It was wonderful to see Aloka reunited with the monks, his tail wagging with happiness. He is continuing to recover well from his recent surgery, and these moments together bring joy to all of us.
May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace.🌿☸️🪷

Wg Cdr Namansh Syal is the pilot who died in today’s Tejas crash at the Dubai Air Show. Deepest condolences to his family, the squadron & the IAF.
Blue skies, Namansh. 💔
Every time you open Google Maps, your phone is talking to at least four satellites orbiting 20,000 km above Earth.
Each one beams down ultra-precise timestamps basically saying, “It was 12:00:00.000001 when I sent this.”
Your phone measures how long each signal takes to arrive, then triangulates your exact position. Simple, right?
Here’s the twist by Einstein.
As those satellites are moving fast (about 14,000 km/h), time slows down for them, a prediction of special relativity.
But because they’re also far from Earth’s gravity, time speeds up … a prediction of general relativity.
Put the two effects together, and their onboard clocks tick about 38 microseconds faster per day than clocks on Earth.
That sounds tiny but if engineers didn’t correct for it, your GPS location would drift by roughly 10 km every single day.
So every step you take, every Uber you call, every “turn left” you follow… all depends on Einstein’s equations quietly running behind the scenes.
Mind bending

India was once called a nation of call centers and it sounded like an insult. But quietly, it trained millions of young Indians to speak fluent English and dream beyond their hometowns. That was phase one.
Then we became the IT back office of the world. And it created a generation of engineers who could write code, manage complex systems, and deliver at global scale. That was phase two.
Today, we’re in phase three. Indian startups are solving for India and it looks chaotic from the outside. These are signs of a country solving its own problems first, before solving the world’s.
Sure, we should go more deep tech and we will i think. But first we need more patient capital, more research led universities & more talent density. Deep tech ecosystem can't be built in a hackathon. It will be built by million engineers who get obsessed in solving billion daily problems.
