(1/2) A 100 yr old Veda Sanskruta Pathasala in Mulapet, Nellore, is looking for genuine donors who can help construct the classrooms. The current ones are dilapidated. From TMAD, we are planning to support a dining hall.

@DrDeepakKrishn1 Doc, irrespective of the look, you are like Dravid. Even if you say gunda, underworld, you do not instill fear.

A massive and alarming security crisis has hit Kashmir: Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot United Liberation Front (ULF/ULC) has issued an open, direct threat to all 7,000 Kashmiri Pandit PM Package employees.
In an extreme case of targeted doxxing, sensitive personal data—including private phone numbers, home addresses across Jammu & Kashmir, and vehicle registration details—has been leaked online, warning employees to quit immediately or face fatal consequences.
Leaking such critical data puts thousands of families in imminent danger. @HMOIndia and @OfficeOfLGJandK must urgently investigate this catastrophic data breach and guarantee airtight security for every employee on the ground.

@DeviRudrani How to aproach them? Do they converse and explain in Telugu?

[🇮🇳 ULPrasanthi, Indian 🇮🇳 @ul_prasanthi]

@DeviRudrani @MadOWatt can you share the contact details of Nadi Jyothish in VJA? Those who cannot go till Tamilnadu can go when we know that they predicted well. What about the future andi? Did they say anything and did those predictions became true?

6 terrorists were hiding in a house in a village in Kashmir. Soldiers surrounded it.

One man positioned himself at the spot they would run for, so none of them could get out.

He was 31, from a village in Bihar, and he was not from the army. He was from the Air Force.

His name was Jyoti Prakash Nirala.

He was born on 15th November 1986 in Badladih, in Rohtas district in Bihar, into an ordinary family. He joined the Indian Air Force in 2005 at 18.

Most people do not know the Air Force has commandos. It does. They are called the Garud Commando Force, raised in 2003, and it is the youngest special forces unit in the country. The selection and training is brutal and takes years.

He got in.

On 18th November 2017, in Chanderger village in the Bandipora district of Jammu and Kashmir, intelligence reported 6 Lashkar e Taiba terrorists hiding in a house.

Among them was Osama Jungi, the nephew of Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi, and another man who was the group's commander for north Kashmir.

A Garud detachment went in with the 13th Battalion of the Rashtriya Rifles and set a close quarter ambush around the house.

Nirala took the most exposed position. He placed himself right at the approach to the hideout, to close off the only escape route.

His citation makes a point of this. Laying an ambush at such close quarters, it says, demanded a very high degree of courage and professional acumen.

He was, in plain terms, the man standing in the doorway.

The 6 came out at once, firing and throwing grenades.

Nirala shot 2 of them dead, including Jungi, and wounded 2 more.

Then he was hit. Not by a single bullet. The citation says a barrage.

He kept firing.

He carried on engaging the remaining terrorists while critically wounded, and he held that position until he could not any more. He died of his wounds.

All 6 terrorists were killed in that operation. It is regarded as one of the heaviest blows dealt to that organisation in Kashmir in those years.

3 days later he would have turned 31. He had been married since 2010.

On 26th January 2018 the President of India presented the Ashok Chakra to his widow at the Republic Day parade.

The Ashok Chakra is the highest award India gives for bravery in peacetime. It is the equal of the Param Vir Chakra.

He was only the 3rd person in the history of the Indian Air Force to receive it, and the first Air Force man ever to be given a gallantry award for fighting on the ground.

He was a Corporal. Not an officer.

He was the man who made sure nobody got out of that house.

@allyshko He literally looks like a boy waiting for his mom to pick him up from school.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

A seven-year-old boy in Tokyo was walking home from school.
He looked down at the sidewalk.

A 10-yen coin. Worth about seven cents.

He picked it up, turned around,
and walked two blocks to the local police box — the Koban.

Watch what happens next.

In most places, an officer would laugh,
pocket the nickel, and tell the kid to run along.

Not here.

The officer pulled out an official document.
He knelt down on the wooden floor so he was eye-to-eye with the boy.
With a straight face and full seriousness,
he asked for the child's name, the exact location found,
and the exact time.

He stamped the form.
He handed the boy a formal receipt.
Then he bowed from his knees and said:
"Thank you for doing the right thing. Japan is safer because of you."

Last year, people turned in over 4 billion yen in lost cash
to Tokyo police stations.
Over 70 percent went back to its rightful owners.

You don't get that kind of society by accident.

You get it by treating a seven-cent coin
like the honor of an entire country.

[V. Ramgopal Rao, Ph.D. @ramgopal_rao]

I had a rather unusual and deeply touching meeting in #Pilani yesterday.

I met Pappu ji, as generations of BITSians know him. His real name is Kamal Kapoor. He has been associated with BITS Pilani since 1975 and runs a small canteen. After spending the first few years at Connaught, he moved to #Skylab in 1979.

I went into the meeting thinking he might have come with some request. I was completely wrong.

As a conversation starter, I asked him, “You have seen BITS students for more than 50 years. Have they changed?”

His answer came immediately.

“Sir, nothing has changed. They are still very imandar (honest). They are respectful. They are good students.”

He told me that he had once visited another college where students were speaking rather rudely to canteen workers, saying things like “idhar aao, udhar jao.” He said he had never experienced that at BITS.

Coming from someone who has probably interacted with more generations of #BITSians than most of us ever will, that meant a lot to me.

He does however see a few changes.

Earlier, after classes, students would come for chai, samosa, Maggi and long conversations. Now many go back to their rooms and get immersed in laptops and phones. Students also go home much more often during holidays.

But his bond with #BITSians was never really about chai or Maggi.

In the old days, if a student’s money order from home was delayed, Pappu ji would lend him money. It would be returned when the money arrived.

Decades later, those same students invite him to @BITSAA meets in Dubai, Hyderabad, Goa and elsewhere.

During the Covid lockdown, alumni called him from all over the world asking if he needed money.

“I don’t need anything,” he told them.

He never took money from any alumnus.

Once, when his father was critically ill, he urgently needed about Rs 15 lakh. He reached out to a few former students. Within hours, they were ready to help. The procedure was eventually not needed, and he returned whatever money he had received.

Many alumni still offer to help him. He refuses.

“When old students come and hug me, that is enough. I don’t need their money.”

That sentence stayed with me.

He remembers alumni from the late 1970s onwards.

When @RevathiAdvaithi came recently for our Pilani convocation as Chief Guest, he told me proudly that one of the first things she did was come and hug him.

Later, instead of going for the official dinner, she and her husband came to his stall and had Maggi.

I also asked him, “Do you find students more stressed today?”

He looked surprised.

“What stress, Sir? They are all happy. They are all nice students.”

Towards the end, I asked, “Is there anything the Institute can do for you?”

“Nothing, Sir. I am very happy. BITS has given me everything.”

I asked him again. The answer was the same.

I came away thinking about that for a long time.

We spend so much of our lives chasing positions, money, recognition and things we believe will make us happy.

Here was a man who seemed to want none of these.

For him, happiness was in the relationships he had built over five decades. In students who still remember him after 30 or 40 years. In alumni who travel all the way to Pilani just to meet him. In that hug from an old student.

#Pappu ji seemed to have no negativity about anything. Every story had gratitude in it. Every memory was about people.

For more than 50 years, he has served generations of BITSians chai, Maggi, samosas and shikanji.

In return, they seem to have given him something far more valuable.

A very large family.

Perhaps that is what BITS Pilani is ultimately about.

And perhaps Pappu ji, in his own simple way, reminded me yesterday of something all of us know but often forget.

A happy life is ultimately about the relationships we build and the love we leave behind.
