At 14, the boy from Jamshedpur has won four Commonwealth medals, including a gold. No player from Jharkhand had ever claimed to have beaten a Grandmaster with the black pieces, and he became the highest-rated active player his state has ever produced. His story is about more than one prodigy. It is about a state daring to dream in chess.

At 11, she was sleeping behind scrap-shop mattresses, terrified of every passing stranger.
For nearly three years, Lilyma Khan survived on Delhi's streets, scavenging through dustbins for food and hiding inside cardboard boxes at night.
After losing both her parents, her sister, her home, and eventually even the company of her younger brother, survival became her only goal.
Then, a rescue changed everything.
An NGO gave Lilyma a safe place to live, access to education, and a chance to dream beyond the streets. Years later, through skill-building support from CSSG, she discovered a passion for cooking and trained at a restaurant in Delhi.
She worked relentlessly, learning from chefs who recognised her talent and determination.
Today, Lilyma is the Executive Chef at a premium European restaurant in Delhi, leading a team of 35 people and serving dishes crafted with the same hands that once searched through garbage for a meal.
"From being hungry all the time, I am now able to feed many. You too can achieve your dreams."

At 12, most kids are busy finishing homework. Keshav was busy solving a problem.
When he noticed government schools around him lacked access to books, he started collecting unused ones from family, friends, and neighbours, determined that no book should sit forgotten on a shelf while another child studies without one.
What began as one student’s small donation drive has now grown into Pekabook, a movement that has delivered 15,000+ books to students, schools, libraries, NGOs, and underserved communities.
But this story isn’t only about books. It’s about empathy. It’s about recycling knowledge instead of wasting it. And it’s proof that age has nothing to do with impact.

This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time.
I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!
A 10-year-old girl. A broken guitar dream. A village that rarely makes it to the screen.
Village Rockstars didn’t just win the National Award for Best Film — it marked a turning point for Assamese cinema.
Directed by Rima Das, the film follows Dhunu, a child growing up in rural Assam, who dreams of forming a rock band despite poverty, gender barriers, and daily survival struggles.
Rima Das herself comes from Chhaygaon, Assam, and was raised in a middle-class family.
Her films rooted in real lives, especially women’s stories, have travelled across international festivals. Village Rockstars brought global recognition to Indian independent cinema.
But behind the awards is a quieter truth she often speaks about the “little girl” within every woman who dreams, doubts, and keeps going anyway.
For Rima Das, cinema is not just storytelling. It is remembering where we come from and who we choose to become.

I have no hate for India, but the truth is hard to ignore.
Anthropic was founded in 2021, and today raises $65B at a $965B massive valuation.
At the same time, India has IT giants founded in 19XX and today stuck below a $90B valuation.
Indian companies earn thousands of crores every year, but spend barely 1% on research. American companies spend 10% to 25% to build new technology. That is why India is far behind in AI.
They build products. We use products.
They create technology. We download apps.
They build AI. We wait for access.
They design chips. We buy them.
India is slowly becoming a digital slave, fully dependent on technology made by other countries.
Making ice cream from A2 milk is not an innovation. It is a business made for profit.
Real innovation is building things the world depends on. AI. Chips. Operating systems. Robotics. Deep tech.
That is what changes countries.
Right now others are building the future. India is watching, consuming, and falling further behind.

There are two possible outcomes:
• If the result confirms the hypothesis, then you've made a measurement.
• If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you've made a discovery.
