Long THREAD :

Sources : A litigant named Dr. M. Geethanjali, approached the Madras HC, to redress her grievance wherein, she was denied an MD Opthalmology seat in PSG medical college whereas a candidate who got lesser rank than her was given the same seat. 1/n

 The petitioner also alleged that while the initial fee fixed by government at the time of admission was Rs.3 lakhs, PSG college demanded 35 lakhs.

Justice Anand Venkatesh of Madras HC in an elaborate and detailed order, 2/n
went in-depth into the issue and found that, private medical colleges are making a killing in PG medical admissions using the pandemic. 3/n
The Court observed, _“The governments are grappling with the situation and the normal functioning of the society virtually came to a standstill and slowly attempts are being made to restore essential functions with sufficient safeguards. 4/n
Unfortunately, attempts are also being made to take advantage of this situation to justify certain actions. There is an attempt to put every blame on the Corona Virus even where it did not have a direct nexus to the action performed by an institution or any 5/n
instrumentality of the State. There cannot be a greater sin than to make use of the present situation and gain advantage for one’s own self-aggrandizement. Again, this prelude has a lot of significance in the present case since an apparently 6/n
questionable action is sought to be justified by taking advantage of the pandemic.”_
Finding serious infirmities in the admission process, Hon’ble Justice Anand Venkatesh, directed a CB CID probe into the happenings during this year’s medical admission. 7/n
Court also ordered that, the investigation should be done by an officer not below the rank of a DSP.
CB CID Pradheep Phillip, for reasons that are not clear, chose a DSP named Gunavarman who was caught into allegations of IPL 8/n
betting when he was Inspector as the Investigating Officer for this case.
The CB CID probe is on. As part of the probe, one Dr. G. Selvarajan, MS, DLO, Secretary / Addl Director of Medical Education Selection Committee 9/n
was called by the CB. CID for being examined as a witness.
He was examined by one Maheswari, an Addl SP in CB CID. The said Selvarajan played ‘dalit card’. Addl SP Maheswari, was firm and said, the probe is nothing to do with caste. 10/n
After Dr Selvarajan left CB CID premises, there was a call from CM Secretary II Dr.S.Vijayakumar, IAS, a direct IAS officer of 1993 batch. He directed Addl SP Maheswari to meet him and she did meet him confirm sources. What transpired in the meeting is not clear. 11/n
Apart from this, Vijayakumar IAS called CB CID IG Shankar and instructed him that Dr Selvarajan, should not be made an accused in this case.
Highly placed sources say, the said Vijayakumar IAS, as Secretary II to CM does all the dirty works of EPS. 12/n
In fact he has been misguiding EPS which may lead to EPS’s arrest. He is not an IAS officer but a fixer and a tout say a senior IAS officer.

The said Vijayakumar is a dalit and using this dalit card, he has formed a closed group of Dalits among 13/n
IAS & IPS officers of TN cadre. Dalit officers, fearing his close proximity with Edappadi Palanisamy are falling prey to this Vijayakumar and carrying out his illegal instructions. The dalit officers’ proximity and nexus with Vijayakumar IAS 14/n
is at their own peril, as the said Vijayakumar will not sign in any files but will issue illegal oral instructions carefully over WhatsApp call.
Long back, Junior Vikatan, published a cover story, describing a power broker, “Delhi Murali” 15/n
as the next Governor of Tamil Nadu. The story also said, the said Delhi Murali was offered a cabinet post both by Sonia Gandhi and Modi. The story was a clear plant by Vijayakumar IAS and Junior Vikatan’s News Editor R.Balakrishnan, 16/n
who is working there for more than 25 years received a huge amount to do this cover story.
This façade was exposed by us, following which, Junior Vikatan, did a balancing story against this Delhi Murali. 17/n
https://t.co/nBDzBq03zd
Sources further add, the said Dr. Vijayakumar is poking his nose in every issue where there is money involved and he is the main reason for the bad reputation of TN CM Edappadi Palanisamy. 18/n
With problems mounting multifold for Edappadi Palanisamy, it is time, he shunts out this ‘Dalit Champion’ Dr Vijayakumar IAS (TN 1993) out of his office. 19/19

A few questions to @CMOTamilNadu 1/n

1) When he claims that he is providing world class health facility and claims the state has prospered under his rule, why none of his cabinet colleagues, who were infected with Covid19, for example Minister for Higher Education KP Anbalagan get admitted into a government 2/n

hospital. Does @CMOTamilNadu’s own cabinet colleagues don’t trust government hospitals ? Or, whatever @CMOTamilNadu says is a lie ?

