@GoibiboSupport They confirmed on the phone it is on their website as well.

[Sinduja @iamsinfinal]

@goibibo @GoibiboSupport hey team, I need to cancel my emirates flight from Blr to Milan and back, emirates is offering a full refund but your website still shows deductions and cancellation fees. Can you help process a full refund. PNR BKDKBS. Please assist.

[Sinduja @iamsinfinal]

@GoibiboSupport @GoibiboSupport @goibibo please share an update at the earliest.

[Sinduja @iamsinfinal]

@GoibiboSupport Please confirm if claim has been forwarded

[Sinduja @iamsinfinal]

@GoibiboSupport Thanks I’ve raised the claim request. Haven’t cancelled the flight ticket yet should I do that as well.

[Sinduja @iamsinfinal]

@rpobengaluru Ok so does this mean the application is processed and issue resolved? You just need the old passport?

[Sinduja @iamsinfinal]

@rpobengaluru my passport renewal application has been pending since Jan 25, status shows pending review with RPO for nearly 2 months. The local RPO phone no doesn’t work. Please help clarify what is the status and when the passport will be issued. File no: BN2077302746725.

[Sinduja @iamsinfinal]

@rpobengaluru I’ve visited once already and was told the application has been referred to embassy for further checks. It’s been more than a month with no update though after that. Can you help identify what the hold up is?

[Rohit Mittal @rohitdotmittal]

Can someone put Bhagvadgita in an LLM and make a companion Krishna?

Indian scriptures would be the most valuable companions (a sarthi) to help resolve moral confusion, share a future path, and live a fulfilling life.

I think AI can make Puranas more accessible than they've ever been in the past and really help in an increasingly complicated world.

The most fundamental change that has happened in India in ten years of Modi’s rule is that a process of decolonisation has taken place. When Indians say we are proud to be Indian for the first time it’s this they mean. https://t.co/xHgDBY1JDL

Politics aside, some of the little stories coming out on account of the Pran Prathishta are quite wonderful. Wish they show the artists as well here, they’re so good!

The place where our PM @narendramodi ji listening to the Kamba Ramayanam verses is where the Ramayanam was recited first time (Arangetram) by Kambar.

It is said that when Kambar sung the verses on Narasimha avatar “அண்டம் கீறிச் சிரித்தது செங்கட் சீயம்! - the Lion laughed when the pillar was broken” those who were present there objected saying a lion can’t laugh. At that instance, the Narasimha in the Mettazhakiyasinger Sannidhi laughed giving the due recognition to Kambar’s poetry & his Ramayana.

A divine place this is !

You might have your differences with Modi ji, but I feel this was a great gesture by him. I will tell you why- it puts Tejas on the map in the minds of millions of young boys and girls across the country.

I am an aeronautics engineer. Growing up it was my only dream to be an aircraft designer and build a company like HAL to make fighter jets. I have always been a nationalistic patriot and yearned to have a robust indigenous aircraft program. I used to dream of having our own bombers and F-16s and Sukhois designed and made in India and for India.

I even worked diligently on this dream- went abroad and got myself a in Aeronautics degree with a major in aircraft design. I came back in 2009 and even started a company. Became a vendor to HAL to start small and grow organically. Thats when reality hit me. People there were lax, corrupt and there was absolutely no direction to anything. LCA was in the works for decades with no sight of a production plan nor an order even from IAF. Our plan for an indigenous engine was a monumental disaster. I have seen engineers sit idle all day or have a full-time part time gigs in private sector because there was just no work to do at HAL nor were there any askers-tellers. I realised we are atleast 50 years away from being serious about this and that I should not waste my life on it. My dream ended.

But a wind of change started in late 2014 and I credit Shri Manohar Parikkar for it. Man was solid gold. He brought in direction and accountability into the organisation. The engineers who were previously always available for part-time gigs were now “no sir, we are very busy. We have deadlines to meet” and I was the happiest about it! LCA/ Tejas picked up pace and there were now production plans with actual orders. HAL which was always in slumber even built a *new plant* for helicopters and that too in record time! India finally had a fighter aircraft program which was alive and kicking!!

I know all this because l closely follow the space. Its my passion. And it will become the passion of many young kids when its talked about loudly. And I think Modi ji’s sorties today will play its part towards it! It will definitely spark the enthusiasm of a few young minds who will take a peek into the world of aerospace and some might start dreaming like I did. They might start dreaming to make India a great aerospace power like I did 25 years ago! And hopefully for them it might even come true! I pray it should and I pray I am alive on that day to see it happen! ♥️ Thanks Modi ji! 🙏

Fascinating thread

Most ppl are missing the key point regarding OpenAI
This is not standard startup drama
This is literally a fight for the survival of humanity, linked to the original purpose of OpenAI: saving us from the end of the world:
