The transformation of Bangalore is happening fast - as a true blue Bangalorean, we truly are hopeful once again - perhaps for the first time in at least 20 years!

Last week, I had a flat at home and had to walk to office - for the first time in 5 years, I felt we had a full footpath to walk along.

I applaud Shri @krishnabgowda for grabbing the bull by the horns and making a sisncere effort to address the key issues in Bangalore:

1) Roads & potholes - ensuring that we have good clean lanes for traffic to flow
2) Footpaths - which are not just about inconveniencing pedestrians but also with people parking cars to shop
3) Garbage pickup - a major cause for so many other issues
4) Flooding and drainage of roads
5) Traffic issues - which is partially related to all of the above issues

A few things that need to scale concurrently will be "enforcement of no-parking".

And perhaps in true PPP spirit, getting corporates or Rotary Clubs or other NGOs to adopt 1km of the sidewalks and both maintain them and ensure they are clean and functional.

Onwards!!!

The internet was busy debating jantar Mantar & a quiet facility in India witnessed something straight out of science fiction. An engine fired up. But it did not hum & it did not roar like a normal jet.

It detonated. Continuous supersonic shockwaves raced around a circular chamber 1000s of times/sec, harnessing controlled explosions to generate thrust.

The startup D-Propulse just gave the world a sneak peek of their air-breathing Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) with an integrated aerospike nozzle.

Every jet engine on a commercial airliner, every fighter jet & every rocket we have ever seen operates on deflagration. We mix fuel with air/oxygen, ignite it & it burns relatively slowly at subsonic speeds. It is effective, but humanity has pushed this tech to its absolute physical limits.

RDEs throw that century-old playbook into the fire. Instead of burning fuel smoothly, an RDE explodes it intentionally. A continuous detonation wave sweeps around an annular (ring-shaped) channel at supersonic speeds, reaching over 2000 m/s. This is called Pressure-Gain Combustion.

It extracts 15-25% more thermal efficiency out of the exact same amount of fuel. In the world of high-speed flight, a 25% jump in efficiency is a completely different league.

Why this Matters for India?

For decades, the narrative surrounding Indian engineering was tied to catching up on legacy systems, spending billions trying to replicate 1970s turbofan engine metallurgy/importing critical defense tech.

D-Propulse is proving that India does not need to play catch-up anymore.

By leapfrogging straight to Pressure-Gain Combustion, an Indian deep-tech startup, guided by veteran scientists & built by young engineers is standing on the frontlines alongside research labs in the US, Japan & China.

Imagine hypersonic cruise missiles, ultra-long-range combat drones & spaceplanes that do not need heavy, complex moving turbopumps to break speed records. That is the realm this technology unlocks.

The future does not belong to those who build better versions of old machines. It belongs to those who rewrite the physics of how machines work.

kimi k3 + hermes finds local businesses with ugly or zero websites, builds them a real one and sends the owner a loom-style video of it

i sold my first website on literally my first dm, just off a loom video

the system you can run as a one-person agency:

- it scrapes one niche off google maps and flags everyone without a site
- it keeps only rated, reviewed, still-alive businesses
- pulls the owner's name from review replies
- kimi k3 writes each site from their real reviews, nothing invented
- a face-cam walkthrough plays over the new site
- the owner clicks, sees their business look professional, claims the site

every step from sourcing to outreach is fully automated

reply "SITE" + RT and i'll send you a free guide so you can build this too (must be following so i can DM you)

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

THE ANSWER: B) Damp, poorly stored peanuts.

​I will never forget a patient we managed on the medicine wards. It was during my 2nd year of internal medicine residency. They presented with advanced liver cancer (HCC), but had absolutely zero history of alcohol abuse. We were scratching our heads until we dug deeper into their lifestyle and history.

​It turned out to be a devastating combo: an old, silent Hepatitis B infection and a lifetime of eating poorly stored, damp grains and peanuts.

​When peanuts, corn or grains sit in warm, humid pantries, they get colonized by an invisible mold called Aspergillus. This mold produces Aflatoxin B1....one of the most potent natural carcinogens on the planet.

Once eaten, this toxin binds directly to your DNA and destroys your p53 gene...the body's main security guard against tumors. Without it, liver cancer grows silently.

​The worst part? You CANNOT destroy Aflatoxin by cooking, roasting or boiling. It is completely heat-stable.

Store your nuts and grains in airtight containers in a cool, dry place or the fridge. Don't risk your liver over a stale peanut!

[Dr. Priyam Bordoloi @DocPriyamMD]

Answering it immediately as it's better if more people get to know. The answer is C.

Let’s break down the science and bust those other massive myths.

• ​First, cell phones and microwaves DO NOT cause cancer. They emit non-ionizing radiation, meaning they physically do not have enough energy to damage your cellular DNA.

• Deodorants are also a myth; there is no solid evidence linking antiperspirants to breast cancer.

• ​But drinking beverages hotter than 65°C (149°F) is a completely different story.

