I would rather be Pirsig or Chomsky or Pinker or Higgins/ Dawkins or Cārvāka if I could choose. But looks like that's too high a bar. Got the same result twice with different answers. https://t.co/J4nSmyYnHO
Neville D’Souza scored a hat-trick in this match, becoming the first Indian and the first Asian to achieve the feat at the Olympics. He also finished as the joint top scorer at the 1956 Olympics.
Fast forward to 2026, and the Neville D’Souza Ground in Bandra is being converted into a convention centre by the BMC.
What a way to honour one of India’s greatest footballing pioneers. @Dev_Fadnavis@mansukhmandviya@praful_patel
Holy shit.
Maradona in 2018 on the day the World Cup 2026 was awarded to USA, Mexico and Canada, goes on saying:
“They will do 4 quarters of the game instead of two halves so to put commercials, you’ll see”
@sidhshuk Even if all garbage was correctly collected, piled and even segregated, it wud most probably be burnt in open air at end of day. There is 0 waste mgmt at local body level, esp in mountain & tourist areas. Local bodies & govts must do their part in addition to tourists & locals

Honestly? Eggs, but not for the reason this infographic wants you to pick.
That “52g protein” is dry soya chunks. Once you soak them they triple in weight and you’re chewing through a wet sponge to hit that protein count. Eggs are weighed as eaten. You’re comparing a dehydrated food to a ready to eat one.
Also egg protein is the gold standard for absorption. Soy is good, but antinutrients eat into that 52g before your muscles ever see it. Grams on paper is usually never grams that count unless you are dealing with animal protein.
And “0.5g fat = win” is just circa 1980s anti-fat panic. The yolk’s fat is where the vitamin D, B12 (not available from plant sources) and choline are present.
Soy chunks are great source of cheap protein, and it’s also perfect for those that choose not to eat eggs for religious or vegan reasons. But for anyone that eats both, the choice is obvious
🚨 Big news!
HackerFab IITB is hosting a free webinar on how to build your own HackerFab.
Any college student in India interested in getting hands-on undergrad experience with chip fabrication needs to attend this.
It's happening tomorrow, June 28th (Sunday) at 5 PM IST.
The egg is 75% water and the chana is nearly fully dry, so you are really comparing 13g of dry egg matter with about 47g of dry chana.
This is also why the egg is 70 kcal and the chana is closer to 300 kcal for the same serving.
And on top of that, protein quality of egg is much better. To be clear, eat both, and if one has personal religious reasons to avoid eggs, do that, but this comparison is silly.
India is about to face a MAJOR semiconductor bottleneck.
The Government of India has approved ~13 semiconductor projects under the India Semiconductor Mission, across 7 states. Three of these are full/compound fabs. Things are ramping up FAST, with ISM supported by an incentive framework of ₹76,000 crore.
But one massive question mark remains: where is the talent going to come from? The money is there. The fabs are going to be there soon. But what about the many thousands of skilled technicians required to run these semiconductor fabrication plants? Much of the knowledge in this industry is tightly-guarded trade secrets kept under lock and key by the nations that lead global semiconductor production.
One way India can quickly close this knowledge gap is by ensuring that young people across the country are learning how to fabricate semiconductors from first principles. Ideally at the university level if not earlier. But because this is an entirely new industry segment in India, most of the country’s top colleges haven't caught up. Semiconductor fabrication is not accessible to Indian students. Until the Graduate or PhD level, most students never even get to touch a silicon wafer.
A group of 15 students at IIT Bombay wants to change this. 10 months ago they launched the HackerFab at IIT Bombay. So far, they’ve raised ₹30 lakh to built DIY machines like a DLP-based lithography machine, a tube furnace to oxidise silicon, and a DC plasma sputter.
They realised that existing institutions weren’t going to give them the early education they needed to develop REAL chip fabrication experience, so they took up the challenge themselves and created everything from scratch.
HackerFab IITB is one of the most important developments in India’s semiconductor story, not just because the students passing through this programme will become leaders in India’s future semiconductor industry, but because they’re open-sourcing the India-specific recipes they’ve developed to build their machines and processes. They’re doing this so that other Indian colleges can replicate their work. No more gatekeeping.
This movement started at IIT Bombay, but it will spread to other Indian colleges soon. As a result, India will see young people graduating from college with practical semiconductor fabrication experience first the very first time.
That is not “direct poison”. It’s the egg’s membrane. In fact, there are 2 membranes - one that is attached to the inside of the shell and one wrapped around the egg white. It offers additional protection against microbial attack in case there is a crack in the shell.
Fun fact: it’s not only edible, it’s made of collagen, and many collagen supplements are made from this membrane.
