India’s space program
This week is a very proud one for an Indian. The moon landing was an event and an achievement that we will remember. It is time we take a trip down memory lane to understand the history of India’s space program.
Dr. Vikram Sarabhai founded the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) with the aim of shaping India's space program. Initially a part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, INCOSPAR assumed the responsibilities of the Department of Atomic Energy in the realm of space science and research. Dr. Homi Bhabha, then director of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), played a crucial role in its establishment. Among the pioneering team of rocket technologists who laid the foundation of INCOSPAR was Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.

Focus
A lot of people work hard. But it is not enough to work hard. What I have found is we need to focus on what we work on. Sam Altman, in this article, talks about the things needed to be successful and focus obviously is one of them.
Focus is a force multiplier on work.
Almost everyone I’ve ever met would be well-served by spending more time thinking about what to focus on. It is much more important to work on the right thing than it is to work many hours. Most people waste most of their time on stuff that doesn’t matter.
Once you have figured out what to do, be unstoppable about getting your small handful of priorities accomplished quickly. I have yet to meet a slow-moving person who is very successful.

Emojis and their history
I love emojis. But I did not know of their history. In this wonderful article, the author walks us through how emojis came about and have emerged as the true universal language.
The story of the emoji reaches back further than early instant messaging programs. Before these graphically detailed icons were easy to display, the clunkier, character-constructed emoticon held their place.
Carnegie Mellon computer scientist Scott Fahlman is often credited with codifying these smile-and-wink punctuation constructions. After watching posters in early online bulletin boards get into skirmishes—say, when a poster’s sarcasm was misread—he suggested in 1982 that colleagues add a “:-)” or “:-(” to indicate their tone. If posters could flag when they were being funny or sarcastic, he figured, readers wouldn’t be so easily upset.
