There were once two boys who grew up in the ‘mean streets’ of New York, born one year and a few blocks apart. They weren’t from the poorest families but they were far from rich.

One of the boys was fully Italian, the other had an Italian father, and an Irish mother. Growing up, they saw ‘wiseguys’ and made men and gangsters in the street. They saw the gangs, even had friends who joined them... their early childhood was Goodfellas.

One of the friends was the son of an actress-turned-seamstress. The other was the son of a painter who had left his wife because he was gay — his mother had been an artist.

Not surprisingly, both kids inherited the ‘artistic gene’ from their parents and, from their fathers’ humble immigrant origins, a strong drive to make it in the world.

The two boys grew into men and went their separate ways. They met again in their twenties. The half-Irish one, the tallest and most handsome of the two, had gone to acting school and was now an actor known as Robert De Niro.

His friend, a creative fellow but too short for leading man status, was Martin Scorsese. Scorsese wanted to recreate the world they had grown up in and make it come to life for a young audience largely unfamiliar with it. Mean Streets. Taxi Driver. Raging Bull. The King of Comedy. Goodfellas.

Scorsese directed movies. De Niro acted in them. As it turned out, Scorsese was a damned fine director, and script writer. De Niro was a damn fine actor. They would come to define cinema in many ways, and put their mark on the genre of mafia films and organised crime drama like no one else before them, and no one else after.

You probably heard the news regarding Shani Louk.
I do - however - want to explain to you what happened.
This is Shani, by the way, 23 years old. A German-Israeli. She went to Nova music festival for a party.
She’s the one who was filmed on Saturday laying face down on a pickup truck. Naked. Her leg terribly broken and dislocated.
The crowd was seen spitting on her, poking her body. She was proudly paraded through Gaza.
In recent days, the IDF conducted missions in the north part of Gaza and the area surrounding the border.
Parts of Shani’s skull were found. She was partly beheaded.
After lab and DNA tests a panel of experts reached a conclusion that she was murdered and a formal message was delivered to her family.
She could have been your sister, your daughter, she could have been you.
Shani’s body is still being held by Hamas in Gaza along with 228 other hostages. The Red Cross is still not allowed to see them, no information regarding their condition was shared.

India's leap in financial inclusion, powered by Digital Public Infrastructure!

A G20 document prepared by the @WorldBank shared a very interest point on India's growth. India has achieved financial inclusion targets in just 6 years which would otherwise have taken at least 47 long years.

Compliments to our robust digital payment infrastructure and the spirit of our people. It is equally a testament to rapid progress and innovation. https://t.co/S9TliHSeOH

Funny when people think having a desire that our nation be addressed as Bharat is viewed as a political thing.
I am no fan of any particular political party. There are good people in both national parties and there are also very many incompetent people in both parties. I once again reaffirm i have never had , nor have any political aspirations. If i did have any, would have gladly accepted the last two LS elections from both parties. And if i had to , on-field achievements were enough to get a ticket from either party. Speaking heart out is different from political aspiration. My only interest is “Bharat” .
As for the United Opposition calling themselves I.N.D.I.A , they can very well call themselves B.H.A.R.A.T , there are very many creative people who can suggest apt full forms for the same. Congress even had a yatra called the Bharat Jodo Yatra. Unfortunately many people feel insecure of the word “Bharat” . In my view , irrespective of the alliance name, elections will be labelled between Modi vs the leader of opposition. May the best win.
It will just give me a great deal of satisfaction and fulfillment if we are addressed as a nation by the name “Bharat” .

The more I read recommendation letters, the less I want to rely on them.

Many people will disagree with me. But I will still say that:

I don’t know where the idea came from that being mean to people in your research group will lead to higher productivity, but it needs to end.

Not only is this unethical, but it is also ineffective. The best research happens when people are supported and treated with kindness.
