A diplomatic hug is not when you forcefully hug others, it’s when you move your hand forward and other person is expecting a hug.

Fidel Castro hugged his sister Indira Gandhi at 7th NAM summit in 1983

India, in 1992, sent 10,000 tones of wheat & 10,000 tonnes of rice to Cuba despite USA’s embargo and Fidel Castro himself welcomed the vessel and called it “The Bread of India”

We used to defy USA back then but now it’s total surrender!!

“But I can honestly say I have tried to follow a journalist credo I learned as a cub reporter more than 70 years ago — pull no punches, play no favorites, ask questions of those who need to be held accountable.”

Sunday Prayer: Praying for the success of all those appearing for the NEET Re-test today. One can only imagine the trauma each of you have gone through in the past few months . As the father of a doctor, I know the sacrifices you/your parents are making to crack this exam. I wish you all success. And only hope that the exam will be controversy free this time. I also hope all the stakeholders rising above partisan views will work together to focus on improving our exam systems which at the moment are simply not good enough. 89 paper leaks and 48 re-tests in the past decade is an abysmal record. Good luck everyone: may the force be with you !🤞 😁😁

Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha after his man-of-the-match display against Spain:

"I cried after the game because I grew up with my grandparents when I was a kid, and they could not be there. They passed away a few years ago.

"My mum could not be here either for a VISA issue, and the money we had to pay for it. We did not manage to do this in time."

@virsanghvi Excellent observation, Veer. Having recently spent several weeks in Dubai, I can vouch for this. Beyond the glamour, one increasingly sees a more mature, balanced, and livable city. Your description captures that evolution remarkably well.

Rude Travel:
I went back to Dubai last week and liked this quieter, more grounded,more real, version of the city more than the flashy playground-of-the-international-rich avatar that used dominate characterisations of Dubai earlier.

A black hole that's older than the galaxy it lives in.

Sit with that for a second.

For decades, astronomers told a tidy story: galaxies come first. Stars are born, burn through their fuel, collapse, and eventually feed the monster black holes at the center.

Galaxy, then black hole. Always in that order.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just blew that story apart.

Webb peered at a tiny object called Abell2744-QSO1 — a "Little Red Dot" sitting more than 13 billion light-years away, glowing as it existed just 700 million years after the Big Bang.

Inside it, a supermassive black hole weighing roughly 50 million times the mass of our Sun.

Here's the part that breaks the rules: that black hole appears to have come first. No host galaxy big enough to feed it. No slow buildup from collapsing stars. It was already a giant from the very beginning.

It may have formed within the first second of the Big Bang itself.

"It's a paradigm shift," said Cambridge astronomer Roberto Maiolino, "a total revisiting of the classical scenarios of how black holes form and grow."

The object is so far away its light has traveled for over 13 billion years — and we can only see it clearly thanks to a cosmic magnifying glass: the galaxy cluster Abell 2744, also known as Pandora's Cluster, which bends light and shows QSO1 in three places at once.

And scientists don't think QSO1 is a fluke. They believe these ancient, oversized black holes were common in the early universe — possibly sitting in the dark long before galaxies ever formed around them.

The universe just handed us a chicken-and-egg riddle written in starlight.

And for the first time, the egg might be the black hole.

In case you missed it, here’s a raw from “The Fall of Icarus”

It was captured in monochrome due to the narrow bandpass needed to get atmospheric details on the sun

I can’t describe the feeling the moment I saw this on the screen.

The next time the first monsoon showers arrive, remember:

What feels like a local rainstorm is actually the visible expression of atmospheric processes spanning oceans, mountains, continents and distant climate systems.

The monsoon reminds us that the most powerful forces shaping our lives are often invisible until they arrive as rain.
