TIL Tycho Brahe is known as the last great naked astronomer. His sharp observations were the basis for Kepler's laws of planetary motion. He died as the telescope was being introduced. The skies must have been glorious before the industrial revolution.

Old Whites - If there is anything outstanding about non-white culture attribute it to foreign sources
New Whites - Attribute it to Aliens. The more outlandish it is, the more difficult it is to verify. Also helps you calm down & is re-assuring - browns cant be all that great

Got frustrated with the dishonest media coverage during recent Kargil anniversary. Establishment journos who think they can divert attention from the defence & political establishment by constantly whipping up hysteria over emotional topics - providing cover fire is what they do!

Looks like Praveen Swami is the only one who remembered the 40th anniversary of the Chennai Airport bombings in 1984. Colossal screwups by the Central gov agencies discussed. Chk it out on the Print's YT channel.

Nandan Nilekani was heavily criticized for saying what a leading AI authority is saying now. Both in the case of R3 and Nilekani, how a common sensical piece of advice to not let go of your existing service advantage, is so offensive is a little puzzling.

One thing about folks carrying water for CCP is that they have a very thin skin, whether it is N.Mams or S.L.Kanthan. What I asked was not even remotely offensive & mildly trollish. He is like desi fanbois who believe that India is moving ahead because some MNCs opened shop here.

From these regular twitter spats, it is very clear that being good at passing exams, getting into a pedigree pooch college gives you tunnel vision - that becomes the be all and end all of everything. Hard work, Social mobility is the cover fire
