Story told by Dr. Rajdeep Manwani, one of Dravid's classmate:
"Rahul Dravid never attended classes regularly & was always seen practising in nets. One day he came to class & started writing notes with his gloves on.
Seeing this, we felt uncomfortable. Everyone was laughing, whispering, Rahul Dravid continued writing for that full hour.

It is our ambition for Europe to become a global space power and for space to contribute to a green, digital, safe and inclusive Europe and world as a whole. Creating a broader coalition of partners and ensuring that users are at the heart of this endeavour, is fundamental.
Three initiatives, called āAcceleratorsā, were proposed to speed up the use of space to solve todayās biggest challenges: Space for a Green Future, Rapid and Resilient Crisis Response, Protection of Space .

#Abraham continues to negotiate with #God about how many righteous people will save #Sodom and Gomorrah. This finishes when Abraham realises that there are not enough #righteous people to save the cities. Was all his effort in vain?
Absolutely not. At minimum the #trial gave us a guide to how to run a just trial. It also taught us about #collateraldamage. But even more, as we will see soon, Abrahamās efforts saved Lot and his family.
