'IIT Baba' Abhey Singh: Aerospace Engineer at Maha Kumbh

The Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, is attracting millions of devotees, with one notable figure emerging: Abhey Singh, a former aerospace engineer from IIT Bombay, now known as ‘IIT Baba.’ Singh, originally from Haryana, abandoned a promising career in engineering for a journey into spirituality and photography, which he describes as transformative. After briefly working in the corporate world, he opened a coaching centre to teach physics but ultimately found greater fulfillment in spiritual pursuits. Now a devotee of Lord Shiva, Singh integrates his scientific background with spiritual insights, claiming, “Everything is Shiva. Truth is Shiva, and Shiva is beautiful.” His articulate engagement with the media and growing social media presence—nearly 29,000 Instagram followers—underscore his unique blend of modernity and tradition.

Centre's Approval Creates New Challenges for Kejriwal, Sisodia

NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal faces renewed legal challenges as the Union Home Ministry has authorized the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to prosecute him in a money laundering case linked to the now-repealed liquor policy. This decision also extends to former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia. The move follows a Supreme Court ruling in November that required prior sanction for prosecuting public servants, which had previously delayed the framing of charges against Kejriwal. He had contested the trial court's acknowledgment of the chargesheet, arguing that the ED lacked the necessary sanction. Both Kejriwal and Sisodia, currently out on bail after their arrests related to the liquor policy, have dismissed the allegations and accused the BJP of using investigative agencies for political harassment. As they campaign for the February 5 election, this development is expected to intensify the BJP's criticism of the AAP. sources

ITC Chairman Sanjiv Puri on L&T Chief's 90-Hour Workweek

In the ongoing debate over work hours in India, ITC Ltd Chairman Sanjiv Puri emphasized the importance of aligning employees with the company's vision rather than focusing on a rigid workweek. Puri likened workers to builders of a castle, advocating for a shared grand vision to inspire passion and commitment. He clarified that ITC promotes a flexible work environment, allowing employees to work from home two days a week, and prioritizes individual empowerment and goal achievement over monitoring hours worked. This discussion follows controversial remarks by L&T Chairman SN Subrahmanyan, who suggested a 90-hour workweek, igniting criticism and concerns over work-life balance. Puri's comments reflect a contrasting philosophy that values employee engagement and flexibility, amid rising scrutiny of excessive work expectations in corporate culture, reminiscent of the demanding "996 culture" in China. sources

Scientists Find 'Sunken Worlds' Beneath Pacific Ocean

Scientists have identified potential patches of Earth's ancient crust, referred to as "sunken worlds," located deep within the mantle, according to a study published in *Scientific Reports*. Utilizing high-resolution modeling and full-waveform inversion, researchers mapped these anomalies beneath oceans and continents, including areas devoid of known tectonic activity, like the western Pacific Ocean. While some believe these blobs may consist of crust-like material from the mantle's formation 4 billion years ago, their exact nature remains uncertain, described as a "major mystery" by ETH Zurich representatives. The findings were made possible through advanced computational techniques employing the Piz Daint supercomputer, which combined seismic data into clearer images. Although the blobs exhibit similar seismic wave speeds to subducted slabs, further research is essential to confirm their identity and understand the material properties responsible for these wave behaviors, as noted by doctoral candidate Thomas Schouten. sources

Planetary Parade: When and Where to Watch This Event

On January 25, 2025, skywatchers in India will be treated to a stunning display as seven planets—Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Mercury—align in a remarkable arc across the night sky. This planetary parade, which peaks on the 25th, will be visible throughout the month, with Mercury joining the lineup. Such alignments, while not indicating a true spatial alignment, create a visually captivating phenomenon from Earth’s perspective and are rare, especially with four or more planets. The best time to observe this event is shortly after sunset, with an unobstructed view of the western horizon recommended to minimize light pollution. While the four brightest planets can be seen with the naked eye, binoculars or telescopes will enhance views of the outer planets, Neptune and Uranus. Clear skies will be essential for an optimal viewing experience, making this celestial event one not to miss. sources