2) When his own cabinet colleagues get infected with Covid19, and have the risk of becoming a super-spreader, why is @CMOTamilNadu 3/n

undertake political campaigns ?

3) Is @CMOTamilNadu aware that Minister Kamaraj, recently participated in the recent function to distribute Pongal gifts and people jostled to get a selfie with him and he has become a super spreader of Covid 19 now ? 4/n

4) When his own cabinet colleagues who get infected with Covid19, are crorepatis and get treatment in private hospitals, what would a poor @actorvijay fan most of whom are BPL & their family will do in case they get infected ? 5/n

Thread on the missing 100 Kgs gold from CBI

In an unusual order, perhaps for the first time in history, the Madras HC has ordered a state Crime Branch CID probe into 100 Kgs of gold which went missing from the custody of CBI. 1/n

State CB CID officials will now probe the role of the elite CBI agency in the missing ingots weighing more than 100 Kgs.

When the CBI probed this case, the role of several IAS & ITS (Indian Trade Service) came to light. The role of Dr. Swarna, IAS, then Joint Development Commissioner, Special Economic Zone, Chennai also came to light. 3/n

Dr. Swarna is now the Secretary to government, P&AR, Government of Tamil Nadu. When an Addl SP went to examine Dr. Swarna with regard to this case, she threw a tantrum as to how an ordinary Addl SP can examine her and rang up TN Home Secretary to suspend the Addl. SP. 4/n

Thread #Hathras

Sources : The charge sheet filed by CBI in the #HathrasCase is filled with flaws and three innocents have been roped in as accused, in spite of them having strong alibis.

While the prime accused did commit the act and there is strong evidence against him, 1/n

the remaining three were implicated only based on their ‘tower location’ of their cell phones. Two of the accused who are implicated were employees of a dairy located a kilometre away from the scene of crime (SoC) and witnesses working in the dairy, 2/n

had given statements that the two accused were working in the dairy at the time of crime. The other innocent accused was present in a place away from SoC and witnesses had deposed that he too was not in the SoC.

CBI comprises fine officers with investigating skills. 3/n

They always do their job with due diligence keeping in mind the reputation of India’s premiere investigating agency. But, superiors, who are IPS officers on deputation to CBI always toe the line of the ruling regime and act as mercenaries. 4/n

Highly placed sources in CBI say, the Director of Prosecution of CBI, one Ms Sudha Rani concurred with the findings of the investigating officers that only one accused need to be charge sheeted. Ajay Bhatnagar, a 1989 batch officer of Jharkhand cadre, 5/n

Eight years ago, Spencer Cox died of #AIDS. He had access to #antiretroviral therapy, but in his own struggles with #depression and substance use, he stopped taking them. 1/

Spencer left college, dropped out like me in the 80s, and we both found ourselves in @actupny where we joined the Treatment and Data Committee, doing battle with drug companies, the @US_FDA, the @NIH on a quest to save ourselves and our friends from near-certain death. 2/

Now everyone knows what those dark days before the advent of antiretroviral therapy were like. Waves upon waves of dying friends. A government who couldn't care less for the sick and dying. 3/

All this has happened before, and all this will happen again. AIDS. #COVID19. The next pandemic. The fire next time. 4/

And it changes you. Seeing so much death so young. Seeing those in power turn away from the catastrophe, even joke about it (find, listen to the tape of Larry Speakes in Oval Office w Reagan laughing about AIDS). 5/

Why do B12 and folate deficiencies lead to HUGE red blood cells?

And, if the issue is DNA synthesis, why are red blood cells (which don't have DNA) the key cell line affected?

For answers, we'll have to go back a few billion years.


2/
RNA came first. Then, ~3-4 billion years ago, DNA emerged.

Among their differences:
🔹RNA contains uracil
🔹DNA contains thymine

But why does DNA contains thymine (T) instead of uracil (U)?

https://t.co/XlxT6cLLXg


3/
🔑Cytosine (C) can undergo spontaneous deamination to uracil (U).

In the RNA world, this meant that U could appear intensionally or unintentionally. This is clearly problematic. How can you repair RNA when you can't tell if something is an error?

https://t.co/bIZGviHBUc


4/
DNA's use of T instead of U means that spontaneous C → U deamination can be corrected without worry that an intentional U is being removed.

