Stupidity = Overlooking or dismissing conspicuously crucial information

The men possessed the word, the natives borrowed it.

Not every Slack message needs a coalition-building exercise.

Please. If you have an opinion, communicate it like an adult. 😭

[Rohan Bhatore 🌴 @nootanist]

Slack reactions are slowly making me lose my mind.

Sometimes I’m sending a message to a group just to communicate something and keep everyone in the loop—not to open a referendum.

Then come the 👍, ➕1️⃣, ⬆️ and assorted arrow emojis.

[Rohan Bhatore 🌴 @nootanist]

And suddenly it feels like people are voting: this org supports the message, that org disagrees, someone is quietly signaling allegiance without actually saying anything.

In cross-org situations especially, reactions can become this weird layer of passive-aggressive politics.

"A growing number of Indians travel abroad. They come back wide-eyed with barely believed tales of clean air, drivable roads and rubbish collection. Holidaymakers who have never heard of purchasing power still know that Vietnam and Uzbekistan are not rich Western countries. Somehow these places manage feats—such as conjuring pavements into existence—that the world’s “fourthlargest economy” cannot."

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.

Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Savita Ambedkar writes about the morning routine of B.R. Ambedkar
---
It was my duty to wake him up every day sometime between half past seven and eight o'clock. I, however, would be up and about at half past five or six. As soon as I got up, I would take a round of the two expansive gardens around our bungalow.

I would then take a bath and prepare the English-style tea for Doctor Saheb: the brew in one pot, milk in another and sugar in a separate container. The tray thus readied, I would carry it into his bedroom and wake him up.

After finishing his tea and skimming through the papers, he would do his exercises. He would then go to the veranda of the bungalow and stretch himself out in an easy chair.

Our driver would then arrive, apply massage oil on him and give him a nice rubbing down. This massage would carry on for about half an hour, during which time our driver would be bathed in sweat.

Doctor Saheb would then go to brush his teeth, wash his face, finish his toilet activities and go for his bath. He needed hot water for his bath. Very often I would give him his bath too. He would love it when I soaped him, scrubbed him and rinsed him.

He would sit like an innocent and obedient child when I gave him his bath. After the bath was over, I would help him dry himself. I would then dust talcum powder all over his body.

He would then come to the dining table for his breakfast by about half past eight or nine. You could call it an obsession, but it was his intense desire that I should prepare the breakfast items myself and serve them to him hot and fresh.

I had arranged for a hotplate and placed it right next to the dining table. As with his other meals, for his breakfast too he liked variety in what he ate. Whatever item he asked for, I would prepare it for him according to his liking and desire and serve it hot.

I would make a new dish for him almost every day and he would consume it with great joy and relish. Even with eggs I would do them for him in various forms turn by turn: boiled, half-fried, full-fried, omelette, mashed, scrambled, etc.

There would be hot toasted bread with butter to go with the eggs. He loved different kinds of jams too. He would then wash his eggs and bread down with coffee. He absolutely loved coffee.

He loved China crockery and we had a whole range of sets for different meals: for breakfast, for tea, for coffee, for lunch and dinner.

His instructions were clear-the sets should be used only for the purpose for which they were designed: tea set for tea, coffee set for coffee, breakfast set for breakfast, meal set for lunch and dinner.

Different sets for different occasions. We had a lot of crockery and cutlery sets too.

Once breakfast was over, he would get ready for office. He wanted me to help him get dressed. He would lift his arms up and I would slip the shirt on him and button it up for him. I had to help him put on the jacket too.

He would again stand with his arms raised so that I could put the jacket on him. Once the jacket was buttoned up, I would then be required to place a handkerchief in the breast-pocket.

The handkerchief had to be folded in a specific way so that one triangular edge showed neatly over the breast-pocket.

Once he had his clothes on, our cook Sudama would be ready to help him put on his socks and shoes.

Once he was properly dressed, he would set off at around nine or half past nine. His car would be waiting for him in the porch. Once Saheb began to move towards his car, I was expected to accompany him, open the door for him and shut it once he was seated inside.

He would then wave goodbye and I was required to stand on the stairs and keep waving to him till the car had driven out of the gate.

Thinking about Bodo's Bagels... 🥯 Nothing beats their bagels and that amazing freshly squeezed orange juice. Missing it! #bodos #charlottesville

Also his wallpaper used to have the KGP main building with the "dedicated to the service of the nation", quote, something close to the heart eventually as I joined IIT.

Would always remember him for his calm demeanor, clarity of thought and seamlessly handling complex topics.

Always knew that my favourite physics teacher was a kgpian but recently found out he's a patelian as well.

Attending NK Sethia's first lecture as a student at Bansal classes in Kota circa 2008 was a pivotal moment.

[Rohan Bhatore 🌴 @nootanist]

Him sharing the exponential curve for effort to result in the context of physics prep was a lightning bulb moment for me. You may not see early results for your efforts but if you keep at it just enough, you tend to get rewarded disproportionately eventually .
