“There are three qualities to look for in a partner: intelligence, energy, and integrity. You need all three. You can't compromise on any one of them.”
— Naval Ravikant
The relationship between the Earth and the Moon is a dynamic orbital dance governed by gravity, primarily influenced by the Earth's mass.
While we often think of the Moon circling the Earth, both bodies actually orbit a shared center of mass.
The person you will be in 5 years depends on:
• the food you eat
• amount of exercise you do
• how much sleep per day
• books or articles you read
• how much more you write
• money you save and invest
• who you work with
• friends you spend time with
• new skills you develop
• asking for help when you’re stuck
• connections you make and keep
• promises you make and keep
• where and how far you travel
• doors you open for others
• knowing when to leave
• new habits you develop
• quitting the stuff that holds you back
From a Hindi-medium upbringing in Pratapgarh, Uttar Pradesh, to studying at Caltech and working as Richard Feynman’s teaching assistant, Professor Deepak Dhar’s journey is remarkable.
Now, the 74-year-old physicist has won the 2026 Dirac Medal for his contributions to statistical mechanics, an honour associated with the biggest names in theoretical physics, including Stephen Hawking.
Born in 1951, Dhar’s curiosity was nurtured by his father, who brought home science magazines. He studied at Allahabad University, earned his MSc from IIT Kanpur and later completed his PhD at Caltech.
After graduating, he chose to return to India instead of staying in the US. At TIFR, he spent decades advancing theoretical physics and mentoring generations of researchers.
His work has earned him honours. In 2022, he became the first Indian to receive the Boltzmann Medal, followed by the Padma Bhushan in 2023.
What started with science magazines brought home by his father led to global recognition for the questions he chose to pursue.

Meet Jainendrajeet, who is currently pursuing his https://t.co/WLFysD5zog in Computer Science at IIT Bombay. This guy scored only 54% in his 10th standard, yet cleared JEE Mains and JEE Advanced with an AIR 349.
In his 10th standard, he scored only 54%, with just 41/100 in Maths and 48/100 in Science, and he was trolled for his results.
But he didn't give up.
In JEE Main 2023, he scored a 99.98 percentile, and in JEE Advanced 2023, he secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 349 in the Open category and OBC Rank 54.
Never underestimate yourself. Your current results do not define your future.

We often speak of legacy. Few embody it as meaningfully as this.
My revered teachers, Dr. Nandita Bhattacharya Goswami and Dr. Pannalal Goswami, have devoted the earnings of a lifetime to building an institution that will inspire and educate generations to come.
As their student, I am profoundly humbled. They have shown that there is no greater inheritance than knowledge.
Spain’s entire budget will be destroyed by illegal migrants.
It’s basic math: if Spain offers free stuff to migrants that is above 90% of the living standard of Earth, they create a forcing function for 90% of Earth to move to Spain, which is around 7 billion people!
1/5: V Kamakoti, director of IIT Madras, is on the hot seat. Again. Since he was appointed as one of the six members of the task force created to reform the NTA, Opposition politicians just won’t let his past comments on gaumutra go.
2/5: At IIT Madras, Kamakoti built the institution’s chip design programme from scratch. Under his leadership, IIT Madras has reached significant milestones. In 2023, it became the first ever IIT to establish an offshore campus in Zanzibar.
3/5: But Kamakoti’s journey up the academic ladder has hardly been that of a stereotypical IIT topper. The man who went on to be the chairman of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) admits that he failed it once.
4/5: At a time when the ‘brain drain’ was sucking away talented Indian students to foreign universities, Kamakoti took a vow never to leave India. Even now, Kamakoti does not have a passport.
5/5: For more, read #ThePrintProfile by Janaki Pande
Kamakoti is not the typical IIT grad. No passport, failed JEE, and a brilliant scientist and institution-builder, he is now set to help reform the NTA

Solo travel can be intimidating — especially for those who dabble in worst-case-scenario thinking and decision paralysis.
But after a few trips on her own, Casey Gueren noticed that uncertainty started to feel less like a threat and more like the whole point. https://t.co/a5TxmW7t19
