Imagine a classroom in Tihu College, Assam. It is a humble setting where local students come to learn the basics of physics. At the front of the room stands a man who looks like any other dedicated prof. But when the bell rings & the students leave, Atanu Nath plugs back into the global grid. He is calculating the g-2 factor: a measurement so precise it is like measuring the distance from Earth to the Moon with the accuracy of a human hair.

The Muon is like a fat version of an electron. According to every physics book written in the last 50 yrs, it should wobble at a specific rate when put in a magnetic field. But it does not It wobbles differently. Prof. Nath was part of the elite global team that tracked this tiny, impossible discrepancy.

The Northeast has always been a Silo of culture & resilience, but in the world of high-energy particle physics, it was often a Ghost region. By winning the 2026 Breakthrough Prize, Prof. Nath shattered that ceiling. He proved that a scientist from Lalabazar, Hailakandi, can sit at the same table as the legends of Brookhaven & CERN.

Even with a Breakthrough Prize (and its multi-million dollar purse shared among the team), Prof. Nath remains an Assistant Prof at a local college. He represents the India Bull spirit: the refusal to move to the Big City because the mind can travel further than the body ever could.

@dwarkesh_sp @EgeErdil2 @tamaybes @gleech An alternate thought-say Google as an entity with 200K employees might become one large capacity AI. Is it necessary to copy/ replicate a human twin first and merge ? So can a AI just became a legal and economic agent?

@PrabhuChawla Is this what the Forex markets are showing with continual depreciation of INR against USD?. To what extent might this be reflective at a glance of the relative attractiveness of the sovereign?. Can the forex movement be a guide to judge the progress in this area?

@IndianTechGuide How about proper drainage system , so water doesnt stagnate?, slope roads, lack of drains or blocked / chocked drains resulting in water accumulation is primary reason for asphalt roads to develop potholes

[NRB @natabage]

@IndiaNewGen @narendramodi Refund as % of Gross means overcharging of Tax than rightfully due ? or Govt borrowing short term without calling it debt ? or creative revenue accounting by finance bureaucrats to showcase achievements and get promoted? Reduce tax rate and refund processing for productivity?

[NRB @natabage]

@TVMohandasPai @FinMinIndia @narendramodi Refund as % of Gross means overcharging of Tax than rightfully due ? or Govt borrowing short term without calling it as debt or creative revenue accounting by finance bureaucrats to showcase achievements and get promoted? Reduce tax rate and refund processing and more productive

[NRB @natabage]

@idesibanda Interesting is the Refund as % of Gross. Does it mean overcharging of Tax than rightfully due or is it Govt borrowing short term without calling it as debt or creative revenue accounting by finance bureaucrats to show their KPI?

@IndianTechGuide Like Big mac index, Veg /Non-veg Thali index could be Indian CPi? -

[NRB @natabage]

@DivaJain2 Can the Fin min not engage in public consultation on proposals before budget?, whats need for secrecy and then enrage people with face saving measures later. Can become more transparent and take citizens into confidence?

[NRB @natabage]

@deepakshenoy May be the Govt should also do away with Dearness/Cost of living allowance for all Govt employees- will reduce public expenditure and help flat line index !.

[NRB @natabage]

@shyamsek @nsitharamanoffc Indexation indicates inflation ( no base year reset),might be pragmatic for govt to retain indexation and ensure the policies, spending and productivity measures effectively flatline growth in Index.Avoid incentive in Govt salaries increase in index is not to increase salary!

[NRB @natabage]

@VishalBhargava5 There’s no drainage system not and sewerage management in place, either at planning or inspection. Roads dont have drains or where exists clogged. People’s civic sense needs to be learnt hard way at severe cost. unplanned urbanisation.

[NRB @natabage]

@dmuthuk can MoF /depts not invite public/taxpayer feedback on proposal for taxation change before budget (like RBI/SEBI), than secretive process and surprising tax payers, after all engagement ensure clarity and compliance while avoid post facto review /backlash/face saving .

[NRB @natabage]

@palakshahjourno @BWBusinessworld @anuragbatrayo @nsitharamanoffc How about doing the same with direct and indirect taxes as well ? Perhaps that’s a different train of thought!

[NRB @natabage]

@BalakrishnanR He gets inflation adjusted salary component and gets to decide his own increments. ( just budget for it), are they here to protect citizens wealth or usurp through shoddy contracts- performance of IT portal? Fence eating crops.!

[NRB @natabage]

@shyamsek If indexation is removed for LTCG, why should all Govt employees continue to have inflation index linked “COLA”?as component of salary? . Removing indexation is abdicating accountability for controlling inflation & fiscal expenditures?!

[NRB @natabage]

@TVMohandasPai Agree, we may have to go back to first principle , for what is tax levied and how much is appropriate , should the budget be an autonomous body , not the MoF , - there are no checks and balances. Removing indexation = no accountability for controlling inflation ! . KPI for MoF?

[NRB @natabage]

@iborganization When would stop your arbitrary moderation of scores ?, and bring transparency to results. using moderation as means to coverup your deficiencies, leaks and punitive to students to pull down their schools!- Shameful.
