#Electoralbond donations were not about ideological loyalty to any party, my analysis suggests.

Out of 263 cos that bought bonds more than once, only 91 fall on the 'loyalty line' (same party every time).

Please, read books. Not just captions, or carousel posts, or what made it to the top of your feed. Read books. Long ones. Complex ones. You cannot build a mind with weight on the back of social media ephemerals. Intellectual depth demands patience.

#ICYMI Check out this big, beautiful story by @TanaySukumar who plotted sleep patterns of nearly half a million people from the nationally-representative Time Use Survey.

As it turns out, young women tending to household chores and childcare have a piling sleep debt.

.@TanaySukumar pulling a proper Hans Rosling, asking people questions about fundamental demographic stats as he begins his talk. Never thought a data journalist would be lecturing at a pub in South Delhi.

We must introduce ‘Probability’ in our school curricula at a very early stage. Very few people (including experts) understand CHANCE and UNCERTAINTY in our lives. @ncert

The upward trend among girls choosing Science reflects changing aspirations of Indian families, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns.

It suggests that parents are supporting girls in pursuing STEM careers once considered less accessible.
