Empaths are choosing themselves now. They're setting boundaries, protecting their peace, and no longer feeling guilty for putting their own needs first. The old version of them is gone. The game has changed.

Terrorists attacked an army camp in Jammu while an officer's wife and 3 year old daughter were asleep inside. He went out to fight them. For almost ten hours his wife did not know he was already dead.

His name was Major Akshay Girish, an army officer from Bengaluru and the son of a retired Wing Commander.

In 2009 he proposed to Sangeeta on one knee with a red pen drive because he had forgotten the ring. They married and had a daughter, Naina. Sangeeta chose to move with him from posting to posting instead of staying back in Bengaluru.

In 2016 they were living inside the army camp at Nagrota.

On 29 November 2016, at 5.30 am, Sangeeta woke up to gunshots. She thought it was training.

At 5.45 a junior officer told Akshay that terrorists had attacked the artillery regiment. Akshay left with the quick response team.

At 8.09 am he texted the family group that he was in the firefight.

The women and children were moved to a safer place. At 11.30 Sangeeta called him. His team said he had gone to a different location.

At 6.15 pm his commanding officer told her that Akshay had been killed around 8.30 that morning.

He was 31. Naina was 3. Seven soldiers died at Nagrota that day.

Sangeeta later told Naina that her papa is a star in the sky. She still wears his regimental jacket when she misses him.

His family believed he had been recommended for the Shaurya Chakra. On 15 August 2017 his name came on the list under Mention in Dispatches. His mother Meghna asked for a review and said an unsung hero is better than an insulted hero.

Sangeeta wrote their whole story on Facebook, and the post went viral.

The last thing Akshay had said to her that morning was "You must write about this."

पड़े हैं। जब उसने सबसे ऊपर का सातवां कोठा खोला तो देखा कि शिवजी, पार्वती माता, गणेशजी, लक्ष्मी माताजी, पीपल पथवारी, कार्तिक के ठाकुर, राई दामोदर, तुलसीजी का बिड़वा, गंगा-यमुना और 33 कोटी देवी देवता विराजमान है। वहीं पर एक लड़का चंदन की चौकी पर बैठा माला जप रहा है।

यह सब देखकर उसने लड़के से पूछा कि तुम कौन हो? तब लड़का बोला कि मैं तेरा पति हूं अभी दरवाजा बंद कर दे। जब मेरे माता-पिता आएंगे तब दरवाजा खोलना। यह सब देखकर बहू बहुत खुश हुई और सोलह श्रृंगारकर सुंदर वस्त्र पहनकर अपने सास-ससुर का इंतजार करने लगी। उसने अपने सास-ससुर के लिए अच्छे-अच्छे पकवान बनाए।

जब उसके सास-ससुर घर पर आए तो उसने उनका आदर सत्कार किया और प्रेमपूर्वक खाना खिलाया और हाथ-पैर दबाने लगी पैर दबाते दबाते बहू ने कहा कि मां आप इतनी दूर गंगा-यमुना स्नान करने के लिए जाती हो तो आप थक जाती हो इसलिए आप घर पर ही स्नान क्यों नहीं करती हो। यह सुनकर सास कहने लगी कि बेटी गंगा-यमुना घर पर तो नहीं बहती है। तब उसने कहा हां मां जी बहती है चलो मैं आपको दिखाती हूं।

जब बहू ने सातवां कोठा खोलकर दिखाया तो उसमें शिवजी, पार्वतीजी, गणेशजी, लक्ष्मीजी, पीपल पथवारी, कार्तिक के ठाकुर, राई दामोदर, तुलसीजी का बिड़वा, गंगा यमुना बह रही है और 33 कोटी देवी देवता विराजमान है। वही चौकी पर बैठा एक लड़का माला जप रहा है। मां ने उसे देखकर कहा कि बेटा तू कौन है? लड़का बोला– मां मैं तेरा बेटा हूं। तब ब्राह्मणी ने पूछा कि तू कहां से आया है?

लड़के ने जवाब दिया कि मुझे कार्तिकदे ने भेजा है। मां ने कहा- बेटा यह संसार कैसे मानेगा कि तू मेरा बेटा है। मां ने कुछ विद्वान पंडितों से मदद मांगी। पंडितों ने कहा- इस पार बहू-बेटा खड़े हो जाएं और उस पार मां खड़ी हो जाए। मां ने चमड़े की अंगिया पहनी हो और छाती में से दूध की धार निकलकर बेटे की दाढ़ी-मूछ भीगे और पवन पानी से गठजोड़ा बंधे तब मानेंगे कि यह इस मां का ही बेटा है।

उसने ऐसा ही किया चमड़े की अंगिया फट गई और छाती में से दूध की धार निकलकर बेटे की दाढ़ी-मूछ भीग गई, पवन पानी से बहू बेटे का गठजोड़ बंध गया। यह सब देखकर ब्राह्मण और उसकी पत्नी की खुशी का ठिकाना ना रहा।

तो यह थी कार्तिक मास की कथा। हे कार्तिक के ठाकुर, जैसे ब्राह्मण और ब्राह्मणी को बहू-बेटा दिया वैसे सबको देना। कार्तिक मास की कथा कहने, सुनने और हुंकारा भरने वाले सब पर कृपा करना।

Get a DEXA scan done (lumbar spine and hips).
If definitely osteoporosis you have choice of oral weekly meds.
OR my preferred:
Zolendronate annual infusions presuming no contraindications with Vit D levels and Serum calcium level checking and correcting prior.
(NOGG document 2024/2021) and check Gregson et al guidance.
Recheck DEXA every 24 months.
3 one yearly … annual infusions initially.
Kavach also you can do.

