Iqbal Singh Sethi was born on 1st January 1934 in Rawalpindi. A proud Sikh, a decorated Indian Navy Officer, and the man history almost forgot.
When his Navy ship reached England in 1953, he discovered Rock ‘n’ Roll — and the world discovered him. He learned to jive, won the South of England Rock ‘n’ Roll Championship, came back to India, and won the title of “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll of India” at the Taj Hotel, Bombay.
In 1960, Bollywood came calling. In the film Ek Phool Char Kaante, he sang and performed “Baby of Bombay” — becoming the first turbaned, bearded Sikh to ever appear on the Bollywood screen. He didn’t compromise his identity for fame. Not even for a second.
The Navy then made him choose — movies or service. He chose to serve his country. No regrets.
He passed away on 27th November 2021, but his legacy is eternal. A Punjabi. A Sikh. A Sailor. A Rockstar.

@T_Investor_ I Remember signing up for orkut in 2006. I made many friends in hobby groups and I am still friends with some of them. Users could actually see who viewed their profiles.
Back in 2003, a German film crew filming in the Gobi Desert captured an incredibly moving moment: after a tough two-day birth, a mother camel rejected her newborn.
A nomadic family then performed the ancient Hoos singing ritual passed down for generations.
Once the song ended, the camel shed tears and finally accepted her baby.
This powerful scene became one of the most memorable parts of the Oscar-nominated documentary The Story of the Weeping Camel.
A small clip from a documentary released in 1985 on Kapil Dev.
You can see Kapil’s old home, his school, his teachers, and the ground where he used to practice.
His wife, Romi, also talks about Kapil as a person and as a husband.

The dipper bird walks underwater due to its dense bones, powerful legs, and eyes adapted for clear underwater vision. Its waterproof, oil-coated feathers trap insulating air, letting it dive into icy rivers without getting soaked.
Everyone tells Indians to walk 10,000 steps, but no one tells us “Where should we walk?”
Try stepping out to walk in any Indian city.
Chances are:
-There are no footpaths.
-If there is one, it’s broken.
-If it’s not broken, it’s occupied by hawkers, scooters, garbage, or parked cars.
I’ve lived in countries where walking is therapy. In India, walking is a punishment. You dodge potholes, pray you don’t get hit by a car, and come home covered in dust.
We talk about building smart cities, but what’s the point of smart cities if we can’t even walk safely in them?
Our cities were never designed for people. They were designed for traffic. Somewhere along the way, we forgot that walking is not a privilege, it is a basic human right.
Let’s stop designing cities for cars.
Let’s start designing them for people.
Let’s Make India Walkable Again!
A new patient who came to me said he was promised a liver detox to 'improve functions' of cirrhosis liver. He spent ~ 200,000 INR (2333 USD) for 20 days of Ayurvedic therapy. And luckily escaped severe complications.
So, here is a...Public Service Announcement

WATCH‼️ President of Guyana slaps down arrogant BBC reporter.
“You cannot lecture us on climate change, I will lecture YOU!
…we have a forest the size of England and Scotland together that stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon.
…the world has destroyed 65% of its biodiversity — we have kept ours”.

In a country like India where the majority of people are science illiterates who trust cinema and media more than the doctors when it comes to healthcare choices, it is imperative to put out public health information and disclaimers and censor movies that misinterpret and misrepresent life saving organ donation based on cooked up conspiracy theories.
There is absolutely no shred of evidence that people are kidnapped and killed for organs in India, but disgusting movies like these misinform the public and prevent valuable organ donations that help save many lives.
The Indian Government must focus more on correcting these realistic healthcare challenges and hold these media misnformation sources accountable, rather than wasting time and resources on punishing filmmakers and streaming platforms, based on complaints from insecure snowflakes who bring up Hindu-Muslim names issues on OTT that benefits no one.
