one of the most humiliating things about corporate life is watching a grown man get scolded like a child in front of his coworkers. we’re all adults trying to make a living. you can correct someone’s mistakes without stripping them of their dignity.

“Indians want to work hard. Nobody in India will tell you it’s five o’clock. And certainly no Indian will ever remind you it’s the weekend,” jokes Commerce Minister Goyal with Dutch business leaders

This is the best use of AI that only Indians can come up with.
Narendra Modi is talking to a baba through AI who died in 1993.
Baba, who is no longer in this world, tells Narendra Modi, “I remember meeting you in 1993, when I asked you to have some prasad.”
Baba then says, “I am proud that you are the PM of this country.”
And then comes the best part: “Narendra, please have some prasad today. Don’t make excuses by saying you’re fasting!”
If you still think India is progressing under his leadership after watching this in 2026, my friend, I’m sorry, but you seriously need help.

People predicting that INR will structurally appreciate to USD are fools.
A currency appreciates because there is demand for that currency.
Demand for a currency happens if: that country has some value to offer.
Example: Indian's IT used to bring FOREX to India because the "Demand" for Indian labour was high.
Demand can come from intelligent labour or value for money goods produced within a country. Not stories.
The phase 2002-2009 was possibly the best phase for INR. Reason: IT was booming. And, India was expected to compete with China.
Now right the situation is that we are burning our FOREX reserves to save INR. Despite currency getting smacked, FIIs are not even buying our markets cheap.
These are plain facts.
But hey: who gives a shit? It is all about storytelling.
Tell some people that Mumbai locals are better than Maglev trains; many in India will actually believe that. And, start sharing this on their family's Whatsapp groups.

A 72 year old man in Guntur got a knee replacement in June 2025. Within a month, the artificial joint was infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium resistant to a wide range of antibiotics, including carbapenems.
Months of washouts, a spacer exchange, an arthroscopy and weeks of intravenous antibiotics followed. By Dec, his pain was 9/10. The infection kept returning. Doctors judged further surgery unsuitable given his age and condition.
The team then tried bacteriophages: viruses that infect specific bacteria.
For those interested in the science, this is where the work gets interesting....
Dr Sutharsan Govindarajan's phage lab at SRM University-AP tested the patient's own bacterial isolate against a panel of phages. 3 were selected and genome-sequenced.
In lab tests, each phage alone initially killed bacteria, but this strain subsequently regrew. The 3 phage cocktail suppressed that regrowth.
The cocktail was delivered into the infected knee through a drainage tube over 10 days. The antibiotic colistin was given alongside from day 2. Lab tests had shown that the combination worked better against this strain than either treatment alone.
- On day 6, colistin was stopped after kidney function worsened. The phage treatment continued.
- By day 10, tests of the joint fluid no longer detected the resistant bacterium. Pain had fallen from 9 to 2-3, and the man could walk independently again. His inflammation marker returned to normal a few days after treatment ended.
- At 6 months, he remained antibiotic-free with no recurrence reported. A joint-fluid culture in June 2026 showed no growth of the pathogen.
The clinical team was led by Dr Kalyan Chakravarthy Koganti at Samishta Hospital (SHRI), Guntur. The authors describe this as, to their knowledge, India's 1st reported successful phage treatment of a carbapenem-resistant prosthetic joint infection.
Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏

Shouldn’t Maggi say “Instant Cancer.”
When Maggi sells the same Noodles in California they carry a Cancer warning label.
India is the dumping ground for chemical food. When US banned DDT, US companies dumped all their stock in India—Indian govt called it “Green Revolution.”

The internet is deeply unserious. Yesterday Vembu was exhorting NRIs to come to India. Today he is threatening mass layoffs.
