In my 12th Geography, I did a project on how USA Policy of sanctions on Iraq ruined the entire generation of children of Iraq. My prayers with the children of Iran. Western nations who are so protective of their own children, but they have no empathy for the children of Asia.

@immgkj_ Watch it!

I couldn't convince myself to watch this idiot movie. Never.

@PushkarLfc @marlboroadvv I'm so sorry. I can't imagine living without a mother at such a young age.

@marlboroadvv I relate to this scene very much. I had to live with maternal grandparents when my mother died. I was 5 at that time. Those 2 years had gave me enough childhood trauma. I don’t see this movie for this same scene. It’s just too much. Too much.

the fact that ishaan was fighting all his battles alone without being understood. this traumatized me as a child

@Varunra65924691 @marlboroadvv Ishaan has a learning disability, not a mental health issue. Yes, due to harsh treatment from his father and previous teachers, he almost developed a mental health issue. But it's a film and a sensitive teacher arrives. In real life, such children are alone.

@marlboroadvv just showed how mental health is treated in india 😭

@marlboroadvv Most children with learning disabilities fight their battles alone. Being a female child makes it worse.

@vaishnavasadhu2 She was a great singer.

The passing of Asha Bhosle fills my heart with a profound sense of loss. For more than seven decades, she enriched Indian cinema with her extraordinary voice, bringing depth, emotion, and joy to countless songs.

@Masterji_UPWale Good story.

@Dipdil Fictional

My wife and I were having dinner at a restaurant in Bengaluru. There was a young couple sitting next to us. You could tell it was a special night. We overheard bits of their conversation..New job, finally some stability, something worth celebrating. They looked genuinely happy. Then their bill came. The card didn’t go through. They tried another. Declined. You could see the shift instantly. The smiles faded. They started quietly discussing what to remove, what they could actually afford. My wife looked at me. I didn’t say anything. Just called the waiter and asked him to add their bill to ours. We told him not to mention us. Just say it’s taken care of. We left before they could turn around. Didn’t want a thank you. Just wanted them to finish their night the way it began. We forgot about it. Three years later, a letter arrived at our home. Somehow, they had tracked us down. The waiter remembered us. Helped them find us. The letter said they were getting married. That night, the one we barely remembered… was their first proper date after months of struggle. Their first moment of relief after a long, difficult phase. They wrote: “Someone paying our bill made us believe that good people still exist. We carried that feeling through everything that came after.” They invited us to their wedding. We didn’t know them. But we went anyway. They introduced us to everyone.. “These are the people who showed us kindness when we needed it the most.” We danced at their wedding. We teared up during their Vows. Somehow, we felt like family. Today, they have a baby. They send us pictures, festival wishes, little updates from their life. And we’re a part of their story… because of one small moment. Sometimes family isn’t blood. It’s just people who chose to see you. #SundayStories

Asha Bhosle’s Sacred Offering at Anandpur Sahib, 2001 At the Anandpur Sahib function in 2001, held at the Virasat-e-Khalsa memorial, Asha Bhosle’s rendering of Gurbani left an impression that went far beyond the ordinary bounds of a ceremonial performance. In that sacred setting, at the birthplace of the Khalsa and amid commemorations linked to three centuries of its history, her voice acquired a deeply devotional power. Since the lyrics were drawn from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, this was not merely Shabad singing in a musical sense, but an expression of Gurbani rendered with reverence and humility. That forenoon, she rendered “Mere Sahib, Mere Sahib” (मेरे साहिब, मेरे साहिब) in the tune of “Nanak Naam Jahaj Hai” (ਨਾਨਕ ਨਾਮ ਜਹਾਜ਼ ਹੈ / नानक नाम जहाज़ है), drawing together the worlds of film music and Gurbani-inspired devotion in a single, seamless act of homage. The melodic line, already deeply familiar in Punjabi households, resonated with renewed emotion in Asha Bhosle’s voice and held the sangat spellbound. For those present, it was a reminder that music, when wedded to faith, can transcend performance and become prayer. Her participation thus symbolised a rare confluence of artistic greatness and humility, where a celebrated playback singer stood before the Guru and the Panth simply as a devotee.

@kbssidhu1961 Sweet Lady.

@anishmoonka @sanjayuvacha Brave lady!

