आप जानते हैं कि राम और रावण के बीच सबसे बड़ा फर्क किस चीज का था? विद्वत्ता, युद्धकौशल और संपन्नता के मामले में रावण दुनिया में सबसे आगे था। लेकिन उसमें जिस एक चीज की कमी थी।, वह थी करुणा। जबकि राम जीवन के हर क्षेत्र में करुणानायक थे।

अंतरराष्ट्रीय बालिका दिवस पर सभी को बधाई। बाल आश्रम में हमारे साथ बैठी हुई किशोरियां ऐसी बाल-नेत्रियां हैं, जिन्होंने अपने-अपने गांव में बाल मजदूरी,बाल विवाह और बच्चों के साथ होने वाले हर तरह के उत्पीड़न को रोककर उन्हें शिक्षा, न्याय और समानता के अधिकार दिलाए। इनमें से कई बच्चिय…Mostrar mais

At five, I asked a cobbler why his son sat outside my school instead of inside. He folded his hands and said, "Babuji, you are born to go to school. We are born to work." I cried. I refused to accept it. That was my first spark of compassion. Nobody taught it to me. It was alr…Mostrar mais

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
