@AbhiAttorney_ Namaste Mahodaya! Noted with sincerity. However, Ketu is debilitated in Taurus as per many classical books on Jyotishya. How can Ketu be strong in Vrishabha (Taurus) then? Pranam!
Launching India's biggest student fellowship program! 🇮🇳
Worked on this through my birthday last week - such was my excitement to get this live :)
The Polaris Fellowship - 10 students selected from across India to work with some of the best companies out there like @emergentlabs, Bain & Company, @BlumeVentures, Fam, https://t.co/lvESejboLo , InMobi, Classplus and more!
The best part: The selected fellows will be earning a fellowship stipend of 1 Lakh per month!
This is a co-residency program from Bangalore and the fellows get an opportunity to visit the HQ of every partner company.
The Applications are due by June 28th. And we have already started getting submissions from some of the best university students out there.
The shortlisting benchmarks are extremely high. So spend time drafting the answers for your application.
All the best - hope to see you in the founding cohort of The Polaris Fellowship!

@veejaysai Namaste Mahodaya! Could you kindly share the picture of Sri Lakshmi Ammavari inside the Sri Lakshmi Panakala Narasimha Swamy temple in Mangalgiri? If you have taken it. Pranam!
What beautiful it is to be inside a well managed park.
#RichardsTown park is small but beautiful ambience. Lot of parking and a Darshini nearby for a lotta of Kaapi too
Thanks @GBA_office & RWA there for maintaining it well
How one wishes that more such parks come up across @NammaBengaluroo
The two Gurus together transiting Cancer Ascendant, My Ascendant...
Time to connect with the Divine as much as possible... When the Gurus themselves are imparting knowledge, can we afford to miss the class Dear Cancer Ascendants...!?!
Gurur Bramha,
Gurur Vishnu,
Guru Devo Maheshwara
Guru Saakshaat Parabrahma,
Tasmaye Shri Guruve Namah 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
A new NH748A 4/6 lane highway is shaping up between Belagavi and Raichur, a part of the EC 10. Can unlock a lot of economic activities if the Industry, Power & Irrigation dept play well. Tourist sites along is an add on. @MBPatil@CommIndustries@IamGKumarNaik
India gave DRDO ₹29,100 crore this year, ~8.5% jump from last year. That same DRDO now asks an 11 year experienced scientist to work for ₹1.23 lakh basic pay per month.
In the private defense sector, a similar profile pulls ₹20 to 25 lakh a year, India has over 1000 defense startups funded through iDEX competing for the same engineers.
The government is building two industries at once, one that pays well and one that doesn't, and wondering why the second one struggles to hire.
India spent ₹68,210 crore on defense R&D over the last three years, In that same period, scientist pay bands stayed frozen at 7th Pay Commission levels set in 2016.
DRDO FY27 budget is ₹29,100 crore and ₹17,250 crore of that goes to capital spending on labs and equipment. The people who design those missiles and radars still get paid less than a mid tier software developer in Bangalore.
The R&D budget gets bigger every year but the salary structure stays ten years behind.
DRDO Flexible Complementing Scheme promotes scientists based on performance, not vacancy. That is rare in Indian government and it matters more than base pay for long careers.
A Scientist B can reach Scientist C in 3 to 4 years without waiting for someone to retire. DRDO always attracted people because of the mission, working on BrahMos, Tejas, AMCA.
But 2026 private defense companies now offer both interesting projects and 2x the compensation, and that changes the math for a young engineer choosing where to go.
To me all old manuscripts, documents, printed books, not to say other sources of history, are worthy of reverence and careful preservation - P.K. Gode

I’ve been cooking since 2004, but I’ve never made a dish quite like this before.
Over the years, I’ve cooked and tasted almost everything I could get my hands on, yet this one felt special. It took nearly an 1hr to cook.
The final result came out ❤️
Meet Vivek Borkar!
(One of India's top Mathematicians)
Working on the mathematical foundations of learning, optimization and decision-making under uncertainty.
> Completed his Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 1976
> Earned his MS from Case Western Reserve University in 1977
> Pursued his PhD at UC Berkeley under renowned control theorist Pravin Varaiya
> Worked as a visiting scientist at the University of Twente in the Netherlands
> Returned to India in 1981 and joined the TIFR Centre for Applicable Mathematics
> Later served as professor at IISc Bengaluru and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research
> Currently serves as Institute Chair Professor at IIT Bombay
> Elected Fellow of IEEE, AMS, TWAS and all three major Indian science academies
> Recipient of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize and the TWAS Prize
His research focuses on stochastic control, probability theory, reinforcement learning and dynamical systems.
> He is best known for introducing powerful analytical methods in stochastic optimal control
> The work that influenced modern learning algorithms, adaptive systems and decision-making models under uncertainty.
His books on stochastic approximation and probability theory are widely used by researchers working in control theory, machine learning and applied mathematics.
From IIT Bombay to becoming one of the world’s most respected minds in stochastic systems, Vivek Borkar’s journey shows how deep mathematics quietly shapes the technologies of the modern world.
