Throughout my sporting career, I questioned my coaches, challenged ideas and remained curious. Not because I lacked respect but because I wanted to understand, learn and get better. I worry that when athletes feel they cannot speak freely, something far more troubling happens over time. They slowly stop questioning even in their own minds. And when that happens we loose something essential to sporting excellence. We need athletes who question their own work, their coaches, the methods recommended to them and the structures they operate within. Not out of defiance but out of a genuine desire to improve. What some might consider indiscipline may, in fact, be essential to growth. There is a difference between an athlete who refuses to learn and one who refuses to stop asking questions. Sport must be wise enough to recognise that difference.

I never really understood what gaslighting meant until I started following the functioning of the Delhi Police in recent times. Truly an elite masterclass.

a) So is it the norm that you print full page ads and raise the invoice later? I would like to use this offer.

b) Why not take the full fees and donate it to a women’s rights charity or the victims of the crime you tried to whitewash? They got the full page propaganda for free in this case.

c) If you think it was such a horrible idea (do you, even now?) then what action has been taken against the team behind accepting that ad?

“I wasn’t the fastest guy in the world. I wouldn’t have done well in an Olympiad or a math contest. But I like to ponder. And pondering things, just sort of thinking about it and thinking about it, turns out to be a pretty good approach.’

Very good advice for thesis advisors here. (I would tend more to the usage 'advised' or even 'guided', as opposed to 'supervised', but that's just me.)

I was expecting to hate Tim Hartford's piece, which essentially says that the math in economics "feels wrong" for the subject.

But I liked it! He's right. Today's economics does invest a lot of its mathematical effort in the wrong stuff.

Dont tell people about your problems!

As ad hocs, DU made us do the labour of making syllabus for the NEP batches. And now in hiring, they will not hire the same people who designed the curriculum. Good enough to make a syllabus but not teach the same.