We don’t hype Dinkar enough. Read these four stanzas to witness absolute genius! Every word remains undeniably true across time, generations and species.

क्षमा, दया, तप, त्याग, मनोबल, सबका लिया सहारा,
पर नर-व्याघ्र सुयोधन तुमसे, कहो, कहाँ, कब हारा?

(You tried forgiveness, patience, and sacrifice, but did Duryodhana ever back down because of your restraint?)

क्षमाशील हो रिपु-समक्ष, तुम हुये विनत जितना ही,
दुष्ट कौरवों ने तुमको, कायर समझा उतना ही।

(The more humble you were before your enemies, the more they dismissed you as a coward.)

अत्याचार सहन करने का, कुफल यही होता है,
पौरुष का आतंक मनुज, कोमल होकर खोता है।

(When a person becomes excessively soft and passive, they lose the healthy fear or respect that their strength and valor ought to command in others.)

क्षमा शोभती उस भुजंग को, जिसके पास गरल हो,
उसका क्या जो दंतहीन, विषरहित, विनीत, सरल हो।

(Forgiveness is a noble attribute only for a venomous snake that commands fear. What value or dignity is there in the "forgiveness" of a snake that has no teeth, carries no venom, and is inherently harmless and meek?)

Anya Vats shot her ex-colleague Yuvraj Manchanda dead.

She kept his body in her car for 2 days and dumped him in a drain.

Just because he fired her 4 years back because of her financial fraud.

The biker girl getting into an accident has been in the news since last week.

But why is nobody talking about Anya Vats?

Why does our society always think of women as victims?

While men rarely ever get justice.

“Some stories should not be scrolled past. This is one of them.
Col Anurag Upadhyay scored in the 99th percentile in CAT. He could have chosen a corporate career. He chose the Indian Army instead.
He volunteered for the Special Forces, completed probation with 3 PARA (SF), and joined the raising team of 12 PARA (SF). Even after a heart attack in 2008, he returned to active duty.
In August 2025, he suffered a severe posterior circulation stroke. Today, he has Locked-in Syndrome. His body has been severely affected. His mind has not.
He is conscious and aware. He remembers. He thinks. Through eye movements and alphabet-based scanning, he communicates his thoughts. Further complications resulted in bilateral below-knee amputations.
This post is not asking for sympathy. It is asking for possibility.
His family knows what the medical literature says. They are not asking for promises. They believe no credible possibility should remain unexplored because the right expert was outside their network.
They seek connections to:
• Neurologists and neuro-rehabilitation specialists experienced in Locked-in Syndrome
• Rehabilitation centres focused on neurological recovery
• Researchers exploring recovery of movement, speech or other functions
• Research and emerging technologies, including brain-computer interfaces
• Eye-tracking and assistive technology that could give Anurag a more independent voice
• Veteran organisations or individuals who can open the right doors
Someone reading this may know a doctor who has treated a similar patient, a rehabilitation team that has seen a different outcome, a relevant researcher—or someone who can make the right introduction.

His prognosis should be determined by medicine and how his body responds—not by a lack of information, access or connections.
Please make a connection if you can. DM “Tales Of A Gypsy” on Instagram. If you cannot, share this until it reaches someone who can.
No sympathy. Just one question: What more is possible for Col Anurag ?
Let us help him find out”

Do read this thread.

“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade”.

The power of what is being created is unbelievable. Every day I’m left stunned by what AI can do for me. It is too late to put the genie back in the bottle.

However, we HAVE to enforce proper guardrails and safety.

Without proper “alignment”, this could be a race to the end.

Sharing this excerpt from a whatsapp message because it is important 🙏

Gen Z or anyone else who goes for a holiday to J&K, Ladakh, North East etc must know...

It is a *strategically sensitive region* where tourism exists alongside security,

*not the other way around!!*

Military convoys do not roll because some officer woke up that morning and thought,

*“Let us ruin somebody’s holiday...”*

Movements are planned.
Routes are coordinated.
Timings matter.
Logistics matter.

*The mountains are not merely a backdrop for photographs.*

Those mountains have names written into military history.

*SOLDIERS FOUGHT THERE.… MANY OF THEM PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE*

527 soldiers gave their lives capturing the Kargil heights so that you can move there freely.

And all these 527 were also Gen Z*

And soldiers *still serve there*.

Do not stand in front of a soldier and say:

*“I PAY YOUR SALARY.”*

No - the belief that money paid to the Republic somehow places the Republic’s uniform beneath you… is totally wrong.

*IT DOESN’T.*

Paying income tax does not give you command authority over the Armed Forces.

