Take a moment to appreciate the incredible detail on this lathe-turned pillar in India. I’d give almost anything to go back in time and see how this was made.

🥳🎂 She was born on November 6, 1988. In 2016, Nature magazine named her one of the ten most influential people in science. #scihub 🗝

Liberal Arsenal fans are on a generational run right now

A new blog "Why chemists are perpetually obsessed with impact factors but physicists are generally not", read at sciencetalk.wordpress.com. Please read and share. Cheers! Happy Festivals ! Biman Bagchi.

Ashoke Sen has been awarded the prestigious Oskar Klein Medal for 2026, becoming the first Indian physicist to receive the honour. Previous recipients include Nobel laureates Chen-Ning Yang, Steven Weinberg and Hans Bethe, who received the medal in its first three years.

Shubho Bijoya! दशमी की शुभेच्छा Gaganendranath Tagore’s iconic 1915 painting “Pratima Visarjan” captures pujo sounds on a canvas. I learnt so much about this painting from this short video. instagram.com/reel/Ddf0KPwMU…

My friend Priti’s sister in USA got a massive heart attack. She is on life support and family needs to reach ASAP. However, their emergency visa application has not been processed yet. Please retweet for amplification. It’s urgent and a truly life-defining situation.

Most Indians don't know this, but the Dreze family are literally academic royalty in Belgium. Jean's brother the late Xavier Dreze was a highly regarded Marketing professor at UCLA's Anderson School of Management. He was one of the very very few who could do both modeling and consumer behavior research. He died very young at age 48. His obituary says he was a true polymath with multiple academic and sporting talents. Jean's father the late Jacques Dreze was an economist at the Université Catholique de Louvain. He was a highly regarded economist and the first president of the European Economic Association. He has collaborated with nobel laureates Robert Aumann and Franco Modigliani and his publication record is comparable with the best in the field. Jean Dreze could have had a very cushy life with his family legacy, white skin and European passport. Even in India, he could have been a social butterfly flitting in and out of five star hotels and running think tanks funded hy veated interests. Instead, he took Indian citizenship, learnt Hindi and roughs it out in rural Jharkhand. He designed many schemes and his footprint is all over Indian economic policy. You may like him or hate him. But Jean Dreze is more Indian than anyone who was born Indian, including you and me. He chose to be Indian. And he has dedicated his life to India. Think of this the next time some illiterate journalist asks "Who is Jean Dreze?"

End of an era that will never be forgotten

Sorry to interrupt your Sunday, friends. I really hesitated to write this, but if I don’t speak up today, I will be facing a severe financial crisis within a week or two. To be clear, I am not asking for charity or financial help. I am asking for work. I have been completely without work for the last three months. My last project ended on June 30th, and since then I have knocked on every door I know—calling, texting, meeting contacts, and following up. People say they will try, but after that first talk, the silence takes over. Calls go unanswered or get cut after a couple of rings. I honestly don't know whether the industry is shifting because of AI or if my age (52) is working against me, but despite over 13 years of solid experience in the field, nothing has materialized. Now, my savings are down to the very end. I can barely hold out for another week or two. I am a professional content writer, translator, and speaker who is comfortable on stage and in front of the camera. I write and translate fluently across Gujarati, Hindi, and English, with Gujarati being my strongest suit. Many of you already know my grasp of politics and my political writing, but I am equally adept at covering Bollywood and cricket. My priority is media houses, digital platforms, or publications, but I am open to any genuine writing or translation opportunity. I can work remotely or take up assignments on-site anywhere in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar, as I need to be close to my elderly mother to take care of her health. Because my situation is urgent, I am especially looking for quick-turnaround freelance assignments or immediate projects where payments can be settled on submission. If you or anyone in your circle has work, please reach out to me directly in my DMs. A humble, earnest request: while I deeply value your warmth, please refrain from sending just "best wishes" or "stay strong" messages right now. I am fighting hard to stay out of a very dark headspace, and right now, only actual work leads can pull me through. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and thank you for your support. My inbox is open. 🙏

NEVER forget what side of history you stood on. Arsène was a football purist who always tried to do things the right way. He got battered for it. Always stand up for what you believe in. That’s why he’s the GOAT.

Wow! Won't be a lie to say it shook me a bit ..

Bro casually filmed the best day of his life 😭🚲

Türkiye'deki metro heykeli, güzelliğiyle dünya gündemine geldi 🥰

Herkesle iyi anlaşmasıyla bilinen kapibara, bu kez bir armadilloyu adeta “araç” gibi kullandığı anlarla görüntülendi.

anyone near Guwahati felt the quake just now? The doors and window panes at my apartment were shaking sonorously for almost 30 seconds...now that was a first !
