Faith means complete trust or confidence in someone or something. Life is full of surprises and twists. There is no guarantee that we will get up next day morning after we go to sleep.

Faith is like an inner voice that keeps reminding us about the positive outlook of our life. This imaginary story emphasizes the importance of #faith.

That which is not destined, will not happen despite every effort. What is destined to happen is bound to happen. This is certain. Therefore, the best course is to remain silent."

A classic case of Centre-State cooperation:

Punjab is governed by a "opposition" party. Their CM vowed not one grain of wheat would be wasted in the Khariff crop. Punjab & Central Govt worked in tandem to harvest the crop.

Fleets of combined harvesters were mobilised and escorted in convoys from elsewhere to Punjab's fields. FCI was mobilised. 2000 odd *additional* mandis were created to reduce
