This New Year, don’t just upgrade your phone. Upgrade your heart. Be kinder, listen better, love louder. The world needs softer humans with stronger values. I would love to hear your thoughts on the upcoming new year and what promises it holds for you. Happy New Year ✨
My sincere thanks to Hon’ble Chief Minister Mr.Revanth Reddy for the gracious invitation to Prachi and me, and for his inspiring leadership in driving the Telangana Rising 2047 vision. The ambition behind the Bharat Future City truly stands out as a transformative step forward🫡
Gratitude is funny — the moment you start noticing small blessings, life starts sending bigger ones. Like it’s been waiting for you to look up. ‘Count your blessings’ is the path to feeling warm and happiness 🥰🥳.

Resilience is not about being strong. It’s about not giving up on the parts of you that feel weak. It hits different when you realise: you’ve survived every version of ‘I can’t do this’ so far. ‘Life Goes On’ with a BIG SMILE 😀

Traffic jams aren’t always about cars — sometimes they’re about ego. One person refuses to give way, and the whole city pays. Civic sense isn’t taught; it’s absorbed. Sadly, many of us grew up seeing rules as suggestions.

India doesn’t need louder speeches on inclusion. It needs quieter, everyday proof — footpaths, ramps, lifts that work, buses & trains that welcome, cities that don’t say "adjust kar lo" or turn a blind eye. ♿️🙏#BeMoreEmpathetic#ShowThatYouCare#AccessibleIndia
Resilience isn’t loud — it’s the quiet choice to rise again, even when no one’s watching. Every setback becomes a seed. Water it with patience, light it with courage… and watch yourself bloom again. 🌅♿️
30 Days of Reading
Day 29
Each recommendation in 30 days of Reading is valuable beyond the book it speaks about.
They are all motivational because of the story that goes behind the story that got published.
When an author tells you what they love to read or what they wrote, they tell you the person they are, the beliefs they grew up with,the challenges that shaped them into the person they are and what their vision for society is.
Today's commendation comes from an extraordinary man. He has a story that is impossible to miss.
Indore based Vikram Agnihotri has written a moving book called 'Look Ma, No hands'. The book is autobiographical.
Following an electrical accident when he was merely 7 years old, both of Vikram's arms had to be amputated.
His story tells us how he did not let his challenges define him, did not let this life altering accident deter him from manifesting each one of his goals and dreams. Today, he is a popular children's author, the first Indian bilateral amputee to be issued a driving licence and to drive a race car.
He is a recipient of the National Gaurav Award 2017, National Excellence Award 2017, Batra’s People’s Choice Award 2018, the Malwa Ratna Award 2019, Rotary Institute Dare 2 Dream Award 2019, AIM Foundation Shourya Award 2020 and several others.
A camera-shy man, Vikram agreed to do the video for Literaria but remained nervous throughout. After our cameras stopped rolling, with childlike innocence he asked - "Theek se ho gaya?" ("Did I do okay?")
You did wonderful, Vikram. You did inspirational, and not just in the video, but in being you and telling the story that you have lived.
Literaria thanks you for stepping out of your comfort zone to be part of 30 Days of Reading and for sharing your lovely book with us.

@fpjindia@anandmahindra@AsianGamesOCA Here’s an interesting proposition, Sheeta Devi could teach me archery and I can teach her to drive and get the coveted driving licence!!!!
