I came across this video of Rajgir in Bihar & was intrigued.

I vaguely knew of Rajgir, but had never really thought of it as a tourist destination.

So I decided to read up a little more about it.
It turned out to be a rewarding exploration.

Rajgir was the capital of Magadha over 2,500 years ago. The Buddha and Mahavira both spent time here. The city was once surrounded by a massive stone wall, almost 40 kilometres long, built without mortar.

Today, it has a spectacular glass skywalk, ropeways, forested hills and ancient monuments.

But my reading led me to think more broadly about Bihar itself.

Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha attained enlightenment. Nalanda, one of the ancient world’s greatest centres of learning. Vaishali, associated with one of the earliest republican systems of government. And Pataliputra, capital of Ashoka’s Mauryan Empire.

An incredible concentration of history and heritage in one state

And yet, outside its important pilgrimage circuits, Bihar seems to receive relatively little attention as a tourist destination.

I can’t help feeling that Bihar is sitting on a tourism gold mine.

All this reflection prompted by one video of Rajgir. A reminder of how much there still is to explore in our own country…

Still can’t believe Nana is not among us.

We never worked together, but we always shared a very special bond that went back many years.

Fearless, full of life, he always did what he wanted to do. That’s how I’ll always remember him.

Will miss you, Nana. 🙏

Every night in 2001 I used to wait for my family to fall asleep.
I was 28 years old, a qualified CA, and I was completely broke.

I had borrowed ₹14 lakhs from 3 banks at 19% interest to invest in stocks and the dot-com crash wiped out 90% of everything.

Newly married, one child, and an entire family depending on me.
The worst part was not the debt - "It was the eyes".

Some looked at me with pity, some with judgement like "he got greedy" and some just stopped looking at me altogether.

Every night after everyone slept I would sit on the sofa, close my eyes, and picture just one thing - "My wife being happy"

Not rich, not famous, just happy.

And I told myself there are only two roads from here
Either I win and make them proud or I live in regret forever.

Today I have properties in Dubai, a company in 34 countries, and a family that is proud of the man who almost gave up but did not.

If you are sitting alone right now wondering if it gets better
Close your eyes, see the version of you that wins, and then go to war for it.

Hard times do not break you
They build the version of you that nothing can break ❤️

This is Aparna Lavakumar.

She met a Class 5 student who was battling cancer and was often mocked by his classmates because of his appearance.

The next day, she visited a local parlour and shaved her head.

She once even donated her gold bangles to help a family get a loved one’s dead body released from a private hospital because they could not afford the hospital bill.

For many women, hair is deeply personal. They spend hours at salons, care for it, style it and protect it. Shaving your head is not a small thing, especially when you are doing it just to make a child feel less alone.

She did it without expecting anything in return.

QUEEN BEHAVIOUR.

27 साल तक बच्चों का भविष्य बनाया, ���ज ₹5 का समोसा बेचकर अपना घर चला रहे हैं। 💔

ये तस्वीर सिर्फ एक शिक्षक की नहीं है, ये हमारी शिक्षा व्यवस्था और समाज के उस सच की तस्वीर है, जिसे देखकर आंखें नम हो जाती हैं।

ये हैं ब्रिजकिशोर चौरसिया जी, झांसी जिले के एरच, उत्तर प्रदेश के रहने वाले हैं। करीब 27 साल तक उन्होंने बच्चों को पढ़ाया। अंग्रेजी, गणित और विज्ञान जैसे विषय पढ़ाने वाले इस शिक्षक की उम्र आज करीब 55 साल है।

जिस स्कूल में वे पढ़ाते थे, वहां बच्चों की फीस सिर्फ ₹100 महीना थी। ग्रामीण इलाकों में कई अभिभावक इतनी फीस भी समय पर नहीं दे पाते थे। ब्रिजकिशोर जी ने कई बार गरीब बच्चों को मुफ्त में पढ़ाया, अपनी तरफ से कॉपी-किताबें दीं और जरूरत पड़ने पर उन्हें खाना तक खिलाया। लेकिन जिस शिक्षा को उन्होंने अपना जीवन दिया, वही शिक्षा उनके परिवार का पेट नहीं भर पाई।

