The PIL challenging the North–South Tunnel Road project was listed before the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka today.
As the matter was unlikely to reach during the course of the day, I requested the Hon’ble Chief Justice for a short date.
The Hon’ble Chief Justice was pleased to list the matter for hearing on 6 July 2026.
Why should the taxpayers fund a system that the lawmakers themselves avoid?
It's time for a law: Netas & Babus must send their children to government schools and get their families treated at government hospitals. No private luxuries, no going abroad for studies or treatment!
If the system isn't good enough for those who run it, it isn't good enough for the common Indian who is one medical emergency away from bankruptcy.
Let’s force accountability. Share this until it reaches the parliament.
Bayes’ theorem is probably the single most important thing any rational person can learn.
So many of our debates and disagreements that we shout about are because we don’t understand Bayes’ theorem or how human rationality often works.
Bayes’ theorem is named after the 18th-century Thomas Bayes, and essentially it’s a formula that asks: when you are presented with all of the evidence for something, how much should you believe it?
Bayes’ theorem teaches us that our beliefs are not fixed; they are probabilities. Our beliefs change as we weigh new evidence against our assumptions, or our priors. In other words, we all carry certain ideas about how the world works, and new evidence can challenge them.
For example, somebody might believe that smoking is safe, that stress causes mouth ulcers, or that human activity is unrelated to climate change. These are their priors, their starting points. They can be formed by our culture, our biases, or even incomplete information.
Now imagine a new study comes along that challenges one of your priors. A single study might not carry enough weight to overturn your existing beliefs. But as studies accumulate, eventually the scales may tip. At some point, your prior will become less and less plausible.
Bayes’ theorem argues that being rational is not about black and white. It’s not even about true or false. It’s about what is most reasonable based on the best available evidence. But for this to work, we need to be presented with as much high-quality data as possible. Without evidence—without belief-forming data—we are left only with our priors and biases. And those aren’t all that rational.
Legendary actor Dharmendra passed away yesterday after a brave battle. He had been receiving treatment at Mumbai’s Breach Candy hospital.
Did you know that the tune of this song from 'Anupama' (1966) was actually composed 4 years earlier for another film? #DharmendraDeol 1/9
We cannot understand the true nature of the Universe, unless we question deeply.
I want to know what is real, even if the answer is total obliteration of my consciousness.
@PCMohanMP I hope even this does not turn out to be just another plain announcement like suburban railway… The Prime Minister promised 36 months ago that trains will start in 40 months!!
In just a few hours, PSG will face Inter Milan—one of Italy’s most iconic clubs—in the UCL final. Indian fans have long held a soft spot for Italian football, yet few remember that it was a group of Italians who sparked Bengaluru’s passion for the game. Thread
