Devendra Fadnavis took charge as Maharashtra’s Chief Minister with two deputies – Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar. Third time. A tall leader has arrived, in BJP! The Leader of Opposition is not named yet.
We hear: Uddhav may return to NDA. INDIA is losing ‘grip’.
The French Government loses confidence, maybe after 60 years. Michel Barnier resigned. Will Macron succeed in picking a viable successor to Michel? Or will he go to a technocratic government or national government or will he step down?

Of course, these farmer leaders are not demanding natural farming implementation.
Is AI taking over coding? Are coders going to lose jobs? Will AI be an assistant or will it drive us?
How do we hire? Shortlisting based on qualification, percentage achieved, relevant experience, and years of experience – is it OK? Will a test, a write-up, an interview, a report, and an immersion – can they do the job? Memorized information, are we interested? Aren’t we interested in their comprehension, abstraction, figuring out the issue, analysis, synthesis, conceptualization, search-research, planning, doing, tracking, assessment, unlearning-learning, evaluation, test et al? Reading, writing, number analysis, logic, solving puzzles, and using ‘ICT’ smartly. Tenacity, perseverance, diligence, self-control, and concern with impact. If that is the case, can we test the interested hires in these? Can we take them for an internship, a reasonable tenure internship, to see whether they do well in these? Can we say no to the ones not up to the minimal mark we seek?
Can we get a small team first, and slowly add to the team? Not a wholesale drive. Each one, get 2-3. But, relentlessly, persistently. Intensive. And extensive reach out, maybe 1 in 1000 clicks. Can we be induced to see how they unlearn, how they are diligent, and how they are persistent?
Yes, we can. If we coexist, keep flowing. Nudging in more. In N? abhyaasasenayoga for 7L.