आज वही शिक्षक साइकिल पर ₹5 के समोसे लेकर घर-घर बेचने निकलते हैं, क्योंकि परिवार का खर्च चलाने के लिए उन्हें यह काम करना पड़ रहा है।

और यहां एक सवाल जरूर होना चाहिए…

जिस समाज में शिक्षक बच्चों का भविष्य बनाने के लिए अपनी जिंदगी लगा देता है, उसी समाज में एक शिक्षक को बुढ़ापे में दो वक्त की रोटी के लिए समोसा बेचने की नौबत क्यों आती है?

समोसा बेचना कोई छोटा काम नहीं है। मेहनत की हर कमाई सम्मान की हकदार है।

लेकिन दुख इस बात का है कि 27 साल बच्चों को पढ़ाने के बाद भी एक शिक्षक अपने परिवार के लिए आर्थिक सुरक्षा नहीं बना पाया है।

शिक्षक सिर्फ नौकरी नहीं करता बल्कि
वह पीढ़ियां बनाता है।

ब्रिजकिशोर चौरसिया जी को सलाम। 🙏❤️

FLASHBACK TO SUNNY DEOL’S BLOCKBUSTER ARJUN (1985)

Before Sunny Deol became one of Bollywood’s most iconic action stars, Arjun showed the world the intensity, vulnerability and raw screen presence that would define his career.

Directed by Rahul Rawail and written by legendary screenwriter Javed Akhtar, Arjun released on 20 April 1985 with Sunny Deol in the titular role of Arjun Malvankar, alongside Dimple Kapadia.

The story followed an unemployed young man living in Mumbai who becomes increasingly frustrated by unemployment, corruption, crime and injustice. Along with his friends, Arjun decides to stand up against the powerful forces exploiting ordinary people.

What made the film special was that Arjun wasn’t presented as an invincible superhero. He was an angry, vulnerable young man struggling with society, family problems and a lack of purpose. That grounded portrayal made Sunny Deol’s performance incredibly relatable.

The film featured a remarkable ensemble including Raj Kiran, Prem Chopra, Anupam Kher, A. K. Hangal, Supriya Pathak, Shafi Inamdar, Annu Kapoor and Paresh Rawal.

It also marked Paresh Rawal’s commercial-cinema debut, making the film even more significant in hindsight.

R. D. Burman’s music added another memorable layer, with “Mammaya Kero Kero Mamma” becoming an unforgettable anthem of youthful rebellion.

Arjun was a major commercial success, reportedly grossing around ₹5.5 crore against a budget of approximately ₹1.5 crore. More importantly, it played a major role in establishing Sunny Deol as a leading action star.

Critics have continued to praise the film decades later. Rediff’s Sukanya Verma described Arjun as Sunny Deol’s best action film, highlighting its gritty realism, powerful writing and Deol’s restrained intensity.

The film also had a lasting influence beyond Hindi cinema. It was later remade in Tamil as Sathyaa, Telugu as Bharatamlo Arjunudu, Kannada as Sangrama and Sinhala as Suranimala.

Years later, Arjun remained close to the hearts of filmmakers too. Farhan Akhtar called it his “all-time favourite” when the film was discussed online in 2022.

From the rain-soaked action sequences to Sunny Deol’s silent rage, Javed Akhtar’s sharp writing and Rahul Rawail’s realistic Mumbai, Arjun remains one of the defining films of 1980s Hindi cinema.

A film that didn’t just make Sunny Deol an action star it helped create the Sunny Deol phenomenon. 🔥

Do you still remember Arjun?

