People come from across the world to see Rajasthan’s palaces and forts rising into the sky.
But one of its most remarkable sights does the exact opposite.
It goes deep into the ground.
Chand Baori, in Abhaneri, was built over a thousand years ago. It drops nearly 30 metres across 13 levels and about 3,500 precisely arranged steps making it one of the deepest and largest stepwells in the world.
But what impresses most isn’t just the scale, it’s the thinking.
We talk a lot today about “design thinking” which is essentially solving problems by blending empathy, function and design so seamlessly that the solution becomes an art form.
While the stepwell fills the basic need of water, what emerges is almost hypnotic symmetry.
This is design thinking, centuries before we gave it a name.
Back then, it was simply… wisdom.

Hats off to the man for having kept his calm and responded back to the police officer in the same coin.
I would suggest him to file an online FIR against this police officer - respect works both ways. This was totally unprofessional and unprovoked.
The great sculptor Ram Sutar, who passed away today at age 100, stands with his son Anil beneath the statue of Subhas Chandra Bose at @aaikolairport. Sutar was behind many famous statues across India, especially the Statue of Unity in Gujarat. 🙏

"Modi, remember, if you burn Bengal, Assam, the North-East, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Delhi too shall burn..."
Mamata Banerjee’s threats might resemble those of a Pakistani politician, but she is the Bengal CM who is openly calling to burn Bharat!
Anyone still defending her is no less than an anti-national.
Wonderful to see that from the times of Wizard Dhyanchand to Sarpanch Saab Harmanpreet, Indian Hockey makes a mark once again in Olympics; a fitting farewell to Sreejesh. The Nation values this Bronze as Gold. Much love & Blessings. -Sg
