A key finding from AIIMS New Delhi research highlights that increased screen time in children under one year of age is associated with a higher risk of autism by the age of three. The study suggests that greater screen exposure may increase the likelihood of autism-related concerns. Experts recommend keeping children below 18 months away from screens.

The Nizam of Hyderabad brought ~50 engineers from the then czechoslovakia to manufacture guns in Bren Gun Factory in Sanath Nagar. He housed them in ~50 bungalows. Most of these bungalows are apartments today and the colony is called Czech Colony.

While working in Delhi, @krishnatanaa is surrounded by some of the worst #AirPollution in the world & when it became personal — he made a choice to protect himself. But his story asks a harder question: what happens when the people in charge don’t care? 🎧 ow.ly/gKTe50YPax2

Wrote a detailed post on pick your own pay for those who are interested! frappe.io/blog/culture/t…

Private schools in Rwanda are closing down because public schools have become so good; institutions are asking the government to sponsor students in private schools at public rates. In Rwanda, most children in public schools are given free laptops to help them study, and they don't pay school fees. Below is an example of a public school in Rwanda.

Me using books to hold myself together

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology. Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Not wrong though 😛

Pragmatism, at its core, is pretty simple Only talk about things that you can observe in the real world and find (creative) ways to verify them. Everything else is a mental-construct, and hence your word is as good as mine. What should settle the debate is observables.

One of the best protest signs I've ever seen #FreeIran

Telugu people in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Odisha, Chattisgarh and every else in India. Please oblige by what SPB said for the coming census. Mark your mother tongue as Telugu and don't ignore this.

Indeed!

🤣😭🤣😭🤣😭🤣 If you are in a reading slump, read the *The World’s Shortest Stories*, edited by Steve Moss. All the stories in the book consist of exactly 55 words.

@aikodionn Fountainhead does that to me. So I expected something similar with Atlas Shrugged as well- got disappointed.

I think there are some books you never really get over. It may have been a while since you read them, but on certain days, they return to you—and you’re wowed all over again. What book or books give you this feeling?

@Subeer @ThePhysicsMemes There is more drag on Kajal given her horizontal posture? 🤣😂

@ThePhysicsMemes Terminal velocity changes based on the posture you adopt while falling through air. You can change the rate at which you fall.

Do you realize the gravity of the situation? #quantumphysics

@beastoftraal The rarest thing will be the experience of meeting someone you adore. Unless we can delude ourselves of this experience looking at the AI generated selfies.

Autographs once marked a rare moment. Then came photographs, selfies, and videos... each making celebrity encounters easier to capture and remember (and eventually share). Now, in a world where celebrity encounters can be endlessly simulated via AI, will the rarest thing be proof... or the absence of it? PS: There are thousands of "selfie videos" like this on the Twitter and Threads, all using Google's Nano Banana, among other tools, with every celebrity you can ever dream about, dead or alive! #selfie #AI
