@NalinisKitchen It was 1 AM nad went walking to bus stand. On the way there was Police patrolling vehicle stopped by. They enquired about what happened and when I told them the story, they dropped me at the bus stand to collect the luggage. I never felt outsider. It was so beautiful
This Indian guy from Hyderabad got rejected by 27 universities. Then he built the tool that 90% of AI research runs on. 🤯
His name is Soumith Chintala. Grew up with no computer at home. Used his neighbour's. Went to VIT Vellore. Not IIT. Not IIM.
Applied to grad schools in the US. Got rejected 27 times. Eventually made it to NYU where he started working under Yann LeCun one of the godfathers of deep learning.
Joined Meta's AI research lab. Built something called PyTorch a framework that lets researchers build AI models the way they actually think. Clean. Simple. Pythonic.
There was internal pushback. Google already had TensorFlow. Nobody thought Meta needed its own framework.
He shipped it anyway.
Today PyTorch powers almost every major AI breakthrough you've heard of. Tesla Autopilot. OpenAI's early models. Stability AI. 80-90% of all AI research papers use it.
He led it for 8 years. Personally answered thousands of community questions. Rose to VP at Meta. Then donated PyTorch to the Linux Foundation so no single company could control it.
DeepMind rejected him. Multiple times. His first job offer was a test engineer at Amazon.
He just left Meta after 11 years and joined Mira Murati's new startup as CTO.
From a kid in Hyderabad with no computer to the guy who built the backbone of modern AI.
27 rejections. One framework. Changed everything.

2015 - This will never happen again. We will make the exam system stronger.
2016 - Strict action will be taken. Security will be improved next time.
2018 - Students should not worry. We are fixing all weak points.
2024 - Nobody will escape. Big reforms are coming in the exam process.
2026 - We promise full transparency now. Such incidents won’t happen again.
Every paper leak brings the same recycled promises, while students keep paying the price for failures in the system.
All the shrill cine-cats have gone quiet now. No loud calls for swift justice, encounter-policing, performative moral outrage, tweet barrage from any corner of the film fraternity. Utthappudu ayithe andharu pululu, simhalu, vetagaallu.. iga ippudu endhuko moogaboyyinaru mari
