Sir, I am a father of a 3-year-old child and am planning to enrol him in a school in Deoghar in next few months to a year. I learnt that schools for even kids at that age starts at around 6-7am. This is the state in many schools in Deoghar, & it pains me to see little children waking that early & catching the bus. It’s not less difficult for parents to prepare their child that early.
Can something be done? Is there a harm if schools start at 8:30-9am?

#Jharkhand has some really good places to visit that includes serene green landscapes, hills, forests, etc. That’s what I felt staying here last 5 years.
I say this being born & brought up in #WestBengal

May be we need 2 crores for this.
Why is no one doing this? 🤯
If you invest ₹2 crore in a Fixed Deposit earning 6.5% p.a., you’ll receive roughly ₹13 lakh in interest every year.
you’ll pay ~₹78,000 in income tax, including cess.
That leaves you with ₹12.22 lakh a year, or roughly ₹1.02 lakh per month after tax. 💰
Shift to a Tier-2 city and live comfortably on your interest income. 🏡
Your original ₹2 crore FD stays invested, while the interest pays for your lifestyle.
Financial freedom is when your money works for you. 🚀
Even today his creations create ripples in our mind. What a maestro!
I still find it fascinating seeing the presence of a crow 🐦⬛ in nearly many of his cartoons.

With a few strokes and a sharp wit, Padma Vibhushan R.K. Laxman turned everyday India into timeless art. Through his iconic Common Man, he captured the ironies, struggles and spirit of ordinary Indians, one cartoon at a time.
Also conferred with Padma Bhushan (1973) and the Ramon Magsaysay Award (1984) for his contributions to journalism and arts, we remember the legendary cartoonist Laxman on his 105th birth anniversary.

Though a laudable approach, but this will possibly NOT reduce suicides. There are multiple means to it.
What’s necessary is a ready-to-go #MentalHealth support system in every campuses across the country, where anyone can go without facing stigma & discrimination.
#suicide is preventable & primary prevention is the one to be looked for.

Nothing more that I can agree with.
#DurgaPuja #DurgaPujaFestival2026
Just to set the records straight…
For all non-Bengalis who confuse Durga Puja (of Bengal) with Navaratri (outside Bengal), there's a simple big difference in the way it's celebrated. While Navaratri could be religious (as people claim it to be), Durga Puja is a cultural festival. There's a remarkable difference between religion and culture.
Why is Durga Puja not religious, but cultural? Here's a Bongs take!
1. For most Bengalis, they have nothing to do with devotion, and everything to do with celebration. Religion (as it has become) is an organized way to deal with devotees, and the Bengalis are far far away from any sort of blind beliefs.
2. God/Goddess is an image that's alienated from family of our own lives and seen as an authority. To Bengalis, Durga is just a part of our family. She could be termed as the Goddess, but never seen with a God-like image. There's way more love than devotion. It's a very human connection. She's the daughter of the house who's come for Autumn break to her parents house with kids and friends
3. While people outside Bengal may fast as much as they like, Bengalis will continue to feast on Mutton Biriyanis and all sorts of delicious non-veg food (even at Puja premises where organizers often arrange for meals). Had there been any religious angle, things might not have been so simple.
4. Durga Puja as a festival is deeply connected to arts, crafts, music, theater, films ... everything! It's an all-round celebration. Only a very tiny percentage of people would bother to offer prayers. For the rest of us, Durga and the spirit of Durga puja is all in our heart. Even if we offer 'Anjali' (a prayer), our eyeballs hover all over the surrounding beauties in laal-paar-sada-sarees (a beautiful dress that ladies prefer to wear).
5. Durga puja is all-inclusive. Many Muslims in Bengal celebrate it too. Even there are religious Muslims who are the Presidents and Secretaries of Puja committees. No 'religious' festival could ever break these barriers!
6. There are hundreds of government and private awards given for 'Best Puja'. Not a single parameter in judgement relates to the devotion aspect of it. The Best Puja judgement takes into consideration the artistic finesse of the idol-making, the decorations around it, the lights, the sound, the safety measures, the theme, the concept, the social relevance of the theme, etc. It never considers how devotedly people offer prayers. So, devotion doesn't even come in our way of celebrating Durga Puja.
For those who have never witnessed Durga puja in Kolkata but have a lot to comment on it, please do make a visit. Your idea of a festival will change. Our country had no religion, but we thrived on our culture. It's time we pack religions into the sacks and throw them back to the western world (from where it has come) and fall back on our all-inclusive cultural ways of celebrating life once again.

#schizophrenia is one of the severe #mental illnesses that inflicts approx 1% humans globally. The consequences can be disastrous, but the ray of hope is that it has good prognosis if diagnosed early & treated judiciously.
Globally, #Suicides come second only to deaths due to cardiovascular issues in patients with this disorder.

Behind the fame of Kabir Bedi lies a tragedy no father should ever have to endure. 💔
In 1997, Kabir Bedi lost his son, Siddharth, at just 26 years old.
Siddharth was exceptionally bright and studied at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. But his life took a devastating turn when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Kabir and his family tried desperately to help him through his illness. The actor later spoke openly about the emotional turmoil of watching his son struggle and the pain of being unable to save him.
In his memoir, Stories I Must Tell: The Emotional Life of an Actor,Kabir confronted this deeply personal tragedy.
He also spoke about the guilt that followed, admitting that he had tried to prevent his son's death but could not.
The loss came during an already difficult period in his life, when he was also facing serious financial setbacks and professional uncertainty.
For an actor who had achieved international fame, none of that success could protect him from the most devastating pain of his life.
Years later, the wound remains part of his story.
Kabir has spoken about his experience to help people understand the devastating impact of serious mental illness on both the person suffering and their family.
Sometimes, a parent can give everything they have and still be unable to save the child they love.
His story is a reminder that mental illness deserves compassion, understanding and timely support and that families facing it need support, too. ❤️🩹

A man died by #Suicide & everywhere is his video & news meticulously describing the method, his family history, his psychosocial issues, so on and so forth.
Blatant violation of the @WHO suicide reporting guidelines for media professionals. They should be more careful in reporting suicides & stop sensationalising them.
The bottomline: if you are not able to help prevent something, don’t sensationalise it.
