Sheikh Abdullah mobilised the Kashmiris against the "Mujahideen" with his slogan "hamla aawar khabardaar ham Kashmiri hain tayyaar"; strengthened Kashmir's accession to India; didn't let us become part of this "Azad Kashmir". We call him villain and traitor. Maqbool Bhat, Amanullah Khan and Yasin Malik sang to us lullabies of this "Azadi"; their epic song was "tum bhi utho ahle wadi. wattan hamara Azad Kashmir"; they got 1 lakh Kashmiris killed in pursuit of this kind of the "Azadi". We call them heroes. We are genius!
Today is #InternationalTigerDay
Wild #tiger population in #India;
2006: 1411 tigers
2010: 1706 tigers
2014: 2226 tigers
2018: 2967 tigers
2022: 3682 tigers
Today #India is home to 75% wild tigers of the world. With 58 tiger reserves.
Listen carefully to the cacophony of the entitled.
An MP born in Assam (though elected from Bengal) mimicking the Chair for his Assamese accent is crass.
If the word चर्चा (Charcha) is pronounced differently by Sh. @DilipSaikia4Bjp ji so what.
Inside Parliament just as in India we respect different languages.
President @BJP4Assam Saikia ji we take pride in you. 💪🏻
Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.

🎞️ Satte pe Satta (1982)
🎙️Pyar Hume kis mod
Kishore Kumar is in command & RD Burman is in his elements playing with tempo & creating new sounds using different singers -Bhupinder Singh, Sapan Chakraborty,Gulshan Bawra & RD himself.
My admiration of K L Saigal goes sky high, when I realise that this sad song is sung under technologically trying era of 1944 is a superb example of a raag based song. This song is a nice song set on Raag Bhairavi.
Personally, I love the portions of the song where K L Saigal sings “kya maine kiyaa hai, kya maine kiyaa hai”. Superb !
Now that I paid close attention to the song, I am quite impressed with the penmanship of Pt Bhushan and with the music of Pankaj Mullick.
Movie My Sister
Starring Saigal and Sumitra Devi.
