Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.
- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.
He built a language that fit in kilobytes.
50 years later, it runs everything.
Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.
Every iPhone. Every Android.
NASA’s deep space probes.
The International Space Station.
> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.
If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.
He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.
This Legend deserves to be celebrated.
🚨 GAME CHANGER
In April, we launched a NEW CAMPAIGN to recruit video gamers as air traffic controllers — and supercharged the entire hiring process to get the BEST & BRIGHTEST in faster. The results are HISTORIC ✈️
✅ 94% of hiring goal met — fastest time ever to reach target
✅ 2,000+ hired — the most in a single year
✅ 2,000+ “best & brightest” candidates in the pipeline — reaching the Academy quicker than any class before them, thanks to the most streamlined hiring process
We’re building the strongest, sharpest workforce in aviation history ✈️
We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP
#WATCH | “Foreign Investors Are Furious With India”: Samir Arora Flags Deep FII Concerns 📉
Helios founder Samir Arora says India’s FII challenge is not about lacking an LLM, but about high taxes, forex losses and a system where “nobody owns the problem.”

Dear @nitin_gadkari
We need a public website that shows:
> Which contractor built road
> Which babu approved it
> Total cost & ministers involved
> Firm responsible for maintenance
Contractors are becoming billionaires while people die on roads
Bring real accountability now!
We need more influencers like this
This should become mass movement
This influencer posted a video and asked people to join him in cleaning an ancient temple well, 60 people joined him in his effort.
This is how it turned out to be
Care to share and spread the word so that more people pick up such causes.
A woman has been stalked and harassed by a man for 2+ years in Bengaluru.
The criminal has even had the audacity to impersonate a police officer to threaten and intimidate her, yet the @bomanahalli_ps (Bomanahalli Police Station) did NOT file her FIR today.
@BlrCityPolice (1/5)
I believe that there should also be some incentive to Tax payers, so more people start paying
Feels terrible to see street vendors earn more than us & pay zilch in IT
Incentives like
-10% of monthly tax tied given as Health Insurance
-Certificate of payment, etc
@TVMohandasPai
@narendramodi@PMOIndia@nsitharaman@FinMinIndia PM Sir, best wishes for 2025- Pl make it a year of Big Reforms-Budget 25-26 should be start.
Pl give relief to long suffering middle class IT payers. They are very upset with NDA but voted for you. The individual tax collection has gone up from Rs 4.87l cr in 20-21 to Rs 10.45l cr in 23-24! 114% increase over 3 years. 24-25 gross Individuals IT collection up by 22%, net may reach 12.5l cr!
MC IT payers are seeing much lower cash to spend due to high taxes,inflation,very high school and college fees,lower increase in income!
Pl enlarge tax slab- upto Rs 5l no tax, 5-10l only 10%, 10-20l 20%, above 20l max 30%, with SC only above 50l. No deductions except 80 D and 80G. Scheme as an option in lieu of current complex option.
For seniors above 60 tax to kick in only at 7.5l, seniors above 70 no tax til 10l income.
No compulsion to file return till 5l unless for refund.
Today deduction for housing loan is big but only 1.2cr tax payers out of 3.5 cr payers can get this as only they have housing loan. People need more money to spend.
This will increase compliance from business too.
Pl give big relief to long suffering middle class.
Pl Stop TAX TERRORISM as promised in 2014! Disputed amounts today above Rs 12.5l cr from Rs 4.5l in 2014. Big failure of ITD and @FinMinIndia Pl declare 2025-26 as Year of Tax dispute resolution. Focus on clearing tax disputes only Pl do not create new disputes for 2025-26 Every year appeals at CIT A has only gone up, shows gross inefficiency, tax terrorism and lack of focus by CBDT. Pl punish officials who lose multiple cases in court. Data says more than 70% disputes lost in appeal showing big tax terrorism and multiple cases of bad assessments
Pl give relief to IT paying honest middle class. Today centre and state spend more than Rs 900,000 cr of subsidies in India for bottom 60% but middle class bears most burden of tax, getting poorer, ignored and very very angry with no relief. Cost of living has become unbearable to very many.
PM Sir pl intervene and ensure relief. These are your long term staunch voters and supporters who have suffered immensely.

Shocked, deeply saddened and devastated by the passing-on of the legend Ustad Zakir Hussain @ZakirHtabla. One of the greatest musicians and personalities India has ever produced. Along with being the best himself, Zakirji was known for his immense humility, approachable nature, and for being responsible for the careers of numerous musicians, who are now forces to reckon with themselves. He was a treasure trove of skill and knowledge and always shared and encouraged the entire music community through collaborations and his actions. His legacy will live on forever, and his influence will be felt for generations. He left us too soon. #ZakirHussain #ustadzakirhussain
@TimesAlgebraIND The Bengaluru police have finally filed an FIR against the wife of the late Atul Subhash and her family under Section 108 3(5) of the BNS.

#JusticeForAtulSubhash
TW : SUICIDE : BANGALORE
◾Atul Subhash, 34 year old
◾Got married in 2019
◾Driven to suicide by wife, in-laws, biased laws & system within 5 years
◾Left 1.5 hr suicide video, 40 page note
◾Wife demanded 3 Crores Alimony
◾Wife didn't let him even see the face of his child
◾Jaunpur Family Court Judge Rita Kaushik demanded 5 Lacs to settle case
◾He gave lacs to his wife to help her family but then got accused of dowry
◾His wife's father died of disease soon after his marriage but his wife got an FIR under sections of Murder slapped on his family claiming he died of shock because of demand of "dowry"
◾He had to attend 120 dates in last 2 years
◾ Family court judge passed order of 40,000 per month maintenance for a 2 year old child because he didn't pay her the bribe she had asked
◾He used to do household chores, got his wife job in @AccentureIndia , helped brother-in-law financially, spent lacs on birth of his child and got his death in return
◾This is not a suicide video, this is testimony of every married man in India facing false cases from his wife and a one sided battle in the courts
In the last words of Atul - I refuse to pay and I choose death because I don't want my money to be used against me by my opponents to torture me and my family
@BlrCityPolice WILL YOU GET THIS MAN ANY JUSTICE ?
@AtulSubhas19131@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump@DonaldJTrumpJr@TeamTrump Sad day for Men, Tax paying men, Indian men, Husbands, Fathers, Honest citizens!
You are worth nothing to the system. The system has learned to resist these jolts.
@AtulSubhas19131
May you be at peace and hope your parents get freedom from this Vulgar dance of justice
This hurts to read! The notes on Google drive are so painful.
The corruption in our system, won't change. Officials boast about getting rich in India by taking bribes. Every gov system takes bribes.
+ salaried folks who pay taxes will always be the donkeys of this country!
A street food dosa vendor near my home makes 20k on an average daily, totalling up to 6 lakhs a month.
exclude all the expenses, he earns 3-3.5 lakhs a month.
doesn’t pay single rupee in income tax.
but a salaried employee earning 60k a month ends up paying 10% of his earning.
