I am sorry Krk, I was not familiar with your game 🔥

(1/4) My second year of college, I took my first course with Prof Khan. He had a reputation for being a tough grader, strict about readings and sharp with his comments. I felt nervous as I entered his classroom.

Professor Khan was one of the finest mentors I’ve ever had the fortune of being guided by. Very few people can inspire you the way he did and continues to; and his encouragement kept me going through a very tricky period in my life. He stands steadfastly with his students and +

The Indian National Congress stands with our Armed Forces, bureaucrats, academicians, intellectuals and their families. I condemn any character assassination, vilification, trolling, harassment, unlawful arrest of any individual and vandalism of any business entity, either

Kuffir Nalgundwar, co-founder of Round Table India and a tireless anti-caste thinker, is facing a severe health crisis. After a brain stroke, Parkinson’s, and now a debilitating neurological disorder, he is bedridden and in distress.

Didn’t realize Jayant Narlikar passed away yesterday 💔 Apart from his contributions to physics, his death also points to the dwindling away of good science communicators in India

I review Swapna Kona Nayudu 's fascinating new book on Nehru and non-alignment - was a great summer read, and learnt so much in the process. Please read, buy, and engage!

Sanghi ecosystem going after ORF to deflect blame from PM/FM was not on my 2025 bingo cards, but then this is a wild wild year 😭😭
