On this auspicious day of Ashada Ekadashi, I am very happy to announce the launch of my humble attempt to make history interesting.

The idea is actually very very simple
You go to the site, select a year, and It will show you who ruled which part of India at that point in time.
@thekaipullai Please include the Modern day Pakistan, Bangladesh and part of Myanmar (as a separate layer) which were hitherto Indian Territory, to convey the Conquest in more meaningful terms.
@singhsahana Significant Infrastructure of IIT Hyderabad has been guided and supported by the Govt. of Japan and the specifically, the University of Tokyo.
The impressions are all over the Place.
🚨 Watch | A family from South Africa visited Kerala and had food at Samridhi Restaurant in Kochi.
The Kochi Corporation-run restaurant serves unlimited meals for just ₹20 ($0.21).
They enjoyed eating with their hands and said the food was “absolutely delicious.”
@theskindoctor13 The case is really horrific but equally difficult is to assume that Local Law and Order Establishment didn't had a hint of ongoing situation.
Then, it's an act of Collusion with Perpetrators.
Enquiry Officials shouldn't be from the same establishment.
@RuxandraTeslo The Place had an Address:
DAIMARYU: Daimyos (Modern Otemachi) + Marunouchi + Yurakucho
And, this was the First Order of Development in the Edo Area.
Vultures eat anthrax, botulism, rabies, and cholera for breakfast.
Their stomach acid is among the most corrosive in the animal kingdom, with a pH around 1, low enough to dissolve the bones, hide, and pathogens of dead animals that would kill almost anything else.
A vulture eating a diseased carcass isn't a vector for disease, it's a terminus. The disease chain ends in the vulture's gut, and that's pretty hardcore.
When vulture populations crashed in India in the 1990s, rotting livestock carcasses sat where vultures used to clean them.
Feral dogs and rats took over the cleanup, both of which actually do spread rabies. Researchers later linked the vulture collapse to roughly 500,000 deaths in India over the following decade.
The same collapse is now underway in sub-Saharan Africa. Six of eleven African vulture species are threatened with extinction, primarily from poisoned poaching baits.
The animals nobody finds cute are doing more public health work than most of the species we actively protect.
🚨 A Japanese minister arrived 5 minutes late — and apologized to the entire country
A minister in Japan arrived five minutes late to a meeting with the Prime Minister and immediately issued a public apology to the people.
Speaking to the press, she explained that the delay was caused by traffic congestion. In a country where punctuality is taken very seriously, even a small delay can lead to a public explanation.
MIT professor accidentally leaked his NotebookLM grading system during a Zoom call.
Dude forgot to turn off screen share and we watched him grade 47 essays in 12 minutes.
Here's what he was doing that blew my mind.
He uploaded all student papers plus his original rubric into NotebookLM. Then asked it to "evaluate each paper against these specific criteria and flag any that deviate from expected patterns."
But the crazy part was his follow-up prompt.
"Now cross-reference writing styles with previous submissions and highlight potential academic integrity concerns." The AI caught three cases of weird style shifts he would've missed on his own.
Final step killed me. He asked NotebookLM to "generate personalized feedback that connects each student's weak points to specific course materials they should review."
What took him 6 hours before now happens in 15 minutes. And students get better feedback than his handwritten comments ever provided.
The man turned grading from torture into actual teaching.
हारे हुए लोग कहाँ जायेंगे ? ?
हारे हुए लोगों के लिए कौन दुनिया बसाएगा ?
उन पराजित योद्धाओं के लिए ,
तमाम शिकस्त खाए लोगों के लिए।
प्रेम में टूटे हुए लोग,
सारी जिंदगी को कहीं दांव लगाकर हारे हुए लोग
थके-हारे लोग, गुमनाम लोग
वो बूढ़े पिता जो अब अकेले रह गए हैं
वो कल्पनाओं में खोया रहने वाला बच्चा
जो परीक्षा में फेल हो गया है
वो लड़की जो तेज कदमों से घर की तरफ लौट रही है
वो बूढ़ा गुब्बारे वाला जो कांपते हाथों से पैसे गिनता है
एक असफल लेखक
मैच हार गया खिलाड़ी
इंटरव्यू से वापस लौटा युवा
और ऐसे तमाम लोग
जिन्हें पता था कि वे सफल हो सकते हैं
मगर उन्होंने असफलताओं से भरा रास्ता चुना,
वो लोग जिन्होंने
हमेशा गलत राह पर चलने का जोखिम उठाया
वो लोग जिन्होंने
गलत लोगों पर भरोसा किया
वो जिन्होंने
चोट खाई, धोखा खाया, ठोकर खाई
गिरे और धूल झाड़कर खड़े हुए
वे कहां जाएंगे ?
क्या कोई ऐसी दुनिया होगी
जहां दो हारे हुए इंसान
एक-दूसरे की हथेलियां थामे
कई पलों तक खामोश रह सकते हों
अपनी चुप्पी में तकलीफ बांटते हुए।
जिन्होंने इकारस की तरह
सूरज की तरफ उड़ान भरी
और उनके पंख पिघल गए
हारे हुए लोगों के लिए कोई जगह नहीं है
न किसी घर में, न समाज में, न किसी देश में।
क्या जो विजेता थे
वो इनसे बेहतर हैं? बेहतर थे?
नहीं, वही हारा जिसने जिंदगी की अनिश्चितता पर यकीन किया
वही जिसने अनजान रास्तों पर चलने का जोखिम उठाया
जिसने गलती करनी चाही , जो मक्कार चुप्पियों के पीछे छिपा नहीं।
जो बोल सकता था मगर बोला नहीं
उसने वो चुना जिसे चुनने का कोई तर्क नहीं था
सिवाय उसकी आत्मा के
जो हारा आखिर वो भी एक नायक था।
एक पराजित नायक के दर्द को
कौन समझना चाहेगा?
जाएंगे कहाँ सूझता नहीं
चल पड़े मगर रास्ता नहीं
क्या तलाश है कुछ पता नहीं
बुन रहे हैं दिल ख़्वाब दम-ब-दम।

@sumitsaurabh There's a need to draft do's/don'ts videos which must be watched and complied right at the Indian Immigration before departure.
Should have threats like revocation of facilities in case of violations.
In the era of 24 Hrs Social Media feeds, such acts charge up the Narratives.
