As Grandmaster Rameshbabu Praggnanandhaa makes history becoming the 1st Indian to win the Norway Chess title, I’m reminded of this gem of a picture of his mum Nagalakshmi watching him being interviewed a few years ago.
Imagine her today. ♥️
Only thing offensive about this photo is the Cheetah copter. Uncles/incels/wannabes should be furious over how the Army has failed to replace Cheetahs for 20 yrs!
Last month, a Maj Gen had a narrow escape in a crash.
But no, they'll fulminate over young love in a new world.
The more I read Nithin Kamath and listen to his interview, it changes my mindset. he is so truthful person. he is vocal about climate change, wealth inequality, indian VCs drama, money as obligation and raising funds is not acheivement, it should not be celebarated. now this❤️🙌
I find it odd when people turn businessmen into role models, and this seems to have become more common in the last 5-odd years. It's the same with idolising movie stars and sports stars. None of it should happen, really. 😀
When people come to me for advice, my first reaction is: What makes you think I'm qualified?
Just because I've gotten lucky in business, does that make me qualified to advise you on your career, your life choices, or anything apart from how to get lucky? 😀
There are startup founders, especially people working in the social sector, whom I meet through @RainmatterOrg, and I think they are far smarter and more capable of giving advice than I am.
If you still pick a role model, pick someone for a trait worth admiring in real life, not because of what they project to the outside world.
Man,we gotta stop asking others to tell us about things that affect US.
We have to start making our own decisions and owning up to I consequences, no matter if they are good or bad.
@VazeKshitij exactly, every individual is very different than we really think..i had given advices to some of my friends ,which worked for me, but turned out disastrous for my friends,,I feel sorry for them. its really important to go with own instinct than asking others.
What fascinates me about Edward Witten’s story is how unconventional the path was before he became “Edward Witten.”
He originally studied history, spent time around political journalism, and even briefly worked on George McGovern’s presidential campaign in the early 1970s. For a while, his life seemed to be moving toward politics and the humanities rather than theoretical physics.
And yet physics was never really far away.
His father, Louis Witten, was already a well-known theoretical physicist, so the culture of physics existed quietly in the background of his life long before he entered the field himself.
Then somehow his life kept intertwining with physics more and more deeply.
Witten met his future wife, physicist Chiara Nappi, at the legendary Les Houches School of Physics in the French Alps, founded by Cécile DeWitt-Morette in 1951. Over the decades, Les Houches became one of the great intellectual gathering places of modern physics, where generations of students and researchers lived together for weeks, discussing ideas from morning lectures to late-night blackboard conversations.
There’s something poetic about that trajectory.
A student of history who wandered through politics eventually ends up helping reshape modern mathematics and physics, while meeting his future wife at one of the most iconic physics schools ever created.
देश के अलग-अलग हिस्सों में तापमान लगातार बढ़ रहा है और इसके साथ ही दैनिक जीवन में गर्मी से होने वाली कई कठिनाइयां भी बढ़ रही हैं। मैं सभी देशवासियों से आग्रह करता हूं कि जितनी अधिक सावधानी बरत सकें, अवश्य बरतें। कृपया स्वयं को हाइड्रेटेड रखें, घर से बाहर निकलते समय पानी साथ रखें। ऐसे मौसम में आपकी संवेदनशीलता भी बहुत बड़ा सहारा बन जाती है। यदि संभव हो, तो किसी प्यासे व्यक्ति को एक गिलास पानी अवश्य दें। मैं ऐसे लोगों की सराहना भी करूँगा जो अपने घरों के और दुकानों के बाहर मटके में जल रखते हैं ताकि कोई भी उनसे पानी पी सके।
