The rivers Yangtze and Mekong are the two major watercourses of east Asia. They discharge into different points in sea, about 1,700 miles (2,735 km) apart.

But, even though they end up in completely different places, they start off life remarkably close together.

His name was Colonel Sonam Wangchuk.

Not the activist. The soldier.

He was born in Sankar village in Leh, Ladakh. He left college midway to join the Indian Army. Commissioned in 1987.

In May 1999 Pakistani troops had occupied key mountain positions in Kargil. India was fighting to take them back.

On May 30 1999 Major Sonam Wangchuk led 40 soldiers of the Ladakh Scouts to Chorbat La. The altitude was above 18,000 feet. No artillery support. Deep snow. Extreme cold.

While moving toward the Line of Control the enemy ambushed his column from a vantage position. One of his soldiers was killed instantly.

Sonam Wangchuk did not retreat.

He held his column together. Then led a counter-ambush from the flank. His team killed the enemy, recovered weapons and raised the tricolor on that ridge.

Two army posts in that sector are now named after him. Sonam 1 and Sonam 2.

For his bravery he was awarded the Maha Vir Chakra. India’s second highest wartime gallantry award.

He retired in 2018 after 30 years of service. He lived quietly in Ladakh.

Yesterday morning he died of a heart attack. He was 61 years old.

India lost a real hero today. Not on a stage. On an 18,000 foot mountain in the snow, fighting for every metre of this country.

Rest in honour, Colonel.

Year 1999, her son, Lieutenant Saurabh Kalia just five months in service led a patrol of six soldiers from 4 JAT #IndianArmy at Bajrang post in the Kaksar sector of Kargil in Ladakh.

Patrol was ambushed and captured alive once they ran out of bullets. Then their

Eyes were punctured
Ear drums were pierced
Genitals we’re cut off
Teeth were broken
Limbs were chopped
Skulls were fractured

22 days later pakis pumped bullets into mutilated alive bodies of

LIEUTENANT SAURABH KALIA
SEPOY MULA RAM BIDIYASAR
SEPOY BANWARI LAL BAGARIA
SEPOY ARJUN RAM BASWANA
SEPOY BHIKA RAM MOONDH
SEPOY NARESH SINGH SINSINWAR

and it was the beginning of #KargilWar.

Their supreme sacrifice is the pinnacle of the military history and the brutal inhuman torture by the pakis is the nadir of the military history.

This year Saurabh would have turned 50…

Any how today it’s the birthday of Vijay Kalia aunty, let’s bless her on her birthday today.

MATA RANI keeps giving her strength..

#FreedomisnotFree a few pay #CostofWar.

The Epic Return Begins as Amur Falcons Ride the Winds Home ! From the golden savannas of Botswana and Zimbabwe, where summer rains are fading and the chill is begining to set in, legendary travellers Alang and Apapang have taken flight. Their compass is set northward. They are now journeying towards the Somalian gateway, that crucial pause before they take the great leap over the Arabian Sea crossing. But the winds… not yet ready. The currents that will carry them from Somalia to India have still not aligned. And so, for now, the falcons wait resting, refueling, preparing for one of the most extraordinary flights on Earth. These are the same skies once traced from Siberia to Manipur, then across continents to Africa capturing hearts in India and beyond. Apapang, Alang and Ahu…their journey back home is about to unfold. Watch this space. @sureshwii #Amurfalcons #AmurMigration #BirdMigration @wii_india

1974 to 1978 I studied in Sri Ramakrishna Misson Vidyalaya, Coimbatore.
Reason to go there :

City colleges fees: Rs 1000 to 3000.
Hotel fees : 200 per month.

In SRMV: (25 kms from city)
College fees: 300
Hotel fees : 75 per month.

Reason to travel by train:
I could not afford even that Hostel fees.
I found a Govt Harijan hostel in city which was free.
But bus fare was 60 paise one way. Monthly Rs. 30.
That also sounded too costly.

A passenger train used to run in that route and its student quarterly pass was Rs. 7.

Reason to talk about this platform:

Train
In: Dep : 5:50 am. Arrival: 6:25 am.
Out: Departure: 6:10 pm. Arrival 6:45 pm.
College started at 9:00 am. Ended any time.

Time to kill:
6:30 am to 9:00 am.
Any time to 6:00 pm.
Average daily 6 hrs.

What I did:
Sat in this Railway platform and studied Maths Physics Chemistry

How did I get BARC job:

My 1000 days and 6000 man hours intense focus on Avagadros, Ohms and Pythagoras

Those days my mother was only earning member of family. Rs. 3 a day. So I had to do all sacrifice to get a degree without denting her arithmetics much. She gave her 4 bangles to pay my college fees.

What I wish to say is:
“Fortunately I was poor”.

Be it college or Career or business
“Patience, Focus, Frugality and Discipline “ Gives slow but sustainable success.

