महाराष्ट्र और कोंकण का हापुस, alphonso, गुजरात का केसर, यह तो आमरस की जान है, उत्तर प्रदेश का दशहरी, मेरी काशी का लंगड़ा, बिहार का जर्दालू, दक्षिण भारत का बंगनपल्ली, तोतापुरी, नीलम, मलगोवा, बंगाल का हिमसागर, ओडिशा और आंध्र प्रदेश का सुवर्णरखा।

यानी, जगह बदलती है, आम का रूप-रंग और उसका स्वाद भी बदल जाता है। आम की ये यात्रा, अब गाँव से, global market तक भी पहुंच रही है।

On arrival in Rome yesterday evening, Prime Minister @narendramodi received an energetic and warm welcome by the vibrant Indian community in Italy. Their enthusiasm and affection reflected the deep attachment with the motherland.

Prime Minister @narendramodi witnessed colourful performances including Kathak, Kuchipudi and Bharatnatyam by Italian artists. 

The reception also included a soulful rendering of Indian classical music by Italian musicians. The enchanting display of Santoor, Tabla, Bansuri and Sitar showcased the richness of India’s musical legacy.

For many friends and acquaintances who have been asking when the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra 2026 registration will begin, I believe the site (https://t.co/LFqQNoSsiV) is live now. I was asked because we (me and better half) managed to do it last year. Here's the link to a short film that I made about our experience: https://t.co/3C5aZzGlGM and an essay that I wrote: https://t.co/mBOOApHVE9

An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with a Tempo Mach 2 appears.

The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!"

He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?"

The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!"

The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that?

Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?"

The AirBus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the washroom, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry."

The moral of the story is: When you’re young, speed and adrenaline seems to be great. But as you get older and wiser, you learn that comfort and peace are more important.

This is called S.O.S.: Slower, Older and Smarter.

Dedicated to all my senior friends ~ it’s time to slow down and enjoy the rest of the trip.

The richest house in the world... This is the house of chess world champion Viswanathan Anand! Richness is different from Ambani.. Adani.. Tata.. Birla.. Anand himself and his wife show us their house. Must watch till the end The last Green Touch will leave you speechless!! @vishy64theking ❤️ It is another great example of the next generation (of people who have made a mark with their life) goes after things like art and sport instead of becoming doctor or computer engineer. Makes even more sense in the age of AI

[Ramanajyothi @Searchof_WhoamI]

A young man in his mid-twenties knocks on the door of a renowned Guru. He says: “I’ve come to you because I wish to study Vedas.”

“Do you know Sanskrit?” the Guru asks.

“No,” replies the young man.

“Have you studied any Indian philosophy?”

“No. But don’t worry. I just finished my doctoral dissertation at Harvard on logic. So now, I would just like to round up my education with a little study of the Vedas.”

“I doubt,” the Guru says, “that you are ready to study Vedas. It is the deepest knowledge ever known. If you wish, however, I am willing to examine you in logic, and if you pass that test I will teach you Vedas.”

The young man agrees.

Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

The young man stares at the Guru. “Is that really a test in logic?”

The Guru nods.

”The one with the dirty face washes his face“- he answers confidently.

“Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face.”

“Very clever,” the young man says. “Give me another test.”

The Guru again holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face, the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“We have already established that. The one with the clean face washes his face.”

“Wrong. Each one washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face. When the one with the dirty face sees the one with the clean face wash his face, he also washes his face. So, each one washes his face.”

“I didn’t think of that,” says the young man. It’s shocking to me that I could make an error in logic. Test me again.”

The Guru holds up two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“Each one washes his face.”

“Wrong. Neither one washes his face. Examine the logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. But when the one with the clean face sees the one with the dirty face doesn’t wash his face, he also doesn’t wash his face. So, neither one washes his face.”

The young man is desperate. “I am qualified to study Vedas. Please give me one more test.”

He groans, though, when the Guru lifts two fingers. “Two men come down a chimney. One comes out with a clean face; the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one washes his face?”

“Neither one washes his face.”

“Wrong. Do you now see why logic is an insufficient basis for studying Vedas? Tell me, how is it possible for two men to come down the same chimney, and for one to come out with a clean face and the other with a dirty face? Don’t you see? The whole question is nonsense, foolishness, and if you spend your whole life trying to answer foolish questions, all your answers will be foolish, too.”

That's why having wisdom is more important than having logic.

Infinite love
Infinite wisdom.

Seeing Plants Breathe

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in plant biology by developing a way to watch plants
"breathe" in real time.

While we have known for centuries that plants exchange gases through microscopic pores called stomata, we have never before been able to see these pores in action while simultaneously measuring the gases they are moving.

In January 2026, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign introduced a new system called Stomata In-Sight.

This technology allows scientists to watch the "mouths" of a plant open and close in high-definition 3D, providing a live look at how a plant balances its survival.

This isn't just a cool video; it's a vital tool for the future of food security.

Dhurandhar background music has reached NBA

[CINEINFINITY @cine_infinity]

Every song in #Dhurandhar was placed with absolute precision - not a single track felt wasted. 🎬🎶

From Hamza’s explosive entry (Ishq Jalakar) to the climax title track, each song elevated the narrative, mood, and character arcs seamlessly. Emotional beats, tension, swagger, politics, romance - everything had its own sonic identity.

Using 18 songs without breaking the flow is no small feat, and Dhurandhar pulls it off with rare confidence. This is how music-driven storytelling is done right.

And that #Dhurandhar2 glimpse with “Aahh Men”? Pure menace.

🔥 Cinema + Music = Impact