DNA requires greater stability than RNA so the transition to a thymine-based structure was beneficial.

https://t.co/bIZGviHBUc


5/
Let's return to megaloblastic anemia secondary to B12 or folate deficiency.

When either is severely deficient deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP*) production is hindered. With less dTMP, DNA synthesis is abnormal.

[*Note: thymine is the base in dTMP]

After the phenomenon called Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati came another one - Sri Abhinava Vidya Teertha [1954-1989] the 35th Jagadguru. Srinivasa was born on Nov 13, 1917. He was initiated into Sanyasa by Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati in 1931. He was Jagadguru for 35 years.

He was chosen and specifically trained to take over Peetadhipatyam from Sri Mahaswami. He is majorly responsible for the way Sringeri currently is. He built various buildings for devotees, Gajashala, Gooshala etc.

Acharya on conversions:
Once a person approached Sri Acharya that some other religions are trying to convert Hindus and requested Sri AVT to do prevent these conversions.

AVT replied - what do u mean by religion? Religion i.e. mata is related to 'mati' or intellect.
Caste is called 'jAti' which is related to janana or birth.

I present to you all, my (possibly) superthread On how and why the Unknown God from Genshin Impact, and The Herrscher of Void/God Kiana/Sirin from Honkai Impact!

First off! We’ll start with the obvious things that constitute a possible connection.

They share the same Japanese Voice actress! Rie Kugimiya.
Usually this is a stretch reason, but considering everything else, it’s not unlikely that it’s the same character.

Secondly, their Appearances.
The both have very long white hair with identical bang style, and a very noticeable small piece of hair on top that curls upwards. That’s a defining part Of all of Kiana’s hairstyles, and for it to be shared with this god says something.


Another notable thing is their eyes. They both have Glowing golden eyes with very similar appearances. They contain a ring, and a 4-point star pupil. Resemblant of a scope if you will. That’s The Herrscher of Void’s defining characteristic


If you’d even like to take a look at their outfits, there’s resemblances including the black fur collar, the designs on the torso and chest, and the use of something similar to coat tails/skirt. The Herrscher can change their outfit and they aren’t stuck with one. Sirin does this

SRI VARAHA NARSIMHA, SIMHACHALAM, VIZAG (AP)
#bharatmandir

One of the 32 Narsimha Kshetram of Andhra. It has a unique form of Narsimha, appearing like a shivlingam

It is said that Narsimha’s fierce nature is soothed by worshipping him with Varaha, considered a peaceful deity


The shrine is believed to have been constructed by Prahlada. With time, it crumbled.
In Treta yuga, King Pururava was passing from here in his vimana. The vimana was attracted to this place by a mystic power.
When the place was unearthed, the deity was found.
@GunduHuDuGa


Pururava’s wife, Urvashi, had a dream that the deity should remain covered in sandalwood paste for the whole year except on Akshaya Tritiya.
This practice has continued till date.
The mukhya mandap here, has a pillar kappam stambham believed to possess curative powers.


Chandanotsava/ Chandan Yatra is the most important festival celebrated on Akshaya Tritiya. The sandalwood paste is removed from the moolavar deity and nijarupa darshan (original form of deity) for twelve hours of the day are done by devotees.

SRI MOOKAMBIKA DEVI, KOLLUR (KAR)

There was an Asura, Kaumasura, who was doing penance to please Shiva and get a boon. To prevent him from asking for a boon, Devi Saraswati made him dumb (hence called Mookasur)
Later, Adi Parashakti slayed him and came to be called Mookambika.


It is said that Adi Shankaracharya had a vision in which Devi agreed to follow him provided he did not look back. He kept walking and was assured of her presence due to the sound of anklets. When he reached here in Kollur, he turned back as the sound of anklets had stopped.


So Devi stayed here and merged with the lingam. The place came to be called Mookambika Kshetram.
The linga has integrated on it’s left side MahaKali, Maha Lakshmi and Maha Saraswathi and on the right side- Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.


A swarna rekha (gold line) divides this linga into left and right portion. Adi Shakthi in this Udhbhavlinga form appears only here.
Devi sits in padmasana and has 4 hands.
Adi Shankaracharya installed the Sri Chakra in front of Devi and also composed the Soundarya Lahiri here.
