वृथा है पूछना, था दोष किसका,
खुला पहले गरल का कोष किसका ?
जहर अब तो सभी का खुल रहा है,
हलाहल से हलाहल धुल रहा है ।
जहर की कीच में ही आ गये जब,
कलुष बन कर कलुष पर छा गये जब,
दिखाना दोष फिर क्या अन्य जन में,
अहं से फूलना क्या व्यर्थ मन में ? #Dinakar
Hi @IndiaPostOffice, CK739106899IN booked on 1st August and yet not delivered. Seems doing Pradakshina in Patna. Is this the service that @JM_Scindia boasts about all the time? Besides, the customer compliant section on Dak Seva app doesn't work. Pathetic. @PMOIndia : FYI
Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI):
"You no longer need to write prompts."
In just 38 minutes, he explains how to use ChatGPT at a level that most people can't even imagine.
It's a talk he gave to Stanford students. A friend sent me the recording last night.
After watching it, I realized I was only taking advantage of about 15% of what this tool can really do.
Watch it in full and then read the guide I leave below on how to create a system that prompts itself.

Last time I was in Bihar & I met with Chief post master & put a complaint and this post master fell on my feet seeking forgiveness. This time, if it doesn't get sorted out, I shall not spare the postman.
Hello @PostOfficeIndia I am based off Bangalore & I subscribed a Sanskrit newspaper for my dad on Bihar that is sent from Mysuru on a daily basis by general post. Three weeks on, my dad has not received a single newspaper. Same thing happened 5 years ago. Can you act ?

The traditional Char Dham Yatra route from Rishikesh to Devprayag was a structured foot pilgrimage with defined halts.
Pilgrims would move step by step through: Muni ki Reti → Swargashram → Lakshman Jhula → Phool Chatti → Garud Chatti → Mohan Chatti → Kandi Chatti → Shivpuri → Kaudiyala → Byasi → Vyas Ghat → Devprayag.
“Chatti” literally meant these traditional halt points—simple rest stops where yatris would eat, sleep, and regain strength during the long journey on foot.
This entire stretch followed the Ganga on foot, forming a continuous spiritual corridor, not just a travel route.
The government can revive this historic trail as a dedicated walking route for adventure seekers and spiritual travelers. It would create a unique long-distance pilgrimage trek, something India currently lacks at scale.
At the same time, it can directly boost the economy of villages along the route through homestays, local food, guides, and cultural tourism—while preserving a forgotten heritage path.

This is how INJUSTICE looks like!
He is Ranjit Chitrakar, a #Muslim artist who paints #Hindu deities, sings songs on #Ramayan - one of the few 100s left who have kept the art of Pat Chitra alive in #Bengal along with the folklore.
He received honour from President of #India & #ElectionCommission of India DELETED his daughter and 2 other members from the voter list
I urge India to watch the story, not for me but for these people who are yearning for their dignity. All the artists here in this village are Muslims and 99% of them have passports. Since they do shows abroad. And…90% of them have been deleted - mostly women. They now fear as D voters if they will be pushed to other human rights violations. All their lives they have represented India abroad. But today India denied them representation in #Indian democracy? Full story here

This deserves to be a case study for IIMs.
Ratha construction at Jagannatha Dham, Puri isn’t just tradition, it’s a masterclass in execution.
No blueprints. No machines. No modern tools.
Yet, every year, three massive Rathas rise from scratch - on time.
Just age-old wisdom and skilled hands. A tradition passed down through generations.
If this isn’t world-class project management, what is?
In Barra village of Kanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, the bride's family was surprised by the demands of the groom's family!!
☆The groom's demands are being discussed all over the city.
☆These demands are not about dowry but about the method of solemnization of marriage and improper traditions!!
The demands are as follows:-
1- There will be no pre-wedding shoots.
2- The bride will wear a saree instead of a lehenga in the wedding.
3- Instead of absurd obscene deafening music in the marriage lawn, light instrumental music will play.
4- Only the bride and groom will be on the stage at the time of the garland.
5- Those who lift the bride or groom at the time of the garland will be expelled from the marriage.
6- After Panditji started the marriage process, no one will stop him, no one will interrupt him.
7- The cameraman will take pictures of the rounds etc. from a distance, not by interrupting Panditji repeatedly.
Because it is a marriage ceremony being performed in the presence of the gods by invoking them. Not shooting a movie.
8- The bride and groom will not pose directly on the instructions of the cameraman.
9- The marriage ceremony should be held during the day and the farewell should be completed by evening, so that no guest has to worry about the problems caused by eating food from 12 to 1 o'clock in the night, such as insomnia, acidity, etc.
Apart from this, it does not take the guests till midnight to reach their home and there should be no inconvenience.
10- Anyone who asks the newlywed to embrace in front of everyone will be immediately expelled from the marriage.
11- Any kind of meat and liquor will be prohibited in marriage, gods and goddesses are invoked in marriage, seeing meat and liquor, the gods and goddesses get angry and leave without blessing the bride and groom.
The result is that the girl's family has gladly accepted all the demands of the boy..!!
A very beautiful suggestion to improve society..! Exemplary to all..!!
🙏🏻Marriage is a sacred bond. Stay within the limits. 🙏🏻

