@APTalksCricket This will be a mistake if they make one. Top 3 will happily play them out and cash in on lesser names! It will be fireworks from over 7 through the end.

Cannot recall a single game for GT where they won comfortably despite modest contribution from Gill Sai and Buttler Worth a gamble for RCB to go full test match mode and attack 6 overs of PP 3 from Bhuvi 3 from Hazlewood. This will open up the risk of less death bowling but if the top 3 are back in the PP you may not need death bowling.

This happens so often.

No matter who you are, as you age, you converge into the crowd of uncles who have a useless opinion on anything and everything. Doesn’t matter if the other person is earning an honest bread and causing no harm to you. Indian uncle energy on full display, a faceless troll👇🏻

Congratulations @SpaceX team on an epic first Starship V3 launch & landing! You scored a goal for humanity.

Unless you have friends from college in the area, the chances of this happening are < 1%

One of the most important reasons of holding onto a stock is that the management says what they do and does what they say. Solves 50% of the equation when determining whether to hold or sell. $QS management has been outstanding in that sense in the last few years!

If $TSLA crosses this level then it can do this and it can do that and oh it’ll be a massive breakout and oh it’ll go straight to 700 and oh blah blah blah!!! Just STFU and let it run for once!!! Just feel like writing this under every tweet about $TSLA potential.

About time someone made this into a feature film!!! Hope it translates well on screen!

Congratulations and kudos for the great work and even greater intent! 👏🏻 @MohnishPabrai

The Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) in india have the most objective selection process of any undergraduate engineering program worldwide. There are no essays or legacy priorities. One just has to do exceedingly well on two ultra tough tests. The IITs admit just 1.1% of applicants! It is 3-4x easier to get admitted to @mit, @Stanford, @Harvard and @Princeton! I am excited to share that this year one of our @dakshanaindia Scholars, Godavarthi Harshit Visweswar, got a rank of 39 (out of over 1.5 million applicants!) in the first IIT selection test. He is a sure shot to be admitted and get the campus and major he prefers. His friends call him GHV and I’ll do the same. GHV grew up in the remote hinterlands of Prakasam District in the State of Andhra Pradesh in India. His father is a farmer and the family somehow survives on $5/day. When GHV was in 8th grade, a @dakshanaindia alum, Keshava Chandra, who used to be in the same school as GHV delivered Dakshana’s Inspire session at the school. Each year our alums visit hundreds of schools to inspire the next generation of students to aspire to be @dakshanaindia Scholars. GHV was impressed that Keshava was a student at @iitkgp and understood that if he wanted to go to IIT, he needed to be accepted as a @dakshanaindia Scholar after 10th grade. If there was no @dakshanaindia, the closest location for GHV to get coached for the IIT entrance exam is over 150 miles from his home and the costs of $4000+ would have been completely out of reach. Sometimes all we need is a gentle nudge in the right direction. I received a similar nudge in 8th grade and it totally changed my life trajectory. GHV was the only kid from his school accepted by @dakshanaindia in 2024. We relocated him to Dakshana’s Center of Excellence in Bengaluru and he was coached for two years at The Charles T. Munger Hall. Charlie would be proud! Congratulations to GHV, his family and his teachers. The future for GHV and his descendants looks very bright. This is @dakshanaindia at its very best!

Adulting has stunned me into silence. I have no thoughts, no remarks and no commentary at the moment.

Let me explain what just happened today because it deserves so much recognition. GalaxEye is a Bengaluru startup founded in 2021 by IIT Madras engineers. Today they launched Mission Drishti on a SpaceX Falcon 9. It is India's largest privately built satellite at 190 kg. And it carries a technology that no commercial satellite has ever carried before. Normal satellites take photos of the Earth using optical cameras. Like your phone camera, but from 500 km up. The problem is obvious. Clouds. Night. Fog. Smoke. If any of these are in the way, the photo is useless. India has monsoon cover for 4 months a year. That is 4 months where optical satellites are partially or fully blind over large parts of the country. The alternative is SAR. Synthetic Aperture Radar. Instead of taking photos with light, it sends radar waves down and reads what bounces back. Radar goes through clouds, through darkness, through smoke. A SAR satellite can image a flooded village at 2 AM during a cyclone when no optical satellite can see anything. The problem with SAR is that the images look nothing like photos. They look like grainy black-and-white radar maps. A military analyst or a trained geospatial engineer can read them. A farmer, a disaster response team, or a city planner cannot. Until today, if you wanted both optical and SAR data for the same location, you needed two different satellites, passing over at different times, at different angles. Then someone had to manually align and fuse the two datasets. Expensive, slow, and the data never perfectly matched because the satellites saw the same spot minutes or hours apart. GalaxEye put both sensors on one satellite. Optical and SAR, fused into what they call OptoSAR. Three times more information than a single sensor. Processed onboard by an NVIDIA AI chip at 1.8 metre resolution. Now in practice, during the next cyclone hitting Odisha, one satellite pass gives you a clear image of which villages are flooded, which roads are cut, and which buildings are standing. Day or night. Cloud or clear. In near real-time. For defence, it means you can monitor a border area 24/7 regardless of weather. For agriculture, it means tracking crop health across an entire monsoon season without a single cloud gap. For infrastructure, it means monitoring construction progress on highways and bridges without waiting for a clear day. GalaxEye tested their SAR tech on ISRO's POEM orbital platform. The satellite was tested at ISRO facilities. IN-SPACe provided regulatory clearance. NSIL, ISRO's commercial arm, will distribute the imagery globally. And it launched on SpaceX because ISRO's PSLV doesn't have the right orbit slot for this mission. Yes, four IIT Madras graduates built a world-first satellite in 4 years in Bengaluru. Take a bow!

