We've lost an absolute giant today. RIP Dimitri Bertsekas. His probability and optimization books got me through my masters. Massive loss for the MIT community and the field.

As Lucknow prepares to host a World Cup match, the city offers far more than just sports entertainment. From its tantalizing cuisine to its rich cultural heritage, Lucknow is a feast for the senses. If you're visiting this historical city, here are my top 10 recommendations to make your trip unforgettable:

1. The Breakfast Delights of Lucknow
Begin your day with a hearty breakfast at Raheem's for their sumptuous Kulchey Nihari. For a lighter fare, try Netram ki Poori Sabzi in Ameenabad or the melt-in-your-mouth Malai Makkhan.

2. Satisfying Lunch Options
For lunch, don't miss the legendary Galawat Waale Kebabs from Tunday Kababi in Ameenabad. Another must-try is the Khasta Aaloo from Durga Khasta on Latouche Road.

3. Biryani Extravaganza
No visit to Lucknow is complete without sampling its biryanis. Head over to Idrees in Chowk or Wahid Biryani in Ameenabad for an aromatic and flavorful biryani experience.

4. Kebab Galore
Explore an array of kebabs at Naushijaan. From the tender Kakori to the spicy Majlisi and the classic Boti and Shaami, each kebab is a culinary masterpiece.

5. Sweet Indulgence
For desserts, try the luscious kulfis from Prakash or Moti Mahal. If you're in the mood for something different, don't forget the Malai Gilauri Paan from Raam Aasrey or the Mehrotra Paan on Stadium Road.

6. Local Gastronomic Wonders
Don't miss other local treats like the Burma Biscuit Co., Gadbad Jhaale ki Matar Chaat, Royal Cafe's Basket Chaat, Sharma ki Chai, and Keval's Bun Makkhan and Samosa.

7. Authentic Chikankari Shopping
Head to Chowk Akbari Gate for authentic Chikankari apparel. Be cautious to opt for the original hand-embroidered pieces rather than machine-made ones.

8. Must-Visit Heritage Sites
For a cultural experience, visit the Imambaras—both Bada and Chota. Explore the regal Kothis of Lucknow like Farhat Baksh, Chattar Manzil, and Dilkusha Kothi. Don't forget to wander through the bustling bazaars of Ameenabad and Chowk.

9. Educational Institutions
Take a detour to La Martiniere School, a splendid architectural marvel and one of the most prestigious educational institutions in Lucknow.

10. Read Up On Lucknow
To delve deeper into the history and culture of Lucknow, consider purchasing books such as "Lucknow: The Last Phase of an Oriental Culture," "Awadh Symphony," and "Lucknow: Then and Now."

Experience Lucknow in all its glory, from its intricate crafts to its rich history and mouth-watering cuisine. This is a city that promises not just a feast for your taste buds but also for your soul.

As math camp time for PhD students rolls around, I have to plug the set of YouTube videos I used to brush up on my math before my first year. A staggeringly large public good from University of Arizona's Economics Department, 108 high quality videos

@jeevantrampal Thank you professor! It would not have been possible without your support and guidance.
