You won’t be the first to go bankrupt. You won’t be the last one either. We all on our way there. Only good part is you’ll get to taste some bloody good coffee.

100 scored. That’s moral victory.

Why do you need celebs to speak out. We need to understand the common indian person's mentality. Nobody wants to go out of their way to improve things. Celebs will do what is good for them just like everyone else in this country. We are doomed not because of the elected people but because people who elect them. That is us, citizens of India.

Coffee Bro. Coffee after 5 PM is my biggest nemesis. I avoid as much as I can. But some days, I just can't control.

Simran off?

Sir James Anderson!

I used to drive through that road every day. Never been affected by the broken roads. This is a propaganda against the government. It is the driver's duty to learn whenever the potholes are and reduce speed at right times. /s

Here is what gemini says for those like me who lack required understanding of the subject.

This paper, "Novel 4,400-year-old ancestral component in a tribe speaking a Dravidian language," is a population genetics study that proposes the existence of a fourth major ancestral population for the modern inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent. The study, which is a preprint and has not yet undergone peer review, challenges the prevailing model, which primarily describes the Indian gene pool as a mixture of three ancestral groups: 1. Iranian plateau-related farmers 2. Pontic-Caspian steppe-related pastoralists 3. Andamanese-related hunter-gatherers The authors argue for a new, distinct component they have tentatively named 'Proto-Dravidian' ancestry. Key Hypothesis and Claims The central claim is that a fourth ancestral source, separate from the Iranian farmer lineage, emerged around the dawn of the Indus Valley Civilization (IVC), no later than 4,400 years ago. • Origin: This 'Proto-Dravidian' component is believed to have branched off from a basal Middle Eastern ancestral population (the same one that also gave rise to the Iranian farmer lineage) but existed as a separate group. • Linguistic Link: The authors connect this genetic finding to the Elamo-Dravidian language theory, which posits a common linguistic ancestor for the Elamite language (of ancient Iran) and the Dravidian languages (of the Indian subcontinent). • Geographic Origin: The paper suggests this ancestry originated in the region between the Iranian plateau and the Indus Valley. Methodology: The Koraga Tribe To investigate this, the study focuses on the Koraga, a marginalized and indigenous tribal community from the southwestern coast of India that speaks a Dravidian language. • Sample: The researchers analyzed the genomes of 29 unrelated Koraga individuals using autosomal SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data. • Rationale: The Koraga were chosen because previous research on their maternal (mtDNA) and paternal (Y-DNA) lines showed "unusual" patterns—specifically a high frequency of the West Asian maternal haplogroup U1 and the Indian-specific paternal haplogroup H1a. The authors had previously suggested this U1 haplogroup could be a genetic correlate for their Dravidian language. • Analytical Tools: The study used standard population genetics tools to analyze the Koraga data in comparison to other ancient and modern populations: • Principal Component Analysis (PCA): This was used to map how the Koraga relate to other Indian populations. • ADMIXTURE: A modeling tool used to identify distinct genetic clusters (ancestral components). This analysis is central to identifying the new component. • f3-statistics: A test to measure shared genetic drift between populations, used to confirm the ancestral relationships. • ALDER: A tool used to estimate the date of admixture (mixing) between populations. Summary of Key Results 1. A Novel Ancestral Component (K8): The ADMIXTURE analysis (at K=8) revealed a distinct genetic component that was prominent in the Koraga. The authors label this component (K8) as the novel 'Proto-Dravidian' ancestry. 2. Dating the Admixture: Using ALDER, the study estimated that the admixture between major North Dravidian-speaking tribes (Koraga, Brahui, and Oraon) occurred between 5,988 and 2,800 years ago. The median date of this event is approximately 2,370 BC (around 4,400 years ago), which coincides with the Mature Harappan period of the Indus Valley Civilization. 3. Deep Ancestral Roots: The analysis showed that the Koraga share a deep, ancient ancestry (dating back ~10,000 years) with a Neolithic sample from Ganj Dareh in the Zagros mountains of Iran. This finding is used to support the link to an Elamo-Dravidian homeland in that region during the Early Holocene. 4. A Separate Lineage: Crucially, the authors argue that this 'Proto-Dravidian' component is not the same as the 'Iranian plateau farmer' ancestry. Their statistical tests (f3-statistics) suggest that while both groups share a much older common ancestor (a pre-Neolithic Caucasus hunter-gatherer), the 'Proto-Dravidian' lineage does not share direct ancestry with the primary 'Iranian farmer' proxies (like Sarazm_EN) or the Indus Periphery cline. This supports the claim that it was a separate, contemporary population that "existed alongside" the Iranian farmer-related groups near the IVC. Conclusions and Implications • A New Model for Indian Ancestry: The paper concludes that this 'Proto-Dravidian' component is a fourth major ancestor for modern Indians. • Modern-Day Presence: This ancestry is not restricted to the Koraga. The authors state it is "still carried by most modern inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent other than the tribal populations." • Migration and Language Spread: The authors propose that people carrying this 'Proto-Dravidian' ancestry "diffused throughout the Indian subcontinent as pastoralists and farmers" following the decline of the IVC, which may explain the spread of the Dravidian language family. • Call for Re-evaluation: The study emphasizes the need for fine-scale studies of specific populations (like the Koraga) to avoid oversimplifying the complex genetic history of India and calls for more interdisciplinary collaboration between geneticists, linguists, and archaeologists

Thanks OP Very interesting, need to read more. Sharing link for those who are looking for full text. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.31.587466v2.full

Will comment here before the post gets locked

Get light roast coffee which needs to be brewed at higher temperatures (95-98C). Do trail and error with the grind settings. Go finer if too acidic go coarser if too bitter. You can get a cheap gooseneck with temperature indicator on it. Or you can simply boil water and wait for a min for it to cool down to 98-97C.

Bro. Let's keep the hate aside and let people enjoy things they do as long as it doesn't affect anyone. This family is trying to do something nice for their children. We should appreciate the fact that they are going beyond their creed for their children.

I call my dad as Tumhi out of social pressure I assume. But my son calls me tu which is absolutely fine by me. I feel it's about the kind of environment you grow up in. I am as close to my father as my son is close to me. But in older times it would have been unthinkable to address father as tu in the region I grew up in.

Give me this and Willem Defoe as Joker and an epic scene between them.

if you have Divali so much why don't you go to paxtan /s

Bro! I gave up on driving to office after trying it twice. I’d rather take train during rush hour than stuck in traffic. This city is fucked.

Congratulations OP! Thats 5000 more than I got

Try Grey Soul Mogra, it has very distinct floral flavours, it is slightly on the sweeter side and it has very low acidity.

Time to buy cian agro stock guys!

That’s the neat part kid, I don’t.

Will check it out! Thanks!

If you want to see beaches Goa, if not Mumbai.

Car looks stunning, please give a list of everything you love and hate about the car.
