A very young & talented pilot Shambhavi Pathak also lost her life alongwith #AjitPawar in the plane crash
I hope people weep for her as much as they are doing over a corrupt politician.
Rest in peace, Shambhavi 🙏
Maturity is the moment you realize Santa was never a stranger in red.
He was your FATHER - quietly showing up every day, sacrificing without applause, fixing problems, carrying worries, and still smiling for you.
No magic sleigh, just real love, strength and presence when it mattered most.
All of us are selective sinners ?
We choose the sins
we are comfortable with,
and judge others that
commit the ones we are
not comfortable with.
We all draw lines around our own sins and call them acceptable, then shame others for crossing different ones.
Nothing smells more comforting than your MOTHER'S dupatta.
If comfort was a place I would say it is the two arms of my mother wrapped around me while I hug her taking her scent. That is what heaven and comfort is to me.
Wow. This is HUGE
German Physicists Teleport Quantum Data 79 km Over Real Internet Fiber.
A team of physicists in Germany has demonstrated quantum teleportation over 79 kilometers of standard fiber optic cable, the same type used in today’s internet networks. Unlike tightly controlled lab experiments, this test ran on real world telecom infrastructure, showing that quantum communication could one day coexist with everyday data traffic instead of needing entirely new networks.
The experiment uses quantum entanglement to transfer the state of a photon without physically sending it. By operating at telecom compatible wavelengths, the researchers minimized signal loss and noise, a key requirement for future quantum secure communication systems.
Quantum states are still fragile and hard to scale, but this result shows that long distance quantum networking is no longer theoretical. It’s starting to look deployable.
ज़िंदा हैं तो ज़िंदा हैं,
तो मर गए तो फिर कहां जिंदा हैं!
मृत्य बस इतना ही,
और इससे ज्यादा कुछ नहीं।

Parkinson's Law : In human terms:
Work behaves like a lazy guest- it stretches out to fill all the time you give it.
🔸Give yourself too much time, -- effort spreads thin and drags on.
🔸Give too little time, and stress takes over.
🔸The sweet spot is a clear, slightly tight deadline -- that’s when focus peaks and work gets done efficiently.
In short: Deadlines don’t limit work, they shape it.

@ChetuyaGamma But how does the upper limit change from 1 to ♾️ in the first step?
The substitution used later would only apply if the original integral were over ( 0, ♾️)
Entangled particles do not communicate faster than light.
ER = EPR proposes they may already be connected by tiny spacetime bridges, making distance irrelevant at the quantum level.
1️⃣4️⃣ The Final Line
India doesn't need a bigger GDP headline. It needs a stronger economic backbone.
A nation isn't truly wealthy when its economy grows-
A nation is truly wealthy when its people grow with the economy.
And that is the India we must build.
Not a top-5 economy on paper-
But a top-5 quality of life for its people.
THE INDIA THREAD:
The Uncomfortable Truth About India's "Top-5 Economy" Tag
India is the world's 5th largest economy.
But it doesn't feel like one.
Not on the streets.
Not in the job market.
Not in the lives of ordinary Indians.
This thread is not anti-India.
It's pro-truth.
And sometimes truth needs courage, not celebration.
Let's dissect the gap between headline GDP and real lived economy :
1️⃣3️⃣ If India wants prosperity, it needs :
👉Millions of factory jobs.
👉Skill-based education.
👉Formalization of small businesses.
👉Labour-intensive manufacturing.
👉Higher female participation.
👉Better social safety nets.
👉Healthcare + education reforms.
👉Affordable credit for MSMEs.
👉Real wage growth.
Not just GDP growth-
People's growth.
