The perfect video to view on Holi…
Because the colours of India spring up in many different ways & surprise us.
Chillis laid out for drying create an amazingly beautiful tapestry when seen from above.
This is Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh which alone has a share of 15% in India’s chilli production.
Can, & should AP turn this seasonal crop into a tourist attraction?
It’s a winter harvest so the timing is right.
I’ve never been, but I suspect the problem is that the beauty of the patterns may not be visible at ground level.
Balloon rides?
Curate performances of local music and dance at that time & create a festival?
Other ideas?
I know many will feel that it should be left free of potentially disruptive tourists. But that overlooks the opportunity for the local farmers and communities to supplement their incomes.

Video shared by the brother of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, AC who sacrificed his life while saving a NSG comrade after saving 14 hostages from terrorists, in the Mumbai terror attack of 2008.
A family in a car approaches the house of the brother of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan AC, a lady gets down, reaches the gate of the house, bows her head for a second, and then leaves a simple note written on the page of note book.
It is always the most simplest of gestures which carry the most sincerest of respect and regard.
My eyes teared up.
Somewhere up there, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan AC, would surely be smiling today. ❤️🙏🇮🇳
When the Government of India announced the Padma Shri for Dr. Tapan Kumar Lahiri,
the protocol required him to travel to Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi to receive the honor from the President.
However, Dr. Lahiri was hesitant to go. His reasoning was simple: "If I go to Delhi, who will look after my patients in the OPD?" For him, a day away from the hospital wasn't a holiday; it was a day his patients—many of whom traveled from Bihar and rural UP—would go untreated.
Finally he did go given the prestige associated with the event.
Who is Dr Tapan Lahiri?
Dr. Tapan Kumar Lahiri is a legendary Indian cardiothoracic surgeon and professor commonly referred to as the "Saint of BHU". Dr. Lahiri has done FRCS and MCh and working in BHU.
Dr. Lahiri’s commitment to the poor is extraordinary.
In 1994, when his salary (including allowances) exceeded ₹1 lakh, he stopped taking it entirely, directing the university to use the funds for the treatment of underprivileged patients.
After retiring in 2003, he continued this practice with his pension. He keeps only enough to cover two simple meals a day and donates the remainder to the BHU patient fund.
Even in his 80s, he has been known to walk to the hospital at 6:00 AM daily, carrying a simple bag and a black umbrella, to check on his patients.
As he says
"With the grace of Lord Vishwanath and Maa Annapurna, I will keep serving patients till my last breath."
जय गणेश!
कारगिल युद्धातील परमवीर चक्र विजेते कॅप्टन योगेंद्र सिंह यादव यांनी श्रीमंत दगडूशेठ हलवाई गणपती बाप्पांचे दर्शन घेतले, ट्रस्टतर्फे त्यांचा यथोचित सन्मान केला.
A 4-0 unbeaten record since his professional debut.
Relentless aggression. Relentless stamina.
Quiet confidence.
Impressed by clips of Nishant Dev’s bouts.
He fights like a man on a mission.
Vijender Singh and others blazed the trail for Indian pros, but Nishant looks ready to carry that flame forward.
The next Great Indian Hope of world boxing?

In the 2017 terrorist attack in Pulwama, Kashmir.
The first bullet pierced his helmet, the second bullet passed through his nose, and the third bullet completely shattered his jaw, but he continued to counterattack without losing consciousness, and remained with the same consciousness with shining eyes until he reached the military hospital 30 km away, showing the thumbs up/be cool (👍) sign to the doctors who were scared after seeing his broken and battered face, and showing the sign of 'I'll be back' to his frightened relatives..
Everything is incredible! Army Chief Bipin Rawat, who went to meet him, said, "He is the most fearless man. Despite undergoing about twenty-eight surgeries, that face could not be fixed, but he silenced those who expected rest and put a mask on his face and took up arms again.
This situation is unimaginable to anyone. But, the son of Alappuzha's Rajalakshmi, "Rishirajalakshmi", still said only Vande Bharat. Luff: Colonel Rishirajalakshmi left his engineering degree and joined

Operation SINDOOR wasn’t just a strike—it was India’s hi-tech war debut. Homegrown missiles, attack drones, jammers, radars & satellites. Pakistan’s China-Turkey tech was jammed & shredded.
This was ‘Made in India’s biggest agnipariksha.
My take:
