It’s so cool to read some amazing stuff Recently, I did research on ‘Terraforming Mars’
including about the #multiverse theory in and Dr. Lewis Dartnell’s story on surviving space
this latest edition of (August 2017) was of great help. I must say the Q&A
@KnowledgeMagIND . section is getting more interesting day by day as our
#BBCKnowledge Earth grows older. We really need to delve deeper into areas like AI
– Swarit Sohaard and machine learning so that the controls are in safe hands and so
that robotics can be used for the benefit of mankind. Thus Dr Peter
Bentley’s article makes an interesting read.
I was smitten with Dhritiman Mukherjee’s photographs. They truly
depict ‘Incredible India’. It would be great if his “100 Days in the
Himalayas” photographs could be published. We also really have
to ponder over why we are becoming anti-social.
At a time when India is going through border tension, I feel Manto
comes into play. The emotion captured in Toba Tek Singh stands
as a perfect example of the horrors of Partition.
