Though different cities and countries does makes it harder. For me, now back in Mumbai, it means thinking about how to build a life in my 40s when my closest friends are geographically in different places. 2/2

This hits pretty close to home. Almost all my (adult) meaningful friendships have been due to the structure - graduate school in the US and then some at work. We’ve managed to sustain some because we’ve all taken efforts whenever we meet. 1/n timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/civil-ir…

@paraschopra Will the sessions be recorded and shared later for folks on the waitlist?

I've been saying that a lot of empirical research in AI/ML can be automated. In an online session, I will show how it's done. Will walk through an example session live on the call + detail my workflow. Register below 👇

you can outsource your thinking but you cannot outsource your understanding

Just launched “Good Air” for India. An app that shows you the AQI around you in real time. Now live on iOS. Thanks to @Rainmatterin and @Nithin0dha for providing an open platform OAQ that inspired and enabled us to create Good Air.

Now that the 131st Amendment Bill failed, allocation of Lok Sabha seats will be based on 2026 census data. As per current estimates, seven States will likely lose 35 seats: AP (-5), Telangana (-3), TN (-10), Karnataka (-2), Kerala (-7), Odisha (-4), and WB (-4). Four States will likely gain 34 seats: UP (+12), Bihar (+10), MP (+5), and Rajasthan (+7). BJP is widely believed to be the potential beneficiary of redistribution of seats to States based on 2026 population. In a stunning act of self-denial, the NDA government came forward to freeze the current share of States based on the 1971 census data. There could be many reasons for BJP committing to such a freeze - putting the nation above the party, paving the way for expanding their footprint in the South, or avoiding a divisive issue when the nation has to focus on growth and prosperity in the face of global challenges. Whatever be the motivation of BJP, the seven States that lost share of population are offered an unexpected gift. You don't look a gift horse in the mouth! Surprisingly, the parties which have great stakes in the South and East have scored a spectacular self goal. This is a classic case of cutting the nose to spite the face. In 2001, as the freeze in seats was expiring, I was deeply involved in persuading the then Vajpayee government to continue the freeze in the number of seats allocated to States for another 25 years. An unwieldy coalition and the economic challenge posed by external sanctions after the Pokharan explosion demanded national unity, and the parties responded with the 84th Amendment. Now again a priceless opportunity arose, and the Opposition squandered it without any strategic thinking. If political animosity makes you oblivious of your own interest, or larger interests of fostering unity and focusing on growth and harmony, it is a sign of dysfunctional politics. I appeal to all parties to come together and find a harmonious solution to the thorny problem of seats allocation in the face of demographic imbalances. National unity and our quest for opportunity and prosperity for all demand a fair and swift resolution. In the long run migration will resolve the imbalances. Already millions of migrant workers are building and sustaining the economies of several States in the South, West and North. That is why, despite low fertility rate, Maharashtra's share of the population is increasing. In the US, dramatic internal migration changed the demography and representation over the years. People move freely to States where there is growth and jobs are created. In a century, Florida increased its representation in the US Congress from 4 to 28, California from 11 to 52, Texas from 18 to 38, and Washington from 5 to 10. Owing to outward migration, New York lost seats, from 43 to 26, Pennsylvania from 36 to 17, Illinois from 27 to 17, Ohio from 22 to 15, and Missouri from 16 to 8. We should make it easy for people to migrate to other States and recognize and respect their constitutional rights everywhere and make their life easier and safe. That will resolve our demographic challenges. Most states reached low fertility levels, and Bihar, UP, MP, Rajasthan and Jharkhand too are going to reach there in a few years. We need a reasoned and pragmatic approach to grow together and become strong. Let us persuade parties to shed inflammatory and divisive rhetoric and focus on quality education and skills and opportunities for all.

@LiveFromALounge @emirates 💯 Plus on their Dubai - US route, the snacks they provide in addition to the snacks and beverages they keep in galley whenever you want something, Emirates keeps you well hydrated and well fed!

A lot of airlines have a lot to learn from @emirates, including how to keep people well fed in Economy on a plane.

It’s easy to blame GG for this, but we haven’t been able to play spin well for many years now (at least 5-7). We have been just escaping with a lower order fight back and/or a once in a while magical innings by a top order player. Need to fix the root cause and play spin well.

@ConanOBrien Why does this look like an AI-generated image? Conan, did you really play cricket? 😂

My first day playing street cricket and I scored eleventyhundred points(??) I have no idea what happened. #ConanOBrienMustGo #India

@ESPNcricinfo Feels like MI are giving Arjun Tendulkar to LSG on a loan and will get him back when he grows! If only IPL had an official “loan” system …

Shardul Thakur has joined Mumbai Indians ahead of IPL 2026 MI and LSG have also agreed on a separate deal involving Arjun Tendulkar, who has been playing for MI since IPL 2023. The left-arm fast bowler, who was bought by MI for INR 30 lakh last year, has been traded to LSG. MI have decided to release Arjun Tendulkar so he could possibly get more playing opportunities at LSG

@prajdabre Some additional AI history for the fellow!

Stop embarrassing yourself! How does one get 21k followers with such opinions?

@mjavinod The Toyota 86 in India!?! 😎🤩

@prajdabre Then we will have arrived! 😄😂

@Priyanshu__2109 Please check your DM. I need to confirm which email address to reach out to. Thanks!

@varish Hii, thanks, I'm interested in applying for this intern position.

@andrewgwils Wouldn’t a sabbatical let you achieve that?

I miss the days of being a PhD student, or postdoc. I would give almost anything to have multiple full days at a time, just to concentrate deeply and single-mindedly on open-ended research.

@bhogleharsha Where is season 2, Harsha! It’s been way too long. Now is the time to inspire youth and young at heart folks to build for India, through its inspiring space journey!

Everytime I want to remind myself of why India became what it is, I listen to this podcast, one of the most satisfying things I have done in my career. A young scientist talks of why science is about rationality and not emotion, a priest reminds his parish that science and spirituality are the same. India's embrace of science and technology put it on the path to progress. The scientists in the 50s and 60s were such patriots. Do listen #MissionISRO @Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/3wj5Gu…
