A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

We're celebrating the 165th anniversary of the birth of a true great: Rabindranath Tagore, who was born #onthisday 7 May, in 1861 in Calcutta, India.

The first non-European literature laureate, he was awarded the #NobelPrize "because of his profoundly sensitive, fresh and beautiful verse, by which, with consummate skill, he has made his poetic thought, expressed in his own English words, a part of the literature of the West."

No sign of rain @ https://t.co/1rGK7q8Dnk during this time, but there was good spell of rain. Either https://t.co/1rGK7q8Dnk not able to capture everything correctly at this region, or it could be something else, including #artificial

Gratitude 🇫🇮 embassy for invite to meet the PM delegations tomorrow.

While I am humbled by the opportunity, am open to discuss with anyone who think of any venturing at Europe (am connected to couple of countries), be it technology partnership, or investment or anything else.

#immigration at airports must be properly trained and polite to welcome people, instead of showing ugly side of them!

Here is a Long discussion-thread on Govt of India owned SANCHAR SAATHI APP :

[Nikhil Pahwa @nixxin]

More bad news for mobile phone users in India (after SIM binding): Our government is mandating a government app (sanchar saathi) on every new phone, permanently, Reuters reports.

Will be pushed to your phone via OTA. New smartphones need to have it. Users cannot delete it. This is a first. India has never before required an unremovable state app on every device. Russia does btw, with its MAX Messenger (started September 2025).

A few comments regarding this:
1. Sanchar Saathi is a lost phone tracker, but if it gets embedded with no possibility of removal, it becomes a government tracker on your device.

IF the government is allowed to get away with this, what’s next? A mandatory digital ID app? Digiyatra forcefully installed on each device? An app that disables VPNs or tracks your app and browser history? An app that sends copies of your messages to the government once a month?

Once the OS layer is opened to the state, it doesn’t close.

2. Legally, one can argue that your mobile phone is your personal space, and this is an invasion of your personal space.

It’s where we have our most private conversations. Exchange sensitive information with people we trust.

How do we know this app isn’t used to access files and messaging on our device, which is unencrypted on device? Or a future update won’t do that? This is clearly an invasion of our privacy.

3. Remember how the government exempt itself from much of the Data Protection Law. This explains why.

The Data Protection Law will make private companies more accountable and the Indian government less accountable.

4. Bloatware is already an issue with some phones (It’s why I don’t use Samsung). Now there’s more, and this time the government is forcing bloatware. I guess we’ll all have to root our phones now. When you buy a phone with bloatware, you're choosing to buy it with bloatware. This is different.

5. The way things work with India’s Department of Telecom, there was no public consultation, the order wasn’t disclosed. Just forced. This is dictatorial in nature. If they get away with this, more will follow.

This thought is for pre-discussion / brainstorm before we meet at @tajpalacedelhi this week, on next generation reform agenda of the Government. The #structure must be updated, not only for education, but for #burreaucracy too @IASassociation

Outcome-Driven Research for #ViksitBharat2047 -A Policy Imperative
Eg, countries like #China hv enabled outcome-based engineering doctorates, allowing PhD candidates to graduate on the basis of wkng prototypes & deployable systems. After all, taxpayer's money used to fund PhD
