Feels unreal coming back after two years to this platform, after all there was a point where this platform had become my defacto note-taking app. Wish I could somehow get all my tweets back from then, but ig all for the better...

Paki losers be like “yay Indians have tacitly admitted loss of a fighter” and not focusing on the fact that their entire air defence lies in tatters, their air bases have been seriously damaged, their much vaunted counter strikes proved dud, their nuke bluff has been called, their deterrence has collapsed, their army knows it’s ass has been taken…but yeah go on celebrating a fighter or two being lost which is no big deal in any conflict as the Air Marshal very correctly said.

A problem we’re seeing with a lot of western analysis is they assume a repetition of the same old patterns - Pakistan escalates - India has to limit retaliation & accept a token re-retaliation and so provide an “off ramp”.

The issue is, Pakistan should have thought of an off ramp before starting this. India is now playing the role pakistan did in previous crises. The Pakistanis have never been in that situation, where they have to accept India having the final hit & the “experts” haven’t adjusted to the new realities either - esp the role reversal/usurpation…. or they have & are trying desperately to re-foist old realities.

I wish to remain in a university space, forever; not just because I want to keep learning, but I just don't want to unlearn.

@TheCinesthetic Reservoir Dogs is the most overrated cult film, and I don't care for any justification (oh it was ahead for its time in terms of dialogues or god knows what)

Has anyone read Logicomix? It's a comic book about the struggles of Bertrand Russell as he aims to resolve the fundamental problems of mathematics. There aren't many math comic books; but, could it be a way to engage the new generation and spark their interest in math?

I just heard the news that #DavidLynch has died. I knew he was sick but I hoped he might make a comeback. I feel lucky for all the time I got to spend with him, he was one of a kind. He was so smart, so creative, and he had a way of being very honest and direct that reminded me of how kids say things…innocent without doubletalk or bumpers. He was able to take an actor, and with a few simple directions, make him better.
It was David who made the first video for my song “Wicked Game.” I couldn’t get the money to make a video and David stepped in, directed, and got the ball rolling. He was a friend when I needed one. 
I always had fun working with David. Sometimes it was just us in the recording studio, other times on set filming. I remember he had just finished filming on “Fire Walk With Me” and I brought David a gift, a paintball gun. He took a few practice shots and somebody bet him he couldn't hit a wall clock at the far end of the set. He suddenly got very serious, focused, and BAM! Bullseye. I kind of carry that picture of him focused and hitting a bullseye. He was an amazing guy. I really liked him a lot. I think I’m gonna always miss him. 
Nobody like him.

Farewell Dr Singh! The one act of getting the nuclear deal through; even at the cost of jeopardising his government; puts him right up there with the finest sons of Mother India.

🙏🏾 OM SHANTI & THANK YOU SIR 🙏🏾

At IISc Rohini used to be on her cycle, full of energy. She held the baton of particle physics for three decades. She was strong willed and looked at science from the perspective of her field and thus was quite subjective at times. She will be missed in Indian physics.
