The greatest news interview of all time. Nothing can prepare you for what happens 20 seconds into this clip.
Legendary moments when a badminton playing team took the competition to the next level;
The greatest books are never about their self-stated subject. “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” is about genius and hubris. Robert Caro’s LBJ biography is about power and politics. So is Daniel Yergin’s “The Prize”. Great books are always about the human condition.
A determined immigrant left his country for India to start a new life created a brand that gave Indians a place to eat and meet during the British Raj, when many places didn't allow Indians to enter. This is the story of Dorabjee & Sons, one of Pune’s most loved restaurants. 1/12
One of the reasons I love December is that it brings so many of our overseas alumni back to campus @iitgn. The one and only @GoldyYadv visited us a few days ago. Was so much fun hanging out, reliving her PhD days in the lab and sharing laughs.


Had an amazing time reconnecting with two lab alumni recently - Somesh Shingane (@blank__alias) and the twitterless Nishant Rao. It was a true joy hearing about their research journeys. So grateful for these lasting connections!
