As if the tweets going viral wasn't unreal enough, now this. Appearing in the iconic @Amul_Coop ad that too with @iamsrk!! No words or emojis can capture what I am feeling right now.
My mother has been immortalised in the adorable world of @Amul_Coop ads! And with @iamsrk, no less! HOW CUTE IS THIS @AshwDeshpande 😍 #ShahRukhKhan

फिल्म संगीत में सलिल चौधरी या सलिल दा का नाम बहुत इज्जत से लिया जाता है।उन्होंने एक से बढ़कर एक बेहतरीन नगमें दिए हैं। उन्हें एक ‘थिंकिंग कंपोजर’ माना जाता था। दिग्गज वॉयलनिस्ट डॉ. एल सुब्रमण्यम उन्हें याद कर रहे हैं #Raaggiri @YRDeshmukh @hvgoenka @MadhuriDixit @KapilSharmaK9

I got Claude to create my personal website. I was pretty pleased, but a human I showed it to wasn't impressed. He pointed out issues I hadn't noticed & kindly offered to reorganise all the material into a website with better UI/UX. 💯 ✅ Human 1 - AI nil. ashwinideshpande.com/

Miles away from my beloved homeland & Dilli (keeping 👀glued to the unfolding storm there), watching nature unleash its magnificent magic as Aurora Borealis was an out of body experience. We were incredibly lucky to have seen green, blue, white & pink; and the bar code pattern 🤩
