It is an interesting pastime everyday digging out one or two topics to share one's views with friends.
If you are lucky to get some feedback, that would be great and will refuel you for keeping the game going.
I've been practising this joke of an activity for more than two decades now. My blogs, media responses, articles and books are all byproducts of this activity.

Excerpts :
"India will push for closer research ties and greater government-to-government partnership across artificial intelligence, advanced computing, quantum technologies and semiconductor materials at the upcoming BRICS summit, officials said. The focus on these frontier technologies comes at a time when nations seek to counter growing AI monopolies and de-risk global semiconductor supply chains."

BRICS, Advantage India*
Apropos "India Set to Pitch Tech Synergy for Cementing BRICS" (September 7), it is heartening to find that India is well prepared to accept the challenges posed by the opportunity that is coming home in the form of BRICS summit on September 12-13 in Delhi which this country will be Charing.
When world bodies like UN and some of the Regional Alliances like European Union are struggling for survival and facing basic structural issues, India is able to play a lead role in creating a successful model for regional cooperation by helping BRICS to expand and grow.
We can reasonably hope that the positive outcomes from the two-day summit will be much more than the deliberations on the agenda and resolutions. The heads of states and other leaders coming together at such forums build up on the existing partnerships for mutual benefit.
