Jill-of-all-trades, meditator, love good humor and do my best to get all perspectives before I arrive at an opinion.

@AmazonHelp @amazonIN ok understand, thanks

[Smitha Murthy @SmithaOne]

Hello @amazonIN

I have received a package meant for someone else - the name, address are correct, but I have not ordered it, is not a gift.

Your contact-us feature was great. It has now become a nightmare to contact customer care.

No contact info in the below snippet too!

[Smitha Murthy @SmithaOne]

@AmazonHelp @amazonIN Thanks Sankita. This goes to 'Report a scam' page and not the required page.

1/ My three-volume history places the Indian subcontinent at the centre of world civilisation. On the question of continuity, it is the most impressive case on earth, and the one Western scholarship has most consistently underestimated.

2/ At Bhimbetka's 30,000-year-old paintings, a dancing deity with bangles and trident immediately recalls the dancing Shiva of today, as Michael Wood observed, and as I cite in my own work. A 14,000-year-old yoni stone near Allahabad was recognised on sight by local villagers. This demonstrates continuity. Therefore the seal is a middle chapter in the whole story.

3/ The argument that Indian sacred symbols require a Elamite or steppe source was constructed in the 19th century by Max Muller, who never visited India. He later called his 1,500 BC date for the Rig Veda 'merely hypothetical.' Subsequent historians copied the original date and ignored the retraction. Voltaire said 'everything has come to us from the banks of the Ganges.' He was wrong about most things but right about this.

@shiv_cybersurg Beautifully written.

Btw, my father did his PhD in the University of Saskatchewan in the 60s.

So have heard stories and seen photos of the snow.

He came back too. His mother had made him vow that he would not settle there😀

@soumithchintala Thank you Soumith for this response.

This monetization and engagement farming, armed with AI, has bred a league of lazy fakers

[Soumith Chintala @soumithchintala]

@heyrimsha i could definitely afford my own computer. my dad bought me one in 5th class.

clearly you're optimizing for engagement, but please don't make stuff up.
it does a disservice to people who actually don't have the privilege.

[Smitha Murthy @SmithaOne]

@PujyaSwamiji @Gurudev @ArtofLiving Swamiji, it was such a delight to have you with us. Your wisdom, love, simplicity and sense of humor enthralled the crowd.

No, the truck crossed the railway tracks at the wrong time, at a much lower speed than necessary. The locomotive is blameless and did not 'strike'.

[ABC News @ABC]

A locomotive struck a septic truck crossing the tracks in Chesapeake, Virginia, sending the truck flying and leaving the driver with life-threatening injuries. https://t.co/sVkx5pnhq4

Bengaluru: BSWML has launched 'DClutter' mobile app for doorstep collection of bulky waste such as old furniture, mattresses, cupboards, sanitary fittings & discarded clothes in Bengaluru. Such waste was often dumped on roadsides as it was not covered under regular collection. During a pilot drive, BSWML collected nearly 6,000 tonnes of bulky waste. Citizens can use the Android & iOS app to register, select items & schedule pickups for scientific recycling & disposal @BSWML_GBA

No wonder he touches so many hearts and endears himself to millions

Insightful thread

A historic moment for TN today as a non-DMK/ADMK CM will be sworn in after 50 years. Even expert pollsters missed reading the Vijay tsunami. This is no overnight success. He had carefully and consciously planned his politics in his films.

An unbiased 🧵on how Vijay won TN (1/n)

[Smitha Murthy @SmithaOne]

And then the so-called 'historians' wonder why they are not credible any more.

When your bias blinds you do much that you cannot do a simple fact check, it does not inspire high confidence in your version of history.

@YusufDFI This is quite bad.

Have you tried Porter?
