I am returning the gold necklace gifted to my wife at our wedding and the kurta-pyjama gifted to me during Durga Puja by @MamataOfficial. I remain grateful for the gesture, but in view of recent events and as a matter of personal conscience , appropriate to return these gifts.

Just yesterday I heard this song over half a dozen times and every time I hear it, I am awestruck at the rendition of the song by lataji. All lata distractors have to just listen to this song to acknowledge her greatness. Haqeeqat, 1964, directed by Chetan Anand, with music by Madan Mohan and lyrics by Kaifi Azmi. This was Chetan Anand's first film with Madan Mohan. Anand was so pleased with its music that he chose Madan Mohan for all his future productions, till the music director passed away in 1975. There was one exception in this period, "Aakhri Khat" (1966), which was composed by Khayyam because Madan Mohan was not available at that time. Chetan Anand and Madan Mohan's last film together was "Sahib Bahadur" (1976).Kaifi Azmi also became a steady member of Chetan Anand's films during this period. Debut movie of Priya Rajvansh.

His name is Harekala Hajabba. For decades he has sold oranges from a small cart near the bus stand in Mangaluru, Karnataka. He earns around a hundred and fifty rupees a day. He has never been to school and cannot read or write. By every measure the world uses, he is a poor, unlettered fruit seller. One day, sometime in the 1990s, a foreign couple stopped at his cart and asked him, in English, the price of his oranges. He could not understand them and could not answer. They walked away. The moment did not anger him. It shamed him. Then it changed him. He decided that no child in his village should ever have to stand there the way he had, unable to understand a simple question, locked out by language and the lack of a school. His village, Newpadpu, did not have one. The nearest school was about seven kilometres away. So an illiterate orange seller earning a hundred and fifty rupees a day set out to build a school. He saved his coins, approached officials and donors, and donated his own land. In the year 2000, the school opened with twenty-eight children in a place that had never had one. Today that school teaches up to Class 10 and has around a hundred and seventy-five students. Children from his village now study in classrooms he helped build from the price of oranges. People began calling him Akshara Santha, the saint of letters. In 2020, the Government of India awarded him the Padma Shri, one of the nation’s highest civilian honours. He walked up barefoot, wearing a plain white dhoti, to receive it. He said it was not his award. It belonged to the school. He still sells oranges and has said he wants to use whatever he earns and receives to build a college next. A man who could not answer one question in English made sure thousands of children after him would never be left speechless the same way. Follow for stories India deserves to remember.