#OneWordReview...
#Batwara1947: POWERFUL.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️½
The #SunnyDeol - #RajkumarSantoshi combo gets it right yet again... Unconventional plot, strong emotions, power-packed performances are its USPs... Carries a strong, pertinent message. #Batwara1947Review

Based on #AsgharWajahat's acclaimed play 'Jis Lahore Nai Vekhya, O Jamya E Nai', the film revisits the horrors and upheaval of partition through an intense story.

After memorable collaborations like #Ghayal [1990], #Damini [1993], and #Ghatak [1996], Santoshi and Sunny reunite with a completely different story and a new set of characters.

Santoshi handles the material with conviction... The recreated #Lahore of 1947 looks authentic, while the ambience effectively captures the turbulence, uncertainty, and fear of the period.

The first half takes time to establish the premise, but it's the powerful second half that truly delivers, with several brilliant moments bearing the unmistakable Santoshi stamp.

A few sequences in the second hour stand out...
⭐ The assault on #ShabanaAzmi by a mob on the streets of #Lahore, followed by the action that erupts soon after;
⭐ Sunny's fiery sequence in the police station immediately thereafter;
⭐ The finale, which is sure to spark conversations and discussions.

In fact, the film doesn't shy away from violence, aggression, and conflict... The aggressive dialogue, street fights, and mass-oriented sequences lean heavily into the familiar #SunnyDeol cinematic grammar... Yet, the narrative remains firmly rooted in its central idea: humanity must rise above hatred.

Far removed from his familiar patriotic or revenge-driven characters, Sunny is outstanding here, bringing restraint, vulnerability, and authority to the part.

#ShabanaAzmi is exceptional, bringing extraordinary dignity and emotional depth to her character.

It's a delight to watch #PreityZinta on the big screen after a long gap... She is first-rate... #AbhimanyuSingh is competent, as always.

#KaranDeol is raw and needs to further polish his acting skills... #AliFazal has his moments, but the character is half-baked.

There's not much scope for songs in the narrative [#ARRahman], but the one track that stands out is #KahaanChaleGayeHoRam... It arrives at a crucial juncture and seamlessly leads into the solid pre-climax and finale.

⭐ Final word? #Batwara1947 is worth a watch... Yes, it defies the familiar template associated with #SunnyDeol films, but it has the emotions, performances, and, above all, the message to strike a chord.

Feeling truly blessed to have visited TAKHAT SRI HARIMANDIR JI PATNA SAHIB, the sacred birthplace of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji.

[Sann @san_x_m]

The Taj was burning and full of terrorists, and he spent the whole night getting his guests out. What almost no one knew was that his own wife and his two little boys were trapped upstairs in the fire the entire time.

His name is Karambir Singh Kang.

On the night of 26 November 2008, ten gunmen came out of the sea and tore Mumbai apart. One of their targets was the Taj Mahal Palace hotel. He was its General Manager.

He was not staying late at work. He lived in the hotel, in a suite on the sixth floor, with his wife Neeti and their two sons, aged fourteen and five.

When the attack began, he was downstairs. And downstairs is where he stayed, because the building was full of guests who were his responsibility, and someone had to get them out. Through the smoke and the gunfire, all night, he organised evacuations, guided people to exits, and kept working the floors.

He knew the fire had reached the sixth floor. He knew his family was up there. His wife managed to call for help. He could not get to them, and he made the impossible choice to keep doing his duty to a few hundred strangers while his own family was beyond his reach.

By morning, Neeti and both boys were dead.

He had lost everything a man can lose, in his own home, on his own watch. And here is the part that tells you who he is. He did not leave the Taj. He stayed on as its General Manager and helped rebuild it, and when it reopened he was still there, standing in the lobby.

He said something afterwards that is almost too much to bear. That a captain does not leave his ship. That the hotel was his responsibility, and the people in it were his responsibility, and on that night he did the only thing he knew how to do.

He saved hundreds of people's families by giving up any chance of saving his own.