Even more fun fact: in very fresh eggs, the membrane sticks to the egg white and is harder to remove. As the egg gets older, the membrane is easier to remove from the boiled egg.
The egg is one of nature’s most accomplished works. A single, self-contained marvel, packed with every protein the body craves, brimming with vitamins and fats laid down to nourish new life. And yet, in the modern poultry farming context, IT IS PURELY VEGETARIAN because an unfertilised egg hosts no life, just the raw material to nourish it. Cracked into a hot pan, it firms into culinary gold. Whipped, it rises into airy clouds. Coddled, poached, folded into the silkiest of custards, or scrambled into bhurji, it bends endlessly to the cook’s will. Few things on this Earth give so generously, in so many guises. This, surely, is perfection in miniature. The greatest single ingredient in the kitchen.
Eggs are the cheapest and most convenient form of protein for India's protein deprived children in government schools. This CON job of ritual "purity" at the expense of child nutrition, must cease.
Huge story. @thehindu's @pv_srividya examines farmers' charges that Tata's iPhone factory is discharging effluents into their farmlands -- and finds worrying details + a coverup. https://t.co/mxQITynhGx
PS: Why is this story only in the Tamil Nadu edition, @thehindu?
Tal se Tal Mila. By the way, my son is devouring @GothamChess’s book gifted by his grandfather, and I should too if it’s anywhere as exciting and insightful as this.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi is 15 years old, and I fear the people around him are setting him up to fail.
That is what bothered me most about today.
Let me walk you through what happened in Dambulla.
India A batted first. Vaibhav came out and did what he does, 21 off 14 balls, hitting like the game owed him money. And then he was gone. Both openers back in the hut for 39. The middle order folded after that. It looked like India A would not even reach 150.
Then two lower order boys, Suryansh Shedge with 72 and Vipraj Nigam with 51, fought back and dragged the team to 265. Decent score.
But somewhere in the middle of that fightback, Vipraj Nigam ran straight down the protected middle of the pitch. The umpires warned the team. Then he did it again.
The rule gives 5 runs to the other side each time. So Sri Lanka A started their innings with 10 runs already gifted to them.
The match ended up tied. It went to a super over. Sri Lanka won it.
The behaviour around all of this is the real worry.
Tilak Verma stood there arguing with the umpires, going on and on about the fading light. Vaibhav got pulled into an ugly face off with the Sri Lankan players, then lost his temper completely after the game.
And in the super over, chasing 17, the team somehow did not send Vaibhav, their most explosive hitter, to face the first ball.
Now let's pause for a moment and take a look at the kid in the middle of all this.
Vaibhav is 15. He won the Orange Cap in the IPL. He can hit any bowler in the world over any boundary. The talent is not in question and never has been.
The environment around him off late has been questionable.
A 15 year old does not know how to handle this much pressure and this much attention on his own. That is not his job. That is the job of the coaches, the seniors, the management.
They are supposed to be the calm adults in the room. They are supposed to cool him down when he is boiling, set the batting order properly and stop him before he ends up in pushing and shoving on the field.
Today they did the opposite. They let the tempers run. They let a teenager get dragged into a fight. They left him out of the most important six balls of the game.
Instead of shielding him, they let him soak up all the chaos around him.
This is how you ruin a special talent. You surround a young kid with people who lose their heads, who argue, who chase drama, and one day the kid starts copying all of it.
He stops being the boy who smiles and clears the ropes and becomes just another hot headed player who melts when the game gets tight.
We have seen this movie before in Indian cricket. Huge teenage talent, wrong people around him, and five years later everyone is asking what went wrong. Yes, I am looking at your Prithvi.
Vaibhav is too good to let that happen to him.
Please, please, put steady heads around this boy. Senior players who calm him down, coaches who teach him to walk away, a setup that protects him from his own age.
Give him the right people, and he becomes a generational batter. Give him this, and we will waste him.
@anishgiri@MagnusCarlsen This will help reduce the number of matches decided on penalties which are a lottery. And reward consistency/ most wins throughout the tournament. Make the group stages if long tournaments more exciting.
Football tournaments have too many draws even in knockouts/ deciders. The format needs to evolve. Learn from #chess. 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw in round robin. For knockouts, 2 halves of 30/ 40 minutes each followed by 30 minute extra time with golden goal armageddon.
Again all draws.
They have to shorten the time controls and make the game more interesting for the general public.
Also terrible broadcasts with too many breaks. No excitement or stories behind the players. Football should learn from chess.
@anishgiri@MagnusCarlsen Reward consistency. Only the teams with most wins at the group stage shall advance to the knockouts. Table toppers advance on win in the knockouts. The next tier among the consistent get another opportunity on a loss like repechage (or qualifier before eliminators in IPL cricket)
