I actually never had the chance to meet Sivaji Ganesan. In fact, I grew up knowing very little about film personalities, even in Hindi cinema before I met them (this family through my classmate).

Reports one hour old as I type this suggest most of the talk of negotiations, Pakistan, etc., are not correct. This includes for the US, London, Israel and Dubai. It could be the fog of war, intensified by the fog of Trump. This seems to be Trump suggestions and attempt by Trump. Iranians seems not...

All — the situation is becoming increasingly serious from a nuclear perspective, given the involvement of the U.S., Israel, Iran, and now Pakistan. Not all actors here can be assumed to behave in strictly rational ways, which makes the risks harder to bound. I’d value thoughts from experts in this g...

Once again you are dancing around physics and maths. The simple math equation is methane is 30% and rising.

@Bala, just as a quick preface: if you're open to a rigorous, math- and logic-based discussion—without the personal jabs— I invite you to keep reading.

Google AI Overview: Methane is a potent, short-lived greenhouse gas responsible for about 30% of global warming since the Industrial Revolution. It is over 80 times more potent than CO2 at trapping heat over a 20-year period. Rising methane levels, driven by human activities like fossil fuel use an...

Reality check - Basic Physics Historical responsibility ≠ current reality—both matter, and India is now a top annual emitter. India meeting its own targets early is good, but those targets weren’t aligned with deep 1.5°C cuts. And methane doesn’t “outweigh” CO₂—long-term warming is still dominated b...
