Heading for my 3rd visit. Honestly, one of the best campuses I’ve had the pleasure of visiting (and I've seen many!). The vibe, the energy, the vision—always feels like home.

विलासपुर के कलेक्टर डॉ संजय अलंग जब केंद्रीय जेल में निरीक्षण के लिए पहुँचे तो देखा कि एक 6 साल की बच्ची अपने पिता से लिपट कर रो रही थी। पूछने पर पता चला कि एक अपराध में सजायाफता क़ैदी है, ये उसकी बेटी है। 5 साल की सजा काट ली है, 5 साल और जेल में रहना है। ये बच्ची जब 15 दिन की थी, तभी उसकी माँ की मृत्यु हो गई थी। पालन पोषण के लिए घर में कोई नहीं था। इसलिए उसे जेल में ही पिता के पास रहना पड़ रहा है।
कलेक्टर साहब बच्ची को अपनी कार में बैठाकर जेल से स्कूल तक खुद छोड़ने गए। शहर के जैन इंटरनेशनल स्कूल ने इसे एडमिशन दिया। वह स्कूल के हॉस्टल में ही रहेगी। इसके लिए विशेष केयरटेकर का भी इंतज़ाम किया गया है। सारा खर्चा खुद कलेक्टर साहब उठाएँगे।
कलेक्टर साहब को वंदन 🙏
ऐसे लोगों के साथ ही मानवता जीवित है।✌️🙏🙏
A teacher in Dehradun told his class that light travels only in straight lines.
One boy in that room spent the next forty years bending it, and the internet now runs on what he built.
His name was Narinder Singh Kapany.
Born in Moga, Punjab in 1926. Schooled in Dehradun, graduated from Agra University, worked as an officer in the Indian Ordnance Factories. In 1952 he went to Imperial College London.
There, with a professor named Harold Hopkins, he bundled thin strands of glass together and transmitted a clear image through them. Around corners. Along bends. Nobody had done it before.
That is fibre optics. Undersea internet cables, endoscopy, laser surgery. He gave the field its name in a 1960 article in Scientific American.
Nehru wanted him back in India as scientific adviser to the defence ministry. He went to America instead. Founded Optics Technology, took it public in 1967, held over a hundred patents, and became one of the first Indians to build a company on that scale in Silicon Valley.
In 2009 the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for the transmission of light through glass fibre. It went to Charles Kao, who had solved the problem of impurities in the glass swallowing the signal.
Kapany was not named.
Whether he should have shared it is still disputed by people who understand the physics. What is not disputed is that Fortune had already listed him among the seven unsung heroes of the twentieth century, ten years earlier.
He died in California in 2020, aged ninety four. India awarded him the Padma Vibhushan the following year.
You cannot write a better storyline.
20-year-old Lionel Messi giving a 5-month-old baby a bath in 2007 - the two met for a charity photoshoot organized by UNICEF.
That baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal.
Messi 🇦🇷 and Yamal 🇪🇸 will compete for FIFA World Cup 2026 championship.
In 3 decades of Govt Service, I have been assaulted around 15 times on duty, just like the drs in the video are. Every single time, I have given a complaint to the Dean,RMO & the local Inspector of Police in writing. How many goons hv been prosecuted- ZERO.
Why was this politician atleast arrested? Coz, the incident was caught on CCTV and the victim was both a female & Dalit Dr. Does anyone talk abt the male Dr, who was also assaulted? No.
Violence to settle things is the norm , rather than the exception in India- one of the most primitive/brutal societies in the world. Believe me, every single day there is an assault on a Tamilnadu Govt Dr, posted in this or that WhatsApp grp. How many r prosecuted? To my knowledge, none.
Once I was assaulted with bleeding injuries on duty at a local GH, walked up to the police outpost and with blood dripping from my body on the complaint paper, gave a written complaint addressed to the Police Inspector. Later, the case also came to court. Nurses & wardboys testified as witnesses. I identified the assailants & weapons in court.
