Rabindranath Tagore was the OG Nita Ambani.

Like Antilla, Tagore's house in Jorasanko was the hangout of the rich and famous - like Sukumar Ray, PC Sorcar Sr, etc.

Like Jio University and Vantara, Tagore used his immense wealth to set up a world class interdisciplinary university called Viswa Bharati and the lush green sanctuary called Santiniketan.

Cultural performances at Tagore's properties were no less than the mellifluous and graceful recitals at the NMACC and Antilla today.

Just like Nita Ambani is a world class danseuse, Tagore sang and wrote poetry.

Just like DAIS has produced Beer Biceps, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen was educated in the Santiniketan ecosystem.

Just like Nita Ambani, Rabindranath Tagore too traveled extensively around the world, bringing the best back to India.

What is interesting is that the Tagore family's descendants today are loyal servants of Nita Ambani. Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Soha Ali Khan are present at all Antilla events as support staff.

History repeats itself.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

-Theodore Roosevelt

@greatbong Won't work in India. It would considered as 'discrimantory branding' and 'subjective labeling'. Will be challenged in courts. The general policy of branding and shaming does not work in India.

A lot of us have this “migrant mindset”

People who moved out of their birthplace after finishing school, coz there were no jobs or higher education, develop this muscle memory. Not overtake rashly, or have a staring contest with a driver on the road, or shout at a waiter, or a cabbie, or anyone who’s a localite. The attitude is always of de-escalation, of reconciliation. Might sound cowardly, but this is how they survive. They always look at the positive side, enjoying the fruits. And ignoring the barbs. Such people when they occasionally travel to another alien land, they never have issues, coz they are conditioned to survive. To co-exist.

IIT Madras wants faculty to procure 7 lakhs per year in funds to support their postdoc.

This will make it very hard for postdocs in basic sciences to be hired in IITM, as grants are smaller and fewer.
