In celebrating the triumph of intellect, I extend my warmest congratulations to the brilliant minds at ISRO for the monumental success of Aditya-L1, India’s inaugural solar observatory. This achievement is a shining example of the exceptional intellect and innovative prowess of our scientists, who navigated the complexities of space exploration with unparalleled skill.
Their intellectual brilliance has not only marked a historic moment for India but has also propelled us towards new frontiers of scientific excellence. Hats off to the incredible achievement of the ISRO team!
I’m happy to share a heartfelt milestone from the ADK Jain Eye Hospital family. On our 4th Foundation Day, we proudly unveiled our Premium Wing—a special chapter in our journey toward providing exceptional eye care.
The day was even more remarkable with the gathering of bright minds at ROAD 2023 (Rural Ophthalmology Annual Dialogue), where we delved into insightful discussions about the future of eye care amongst rural communities.
A sincere thank you to our esteemed guests— Dr. Suraj Singh Senjam, Dr. (Prof)Taru Dewan, Dr. (Prof)Shashi Vashisht, Dr. (Prof)Punam Kapur, Dr. (Prof)Mukesh Sharma, Dr. (Prof)Ashok Pathak, Dr. H K Yaduvanshi, Dr. Manoj Yadav, Dr. Amit Kumar, Dr. Pravin Malik and other incredible individuals. Their presence added immeasurable value to the occasion.
This celebration embodies our shared vision for outstanding eye care and our commitment to making a positive impact in the communities we serve. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who played a part in contributing to the ongoing journey of ADK Jain Eye Hospital.
I am delighted to share my personal diary of my teenage interspersed with our 25 year old ‘Diary of Dreams’ at Ullas Trust work with over 1.7 million high school students.
We were searching for a good book for high school students with Indian background which can be easy read with some structured inspiration but did not find one. After lots of persuasion, I could find time to start writing this book with the help of Manju and Padmini. I sent it alongwith Diwali Gift to few friends. They loved the book which encouraged me to publish this book in this post.
The book got developed around power of 5 capacities of teenage mind ie Imagination, Learning, Doing, being effective, being Influencing. In last 25 years, Ullas volunteers help student from 9th grade to write their dream and their role model in a small diary – ‘Diary of Dreams(DOD)’. This process is done in form of DOD workshop facilitated by Polaris, Intellect and Mission Samriddhi volunteers in over 85 districts across India. The book is an outcome of our deep experiences of working with 1.7 million kids.
I am dedicating this book on this Diwali to bring out light of hope, dreams and aspirations to Teenager.

Dinesh Chandra’s recent post sheds light on an initiative that profoundly touched our hearts – Banwasi Seva Ashram in Sonbhadra. This sacred haven has emerged as a beacon of hope, driven by a profound belief in the transformative power of love.
In the past, this region was synonymous with violence and was associated with the Naxalite movement. However, today, the situation has taken a remarkable turn. In some of the villages here, not a single police report has been filed recently, a testament to the positive change that has occurred.
In a world that often seems to believe that violence can only be countered with more violence and that hatred can only be overcome by more hatred, Banwasi Seva Ashram stands as living proof that love possesses the alchemical power to bring about lasting transformation.
I wholeheartedly endorse Dinesh’s invitation to visit this remarkable institution to witness firsthand the profound truth that love has the potential to change destinies. Together, we can make a difference.

Virtue 3 (Uttam Arjava): Simplicity, Straightforward and Integrity
Thoughts, Words and Actions are 3 keywords which form the straight line of straightforwardness. It gets expressed in a negative sense as a word Deceit or Maya.
My own understanding of these words, not necessarily yours.
Three words form the backbone of this virtue – Needs, Desires and Greed. Understanding these words leads to high-performance thinking or strategic decisioning.
My interpretation of scriptural understanding in today’s context.
