I must thank my father for this. I was on a similar path, thought that I'd name it to the big league in swimming. Timely cautioning by my father led me to pursue studies seriously.

U will one day appreciate ur parents for not letting u pursue whatever sports/singing/dramatics hobby u had & instead made u focus on formal education

Boomer parents had called the bluff on “following passion “

A 15-year-old dream has come true today. I started a PhD with the dream of creating a system that chants any Sanskrit shloka perfectly.

And here I am opening sourcing 𝐕𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐮 - 𝐀 𝐯ṛ𝐭𝐭𝐚 (𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫) 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 ś𝐥𝐨𝐤𝐚-𝐭𝐨-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐱𝐭-𝐭𝐨-𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐜���� (TTS) 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐤𝐫𝐢𝐭. This is the world's first vrutta-aware, open-source TTS for Sanskrit Chanting.

Same is true about almost every product that is manufactured by Tata. They think that the TATA name can mask product shortcomings.
My experience with Voltas AC at home has been horrible. Even the AC technician says that voltas makes poor quality ACs.

[Niks @Pivot2Centre]

TATA had a monopoly in trucks and buses. Ashok Leyland was a small player.

TATA never invested much in tech for these vehicles. The chassis for the truck and the bus was same.

The driver seat is uncomfortable. The blind spots are plenty and big. Tech wise, these are old.

Security of the Prime Minister of India is of utmost importance. Such optics are unnecessary and dangerous. He should not let the opposition set the narrative and continue travelling with his full convoy.

#WATCH | Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reduced his convoy size significantly. Reduction in vehicles was done while maintaining essential security components as per SPG protocol.

All the 5 Mangeshkar siblings (Lata, Asha, Usha, Mina, Hridaynath) are singing epic ने मजसी ने परत मातृभूमीला, सागरा प्राण तळमळला written by “father of all the generations of indian revolutionaries” Swatantryaveer Savarkar with an extreme devotion.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Asha Bhosle Ji, one of the most iconic and versatile voices India has ever known. Her extraordinary musical journey, spanning decades, enriched our cultural heritage and touched countless hearts across the world. Be it her soulful melodies or vibrant compositions, her voice carried timeless brilliance. I’ll always cherish the interactions I’ve had with her.

My condolences to her family, admirers and music lovers. She will continue to inspire generations and her songs will forever echo in people’s lives.

भारतातील सर्वात ख्यातनाम आणि अष्टपैलू आवाजांपैकी एक असलेल्या आशा भोसले जी यांच्या निधनाने अतिशय दुःख झाले. त्यांच्या अनेक दशकांच्या अद्वितीय संगीत प्रवासाने आपल्या सांस्कृतिक वारशाला समृद्ध केले आणि जगभरातील असंख्य लोकांच्या मनाला स्पर्श केला. भावपूर्ण गीतांपासून ते जोशपूर्ण संगीत रचनांपर्यंत, त्यांच्या आवाजात कालातीत तेज होते. त्यांच्याशी झालेल्या संवादांच्या आठवणी मी सदैव जपून ठेवेन.

त्यांच्या कुटुंबीयांना, चाहत्यांना आणि संगीतप्रेमींना माझ्या भावपूर्ण संवेदना. त्या पुढील पिढ्यांना प्रेरणा देत राहतील आणि त्यांची गाणी सदैव लोकांच्या आयुष्यात गुंजत राहतील.

Honoring the valiant sacrifices made by Sadashivrao Bhau and around 100,000 other Marathas - 265 years ago that fateful day (January 14, 1761) on the plains of #Panipat, over 1,500 km away from their homes.

They died defending the country against a foreign invader, in what was one of the single biggest battle of the 18th century, globally.

What Indigo has pulled here is nothing short of a huge scam.

They have been selling tickets, charging for extras such as seat bookings and other services knowing all along that massive cancellations will take place! Thousands of travelers including senior citizens and small children were left stranded at airports, with no intimation of when their flight would leave. Then the flight was cancelled after several hours. No compensation or support to those stranded for this trash of an airline!

@MoCA_GoI @DGCAIndia should haul them over the coals for this blatant disregard. Several resounding slaps and large fines and penalties must be levied on this arrogant, monstrous monopolist of a company @IndiGo6E.

The Coastline Paradox

[Sunita Sayammagaru 🇮🇳🇬🇧 @drsunita02]

I would politely disagree.

1) Upasana is 36 years old now ( born 1989) Ram Charan is 40 years old (born 1985) . They were best friends since college and they married in 2012. So, Upasana was 23 years when she got married and he was 27 years old.

They married young. And she is advising women to first focus on career!!! And if any sane woman follows her advise, she will end up marrying late, if at all she finds a husband at that late age!!!

2) Egg freezing is not an insurance for women. Even if the woman freezes her eggs, there is no guarantee that this would translate into a successful embryo transfer and successful pregnancy

As a woman grows old, there are many health factors which would prevent a successful embryo transfer and implantation.

3) She asks women to grow wealthwise, health wise and relationship wise- she mentions this order. If a woman has to grow wealth wise first, she may not necessarily have time to focus on her health and relationships either.

So what's the point in freezing eggs? Refer point 2 again.

3) Why can't marriage and career go hand in hand? Why are both mutually exclusive to each other?

What career did she have as a 23 year old female when she got married to RamCharan? She made a career after marriage.

4) She is NOT the average woman.

I have mentioned time and again that the average women shouldn't follow these rich people blindly.

Career goal posts keep changing constantly. It's like mirage. Once one goal post is reached, a next one appears. One shouldn't keep personal relationships on hold for career.

We have all our life to progress in career. But we have only a limited time to seek relationships and to experience motherhood.

5) And thank God for those guys who want to get married. You guys are still sane. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

She truly had a chance to inspire youngsters. And she threw it away. She should have suggested to both those young men and women to seek companionship, and make a family and grow in their career, to have shared goals and not chase individual goals

Expensive real estate destroys demographics. Any society that traps its young people in debt, because of expensive education or expensive housing or expensive health care (or all of the above in many cases) is a society that is destroying its own demographic future.

If you love children, enable lower cost of living for prospective parents.
