It’s getting harder to forget that new-age stars like Ranveer Singh, Vicky Kaushal and Ranbir Kapoor ride hate-waves to the top, conscience apparently optional. It’s getting harder to forget that stars misuse their talent and damage the cultural fabric of a country to appease the establishment and its masses. It’s getting harder to forget botched box-office figures and sold-out trade experts. It’s getting harder to forget that film-makers like Vipul Shah and Vivek Agnihotri have built careers on the careful cultivation of communal hatred. It’s getting harder to forget that blockbusters like Dhurandhar and their ilk peddle mass psychosis and communal hate under the pretext of slick entertainment. It’s getting harder to forget that publications are afraid to call out disinformation and historical revisionism because they need access to said stars for eyeballs and influence.

A little girl named Ellie was at her father's funeral — just 6 years old, dressed in her favorite blue pajamas because that's what made her feel safe. The day was heavy with grief, rain falling softly, everyone in black.But then, out of nowhere, a jogger running by with her therapy dog (a big, gentle black Lab named Max) slowed down. She didn't know the family. She just saw a tiny girl sitting alone on the steps, tears streaming, clutching a stuffed animal.The jogger stopped, knelt, and asked softly: "Sweetheart, would Max like to give you a hug?"Ellie looked up, eyes wide. Max sat right beside her, tail wagging slowly, and leaned in. Ellie wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his fur. For the first time that day, she smiled — a small, real one.The jogger stayed. She let Ellie pet Max as long as she needed. Photographers caught the moment: a grieving child finding comfort in a stranger's dog, right there on the church lawn.Word spread. People shared the photos online. Donations poured in for the family — enough to cover unexpected costs and even start a small fund for Ellie's future therapy dog when she's older.The jogger later said: "I was just out for my usual run. But seeing her... I couldn't keep running. Sometimes the smallest detour changes everything."Ellie’s mom posted later: "In our darkest hour, a stranger and her dog reminded us that love still shows up — even when we can't ask for it."A child in pain. A dog who understood without words. A jogger who paused.Proof that kindness doesn't need an invitation. It just needs someone willing to stop.

Kannauj, the perfume capital of India, has kept the art of attar-making alive for centuries. I had the chance to document this timeless craft with Pranjal Kapoor from ML Ramnarain Perfumers. From hand-picked flowers to traditional distillation, it’s a labor of love. Have you used attars? Share your thoughts! #Kannauj #Attar #HandmadePerfume

Barf giri ho vaadi mein
Aur hansi teri goonje
oon mein lipti simti hui
Baat kare, dhuaan nikle
Garam garam ujlaa dhuaan
Naram naram ujlaa dhuaan

सार्वजनिक जीवन में असहमति को सम्मान और स्थान देने वाले पूर्व प्रधानमंत्री मनमोहन सिंह को मेरी श्रद्धांजलि। आपकी शाली���ता भारत की राजनीति ��ें मील का पत्थर है। बिना किसी भय के आपकी सरकार की खूब आलोचना का अवसर मिला। बिना कटुता और कपट के किसी पर हमला किए राजनीति के शिखर पर रहने वाले और खुली प्रेस कांफ्रेंस करने वाले भारत के आख़िरी प्रधानमंत्री को प्रणाम।
