To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late
& how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
& the temples of his Gods?

Hon’ble Prime Minister Sir 🙏

Today, the Indian contingent is moving ahead for the Asian Para Games, and I am still waiting for my name and entry.

I qualified to represent India, but my entry was not sent on time due to the federation’s failure. I have done my part and I only want the opportunity to compete for my country. 🇮🇳

Sir, I humbly request you to please kindly intervene urgently and make every possible effort to ensure my entry is sent. I request you not to let me lose this opportunity because of a mistake that was not mine.

Sir, I want to play for India. Please help me. 🙏🇮🇳

Asian games is still on, but to all our sportspersons who missed the podium at / had a chance to improve the height of their podium standium...

Let me tell you about one of my absolute favorite tennis players of all time: Goran Ivanišević.

By the summer of 2001, Goran was a forgotten story.

In the 1990s, he had been the ultimate tragic hero of grass court tennis, reaching 3 Wimbledon finals (1992, 1994, 1998) and losing all 3 in heartbreaking, soul-crushing fashion.

By 2001, his left shoulder was severely damaged, and his world ranking had collapsed to 125, far too low for direct entry into the tournament.

The organizers, out of sheer respect for a former star whose career looked virtually over, handed him a Wildcard just to let him play.

Nobody expected a run. But playing through a wrecked shoulder that was already slated for surgery, running on pure adrenaline and sheer stubborn refusal to bow out quietly, Goran started ripping aces like a man possessed.

He knocked out former World No. 1 Carlos Moyá, a young Andy Roddick, Greg Rusedski,, US Open champion Marat Safin, and then defeated home favorite Tim Henman in a chaotic, rain delayed three day semifinal.

On an electric "People’s Monday" final, the unseeded wildcard walked onto Centre Court to face Pat Rafter.

What followed was 3 hours and 2 minutes of absolute, raw human emotion. Serving for the title at 8-7 in the 5th set, the weight of three lost finals nearly crushed him.

The nerves were plain as day, he double faulted on his 1st two match points, and Rafter saved a 3rd with a brilliant lob. Goran stood on the court praying to the sky, fighting back tears before stepping up for a 4th attempt.

And then, Rafter’s return hit the net.

Goran collapsed onto the grass, sobbing. Ranked 125 in the world, he became the only wildcard in history to win the Men’s Singles title at Wimbledon. Aha here is the fun, in fact, the only wildcard to win a men’s singles major, not only Wimbledon.

Setbacks do not mean the story is over, they just set the stage for the comeback.

You all will be back. And when you all are, it is going to be glorious. 🙏🙏

@DrDeepakKrishn1 Agree sir. If it's a shared effort, it makes sense. Otherwise it's an unfair load on women. Instead of talking and relaxing with guests, they would be occupied in preparing, serving and cleaning up later. I'm glad it has changed.

A Para SF veteran is fighting a very different battle today.

Col Anurag Upadhyay scored in the 99th percentile in CAT but chose the Indian Army over a corporate career. He volunteered for the Special Forces, completed probation with 3 PARA (SF) and became part of the raising team of 12 PARA (SF).

After suffering a severe stroke in August 2025, he is now living with Locked-in Syndrome. His body has been severely affected, but his mind remains conscious and aware.

His family is seeking connections with neurologists, neuro-rehabilitation specialists, researchers, BCI experts and assistive-technology teams who may be able to explore new possibilities for his recovery and communication.

This is not an appeal for sympathy. It is an appeal to reach the right people.

If you know someone who can help, please make the connection. If not, share this story until it reaches someone who can. 🙏🇮🇳

7 September 2026 Nepal

Right now, in Nepal, we are facing something I have never faced before.

Not one rescue — but multiple potential rescues, unfolding at the same time, in different places, each with its own dangers, uncertainties and lives that may still be saved.

It has made me think about Silkyara.

There, 41 men were underground and we had one seemingly impossible task: bring them home alive.

We passed that test together.

But perhaps passing one great test does not mean the testing is over.

Perhaps sometimes it means we are being entrusted with a greater one.

Western traditions might call this duty: we do what is right because it is our responsibility, even when success is uncertain.

Asian traditions offer another powerful idea: dharma. The test is not simply whether we succeed. It is whether we continue to do what is right when the path becomes harder, the responsibilities multiply, and the outcome cannot be known.

Silkyara taught me never to confuse unlikely with impossible.

Nepal is teaching me something more: when several lives may depend upon us at once, hope must become discipline, compassion must become action, and duty cannot depend upon certainty of success.

East or West, the principle feels the same.

We are measured not only by the lives we save, but by the lives we refuse to abandon.
