IF YOUR TODDLER KEEPS ASKING YOU TO "COME PLAY WITH ME" EVEN WHEN THEY'RE PLAYING FINE ON THEIR OWN..I NEED YOU TO KNOW WHAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY ASKING FOR.
Because it's not just the play.
A generation of Indians learnt about Indian history and culture not from school but from Amar Chitra Katha.
Who started Amar Chitra Katha?
It was Anant Pai.
Today is his birth anniversary.
Anant Pai or affectionately Uncle Pai was born in Karkala (Karnataka) on 17th Sept 1929
Once, while watching a quiz program, he noticed that kids were not able to answer the Q. "Who was Rama's mother?"
That inspired him to start Amar Chitra Katha. ACK taught many of us Puranas, history, and culture.
He lost both his parents at the age of two and was brought up by his grandparents. He has also written and produced a video film, -Ekam Sat (the Vedic Concept of God), in both English and Hindi.

#TelanganaVimochanaDinotsavam my family participated in the Telangana rebellion and I heard so many stories about the mercenary army of the Nizam (Razakars). Another Bengal style genocide was averted due to the bravery and quick action of our ancestors. Here is my father-in-law with his army that fought the Razakars.
like the first rain stirring up memories. Like a friend dropping in unannounced. Like everything good in life getting together in one moment. When you know what divinity is. And that it was always within you.
Happy birthday MS.

— The 2am texts you write and delete out of shame
— The terror that if you stop reaching, they'll simply forget you exist
— The feeling that you're getting smaller, quieter, more invisible — every single week
5. Every day you stay in this cycle, you're sending one message:
"I'll take crumbs. I don't need to be chosen. Just don't make me leave."
That's not love.
That's you slowly disappearing for someone who never asked you to stay in the first place.
I spent 9 years loving someone avoidant. 4/5
@Cr7Godbrand Women were far better at hunting than men. It’s when agriculture started becoming normal, men started working on fields and women were working at home
Find the person who makes repair feel possible.
Conflict will happen, but the right relationship won’t turn every rupture into a threat of abandonment.
Capacity lets someone sit with conflict without assuming the worst or turning it into the worst. It's the trait that makes relationships work. 5/5
