Against all odds, we faintly captured Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) through Bangalore's cloudy skies! This cosmic wonder won't return for 80,000 yrs—feeling beyond lucky to have witnessed this! 🌠

OTD in 1760 at Burari Ghat in Delhi, Dattaji Rao Shinde (Scindia), the great Maratha warrior laid his life fighting Afghan invaders. His bravery reflects in his answer to the question at the moment of death 'if he still wants to fight' by Kutubshah- “बचेंगे तो और भी लड़ेंगे”!
6 January 1772.
Mahadji Scindia brought the 12 year long absence of Shah Alam II to an end & entered Delhi with him.

It was 12 years since Dattaji died defending Delhi from Abdali on 10 Jan 1760.
