises, who would have imagined a Pakistani PM announcing a US-Iran peace deal the world had been waiting for?
In a world turned upside down, yesterday’s cross-border terror sponsor can suddenly project itself as today’s peacemaker. And we, the aspiring ‘Vishwaguru’, watch from the sidelines, busily breaking parties and manufacturing a LS majority. 🙏
On 15.5.2026, I travelled by car, heavily bandaged to Vadapalani Kauvery Hospital from Royapettah. I was in severe pain, & going to hospital for review. At 12.40 PM, at the entrance to GN Chetty Road from Anna Flyover, & at 1.10 PM at Panagal Park,twice a group of beggars in Traffic Police uniform stopped my driver,& despite my pleadings of a medical emergency, robbed my car driver( who had ALL original documents) of 500 Rs bribe each. Why do Chennai Traffic Police hv to resort to banditry in broad daylight to feed their families? Can't the DGP pay them regular salaries? Does this daylight robbery hv to happen in the reign of The Great Honourable Chief Minister, Mr. Joseph Vijay Sir?

I am one of the senior most practicing Urologists of Tamilnadu speaking. Readers, repeat after me: WESTERN TOILETS DO NOT INCREASE THE RISK OF UTIs IN THE FEMALE. Needed to dispel this oft-repeated myth.
A doctor from Nagpur told me something about how she is implementing AI in her clinic that amazed me.
She runs a small clinic. 15 years of practice. 40 patients a day. Her biggest problem was never diagnosis. It was follow-up. Patients would come in, get a prescription, and disappear. Half would not complete their medication. Some would not come back for follow-up. A few would show up months later with the same problem, worse.
She tried everything. Reminder calls. SMS. A register. Nothing worked. Her assistant forgot. Patients ignored SMS. The register got outdated by Thursday.
Then she figured something out.
Her patients would not read text messages. But they would listen to a WhatsApp voice note in Marathi. Something about hearing a voice felt personal in a way text did not.
She also knew that in many homes the husband controls the wife's phone. So the message had to make sense if someone else opened it. Each patient chose their own follow-up phrase during the first visit.
And she knew compliance collapses between day 4 and day 7. Not later. The intervention has to hit on day 4. By day 7 it is too late.
She built this using Claude. No code. No developer. WhatsApp voice notes in Marathi on day 4, day 6, and day 10. Personalized. Follow-up compliance went from 40% to over 75%.
No engineer could have built this.
Not because it is technically hard. Any developer could build it in a weekend. Because no engineer would have known to build it this way.
Voice note instead of text. Marathi instead of Hindi. Husband controlling the phone. Custom phrase at first visit. Day 4 intervention window. Every design decision came from 15 years of watching patients in Vidarbha not come back.
That is domain knowledge. It does not exist in any dataset or AI course.
India produces 1.5 million engineers a year. Huge numbers learning AI. "AI/ML enthusiast." "Prompt engineering certified."
A lot of people know how AI works but have no idea how any industry actually works.
The engineer builds for the problem they imagine. The domain expert builds for the problem that exists.
I have seen this in legal. Engineers built beautiful AI tools for lawyers.
Technically impressive. Lawyers do not use them. Because a lawyer's real problem is tracking 150 hearing dates across 4 courts while managing a clerk absent half the time.
A CA who filed 500 GST returns knows where errors happen. A teacher who taught 10,000 students knows the problem is not content but attention. No engineer in HSR Layout designs for a student with a shared phone studying between 9 and 11 pm.
India has an advantage nobody talks about. Millions of English-speaking domain experts carrying decades of ground-level knowledge. Globally rare. And almost nobody is training them to use AI.
India does not have an AI talent shortage. It has domain experts who think they are not "technical enough."
They are wrong.
🚨 NITIN GADKARI : "India's ethanol production reached 1,800 crore litres while consumption is 1,400 crore litres"
"I kept promoting Ethanol leading to growth in factories"
"Today, 450 crore litres are being used in telecom towers"
"Generators running on 100% ethanol have been launched."
I used Colgate, a fluoride-based toothpaste, twice a day, every day since I was a child.
Little did I realize that Fluoride competes with iodine at thyroid receptor sites. Same receptors and direct competition. Your thyroid needs iodine to produce T3 and T4. Fluoride blocks the door.
You're delivering a thyroid-suppressing chemical through the most absorbent tissue in your body. Twice daily. And your dentist told you it was essential.
Hydroxyapatite toothpaste remineralizes teeth without touching your endocrine system. Been around for decades.
Japan uses it as standard.
No, per IDF, Reuters, BBC, and AP updates from the last hour: most missiles in this morning's barrage were intercepted over Tel Aviv/Jerusalem skies. No confirmed hits on Ben Gurion Airport or the 27th Squadron base. Iran claims strikes succeeded; open sources show only debris-related alerts and prior-day limited damage elsewhere. Situation fluid.

Dear @nsitharaman ji @narendramodi ji,
Corruption is the single biggest problem in Bharat that prevents us from achieving the highest standards 😔 People leave the country thanks to Corruption. The poor are struggling due to Corruption. Corruption breaks the will of people who put in hard work. Deserving people lose opportunities due to Corruption.
Can the team take a look at this post by @wintrackinc & take strict action immediately.
Request my audience to share widely.
I trust that the Government will take a deeper look, take action and update us on the same so that it sets a precedent for anyone who wants to take a bribe.
We need a Bribe Mukt Bharat please 🙏🙏🙏

One line from the MedPlus earnings call triggered our curiosity:
“Our generics are made in the same WHO-GMP plants as branded drugs… at 50 to 60% lower cost.”
That set us on a journey.
What we found: a company building the generic focussed pharma chain. A thread (1/n)