And that certainly does not make national security subordinate to your holiday plans.

You waited few hours.

*Somebody else stood watch for months.*

You missed part of an itinerary.

*Somebody else missed birthdays, anniversaries, children growing up, and home.*

And while you eventually drove away from Kargil,

*HE STAYED.*

So no.

*You do not pay his salary.*

*You pay your taxes.*

*The soldier pays his own taxes and also pays for your security:*

*IN A CURRENCY FAR MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MONEY.*

At 7 he built a website and ended up in the Guinness records as the world's youngest male webmaster.

At 16 he built a satellite in a school in Jammu.

At 19 he raised 4.3 million dollars in Silicon Valley to fix a problem that even NASA has never fully solved.

His name is Onkar Singh Batra.

He was born in Jammu. His father works in information technology, and that is where his interest started.

He wrote a book at 12. He started a company at 13. He received the National Bal Shakti Award from the President of India for building an interactive website during the pandemic.

In 2020, at 14, he became interested in space.

In 2022, while he was in class 12 at a school in Jammu, he built a satellite called InQube. It weighed about 1 kg. It was India's first open source satellite, which means the design was published for anyone to use.

In the same period he was invited to teach space systems to engineering students at IIT Jammu as a guest professor. He had not finished school.

While building InQube, he ran into a problem that runs through the whole space industry.

Satellites in low Earth orbit go dark. For long stretches of every orbit they are not in line of sight of any ground station on Earth, so nobody can talk to them. These are called dead zones.

It sounds small. It is not. A satellite watching a flood or a fire can be holding the picture you need and be unable to send it for the next 40 minutes.

The existing fixes are partial. You can build more ground stations, which is slow and expensive. You can use relay satellites, but most of them need the customer satellite to carry particular hardware, which most older satellites do not have.

In 2024 he founded a company to solve it. It is called Apolink, from apogee and link. It is based in Palo Alto in California.

The plan is a ring of 32 small satellites carrying both lasers and radios, acting as ground stations in space, and working with satellites that were never built for it.

In 2025, at 19, Y Combinator and other investors put 4.3 million dollars into it, at a valuation of 45 million dollars.

In July 2026 the company launched its first demonstration satellite on a SpaceX mission.

He is 20 now.

He wrote about himself on his own website in plain language. Built websites at a somewhat prodigious age. Got awarded by the President of India. Built a satellite at 16. Brought myself to the United States.

A boy from Jammu is building the internet for space, and almost nobody in his own country knows his name.

A month before her passing in 2017, Louise L. Hay wrote something that still resonates deeply:

“I’ll be turning 90 this Saturday. My younger years were filled with fear, but now my days are filled with trust and confidence.

My life didn’t really start to make sense until my mid-40s. At 50, I began writing—on a very small scale. My first year, I earned just \$42. At 55, I ventured into the world of computers, which terrified me, but I took classes and overcame my fears.

Today, I own three computers and travel everywhere with my iPad and iPhone. At 60, I planted my first garden. Around that time, I joined kids’ art classes and started painting. In my 70s and 80s, I became even more creative, and my life just kept getting richer and more fulfilling.

I still write, give talks, and teach by example. I’m always reading, learning, and growing. I run a successful publishing company and two nonprofits. I’m an avid organic gardener and grow most of my own food. I love people and parties, have many loving friends, and have traveled the world. I still paint and take classes. My life has become a treasure trove of experiences.

I want to encourage you to consciously shape your later years and realize that they can be the most rewarding chapter of your life. Your future is always bright, no matter your age. Let these years become your treasure years.

With love,
Louise Hay

A moving sight at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib from yesterday: sewadars standing guard outside while they found refuge inside.

May the Almighty protect all of them.

[Amar Jit Singh IFS(Retd)🇮🇳 @AmarJit_IFS]

With roads around Parliament Street, Connaught Place and Shivaji Stadium choked with protesters, police barricades and tear gas, many sought shelter inside Bangla Sahib gurdwara premises. Sevadars welcomed those fleeing the violence, offering them a safe place to rest while reassuring anxious visitors. As frightened commuters and injured protesters entered the premises, sevadars comforted them, saying, “Don’t worry, we are here. You are safe.” 🙏🏻

#WATCH | Retired Sergeant Lalaram Chaudhary (Retd) says, "...Whenever a soldier or military family is cheated, they come to me for help... For Captain Chunnilal, who has been running from office to office for 8 days, I even arranged a vehicle by taking a loan so that he could travel without worrying about taxi expenses... Today I am here for retired Captain Chunnilal from Himachal Pradesh, whose land has been fraudulently registered by brokers. He has all the original documents, yet no authority bothered to verify them. His land was sold for around Rs 25 lakh, and the money has already been distributed. This is the same man who fought the 1962 and 1971 wars for the country... Today, he is fighting his fourth battle, for his own land.... Is this good governance? Did leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, and Rani Lakshmibai sacrifice their lives to see such an India?... I fold my hands and request those in authority to listen to the problems of our soldiers and take immediate action to deliver justice to this 90-year-old veteran..."
