"The pace of my book acquisitions far exceeded capacity at home and office, forcing me to reluctantly donate many to the nearby library everytime we relocated. Now, my focus is on storing books... in the best possible environment," writes @VRFerose in #FlyLeaf

Many thanks to @VRFerose for a generous gift to rural public libraries of 300 copies of the Oxford School Atlas & 100 copies of Roopa Pai’s book on Cubbon Park. Such a nice gift to our libraries!

Thanks also to @bookworm_Kris for sending the books across!

To stand just two feet away and point a finger while questioning the country’s Prime Minister or Finance Minister, a journalist needs immense courage.
But even more than that, it requires the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister to have deep faith in democracy.

A journalist can show such courage only when they know that the nation’s leadership has unshakable trust in democratic values and institutions.

This faith in democracy was deeply embodied by Manmohan Singh. There is a quiet story often recalled by those who worked closely with him: even at the peak of his power, he would patiently listen to the harshest criticism, rarely interrupting, often taking notes himself. Once, after a particularly aggressive press interaction, an aide asked him why he never responded sharply. He calmly replied, “Democracy is strengthened when power listens more than it speaks.”

Serving the nation five years as Finance Minister and ten years as Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh led with humility, intellect, and restraint. He proved that authority does not need loudness, and strength does not need arrogance. His life remains a gentle reminder that true leadership is rooted in trust—trust in institutions, trust in dialogue, and trust in democracy itself.

“Everything is constantly changing. The only thing that is certain is uncertainty.” 

That’s from @janemariechen’s @TEDTalks where she shares what it was like for her to rebuild after her company failed and she lost her sense of self. 

As Jane says, we can’t control the waves but we can choose how to ride them.
