It is a serious thing
Just to be alive
On this fresh morning
In the broken world
—Mary Oliver
Trying to be less serious.

@soulonatraipse Hugs. Prayers for strength. Did that in 2012. Still wonder if something better could have been done. Thought remain.

In 2002, an IIT Kanpur civil engineer working as an IES officer wrote to Prime Minister Vajpayee, exposing corruption in the $10 billion Golden Quadrilateral Corridor - India's biggest highway project.

Designed to construct 14,000 km of 4-lane expressways connecting Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata, it stands as the modern bedrock of Indian infrastructure.

He left his letter to the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) unsigned. Knowing the deadly stakes, Dubey attached his credentials on a separate sheet with an explicit instruction:

"Before moving the file, please remove the attachment containing my particulars to ensure secrecy."

But the PMO did not redact that information. It forwarded his complaint down the ministry chain with his identity attached. His name reached the very people he had exposed.

One year later, on his 31st birthday, Satyendra Dubey was shot dead outside Gaya railway station by the mafia.

They called it armed robbery. His family never believed it. The men who ran the murder racket were never touched, even after a CBI probe.

His death led to the Whistleblowers Protection Act in 2014. It was never brought into force, and it still doesn't protect a whistleblower's identity to this day.

His father, a poor sugar mill clerk with 7 kids, spent his entire life’s savings to raise an honest son who went to
@IITKanpur and then joined the IES to serve the nation.

On November 27, 2003, instead of celebrating Satyendra’s 31st birthday, that old man received his son’s bullet-riddled body in a wooden box, forced to weep over the casket of a hero he spent a lifetime raising for a country that wasn't brave enough to keep him alive.

Asaf Rejuwan, one of the Israeli survivors of flight 1073 wrote on Facebook:

״I don't usually post on social media, but today I felt something burning deep inside me that I simply had to share.

Ever since the incident where the terrorist's attempt to hijack the Flydubai flight was thwarted, there has been a lot of coverage in the media, and I’ve been asked many times what factors I believe prevented the terrible disaster that could have befallen our people had that despicable terrorist succeeded in his plans.

Today, I think I received a very special and interesting answer to that question. Naturally, after the incident ended and we landed safely on the Land of Israel, I felt the need to thank many people... the passengers who cooperated, my lioness of a wife and all the mothers and fathers who protected their loved ones, the children who stayed composed, and every Israeli passenger on that plane.

Yesterday, I was part of a group of passengers interviewed for an international channel. As each passenger went into detail about how they experienced the flight, we realized something very important- something you only understand when the dust settles and you get into the small details during intimate conversations among yourselves.

We realized that every single passenger on that flight had a role, every passenger on the flight had a role.

One passenger was responsible for communicating with Israel's security services

I discovered there was a passenger on board who provided a mobile hotspot and made sure to share it with others

Another female passenger sat and recited Psalms

A passenger made sure to pass along headphone cords to tie up the terrorist

Passengers kept track of where we were going to land using GPS maps

An Australian passenger was the only one on the plane who could make calls back to Israel from an enemy country (Saudi Arabia)

And the list goes on... And, of course, the amazing Yaniv, the wonderful Tzvika and Tali, the hero Shota, the great man Or, and many other great friends who lent a hand.

I had no doubt that after such a great miracle, I would be attending synagogue on Saturday morning to recite the Birkat HaGomel (the prayer of thanking the God of Israel after a lifesaving miracle)

I am not a religious person. I believe in God in my own way, and I don't usually look for signs in everything. But today, something happened that completely astonished me. Completely by chance, today in the synagogue I read from Parashat Devarim (Deuteronomy 33:26):

"There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides the heavens to help you, and in His majesty rides the skies."

אֵין כָּאֵל יְשֻׁרוּן רֹכֵב שָׁמַיִם בְּעֶזְרֶךָ וּבְגַאֲוָתוֹ שְׁחָקִים

I read the verse, stopped, and got goosebumps, and so did all the other worshippers who knew the story and understood why I was there with them.

After everything that happened on that flight, after the fear, after the storming of the terrorist, and after realizing how thin the line between life and death really was- finding myself facing those exact words, "rides the heavens to help you," was a moment I can hardly explain.

I don't know if it was divine providence, a coincidence, or simply a moment that took on a profoundly deep meaning for me. But today, in the synagogue, as I recited Birkat HaGomel, I felt mainly one thing:

Thank you. Thank you for life. Thank you for the miracle. And thank you for the privilege to stand here and tell the story.

Am Yisrael Chai 🇮🇱״

There’s an old saying: “A new broom sweeps clean, but an old broom knows the corners.”

Meaning: Youth brings energy, fresh ideas and enthusiasm. Experience brings judgement, context and the wisdom to see what others miss. Both have their own value.

A terrible and tragic flash flood has taken place at Gyirong in Tibet - China, and one of our Kailash groups was caught in it. While on their way back, they were at the immigration office when the flood occurred and the building and much of the town seems to have been flooded.

All of us, including the volunteers and support teams are deeply anguished and are doing our utmost to assist in the rescue. There has been no official information on the whereabouts of any of the people who were at the immigration office. We are working with the authorities to see if we can get to the location and stand ready to be part of the rescue efforts, regardless of the risk involved.

Of the 21 groups who are part of our Sojourn, 495 people have already returned safely. 743 people are currently in Tibet, 148 people are in Nepal, and 77 people were at the immigration center, and 3 volunteers in Timure, Nepal.

To the families and loved ones of those in our group and hundreds of others who are affected in the region, I share your pain and we are sparing no effort during this profoundly difficult time. I am personally in the region to ensure the best can be done in the given circumstances 🙏🏽- Sg
