True peace is the fearless smile of a child—eyes filled with dreams, heart without boundaries, hands holding books, and steps free to reach any goal. ​Yet, over 470 million children today are trapped in war and conflict zones. They are all our children. We cannot achieve global…Mostrar mais

आज के लिए एक जरूरी कहानी। बेहद गरीबी का शिकार एक आदमी बड़ी हिम्मत करके एक राजा से मिलने पहुंचता है, जो उसके बचपन का दोस्त था। दोनों ने साथ रहकर पढ़ाई-लिखाई की थी। जाहिर है, सुरक्षाकर्मियों ने उसे भिखारी समझकर महल के दरवाजे पर ही रोक दिया। बड़ी मिन्नतों के बाद आखिर वे राजा तक…Mostrar mais

80 वे स्वतंत्रता दिवस पर आप सबको बहुत-बहुत बधाई। हमेशा की तरह हमने यह पर्व राजस्थान में बाल आश्रम में अपने बच्चों के साथ मनाया।

At 5, 11, and 27, three defining moments shaped my life’s purpose. They proved a simple truth: age is no barrier when the fire of compassion burns within. Deeply grateful to the Times of India and Avijit Ghosh ji for capturing this journey so meaningfully. @toi @cinemawaleghosh

दो पुलिस वालों की सच्ची कहानी। साठ के दशक में एक छोटे-से पुलिस थाने में दो हवलदार साथ काम करते थे। दोनों परिवारों में गहरी आत्मीयता थी। समय बीता। कुछ सालों में ही उनमें से एक पदोन्नत होकर सब-इंस्पेक्टर बन गए। अफसरों और नेताओं की खुशामद के साथ-साथ जहाँ अवसर मिला, वहाँ रिश्वत ल…Mostrar mais

कुछ युवाओं ने मुझसे पूछा, "दया, कृपा, क्षमा, संवेदना आदि सभी अच्छे गुण हैं। फिर आप करुणा को उनसे अलग क्यों कर रहे हैं?" मैंने उन्हें चार कारण बताए: पहला- करुणा कोई भावना नहीं है, बल्कि खुद को और समाज को बदलने वाली क्रांतिकारी शक्ति है। दूसरा- बाकी सभी गुण सीखने के लिए अच्छे हैं,…Mostrar mais
