We send missions into space, build world-class airports and run sleek Vande Bharat trains. And then millions of Indians commute like this every day. It’s risky, dangerous and unacceptable. India cannot aspire to first-world infrastructure while accepting this as normal. 😱
Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant.
- No VC funding.
- No viral launch.
- No TED talk.
- Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve.
He built a language that fit in kilobytes.
50 years later, it runs everything.
Linux kernel. Windows. macOS.
Every iPhone. Every Android.
NASA’s deep space probes.
The International Space Station.
> Python borrowed from it.
> Java borrowed from it.
> JavaScript borrowed from it.
If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow.
He died in 2011.
The same week as Steve Jobs.
Jobs got the front pages.
Ritchie got silence.
This Legend deserves to be celebrated.
Prime Minister Modi-ji's Independence Day call to Indian companies to join the ranks of leading global companies is deeply inspiring.
It means a stronger and deeper commitment to R&D at every level. Bharat must lead in algorithms and atoms, AI and photons, lenses and magnets, robots and rockets and all the technologies in between. We have the brains to do it!
His bold vision inspires us to work harder at Zoho.
Happy Independence Day! Jai Hind 🫡
ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆಯ HMT ಗತವೈಭವಕ್ಕೆ ಮರುಜೀವ! 🇮🇳⌚
ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ದಿನಾಚರಣೆಯ ಅಂಗವಾಗಿ ಹೆಚ್ಎಂಟಿ ಬಿಡುಗಡೆ ಮಾಡಿರುವ ವಿಶೇಷ ಕೈಗಡಿಯಾರ ಖರೀದಿಸಲು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಜಾಲಹಳ್ಳಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಶೋರೂಮ್ ಮುಂದೆ 2 ಕಿ.ಮೀಗೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚು ದೂರ ಸಾಲುಗಟ್ಟಿ ನಿಂತು ವಾಚ್ಗಳನ್ನು ಖರೀದಿಸುತ್ತಿರುವುದು #HMT ಮೇಲಿನ ಜನರ ನಂಬಿಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅಭಿಮಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಕ್ಷಿ.
ಮಾನ್ಯ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಬೃಹತ್ ಕೈಗಾರಿಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಉಕ್ಕು ಖಾತೆ ಸಚಿವರಾದ ಶ್ರೀ @hd_kumaraswamy ಅವರ ದೂರದೃಷ್ಟಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಅವಿರತ ಪರಿಶ್ರಮದಿಂದಾಗಿ ಹೆಚ್ಎಂಟಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಜನರ ಮನ ಗೆಲ್ಲುತ್ತಿದೆ. ಈ ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯು ಪುನರುಜ್ಜೀವನದತ್ತ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಇಡುತ್ತಿರುವುದು ಶ್ಲಾಘನೀಯ.
ಕನ್ನಡಿಗರ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆ, ದೇಶದ ಗರಿಮೆಯಾದ ನಮ್ಮ #HMT ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಯನ್ನು ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಒಟ್ಟಾಗಿ ಪ್ರೋತ್ಸಾಹಿಸೋಣ.

I can't believe the person in the white shirt, holding a Nandini milk packet and a bag of flowers, is the same man who once:
• Rattled Pakistani batters with his swing.
• The first Indian fast bowler to get 300 ODI wickets.
• Carried India's pace attack throughout the 1990s 😊

Around 233 shops encroaching on the footpath between the Historic Bengaluru Fort, Victoria Hospital and KR Market were cleared today by the BLR Central Corporation.
Many of these were permanent metal-fabricated structures erected using forged documents purportedly issued by the erstwhile BBMP, completely blocking the view of the Historic Fort and leaving no space for pedestrians in one of Bengaluru’s busiest corridors.
After finding the documents to be bogus, the Hon’ble High Court directed the occupants to vacate within 15 days. Authorities waited 20 days before carrying out the clearance today, marking a major victory for the lakhs of citizens who use every day.
Freedom from waste.
Let’s JCB for a Better Bengaluru.
From August 1, we are launching the Just Clean Bengaluru campaign to reclaim Bengaluru’s footpaths and public spaces by clearing construction debris, discarded materials and other waste.
I urge every property owner to keep their private land clean. A cleaner Bengaluru is a shared responsibility. Together, let’s give our city the Freedom from Waste it deserves.

Karunanidhi’s granddaughter Kayalvizhi (Alagiri’s daughter) caught on camera slapping a bank manager in Chennai. He had requested her to repair a lift in a commercial building she owns where the bank has a branch.

In 2016, Dr. Geetha Manjunath was heading AI research at Xerox's Bengaluru lab, a role that followed a PhD from IISc, a stint as Principal Scientist at HP Labs, and over two decades building enterprise AI systems. Then her cousin, in her early forties, was diagnosed with breast cancer at a stage too advanced to treat.
"The mammogram had missed her cancer earlier," Geetha would later say. She quit her job soon after.
Mammography, the global standard for breast cancer screening, has real limits. It uses ionising radiation, is often painful enough that women actively avoid it, and is known to be less reliable in younger women and in the dense breast tissue common across Indian women. In India, where breast cancer accounts for over a quarter of all cancer diagnoses and the five-year survival rate trails far behind the United States and Australia, late detection is not a statistic. It is the difference between a cure and a funeral.
Geetha had spent years working with thermal imaging on unrelated projects. She wondered if temperature variation in breast tissue could reveal what mammograms missed, and built the science to test it. The result, Thermalytix, requires no radiation, no incisions, and no physical contact: a woman sits before a thermal sensor for a few minutes, and an AI model trained on clinical data analyses the image.
Niramai Health Analytix, the company Geetha founded and now leads as CEO and CTO, has since screened over 300,000 women across more than 20 countries, built on 39 patents and validated in 55+ peer-reviewed clinical studies. Geetha herself has been named to Forbes India's Top 20 Self-Made Women and inducted as a Fellow of the Indian National Academy of Engineering.
For India, where cost and discomfort keep millions of women away from regular screening, a radiation-free test that can be deployed in a primary clinic is not a convenience. It is a chance to catch what would otherwise be caught too late.
Pooja Goyal, mother of Siya Goyal, said that Chetan and Siya were just friends.
A few days back, she said that she didn't even know Chetan.
When the stadium video of Chetan and Siya went viral, she's now saying they were just friends.
Mothers like her hide the past of their hoe daughters.
