This Deepavali, a lamp worth lighting: Smriti, @mid_org's record of India’s civilizational heritage, now holds over 11 lakh manuscript records and 1 lakh inscriptions, free to search, in one place.
That is roughly a tenth of the 1 crore+ manuscripts India’s national survey has mapped, and about a third of the 3 lakh inscriptions estimated to survive. To our knowledge, no other open platform brings Indian manuscripts and inscriptions together, at this scale.
When we, @Shreyas_mysuru, @SudarshanHS, @RahulDewanV2 & I, started on this journey a year ago, the intent was: a dataset that is public & free. What we have managed so far is owed to our donors, teammates, volunteers, custodians and partners.
This year, there are two priorities:
1. A platform for researchers and enthusiasts to add to and correct the knowledge base.
2. Fresh digitisation grants to partner institutions, for which we are raising a corpus of ₹15 crore.
A request to every donor: be our ambassador. Every hour spent fundraising is an hour not spent digitising. If you would like to help or volunteer, please write to [email protected] or DM @midf_org.
तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय।

It's absurd that no courts stuck down this absurd system where you have to pay the same money as other passengers but have to share your berth with a stranger
Excellent, if this gets implemented. This is pre-Cambrian and inhuman and should go. The railway babu who came up with RAC berth idea is hopefully rotting in hell. theweek.in/news/india/2026/1…

Because only places with temperate climate that sees sub-zero temperatures/snowfall in winter has this kind of distinct aesthetics that is caused by some trees shedding leaves due to cold + some trees/grass retaining them.
In India, trees shed leaves during summer due to dryness, even the grass dries up, so you cannot get this aesthetic outside Himalayas.
(Tehran's climate stats attached - solid 13 days of snow on average)
Severe drought situation will unfold across South India next summer as not even a single town in South India outside Uttarandhra regions of AP has crossed the average annual rainfall.
Same story of deficit rains across Tamilnadu, Kerala, Coastal karnataka, Goa, Malenad, Interior Karnataka, Rayalaseema, Telangana, South Coastal Andhra
Not even a single town(except Coonoor) in Tamilnadu has crossed it's average annual rainfall.
Would have killed lakhs back in 19th century
Supposedly at our peak monsoon month, yet going rainless despite multiple factors in our favor. Ipdiye pona epdi :)

Honestly, a disappointing NEM for Tamilnadu. All systems skipping Tamilnadu.
This was the scenario I dreaded back to October.
Serious deficit will build up in Delta region if this continues
None of these rules can make a difference. I feel bad for CBN, because investors are still spooked by what Jagan did between 2019-24.
There really is no solution, other than completing Amaravati works by 2029 and winning 2029 elections, only then proper private investments will flow into Amaravati
AP is planning to bring a rule where if a govt approves, future govts cannot go back on assured land allotments, incentives and approvals. Had such a rule been passed in Tamil Nadu, Parandur would have been saved. @CMOTamilnadu @Keerthana4VNR act fast!!
It's bad that scientists in India haven't come up with a safe universal pre-exposure rabies that can be given to every humans.
Animal activists are too powerful to be taken down, least that can be done is vaccinating humans against rabies.
It's something only India can do because rabies case are in single digits in most functioning nations(that too from bats, not dogs), only we have the incentive to do it
Feral dogs in Ladakh are my biggest fear while trekking or travelling - not the wolves, not the cold.
Have been chased and surrounded twice. Once, a pack of 6-7 dogs ran towards and surrounded me. A couple of them took small bites off my pants. Luckily was saved by army folks - whose camp owned the dogs.
These dogs have killed and eaten humans! I've been perfectly alright watching wolves in these regions, they usually ignored me, but not these feral dogs. They're vicious.
It's bizarre that Hyderabad opened it's last metro route in 2019 and nothing has happened after that, not even DPR approval.

More expensive than bullock carts and dirt roads.
See how empty the station looks.
Built for the elite. Common man cannot afford such projects to enrich contractors and politicians.
We don't need such expensive projects. We need more bullock carts.
Is there any place in India that does not look beautiful post-Monsoon?
Only I can think of are places that are invaded by invasive Prosopis juliflora thorny trees or water hyacinth etc
Seasonal transition underway over US.
Nov is a month when warmth disappears over USA and freezing temperatures kick in. The transition is often dramatic as captured in this GIF of temperature forecast for the next 15 days

दीपावली के माहौल में राम और सरयू का आगमन हुआ है। इससे दीपावली का वातावरण और भी पावन एवं दिव्य हो गया है।

Rainfall Seasonal Tally.
Deccan has more or less has hardly seen any rains this season.
Rainfall has been limited to Tamilnadu, Coastal Andhra, Odisha and NorthWest India.
Not good news for Kerala and cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad
Better way to interpret this demographic data.
Hindus are less likely than Muslims to have 2 children, significantly less likely than Muslims to have 3/4 children.
However more likely than other minorities to go for 3rd child
Wonder how much of this u-turn on Agniveer could also be influenced by the fact post Ukraine-Russia war, suddenly number of soldier's matter. Pre-2023, it was thought only equipment matters, but now drones have brought parity
Why Agniveer was a desperate throw of the fiscal dice.
Never has so much (fiscal burden) been obliged of so few (taxpayers) for such a small cohort (of permanent colour servicemen).
Partially explains why the army looks kitted out like a militia...
