On August 31, the first two participants were injected with @PopVaxIndia’s first fridge-stable RNA vaccine candidate in a Phase I clinical trial in Australia. We built this vaccine at our RNA Foundry in Hyderabad – from computational design to GMP manufacturing. Here's how:

i need artists.
to clarify, not looking for prompt engineers. artists. people who can listen to a story and draw an inspired character from it. people who’ve worked close to animation are preferred.
we’re in the middle of a moonshot and i want more people in the room to help us pull it off. i’ll work closely with you every day alongside other brilliant artists.
6 months, Mumbai, flights on us. you be good, we handle the rest.
there’s AI in the pipeline. if that’s a dealbreaker, no hard feelings, i get it. if you’ve been waiting for someone to use it properly, holler.

The Good Father is a page-turner. Taxi driver meets Boyhood is best I can describe it without revealing too much.
If you love PTA, get this book by @brofromanother - delightful read with beautiful images.
Corridor, hilarious graphic novel set in Delhi. One sitting read.
A Grief Observed is reader observing C.S. Lewis making sense of grief.

I am hiring a talented and tasteful full-stack filmmaker for a three-month fellowship @PopVaxIndia, full-time in Hyderabad, to help the world imagine what the future of medicine will look like in our new world of abundant intelligence. We think medicine will be increasingly personalized and preventative, and the mechanics of healthcare will have to be entirely transformed to make that possible. A lot of this will look more like making science fiction than producing launch videos, though there will be some of that as well.
I'm looking for someone who is as comfortable shooting and editing a short film entirely in real life as they are generating it entirely with AI, with the ability to seamlessly embed the one medium in the other. If this is you, email me at film [at] popvax dot com with a few samples, ideally both writing and video. This is a paid position, and it has the potential (but not the requirement) to convert to a long-term role if there is mutual alignment.
My brother @SahajSankaran and I write and direct a little on the side -- see youtube.com/@honestyontape -- so, for better or worse, I will be quite opinionated about what we put out. If this goes well, it will be a deep and fulfilling collaboration on all aspects of the creative process, from the writing to the final cut.
I should have done this a long time ago (many such cases). This will be a lot of fun!

“You shouldn’t feel upset that I haven’t seen the Star Wars films; I hardly see any films. I read... I was raised with Latin and Ancient Greek and poetry from Greek antiquity, but sometimes, just to see the world I live in, I watch ‘WrestleMania.’”
— Werner Herzog
David Bolen (cinematographer) really nailed the aesthetic of the time-period while creating the unique film imagery. Sometimes getting too indulgent, but works overall. It really took all the performances to the next level. Especially loved Merritt Wever’s character as the producer of the show. Great film.
This is truly commendable.
It’s so sad that this is the state of an education institution in our capital city. And growing up in a Tier-2 city, I have seen it myself, how much worse it is there. The worry is constant in many of my friends and members of family before sending our sisters and friends out in night by themselves. At the bare minimum, that shouldn’t be the case.
What’s more unfortunate is that great platform like Internet is often misused to make public conversations frequently consumed by manufactured outrage and trivial controversies, whether it be an ad for a betting company in another country or memes.
Outside LSR, students are raising serious concerns about their safety and asking a basic question: why should girls feel unsafe simply while returning home from college?
Students say they do not feel safe leaving campus after 7 PM, while empty pink safety booths are adding to their concerns.
Girls are protesting for their safety, yet some are hiding their faces out of fear that the police or college administration may call their parents.
PM @narendramodi , At least hear them, assure their safety, and turn your “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” slogan into reality.

So proud of the LSR girls. The college wanted to shut shop and keep them tucked away. They came out in numbers and demanded “aazadi” from the police that failed to protect them!

ANGH, an Indian film from Nagaland, wins top jury award at TIFF 2026, securing direct Oscars 2027 qualification. 🙏
Comparisons are inevitable when discussing filmmakers of this stature, but one has to understand there is no living director with more range than Villeneuve.
Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, and, after Dune 2, now, if he gets Dune 3 right, Denis will have a perfect trilogy that Nolan tried but could not succeed in. And only a few directors have ever actually succeeded in it.
Nolan made The Prestige, and decades later, only Oppenheimer could give the same glimpse of his mastery.
Not to mention the obvious difference in women characters in the films of both directors.
One is mastering a format, other is mastering the art form.
this is more honest way to say what i was trying to say...

“What's the one cinema memory you'll never forget?”
Saoirse Ronan: “The first one that comes to mind is Maestro. When my husband and I went to see it a few years ago, we'd had a really bad day and we've been wanting to see it for so long, and we love those two, Bradley and Carrie so much, and we went to see it and was during the day, it was like Tuesday, and I hadn't seen anything like that in so long. That really felt like cinema and celebrating cinema, and like real meaty, big, deep performances that had like proper heart. And I was so impressed by Bradley being able to direct something like that, and also give a performance like that, and just I'd never seen Carrie be better, I don't think she'd ever had a chance to show what she could really do on the screen until that movie. And we both just felt like it really filled up our cup when we came out, and it gave us a lot of hope about the future of cinema.”
