"Reader's Digest ceases publication after its May 2024 issue"
महाराष्ट्रातील 'नव्या' अभ्यासक्रमाची १०वी ची परीक्षा झाली खरी पण ११वी साठी तत्कालीन बहुतेक कॉलेज मध्ये infrastructure तयार नव्हते, त्यामुळे १९७५-७६ सालची अकरावी अनेक शाळांना सक्तीने घ्यावी लागली...
मिरज हायस्कूल मध्ये ११वी (विज्ञान) चा वर्ग एकेकाळी ड्रॉईंग हॉल नामक मोठ्या जागेत भरवला गेला ... त्याच्या शेजारीच शाळेची एकेकाळची चांगली लायब्ररी होती...  ..read more

As I turn 64 today...
Rivka Galchen, The New Yorker, October 2023:
“…Enchantment! If disenchantment is the loss of myth and illusion in our lives, then what is the chant that calls those essentials back? An ongoing enchantment is at the heart of “Calvin and Hobbes.” It’s at the heart of “Don Quixote” and “Peter Pan,” too. These are stories about difficult and not infrequently destructive characters who are lost in their own worlds.

Recently I read this on X.
"CNBC:
"Bill Gates is backing the first high-altitude experiment of one radical climate change solution"
"Creating a massive chemical cloud that can cool the earth"
Bill Gates is literally planning to BLOCK out the sun using geoengineering technology."
This was on handle @WallStreetSilv
And I remembered R K Laxman's this visionary cartoon.
Artist: R K Laxman, The Times of India, June 8 2007
Substitute Bush with Bill Gates...instead of dropping water bombs, he is planning to block the sun!

Stephen Moss, "Ten Birds That Changed the World" has Raven at number one and Emperor Penguin at number ten.
Moss writes about Raven's relationship with Poe:
“…‘Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore”.’ The line comes from one of the best-known of all narrative poems, ‘The Raven’, written by the nineteenth-century American writer, Edgar Allan Poe.48 Published in January 1845, less than five years before Poe died, it is a masterpiece of Gothic literature, whose popularity, even almost 200 years after it was published, has yet to wane; it features in almost every online list of the top ten poems of al ..read more

मिरजेत असताना मी 1973 (9 वी) ते 1978 (engg चे तिसरे सेमीस्टर) त्यांच्या तुफान लोकप्रिय गणिताच्या क्लास ला जात असे, अतिशय उत्तम शिक्षक, शब्दशः जीव टाकून समाजसेवा करणारा मनुष्य, अनेक मुलामुलींकडून एक पैसा सुद्धा फी न घेणारा, पैसा हे जीवनाचे ध्येय नसणारा असा त्यांचा लौकिक होता...
सर appendicitis फुटून अतिशय कमी वयात, 1978 साली, वारले, आपली लहान मुलगी व पत्नी मागे ठेवून, ज्याचे दुःख मी आजही करत असतो, आजही तो दिवस विसरलेलो नाही...
तर आमच्या सरांच्या क्लास ला अनेक मुली येत आणि सरांचा एक नियम होता की प्रत्येक हिंदू मुलीच्या कपाळावर कुंकू पाहिजे...

On X, in October 2023, I read this post of Harappa.com@Ancient_Indus
"One of the least appreciated things in ancient Indus archaeology is the fine photography done by early expeditions and their unknown Indian photographers. This is from Sahni's Harappa 1923-24 excavations, note how perfectly the lines and trench is arranged, the bricks in the foreground across the (much later) mosque remnant in the top right."
