I am at Safdarjung hospital in Delhi where @Wangchuk66 has been admitted. Nothing should be administered to him orally or intravenous without take consent from me, his family and his doctors who have been monitoring his health for the past 20 days.

Varanasi - Banaras - is my father’s home town.
I remember visiting the Vishwanath temple on a number of occasions with my grandfather who went there almost every day.
On a few occasions, I saw this gentleman with a twinkle in his eye who would greet my grandfather with a “Kaise ho, Principal sahab.” (“How are you, Principal sir?”), and also sometimes offer him some poori and aaloo ki sabzi (rasse waali), a speciality of Paranthe Waali Gali, which was in the same region.
My grandfather would nod and smile, introduce me as his grandson to the gentleman. “You must become a teacher too, like your Baba,” the gentleman would tell me, and advise my grandfather to make me read a lot (khoob padhana!) because that is what the country needed.

My grandfather had retired as a school principal and was held in special regard.

Teachers were the rock stars of 1970s India. They were supposed to be the ones who were “making modern India.”

I did teach a little. And I did read a lot.

I wish my grandfather had been around to see me do so. I think the gentleman in the lanes near Vishwanath temple would have approved too.

My grandfather was Sharda Prasad Dubey.

The gentleman was Bismillah Khan.

Don't forget these people raped kids, killed them, ate them and not a single culprit got arrested.

Instead, we are having a war with Iran to liberate its women.

This should haunt everyone. Please don't normalize it. Keep talking about it.

Here is that moment!!

Payal Nag receives her GOLD medal at Bangkok and the national anthem plays.

And right beside her, Sheetal - gracefully helping move her wheelchair.

Two champions. One podium. One unforgettable frame.

Pure inspiration. ❤️

To loud applause, Giorgia Meloni immediately “brushed off” Donald Trump’s threats:
🇮🇹 “Italy will not take part in your war and will not bear the consequences of your reckless adventure!”
🇮🇹 “You are the President of the United States — not Italy, not France, not Germany. Our decisions are sovereign and serve our country, not the White House!”
🇮🇹 “It is your policy that is making the Strait of Hormuz dangerous. We will not confront Iran while trying to restore the security you have destroyed!”
🇮🇹 “Europe will not bear the consequences of wrong decisions. The Italian people refuse to take part in a war that will bring nothing good!”

[Foskaay @SolomonFoskaay]

I dove deep into this heartwarming story of seven stolen dogs that escaped and walked 17km home - here are the key verified facts in concise points:

The Theft:
Seven dogs from the same village in Jilin Province, China were stolen from their owners. They were loaded onto a truck heading to an illegal dog meat shop.

The Escape:
During transport, the dogs jumped or fell from the moving vehicle onto the Changshuang Expressway. Instead of scattering, they stuck together as a tight pack.

The Epic Journey:
Over two days they covered around 17 km across highways and fields. A small corgi led from the front, constantly glancing back and adjusting pace to keep everyone together. Larger dogs formed a protective ring around an injured German Shepherd.

The Rescue:
Locals and rescuers tracked the group in real time via viral social media posts and drone footage until they safely intercepted the entire pack.

Happy Ending:
All seven dogs were reunited with their grateful owners in the same village after vet checks. Only minor injuries despite the fall, traffic, and long trek. These neighbourhood friends already played together daily, which helped them stay united.

This real-life “Homeward Bound” adventure led by one brave little corgi has gone mega-viral for showing incredible loyalty and teamwork.

Dogs really are the best.

Share to spread this wholesome win and celebrate these heroes! 🐕‍🦺❤️

वे कहा करते थे कि शहनाई तो सिर्फ एक बहाना है, असली सुर तो गंगा के किनारे और काशी के मंदिरों में बसे हैं, जहाँ उन्होंने वर्षों रोज़ाना ६ घंटे रियाज़ किया था।सादगी ऐसी कि
भारत रत्न पा कर भी साइकिल से घूमते, सादगी से रहते और कहते कि काशी छोड़कर कैसे जाएं?संगीत और काशी दोनोंएक हैं।

Sanjay Hegde’s Stand is Pure Constitutional Gold‼️

“The river belongs to non-vegetarians as well.”
While BJP Yuva Morcha gets 14 Muslim men arrested for a peaceful Iftar on the Ganga — citing ‘hurt religious sentiments’ — Senior Advocate Sanjay Hegde reminds India what justice truly means.

The Ganga is not a private Hindu property. Public spaces belong to every Indian, every faith, every plate.
No selective outrage. No selective arrests.

Hegde sahab, you just upheld the soul of the Constitution. Respect. 🙏

What an absolutely wonderful story. People like P.V.Chinnathambi show the way.👏spreading the light of books and reading to make the world a better place.

[P. Sainath @PSainath_org]

1/6. At age 86, P. V. Chinnathambi still runs a unique library in the hilly forests of Idukki in Kerala. He has run that library – 2,000 books, all classics – for 15 years now. The books are borrowed, read and returned by poor Muthuvan Adivasis. All this in Edamalakudi, Kerala’s only tribal panchayat and perhaps its – relatively speaking – lowest literacy spot and least educated region. PARI story link https://t.co/VvjratRss7

There is an abrupt break in the chain of heritage buildings on the Ghats in Varanasi. A Taj property in Concrete and glass. The least they could have done is kept the architecture in sync with other buildings.

Because I am a Gulzar groupie 😊

[Pavan Jha @p1j]

Recently, Gulzar Saab was invited to deliver the keynote address at the convocation of an AI University.

He began the keynote on a positive note:

“I’ve been hearing about the extraordinary power of Artificial Intelligence for quite some time. If it can truly give voice to the voiceless and strength to the powerless, that is a good thing indeed.

But I sometimes wonder whether our universities today urgently need more courses in B.I., and whether they should have greater focus in developing B.I. skills in students before the A.I. ?”

He paused.

The auditorium paused, unsure whether to laugh or applaud, uncertain of the context.

Someone then asked, “What do you mean with B.I., Sir? Business Intelligence?”

He smiled.

“No. Basic Intelligence.” 😄

The next BJP MLA who will be garlanded and welcomed to the fold that glorifies rapists and killers.

No fear. No regret. Pure arrogance.

Meet Piyush Dhanmodiya

He blindfolded his girlfriend in the name of a “surprise,” took her to an unknown room, tied her hands and legs, gagged her, and raped her.
She died from suffocation and the assault.

[Namrata @Numb2705]

She kicks ass 👏👏👏 #womenshowtheway #keralagirl

An elderly woman in Kozhikode, Kerala, bravely stopped a scooty rider from misusing the footpath and sent him back to the road.
Her civic sense and determination truly deserve appreciation.

The above are from Deepak Chopra's documented communication with Epstein. There is lot more.

In general, be skeptical of all authorities, more so in religious and spiritual domains.
