I just love the way mothers wish mothers on #MothersDay !! More than kids doing so may be,,, haha! So much about today is more than parenting, love and appreciation... cause it is also about sisterhood!! We are beautiful 😊 #MothersDay2023 #womenandlove


It is uplighting when you are speaking to someone whom you are beginning to feel connected with... Sharing of some thoughts niether of you fully understands. And then you find a way together. One such moment taught me... The answers are in our hearts.


Delhi and other states to brace for #heatwave City planners making heat action plans as we speak! Challenge is to address the heat stress in the vast spread of informal settlements across urban cities and towns. Because the poor are disproportionately affected.

I tried to not say but since I am staring at this everyday... #HT @htTweets you were able to identify only 4 of 27 world leaders, who are not men? Seriously? So the world is led by men today and will be so even tomorrow? #HTLS2022 you cannot envision a tomorrow with this lens!

Not only is land a critical asset & key factor of production for the economy, but is also crucible of identity & source of power. Land connections are obvious in #SDGs & #NetZero. This workshop by @Center4Land & @azimpremjiuniv is a great platform to delve into these connections

The last date for application for this unique learning workshop on land governance & development is now extended to 31st Oct 2022. With stay, food & participation fully funded, we look forward to rich diversity among participants.

At the end, it is the way you lived your life. Be mindful of the legacy you wish to leave behind. A legacy of your thoughts, values and courage. A legacy of your character and sense of duty. Choose wisely. #teachings #rip


Each time the #nargis bloomed, And they came home to Dad, He would recite this couplet to me. The flowers and these words are still here, To remind me of the love. ❤️ Shukhriya #Iqbal saab. And #bebeautiful no matter what!

Who wrote this couplet? hazaaron saal nargis apni be-noori pe roti hai badi mushkil se hota hai chaman mein deeda-var paida

Rishabh has trimmed a bonzai and brought it in, While a sunflower from his garden is now facing the front door, He makes his childhood beautiful. #love #gratitude #home #delhi #blessings #littlethings

270422 A year has gone by... No better way to remember Dad than with his poems. This one he was particularly proud of. I read it with him first when I was 11. Today it heals. Published in 1990 in the American #Poetry Anthology by Robert Nelson. #dad #poet #writer #VijayNShankar