The judge who sat in the case was an honest upright lady. I was then treating her father. I cd see that she was determined that justice be delivered. What happened? Ultimately the case was dismissed. The honest Inspector later met me & was fuming. "Sir, what can I do? In TN, everything is politicised. Our (honest) DC has received calls from 3 ministers. The APP has received 'calls'. All the witnesses who testified for u, later turned hostile. Their families have been threatened with death. Sometimes, I feel like resigning sir. There is no justice in Tamilnadu." Remember that was an Inspector of Police speaking.
If you are a medical student/intern/ resident, get your degrees & get the f*** out of this thankless country. I have a hundred more incidents to relate.
*An advice from a senior citizen currently visiting the US*
Dear friends,
We have been staying in Seattle, Washington, for the past two months. My wife was suffering from a severe respiratory issue when we left India. After using those medicines from India,here in the US, she had almost recovered.
However, as our supply ran out, So, I asked my daughter to schedule an appointment with a pulmonologist (respiratory specialist) in Seattle.
we had to consult a general physician first. We were given an appointment for a week later—and that too, only via a video call.
We spoke to the doctor on the phone for about 10 minutes.He said he understood the issue and prescribed appropriate medicines, stating that we could pick them up from a pharmacy.we were told the medicines were not immediately available and would take 4–5 days to arrive.
We finally received the medicines on the fifth day. Surprisingly, the medicines were manufactured by 'Cipla' and bore the label 'Made in India'. Even after a 50% discount through US medical insurance, we still had to pay an equivalent of ₹21,000. This means medicines costing just ₹2,500 in India cost a staggering ₹42,000 in the US.
It took us 12 days to obtain medicines here that are readily available at any pharmacy in India. A week later, we received a bill of $283 (approximately ₹23,000) for the doctor's consultation fee.
Consider yourselves to be fortunate to be living in India during your retirement years.
We often look abroad in search of a "good life." But if we pause to think... certain everyday conveniences—unavailable even to billionaires in London or New York—are easily accessible to the middle class in India.
Here are *7 examples* showing that even the life of a common person in our country is a **VIP lifestyle**:
*1 Data Democratization:*
While countries around the world spend over $50 (approx. ₹4,000) a month for basic internet, we enjoy high-speed 5G data for just ₹300. We have the cheapest data in the world! This is what has digitally transformed our economy.
*2 The "10-Minute" doorstep delivery:*
Run out of ginger for your tea or out of milk? Place an order on Blinkit, Zepto, or Swiggy Instamart, and the item is in your hands before the water even boils. In Europe, by contrast, you’d have to put on a coat and walk 15 minutes in the cold to a store—and you wouldn't be surprised to find it already closed.
*3 Instant Healthcare:*
Need to see a specialist? You can go straight to the hospital. Need a blood test? A lab technician comes to your home as early as 6 AM to collect the sample, and the report arrives on your WhatsApp by afternoon. We don't face the three-month waiting lists or the nightmare of "insurance approvals" common elsewhere even for trivial ailments.
*4 Human Support System:*
Having people to help with house cleaning, cooking, and driving isn't a luxury reserved only for the wealthy here; it is the backbone of middle-class life. It offers something incredibly valuable: it saves **TIME**.
*5 The UPI Revolution:*
From a ₹5 roadside tea to a ₹50,000 laptop—everything is just a scan away! No need for wallets, no excuses like "the card machine isn't working," and absolutely no transaction fees. In this regard, the rest of the world lags far behind us.
*6 *"Free" Little Joys:*
No matter which restaurant you visit, you get a glass of drinking water for free (whereas elsewhere, they’d charge you $5). There’s an ironing man / chai wallah right at the end of the street to take care of our instant needs. It is these little things that make life run so smoothly.
*7 Social Bonds (Social Safety Net):*
We don't live in a culture of legal notices and courts; we live in a culture of relationships. If we face a problem, a neighbor won't send a court notice—they’ll lovingly cook and send over some *khichdi*.
*The Bottom Line:*
India is not merely a country; it is a wonderful world filled with conveniences at every turn.
