1960s :: Bhagat Singh's Mother Mata Vidyawati Gets Emotional On The Occasion of Installation of Bhagat Singh's Statue In His Ancestral Village Khatkarkalan
I visited the golden temple in Amritsar today.
The place is absolutely stunning but having a chance to see and eat at the biggest community kitchen of the world was insane.
ItтАЩs hard to wrap my head around the fact that everything is free for everyone. No religion, no status, no background needed. Just walk in. Eat. Be welcomed. And most of it runs purely on volunteers.
Standing in that atmosphere, watching millions be fed with zero expectation in returnтАж itтАЩs honestly a very inspiring things to witness.
How is this scale even possible?
"When Dr. Abdul Kalam was the President, he once visited Coonoor. Upon arrival, he learned that Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw Sir was being treated at the military hospital there.
Dr. Kalam went to the hospital to meet Sam Manekshaw Sir. He inquired about Sam's health. Before leaving, Dr. Kalam asked Sam, 'Are you facing any difficulties here? Is there anything I can do to help you feel more comfortable? Do you have any complaints?'
Sam replied, 'Yes... I have one complaint.'
A concerned Dr. Kalam asked in a worried tone, 'What is your complaint?'
Sam said, 'Sir, my complaint is that the most respected President of my beloved country is standing here, but I am unable to salute him.'
Hearing this, Dr. Kalam held Sam's hand... For a moment, tears welled up in both their eyes.
As he was leaving, Manekshaw told the President one thing. He had not received the increased pension for the rank of Field Marshal.
The government had decided that living Field Marshals should receive the full pension equivalent to the Chiefs of Staff, as officers of the rank of Field Marshal never truly retire.
Upon reaching Delhi,Dr. Kalam arranged for the full payment, including all arrears of his pension, within just one week. The Defence Secretary arrived in Wellington, Ooty, by a special flight with a cheque for approximately тВ╣1.30 Crore.
One great man respected the work of another great man.
But... as soon as he received the cheque, Sam Manekshaw donated the entire amount to the Army Relief Fund!!
Now, who will you salute? ? ?
Truly, they were the real heroes of our country ЁЯе▓ЁЯе▓."

When Sachin and Kambli stitched that 664 run partnership which made them overnight stars a certain Amol Mazumdar waited for 2 days with his pads on for his chance. What he didn't know was that this would go on for 2 decades because even after raking up more than 11 thousand first class runs he never got the chance to don the blue jersey. Now he has headed a team that has won a WC. This is straight up a Bollywood level script ....
Champions of the World ЁЯТЩЁЯЗоЁЯЗ│
IтАЩve seen this dream for over two decades, to watch the Indian women lift that World Cup trophy.
Tonight, that dream finally came true.
From the heartbreak of 2005 to the fight of 2017, every tear, every sacrifice, every young girl who picked up a bat believing we belong here, it all led to this moment.
To the new champions of world cricket, you didnтАЩt just win a trophy, you won every heart that ever beat for Indian womenтАЩs cricket. Jai Hind ЁЯЗоЁЯЗ│
