35 people, including 6 kids, are dead till now in a stampede at actor Joseph Vijay's rally.
Going into a crowd just because your favorite celebrity or neta is coming is foolish, especially when it's common knowledge that all rules are flouted while organizing such events. The celebrity wants to show strength by flexing the size of the crowd, so safety becomes secondary.
And what's the point? First, you won’t actually meet them; at best, you’ll catch a half-second glimpse from 50 feet away while being shoved around like cattle. Second, the celebrity doesn’t know you, won’t remember you, and definitely won’t thank you for the bruises you got trying to see them.
And if something goes wrong, if you get hurt or even die, it won’t affect the celebrity at all. Neither legally nor morally. They’ll get into their car, fly to their next event, and not even know your name. The only people who’ll suffer are your parents, spouse, kids, or friends who’ll be left to deal with the loss.
No selfie or glimpse is worth your life.
Imagine the poorest person you've ever seen. This is the story of a family that lives that reality every single day.
Rekharam Siyag from Balotra, Rajasthan, washes dishes at wedding functions and does seasonal farming to survive. His family lives in a small thatched hut, with barely any basic amenities.
His son, Shravan, was a brilliant student who scored 97% in Class 10. But poverty forced him to take up daily-wage labor soon after.
That could’ve been the end of Shravan’s academic journey, but it wasn’t. His teachers believed in him and connected him with an NGO that supports talented underprivileged students. The NGO sponsoring his education from Class 11 onward, including tuition and NEET coaching.
A few days ago, the NEET results were declared. Shravan cleared it with an AIR of 9754 and an OBC category rank of 4071.
Shravan’s journey is a butterfly effect in motion. One teacher’s support, one NGO’s help, and his own grit set off a chain that turned poverty into purpose.
Last night, Pakistani launched missile and drone attacks on multiple Indian cities, including Awantipura, Srinagar, Jammu, Pathankot, Amritsar, Kapurthala, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Bhatinda, Chandigarh, and Bhuj.
Imagine an attack on this scale, yet our common citizens didn’t even realise it happened. Why? Because unlike Pakistan, we have a functional defence system that shot down everything they launched. And today, we retaliated, with precision. They couldn’t intercept a thing.
We don’t appreciate and thank our Armed Forces’ capabilities enough!
