A year of protest against the federation chief.
Slept on pavements for 40 days.
Was beaten, dragged by the police.
Nearly immersed all her medals in the Ganga.
Underwent knee surgery.
Sealed her Olympic spot after an unforgiving qualification process.
Became the 1st Indian woman wrestler to qualify for three successive Olympics.
And now, she's beaten the unbeatable defending champ, won two more bouts to become the first Indian woman to reach a wrestling Olympic final.
Words fail to appreciate what Vinesh Phogat has just done.

The internet wasn't shut down in Manipur for the security of the citizens. It was to maintain a national apathy. Do you care now?

Likely that Delhi/Noida is going to witness flooding tomorrow if #YamunaWaterLevel goes beyond 208m.

Areas adjacent floodplains, canals and drains are at highest risk

Apparently this is the source of the video. 'Ability to scale up to Level 5' ...haha... Now you know this is vapour ware.
Minus Zero Unveils India’s First Fully Autonomous Vehicle
The autonomous vehicle has the ability to scale up to Level 5 autonomy capabilities.

The problem is not with the human operator of this vehicle, but rather the operators of other vehicles on the same road. How would it react then? That is the question.

So the BJP's FakeFactory stands exposed today by none other than the revered head Swamigal of the Thiruvavaduthurai Adheenam himself in The Hindu. No Mountbatten, No Rajaji, No part in OFFICIAL transfer of power on August 14th 1947. But yes the majestic Sengol was indeed presented to Nehru as I have been saying all along.
Here are some more facts to nail the lies of today's Raja and his drumbeaters.
1. Page 10 of The Hindu dated August 29 1947 carries an ADVERTISEMENT on the presentation of the Golden Sceptre to Nehru at 10pm on August 14 1947 at his residence. It was clearly an initiative of the Thiruvavaduthurai Adheenam itself.
2. In the photo at the bottom the famed nagaswaram virtuoso T.N. Rajaratnam Pillai is marked as # 5. Here is what is said on him in an article on a website of the Union Ministry of Culture: When India attained independence Rajaratnam was sent to Delhi by the Pandarasannadhi of the Tiruvaduturai Matam to present on his behalf a mace of solid gold senkol (symbol of righteous administration). Rajaratnam was thrilled by this proud privilege. It was Dr. P. Subbarayan who introduced him to the Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to whom Rajaratnam played the nagaswaram before handing over the mace.
There is no mention of Mountbatten or even Rajaji. Rajaratnam Pillai is himself the subject of a fascinating new biography by an eminent Japanese ethnomusicologist in which the August 14 1947 episode is mentioned.
I miss Web 2.0, where we were sending scraps on Orkut, reading and writing blogs, editing Wikipedia, and generally having a good time.
I really hate what the internet has become today
a 100 times this! Please don't have a top down mandate to have synchronised 2 weeks sprints across the organisation, just because you read that somewhere. Understand what each teams needs, and empower them to make the right decision.
Someone mentioned me in a comment where they are debating whether or not the top 10 Fortune 500 companies use Agile (as in, some methodology based on the Agile Manifesto).
My thoughts on this: worry about being nimble, not about Agile (TM). That's what the best orgs do, anyway.
ALT As the author of the article, a few raw thoughts: 1. It's more important that a team/company solve for *their own, specific* pain points, and to operate using their own strengths (and within their own constraints), than to follow any frameworks, however popular or well-known that framework is. 2. Different companies have different strengths and constraints. Something we talk very little about is how the top of the market tends to compensate much better: and thus hires people of whom they can expect more: more self-starter attitude, more autonomy, more "thinking outside the box." They also line up outsized rewards around all of this! See https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engineering-salaries-in-the-netherlands-and-europe/ 3. Sketching out a plan before starting, Scrum, Kanban, TDD, XP: these are all tools that any one team can use. The best teams have a broad set of tools and use whatever makes most sense for their context. 4. The Agile Manifesto is 22 years old. A lot has