​When you constantly drink piping hot tea or coffee, you cause repeated thermal injury to the squamous epithelium (the lining) of your esophagus. Your body constantly has to heal these micro-burns. This chronic inflammation forces rapid cellular turnover. The faster and more frequently your cells have to divide to repair the damage, the higher the chance of a genetic mutation occurring during that division.

​Over time, this repeated thermal trauma can lead to Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. In fact, the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies drinking very hot beverages as a probable carcinogen.

​You don't have to give up your morning tea or coffee....just give it 5 minutes to cool down. Your food pipe will thank you!

The kidneys of many people are failing silently, but they don't know. No pain, no urine symptoms, no signs. But by the time they find out, they have already lost 90% of kidney function.

Here are 7 silent killers of the kidneys:

(Most people do 3-4 of these daily!)

After years of staying mostly silent here, I wanted to share what this moment truly means for us.

Reaching orbit with Vikram-1 is the culmination of an incredibly long and difficult journey. Over the last few years, Team Skyroot pushed relentlessly through missed aggressive deadlines, technical hurdles, and moments when the finish line kept moving. We never lost hope. Not once.

This success feels like redemption for every late night, every difficult choice, and every person who refused to give up on the dream.

The flight has given us a treasure of high-fidelity data. We will use every bit of it to make our vehicle subsystems significantly more robust and to optimize performance across the entire system.

For any launch company, achieving orbit is the single hardest milestone. Productionizing this capability, turning this success into reliable, repeatable flights, is now our central focus.

To every member of Team Skyroot who carried this dream when it was hardest, and to everyone who stood with us through the quiet years: thank you. This is your victory too.

To the entire nation that has celebrated this achievement with so much warmth and pride, thank you! It has meant more to us than words can express.

The real work begins now. 🚀

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

I taught JEE physics for years. That paper breaks strong kids in three hours.

This exam is five hours of theory and five hours of lab work, and these five did close to perfect scores on it.

Let me tell you what actually happened.

The International Physics Olympiad is the world championship of school physics. It was the 56th edition. Held in Bucaramanga, Colombia, from July 5 to 12.

381 students. More than 85 countries. Every one of them the best physics student their country could find.

India sent five kids.

All five came back with gold.

Their names are Kanishk Jain from Pune. Riddhesh Anant Bendale from Indore. Rishit Garg from Dwarka in Delhi. Shresth Suraiya from Mumbai. Svarit Joshi from Ahmedabad.

We know a hundred cricketers by their nickname and not one of these boys. :)

That clean sweep put India at joint World Number One. Tied with China, Russia, Kazakhstan, South Korea and Taiwan.

Those are countries that pour serious money and national pride into science education. We are standing level with them.

Now here is what the exam actually was.

Two papers. Each five hours long.

The theory paper had three problems. One on the thermodynamics of paramagnetic cooling. One on the photoionisation of ozone. One on the dynamics of electron positron pairs.

The experimental paper was another five hours in a lab, working through heat transfer and thermodynamic processes in fluids.

That means you get given equipment you have never seen, and you have to design your own experiment, take your own readings, handle the errors, and reach a real answer.

Not multiple choice. No shortcuts. No pattern recognition. You either understand physics or you sit there for five hours.

HBCSE says the Indian students were near perfect on theory and excellent on the practical too.

Now, this was India's 27th appearance at the IPhO.

Across all those years, about 44 percent of Indian students have won gold, 41 percent silver, 10 percent bronze.

In the last ten years, every single Indian student has come home with a medal. 62 percent gold, 38 percent silver.

Not one kid has gone and come back empty handed in a decade.

Five golds in one year has happened only twice. This year, and in 2018.

So who built this.

The programme is run by HBCSE, the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education. It sits under TIFR, which sits under the Department of Atomic Energy.

They run the whole funnel. A national exam, then a national olympiad, then a brutal selection and training camp, and out of everyone in the country, five kids get on a plane.

The team was led by Professor Anwesh Mazumdar of HBCSE-TIFR and Dr Leena Joshi from St Xavier's College, Mumbai.

The scientific observers were Professor Ananda Dasgupta from IISER Kolkata and Nisha Kelkar from Gogate-Joglekar College in Ratnagiri.

Yes. Ratnagiri. A college in a small coastal town in Maharashtra.

This is public education doing something the private coaching industry could never do on its own.

The coaching industry is very good at one thing. Teaching you to solve a known problem fast.

That is what JEE and NEET reward, and I say that with love because I was part of that world.

But an olympiad paper does not have a known type. There is no shortcut chapter. There is no formula sheet that saves you. You have to sit with a problem you have never seen and think.

That is a completely different muscle. And a government funded centre has been quietly building it in Indian teenagers for 27 years.

So yes, be proud. Loudly.

HBCSE also shared that around 64 percent of India's olympiad medallists go on to do a PhD.

But only about 32 percent of medallists end up settling in India.

I do not say that to spoil the moment. These kids owe the country nothing. They earned every option they have.

But it should tell us something. We are excellent at finding this talent. We are excellent at training it. We are still not great at giving it somewhere worth staying.

Congratulations Kanishk, Riddhesh, Rishit, Shresth and Svarit. This is one of the best things an Indian did this year and most of the country will never hear about it.
