On my way to the ground in Delhi and my heart sank when I saw people feeding a whole army of pigeons. Doctors have been shouting from the rooftops about the dangers of inhaling pigeon droppings and the severe lung disease it could lead to. Please, let us stop feeding pigeons.

There are so many brilliant scientists in India who have done incredible work across different fields, yet we rarely hear about them while they are alive. Their stories often reach us only when they appear in textbooks or when a homage is written in their honour. Shouldn't the

Gregor Shamsa Yeah didn't expect this lack of attention from Vince. Zero research on where they are from, what kind of clothes etc. Broad, bad stereotypes.

For all of us who were confused about that scene in "Good Will Hunting" when the professor taught Fourier analysis on the board, but assigned an exercise in graph theory at the end of the class.
