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
#WATCH | Crash landing in Baramati | Baramati, Maharashtra: An eyewitness at the spot says, "I saw it with my eyes. This is really painful. When the aircraft descended, it seemed it would crash, and it did crash. It then exploded. There was a massive explosion. After that, we rushed here and saw that the aircraft was on fire. There were 4-5 explosions in the aircraft again. More people came here, and they tried to pull the people out (of the aircraft). But since this was a huge fire, people could not help. Ajit Pawar was onboard and this is really painful for us. I can't describe it in words..."

@Uber_India turned out to be irresponsible. My wife was travelling in an Uber cab this afternoon & the cab driver hit a car ahead of him. In the accident, my wife got grievously injured, but the cab driver made her pay full fare & deserted her by roadside. No callback from Uber.
On the eve of the Global Tiger Day, we take this opportunity to inform that wild tiger numbers have increased by 78% since the inception of the GTRP in 2010. Regionally skewed, but re-assuring ! Kudos to TRCs and partners #globaltigerday#internationaltigerday
It was a pleasure meeting Prof. Vesselin Popovski. He has done appreciable work in deepening the understanding of international relations and geo-politics in a rapidly changing world.
In 1999, Ratan Tata and his team faced 'humiliation' when they attempted to sell Tata Motors’ car business to Ford. What could have been a bitter memory became a testament to his resilience and unyielding vision.
As we bid farewell to this towering figure, we are reminded of his enduring legacy — one that transformed industries and touched millions of lives.
