चरैवेति, चरैवेति, यहि तो मंत्र है अपना
नहीं रूकना, नहीं थकना, सतत चलना सतत चलना
यही तो मंत्र है अपना, शुभंकर मंत्र है अपना ।।
A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.
And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜𝐡 (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.

Major economies run double-stack freight trains, but they still rely on diesel because standard electric lines can't clear two-story trains.
But instead of settling, India custom-built a 7.5-meter high-rise grid. Today, India is the FIRST and ONLY country on Earth running double-stack containers on pure electric power. This is the scale of transformation happening under the Modi govt.
When a computer tracks the Indian classical dancer in this video, it picks up perfect circles, triangles, and curves in every movement. There are exactly 108 of them. All 108 were written into a manual over 2,000 years ago.
That manual is the Natya Shastra. Six thousand verses, written somewhere around 200 BCE. It describes 108 specific dance movements for Bharatanatyam, one of the oldest dance forms in India. Each movement spells out three things: where your hands go, what angle your body holds, and the exact path your legs trace. Roughly 150 step combinations grow out of those 108 base movements. A trained dancer spends years learning 70 to 80 of them.
Watch the dancer's legs in the video. The bent-knee squat creates a diamond shape. Palms together make a triangle. When researchers plotted these positions in three dimensions this year, they found the moving body carves out twisted spirals and bowl-shaped curves, the kind of shapes you see in an engineering textbook, not a dance studio. Every limb holds a specific angle and moves a measured distance.
The rhythm is math too. A 7-beat song gets filled with dance steps of 3 and 4. Scale that to 35 beats and the groups of 3 and 4 repeat five times. Choreographers work out these splits in their heads while performing live. All 108 movements are also carved into the stone walls of a 12th-century temple in Tamil Nadu called Chidambaram, many panels still carrying the original Sanskrit description next to them. A choreography textbook in granite, still legible after 900 years.
A 2013 study put 25 people on a walkway rigged with motion-capture cameras. Every human stride has two parts: when your foot is on the ground and when it swings forward. The ratio between those two parts came out to 1.620. The golden ratio is 1.618. Your foot lifts off at 61.8% of every step you take, and it has done this your entire life. A Bharatanatyam dancer takes that same built-in proportion and amplifies it across 108 movements, each one tracing shapes that were set down in writing over 2,000 years before the tracking software in this video existed.
The institute invites applications for the post of Professor of Practice.

A 7-year-old boy in a Serbia torn by war built a Wimbledon trophy out of cardboard and slept with it every night.
29 years later – exactly 29 – that same boy, now 36, stood on the Roland-Garros center court holding the real thing… as the greatest player who ever lived, with 23 Grand Slams in his arms.
Then Novak Djokovic did something unforgettable.
He stopped his victory speech, looked straight into the camera, and gave every kid on earth the most powerful 55 seconds of motivation you’ll ever hear:
“I had the power to create my own destiny.
I don’t just believe — I FEEL it with every cell in my body.
To every young person watching:
Forget what happened in the past.
The future doesn’t just happen.
YOU create it.
Take the means in your hands.
Visualize it.
Feel it.
Build it.”
From a war-torn balcony with a borrowed racket…
to the top of the world.
If he can do THAT, imagine what YOU can do.
Save this clip.
Play it when life feels heavy.
It hits harder every single time.
Dear @barandbench, the three IIITA researchers namely
Prof. Pritish Varadwaj, Prof. Neetesh Purohit @NP_SGSITS (Director, @sgsits_official Indore), and Prof. Suneel Yadav contributed for the development of the #FirstSmellMark technology.

I advise young entrepreneurs I meet, both men and women, to marry and have kids in their 20s and not keep postponing it.
I tell them they have to do their demographic duty to society and their own ancestors. I know these notions may sound quaint or old-fashioned but I am sure these ideas will resonate again.
Sanskrit, a unifying artificial language, was last refined by Panini in the 5th century BC. He mentioned at least ten predecessors. It has an estimated 74 million words, exact meanings changed by prefixes and suffixes.
It spawned Greek, Latin and Slavic tongues, spoken by over three billion today. Words like “sthan” echo in Afghanistan, Uzbekistan etc. showing Sanskrit’s vast inland reach. Veda (knowledge) became Latin “videre” and Slovenian “veda”. “Ashva” (horse) became Lithuanian “asva”. “Samudra” (sea) is the same word in Indonesian and “samot” in Thai.
India’s linguistic legacy was spread by land and sea. India, not the steppe, was the Indo-European cradle.
Indian immigrants make the highest fiscal contribution to their host nation, as the chart below shows.
India sent her best.
I hope India retains its best in the next generation. India also should attract some of the talent that left.
From the migrant perspective, why stay where you are not welcome? Bharat Mata wants you, needs you and welcomes you! Come home, let's create a strong and prosperous Bharat 🙏
[Mythbusting Thread] ckers
In this thread, I will debunk the MYTH that bursting firecrackers is a new innovation that was recently introduced into dīpāvali festivities.
It will be shown that bursting firecrackers has always been integral and central part of dīpāvali . Since time immemorial, Hindus celebrated dīpāvali by bursting crackers.

