What does and should emerge from Galgotias University Robot Controversy is that even in the age of AI, academic ethics cannot be compromised. Interestingly, plagiarism is one of the greatest concerns that educators have about integrating AI in learning.

My views on #AISummit and the episode around
I believe that we need to bring in positive and valuable points from the summit to let people on ground understand and aware about potential impact of AI in India’s future, instead of roaming around one episode of one exhibitor.

While some media houses cannot stop glorifying the establishment, there are also some who are hell bent on finding a fault. Neither approach is objective.

Things we didn't ask for:

1. 24*7 News Channels
2. Jungle news on News Channels
3. Instant delivery apps
4. EMI option to buy almost anything on shopping websites
5.

One wonders if they have done more damage than good..

Extremely pathetic response of @IDFCFIRSTBank
I deleted tweet on 21 Aug on their promise that my grievance will be resolved.
I got contacted by bank representative, they sent me another form, i went in person from Delhi to Lucknow and submitted it after Diwali.
Now no response

Insane that there are politicians and political parties who equated national emblem with religious emblem and resorted to using words like "blasphemous". Don't take government fund, stop using indian rupees if you have zero respect for state symbols.

#Hazratbal #JammuAndKashmir

[Devika Mittal देविका मित्तल دیوِیکا مِتّل @devikasmittal]

How can national emblem be seen as a religious symbol? How is it idol worship? Who worships the emblem? People involved in vandalising and leaders supporting it should be given basic education. Such level of illiteracy is dangerous for the country.

Given that there is much debate regarding alimony in Indian public sphere, is prenup a way forward?

India observes #PartitionHorrorsRemembranceDay, remembering the upheaval and pain endured by countless people during that tragic chapter of our history. It is also a day to honour their grit...their ability to face unimaginable loss and still find the strength to start afresh. Many of those affected went on to rebuild their lives and achieve remarkable milestones. This day is also a reminder of our enduring responsibility to strengthen the bonds of harmony that hold our country together.
