Zoho Founder Reveals Skills Children Should Learn To Excel In Life
Zoho's founder Sridhar Vembu believes that children should learn certain skills to excel in life, beyond just academic excellence. Vembu emphasised the importance of skills like art, music, poetry, sports and cooking. According to him, these skills help develop pattern recognition, creativity, balance and critical thinking. Pure mathematics, carnatic music, bharatanatyam, classical art, sculpture, chess or go, mridangam, classical poetry, fine cooking - what is common to all of them? (apart from the fact that I am not good in any of them 😁, at least I get to appreciate some of them) We need… — Sridhar Vembu (@svembu) July 22, 2025 Also Read | Influencer Goes For A Swim In Her "Favourite Spot" In Cape Town, It Turns Out To Be Sewage Water In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Vembu wrote, "Pure mathematics, carnatic music, bharatanatyam, classical art, sculpture, chess or go, mridangam, classical poetry, fine cooking - what is common to all of them?" "We need children to have a decent exposure to these at a young age - not because we expect them to grow up to be brilliant mathematicians or world class chess players or world class chefs but because an exposure to these help them to be good at whatever they end up doing." Vembu stated that by exposure, he doesn't mean competitive pressure. Exposure to art and sculpture can help someone become a great architect, he added. He stressed that exposure to these skills is more important than becoming an expert, as it can help children become well-rounded individuals. His approach focuses on nurturing curious, sensitive and well-rounded individuals. According to him, these foundational skills can quietly enhance how children think, create and solve problems, regardless of their future paths. Internet reacts to the post The post revived massive traction, users praising his thoughts. "Foster CURIOSITY - children develop pattern recognition, creativity, balance, and critical thinking that enrich whatever they pursue," one user wrote. "Ancient India was good at everything. Unfortunately we are losing touch and unfortunately there are people abandoning it for the sake of being modern. We need to embrace our roots," a second user said. "Beautifully said. These disciplines cultivate attention, abstraction, rhythm, structure, and taste with aspects that improve thought within every field. Rather than mastery, early exposure to depth is what matters. Goal, not prodigies, is the perspective. Learning of any true notice comes from a child following of a Go board or listening to Carnatic music," a third user wrote.

(Also Read: Overwhelmed Suriya takes selfie video with sea of fans gathered outside his Chennai home for his 50th birthday.

Suriya's first look from Venky Atluri film While the film hasn't been titled yet, Suriya 46 will see him play the lead. The film, directed by Venky, will be simultaneously made in Telugu and Tamil. Sharing a poster of Suriya looking dapper in a blue T-shirt and a brown jacket, Vamsi wrote, 'Wishing our Hero @Suriya_offl garu a fantastic birthday! An actor who keeps setting the bar higher. We're beyond excited to show you all the vintage Suriya garu in #Suriya46.' Fans were thrilled to see the return of 'vintage' Suriya, leaving comments that his look was a 'banger'. One fan commented on X, 'Young charm look.' Another wrote, 'Waiting for vintage Suriya anna.' Some fans who had hoped that the film's title would be announced were disappointed. 'Mahn he fits perfectly in any look,' wrote one fan. About Suriya 46 Suriya 46 stars Suriya, Mamitha Baiju, Radhika Sarathkumar, and Raveena Tandon in lead roles. While promoting Retro in Hyderabad in April, Suriya confirmed the film with Venky and said, 'I had to start with Allu Arvind garu (for Ghajini); the whole journey started with him. With his blessings, you have been waiting for this announcement. We are associating with Sithara Entertainments, Vamsi, and my dear brother Venky here.' He also said, 'This will be my next. As you've all been asking after a long time, with beautiful association and beautiful talent here.

Tesla to integrate xAI's Grok AI assistant in vehicles next week
Tesla owners in the United States will soon be able to interact with their vehicles in an entirely new way. Elon Musk has confirmed that Grok — the conversational AI assistant developed by his AI company xAI — will begin rolling out to Tesla vehicles next week, IndiaTimes reports. The integration marks the next step in Tesla's push to enhance the in-car experience through smart, voice-controlled features. According to Musk, Grok will bring real-time responses, contextual navigation, and control over in-car functions using natural language commands, all while maintaining driver focus on the road. Once live, Grok will function as a voice-activated assistant capable of handling navigation, adjusting climate control, changing music, and providing real-time answers to driver queries — all without requiring physical interaction with the car's interface. The integration is designed to reduce distraction and streamline in-car controls, creating what Tesla describes as a more "seamless on-road experience." The company has also hinted at broader uses, including the ability to entertain passengers and engage in informative conversations during commutes. Beyond Alexa and Siri: What Makes Grok Different What sets Grok apart from existing assistants like Siri or Alexa is its deep integration with Tesla's physical systems and the broader Musk product ecosystem, including X (formerly Twitter). Grok can modify vehicle settings in real time, and is designed to respond with greater contextual awareness, even featuring a personality described as 'slightly irreverent' by its developers. While that personality will reportedly take a back seat in the in-car version to prioritise functionality, Grok's ability to merge conversational AI with real-world hardware control is expected to define a new standard for automotive AI . Grok 4: Smarter, faster, more capable Tesla vehicles will receive Grok 4, the latest version of the assistant, which Musk has claimed can help solve complex technical problems — a capability that may not be required in most car scenarios but highlights its expanded intelligence and contextual understanding. Compared to previous versions, Grok 4 offers faster response times, improved comprehension, and better integration with vehicle diagnostics and user preferences. A controversial past and a safer future The launch follows public scrutiny of Grok 3, an earlier version that came under fire for making antisemitic remarks in a viral online exchange. The controversy raised concerns over safety protocols and content moderation in generative AI systems. With Grok 4's deployment in Tesla vehicles, safety and content filtering will be a key focus area, especially given the assistant's role in real-world settings. The road ahead: Smarter, more personal cars With this move, Tesla aims to redefine the relationship between driver and vehicle. Grok will be able to suggest quicker routes, provide real-time assistance for technical issues, and adapt in-car settings automatically based on driver behaviour or environmental conditions. The rollout is set to begin next week in the US, with Tesla drivers expected to be among the first globally to access a conversational AI experience built directly into their cars. The move could lay the groundwork for wider AI adoption across the automotive sector — positioning vehicles as intelligent, adaptive companions rather than just modes of transport.
