National Science Day.
In June 1924, Albert Einstein received a letter from an Indian who admitted that he was a stranger but was sending Einstein an article. The article addressed an issue in quantum theory with which Einstein had struggled.
Einstein read it and realized that the author, Satyendra Nath Bose of Dhaka University, had solved the flaw.
Einstein immediately decided to collaborate, and their joint work yielded the concept of a new phenomenon, what they called the “Bose–Einstein condensation”.
Over 75 years later, Eric Cornell, Wolfgang Ketterle and Carl Wieman won the Nobel Prize for Physics for actually creating the Bose-Einstein condensate, though Bose never won the award himself.
This is that famous letter!
@sundarpichai Your dad and my dad went to school together in Srivilliputtur. My dad was talking about it and I thought it will be good to connect them both over phone. My dad's name is Thothadri. He is in Madras now.
@avataram He received it last year. This year some 80 plus batchmates are going is what he said. For 35th year. He has some engagements in Bangalore as well

Esteemed Prashant Bhushan sir, your jubilant post practically dances with glee over India's supposed 'Rafale loss'—if such a thing even exists. Allow me to enlighten you with a touch of reality, served with a side of disdain. On the night of May 6-7, we executed an operation so audacious it made history quiver. Without SEAD, we stared down China’s finest tech and Pakistan’s top guns—yes, their best pilots—and crushed it. Casualties? ZERO. Objectives? Obliterated with a thunderous YES. Our Rafales danced in the skies, while Sukhois unleashed BrahMos like a cosmic slap. The other side wasn’t tossing pebbles, sir, but we outplayed them. Tactical? No, legendary. Keep up, will you sir!! #OperationSindoor #IndiaTriumphs
@airtelindia I got a DM asking for my number. When I provide my number, they keep asking me for my number. Is there a customer care executive u can speak with