Reproduction is strange in many social insects, but the Iberian harvester ant (Messor ibericus) takes the weirdness to the next level. ⁠
⁠
Queens mate with males of another species and then clone them, researchers reported last year, which means this ant is the only known organism that propagates two species by itself. Evolutionary biologist Jonathan Romiguier, who led the team, calls M. ibericus “in a sense, the most complex, colonial life form we know of so far.”⁠
⁠
The finding “is almost impossible to believe and pushes our understanding of evolutionary biology,” says Michael Goodisman, an evolutionary biologist who was not involved with the new research. “Just when you think you’ve seen it all, social insects reveal another surprise.”⁠

How The U.S. Bankrupted The British Empire - The Secret Bill for WWII.

We are taught that Britain "won" World War II.

Financially, they lost everything.
While the history books focus on the victory in 1945, they rarely mention the secret economic collapse that followed. On December 31, 2006-more than 60 years after the war ended-the British government quietly made a final wire transfer of $83 million to the United States.

This was the last installment of the Anglo-American Loan, a desperate $4.33 billion lifeline negotiated by John Maynard Keynes to save a bankrupt nation from starvation.

The "Special Relationship" wasn't free. The abrupt end of Lend-Lease, the forced convertibility of the Sterling, and the "dollar gap" destroyed the British Empire's financial dominance and ushered in decades of austerity.

To understand why India was bled dry of its resources and finances and left bankrupt, you have to watch this documentary in full and then I will post part two.

In the far reaches of our Milky Way, nestled deep within the dense star cluster Stephenson 2 in the constellation Scutum, reigns a true cosmic colossus: Stephenson 2-18, the largest known star in the universe.This swollen red supergiant boasts an estimated radius roughly 2,150 times that of our Sun—its glowing surface stretching nearly 1.5 billion kilometers across. In terms of volume, it could swallow about 10 billion Suns whole, reducing our familiar star to a mere grain of sand beside this monstrous sphere.If Stephenson 2-18 suddenly replaced the Sun at the heart of our solar system, its fiery edge would engulf Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and extend far beyond Saturn's orbit, plunging the outer planets into eternal twilight.Lying some 20,000 light-years away, this crimson behemoth glows with a relatively cool surface temperature of around 3,200 K, furiously burning through its nuclear fuel and hurling vast clouds of material into the surrounding void.Observing such extreme giants provides astronomers with priceless windows into stellar life cycles: how the most massive stars balloon into supergiants, shed their outer layers in powerful winds, and ultimately detonate in spectacular supernovae that briefly outshine entire galaxies while forging the heavy elements essential for planets and life.For anyone who gazes upward in wonder, Stephenson 2-18 stands as a breathtaking testament to the universe's boundless scale. Our Sun, so vital and immense in our daily lives, is utterly humbled by these rare titans—reminding us that the cosmos crafts marvels on dimensions that stretch the limits of imagination.The next time you look at the night sky, consider those distant pinpricks of light: somewhere among them burns a monster like Stephenson 2-18, silently commanding its corner of the galaxy and whispering of the awe-inspiring forces that birth the stars.

From the Battlefield to a Cell, The Unspoken Pain of an Indian Soldier, 444 Days Without My Brother!

It’s been 1 year, 2 months, 17 days, 443 days in total, 10,632 hours, 637,920 minutes… since my brother, Major Vikrant Kumar Jaitly, was taken.
Since Maj Vikrant was 1st abducted, held incommunicado for eight long months, then kept in detention somewhere in the Middle East, my life has been a countdown of fear, hope & unbearable silence.
I am waiting to hear his voice, I am waiting to see his face, I dread what they have done to him.
I dread it because only I know who he was when he was whole, & I dread it because I know what he managed to communicate in that one final call…
A call made to the only number he could still remember.
A call carrying more pain than words.
A call carrying more truth than the world is ready to face.
I have more questions than answers, so much terror in every second that passes.
My brother suffers from many injuries from his line of duty.
He has given his youth, his strength, his mind, his life to Bharat.
He has lived & bled for the flag.
As Bharat rises as a global force, our soldiers & veterans are becoming easy targets abroad.
This is not just personal anymore, this pattern of picking up our soldiers & veterans abroad… is this now jeopardising our own National Security instead?
We must ask this question. We must demand answers. We must not turn away.
We need the same, decisive action that was taken in Qatar, I am putting my faith, my life & my hope in our government ..That they will safely bring their soldier back.
The same action that brought home our Naval veterans.
Our soldier deserves no less. No Indian soldier deserves less.
Bring our soldier back.
Do not let this momentum die.
Do not let a man who gave everything to this nation be abandoned in silence.
We must not forget our veterans, we must not let this happen to them, not now, not ever.
As my late father, Col VK Jaitly (SM), always said, “If you want to honour a soldier, be an Indian worth dying for.”
BHAI I HAVE LOST EVERYTHING FINDING YOU
I will NOT stop, I will NOT give up till he is back to the soil of his Bharat, the country he gave up all for!!
Kalika Mata Ki Jai
