A highly inspiring picture has emerged from Nepal. 🇳🇵🙏❤️
People from the community have stepped forward on their own to clean the rivers and waterways, ensuring smooth water flow and protecting the city from floods.
Please join me in prayer for the people of Nepal.🙏
La casa en Nepal que lo resistió TODO y se mantuvo firme para salvar a toda una familia, llegó un momento en el que todos los espectadores pensaron que no resistiría, pero no fue así, hoy esa familia tiene una historia que contar y esa casa quedará como referencia de que los milagros existen.

The Earth itself became a Lingam here.
Ekambareswarar Temple, Kanchipuram ~one of the five Pancha Bhoota Sthalams, where Lord Shiva is worshipped as Prithvi, the element of Earth.
Parvati shaped this Lingam from sand under a mango tree. That tree still stands.
The southern gopuram rises 11 storeys. A thousand-pillared hall. 1,008 Lingams lining the walls. Corridors that feel older than memory.
This is not just a temple. This is South India’s stone prayer to the ground beneath our feet.
Har Har Mahadev!
My emotions went high got shaken today when
- I offered water to forefathers (Pitrus) using black sesame seeds.
Today is
Avani Avittam (Upakarma)
renewal of “Janu”
sacred thread - a recommitment to Vedic learning,spiritual discipline,ancestral gratitude.
IIT Madras professor S. Lakshmi Bala walks a full quantum mechanics class through the two-level atom, and she does it for free.
Western physics departments charge over $2,000 per credit for a graduate course in quantum mechanics. This entire course has been free since the early 2000s, but someone is trying to hide it.
In this lecture she has already moved past abstract vector spaces into a real physical system, the same two-level atom model that shows up later in laser physics and quantum computing.
No login wall. No certificate fee to just watch. One professor, one blackboard, one camera that never stopped rolling for over 40 lectures.
Physics departments built million dollar tuition systems around gatekeeping exactly this material. IIT Madras just recorded it and gave it away through NPTEL, a program that now hosts over 3,200 free courses.
▪ $0 to watch, no account required
▪ Filmed lecture hall style since the early 2000s
▪ Same physics that underlies quantum computing today
🔖Just don't lose it and find a way to save the lecture, because other paid institutions don't want you to have access to it for free.
If you are an engineer or scientist or doctor turning to business, the first thing I would suggest is "Please go on a lot of sales calls, face rejection if necessary, but persist".
You will develop better communication skills as you realise that explaining your ideas is not so easy.
You will develop respect for sales people.
You may even become good at business!
There is no such thing as a business without selling something. Sometimes the most obvious thing has to be said!
One of the suggestions I have for our Honourable Chief Minister Joseph Vijay is to consider Singapore like laws on drug dealing and high level corruption.
Singapore awards the death penalty for drug dealing and for high level corruption. They do enforce these laws.
In the Indian context, at the Ministerial level and at the all India services level (IAS, IPS etc) we must:
1. Drastically raise the pay.
2. Any future corruption should attract the death penalty.
Raising the pay is equally important and we should declare an amnesty for past sins so we do not endlessly debate the past.
The courts should enfoce it, after proper review and due process but due process can not mean 30 year delay. Sigapore courts are very efficient and we can learn from them.
I have been an ardent fan of Lee Kuan Yew my entire adult life and I have read every one of his speeches! We must study his approach.

It was my honour today to sing our beautiful national anthem with Arunachal’s Karga Tinkle, the adorable 4-year-old who’s gone viral for a video where she says, “Please don’t call me Chinese, I am Indian.”
Don’t miss the end! ♥️🥹🇮🇳
We now have Volvo buses running from Srinagar, Kashmir, to New Delhi after the upgradation of NH44, something that wasn’t possible just a few years ago 🇮🇳

Just yesterday, a visitor from Chennai told me "I feel tired often in Chennai and I feel a lot less tired past 2 days, even after doing a lot of work".
We need to live closer to nature and in harmony with nature.
