I was betting on beti Victoria to join Soros.

But she has surprised me by joining the Columbia University, where she joins Jeffrey Sachs.

I do not know of a mightier fall.

She is 62. Pretty close to the retirement age anyway, i guess. She was "pushed out". She was at the core, and arguably the only one, to damage the Indo-US relationship (only because India did not support the war in Ukraine). Then she lost very badly in BD and that seems to be the trend in...

Re: Kaveri & Aero-Engine: News & Discussion

From 2010-13 I was on a project in Dayton, OH (no brownie points on the relevance). During one of the annual air events, I ran into a Brit, who had "peddled" his jet engine in India (for civilians) and was on his way out because there were no takers in India. The Dhawan effort is similar t...

Re: Hamas attack.on Israel. Oct 2023

Understandable.

India started "IMEC" to assist Israel very early in this conflict. Typical of Modi, the entire "supply chain" was mapped out and implemented. In Oct, 2023!!! Within a few days, not weeks.

The challenge was "transportation". Rail vs. road.

Take care.

Do not know where to post this fun fact. The current Palestine flag was the flag of Jordan between 1920-30 or so.

Jordan, around 1930 added a star, which is what the Jordan flag is today. Give and take some.