Asha Bhosle was cast out by her own family at 16. She’d eloped with her elder sister Lata Mangeshkar’s secretary, a man twice her age. The marriage turned abusive. She walked out with two children and a third on the way, returning to a family that barely wanted her back. To survive, she took every recording job the top singers rejected. In Indian cinema, actors don’t sing their own songs. Singers record in a studio, and the actors lip-sync on camera. In the 1950s, the big films went to established voices. Bhosle got the leftovers: B-grade soundtracks, cabaret numbers, songs for the villain’s girlfriend. Between 1948 and 1957, she recorded more songs than any other singer in the country, but almost none of them mattered. Her break came from composer O.P. Nayyar, who gave her the lead songs in Naya Daur (1957). For the first time, she was the voice of the heroine. By the mid-1960s, she’d partnered with a young composer named R.D. Burman. Their first major collaboration nearly didn’t happen. When Bhosle heard the westernized dance number “Aaja Aaja” for Teesri Manzil (1966), she told Burman she couldn’t sing it. He offered to rewrite the music. She refused, rehearsed for ten days, and delivered one of the decade’s biggest hits. That professional partnership became a marriage in 1980. Burman died in 1994. In 1981, composer Khayyam asked her to sing two notes lower than usual for the film Umrao Jaan. The ghazals (traditional Urdu love songs) she recorded won her India’s National Film Award and shattered the idea that she could only do pop. At 62, she recorded the Rangeela soundtrack with A.R. Rahman. At 79, she made her debut as a film actress. Guinness World Records certified her in 2011 as the most recorded artist in music history. She put out over 11,000 songs in more than 20 languages across eight decades, and no other recording artist on Earth has come close. Her voice crossed borders in ways almost no Indian artist had before. Cornershop wrote “Brimful of Asha” about her in 1997, and a Fatboy Slim remix sent it to No. 1 in the UK. The Black Eyed Peas sampled her vocals. The Kronos Quartet, a classical string ensemble, recorded an album of R.D. Burman compositions with her and earned a Grammy nomination. Earlier this year, at 92, she appeared on a Gorillaz track. She outlived the people closest to her. Her daughter Varsha died in 2012 at 56. Her son Hemant died of cancer in 2015. Her sister Lata, the most famous singer in Indian history, died in 2022, also at 92. After Varsha’s death, Bhosle told reporters the pain would stay with her until her last breath, but added: “You should always laugh with others but cry alone.” Asha Bhosle died today in Mumbai at 92. She recorded her first song at 10, her last collaboration at 92, and spent the 82 years in between proving that the woman they once threw out could outlast every voice that came before or after her.

@centerforasian You know nothing.

@Dipdil Total bullshit Sindhis are Sindhis and Sikhs are Punjabi’s pls do not spread this misinformation Sindhis are Baniyas we are warriors class

#Sikhs The nameless trolls who are irked by my tweet saying that Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh is a Sindhi Sikh, wait till I tell you that Indian Legend Kapil Dev is also a Nanakpanthi Sikh. Kapil Dev, who is a Punjabi himself, even wrote a book, We The Sikhs.

@SinghStar001 @Ramandeep_Bajwa Again, you live with your view and let us live with our view. Live and let live! 🙏

@Dipdil @Ramandeep_Bajwa What’s your "version" then? There is no Sikhi where Guru Gobind Singh isn't the Guru and Khalsa isn't the vision. You can't accept Guru Nanak & reject Guru Gobind; he is the 10th Nanak himself. The description of Sikhi is set by the Gurus, not by anyone's personal preferences.

Kesh came only in 1699. Before that Sikhs didn't keep long hair. Before Guru Gobind, none of the preceding 9 gurus insisted on Sikhs to have kesh or the other 4 items of faith. So it is not compulsory to have kesh to be called a Sikh.

@KhatriVoice1 What is ICM?

Priyanka Chopra's father, Late Dr. Ashok Chopra released an album on Sikh Shabads, which he sang himself. Her family is a typical Punjabi Hindu Khatri family who regard Sikhism as brotherly faith.

@SinghStar001 @Ramandeep_Bajwa You follow your path. We will follow our own path, and our description of Sikhi is different.

@Dipdil @Ramandeep_Bajwa Sikhs believe all 10 Gurus carry the same Jot (Light). From Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind, the light is one. Therefore, Guru Gobind's command to take Amrit is Guru Nanak’s own command. Rejecting the Khalsa vision is rejecting Guru Nanak’s path. Stop trying to separate the Gurus.

@Ramandeep_Bajwa 🙏

@SinghStar001 @Ramandeep_Bajwa You can not define Sikhi as you wish. Sikhi entered Sindh, and people embraced Sikhi there much before Khalsa was born. You can not dictate people on how they should be Sikhs. You are not our GURU.

@Ramandeep_Bajwa @Ramandeep_Bajwa If Kesh isn’t mandatory, why did Guru Gobind Singh command ALL Sikhs to take Amrit? Because the legacy of all 10 Gurus culminates in the Khalsa vision. Reject the Khalsa vision, and you reject that legacy. Sehajdhari is a stage, but Khalsa is the destination.

@ShubhMSingh Sikh is a seeker. Sikhi is not based on the belief system.

@Dipdil There are many sindhis who follow the teachings of guru nanak. They have their own gurudware also. A true Sikh is baptized khalsa. Why the confusion

@Gulzar_here @bandaofrabb @Muhamma15382 Tusi sambhalo tohfe nu!

@bandaofrabb Punjabi is a dehati language, it's spoken by peasants. Sikh popularized it through pop-music doesn't make it an urban language. Urdu worked as a sociopolitical language in Administration. Urdu is a calm language as opposed to noisy punjabi.

Punjabi is the most spoken language in Pakistan, yet it was never properly supported in schools or official work. Urdu was prioritised, and Punjabi was sidelined. When a state ignores its own majority language, decline is inevitable this is the result of Urdufication.

@CirdanNayak19 That is because of people like you who do not accept the Truth.

@Dipdil Kapil Dev is still a Hindu. Respect for Sikhi is very common among Hindu Khatris of Punjab.
