Making notes for the pigeon hole principle lecture upcoming in DM and I am afraid my examples are getting too personal:

“If you have a list of tasks that take you an hour each to complete, and you can only do one of them at a time, and you have more than 24 tasks to do…”

Fantastic exercise! 👏👏

It's motivating for students to see that their teacher wants to hear from them. Goals they set for themselves are much more likely to be fulfilled.

Kaneenika Sinha One quality for a teacher: Never ask students to do something you haven't.

First day of semester.

Picture 1: The instructor before me asked students what qualities they should have: this is what the students suggested.

Picture 2: I continued the flow of ideas, and students added more to the list (last one is by me, though some disagreed :-) )

You may or may not regret missing a work-out session, but you will NEVER regret not missing it.

Another top expository piece (tinyurl.com/KhareBhavana) in Bhāvanā Magazine from Chandrashekar Khare on the growth of mathematics in TIFR India Some powerful quotes for the lay reader:

'Failure on race day is an acceptable outcome, but the failure to train well is not.'

Bharathi's journey is an inspiring testament to the power of education and the human spirit. Her story showcases how the pursuit of dreams can transcend barriers and create opportunities for the underprivileged. #EducationMatters

Kaneenika Sinha Guhan Venkat I actually watched (on TV) Tim Horton play ice hockey during the 1960s and 1970s. He died in a car accident driving from Buffalo to Toronto. But the chain he set up lives on, apparently without any deterioration in quality.

The Research and Development Office, Ashoka University maintains a public database of grants & fellowships that India based researchers can apply for.

Please share widely.
