Speaking on this very thought, and other themes, today in Goa.
Don’t come to Goa thinking it is Thailand. If you want Thailand kind of tourism culture, you are most welcome to go to Thailand. Goa is Goa. We welcome tourists who want to experience Goa’s culture.

हम सबने बचपन से सुना है कि खाना खाने के तुरंत बाद पानी नहीं पीना चाहिए, लेकिन क्या यह सच में नुकसानदायक है या सिर्फ एक मिथ? इस वीडियो में हम वैज्ञानिक तथ्यों के आधार पर समझेंगे कि खाने से पहले, खाने के दौरान और खाने के बाद पानी पीने का पाचन, वजन और मेटाबॉलिज़्म पर क्या असर

उत्तर प्रदेश के हाथरस ज़िले की राजपुर ग्राम पंचायत आज एक ऐसी मिसाल बन चुकी है, जहाँ दूर-दूर तक प्लास्टिक का एक टुकड़ा भी नज़र नहीं आता। इस बदलाव की सूत्रधार हैं ग्राम प्रधान प्रियंका तिवारी। शादी के बाद जब प्रियंका का गाँव आना-जाना शुरू हुआ, तो उन्होंने गलियों, नालियों और गाँव

Slowly we shall come to know that so much of our traditional knowledge was just so right. And our influence makers kept laughing at it because Western-aligned thinking kept labelling it as mumbojumbo and created an inferiority complex in us about our intellectual heritage.

My 86-year-old father, a retired professor and discoverer of a 565-million-years-old fossil, has recently been introduced by me to @GeminiApp It is shaping into a delightful relationship. But he still needs help using it because navigation isn’t built for him.
You're a power user on @GeminiApp. What else do you want to see? Top known requests: MacOS app, Projects, and Branching Chats.

I guess I am not going to be unemployed, for now.
The hot new job at tech companies is leading "storytelling." The term doubled on LinkedIn job posts in the U.S since last year. The WSJ writes: "Compliance technology firm Vanta this month began hiring for a head of storytelling, offering a salary of up to $274,000."

So nice to see the multi-talented Manav Kaul in back-to-back OTT content. I'm reminded of this wonderful interview from some years ago where @neeleshmisra gave him tips on speaking Kashmiri! That line still has me in splits! https://t.co/JFCGqQB7Wi

You realised this consequential impact of morning delays when passengers had left homes or reached the airport for a 9 PM flight? Please stop parroting these readymade statements.
@neeleshmisra Dear Mr. Misra, flight AI 1877 has been cancelled due to the consequential impact of poor visibility caused by dense fog in Delhi this morning. Please note that our teams are trying to the best of their abilities to assist all passengers. We appreciate your patience and kind
