Shuru ho gya mamu.
Dear Shatrughan Sinha, you won’t be made minister here either.
The connection is his niece is a campaign volunteer for Harris.
This kind of artificial biradri gives me the chance to replug this.
And more.

No. The Gita does NOT rationalize mass slaughter. If that’s what someone got out of the Gita, there really is nothing more to say.
The Mahabharata is an allegory for our daily existence. What Arjun is asking Krishna is “why should I do what is expected of me to do?” Why should I, if I am in IT, wake up every morning to churn out code? What is the purpose of this existence?”
What Krishna says is in essence that it’s your job. Each of our little existences has its purpose, life is not an empty nihilistic dream, and that purpose (dharma) is also what justice is for an individual, a just life is doing what you know you have to do

I had predicted (not the only one of course) that if the margin is narrow (ie Trump doesn’t lose Texas or Florida) he will claim the election is rigged, take it to the courts and then use his newly installed Supreme Court judge to take the election.
To this end, fake graphics showing that votes in states are being circulated on Twitter that dumps of mail in ballots have no votes to Trump and that more votes are being counted than people registered. These are obviously prepared “data” that is being unleashed.
Whether this is Trump’s own vahini or Comrade Putin I don’t know but it’s not important. Now for those that don’t know this: in the US, the elections don’t elect the President, they elect electors.

Rajasthan Royals has a good side in place. Their foreign first choice is the best of all the franchises: The worlds best t20 pacer (Bumrah may disagree), the best all rounder, the best keeper batsman & one of the worlds best batsmen. Problem remains their Indian talent.
These 4 should be the core of the side for the next few years. They are all young & at the peak of their careers. Problem is that they didn’t give Jaiswal an extended run. Did it make sense to keep playing Robbie given this is his last season?
Samson will struggle with consistency like Pandey does but he is a match winner. They need 2 Indian match winning batsmen, who will be the other? A winning IPL side needs at least 2 Indian match winning batsmen. KXP has the 2. RR does not.

A lot of social media static on starting children early in coding based on Whitehat junior. What I read is that these coding apps don’t really teach coding, coding is algorithms & problem solving, stuff you can learn much better by having unstructured play time.
As a PhD in computer science in software engineering later going to cybersecurity, here’s my hot take. No, your laadla is not going to make an app that will get your neighbor jealous, but that also doesn’t mean the simplistic “coding is algorithms” either.
The habits (note I didn’t use the word “skill”) you learn as someone less than 10 years old while coding in something like code.org or MIT’s Scratch are patience in front of a computer, debugging, making changes and observing consequences.

The new H1B rules on the face of it would benefit Indians in that their salaries would be vastly increased, especially those up for renewal. Companies wouldn’t let employees go for a salary increment of 10k, will be way more costly to replace them.
Such measures, of course made by the white supremacist running legal immigration who isn’t too bright, actually end up helping the people they seek to target. I know of one such example. Years ago, a US citizen and Indian citizen were hired for 75k, identical experience & role
The Indian guy on his first paycheck finds his salary as 90k. Contacting payroll to check if it’s a mistake, he is told that they didn’t know but there is a county ordinance passed by Republicans that set 90k as the minimum for a non US advanced degree.
