So apparently the act of sending loved ones little videos and cute pictures and funny things throughout the day is called “Pebbling” because there’s a species of penguin that likes to leave pebbles in their partners’ nests to show they care, and this is my happy thing for today

Dear Vinesh, It is said that sport is a celebration of human will. I have known that to be true many times in my career but never has it resonated more than today. As I look around me, I see a nation…

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…

Who are Indians descended from? Aryans from Europe? Dravidians who've been "here" forever? The Indus valley civilization? A controversial question for 150+ years, but now we have DNA evidence that answers these questions with a high degree of certainty. 🧵

1/8. Most Indians see the Big Fat Indian Wedding as a national achievement and are not put off by it, according to TV commentary, including on BBC. Really? Did BBC, anyone, do a poll/survey of most Indians? People hit the streets for what they see as a national achievement –…

Devanagari is an extremely elegant script. But this was never explained to us in school. A thread on the awesomeness that is devanagari. Let's start with the things that my teachers did *not* teach me in school:

1/5. Never mind the entries thrown up on google search, please stop calling Indian languages ‘vernacular.’ There’s a colonial context to the use of the word in the British Raj – from the older Latin origin: tongues of the home-born slave. #britishraj #language #psainath

How to Do Great Work by @paulg The average PG essay contains condensed wisdom packed into 500-1500 words. So when he dropped this 10k word essay in the summer of 2023 on how ambitious people could do great work, it was—as they say—Christmas in July. The essay reminds me of…

In the run-up to #LokSabhaElections2024, we tracked 429 primetime news shows to analyse agenda setting by TV news channels — 52 percent of the shows had anti-opposition themes. Only 1% of the shows were dedicated to talking about jobs & education. newslaundry.com/2024/04/23/in-…

It's Valentine's Day, so let's talk about sex. Eel sex! Well...we can't, really. We don't know exactly where, or how, eels get busy. It's a 2000+ year old puzzle. It's not like we haven't tried. But the sex life of eels is a mystery smothered in secret sauce. 1/5

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Incredibly, the placebo effect is (mostly) not real. It is a result of statistical confusion. Whenever you have a group with extreme values, they tend to exhibit regression to the mean. Eg. on average, sick people tend to become more healthy over time. Thus if you give one…

A report by @CEEWIndia reveals a shocking fact! 75% of the country’s population resides in districts highly vulnerable to floods, droughts, and cyclones. Among coastal districts, this figure rises to more than 95%. A thread that maps India's climate vulnerability 🧵

In 2008, Google Maps launched in India. But we quickly ran into a problem: Nobody used street names. And street names were the foundation of Google Maps. The team had to make some big adaptations. 15 years later, the changes have stood the test of time. Here's how the team…

When you order on Swiggy or Zomato, does your 'delivery partner fee' fully go to the delivery partner? Not really. Of the twelve food delivery orders @TheKenWeb examined, ten partners were paid less than the amount the firm charged the customers.
