The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

I travelled through Great Nicobar today.

These are the most extraordinary forests I have ever seen in my life. Trees older than memory. Forests that took generations to grow.

The people on this island are equally beautiful - both the adivasi communities and the settlers - but they are being robbed of what is rightfully theirs.

The government calls what it is doing here a “Project.” What I have seen is not a project. It is millions of trees marked for the axe. It is 160 square kilometres of rainforest condemned to die. It is communities that have been ignored while their homes have been snatched away.

This is not development. This is destruction dressed in development’s language.

So I will say it plainly, and I will keep saying it: what is being done in Great Nicobar is one of the biggest scams and gravest crimes against this country’s natural and tribal heritage in our lifetime.

It must be stopped. And it can be stopped - if Indians choose to see what I have seen.

[Congress @INCIndia]

Last night, I was sleeping on a small sofa in my mother’s room at the hospital, and like any son, I was extremely worried about her health.

The whole night, I was comforted by only one thing. I was comforted by a nurse from Keralam who came in every hour to check on my mother. Every single hour, she would come and check on her. She would smile, and she would hold her hand. I found myself thinking about how many sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters have been comforted in their most difficult moments by nurses from Keralam.

Early in the morning, I asked her, “Do you sleep at night, or do you work the whole night?” And she said, “I work all night.” So, while the whole world sleeps, women from Keralam, not only in Keralam but also in Delhi, across the country, and around the world, are comforting people, holding their hands, and making them feel at ease.

For me, this is the spirit of the state of Keralam.

Meet Aloka, the peace #dog from #India, who is winning hearts in the US during “Walk for Peace”

Estimated to be about four years old, Aloka is believed to be an Indian Pariah #dog. He began his life as a #straydog in India, but during a previous peace walk, he simply started following the monks — and never stopped. Through heat, rain, illness, and injury, he chose the road. Over time, that loyalty earned him a permanent place in the group.

Now, #Aloka is walking thousands of miles across the United States, serving as both mascot and morale booster. He has developed a devoted online following, with daily photos showing him mid-stretch, calmly waiting for the next step, or confidently leading the pack at sunrise. Some days he looks like a professional model. Other days, he looks like a tired traveler who has absolutely earned his nap.

Indies(our #streetdogs) are becoming extremely famous in other countries for their loyalty, whereas in India, it’s unfortunate that the whole system is hell bent in spreading hate and getting rid of them.

[Tata Trusts @tatatrusts]

Remembering our late Chairman, Mr. Ratan N. Tata, who believed true philanthropy is never personal, and leadership is a responsibility to turn influence into positive change.

Under his guidance, philanthropy evolved from charity to a strategic, results-driven approach, addressing healthcare, education, livelihood, women-empowerment, and more—with a focus on long-term transformation and community resilience. His vision recognised that meaningful progress requires more than addressing socio-economic gaps alone. It calls for collaboration between innovation, supportive technology, and a deep understanding of local needs, ensuring that solutions are thoughtful, scalable, and reach those who need them the most.

As we commemorate him today, the values he stood for continue to guide and shape our collective purpose.

Rose Valland spent nearly four years in a museum office surrounded by German officers who assumed she was harmless, mute, and culturally insignificant. They spoke freely, issued commands, documented plunder, and discussed train routes for stolen masterpieces. They believed she understood none of it. What they didn’t realize was that Valland was quietly fluent in German and meticulous beyond measure. She wrote down everything—artist names, crate numbers, departure dates, warehouse locations—and copied coded catalog lists late at night when no one was watching. She memorized routes when she couldn’t risk paper, then passed information to Resistance contacts who safeguarded each detail as if it were a life.

