I expect the Spanish inquisition, every day.

@udupendra I think this is kind of expected. No one knows how to play good spin of the traditional variety any more because there were no good bowlers of this kind. For now, he's a novelty, but there will be a ton of people who do this in 5-7 years

In 24 hours, Mikel Arteta took Arsenal to first league in 22 years, Andoni Iraola took Bournemouth to Europe for first time ever and Unai Emery took Aston Villa to first European trophy in 44 years, first of any kind in 33 years. All born within 30 miles of each other. Gipuzkoa.

@udupendra There's a guy in Indiranagar next to the motherhood who does this.

@udupendra "Temple" is a bit generous for that thing. We tend to make every random thing a "place of worship".

@GyftrIndia repeated attempts to fix this leads to black holes from which no answers come. Your phone support "transfers" to WhatsApp and provides no resolution. What even is the point of this service?

[Rajesh V @vrajesh]

@GyftrIndia I have been trying to use my "instant" vouchers purchased from you yesterday but they've been in the "invalid" state since yesterday. Your support is borderline non existent. The chat just assures that things will be fine in 3 working days for "instant" vouchers

[Rajesh V @vrajesh]

@udupendra Absolutely nothing senseless about your rage. So sorry for your loss. We lost a family member too last month to the same thing. Feel helpless.

The rain “disasters” is a result of not holding BBMP/GBA elections for years. Corporators/City Councillors at least keep an eye on their wards. Now no one is there to see what’s happening. Sadly no MLA irrespective of his/her party wants GBA elections. Reason- More public representatives, more people to share the collection! #BengaluruRains

My friend @DineshDrushya, a Kannadathi, teaches how to read, write, and speak Kannada online. She has taught 25 students across all age groups so far, her youngest student being 4 years old and the oldest 60+. If you want to learn Kannada, please do contact her.

@udupendra @nikhilnarayanan And they've named a 5 street "layout" near Kasturi Nagar "Rajiv Nagara". I guess the connection is obvious. Even the widened road in Okalipuram has been named for him recently.

OpenAI has released the language in their contract with the DoW, and it's exactly as Anthropic was claiming: "legalese that would allow those safeguards to be disregarded at will".

Note: the first paragraph doesn't say "no autonomous weapons"! It says "AI can't control autonomous weapons as long as existing law (that doesn't exist) or the DoD says so."

Similarly, the mass surveillance use cases will "comply with existing law", but many forms of data collection that we'd consider "mass surveillance" are things that the NSA has consistently argued are legal under current law.

Some gratitude runs too deep. Blessed to have shared a dressing room with Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad . These men have redefined what it meant to wear that jersey with grace. I am so grateful for the standards, the friendship and the journey. 🙏

Hey Star Sports. These ads are condescending, not close to being funny, and put pressure on the team and its fans.
Please desist.

In medical school, we are taught a golden rule: "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." It is a reminder to look for the common explanation before the exotic one. But after decades in cardiology, I’ve learned that if a patient is still suffering after the "horses" have been ruled out, a doctor must have the courage—and the curiosity—to go hunting for the zebra.

Sarah was a thirty-four-year-old marathon runner and a devoted mother who came to me after six months of being told she was "fine." She had been bounced from one specialist to another, each one pointing to her normal EKG and standard blood tests as proof that her crushing fatigue and racing heart were simply the result of "new mom stress." By the time she reached my office, she didn't just look tired; she looked invisible, as if the medical system had stopped seeing the woman and only saw the data.

Instead of re-reading the normal test results that had already failed her, I asked Sarah to walk me through her life. We talked about her training and her family, eventually landing on a backpacking trip she took to the Mendoza province of rural Argentina. She described staying in a charming, rustic cottage made of sun-dried mud bricks. She mentioned waking up one morning with a strangely swollen, purple eyelid that she assumed was a simple spider bite.

As she spoke, a memory surfaced from a biography I had read years ago about Charles Darwin. Most people know Darwin for his theories on evolution, but medical historians have long puzzled over the mysterious, debilitating illness that plagued him for decades after he returned from his voyage on the HMS Beagle. Darwin had written in his journals about being bitten by the "great black bug of the Pampas" while sleeping in mud-walled huts in South America. He spent the rest of his life suffering from heart palpitations and exhaustion that the Victorian doctors of his time could never explain.

I realized then that Sarah wasn't suffering from stress; she was likely hosting the same "silent killer" that may have haunted Darwin: Chagas Disease.

The "Kissing Bug" lives in the cracks of those mud-brick walls. It bites its victims—often near the eyes or mouth—while they sleep, passing a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi into the blood. The danger of Chagas is that the initial symptoms disappear quickly, but the parasite can hide in the body for years, slowly weaving itself into the muscle and electrical "wiring" of the heart.

To confirm this, I moved beyond the standard tests. I ordered a specialized "Strain Rate" ultrasound, which doesn't just look at whether the heart is pumping, but at how the individual muscle fibers are stretching. We saw that while her heart looked strong to the naked eye, the fibers were "stuttering," a sign of early parasite-induced scarring. A specific blood test for the parasite's antibodies confirmed the diagnosis.

Treatment required a difficult, sixty-day course of anti-parasitic medication to stop the infection, paired with a protective heart regimen to keep her electrical system stable while the inflammation settled. Because we caught it before her heart was physically damaged or enlarged, the recovery was a success.

Months later, Sarah returned to my office, her vibrant energy restored. She brought me a leather-bound copy of The Voyage of the Beagle with a note tucked inside. She wrote that while other doctors had looked at her charts, I had looked at her. This case remains a vital reminder for my memoir: in a world of high-tech scans and AI, the most sophisticated diagnostic tool we possess is still the human story. When we truly listen, we don't just find the disease—we find the patient.

Good morning.

This is absolutely shameful. Agents of a federal agency unnecessarily escalating, and then executing a defenseless citizen whose offense appears to be using his cell phone camera. Every person regardless of political affiliation should be denouncing this.
