@EmergingRoy Dr. Singh was quite colourful behind closed doors it seems.

Yes. I learnt this language from the Prime Minister.

@VaisakhNandan1 @BoyNextDoor707 The hearts of gullible women are stolen by beastly men.

@BoyNextDoor707 @HumApplby kuch jal raha hai?

Arey bhai ye kya dekh liya 😭😭😭😭

I like to believe that this trope was first written in Percy Jackson.

@the_blind_thing Oppenheimer is wasted on these ungrateful plebeians.

I ranked popular Christopher Nolan movies. Am I right?

@VaisakhNandan1 @sunayna30 More than that, I am anti such theatrics. Takes away the limelight from actual criticism.

@sunayna30 Haan its @HumApplby

Only 2 types of people do not care about the protest 1. Who are privileged enough to leave this country 2. Who will remain uneducated blind follower of….. because they don’t need education

@ilikeicealot You sound to be an elite yourself, panini ji.

the salary disparity in some companies is actually wild bc why is someone with 6-7 years of experience getting the same amount as someone w 1-32, yoe Your college does matter to some extent

By making art exclusionary, they have brought back the appeal of art. A similar example would be physically visiting the Sistine Chapel to marvel at its glory. Pretty elitist, but that’s how it’s always been.

@iamsolregem @VaisakhNandan1 Ek baar mein pi gaye poori. Should have stayed with tapri ki chai, encourages thoughtful conversations.

@Preetam_M_Rao Which one is better?

A rivalry that existed behind closed doors has finally gone mainstream. Madhwacharya vs Shankaracharya 😂😂😂😂😹😹😹😹

@ModiKaRightGota @VaisakhNandan1 @Malay4Product This might explain why IMO performance is a good predictor of future success (no. of field medalists) but IPhO, IChO, IOAA, IOI, IAO etc, have no correlation to future breakthroughs.

@HumApplby @VaisakhNandan1 @Malay4Product Olympiads select on and reward problem solving ability. These are generally solitary pursuits, often empowered by the surety of an existing solution. Good science, on the other hand- is decidedly institutional. Positioning an answer matters more than finding the right answer.

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours. This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it. Let me tell you what actually happened. The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12. 381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find. India sent five kids. All five came back with gold. Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad. We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :) That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan. Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them. Now here is what the exam actually was. Two papers. Each five hours long. The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs. The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids. That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer. Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours. HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too. Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO. Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze. In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver. Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade. Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018. So who built this. The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy. They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane. The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai. The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri. Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra. This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own. The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast. That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world. But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think. That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years. So yes, be proud. Loudly. HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD. But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India. I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have. But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying. Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.

@VaisakhNandan1 @Malay4Product @ModiKaRightGota might be a more appropriate person to answer.

@Malay4Product @HumApplby : why its not getting translated into scientific breakthroughs at phd/post doc level? Why they/ achievers are not good scientists yet?

@WhitePillzONLY Hello, mota bhai.

Anyone who loves Adani is my friend without introduction

@ModiKaRightGota @VaisakhNandan1 I believe in the representation of marginalised communities :-D .

@HumApplby @VaisakhNandan1 Israel lobby detected.

Look at emoji sign - :) @HumApplby - first gen SM users are the gold

@ModiKaRightGota @narendramodi Didn’t realise there were any Muslim lions left after events in Gujarat around February 2002.

A decorated member of the Bajrang Dal was martyred in Gujarat today, while trying to prevent a Muslim Lion from committing shameful acts of a sexual nature with a lioness in a public national park. We demand that @narendramodi recognise his martyrdom. Om Shanti.

@peeleraja Because of the proximity to US capital invested Mumbai vs the USSR inspired Kanpur.

US-funded IIT Kanpur is rapidly losing favor among IITJEE toppers while there is a mad rush for Soviet-funded IIT Bombay.

@iamsolregem @ItsRitu08 @VaisakhNandan1 She?

She is so hot, she must not be married -

@B0NDO07 @sunayna30 @iamsolregem Who can imagine borrowing the name of main character of a very popular TV show. Certainly not me.

@sunayna30 @iamsolregem @HumApplby interesting...that's not me but he has the same name as me and i too wzs once obsessed with jap girls..interesting

Obsessed paglus

@ErtugrulPaaji @Kakabhushundi Where are the speak only in Kannadiga people in Pakistan?

In fact, the name Pakistan itself is derived from the Indian sweet "Mysore Pak" by Mohammed Ali Zina who being a Kannadiga at heart, loved Mysore Pak. The word "Quaid e azam" is a corruption of the word "Kannadiga e Azam".

Had he carried on the family tradition of studying at Oxford, he might’ve appreciated it even more.
