So I walked into the estate office of my society and saw a confident young woman at the desk giving instructions to a security guard in Marathi. A phone call came, and she effortlessly switched to English. Then a resident walked up, and she helped him in Gujarati.
Finally she turned to me and said, in flawless Punjabi:
“Sorry sir, tuhanu wait karni pai. Dasso, main ki kar sakdi haan?”
Sometimes, the most impressive language model is sitting right across the desk from you.

Actually, public prayer is not a problem. Occupying the streets and roads to pray is. In J&K a Muslim majority state I have never seen Namaaz being offered on the streets. India's Muslim citizens belong to India and India belongs to them. To resort to uncivic behaviour ..
“gathering peacefully for prayer acquires the force of civic affirmation.
Muslims praying publicly sends one message. It says: Muslims are here, they belong here, and they have the same claim to the city” as others
Why BJP govts obsess over public namaz

Of course she is ! She went on record saying that eggs were the source of her energy! And these eggs are free! And she never turns down stuff that is given free!
She is almost begging for some eggs to be pelted at her, so she can play victim and do some aura farming! @MahuaMoitra’s desperate overtures to the @BJP4India aren’t working, so she is getting more and more desperate by the day!

The Chinese invested a total of about about $200 million in DeepSeek spread over several years. That figure is a fraction of the annual profit which our IT Majors make. So to blame the Babus here is strange!
Indians are blaming Infy/Murthy/Nandan for a lack of home-grown LLM. But that blame is misplaced. Infy/Murthy/Nandan could never start an AI company. They had money and they could have fund something. But that again, is their money and why should they risk it?
The real culprit here is Amitabh Kant and other IAS like him. These are the people, why I left India and started two companies in the US. These are the people, why much of Indian talent left to work for US based companies. And these folks did well.
Let's say the government gives me $10B and ask me to set up an AI lab in India. Am I qualified to do it? YES. Will I do it? HELL NO
And you would ask why? Some would say that I have a cozy life in the US. Some would say, I have deep connection in the US, including family. All of that is correct but does not pin point the reason why I wont start a company in India.
The real reason is Babu. Unlike, many In India who think competing for 1000 seats using some bullshit essay writing contest makes Babu some wizard, I have not come across one, I will hire as an analyst. Under no circumstance, I am gonna report to a babu (Happy report to Dharmendra Pradhan or Smriti Irani though). Also, under no circumstances, I will accept a position where I am unable to fire and put an IAS in jail if they reported to me and indulged in some corruption.
Till this babu problem is fixed, no NRI would come to India. If I were the CIA or CCP, trying to ensure that India does not gain AI independence, I would make every effort to protect Babu fiefdom.

Actually, Pakistanis rediscovering their real roots instead of fictitious roots in Arabia, Persia, Central Asia etc is a very welcome development. May this continue!

Funny that for Punjab in Pakistan only the first line is true!
Punjab is the only state in India where Muslims are welcome.
Also Hindus.

So they did! And I am happy that Pakistanis are finally discovering that their ancestors were local not Arabs, Persians, Turks, Greeks etc.

The tragedy of Bengal: By a strange twist of fate, men of exceptional calibre in Bengal who had a profound impact either died or disappeared young. Only if each of them had twenty more years to their lives.

Actually, the deaths in The Longest Day are quick, heroic and relatively painless. That way Saving Private Ryan was far more gruesome and by many accounts more realistic.
Au contraire madam!
The film presents D-Day landings as a grand, heroic and noble military spectacle with high pitched speeches, creased uniforms, shiny medals, witty one liners, rousing background music and military caricatures.
Human cost is an afterthought in the film.

14th June is going to be SPECIAL for the YOUTHs of West Bengal.
This is the date -
- when Amul will lay foundation stone of their 700 cr plant in the state
- when the first BJP Govt of the state led by @SuvenduWB is going to organise their first state govt job recruitment exam.
And all these are happening with 35 days of Govt formation.
So TIME was never an issue, intention is.
This is the difference between BJP's Policy of prosperity and TMC's petty politics.

This won’t make some people happy. It’s amazing BJP doesn’t credit for managing such crises. We Indians suffer from the PhD (Pull Him Down) syndrome. No shortage of energy in country, LPG, oil supply situation comfortable”@HardeepSPuri economictimes.indiatimes.com…

Is it because Pakistanis don't consider Mohenjo Daro to be Pakistani?
It's a moment of shame that only less than 20% of Mohenjo-Daro has been excavated in the last 79 years.
This site was unearthed by the Brits a century ago and we just had to complete what they started. Couldn't do that either.
Let alone unearthing new sites and saving the rest.

Eggsiting times these! You don't eggsactly know who will say or do what!
Two weeks of egg-therapy has done for popularity of eggs than years of marketing by @neccofficial could achieve. What Bengal thinks etc…. #eggs

Looking back, it is amusing to see how easily the invincible Trinamool split! Now is the time to make hay while the sun shines, to use these breakaways to the advantage of BJP!
As Samik Bhattacharya famously said, we are a political party. Not a Harinam or band party.

US' decision to put export controls on Anthropic is not a surprise. This was the logical next step after restrictions on Mythos earlier this year. India may have anticipated it but not clear what they plan to do. The current AI Mission should be turbocharged because we're already late to the party

More importantly, did she not say that Eggs were the source of her energy? (She giggled after that of course but we will let that pass for now). And these eggs are gratis.
Under which section of IPC or BNS is egg-throwing an offence?
Just asking Mahua Moitra.

Didn't she once say that Eggs were the source of her energy? Why this dislike of eggs that come gratis?
The fearless woman who is afraid of getting egged!

Performed a quick and dirty analysis on Prowess data for NIFTY 50 firms' R&D to revenue ratio for the time period 2015-24.
1. 40% of the firms do absolutely NO R&D. And these are the 50 largest companies of India representing 65%-70% market cap.
2. Average R&D is a minuscule 0.74% of total revenue. That is, for every Rs. 100/- earned India's biggest firms do not even give Rs. 1/- for R&D. For comparison, global average is ~3%. For Tech stocks in US it is closer to ~10%.
3. For the technology firms the ratio is 2.3%, with BEL leading the pack at ~7%. Remove BEL and the average falls to 0.75% (HCL, INFY and TCS).
4. The figure below shows the R&D as a percentage of Total Revenue for the 29 firms for which R&D expenses were available for the time period.
Days of labor arbitrage are over. Are our biggest firms still asleep at the wheel?

Actually they can. Not overnight. But they can. But if they can't, what good are reservations then?

Economic status cannot erase your caste identities.
Economic status cannot cure the social stigma and prejudice.
Reservation cannot be solely based on class status.
Class cannot fix caste issue.
