बात है 2005 की..जब डॉ. मनमोहन सिंह प्रधानमंत्री के तौर पर अमेरिका की यात्रा पर थे। एक प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस के दौरान, एक विदेशी पत्रकार ने बड़े व्यंग्य भरे अंदाज में डॉ. सिंह से पूछा "प्रधानमंत्री जी, आप इतने शांत क्यों रहते हैं? क्या आपकी कोई महत्वाकांक्षा नहीं है?"
वो दौर भारत के लिए बहुत अहम था। एक तरफ भारत-अमेरिका परमाणु समझौते पर काम चल रहा था, तो दूसरी तरफ अंतरराष्ट्रीय मीडिया की नजरें भारत पर जमी थीं।

जब विदेशी पत्रकार ने बड़े व्यंग्य भरे अंदाज में डॉ. सिंह से पूछा उस समय पूरे हॉल में सन्नाटा था। सब यह देख रहे थे कि प्रधानमंत्री क्या जवाब देंगे। डॉ. सिंह ने कोई गुस्सा नहीं किया, कोई आक्रामक भाषण नहीं दिया। उन्होंने बस एक हल्की सी मुस्कान के साथ बहुत सादी भाषा में कहा:
"देखिए, मैं एक अर्थशास्त्री हूँ। और अर्थशास्त्री यह अच्छी तरह समझते हैं कि शोर मचाने से बाजार या नीतियां नहीं सुधरतीं। काम तो ठोस नीतियों से होता है। शोर मचाने के लिए तो वैसे भी बहुत लोग हैं।"

उनके इस जवाब ने वहां बैठे दिग्गजों को चुप करा दिया। अगले दिन अखबारों की हेडलाइन बनी— "The Quiet Diplomat" (शांत कूटनीतिज्ञ)।

डॉ. सिंह का वह कार्यकाल जिसमें उन्होंने करोड़ों रुपये खर्च करके अपनी छवि नहीं चमकाई, झूठे वादे नहीं किये, हर समस्या के लिए विपक्षी पार्टी को जिम्मेदार नहीं ठहराया, आज भी आर्थिक सुधारों के लिए याद किया जाता है।

India recorded 5,737 dowry deaths in 2024, nearly 16 women dying every day, or one death roughly every 90 minutes due to dowry-related harassment, domestic abuse, suicide, or other suspicious marital deaths, according to the latest National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report.

After becoming president, I asked my bodyguards to take a walk with me through the city. After the walk, we went to a restaurant for lunch. We sat down in one of the central restaurants, and each of us was asked what we wanted to order.

After a short wait, the waiter brought our meals, and at that moment I noticed a man sitting alone at the table directly in front of us, waiting to be served. Once he received his food, I told one of my soldiers:

“Go invite that man to join us.”

The soldier walked over and delivered my invitation. The man stood up, picked up his plate, and sat beside me.

Throughout the meal, his hands trembled constantly, and he never raised his eyes from his food. When we finished eating, he waved goodbye without even looking at me. I shook his hand, and he left.

One of the soldiers said to me:

“Madiba, that man must be very sick. His hands wouldn’t stop shaking while he was eating.”

“Not at all,” I replied. “The reason for his trembling is something else.”

They looked at me in confusion, and I explained:

“That man was a prison guard at the jail where I was imprisoned. After the torture sessions I endured, I would often scream and beg for water. He would come to humiliate me — he laughed at me, and instead of giving me water, he urinated on my head.

He was not sick. He was terrified and shaking, perhaps afraid that now, as President of South Africa, I would send him to prison and do to him what he once did to me — torture and humiliate him.

But that is not who I am. Such behavior is not part of my character or my ethics. Minds that seek revenge destroy nations, while those that seek reconciliation build them.”

Many people know Sharib Hashmi as JK from The Family Man — the loyal friend always standing beside Srikant. ❤️

But off screen, the person who has stood beside Sharib through every chapter of life is his wife, Nasreen Hashmi.

For nearly three decades, Nasreen has been his constant strength.

A four-time cancer survivor, she supported Sharib through some of the hardest phases of his journey — including the time he left a secure job to pursue acting, despite uncertainty and financial struggles.

When success was still far away, she stayed beside him with belief and patience.

And then life tested them again.

Nasreen was diagnosed with oral cancer.

This time, Sharib became her pillar — standing beside her through treatments, fear, and recovery, just as she had stood beside him for years.

Their story is not about fame or glamour.
It is about partnership in its purest form.

Through illness, struggle, dreams, and uncertainty… they chose each other every single time.

Even today, despite national recognition and success, Sharib often looks toward Nasreen during his hardest moments.

Because sometimes the strongest love stories are not loud.
They are quietly built through loyalty, resilience, and never letting go when life becomes difficult. ❤️

@ssmumbai @moneycontrolcom A subtle yet beautiful reassuring piece on how the business of living can appear to be meaningful when engaging oneself with the ritualistic act of gardening. Regardless of outcome, the mere presence & persistent engagement with a living entity nearby, can be truly fulfilling 💕

"A well-educated and professionally qualified woman cannot be expected to be confined within the rigid boundaries of matrimonial obligations alone.

Marriage does not eclipse her individuality, nor does it subjugate her identity under that of her spouse. It is for both the husband and the wife to balance their marital ties in a manner that respects mutual aspirations, and not for one to unilaterally dictate the life choices of the other.

A woman can no longer be treated as a mere appendage to the household of the husband, and her independent intellectual and professional identity and aspirations must receive due credence and respect." - #SupremeCourt

A dentist who chose purpose over comfort.

After witnessing the harsh reality of waste pickers, Dr. Shanthi Tummala left her practice to fix Bengaluru’s garbage crisis.

Despite criticism, she transformed civic habits, helping 1 lakh+ citizens adopt segregation—earning praise from Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw.

Her mantra: “My waste, my responsibility.”

Now tell us—do you segregate your waste at home?
