   I hate doing tax paper work like everybody but I would rather do it myself than let government do it. When I do it myself I am very careful to make sure I have gotten every possible deduction. If I let the government do it, most likely I wi

   For some reason you seem to be ashamed of your own culture. What's wrong in calling the Mars mission by its Hindi/Sanskrit name? Do China, Japan and Russia not use names from their languages for their missions? And what's wro

   I realize that ISRO's accomplishments are nowhere near NASA's or ESA's but to call ISRO's efforts 'jugaad' is a serious insult to the efforts and intelligence of thousands of people involved in getting a rocket

   I took the bus to work for several years. And I totally get what you are saying about not having control and getting frustrated. But to me the whole point of taking the public transport is to not have to worry about those things in the firs

   Pretty much everything you said about Latin holds for Sanskrit too. Sanskrit has additional complication 'Sandhi' - euphonic combination [1]. There are many rules which are used to combine words depending on the ending sound of th

   Since you brought up Sanskrit and topic of discussion is sentence structure I will provide one more data point. Because Sanskrit is a highly inflected language there is a lot of flexibility in sentence structure in Sanskrit. In fact one can

   I don't mind getting such emails. Every now on then there's a free happy hour invitation in them. I try to attend as many as I can. Usually they are good opportunities to see what companies in town are up to (and of course free be

   I run Ubuntu 16.04 VM using VMWare Workstation Pro on Windows 10 and I love it. I rarely go to Windows. One great thing I love about running the VM is being able to make clones. If I screw up my dev environment, I don't need to set it

    I am not going to give you any advice but I can tell you my experience. You can decide if there is anything meaningful you can get out of it. I was in a similar situation as yours for several years (new to the country and culture). However

    Ideally I would want to upgrade within a month or so (after major kinks have been worked out) but there is stuff that may not work with the new kernel (I extensively use NoMachine), so I want to make sure if I upgrade I can still use it. I&

    For the sheer joy of it. I learnt Sanskrit in middle school formally yet superficially. About a year ago I decided I wanted to get rid of the 'superficial' part and devoured several Sanskrit grammar books including this website. I
