A part of my post-doctoral work is now on video! Through @JoVEJournal, we present a show-and-tell review on the methodology we used in our Nature communications paper. Check out my team’s interview statements below; I share my thoughts both in the intro and conclusion segments.

Today, on the passing of my all time favourite singer, the legendary Asha Bhosle ji , I find myself reflecting deeply In Rangeela , it’s Rahman who obviously composed the music , but it was Asha ji’s voice that infused it with an immortal soul and raw, youthful fire. “Rangeela Re” wasn’t just a song, it was a thunderclap that shook Bollywood. @urmilamataondkar ‘s electrifying moves on the raw, pulsating streets of Mumbai fused seamlessly with Asha ji’s playful sensuality, mischievous energy, and unimaginable vocal range, creating pure cinematic magic that redefined the film music’s rebellious spirit I remember her walking into the studio with the poise of a queen, yet carrying the wide eyed child like curiosity of a newcomer hungry to experiment with a New Age music director like Rahman, One take, a small adjustment in phrasing or emotion, and the magic flowed like a torrential storm Coincidentally, today marks the 24th anniversary of her track “Khallas” from my film Company, shot on the fiery @IshaKonnects . That ultra seductive, high octane number, with its thumping rhythm along with Asha ji’s commanding voice became a quintessential item song that still pulses with undefined energy. Asha ji wasn’t just a singer , she was the heartbeat of an entire era, her voice flowing like a river through generations, bridging classical roots with modern beats across multiple languages and diverse emotions. From sensuality to soul stirring depth, she captured the complete full spectrum of human feeling like no one else ever Rest in power Asha ji, You might have moved on to another place , but your music will remain here forever🙏

First day at TCS Campus

I like the way Dhurandhar 2 songs are being sung in front of Vishal Dadlani in Indian Idol, he can't do anything other than acting cheerful on screen.

Virat Kohli's t20 50s in last 2 years- 50(38) - Won 69*(38) - Won 54(30) - Won 62(33) - Won 51(47) - Won 70(42) - Won 73*(54) - Won 62*(45) - Won 67(42) - Won 59*(36) - Won 76(59) - Won 92(47) - Won 70*(44) - Won 51(43) - Won Kohli scores 50, team wins.

I have consistently maintained that he is a generational talent. In terms of pure natural ability, he stands right up there with the very best young players I have come across. There is a prodigious level of talent in him, and it is something you immediately recognize when you see him on court. He has been training in my training group for the past three weeks along with coach Irwan, and this period has only reinforced my belief in his potential. Physically he has a strong presence on court. His height gives him excellent reach, and he already possesses a very deep, heavy smash that can put opponents under serious pressure. What also stands out is his defensive instinct. He stays very low, reads the shuttle well, and shows a natural ability to absorb pressure in rallies. Like any young athlete with immense potential, there are areas that will determine how far he ultimately goes. Fitness and the ability to remain injury free will be absolutely critical in shaping his long term career, and that is something we must continue to focus on carefully. What has been particularly encouraging over these last three weeks is his attitude. He has trained with great seriousness alongside me, Coach Irwan, and the extended team, and the early signs of progress are already beginning to show.

Who called it colonial loot and not Raj kachori?

My nearly 5yo on his 3rd visit to India: “Daddy, there are so many bugs here.” Me (thinking): “It’s an unfortunate feature, not a bug.” Later, on a morning drive: “Why do people drive so slow and so close to everyone?” Me: 😆

Retired Bowlers seeing Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s batting

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi could be playing IPL 2050. He will still be under 40 then. God knows how many records he would've broken and created by then.

@nibraz88cricket 😆

Daryl Mitchell refuses to face Usman Tariq 😂 #QTGVRWP

Ok, this is how my parents felt when they 1st saw Sachin play

Rajat Patidar completed 3000 runs in T20 cricket today. His batting average stands at 35.23 with strike rate of 157.15. No other batter in T20 history has scored more runs than him with both a higher average & strike rate.

Are we absolutely SURE that Suryavanshi is real

This inevitability around Vaibhav Sooryavanshi pulling off a shock & awe batting performance is scary. What are we witnessing here. Second 15-ball half century for the 15-year-old who’s now made 200 runs & hit 18 sixes, including off Bumrah, Boult & Hazlewood, in 4 innings #IPL

The best thing about Amazon is they rather refund you than have a conversation about it

I was watching Kantara second part yesterday while in a flight. By mistake I had downloaded the Kannada version, so had to use the English sub-text. But since I was using head-phones, I could also listen more clearly to Kannada words. To my surprise, while of course couldn't make out the full dialogues, a large number of words seem to be derived from Sanskrit and I could get the drift of what was being said. However, If when you listen to two people conversating in Kannada, the experience is different. The language seems illegible. May be, its not that difficult to learn other Indian languages. Need more focus.

I accidentally wore a red shirt to target… Long story short, I’m covering for Lisa this weekend.
