Read an article from Indian express and I don’t know why I find it tragic and comic at same time. The pioneers of mandir are being asked to stay back because of Age. After Champat Rai said Advani, Joshi were ‘requested not to come’ for Temple consecration given their age, VHP invited both veterans for the ceremony. Awwwww!! How caring Modi and his team is to put them in advisory committee since 2014. I think they are suggesting them to stay out of limelight!l 🤷‍♀️

From news: On being asked whether Advani and Joshi would attend the consecration function, Rai said: “Advani ji ka hona anivarya hai, aur hum yeh bhi kahenge ki who kripya na ayen. (While Advani ji’s presence is essential, we would also like to say that he should not come).”
Rai said, “Advani ji ko dekha hai ki nahi? Advani ki aayu mein aap pahunch payenge ki nahi. Dr Joshi se meri swayam varta hui hai. Main phone pe kehta raha aap mat aaiye, aur who jidd karte rahe main aaunga… Main baar baar nivedan karta raha ki Guruji aap mat aayiye, aapki aayu, sardi…. apne ghutne badalwayen hain (Have you all not seen Advani? Will you be able to reach Advani’s age? I spoke with Joshi on the phone. I kept telling him don’t come, but he was adamant and kept saying that he would come. I kept requesting him not to come, considering his age, cold… He has got his knees replaced),” Rai said.
The Ram Temple Trust general secretary also said preparations are in full swing for the consecration event, which will be attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Republican Presidential aspirant Vivek Ramaswamy has vowed to pull out of the Colorado primary ballot unless former President Donald Trump is reinstated following the state’s historic court ruling deeming him ineligible for office. He demanded other republicanshat Ron DeSantis, Chris Christie, and Nikki Haley to do the same so Donald Trump, the former US President and Republican frontrunner for the US elections, was disqualified from Colorado’s presidential primary ballot on Tuesday. In an unprecedented ruling, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Trump is ineligible to serve as US president because of his actions inciting the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. What this means? means, Trump might not appear on the ballot in Colorado for that vote and he can still able to run in other Republican primaries, the Guardian reported. The Colorado court ruling does not directly address the general election.
However, Colorado temporarily stayed its ruling until January 4, which would allow the US Supreme Court until then to decide whether to take the case, the Guardian reported.
Meanwhile, the Trump campaign said it will appeal to the US Supreme Court against the Colorado ruling.However, Colorado temporarily stayed its ruling until January 4, which would allow the US Supreme Court until then to decide whether to take the case, the Guardian reported.However, Colorado temporarily stayed its ruling until January 4, which would allow the US Supreme Court until then to decide whether to take the case, the Guardian reported.

Met Ajeet singh today in Banaras founder of Guria India.. the man is a real legend! I know him (interacting over the phone) since 2019 but met today for the first time. In 1988, Ajeet Singh initiated Guria India by adopting three children from the red light area. His college activism and commitment to social justice, influenced by constitutional principles, led to the establishment of Guria to combat human trafficking.
Ajeet has engaged with academia and the international community, delivering talks at prestigious institutions worldwide. Notable recognitions include the Nani A. Palkhivala Civil Liberties Award and the Nari Shakti Award presented by the President of India. Ajeet’s innovative strategies, such as creating a sustainable child prostitution-free red light area in Varanasi, showcase his dedication. Awards like the Life OK Channel Lifetime Achievement Award and being named ‘Man of the Year’ by The Week Magazine underscore his impact. Ajeet’s work has received acclaim from various platforms, including CNN-IBN, KBC Special Karamveer episode, and exposure visits/internships from prestigious institutions globally. Ajeet actively contributed to legislation on human trafficking and played a crucial role in committees such as the Inter-ministerial committee and NHRC SOP. He has been involved in advisory roles, including the Central Nodal Agency for combating trafficking and the Core Group on Human Trafficking at the National Human Rights Commission.

