When I saw the photo, I couldn't resist tweeting. It touched the core of my heart somewhere. The picture features two very fine officers, professionals and human beings par excellence: Gen Rajesh Pushkar and Brig Kadyan. However, the most special element in this picture is the table in the office of the 2 Corps Commander which is Gen Pushkar himself at Ambala, which is a replica of a tank. Both officers are tank men, from the Cavalry Armoured Corps. The most remarkable feature of the table is a number written in black in the centre. Although I am not entirely certain, this number likely represents the tank assigned to Gen Pushkar when he was commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant. Ladies and gentlemen, one must understand how the army functions: when you become an officer and join your unit, there is no fancy car, office, or peon waiting for you. What awaits you is your troop, which is nothing but a body of soldiers with three tanks and smaller fighting units in tank warfare. As an officer, you are given command of a tank, for which you are responsible for its maintenance and upkeep. You keep records of various maintenance activities, running, oil changes, etc. The point is, you are supposed to master your tank and know it inside out—that's the army way of life. The general, who is a corps commander and a significant figure, still keeps this tank number to remind himself and the troops he commands that his priorities lie in the fundamentals of soldiering, and he expects the same from his troops. That's where the adage came from, a picture is worth a thousand words.

A week ago, she couldn't afford her hotel room. A sports drink company were kind enough to pay her hotel bill.
Today, Maja Chwalińska is playing the French Open final.
Ranked 114 in the world, she had to qualify just to enter the tournament.
Nine wins later, she has earned more prize money than in her entire life career, with a minimum of $1.6 million.
A reminder that sometimes life can change in just one week.
Nepal PM's 'encroachment' remark sparks a fresh row.

Rahul Gandhi has fought a tougher battle than even Mahatma Gandhi & Jawaharlal Nehru. Bapu & Nehru battled colonial rulers. Rahul faces a far more insidious enemy — Godi media, captured institutions, judiciary delays, relentless fake news, propaganda & character assassination. Respect for his resilience! #RahulGandhi

@chauhan_shokin Fabulously written.
Vividly described with memorable imagery capturing the essence of Nepal, the old stone house and the mountains.
You've brought alive KK Rai , the credo he lived by and his indomitable spirit for future generations to treasure.

India is reaching a point where if you try to talk sense, people will abuse you, threaten you and virtually lynch you in the streets.
And that is one of the greatest achievements of Ruling party.
They didn't just destroy institutions. They destroyed minds.
