True test of character is how you behave when no one is watching and how you act when you can do all that you want. The difference between you can, you may and should you, truly defines who you are. #RandomThoughts

While Europe was under ice, someone in Ratnagiri carved a 14-metre map of India. It's an elephant. Head west to the Konkan, tail east. Inside it: a tiger in the east, a langur in the north, a boar in Madhya Pradesh, a pangolin in the south. Each animal where it actually lives. Seven mountains. The Mahabharata also names seven. It was carved 10,000 years before the Mahabharata. Now the part that should end the argument. The map's width-to-height ratio is 1.167. Modern India is 1.04. Doesn't match. Because they weren't mapping modern India. Reverse-solve 1.167 against the coastline of 12,000 BCE — when the sea was 120m lower and the Sunda Shelf was dry land — and the eastern edge lands at ~100.9°E. The eastern shore of the Malay Peninsula. The exact limit of the world you could walk to from India at the time. A decorative outline doesn't do that. A map does. The oldest known map is supposed to be Çatalhöyük, ~6,200 BCE. This predates it by 6,000 years. It's on an open plateau. People play cricket near these carvings. The monsoon is erasing it.

Doğum oranının 1,14 ile tarihin en düşük seviyesine gerilediği söyleniyor. Çocuklarla yakından çalışan bir öğretmen olarak düşününce, bu durum bana çok normal geliyor. Çocuklarının ateşi çıksa bile okuldan almaya gelemeyen ebeveynler var. Konuşmamız gereken önemli bir konu olduğunda bile işten izin alamayan ebeveynler... Çocuğundan önce evden çıkmazsa işe yetişemeyen ebeveynler... Kısacası, çalışan anne babaların hiçbir esnekliği yok. İnsanlar böyle ağır ve katı çalışma koşullarına maruz kalırken, çocuk yapmaya nasıl niyetlenebilir ki?

ये वो दृश्य है जो बहुत कम आँखों ने देखा है। गौमुख, जहाँ माँ गंगा पृथ्वी पर अपना पहला कदम रखती हैं। 8-9 जून को गंगा प्रहरी प्रखर सिंह बिष्ट ने गंगोत्री से तपोवन तक की कठिन ट्रैकिंग कर ये दुर्लभ वीडियो भेजा है। जो आप देख रहे हैं वो है हिमालय की सबसे विशाल हिमानियों में से एक, गंगोत्री ग्लेशियर। और इसके मुहाने गौमुख से अवतरित होती निर्मल, अविरल माँ गंगा। शिवलिंग, मेरु और चौखम्बा जैसे शिखरों के बीच, समुद्र तल से हज़ारों मीटर ऊपर, यहीं से शुरू होती है वो यात्रा जो करोड़ों जीवन को सींचती है। ये स्रोत जितना पवित्र है, उतना ही नाज़ुक भी। इसे बचाना हम सबका धर्म है। #GangotriGlacier #Gaumukh #NamamiGange #Himalaya

One day, your child will stop asking you to play. They’ll stop holding your finger while crossing the road. They’ll stop waiting at the door for you to come home. One day, they’ll be too old for bedtime stories, too busy for silly jokes, and too cool to sit beside you on the sofa. And you won’t know which day is the last. The last time you carry them. The last time they ask you to fix a broken toy. The last time they run into your arms because they had a bad dream. And i am scared of that day. This thought haunts me everyday.

If you do not appreciate the bare minimum you don't deserve the rare maximum.

Rashtrapati Ji, I am grateful to you for your warm wishes and kind words. Whatever has been achieved over the years is the result of the collective efforts and aspirations of the people of India. The affection and blessings of 140 crore Indians are my greatest strength and inspiration. I am particularly glad that you mentioned PM-JANMAN and Dharti Aaba Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan. Our Government remains committed to ensuring that the benefits of development reach every section of society in the true spirit of Antyodaya. @rashtrapatibhvn

The DS identified this man as a major threat to their easy manipulation of India very early on. They desperately tried to stop him from ever leading the country. The moment he became CM, they ignited issues, branded him with every possible label, attempted to sanction him, and even revoked his visas. They unleashed tens of thousands of pages of propaganda reports against him, both inside India and abroad. They weaponised the opposition and the courts to flood him with cases from every direction. Yet he overcame it all. To become the PM of the world’s largest democracy. Despite all the hit jobs, sabotage, and propaganda, he remains the most popular leader on the planet. He has turned every adversity into an advantage. "Being Anti-fragile" is his mantra. And he has made India anti-fragile too. We have seen the nation emerge stronger from every crisis thrown at it. I believe he will also resolve the infowar crisis. The main force behind it will be weakened and broken by him. It will be a fitting feather in his cap before he retires as not only India’s longest serving PM, but its most impactful one. History will remember him as the one who transformed India not just in infrastructure and development, but forged a confident, self-reliant nation that stands proud on the global stage.

This is so touching. President Droupadi Murmu wiping the tears of Lt Shashank Tiwari’s grieving mother 🥹 Just 23 years old & barely six months into service, Shashank saw a fellow Agniveer being SWEPT AWAY by a powerful mountain stream. He did not hesitate. He jumped in, saved a life, and paid with his own💔 The Kirti Chakra honours bravery. Lt Shashank Tiwari embodied it. In an age where courage is often spoken about, he lived it in its purest form. We're proud 🇮🇳

This single Hymn (The creation hymn/nasadiya sukta , Rig Veda 3500 years old) mogs all religious books combined. No wonder all Physicist/Scientist used to read Ved/Vedanta, Listen 👇

Se o bater das asas de um beija-flor já parece desafiar os limites da natureza, o pulsar PSR J1748-2446ad leva essa ideia a uma escala cósmica. Enquanto o pássaro bate as asas cerca de 80 vezes por segundo, essa estrela de nêutrons gira 716 vezes no mesmo intervalo. Seu equador se move tão rápido que alcança aproximadamente 24% da velocidade da luz. O que é frenético na Terra torna-se quase imóvel diante de uma máquina cósmica como essa.

Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home. Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

Having spent two and a half days inside a Khumbu Icefall crevasse—surviving on a packet of biscuits and ice—Dawa still looked remarkably composed. “Looks like they didn’t casually give him the nickname ‘Hillary’, joked Kunga Sherpa.

Here is a photo of Dawa Sherpa who was found alive this morning, 04.06.2026 NPT, near Crampon Point on Everest while crawling toward base camp. Frostbitten, exhausted, and severely weakened, he miracolously survived alone for days after disappearing above Camp III.

RT @EverestToday: Most of us have read the story of Beck Weathers' survival on Everest. In an era before social media, his ordeal became on…

Jako raakhe saaiyaan, maar sake na koi... 🙏

UPDATE: Dawa Sherpa has been transferred to Kathmandu for further medical treatment after his miraculous survival on Mt Everest. The 52-year-old Sherpa climber, who was found alive near Crampon Point after days alone high on the mountain, is suffering from severe frostbite and exhaustion. Details to follow!

Your kids will become like you, and so you must become more like God. This realization is what drives the sudden maturity of new fathers.
