Building capability. Mechanical engineering. Aerospace eventually. Fluid mechanics gets the say. writer & poet. पुरुषार्थ ही दैव है। mārut-i actually.

My advice to anyone starting out:

Develop a very strong opinion about yourself.
Know exactly who you are & who you are not.

If you don't, random people will try to tell you who you are, and you might just start believing them.

Studying engineering and medicine has been so depressing as of late, almost everything has been “think economically”, “how can we automate this”, “how can you make a profit”.

I’m learning how to make prosthetics affordable, not how to market and sell them. How tone-deaf.

[Sharran Srivatsaa @sharran]

A pattern I’ve noticed: The real gap between people who make it and people who don't is the ability to stay interested in the same thing long enough to get good at it.

@Rainmaker1973 I think the inherent goodness in most young people is overshadowed by the press that the minority of troubled young people receive. All of us need to draw attention to these acts of kindness so they aren’t overlooked.

NEW: Interrogation of the Omani pilot: the objective was to crash the plane into the terminal building at Ben Gurion Airport.

The assault on the other pilot was timed deliberately. He waited until the aircraft was over Jordan, near Israel, before moving against him.

From that point the plan was to fly a normal landing approach so nothing would appear unusual. Only in the last seconds, once interception was no longer possible, would he turn the aircraft into the terminal.

The plot was thwarted by one decision. The wounded Indian pilot got the cockpit door open at all costs, and that is the only reason the attack did not succeed.

you ever get surprised by your own recurring issues. like come on man. I thought we were past this?.

W. That's the way.

Every time I cheerfully start planning for conferences in distant lands, this quote hits me.

And third then that the right intelligence is the only way, to handle anything, anything in all capacity of the word. Intelligence.

And second then, look at stuff from the plane window, not the car window. Things will be handled more correctly then instead of getting drained in the traffic.

the weird thing about reading so much as a child and gaining a huge vocabulary from that is I can't define a lot of words i use, i just…know that they would fit correctly in a specific sentence. does anyone else experience that 😭?

it has officially been eight years since I started my hardware arc!

One day (when I was 16) I woke up and decided to commit to being an EE patent attorney. Thankfully, after much drinking, I didn't go to law school.

1 million+ devices I've helped design in the wild today!!!

[Marut @Maruti_vM]

@covertstrike_ It's kind of paraphrased

[Marut @Maruti_vM]

@covertstrike_ 🙌🏻. I had this quote before. Cropped. Was lost. I think I foregoed searching for it thinking at least is in subconscious. You brought it out. I can't than you enough.

⚠️ New details on what happened inside the Flydubai cockpit, in Captain Smit Machchar’s own account to the Israeli PM:

1️⃣ The flight was normal. The co-pilot said he wanted to pray, something Machchar says was not unusual among local pilots.

2️⃣ Machchar faced forward while the co-pilot prayed behind him.

3️⃣ Four or five minutes later, Machchar says he was suddenly struck hard on the back of his head.

4️⃣ His first thought was catastrophic aircraft damage. Then the blows kept coming. He realised it was the co-pilot attacking him.

5️⃣ The initial blows left his vision severely blurred. He tried to fight back, but says he could barely see.

6️⃣ His next sensation was the aircraft plunging sharply. His memory of these moments remains fragmented.

7️⃣ He recalls managing to open the cockpit door once, but says the co-pilot apparently shut it again.

8️⃣ Lying on the cockpit floor, he could hear the aircraft rushing through the air and passengers screaming.

9️⃣ Machchar says he realised he had “one last fight” left. His thought was brutally simple: if he didn’t act, he was going to die.

🔟 He threw everything he had into reaching and opening the cockpit door. People outside were waiting to pounce. They entered, control was regained.
