He fell. He got hurt. He wiped his tears and told everyone, “Nothing happened.” ❤️
But the moment he reached his mother, the brave little heart finally gave in. He showed her his wound and cried—not because he was weak, but because he knew he was safe.
And after all those tears, he looked at her and said with the innocence only a child can have:
“Maa, main bilkul roya nahi.” 🥹❤️
The world may get his courage.
His mother gets the tears he hides from everyone.
Some bonds don't need words. A mother’s lap is where even the bravest hearts come home. 🫶
Remembering Dr. Manmohan Singh ji on his birth anniversary.
He was the economist finance minister who opened India to the world, help lay the foundations for a new India, and the Prime Minister who made work, food, education and information our rights.
During his tenure as PM, we could achieve our dream of a separate statehood for #Telangana
Dr Manmohan Singh ji served the nation when it needed him the most. From chief economic adviser, Governor of RBI, to Finance Minister and then finally, Prime Minister of India, he is an architect of Modern India.
Today, at Wipro Circle in the heart of Hyderabad's IT corridor, I will be unveiling a statue of Dr. Manmohan Singh ji. The growth around it began with his 1991 reforms. A grateful state honours a humble, visionary son of India. 🙏

When elephants sleep, they reveal a side of their lives that we rarely get to see ! Here, a herd of wild elephants is sleeping peacefully on an island of tall grass in Assam. Elephants can rest and doze while standing, remaining ready to move at the first sign of danger. But lying down is different. It allows the body to relax fully and is associated with deeper, restorative sleep, including REM sleep, the stage linked with dreaming. A landmark study of two free-ranging African elephant matriarchs found that they slept for only about two hours a day. They sometimes remained awake for nearly two days and lay down to sleep only once every three or four nights.
Sleep patterns vary between individuals, ages, species and environments, and much remains to be understood about sleep among wild Asian elephants. But researchers know that elephants are more likely to lie down when they feel comfortable and secure.
That is what makes this sight so beautiful. A herd lying asleep together shows they have allowed their vigilance to trust the landscape around them.

⦿ It’s a tragedy that a young man has been murdered, and also a tragedy that he was attacked because of where he was from.
⦿ It’s a tragedy for the people of Manipur, as they have been facing these issues over the last few years.
⦿ It has become a fashion these days that if you are powerful, you can be violent, arrogant and do whatever you feel like.
⦿ In politics and in life, symbols are very important. He’s a symbol of a life that was well lived, a symbol of love and affection. A talented person, a gentle person, a father and a son.
⦿ We are extremely proud of him. We expect justice. We will get justice, and we will not be cowed down or scared of violence.

The wild elephant in Assam’s Golaghat district is finally free from the heavy tractor tyre trapped around its neck. After hours of painstaking effort, the frontline team of the Assam Forest Department successfully removed it. What a relief, but the incident also soptlights how discarded waste and abandoned items in and around forest areas can turn deadly for wildlife 🫡
Kudos to the rescuers ! #elephants