The China-Central Asia Summit carries immense significance as China emerges as a super power on the global stage. With this emergence comes both opportunities and potential threats that demand attention. The withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan has made the way for a southern trade route, enabling China to establish stronger connections through Central Asia, Iran, and Europe. This is a shift in the world order and the rise of China as a major player in land-based trade and geopolitics.
It is important for the international community to understand and carefully assess this new reality. China's growing influence brings about a reevaluation of traditional power dynamics, necessitating a nuanced understanding and proactive engagement. The China-Central Asia Summit serves as a platform to address these changes, fostering dialogue, cooperation, and regional integration.
In light of China's ascent, it becomes essential for all countries to avoid underestimating its potential impact. Recognizing the evolving dynamics and engaging in constructive discussions, that can help shape a balanced and mutually beneficial future in a world as China's influence continues to grow.. # #

Should india allow Talibani diplomatic representation in New Delhi? (More on www.Instagram.com/contactriki).
The Afghan embassy in New Delhi is still staffed by diplomats appointed by the Ashraf Ghani government and new Talibani government in Afghanistan would like to change that and appoint their diplomat. Recently India announced $24.3 million (Rs 200 crore) for Afghanistan in the Union Budget 2023-24. Humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan after the Taliban seized power, India has delivered, 60 tonnes of medicines, 40,000 metric tonnes of wheat, 5,00,000 Covid vaccines, winter clothing, and 28 tonnes of disaster relief to the country. Although it might seem like a good political move for India to continue moving forward, amid Talibans deteriorating relations with Pakistan but here is the moral dilemma, the recognition to a regime that is known for its disregard for human rights, oppression of women, democracy, and inclusivity would not only be a violation of India's values and principles but would also set a dangerous precedent for other countries that may be tempted to support the Taliban regime. India has always been a strong advocate for democratic values, human rights, and the rule of law. Allowing Taliban to take over the Afghan embassy in New Delhi would send a message that India is willing to compromise on these values in pursuit of diplomatic expediency. As for the matter of Kashmir an year ago Taliban announced that Kashmir is India’s internal problem. But when you allow gun-toting, misogynistic gangsters and criminals to take up homes in your own neighborhood, can you really believe that they will stay away from your family and cause you no trouble?

Instagram www.Instagram.com/contactriki/. As I take my first sip of caffeine this morning, I can't help but think about the delicate balance between free will, routine, and creative passion in life. Do you ever wake up and feel like you're stuck in a routine? You wake up, go to work, come home, and then do it all over again the next day. It can be easy to feel like life is passing you by, especially as you get older. You may think you are free but are you really free? Can you take spontaneous step and do something you always wanted to do by breaking this pattern.
When you are stuck, It can be easy to feel like you're not really living, that you're just going through the repetitive motions, months after months. I sure feel that! So I sometimes try to find joy in little things, as small as curling my hair by sleeping with hair rollers on! an old school beauty trick that I've always wanted to try. This morning my caffeine time, got me thinking about how easy it is to get stuck in a routine, that can be comforting and help us feel like we're in control, but that’s a trap and there isn’t a real free will
here.
That said, we cannot disagree that routines are important and building blocks of our lives, so what is the way out? to not feel that some part of you is dead but life is still running on auto pilot.
Just keep your passion alive -poetry, dance, singing, science, whatever your creating side or your soul long for, don’t you ever let it die!

This incredible alpine shelter on Monte Cristallo, Auronzo di Cadore, Italy, was built during World War I at a height of 2760 meters. So unique yet isolated!

During my trip to India last year, I met this beautiful woman from Mewar. She had grand kids and a big family. When I asked her story, she gave me this compassionate motherly look. She said her story is simple and if I am visiting Rajasthan, it’s worth knowing story of Tarabai, Karmavati, Jawaharbai, Mirabai, Padmawati, Panna Dhai and Hadi Rani. This list was overwhelming and I was little embarrassed not knowing all of them. On my request she narrated me story of Hadi Rani (that I have never heard of), this was quiet exciting listening directly from a woman of Mewar. For those who don’t know..Hadi Rani was a daughter of a Hada Chauhan Rajput married to a (commander) Chundawat in Mewar who sacrificed herself to motivate her husband to go to war. When Maharana Raj Singh I (1653–1680) of Mewar called his commander to join the battle against Aurangzeb, the commander, having married only a few days earlier hesitated about doing so. He asked his wife, Hadi Rani, for some memento to take with him to the battlefield. And Thinking that she was an obstacle to his duty for Mewar, she cut off her head and put it on a plate. A servant covered it with a cloth and presented it to her husband. Devastated but nevertheless proud, the commander tied the memento around his neck by its hair. He fought bravely, making the Aurangzeb forces flee, and after his victory, he got to his knees and cut his neck, having lost the desire to live. How crazy that sounds? Makes me wonder why would these women go this far…was there no other alternate? For more follow www.instagram.com/contactriki/