📍 Undavalli Caves near Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh
Next time you are near Tirupati, make sure to visit the Gudimallam Parasurameswara Swamy Temple.
Why it’s a must-see:
This temple houses the oldest known Shiva Lingam in the world, with a history of continuous worship dating back over 2,200 years.
While the unique 5-foot monolithic Lingam dates to the 2nd or 3rd century BCE, the surrounding stone temple was built and renovated much later by the Pallavas, Cholas, and Vijayanagara rulers.
To enter the main sanctum, you must physically descend to a lower level (Garbhagriha) than the main floor, creating a powerful sense of stepping back two millennia.
The main sanctum is built in the Gajaprishta (elephant-back) style, an ancient form rounded at the rear.
At specific times of the year, the sun’s rays align perfectly to touch the deity’s feet. ☀️
It’s just 30km from Tirupati on the banks of the Swarnamukhi River. A rare chance to see Vedic-era roots preserved in stone. 🛕
The Stambheshwar Mahadev Temple, located in Kavi Kamboi, Gujarat, is a 150-year-old shrine famous for "disappearing" twice daily.
Dedicated to Lord Shiva, the temple is situated on the Arabian Sea coast and becomes fully submerged during high tide, only to reappear when the water recedes. It is considered a unique natural wonder where the sea performs jal abhishek on the 4-foot Shiva lingam.
This is my home in Kashmir right on the banks of River Jhelum. The place I took my first steps, spoke my first words. Gone since the 1990 Genocide. A Muslim family lives there illegally. I have tried for 2.5 years, submitted all papers to the Govt but every time, local officials say 'No home at that address'.
My mother still clutches the old key. Please help. Share and amplify my plea. Maybe, one day, justice will return our world to us. 🙏🏼🕉️🚩
Odisha is no stranger to India’s tourism circuit.
From the timeless Konark & Jagannath Temples, to the sands of Puri Beach and the vastness of Chilika Lake.
But it seems that if you venture deeper into the state you discover landscapes that are every bit as spectacular.
Duduma Falls in Koraput district where the Machkund River plunges dramatically off a rocky cliff is one such marvel.
It’s a reminder that India’s beauty is inexhaustible. Just when you think you’ve seen it all… another wonder appears.

I must confess that until recently I had never heard of Phool Dei, a spring festival that was celebrated yesterday in the villages of Uttarakhand.
Children gather fresh flowers from the hills and go from house to house placing them on doorsteps, offering a blessing for the household:
“Phool Dei, Chhamma Dei,
Deni Dwar, Bhar Bhakar…” roughly wishing the home prosperity.
In return they receive sweets.
It reminded me a little of Halloween in the U.S., where children go door to door saying “trick or treat.” But what a lovely contrast. Here the children arrive not threatening a prank, or asking first, but giving first. Flowers.
In an age when we speak so much about environmental consciousness, this graceful celebration of spring and nature deserves to be far more widely known.
Just as Holi travelled across India and the world, perhaps Phool Dei should too.
For me, the children of Uttarakhand are my #MondayMotivation
Submitted the final manuscript of my book on Gopal ‘Patha’ Mukherjee, co-authored by @DebduttaB10.
It is a tribute to my birthplace, Kolkata, and the man who saved it from genocidal jihad of Direct Action Day, 1946.
It is also anchored in my growing up at my maternal grandparents place near Malanga Lane in my very early childhood. My Dadu would visit Gopal-babu very often.
Leftists, Islamists, and colonialists did their best to bury the story of incredible courage and resistance, and to dismiss Gopal-babu as a local goonda.
History finds its way to the truth.
Hope you enjoy reading the book when it is out. #books
Former Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott tweets, "There’s been a Raisina Dialogue in Delhi every March since 2016...At every dialogue so far, Prime Minister Modi has set the example, attending the opening session, to hear the principal guest – last year the Prime Minister of New Zealand; this year the President of Finland – but not speaking himself. After the US and Chinese presidents, he’s probably the most immediately powerful person in the world, yet he’s not too proud to listen as well as to lead. Despite over a decade in office, perhaps because of his youth as a kind of Hindu monk, Modi has thus far managed to resist the hubris of power. And as for this notion that India, under the BJP, has somehow become an authoritarian state — that’s total BS. No country with free and fair elections, a riotously free media, and a robustly independent judiciary is in serious danger of dictatorship. And no dictatorship would host a global conference where nothing is off-limits and no one is shouted down. This year’s dialogue, after all, heard from both the Israeli foreign minister (virtually) and the Iranian deputy foreign minister..."
