Highly recommended. This programme was started by INAE (@inaehq1) last year together with AICTE and funding from @Infosys.

As one of the mentors, it gave me a unique opportunity to interact with faculty members of various institutes to know the teaching challenges.

@IITKgp @Suman_iitkgp He did his PhD from IISc, not his post-doctoral research.

A blue moon event: A reddit thread where people are gushing with love and respect for Indians instead of the usual racism. Wholesome thanks for the countless tutorials made by Indians in so many niche things on YouTube.

How to use an orange to show the surface area of a sphere is 4πr² ? Beautiful demonstration.

The Maha Ashtami Pushpanjali mantras seem different to me every year and in different Puja Mandaps. Are there no standard mantras? Or do they depend on the Purohit leading the Pushpanjali?

An extremely important article on "Swadeshi software" by someone who's contributed to OS dev himself.

In this day and age of libraries/modules, can any software even be 100% Swadeshi. Is that even necessary?

Perhaps it is the ecosystem around the software that matters more.

@HimanshuS_kgp My simple advice: Don't. I have seen your writing. It is more than good enough. Try to incorporate authenticity instead of cookie cutter sentences.

[Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty @jeevanjyoti]

You can use all the AI you want in writing. But what about speaking? You're on your own!

✍️ An essay in my new blog post on:
➡️Why it is still important to learn the art of composition?
➡️How it can help speaking/presentation?

Will be grateful for corrections in my estimates.

Many students choose Mech Engg after JEE, but never go on to Mech Engg professions.

Are there enough opportunities? Should we perhaps consider reducing the number of seats?

I deliberate on these in this blog piece:

@flyingcakes85 Thank you!

Among the lovely Teachers' Day wishes I have been receiving since morning, I received one where the student wished it in the form of a poem:

[Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty @jeevanjyoti]

@NikhiIDesai Happy Teachers' Day to you too! (I don't know if there is officially a Teachers' Day in the UK though.)

I am going to teach the course "Design of Machine Elements" this semester.
Haven't watched "3 Idiots" ever. But, just watched this famous clip on "What is a machine?"

Candid, heart-to-heart, at times outright funny - that's how the new Director of IIT Kharagpur, Professor Suman Chakraborty (@Suman_iitkgp) addressed the entire IIT KGP family including alumni.

@Kaju_Nut Very clearly put. Seen this happen to myself. In lectures, I am fairly confident and definite. But in my advice videos on YouTube, I am slow, halting, and hedge my sentences.

A few times, people have commented asking me to speak more confidently!

Learnt about Dunbar's Number. It is about 150 for humans.

Would be a fun(?!) exercise to figure out who these 150 are in each of our lives.

@flyingcakes85 He told me that he had manually summarized it. He didn't use any automated system. My respects to him for that.

[Jeevanjyoti Chakraborty @jeevanjyoti]

Someone made, using some note-taking system, a summarized version of a blog post I wrote a few years ago. I thought at first glance, it was my actual post!
