Quick notes: IAF specs, Theology of rape...

• How not to negotiate: France refuses to budge on IAF specifications for Rafale ... oops moment for national security team



• Theology of Rape: "Sex-slavery supported by Quran".



• Chabahar Port: Iran offers India control of the strategic port.



• Carbs For Evolving Brains: Our bodies convert starch into glucose, the body’s fuel. The process begins as soon as we start chewing: Saliva contains an enzyme called amylase, which begins to break down starchy foods. Amylase doesn’t work all that well on raw starches, however; it is much more effective on cooked foods. Cooking makes the average potato about 20 times as digestible. 



• Rosogolla origins: The tradition of offering Rosogolla at Lord Jagannath temple is at least 300 years old. The sweet-making process reached Bengal through Odia cooks, who had come in search of work.



• Raag Mishra Kalingada:



• Phoren Lobby:

There is a phoren lobby out to f*** DRDO once and for all. They want to ensure that no Kalam can ever arise again.
