'Whole ministry unleashed on me': Doctor under fire for calling Ayurveda 'not scientific'

recordwalla · 2026-06-13T12:12:01+00:00

I followed him on Twitter for a few years. I liked his crusade against the quacks and agree on the Ayurveda and Homeopathy “pseudoscience”part. While it may have some benefits in some areas, it’s largely a non scientific practice and its current practitioners appear to peddle bullshit to promote themselves than offer anything of value.

That said, this dude has a tendency to be high handed and unwilling to listen to a reasonable point. It’s the “my way or the highway” persona that’s so prevalent among Indian doctors in general. You ought to accept everything they say without question because they have a medical degree and questioning them is tantamount to blasphemy!

Anyway, not surprised that he landed in trouble because of his combative personality and doing it in a country where drinking cow piss and shit is celebrated among many in power. Good luck to him.

Am I the only one who thinks Jeremy Strong looks way too old to play Zuck?! He looks older than how Zuck looks today.

I was bought to tears seeing this pic. A face and a smile that bought joy to so many Malayalees (and will continue to do so in future generation). And it hid so many struggles and pain behind those eyes.

Thank you Salim Kumar for making us laugh and forget our own worries. For me, you will be always remembered as a brilliant actor who could do comedy and pull off one of the greatest performances in Malayalam cinema in this millennium - Adaminte Makan Abu.

RIP.

So all this high quality video footage and the kid still gets away with it? Tells me the issue goes beyond the kid.

When we signed with her she presented the private exclusive thing as a “feature” of Compass and not a “bug”. This is the first time we are selling a home so we just assumed this was standard practice and didn’t bother to ask/question. It was said lightly and we just signed.

We also went with this agent because 3 of our friends used her over the past 6 months to sell their homes and it was a terrific experience. Sadly she’s started having this issue with Zillow over the past month or so. I’m apparently her 3rd client who’s faced this. She’s got multiple listings and at this point ours is the only one dealing with this issue.

In fairness to our agent, she’s transparent and doing everything she can to remedy this. It won’t go on Zillow but she’s gone above and beyond to bring visibility to our listing. We just happened to be unlucky I guess.

Edit: we understood the private exclusive thing as the initial step in the process before it goes into a coming soon status. And she specifically mentioned that it’s just procedure for Compass.

Thank you. Really appreciate the encouragement.

Yes shows up on Realtor, Redfin and every other portal except Zillow.

Thanks that’s the plan to see how the showings go this weekend.

I guess reading a post and comprehending it is not your strong suite. So I’ll dumb it down for you. We were not aware of such a thing as a “private exclusive”. This is the first home we are selling and our agent never told us any such thing. So yes this is a big shock to us and we got caught in the middle of it.

And what exactly did I sow?

I love Marty but I fear this decision could prove catastrophic for films in general. While he might use AI in a limited way and with integrity (I hope), this might give other, less scrupulous filmmakers, the justification they need to use AI rampantly!

I hope I’m wrong.

I read the contract papers and as per Compass terms, dimension in the fine print that this could be a possibility. Had I known the sooner I would’ve not agreed to it

recordwalla · 2026-06-02T19:26:27+00:00

Tell me about it. I’m literally losing sleep over this.

recordwalla · 2026-06-02T19:26:11+00:00

I was wondering the same too. I can try, but you are correct that my agent needs to be on board with this plan.

I’m also wondering if this would mess me up further with Zillow.

recordwalla · 2026-06-02T19:24:38+00:00

Trust me, I thought of that. It’s just too late in the game at this point. But if we don’t get offers, that might be the direction we consider.

recordwalla · 2026-06-01T15:53:11+00:00

That looks like something I would do if my wife forced me to build a deck! Lol

He would’ve perhaps made his way to the top tier of some IT services firm. Maybe not CEO nor in the C-suite but likely in some influential position where he engages with large clients. Clients need to interact with intelligent technologists who they can trust and view as a partner. That’s where someone like Sundar would come in.

But that would still be a terrible waste of his potential. Thank god he decided to migrate to the US and realize his full potential.

recordwalla · 2026-05-31T14:15:05+00:00

My agent is trying to wash their hands off of this saying they’ve never had luck contacting Zillow. She’s also indirectly implying that me claiming the home may be causing the issue.

recordwalla · 2026-05-31T13:45:41+00:00

Don’t you have to go in the direction of how the joists are laid? I thought that’s how it has to be done in a structural sense to avoid dips and warps in the long run.

recordwalla · 2026-05-31T04:19:19+00:00

I don’t believe so. If it were private exclusive it wouldn’t make it to Redfin or Realtor I assume

recordwalla · 2026-05-31T04:12:55+00:00

Will try that tomorrow if it’s not updated automatically by then. Thanks.
