This 4,500-year-old terracotta dice from the Indus-Saraswati Civilization is a powerful reminder of India’s living heritage. Dicing is also mentioned as a popular game in Rig and Atharva Vedas (two of the four sacred Vedic scriptures).
From symbols and craftsmanship to rituals, yogic practices, and collective memory, numerous elements of ancient Indian civilization continue to thrive in the daily social and religious life of Indian society across regions and communities.
Civilizational inheritance is not just about geography or ruins, it is defined by living customs, symbols, rituals, and unbroken cultural consciousness. India is the enduring living continuity of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization.

Age is not an excuse to not try.
At the age of 32, Julius Caesar broke down in tears before a statue of Alexander the Great, realizing he had accomplished almost nothing in his life while Alexander had already conquered much of the known world.
Serving as a minor official in Spain and burdened by heavy debts, Caesar felt his existence was insignificant by comparison.
This moment of painful self-reflection became a turning point that sparked a fierce new determination.
He returned to Rome, rose rapidly through politics, conquered Gaul, invaded Britain, won a civil war, and fundamentally transformed Rome into a vast empire.
@Lipstick_Logic@chiragbarjatya It definitely is. I had a friend in college who used to hide behind us while having chicken biryani in the mess because he had a cousin studying in the same batch who would get their family kicked out of village if they got to know about his eating habits.
This is exactly what I’ve been saying.
People are grinding LeetCode and DSA, but many startups have already shifted to system design and live coding rounds.
As we move deeper into the AI era, being a strong builder and understanding real world systems matters far more.
DSA and on campus prep have been overhyped for years, especially in the Indian engineering ecosystem. You really see this when you try to switch or explore off campus opportunities.
Most of what you prepare for on campus doesn’t translate well to the actual market.
In the global market, it’s even clearer. Companies don’t care much about your college, branch, or cgpa. What actually matters:
• Skills
• Projects
• Proof of work
If you’re in your 1st or 2nd year, focus on building.
Ship projects. Share them publicly. Document your journey.
Make your LinkedIn, X, GitHub, and resume strong.
In today’s market, that will take you much further than just a degree.
At 18, I was obsessed with Neuroplasticity.
I've been doing RL in my brain for 5 years now - training my amygdala and prefrontal cortex to become the person I wanna be.
Through Neuroplasticity - you can rewire your subconscious thinking by repeatedly feeding your brain the right signal. Every time you repeat a thought or behavior, you're strengthening a specific neural pathway.
Neuroscientists call this Hebbian potentiation - neurons that fire together, wire together.
Do it enough, and it becomes your default way of thinking.
I used Instagram for this:
I saved a bunch of posts that reflect how I want to think.
For me that's:
> Virat Kohli
> Larry Ellison
> Steve Jobs
> Travis Kalanick.
I'm interested in how they "think". Your list can be completely different.
Every single night, right before I sleep, I just watch through all my saved posts on repeat. The timing matters - your brain is in its most receptive state right before sleep which is when your hippocampus starts locking short-term impressions into long-term memory.
I focus on three things:
> what they say
> how they say it
> why they think like that.
That activates your mirror neuron system - your brain starts rehearsing those patterns even just from watching.
I kept doing this for 21 days straight. And I genuinely can't explain it well enough - I started thinking like them. Talking like them. Responding to situations like them.
It changed something real in how I think. I think it'll do the same for you.
@KatochShahab7@garou321123@frontierindica No one is saying that you go from Tanmay Bhatt to Henry Cavil in 6 months just by setting a routine. But a person at the start of a 6 months disciplined routine and at the end of it are 2 different persons by looks and habits if they do it in a disciplined manner.
Him duct taping the mags together for faster reloads, starting from the top of the house to maintain the height advantage, checking corners for ambushes, hugging the walls, using just one or two bullets per target, it’s all in the tiny details.
