My best shot of the 2025 Prayag Maha Kumbh Mela from ISS. It is a once in a 144 year Hindu pilgrimage to sacred riverbanks in India and one of the largest events in the world, with millions of people in this single photo!

every day, things are being built, launched, discovered and improved across the country. I wanted one place where you could actually see all of it happening.

Kamakoti Veezhinathan and his research group at IIT Madras were the earliest non-Berkeley/BlueSpec adopters and contributors to the RISC-V ISA project.

one of the reasons the world has an open mature ISA that is not US/UK-controlled.

why do Indian leftists have a tendency to specifically target Indian researchers and businessmen of strategic and geopolitical significance? for example they also have a cartoonish hate for Bhavish Aggarwal (Ola) whose Ola Gigafactory in Tamil Nadu are one of the few entities in the world that can produce modern battery systems from basic cathode/anode powders, to battery cell, to full battery-pack.

Pakistan's "journalists" commenting on Cockroaches in India remind me of a joke from Cold War years. A Russian and an American are discussing who enjoys more freedom. The American says "I can stand in front of the White House and abuse the American president and nothing will happen to me". The Russian says "Big deal. I too can stand in front of the Kremlin and abuse the American president and nothing will happen to me". These alleged journalists who haven't had the guts to cover protests in PoJK and the brutal disappearances of Baloch and Pashtun students in their country, are "bravely" and breathlessly reporting on Indian cockroaches. Salute to your "journalism" and your courage.

🚨 Successful launch of India’s 1st private company rocket, Skyroot Aerospace. 👏🏼🇮🇳

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

fully agreed to this: to counter a brick you need to atleast have a brick yourself. to counter an advanced AI based system you need one yourself. people can crib about “ethics” but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t adapt your own arsenal with time.
