A FATHER BREAKS TOO… BUT IN SILENCE.

Article by Dr Harvinder Mankkar  A father hears everything. He sees everything. He feels everything. Every cry of his child pierces his heart. Every tear his child sheds wounds his soul. Every pain his child goes through becomes a battle he fights within himself. Yet, he stands there silently. Not because he doesn’t care. Not because his heart doesn’t hurt. But because he knows that sometimes, his children need his strength more than they need to see his pain. A mother may cry when her child suffers, and the world sees her tears. But a father’s tears often fall behind closed doors, in the darkness of a sleepless night, when there is no one around to ask him, “Are you okay, Papa?” Because everyone asks a father to be strong, but hardly anyone asks him how much strength it takes to keep standing when his own heart is breaking. Do you know what hurts a father the most? It is not his own suffering. It is watching his child suffer and feeling helpless. It is hearing pain i...

I Still Love the Beautiful World of Childhood

I have always loved childhood. Perhaps there is still a little girl living somewhere inside me, a girl who finds happiness in the laughter of children, feels a deep affection for animals and smiles at the sight of a little paper boat floating in rainwater. As a woman, I have experienced how life gradually changes us. Responsibilities make us stronger, experiences make us wiser, and circumstances sometimes teach us to hide our emotions behind a composed face. Yet, despite everything life has taught me, I have never wanted to lose the innocence that makes childhood so beautiful. I love watching children play. Their laughter is spontaneous, their imagination limitless, and their happiness wonderfully uncomplicated. They can turn an ordinary afternoon into an adventure and transform the simplest things into treasures. Even today, the sight of children making paper boats on a rainy day fills my heart with a special kind of happiness. I remember how a simple sheet of paper, carefully fol...

Dr. Harvinder Mankkar: A Visionary Force Behind the Evolution of Motu Patlu

 Dr. Harvinder Mankkar: A Visionary Force Behind the Evolution of Motu Patlu By Shelja Kapoor Comics Critics  Motu Patlu are far more than two beloved cartoon characters. Over the decades, they have become an enduring part of Indian popular culture and an inseparable part of countless childhoods. Behind their remarkable evolution stands the sustained creative contribution, perseverance, and foresight of Dr. Harvinder Mankkar, whose association with these characters spans nearly five decades. When Dr. Harvinder Mankkar took up the creative responsibility of Motu Patlu, the characters primarily appeared in the pages of the Lotpot comic. At that stage, they were essentially comic-book personalities. Dr. Harvinder Mankkar, however, recognised possibilities far beyond the printed page. His vision was not merely to preserve the characters but to expand their creative universe and introduce them to new generations through emerging forms of visual entertainment. With remarkable foresi...

Dr. Jaswinder Sohal – The Strength of Truth in Politics

     “ My strength is my truth. I want to enter politics, but on my own terms. My mission is to bring back the old Punjab.” These are not just words — they are a declaration of purpose by Dr. Jaswinder Sohal, a woman who sees politics not as a pursuit of power, but as a path of service. At a time when compromise has become common in public life, her statement — “I will do politics on my own terms” — reflects courage, integrity, and leadership. Truth as Her Greatest Power Dr. Sohal believes that a leader’s real strength lies not in position or authority, but in character and honesty. Power may come and go, but trust built on truth remains unshaken. Her vision is clear: Politics must unite people, not divide them. Punjab’s true identity lies in brotherhood, hard work, and cultural pride. Society must be built on values, not on manipulation. Reviving the Spirit of “Old Punjab” For Dr. Sohal, “old Pun...