Apparently, the secret to life is just having gratitude towards God all the time.

“In 2016, [@SundarPichai] had declared Google would be an “AI-first company,” and began cultivating a series of projects—custom chips, Cloud, YouTube, and deep AI research—that seemed to have nothing to do with Google’s core search product. All of these bets have paid off, and then some.” — @TIME in their new #TIME100Companies cover story on Alphabet and AI → time.com/collection/tim… 📷: Daniel Dorsa

On a wall inside one of Tendulkar restaurants in Mumbai—quietly rests an old Australian ODI jersey from the early 2000s, signed by the late Andrew Symonds as a gift to Sachin Tendulkar. But it’s not the jersey that stays with you. It’s the line on it- “To Sachin, the man we all want to be” Because it doesn’t read like admiration from one cricketer to another. It's something an entire generation felt but never quite knew how to say. There was a time when happiness in India had a simple condition— Sachin should still be batting, everything else could wait It’s difficult to explain now, how a country so vast and layered in its differences,could arrive at one emotion at the same time. But it did. Every time he walked out to bat, life paused just a little Those 100 centuries and over 34,000 runs won't explain why his wicket felt personal. Why a straight drive could quietly fix your day. Why his batting was sometimes all the assurance you needed. Because what he built was never just a career. It was a connection At a time when India was still learning how to believe in itself on the global stage, he gave it a presence. Not loud, not forceful—just quietly undeniable.And slowly, the world began to respect us. Opponents didn’t just plan for him—they measured themselves against him. Bowlers came harder, fields got tighter, plans got sharper. But even in the middle of that battle, there was always an acknowledgment from opponents that they were up against someone rare. But then all this on field dominance comes from stories behind camera—less told, but more revealing. Of him turning up hours before training, just to face throwdowns until it felt right. Of carrying injuries but choosing discipline over drama. Of playing through pain not to prove a point, but because stepping away felt harder than continuing. And somewhere along the way, that commitment didn’t just shape his career—it reshaped Indian cricket itself. Stadiums filled differently. Broadcasts grew bigger. The economy around Indian cricket expanded—not because of victories, but because people believed there was always something worth watching when he was there. He didn’t just play the game; he made millions invest emotionally in it. What makes his story even more rare is how it stretches across time itself. The generation before him admired him. The generation with him relied on him. The generation after him grew up in cricket stadiums because of him. And the ones still arriving continue to carry him with them—sometimes in technique, sometimes in temperament, but always in belief. Very few in sport exist like that—across decades, formats, and changing definitions of greatness—they still remain the focal point. His impact isn’t pompous, it lives in quieter spaces. In conversations where belief returns because of advice and because of who it came from. You hear it in stories of Sanju Samson or Shefali Verma- their cricket still carries the imprint of a childhood spent watching him. It goes beyond cricket too. In someone like Neeraj Chopra choosing him as his favourite sportsperson or a Praggnanandha pinning on a praise from Sachin as something worth flexing. He doesn’t just inspire from a distance. He reaches you. Today, the game is louder. Faster. Bigger. Records will be chased and surpassed. New names will rise. But that one feeling—that collective pause, before he took the strike-it belongs to him. Because there are a few, very few, who become a part of how you remember life itself. And maybe that’s why, no matter how far the game moves forward, it somehow keeps circling back to him. Happy Birthday, Sachin!  @sachin_rt You'll live in every young dream that dares a little more, in every straight drive that still feels like poetry, in every moment when a billion hearts pause at you without knowing why! Not in scorecards. Not in highlights. But in something far more lasting. In memory. In habit. In belief. And that’s the legacy none would match.

Remembering the innocent lives lost in the gruesome Pahalgam terror attack on this day last year. They will never be forgotten. My thoughts are also with the bereaved families as they cope with this loss. As a nation, we stand united in grief and resolve. India will never bow to any form of terror. The heinous designs of terrorists will never succeed.

This is what the night sky on Mars truly looks like…No cities. No streetlights. No light pollution whatsoever.Standing on the rusty surface of the Red Planet, you'd gaze up into one of the darkest, clearest skies in the solar system. With an atmosphere over 100 times thinner than Earth's, there's almost no scattering of light — so the stars shine steady and brilliant, without the familiar twinkling we see from home.The Milky Way would stretch dramatically overhead in breathtaking detail, its dense star clouds and dark dust lanes on full display. From Mars' position (about 140–240 million miles away depending on orbital alignment), you'd be looking toward richer parts of our galaxy, making the galactic core region appear even more spectacular.Phobos and Deimos — Mars' two tiny, potato-shaped moons — would race across the sky at different speeds, while Earth would glow as a striking blue "evening star," sometimes with the Moon visible right beside it.A silent, ancient landscape beneath an ocean of stars… the ultimate reminder of how vast and unspoiled the cosmos can be
