@paraschopra Dan Simmons has an interesting book called " Drood", based on a mystery related to death of Dickens which you may want to check out

Drop everything and read this #book.
Seriously, this sci-fi is leagues apart from any other sci-fi book that I’ve read (except perhaps Ursula’s writings).
Immensely imaginative, the book has several interconnected stories, each equally mind blowing. And all those stories come together in a fluid meta-story. Few of the stories were so powerful that I had trouble sleeping as I kept thinking about them.
I picked the book after seeing it infinitely recommended on hacker news and it did not disappoint.
It’s sad that the author recently passed away, but I’m excited to read rest of the books in the Hyperion series.

The first time you start a research lab, there’s no manual.
So I made one.

@Basavaraj19kori @AITCofficial @narendramodi By this logic all flights should also stop giving non-vegetarian food. Why would someone compromise for someone else's problem. Rather go appeal for vegetarian only coaches then...if there's so much problem
English

@AITCofficial @narendramodi People travel in a same coach. If vegetarian and next to him is non-vegetarian. veg people may get discomfort by seeing that. n it's just a matter of time. within some hours you will be dropped in ur station. after going outside you may have anything. Post smtg which make sence

First they policed our votes. Now they’re policing our plates.
Just days ago, @narendramodi was busy boasting about giving Bengal a new Vande Bharat sleeper train. What he didn’t mention however is that on the Vande Bharat train running from Bengal to Assam, fish and meat have been taken off the menu.
A train connecting two regions where people cherish non-vegetarian food now offers only vegetarian options. This is the natural extension of a mindset where:
🚫 The Prime Minister derides fish-eating Bengalis as “Mughals”
🚫 Diktats are issued banning fish in Delhi
🚫 A poor street vendor is brutally assaulted for selling chicken patties
Today it’s what we eat. Tomorrow it’s what we wear. Who we love. How we live. What we’re witnessing is the “Banchte Chai, BJP Tai” model, where Bengalis are pushed into submission by Bangla-Birodhi Zamindars imposing monolithic, homogenised identities on our plural ethos.
Bengal will not take lessons on identity from those who neither understand nor respect it.

The new year marks the beginning of a new chapter as I have recently joined as an Assistant Professor in the Jyoti & Bhupat Mehta School of Health Sciences and Technology (@jbmshst_iitg) at @IITGuwahati. A huge thanks to all my mentors & collaborators for their perpetual support.

Is it ok if I brag on my daughter for a few moments? 😇 She’s at MIT working on a PhD in physics (soft condensed matter and stat mech) and recently submitted this paper:
arxiv.org/pdf/2503.11902
Among the many reasons to be proud, I see that she has used the word “ubiquitous” in the intro 🏆🙌, something her dad has also done in a physics paper.
