My mother's cooking was always just a little bit burnt.

The rolled omelets, the fish, the hamburgers.

Just a little, the charred spots were darker.

I'd always thought my mother was bad at cooking.

"Mom, it's burnt again."

"Sorry."

"Why do you always burn it?"

"Because I'm bad at it."

My mother would always say that and laugh.

When I ate at a friend's house, I was surprised.

The rolled omelet wasn't burnt.

It was a clean yellow.

"So, cooking doesn't have to be burnt."

When I got home, I said to my mother,

"My friend's mom's rolled omelet wasn't burnt."

My mother made a slightly forlorn face.

"Yeah, you're right."

"Why does yours always get burnt?"

My mother didn't answer.

When I grew up and started cooking for myself,

I made a rolled omelet.

It didn't burn.

It was easy.

Why had my mother always burnt hers so much?

When I went back to my family home, I watched my mother standing in the kitchen. At that moment,

Lalit Modi is a fraud who ran away from India, so he should be the last person to speak on Sanjiv Goenka.

S Goenka is a billionaire who is investing his money in Indian sports & not just in cricket. His contribution will be remembered forever for Sports♥️

Every year in Yelahanka, Bengaluru, a mother and father quietly stand beside a road that bears their son’s name... Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan Road.

For the country, it is a tribute. For K. Unnikrishnan and Dhanalakshmi, it is a place to remember the child they raised.

Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan was one of the brave commandos of the National Security Guard who laid down his life during the 2008 Mumbai attacks while rescuing civilians at the Taj Hotel.

In the middle of that night of terror, he reportedly told his team: “Do not come up, I will handle them.” He fought the terrorists so others could live. For India, he became a symbol of courage, duty, and sacrifice. But for his parents, the pride of a hero comes with the pain of losing a son.

On his birth anniversary, they still come to pay their respects... quietly, with folded hands, carrying memories only parents can understand.

The nation stands proud of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. And it remains forever indebted to him and to the parents who gave their son in service of the country. Because the freedom and safety we live with today were secured by sacrifices like his.

It was 3 pm at Swargadwar cremation ground in Puri.

Sabyasachi, 35 years old, who was a Vice President in a big software company in America, came straight from the airport to the cremation ground. His father, Pradipta Mishra, 75 years old, had passed away the previous night.

Sabyasachi was holding an expensive laptop bag and wearing Ray Ban glasses. He looked very busy and kept checking his watch again and again.

Tarun from Moksha Event Management, a funeral service company, was standing there. He had arranged everything. The wood was ready, the priest had been called, and Pradipta Mishra’s body was bathed and prepared.

Sabyasachi arrived. He looked at his father’s face. Two drops of tears fell from his eyes.

He asked Tarun, “Mr Tarun, is everything ready? I have to catch a return flight at 6 pm. I have an important meeting tomorrow. Please finish this quickly.”

Tarun was shocked but quietly nodded.

The rituals were completed. Sabyasachi lit the funeral fire. Smoke rose into the sky.

Then he took Tarun aside and took out his checkbook. He said, “Tarun, thank you. You arranged everything well. What is your bill? Fifty thousand or one lakh? Tell me the amount, I will write the cheque now. I cannot come again. Please also take care of the ashes.”

Tarun smiled strangely and said, “Sir, there is no need to pay. Your bill has already been paid.”

Sabyasachi was confused. “Already paid? Who paid? Did my uncle pay?”

Tarun replied, “No sir. Five years ago, your father came to our office. He was very sick and could hardly walk. He asked us, what is your package? Will you manage everything so that my son does not face any problem?”

“We explained everything to him. That same day he deposited fifty thousand rupees in advance. He also gave me this letter. He told me, when my son comes, give him this letter. And if he does not come, you perform my last rites.”

Tarun gave the letter to Sabyasachi.

With shaking hands, Sabyasachi opened it. In his father’s weak handwriting, it was written:

“Dear Sabyasachi,

My son, I know you are very busy. In America you may not even get time to breathe. I know when you hear about my death, you will be worried. Will I get leave? Will I get a ticket? What about my meeting? These questions will trouble you.

Son, your time and career are very important. I raised you so that you can win the world. Do not suffer loss for the body of an old man.

That is why I have arranged everything for my death in advance. I have already paid this organization. They will manage everything. If you come, good. If you do not come, I will not be angry.

I have only one request.

When you were small and I dropped you at school, I never left your hand.

Today when you light my funeral fire, may your hand not shake. Return soon. Your wife will be waiting.

Yours,
Baba”

After reading the letter, the checkbook fell from Sabyasachi’s hand into the mud.

In that cremation ground, where the sound of burning wood was heard, Sabyasachi’s pride and career also turned into ashes.

He fell on his knees.

“Baba, forgive me, Baba.”

He held Tarun’s feet and cried, “Tarun, I do not want to go back to America. I want to stay with my father. I earned crores of rupees, but in the end I became a beggar. My father was thinking about my meeting even at the time of his death, and I was paying for his last rites?”

That day Sabyasachi did not catch his flight. He sat the whole night in front of the burning pyre.

