In the last few years, we’ve all become more passionate about our culture, traditions, and history. And honestly, that’s a good thing. Knowing where we come from is important. Our roots matter. Our heroes matter. But here’s a serious question, while we keep looking back, do we know where we are heading? Everywhere  from street corners to Parliament, we keep hearing names like Maharana Pratap, Shivaji Maharaj, Rana Sanga… Great warriors, true legends. They should be respected. But how are we showing that respect? By just shouting their names in speeches? Or by actually living by their values, courage, honesty, and standing up for the people?

In Parliament, the temple of our democracy, instead of talking about jobs, rising prices, farmers’ struggles, women’s safety, and broken hospitals, One recent incident that comes to mind is when Parliament — yes, the temple of democracy — spent time discussing a comedian’s vulgar jokes.

  We had a long stay here—almost a month—and it was truly a wonderful experience worth sharing. You don’t need to check the clock at Vaidyaratnam. At exactly 6 AM, there’s a gentle knock on your door, and there stands Gopi, ready with your choice of morning coffee or tea. Then comes a peaceful walk in the herbal garden, surrounded by colorful flowers, chirping birds, and a cool, refreshing breeze. You meet fellow patients—some enjoying the morning air, others on video calls with loved ones—all with a smile of satisfaction, feeling the relief from their pain. The nurses here are both friendly and firm, ensuring you never miss your medicines. They appear like clockwork, reminding you to take them before meals, after meals, or whenever needed. And just when you think you have a moment to yourself, there’s another check-up—BP, blood work, or a quick consultation. Your day gets busy with treatments from highly skilled and humble therapists. Their expertise is impressive, and their dedic...
