Facts: PG Engg. students have to take 2 audit courses out of 8 on offer.The 8 options are 1.English for Research Paper Writing,2.Disaster Management
3.Sanskrit for Technical Knowledge,4.Value Education,5.Constitution of India,6. Pedagogy Studies,7.Stress Management by Yoga 1/3
8. Personality Development through Life Enlightenment Skills. In this 8th Option there is one segment on Bhagavad Gita as reading material.The course is not on Bhagavad Gita but one segment of Personality Development thru Life Enhancement Skills does teach excerpts from Gita 2/3
This course is one optional & students are not compelled to learn it.Still, in all fairness,if excerpts from Gita are to be taught as an optional should there not be optional courses on books/philosophies from other religions also?For more details aicte-india.org/sites/default/… 3/3

Had darshan of #Athivaradar at Kancheepuram an hour ago. This may be a slightly long thread but please read. Managed to get donor passes and went in around 2 pm. Darshan took almost 3 hours in the separate queue for those with donor passes. Now about the arrangements
Put simply arrangements were woefully poor. In the regular queue there were people who had stood for 7 hours today to get darshan. No food they complained, not even enough water. And no roof at several places.Our queue also had no cover one stretch. And no fans for any queue
There were no fans until you entered the temple and even there only a handful overhead ones. Sweltering heat and ppl soaked in sweat. Plenty of pushing and jostling. Various groups of ppl being escorted by police and temple staff bypassing the queue at various places

Tamil Nadu risks losing the #Neutrino project if the State Govt. does not give PCB clearance soon. Two other states (one is Andhra) are apparently lobbying for it. TN Govt has been sitting on the PCB clearance for months without any reply. 1/n
Project officials say they are willing to have an expert committee to evaluate risks & submit a report and say they will abide by the report. But TN Govt is not appointing such a Committee. Issue is also that apparently more than Rs.50 cr of public money has already bn spent 2/n
on developing the site & writing off that sum without any logical reason is an issue for audit team of the Center. At some point that sum will be written off and the Project will move to another State. This project was a dream of Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam who pushed for it in TN. 3/n

Few used to say that ‘Vedas’ are the most ancient literature. Vedas comprises the spoken or sung literature, which continues with the oral tradition of the #Sanskrit epics. As Sanskrit does not have a script of its own it even not counted as a language worth to have its own. #AIT
#Sanskrit is Indo-Iranian language and Hindi's mother land is Turkey. Still some believes that the Aryan invasion is myth, phys.org/news/2012-08-t…
Westerners became interested in it after Sir William Jones "discovered" #Sanskrit , as it were, and then extolled its virtues at a meeting of the 'Bengal Asiatic Society' in 1786. Taking cues from Jones, linguists began looking for links between Sanskrit and other languages.

How are you writing your dissertation? How did you write yours? How do you write your books? This is my method (so far). Note: I’m a historian. #writing 1/
My approach consists of 4 separate stages: 1) gathering sources, 2) reading/analyzing the sources I have collected, 3) organizing the sources and making a top down writing outline, 4) writing. 2/
Some people do research and write one chapter, and then do the same process for another. Others do research while writing. I don’t adopt these approaches. 3/

Selling puts unnecessarily scares a lot of options traders.

If done correctly, selling cash secured or slightly levered puts is one of the most lucrative and simplest of options trading strategies.

A thread on Cash Secured Put selling.

(1/n)
The value of puts is derived from what the marketplace assumes is downside risk of any underlying.

ATM puts make up their premium from in part the equity premium and partly the volatility premium.

(2/n)
For those underlyings where and when the volatility premium is a positive number, selling these puts can be an enriching endeavour.

The equity premium is simply the premium you get paid for holding the stock for long periods of time.

Puts marry these together.

1/ From a dataset of 4,003 executed and planned ICOs,
which raised a total of $12 billion in capital, nearly all since January 2017.
Average returns were 179% from the ICO price to the first day’s opening market price, over a holding period that averages just 16 days.
2/ Even after imputing returns of -100% to ICOs that don’t list their tokens within 60 days and adjusting for the returns of the asset class, the representative ICO investor earns 82%.

HODLING generated average buy-and hold additional returns of 48% in the first 30 trading days
