Hate dishonesty, lies, idiotic attitude. Accept life the way it comes.

India throws away over 7 million tonnes of textile waste every year, not because people don't care but because they don’t know how to dispose of it.

Two engineers saw this gap and built NoKasa, an app where you can book a pickup. An agent comes to your home, grades your clothes on the spot, and sends cashback via UPI immediately.

They've already kept 1 lakh garments out of landfills. Such a good innovation to keep cities clean.

THANK YOU DAVID FOR THE LESSON! 🥹❤️
Life is full of lessons. Last week, on a flight from Goa to Mumbai, I learned one.
In the picture is David.
When David boarded the flight, many people looked at him because he was overweight. He came and sat across the aisle from me. In the middle of the flight, he opened his bag, took out a huge collection of chocolates and sweets, and then walked towards the washroom.
I exchanged a glance with the gentleman sitting next to him and said, “He shouldn’t eat so much sweets and chocolates!” This was said out of concern! The gentleman smiled and replied, “Well, that’s probably why he looks the way he does.”
A little while later, David came back, gathered all the sweets, and handed them over to the cabin crew. 🥹
I was surprised.
So I told him, “I must confess, I thought you were going to eat all those chocolates yourself, and that’s why you were overweight.”
He smiled and said, “ I don’t blame you for thinking like that! I have a medical condition. But I used to work with airlines, and I know what cabin crew members go through every day. So I like to bring them something sweet whenever I travel.”
What an outstanding human being.
And what a lesson for me.
How quickly we judge people. How easily we create stories about them without knowing anything about their lives.😳
Thank you, David, for reminding me that kindness is often hidden behind appearances, and that the best people are sometimes the ones we understand the least.
I asked him for a pic! He obliged!
Thank you for the lesson my friend!❤️ #LifeLessons #Encounters

ये वीडियो जिसने भी बनाया है इसमें बहुत अच्छी तरह से अमीरी और गरीबी को दिखाया गया है।

In broad daylight, a tusker calmly crossed the world’s largest wildlife viaduct, unaware of the traffic moving above. This is the India we aspire to build—where modern infrastructure and wildlife conservation go hand in hand. A powerful vision of #ViksitBharat, where development connects people while keeping nature connected too. 🐘🇮🇳 @wii_india @moefcc @EnvironmentPib @ntca_india @IBCA_official @Unitedfortigers @bhlab_india @rameshpandeyifs @GobindsagarBha1 @SPYadavIFS @vrtiwari1 @NHAI_Official

Her name was Arati Saha.

She was born in 1940 in Calcutta. Her mother died when she was two years old. Her father served in the armed forces and was rarely home, so she was raised by her grandmother in North Kolkata.

At four years old, her uncle took her to Champatala Ghat for a bath. She refused to leave the water.

Her father enrolled her at the Hatkhola Swimming Club, where coach Sachin Nag spotted her talent and took her under his wing.

In July 1952, she stood at the edge of the pool at the Helsinki Summer Olympics. She was 11 years old, the youngest Indian Olympian in history and one of only four women in the entire Indian contingent.

In 1959, she decided to cross the English Channel, 42 miles of freezing, choppy water often called the Mount Everest of swimming.

She was 18 years old and had almost no money. A West Bengal government grant of Rs 11,000 helped fund the attempt.

Her first attempt on August 27 failed. She swam for more than 16 hours and came within five miles of the English coast before a powerful current forced her back.

She did not go home.

On September 29 1959, she entered the water again. She swam for 16 hours and 20 minutes before reaching the English coast, and the first thing she did was hoist the Indian flag.

She was 19 years old. She had become the first Asian woman to cross the English Channel.

In 1960, she became the first Indian sportswoman to receive the Padma Shri.

Arati Saha died in 1994 at the age of 53. Five years later, India issued a postage stamp in her memory.

Most Indians have never heard her name.
