'The solution of polymer models with fluctuating HI and IV would require “complicated matrix operations that may well be impractical unless preaveraging of the matrices is introduced.” [Macromolecules 19, 1195 (1986)]'

For the last 15 years, I've always had one dream and desire which was to make Indian history interesting for everyone.
In that time period, I have tried writing blogs, long-form posts, stories and threads, to do exactly that.
Some worked, most didn't. But with every post, I always had this nagging question.
Why is Indian history always taught with a tunnel vision. Why is it so fragmented?
Why do we always learn things from the perspective of one empire, kingdom, king or invader.
Why do we never see an all India view of history?
I mean most of us struggle if we are ever are asked this question
1. What was the true extent of the Mughal Empire at its peak?
2. Who were the Cholas' contemporaries in North India?
3. While Muhammad Ghori was fighting the Second Battle of Tarain, who ruled Thanjavur?
4. While Harsha ruled Kannauj, who ruled Assam?
I have always wished there was a simple way to see the political map of India for any year in Indian history.
I have always wished there be a place where
1. One Could Select any year and instantly see who ruled every part of the Indian subcontinent.
2. One could Discover the important events that happened in that year
3. One could select a time period, say 1700 - 1947, and see how the Indian subcontinent evolved in that period.
4. How did one tiny red dot in West Bengal, from a tiny red dot in Europe, somehow came to rule an entire subcontinent of 400 million people,
For years, that idea remained just an idea and a dream because
1. I didn't know how to build a website.
2. I couldn't afford to hire someone who could.
Then Claude Came along.
Thanks to generous support and heavy lifting by Claude, over the last few months, that 15-year-old idea is slowly transforming into a reality.
And today, it has reached a position, where I'm excited to share with all of you, the first sneak peek of bharatrajya.com/
It is my attempt to create an interactive historical atlas of India that lets you travel through time and explore the political history of the subcontinent, one year at a time.
This is my attempt to make history interactive and fun.
I'd love to hear what you think.
Excellent AI-generated summary of my recent paper. I love "The Gist" section which describes the research findings in plain language. I do not like the "Technical Details" section. Interested people can directly read the paper instead!

After he won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1957, Albert Camus wrote a letter of thanks to his favorite childhood teacher, whom he'd never forgotten. It's beautiful.

Caught in the IndiGo flight mess? We're taking legal action (PIL) regarding these systemic failures.
We need 250+ passengers to join before Dec 10. Let's raise our voices together for better rights.

A 19-year-old from Jodhpur just built something the Indian government should’ve built… using @QwikBuild
Aadhya is a first-year student who asked a simple question: How can Indians access government schemes without confusion?
Government schemes can change lives.
But most people don’t know which ones they qualify for, or how to apply.
She decided to fix that.
She heard of QwikBuild and created SahayAI, an assistant that:
1. Explains schemes in plain language
2. Gives personalised recommendations
3. Simplifies documents for every citizen
Yesterday, she told us, “I want this platform to be accessible to every Indian.”
Her next step? Adding voice and regional languages so anyone, anywhere can use it.
And we’ve already promised she won’t be building it alone.
Stories like hers remind us why we started.
To give power to the person.

Much respect to whoever is this man in this DRDO test going at 800 km/hr to test a fully indigenous ejection seat system. Also, only three countries could do tests like these, now India joins them. Kudos to DRDO scientists.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The test was conducted using an instrumented Anthropomorphic Test Dummy and it's not a real Human

Aequs, an Indian aerospace manufacturing giant has a 250 acre facility in the town of Belagavi, Karnataka.
They supply to Airbus, Boeing, Safran and many other aerospace companies around the world.
It’s also the only company in the world to have facilities like forging, 3,4,5 axis machining and surface treatment within the same campus.
These are the companies that are building India’s manufacturing heft.
Wishing many more companies like this build in Bharat. 🇮🇳 💪🏼

@ISRO recently conducted a NO-GPS Mars Drone challenge, it was intense.... ⚠️
- Crashes everywhere
- Drones not landing
- almost all teams using expensive intel cameras
but one team won, without using expensive sensors, full video linked below

used to solve them when I was in class 11. summer holidays were fun solving these :)

This is the part where we, Mysore Polymers' played our squirrel-like role, when the Payload Faring /heat shield separated!
Congratulations @isro!!

Norway and Canada require extremely high-quality fishing cages and nets, which they surprisingly import from Pune
Garware Technical Fibres has global patents, an astonishing 1,200 Cr revenue, and 7,500 Cr market cap
Pretty crazy high-tech material manufacturing happens in India

New breakthrough quantum algorithm published in @Nature today: Our Willow chip has achieved the first-ever verifiable quantum advantage.
Willow ran the algorithm - which we’ve named Quantum Echoes - 13,000x faster than the best classical algorithm on one of the world's fastest supercomputers. This new algorithm can explain interactions between atoms in a molecule using nuclear magnetic resonance, paving a path towards potential future uses in drug discovery and materials science.
And the result is verifiable, meaning its outcome can be repeated by other quantum computers or confirmed by experiments.
This breakthrough is a significant step toward the first real-world application of quantum computing, and we're excited to see where it leads.

Interesting... 'Why do Stanford math professors still use chalk?'
stanforddaily.com/2021/10/17…
“if the speaker tried to use slides, people don’t retain as much because [the speaker] goes much faster. Whereas if you write on the chalk, you are forced to slow down.”
Academics on my timeline... what do you use in your classes?