शुजालपुर स्थित माँ शारदा सांदीपनि उच्चतर माध्यमिक विद्यालय में एसजीएसआईटीएस संस्थान द्वारा युवाओं को रोज़गारोन्मुखी कौशल प्रदान करने के उद्देश्य से आरंभ किए गए "रिश्ता (RISHTA : Recruiting Industries Supporting Holistic Training with Alignment)" योजना के पोस्टर का विमोचन किया।
यह योजना न केवल युवाओं के कौशल को निखारने का माध्यम है, बल्कि प्रदेश एवं देश की अवसंरचना विकास यात्रा में उनके योगदान को सुनिश्चित करने का एक महत्वपूर्ण प्रयास भी है। यह योजना, इंडस्ट्री रेडी मानव संसाधन तैयार करने की दिशा में महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका सुनिश्चित करेगी।
इस अवसर पर एसजीएसआईटीएस इंदौर के निदेशक डॉ नितेश पुरोहित, आईआईटी इंदौर के प्रोफेसर डॉ संतोष विश्वकर्मा, होलकर साइंस कॉलेज इंदौर के एचओडी डॉ प्रदीप शर्मा, जवाहरलाल नेहरू स्मृति शासकीय स्नात्तकोत्तर महाविद्यालय शुजालपुर के प्राचार्य डॉ राजेश शर्मा, माँ शारदा सांदीपनि विद्यालय शुजालपुर के प्राचार्य डॉ रजनीश त्रिवेदी एवं डॉ शिवपाल मेवाड़ा सहित विभिन्न प्रशिक्षक, शिक्षकगण, विद्यार्थी, स्थानीय जनप्रतिनिधिगण एवं अन्य गणमान्य जन उपस्थित थे।
Slavery point was brilliantly countered by @MumukshuSavitri and others.
Coming to the other three points,
1) Industrial Revolution that the west prides has been the root cause of pollution and global warming.
2) Raise the standard of living - Ushered a consumption driven life which again disrupted the sustainable local lifestyles
3) Education - Decapitated many Indigenous knowledge traditions in this blind rush to homogenize education.
Not saying We aren't benefitting from IR. But the Western civilisation treated the rest of the world as its personal laboratory for its destructive experiments. Any benefits that have come through are despite everything and are outweighed by the losses sustained by various world civilizations.
I thought Indian defence discussions, after some initial immaturity would move beyond the, “will GE share us its core engine technology?” , “will Dassault share source codes for its jet?” “Will Naval Group provide its sub data tables?”
And now these post Balakot post Sindhoor defence aficionados have also picked this up.
When did getting access to a foreign developed tech become an entitlement, Just because one pays money? You think R&D and IP creation is a simple process of pouring money and getting results? It takes creating an ecosystem. Identifying talents bringing them together trying a 100 & 1000 things and their failures persisting through and getting the elusive tech. In this, they’ve spent their political capital and their nation’s resources away from stuff.
While we spend on public welfare and later Come up with few Billion$$ and expect those nations to give it away for money? “We are a huge market, they will have to acquiesce” is a weird entitlement.
This is not just with the armed forces but DRDO too. While trying to sell a proprietary code for commercial use, as a sense of entitlement they’ll ask underlying equations which are trade secrets. I mean “LOL” are we idiots?
These efforts are the sum of generations of research built on top of each other. A previous research would contribute to “what to do” or “what not to do” in this research. R&D in Rafale came out of R&D in Mirages. It was not 0 —> 1.
It is a kind of a weird combo of national laziness and a sense of entitlement that we do not want to do these hard steps to develop own ecosystem but expect other nations to give it for money. Get off your high horse. If we are worth the civilisational state and regional power we claim we are then damn well invest in national R&D. No civilisation/nation state is entitled to greatness. It has to work to earn that technological dominance and ownership to build it across national power. Ask our leaders, not the foreign OEMs.
