@Ankiii_i Hi

[Amit Paranjape @aparanjape]

Oops! 🙂

The IISERs are great young institutions, doing some excellent work in teaching & research. Do visit their campuses, if you get a chance. Upcoming 'National Science Day' (Feb 28) is a great opportunity.

And yes, unfortunately they not as well known as the IITs. They do need more PR for sure.

(Note - I regularly do my part 🙂...and have been tweeting about IISERs and @IISERPune for the past many years! ... Highlighting their excellent work)

@ShikharaBhat Memoryless property is so great way to motivate exponential distribution! I don't agree it is a "horror"!

Remembering the 'Ajinkya Yoddhaa' Bajirao Peshwa, on his 284th Punyatithi. Bajirao passed away on 28 April 1740, on the banks of Narmada.

Over his 20 year leadership (1720-40), he fought dozens of battles - and never lost a major one.

Bajirao further expanded the Maratha Empire into Central India, liberated North Konkan from the Portuguese rule, and successfully kept the Nizam at bay...defeating him multiple times.

A master of cavalry, his lightning strike on Delhi in 1737 was great example of his speed and strategy.

"(Bajirao) knew when to fight as well as where to fight. More important, he knew when not to fight. Mobility was Bajirao’s forte...." - @MulaMutha

When Valmiki completed his Ramayana, Narada wasn't impressed. 'It is good, but Hanuman's is better', he said.

'Hanuman has written the Ramayana too!', Valmiki didn't like this at all, and wondered whose Ramayana was better.

So he set out to find Hanuman.

In Kadali-vana, grove of plantains, he found Ramayana inscribed on seven broad leaves of a banana tree.

He read it and found it to be perfect. The most exquisite choice of grammar and vocabulary, metre and melody. He couldn't help himself. He started to cry.

'Is it so bad?' asked Hanuman..

'No, it is so good', said Valmiki..

'Then why are you crying?' asked Hanuman.

'Because after reading your Ramayana no one will read my Ramayana,' replied Valmiki.

Hearing this Hanuman simply tore up the seven banana leaves stating
"Now no one will ever read Hanuman's Ramayana.'"

Valmiki was shocked to see this action of Hanuman and asked him why he did this, Hanuman said, 'You need your Ramayana more than I need mine.

You wrote your Ramayana so that the world remembers Valmiki;
I wrote my Ramayana so that I remember Ram.'

At that moment he realized how he had been consumed by the desire for validation through his work.

He had not used the work to liberate himself from the fear of invalidation.

He had not appreciated the essence of Ram's tale to unknot his mind.

His Ramayana was a product of ambition;
but
Hanuman's Ramayana was a product of pure devotion & affection.

That's why Hanuman's Ramayana sounded so much better.

That is when Valmiki realized that "Greater than Ram .... is the name of Ram!"

There are people like Hanuman who don't want to be famous. They just do their jobs and fulfill their purpose.

There are many unsung "Hanumans" in our life too, our spouse, mother, father, friends, let's remember them and be grateful to all.

In this world, where everyone is highlighting his work and seeking validation, let us just do our karma because he who matters, the almighty God, knows without telling him and in the end, it is actually just he who matters.

In 2005, a nursing home in the US got a six-month-old kitten named Oscar as a therapy cat. The staff soon noticed something unusual about him.

Oscar often liked to be by himself, but sometimes he would go and lie next to one of the residents. Strangely, the resident he chose would often pass away within a few hours.

At first, the workers didn't think it was important, but after it happened 20 times, they started to think Oscar knew when someone was going to die. So, they began to call the resident's family if they saw Oscar with them.

Some people think Oscar could sense certain smells from dying cells, and that's why he went to comfort residents who were alone.

There was even a time when the staff thought one resident was going to die, but Oscar stayed with a different, healthier-looking person, who then died first.

Oscar lived until 2022 and was right about more than 100 deaths during his life.

@neeldhara The effort helps me in preparation for teaching immensely.

I will also tweet soon about my upcoming course! Thanks for this idea!

[Chandrasheel Bhagwat @bhagwatchandra]

@neeldhara I usually type lecture notes and share with students prior to lectures every week. I have got very positive feedback for this over last 5 years. Do you do a similar thing?

[Chandrasheel Bhagwat @bhagwatchandra]

@Nickkulk @AbhishBanerj Sounds like the movie Lagaan! WC 2023 is for that!

After conducting a fun session on arithmetic and geometry for @MSDEEDIISERPune teacher participants. The board in background has some interesting mathematical discussion about Pythagorean triplets, rational points on unit circle, and their classification using rational numbers.

@AdhesionLab @joybhattacharj During the 50 to 99, the live stat shows an extra fifty for the player and then it updates to one less fifty if the score reaches 100.
