An upcoming US Ivy League college admission essay:
"My family was so poor we could not even afford a garage for our Lamborghini. My dad even settled for blue because it was cheaper than the signature red. We even struggled to park it till Bangalore cops beat up a flower seller who was doing business on the footpath."
@NityaStriker2@IndianTechGuide How does that affect college admissions anyway? Without this move they could just normally see the boards and the jee score.
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) to be renamed to Pradhan Mantri Shri Bharatiya Abhiyantriki Sanstha Mumbai (PM Shri BhASM). Its alumni will be BhASMvadis.
IIT Kanpur will be PM Shri BhASK and its alumni will be BhASKaras. Professors will be BhASKaracharyas.
IIT BHU will be PM Shri BhASBHU and its professors will be BhAS and alumni will be BHU. Kyun ki BhAS bhi kabhi BHU thiii....
IIT Roorkee will be PM Shri BhASRoor. Its anthem will be - tera tera tera BhASRoor.
Uff… I’m genuinely so forgetful with names sometimes.
Apologies to @Jaspritbumrah93 Ji for the mix-up - it was a genuine human error in the middle of all the excitement and the crowd 🙏🏼
I truly respect you and I am a huge fan of your game. You make every Indian feel proud when you consistently put batsmen on back foot.
In 2003 CAT exam was leaked
And that really shattered the confidence of IIMs in their abilities to conduct the exam properly
They conducted a retest in Feb 2004 and it is considered the toughest CAT exam ever
Such was the heartbreak that they even included a question on the Mastermind and the Process it followed to make the leak undiscoverable
I am sharing that particular question and see what academic roasting literally means 🫡
No exam leak has happened ever since in CAT 🤞
Here’s the question:
Recently, the answers of a test held nationwide were leaked to a group of unscrupulous people.
The investigative agency has arrested the mastermind and nine other people A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I in this matter. Interrogating them, the following facts have been obtained regarding their operation.
Initially the mastermind obtains the correct answer-key.
All the others create their answer-key from one or two people who already possess the same.
These people are called his/her “sources”.
If the person has two sources, then he/she compares the answer-keys obtained from both sources. If the key to a question
from both sources is identical, it is copied, otherwise it is left blank.
If the person has only one source, he/she copies the source’s answers into his/her copy.
Finally, each person compulsorily replaces one of the answers (not a blank one) with a wrong answer in his/her answer key.
The paper contained 200 questions; so the investigative agency has ruled out the possibility of two or more of them introducing wrong answers to the same question.
The investigative agency has a copy of
the correct answer key and has tabulated the following data.
These data represent question numbers

Do post your answers (if you could crack it) 😹
There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
Circle of life:
We work hard on humanities in middle school to avoid studying it in high school.
We work hard on science in high school to avoid studying it in college.
We work hard on engineering in college to avoid being an engineer in real life.
We then study humanities to be a civil servant who is ignorant to science, engineering and humanities in our career.
#KamalHaasan opens about SundarC's exit from #Thalaivar173:
"SundarC already sent his statement, no there is no possible collaboration. I'm a producer, so I have make film which satisfies my star (Superstar #Rajinikanth) . We will keep hearing scripts until it satisfies him. We are searching for another story for the film which we are collaborating together as actors"
