Have not been following posts here... Few updates: - Form physician friends, in Bay Area - finally hearing more and more physicians are able to get their patient's tested. Other states still not so good. - Pence/Trump's promises of "any one who needs testing can get it done now", "1....

Masks are not helpful. I was talking to my doctor; he said it is not going to work with the ordinary masks. Eyes are not covered. Special masks are required. This virus does not just hang out in a cloud like formation, the droplets from cough/sneeze tend to fall down after travelling 5-6 feet.

Quick note here. You do NOT need hand-sanitizers like Purel, etc. to keep the coronavirus at bay. Regular hand soap is equally good. Hand sanitizers are mostly alcohol-based. This makes them superior to ordinary hand soap for killing bacteria. Why? Because, briefly, the exterior structures of bacte...

Kind of depressing thread. Hope our pitrus, devas and rishis protect all of us and our near & dear.

Nihal, Pragg, Gukesh etc are some of the top young players. In 3-4 years, we can start dreaming.

The World Youth 2019 turned out to be a good event for India as the contingent won seven out of the 18 medals at stake. Praggnanandhaa provided the biggest cheer with the gold in under-18 open. The silver medals were won by Vantika Agrawal in under-18 girls, Srihari LR in under-14 open and Divya De...

We should not be devastated. Disappointed? Sure. This was our first time, and we just could not achieve soft landing. We reached the Moon, the orbiter is healthy, and in a polar orbit.

Everything good until 2.1 km. Then communication lost.

Media just giving unnecessary hopes?

Modi would not have walked out...if there was a glimmer of good news. No?

Almost everyone in my circle, based on Nat Geo, YouTube and other channel descriptions.....all are waiting for a live video. I had to disappoint them...however I asked to wake/stay up and watch. Even my sister was going to watch live. I think media has wiped up the frenzy today......good thing.

OT: I heard the rumor that both Vikram and Pragyan can hear Arnab. So that communication channel is definitely open.
