At the age of 20, Sindhutai was left for the dead by her husband with a 17-day-old girl child who she had given birth to in a cow shed. She walked to her parent’s house for shelter, but her family turned her away. ⁠

With nowhere else to go and a baby to feed, Sindhutai started begging in trains and on the streets in order to survive. Fearing for her safety and that of her daughter, she spent her nights in cemeteries and cowsheds.⁠
It was during these difficult times that Sindhutai began spending time with orphaned children & realized how difficult life was for them. ⁠
⁠
She adopted around a dozen orphans & took on the responsibility of keeping them clothed & fed,even if it meant begging for longer hours.

And decades later, ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara' lives on in the hearts of every Indian—even those who were born well after the song was telecast.⁠
Produced by ace filmmaker Kailash Surendranath, the song features popular celebrities such as Kamal Haasan, Hema Malini, Sharmila Tagore, and Lata Mangeshkar, among others.⁠

During a speech on January 25, 1966, the father of India's space programme, Vikram Sarabhai, said: ⁠

#ThisDayInHistory #DeathAnniversary #HomiBhabha⁠ Image
“Those of us who had personal contact with Bhabha know that science was an important part of life,but that he was a complete man in the best sense of the term as we understand today.He represented the best in the modern educated world,the best of science, the best of the arts.”⁠
There is perhaps no better description for the father of India's nuclear programme, who was also a painter, a botanist, and an avid classical music enthusiast. ⁠
⁠
Homi Bhabha’s greatest legacy is, perhaps, the institutions he created.

Did you know #BharatRatna #BhimsenJoshi loved automobiles with all his heart?

“Had I not been a classical singer, I would have loved to spend my entire life in a garage fine-tuning a Fiat or a Maruti,” was reportedly his oft-repeated line. Image
On a journey from Mumbai to Pune once, Bhimsen regaled a taxi driver with his music. Oblivious to his popularity, the driver wondered if Bhimsen would know how to fix an engine in case of an emergency.
To his surprise, Bhimsen helped the taxi driver fix the engine when the car later broke down in the middle of the journey.

The legendary singer was also passionate about long drives.