When Paris was liberated and Nazi art caches were uncovered, her secret notebooks became maps. Because she had listened when listening was dangerous, Rembrandts, Picassos, tapestries, altarpieces, and Jewish family portraits were traced back to owners who had been murdered, displaced, or silenced. Her quiet defiance challenged the myth that espionage belongs to those with guns and uniforms. Valland’s weapon was observation; her battlefield was a gallery desk. She didn’t recover art for glory, but to repair a world torn from families and memory—one shipment, one signature, one whispered detail at a time.

St.Bernard dogs are Catholic. And they were bred by monks!

The big fluffy dog with the barrel around its neck was bred for holy rescue missions.
​
These dogs were bred by the Augustinian Canons of the Great St. Bernard Hospice, a monastery located in the dangerous, snowy pass between Switzerland and Italy.

The monks trained the dogs to find lost travelers buried in avalanches. The famous barrel (though perhaps legendary) was said to contain brandy to warm the victim. They saved over 2,000 lives.

In the Dubai crash, Wg Cdr Namansh Syal had barely 2 seconds when Tejas dropped into a deadly descent.

Yet look at what he did —
• levelled the wings,
• pulled the nose away from the viewing area,
• fought the sink rate till the last heartbeat,
• tried to drag the jet clear of people on the ground.

These aren’t reflexes.
They’re instinct, training… and raw courage.

India didn’t just lose a pilot —
we gained a hero. 🇮🇳✈️

Nehru’s writings are not just history, they are a record of India’s evolving conscience.

For anyone seeking to understand our nation’s democratic journey - its courage, its doubts, its dreams - his words remain a powerful compass.

Woohoo .. both Apapang and Alang have successfully crossed over, while Ahu is just about to reach...three Amurs, one breathtaking migration and a million people watching in awe ..@sureshwii #AmurFalconMigration

[Supriya Sahu IAS @supriyasahuias]

Here is an update - All three satellite-tagged Amur Falcons Apapang (male), Alang (young female) and Ahu (female) are now undertaking their daring Arabian Sea crossing. Apapang has already flown nonstop for 76 hours, covering 3100 km at an average of 1000 km per day, aided by strong easterly tailwinds. From here, the journey becomes even more extraordinary as they head towards Somalia on their epic 3000 km oceanic flight @sureshwii @wii_india #Amurfalcons

How Many RT’s Can Today’s Animal Welfare Hero Get? ❤️

Anthony Caere, is an anti- poaching pilot in Virunga National Park.

This is him taking Mussa, orphaned due to poaching, to the safety and care of the Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Centre.

To ensure that Mussa felt safe, he let her move about the cockpit freely.

Anthony, you are a HERO. 🙏

[Anti Christian Tracker Watch - ACT India ✝️ @ACTWatchIndia]

They insulted @JemiRodrigues' faith.
They tried to break her spirit.
They got her #KharGymkhana membership revoked on fake “conversion” charges against her Dad.

Yet she stood tall, broke barriers, and brought glory to India — giving Jesus the credit, not hate. 🇮🇳✝️❤️

She is Jemimah Rodrigues, a 25 year old Indian cricketer.

She was born into a Christian family in Mumbai.

At the age of four, she started playing cricket.

Little did she know that she would one day become a victim of right-wing politics.

A few months ago, her Khar Gymkhana Club membership was revoked after allegations by right-wing karyakartas that her father held religious conversion meetings at gymkhana

This moment broke her completely, she went into depression, she decided to quit cricket, but her friends insisted she take therapy and continue playing.

She did.

And today, she has played one of the greatest innings in Indian cricket history.

India has reached the World Cup finals because of a Christian player Jemimah Rodrigues.

The entire right wing is unhappy with her performance, but Indians are proud and overjoyed.

Her story teaches us one thing: never stop working hard, and when the time comes, silence your haters with your success.

Well done jemimah

Yes, he was a man who left gigantic footprints on the ad industry…

But what I will remember most is not the campaigns he crafted or the brands he built, but his hearty laugh and his irrepressible zest for life.
He reminded us that even in the serious business of persuasion, joy and humanity must never be forgotten.
