A final bell. A lifetime of service.
I only just came across this moving moment from Bishop Cotton Girlsโ School in Bengaluru, nearly a year after it happened.
A school attendant, affectionately known as โDas Uncle,โ was retiring after 38 years of service.
On his final day, he checked his watch and rang the large school bell one last time. The students counted every stroke & then erupted in cheers and applause, joined by their teachers.
The pride on his face & the depth of his bond with the school are unmistakable.
I was moved too.
When our schools nurture dignity and respect for everyone who serves their community, whatever their role, there is every reason to be optimistic about our future.

Here's to another year filled with runs and success for ๐ฎ๐ณ! ๐
๐จ Big Action Against Child Marriage by CM Suvendu Adhikari:
โข In the last 6 months, 12,000 child marriages have taken place in Murshidabad district alone.
โขMuslim Personal Law is not exempted in POSCO Act.
โข Every man involved in a child marriage will be arrested under the POCSO Act.
โข No government benefits will be provided to those involved in child marriage.
West Bengal tops the list for child marriage in India.
No matter the occasion, no matter where they are, these monsters always seem to be after our little girls.
In Muzaffarnagar, a 14-year-old girl dressed as Shri Radha and heading to a temple on Janmashtami night was abducted and rap*d.
Now, two more accused, Salman and Waleen, have been arrested after a police encounter, while the main accused Sameer was already in custody.
Good to see proactive citizens doing their own bit to selflessly help, where they could have just made reels criticizing (deservingly) the govt, administration, municipality and could have walked away!
๐จ HUGE: India's BOLD MESSAGE to the United Nations ๐ฅ

โ43 years ago, when I joined ISRO, one launch used to happen once in 3 years. Today, 50 launches per year is going to be a reality soon.โ - Dr. V. Narayanan, Chairman, ISRO
From 1 launch every 3 years to 50 a year. What a massive transformation!
If Garba is fun, why don't Muslim women go?
If Garba is religious, why do Muslim men go?
If Garba is cultural, why don't Mosques organise?
Will Aditya Thackeray answer?
