Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], February 27: The school uniform is plaid — the kind of cheap synthetic fabric that softens with age, that every laundry cycle softens a little more until it starts to look like something worn with love rather than worn out.

For millennia, Indian philosophy considered viveka not a personality trait but a discipline — something cultivated through practice, reflection, and a willingness to sit with complexity rather than collapse it into convenience. Shekhar Natarajan believes the AI industry has never learned it.…
