@internetumpire This year has been the most comfortable imho. I remember having ACs off around the end of April / beginning of May.. The last couple of weeks have been hot.. Short summer though..

Miracle on Mt. Everest: Missing Sherpa Found Alive After One Week 😱

In an extremely rare and unbelievable survival story from Mt. Everest, Dawa Sherpa (Hillary Dawa), 52, who went missing on May 29 above Camp III, has been found alive after surviving nearly a week in the death zone.

This morning, a garbage management team from SPCC (Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee) rescued him near Crampon Point, where he was reportedly seen slowly crawling toward Everest Base Camp.

Without food or water, battling extreme cold and high altitude, Dawa somehow managed to survive one of the harshest environments on Earth. He is currently suffering from frostbite and is speaking very slowly, but he is alive and being taken to Gorakshep for treatment.
Yesterday, even an aerial search team could not locate him — making today’s rescue feel nothing short of a miracle.

I sincerely hope that either @netflix or @PrimeVideo portray this into a Movie. The World needs to see & appreciate the grit and resilience of Sherpas.

Know about the Leiden (Aanaimangalam) copperplates retrieved by India from Netherlands after many centuries:

> The first copper plate to be discovered on Cholas
> Excavated by Dutch East Indies Company (VOC) during the construction of Fort Vijf Sinnen around 1700
> Brought to the Netherlands in 1712 by a pastor, whose descendants donated it to Leiden University in 1862
> Deciphered in 1886 by Pandit Natesa Sastri and Burgess

> Issued by GOAT king Rajaraja the first
> 21 copper plates held together by a bronze ring with the regal seal
> First 5 plates are in Sanskrit, rest 16 are in Tamil
> Weighs 30kg, and are numbered from plates 2-21
> Mentions the lineage of Cholas starting from Vishnu till Surya, Ikshavaku and then Manu, the king who gave justice to a bereaved cow
> Mentions about Devasura Manthan with Shiva becoming Neelakanta, and the Amrita being distributed to Devas by a Chola king

>Records the historic grant given by Rajaraja to ruler of Sri Vijaya (Indonesia) for constructing a Chulamanivarma Vihara in Aanaimangalam of Nagapattinam district
> Boundaries of the Vihara were determined by the ceremonial circumambulation of a female elephant
>Sanskrit plates were written by Kottaiyur's Ananta Narayanan of Vashishta gotra
> Documents in detail the 41 officials who executed the edict, the artisans who wrote out the words and the sculptors who rendered the inscription
> Poetically states that only Veda Vyasa can truly capture the fully glory of Cholas, but the author is trying his best
> States "As long as the crescent adorned Shiva resides on Kailasha and Vishnu does Yoga Nithirai on Paarkadal, and the earthly lamps Sun and Moon drive darkness away, may the Chola clan protect this Earth"
> In the summer of 2023, the Indian government submitted a request to Leiden University to return the Chola Plates
> The Leiden/Aanaimangalam Chola Plates will now go to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) in New Delhi

In 2003, while filming in the Gobi Desert, a German crew captured something truly extraordinary.
After a difficult two-day labor, a mother camel rejected her newborn calf. A nomadic family then performed the ancient Hoos ritual — a traditional singing ceremony passed down for generations.

As the ritual ended, the mother camel began to cry… and finally accepted her baby.
This emotional moment became one of the most memorable scenes in the Oscar-nominated documentary The Story of the Weeping Camel.

The Game of Thrones theme was composed by Ramin Djawadi, who is of Iranian descent.

Hearing this melody played with Persian instruments and the daf drum is absolutely beautiful.

He was Satyendra Nath Bose, an Indian physicist whose quiet brilliance in the 1920s forever altered our understanding of the quantum world.

In 1924, Bose, then a 30-year-old professor in British India, sent a groundbreaking manuscript directly to Albert Einstein. The paper offered a novel, more elegant derivation of Planck's law for blackbody radiation by treating light quanta (photons) as indistinguishable particles—a radical departure from classical statistical methods. Impressed by its insight, Einstein personally translated the work into German and facilitated its publication in the prestigious Zeitschrift für Physik.

This exchange sparked a brief but profound collaboration. Einstein extended Bose's statistical approach to material atoms, predicting a bizarre new state of matter at ultra-low temperatures: what we now call a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), where particles behave as a single quantum wave. Bose's original framework became known as Bose-Einstein statistics, and the class of particles that obey it—those with integer spin, including photons, gluons, W and Z bosons, and the Higgs boson—was later named bosons in his honor by Paul Dirac.

Unlike fermions (matter particles like electrons), which obey the Pauli exclusion principle and cannot occupy the same quantum state, bosons can pile into identical states en masse. This "social" behavior underpins extraordinary macroscopic phenomena: the coherent light of lasers, the zero-resistance flow in superconductors, and the collective quantum coherence in BECs.

Despite the monumental impact—his statistics describe half of all fundamental particles and enabled key advances in quantum field theory, condensed matter physics, and particle physics—Bose remained remarkably unassuming. He continued teaching at universities in Dhaka and Calcutta (now Kolkata), mentored students, pursued ideas in X-ray crystallography, unified field theory, and other areas, and never sought the spotlight. Nominated several times for the Nobel Prize (notably for Bose-Einstein statistics and his later work), he was never awarded it, and his name rarely appears in popular accounts of 20th-century physics.

There's a poignant humility in his story: a man whose legacy literally names one of the two fundamental families of particles in the universe, yet whose personal fame never matched the scale of his contribution. Bose reminds us that true influence often arrives without fanfare. Some breakthroughs echo through textbooks and technologies, while their creators work in the background, content to let the universe carry their ideas forward—even if history's spotlight rarely finds them.

செந்தில் பாலாஜி அமைச்சராக இருந்த காலகட்டத்தில் டிரான்ஸ்பார்மர் கொள்முதலில் நடைபெற்ற ரூ 397 கோடி ஊழல் பற்றிய அறப்போரின் புகாரை உயர்நீதிமன்றம் CBIக்கு கடந்த மாதம் மாற்றியது. இதை எதிர்த்து காசி மற்றும் மின்சார வாரியம் தொடர்ந்த மேல்முறையீடு வழக்குகளை இன்று தள்ளுபடி செய்தது உச்சநீதிமன்றம். அறப்போர் தொடரும்!

பேராசிரியர்களை போலியாக கணக்கு காண்பித்த விவரகாரத்தில், மோசடியில் ஈடுபட்ட எந்த ஒரு கல்லூரி மீதும் கடந்த மூன்று ஆண்டுகளாக நடவடிக்கை எடுக்கவில்லை.

முன்னாள் உயர்கல்வித்துறை அமைச்சர் திரு கோவி செழியன் மற்றும் அண்ணா பல்கலைக்கழக நிர்வாகமும், ஒவ்வொரு முறையும், நாங்கள் விதிகளை உறுதியாக்குகிறோம், எச்சரிக்கை செய்துள்ளோம், கண்காணிக்கிறோம் என பொய் கதைகளை கூறினார்களே தவிர,  நடவடிக்கை பற்றிய எந்த தகவலும் வெளியிடவில்லை.

இந்த நிலையில், நடப்பு கல்வி ஆண்டிற்கான சேர்க்கை விண்ணப்பம் துவங்கியுள்ளது. புதிய உயர்கல்வித்துறை அமைச்சர் மற்றும் முதலமைச்சர் என்ன செய்ய போகிறார்கள்? @CMOTamilnadu
