Sundays are always extra special for our rescued dogs. ❤️

It is one of the most heartwarming sights to watch them gather around with excitement, wagging tails, and happy faces as they enjoy their favourite meals. So many kind-hearted visitors come every Sunday, bringing delicious food, treats, and most importantly, love for these beautiful souls.

Many of these dogs have faced hunger, neglect, and suffering in their lives. Seeing them enjoy a hearty meal, feeling safe and loved, brings immense peace and satisfaction to our hearts.

For them, Sunday is not just another day. It is a day of joy, comfort, affection, and special memories.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visits, feeds, and spends time with our dogs. Your kindness makes their world brighter and reminds them that they are loved.

Every meal served with love heals a little piece of their heart.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Sometimes, it is the people who have the least who give the most. ❤️

Look at this homeless man sharing his food with these hungry dogs. He may not have much for himself, yet he still finds room in his heart to care for those who cannot speak for themselves.

This is what true humanity looks like.

Humanity is not measured by wealth, status, or possessions. It is measured by kindness, compassion, and the willingness to share, even when life is difficult.

Serving the needy, helping the helpless, feeding the hungry, and caring for voiceless souls is one of the most soul-satisfying acts a person can do.

In a world that often feels rushed and indifferent, moments like these restore our faith in humanity.

May we all learn that kindness costs nothing, but means everything to someone in need.

Salute to this compassionate soul. ❤️

To put that figure in a different context, if India is able to incentivize 1 million middle-UMC NRIs and PIOs to return with their assets, the wealth transfer to the country would exceed $1 trillion.

As for India creating a company with a market cap of that kind, conglomerate owners must be made to feel like total outcasts in global decision making circles. Their wealth relative to the rest must shrink so much that investing in R&D, frontier tech and moonshots becomes their only means to catch up. For many, love for the game is intrinsically linked to perceived status.

2000 years ago Indian travelers visited Egypt's Valley of the Kings.

Cikai Korran left eight marks across five tombs.

Findings change understanding of ancient globalization.

Former RG Kar Chairman Dr. Santanu Sen has resigned from his TMC post, exposing how his own daughter, who is a doctor, was targeted by goons. He admits he was forced into silence. If a top leader's family wasn't safe in Bengal, who was?

The complete silence of the pseudo-secularist and feminist brigade is a deafening hypocrisy. Wake up and smell the coffee!

This is a total institutional collapse under the TMC government.
Shame on TMC, and shame on Mamata Banerjee!

JRD Tata loses a pen!

JRD Tata, then Chairman of the Tata group, and senior Tata Directors used to meet for lunch at Bombay House (the Tata Group's headquarters) every day. One day, JRD came to lunch, sad that he had lost his favourite pen. He used to always carry a Parker pen set - a fountain pen and a ball pen.

"Look", he said sadly, "I have lost the ball pen. I don't know where it has gone. I have looked all over...but it's gone."

One of the Directors in the lunch room that day was Dr. Jamshed (JJ) Irani of Tata Steel. He made note of JRD Tata's loss. A few weeks later, when he was visiting London, he went to a small shop near Selfridges specialising in pens, and found a ball pen identical to the one JRD had lost. He bought it immediately. The next time he met JRD Tata, he presented that pen to him.

JRD was delighted. "Yes, Jamshed, it is exactly like the one I lost." For the first one or two minutes, he used it and tried it out. Then, Dr. Irani saw JRD's expression change slowly.

After a couple of minutes, he gave the ball pen back to Dr. Irani, and said - "Thank you for the thought. This is exactly what I wanted, but I cannot accept it."

"Why?" asked Dr. Irani, "I thought you were looking for this."

JRD answered - "Yes, Jamshed. But it is a principle of mine not to accept any gifts from any of my colleagues at work. If I did, then I know my colleagues would try to outdo each other and give me exorbitant gifts."

Dr. Irani tried to persuade him. "But Sir, nobody would know that I have given you this pen. You can say that you found it in your room. I am not going to go around saying that I have given JRD an identical pen."

JRD responded - "Jamshed, I know you will not do any such thing. But I would know. I would know that I accepted this gift against my principles. I am sorry, but I cannot accept it."

Each of us decides the principles by which we lead our lives. The principles that we will stand by, even if no one is looking or speaking about them. The principles that define who we really are. This story of JRD Tata's lost ball pen can help us reflect on what our own life's principles are. #Tata #ethics

[SANATAN @Eternaldharma_]

The year was 1734, in Lahore. A 10-year-old Hindu boy named Haqiqat Rai was studying as usual with other students at a madrasa. He had recently joined the Persian class. The festival of Vasant Panchami was just around the corner, and he clashed with some Muslim children over the same topic. The Muslim children hurled some profanities against Goddess Saraswati, which the entire class supported. Unable to tolerate, Haqiqat Rai single-handedly opposed them.

Seeing the situation escalate, Haqiqat Rai and the other children were taken to the madrasa's cleric. There, all the Muslim children lied, claiming that Haqiqat had hurled profanities at Bibi Fatima. There was no evidence to support Haqiqat, and considering it a heinous crime, the cleric decided to punish Haqiqat Rai without even knowing the truth.
The cleric reported the incident to the Qazi, and considering it an insult to Islam, the young boy was publicly sentenced to death. His family pleaded for mercy with the then king, Zakaria Khan, but he, without knowing the truth, justified the punishment. The day of execution was deliberately set for Vasant Panchami.
Before his beheading, he was offered the option of converting to Islam, but Haqiqat refused. In 1734, when the entire country was celebrating Saraswati Puja, the beheading of this young child, only 10 years old, was beheaded in Lahore.
It is said that in her final moments, his mother urged him to convert to Islam, as at least he would remain alive. But Haqiqat Rai, smiling, bowed his head to the executioner.
Until the partition of India, both Hindus and Muslims gathered at Haqiqat Rai's tomb in Lahore every Vasant Panchami. It is no wonder that it was because of self-respecting Hindus like Haqiqat Rai that Sanatan Dharma stood tall against the invaders even in such difficult times.

Over 5,000 years ago, the people of the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation developed extensive methods of cultivation and processing cotton. Archaeological evidence from Mehrgarh, Mohenjo-daro, Lothal, and Rakhigarhi including charred seeds, delicate woven threads, and production tools highlights a specialized, region-wide textile economy.

This ancient expertise continues unbroken in India’s rich handloom traditions from Khadi and regional weaves to the timeless beauty of cotton sarees and fabrics used across the country every day. The thread of innovation and craftsmanship from the Indus-Saraswati Civilisation remains woven into the very fabric of Bharat’s living heritage.

Not 5000 years ago but goes all the way back to 7200 years.

India has a 7200-year-old history with cotton. Harappans took it to the world

Mickey was not a nuisance. He was a living, feeling being. While sleeping peacefully, he was allegedly attacked, dragged, stuffed into a sack, and discarded.

Such brutality cannot be normalized. We demand immediate arrest of the accused, a fair investigation, and strict punishment. Justice for Mickey must prevail.
