Some think they can tell Indian Bengalis from Bangladeshis by who says noon vs laban for salt, or bandhu vs dost for friend. Funny how they forget Kolkata’s Salt Lake is Laban Hrad not Noon Hrad, and 🇧🇩 reveres Bangabandhu, not Bangadost. Ignorance speaks the loudest.
Here is the root cause of fee hike in Public funded institutes.
Today there was news of PhD scholar protests in IIT Guwahati due to fee hikes. We have seen such fee hikes in several institutions. But the root causes of such hikes remains surprisingly under-discussed even within academia. This is my understanding of the root causes, more…
It’s heartbreaking 2 watch ur parents slowly lose their faculties. My dad, once an ace accountant, loved playing mental math games/riddles with us. 2day, while having dinner, he couldn’t calculate 4% of Rs. 200 😞 हरति निमेषात्कालः सर्वम्
Absolutely. Journal publications played it role. It’s over now. In today’s world, no one needs journal to let the community know about their discovery. PS: That doesn’t mean no peer review.
best to get rid of all the #journals, period. replace w a better sys. modern warfares are not faught with bows & arrows but with #AI, sofisticared guns, drones, bots, aircraft carriers & fighter jets. similarly, the jour might have had their roles once upon a time, not anymore.

After the haircut, I uploaded my pic and asked Grok to show me how would I look if I go clean shaven. This is what it made. Ellon, you have to do a lot of work to make it truly smart.
Healthy body and healthy mind of the citizens will build a healthy and happy nation.
This picture is all you need to make it big in life: Avoid Jalebi & Samosa and give your body the respect it deserves. Avoid mainstream media & their anchor to protect your brain. Avoid tobacco to stay in peak health. Then utilise that energy to make a good body and money.
Read today somewhere, “There is a difference between people loving your light — and someone sitting with you in your shadows.”
I got to know the same story from one of my colleagues. She couldn’t upload the equipment details. Mailed ANRF at the last moment (literally), got a call back within 2 min, and the issue was resolved. @ANRFIndia Hats off. You r doing the magic that we hv bn waiting for long.
Was applying for the ANRF Advanced Research Grant, but the submission portal froze during final edits. Grateful to the ANRF support team for swiftly resolving the issue when I called—just in time before the deadline! 🙌 #AcademicLife #GrantWriting #ANRF @ANRFIndia @shivkuma_k
This is so true. It’s so heartbreaking to see the failing & falling health of your parents everyday. Who were fit enough to go to Rohtang pass 2 yrs ago and play with snow, all of a sudden can’t evn do their daily chores, dependant, n easily irritable.
It has been the most testing phase of our lives; the worst we have faced as a family. For years, my parents defied the passage of time with grace and vitality. I often marvelled at how, while my friends were grappling with the slow decline of their ageing parents, mine remained…
Running a democracy is a complex business, but voter ID not being one of the 11 valid documents for being able to vote is definitely Kafkaesque.
One very interesting fact: People can get Aadhar which is issued by Central Govt fraudulently But They can’t/couldn’t get fraudulent birth certificates which are issued by local municipal corporation or Gram Panchayat. This is called grassroot level honesty.

Posting on rqst frm a visually impaired frnd: Earlier, coins of diff values differed clearly in size n shape, making them easy 2 distinguish by touch. Now, many denominations feel identical. Here’s 1 example 10 n 20 can hide below 5 perfectly. @RBI, please take note.
Noida-Delhi highway was beautifully decorated with these aesthetic installations.