Because in the end he understood:

Prepaid can be for a SIM card. But a father’s love is never prepaid. A father’s love is endless, and no money in the world can repay it.

Lesson: No matter how big you become in the world, no matter how much money you earn, when the parents who once changed your clothes need you at the end of their life, do not turn your face away.

Any company can perform the funeral. But tears cannot be bought from outside.

Those tears should come only from blood relations.

People today talk about Abhishek Sharma, but no one talked about him until 2023.

He has been playing the IPL since 2018, but you rarely heard about him.

Till 2023, Abhishek Sharma had already played 5 seasons with SRH and one season with Delhi Capitals, and he was clearly struggling.

Then came Yuvraj Singh. He started grooming Abhishek Sharma from 2023. He knew that Abhishek Sharma was not lacking talent, he was lacking hard work.

Abhishek Sharma then spent just one year with Yuvraj Singh, and in IPL 2024, we saw the result. In the same year, Abhishek Sharma made his India debut.

Then in IPL 2025, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head did something that had never been done in T20 history. Both of them completely revolutionised T20 cricket.

Today, Abhishek Sharma is the Number 1 T20 Batsman, and a big chunk of the credit goes to Yuvraj Singh.

Hopefully, Yuvi Paaji will bless us with 2-3 more talents like Abhishek Sharma.

🇮🇳 3 TERRORISTS vs 1 "BINDAAS" COP: THE LEGEND OF MUDASIR AHMED SHEIKH 🇮🇳

They called him "Bindaas" (The Fearless). On May 25, 2022, he showed the world why.

Meet Constable Mudasir Ahmed Sheikh of the J&K Police, the man who stood between a massive terror strike and the innocent people of Baramulla.

THE IMPOSSIBLE ODDS
When 3 heavily armed Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terrorists were intercepted at the Kreeri Checkpoint, chaos erupted. Mudasir didn't wait for cover. He didn't wait for backup. He charged.

THE ACTION
In a fierce close-quarter battle, he engaged the enemy head-on.
The result?
Terrorist 1: Neutralized.
Terrorist 2: Neutralized.
Terrorist 3: Neutralized.
He stopped a catastrophe. But in saving his city, he took the bullets meant for others.

THE LEGACY
The image of his father, Maqsood Ahmed Sheikh (a retired cop), receiving the Shaurya Chakra from the President is etched in our hearts. A father’s grief, mixed with a patriot’s pride.

Today, a crossing in Baramulla is named "Bindaas Chowk". A permanent reminder that while heroes may fall, their stories never die.

He lived like a King. He fought like a Lion. He left as a Legend.
We sleep safely because men like Mudasir stay awake.

Such people are part of the problem

Feeling sorry for self though safe...

But not a word of condemnation for the terrorists.... nor sorrow for lives lost.... nor gratitude for the many terror attacks that our intelligence and security forces averted

Maybe blaming people who do their best to keep nation safe is easy and rewarding?

The rot within gets clearer....?

1500 Years Old Lord Ganesha Idol In Shree Vinayaka Devaru Temple, Idagunji , Karnataka

The Shree Vinayaka Devaru is a Hindu temple dedicated to the god Ganesha (Vinayaka), located on the West Coast of India in the Idagunji town in Uttara Kannada district in Karnataka state, India. The temple's popularity as a religious place is recorded by about 1 million devotees visiting it annually. It is one of the six famous Ganesha temples on the west coast of India, which is also popularly called the "Ganesha Coast".

The importance of the temple is attributed to a legend, occurring at the end of the Dwapara Yuga (the third Hindu epoch or era) before the onset of Kali Yuga (the present epoch or era). Every one feared the advent of Kali Yuga, as the god Krishna was about to leave earth for his divine abode at the end of Dwapara Yuga. Sages started performing austerities and prayers seeking Krishna’s help to overcome all impediments of Kali Yuga. Sages led by Valakhilya started rituals in Kunjavana, a forest area on the banks of the Sharavati River in Karnataka which joins the Arabian Sea. During this period, he encountered many obstacles in performing the sacrifice and was very disturbed. He, therefore, sought the advice of the divine sage Narada, seeking suitable ways to tackle the problem. Narada advised Valakhilya to seek the blessings of Ganesha - the remover of obstacles - before restarting his sacrifice.

At the request of the sages, Narada selected a site for the rite on the banks of the River Sharavathi, at Kunjavana, seeking Ganesha's intervention. Even the Hindu Trinity (the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva) had visited this place in the past to bring an end to the demons who were involved in destroying the earth. The gods had even created the sacred lakes Chakratirtha and Brahmatirtha at that time. Narada and the other sages created a new sacred pond called Devatirtha. Narada invited the gods and requested Ganesha's mother Parvati to send Ganesha. The rites were performed and hymns recited extolled Ganesha. Pleased by their devotion, Ganesha consented to remain at the site to help them conduct the rituals without any trouble. On this occasion, one more lake was also created and named as Ganesha-tirtha to fetch water to the temple. The same location is now called the Idagunji, where the Ganesh Temple was built by the devotees around 4th-5th century CE.
