Random Thoughts: We buy a ₹20 lakh car and treat it like a treasure.
We keep its paperwork updated. Fill fuel before the tank runs low. Change engine oil on time. Get regular servicing done.
If there is a strange noise, we don’t ignore it. A small warning light appears - and we rush to fix it.
But what about the body that carries us through life?
What about the mind that makes every decision?
What about the soul that gives meaning to everything we achieve?
We neglect sleep. Ignore stress. Feed our bodies carelessly. Overwork our minds. Starve our spirit. Carry pain for years and call it strength.
We postpone health checkups. Delay rest. Ignore emotions. Silence inner exhaustion.
And then we wonder why life feels heavy.
The strange thing is - we insure our possessions but gamble with our own existence.
Your car can be replaced. Your phone can be upgraded. Your house can be rebuilt.
But this body? This mind? This spirit?
You have been given one.
Service it. Nourish it. Protect it.
Listen when it makes noise. Because the most expensive thing you own was never parked in your driveway.
It has been carrying you all along.
June 3, 1984
June 3, 1984, marked a dramatic escalation in the crisis surrounding the Golden Temple complex.
The day coincided with the Shaheedi Gurpurab of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, one of the most important occasions in the Sikh calendar.
Thousands of pilgrims from Punjab and other parts of India had gathered at Darbar Sahib to pay their respects. Many families, including women, children, and elderly devotees, were present within the complex.
As tensions continued to rise, the Government of India imposed a statewide curfew across Punjab. Road, rail, and communication links were severely restricted. Telephone lines were disrupted, public transportation was halted, and strict controls were placed on the movement of people.
Journalists and foreign correspondents faced increasing restrictions, limiting the flow of information from the region.
Security forces tightened their cordon around the Golden Temple complex and other major gurdwaras across Punjab. Residents of Amritsar witnessed troop movements and military preparations on an unprecedented scale. The city gradually became isolated from the outside world.
Inside the complex, those present found themselves effectively trapped. Many pilgrims who had come for religious observances were unable to leave due to the curfew and restrictions.
Food, medical assistance, and communication with family members became growing concerns.
As night fell on June 3, uncertainty gripped Punjab. The state was under lockdown, the Golden Temple was surrounded, and a confrontation that had been building for months now appeared imminent.
The stage was set for events that would profoundly impact Sikh history, Punjab, and India for generations to come.
