Daily Diary (DD) - Day 365 of 2025

1140hrs:

Countdown to end of 2025: 1 day

So, the Achilles heel in my 20 year struggle and the past year in particular has been my inability to consistently sleep by 2000hrs and get up by 0300hrs. On the few occasions that I did get up at that time, I couldn't generate consistency and thus I must make serious efforts to address this weakness and make amends to the public cause. The next 3 months will remain devoted to public interest, although I will be operating from home in Sehnsa.

True to form, I didn't sleep until 2300hrs and got up just before 0700hrs this morning. A 3 to 4 hour gap or deficiency in my sleeping pattern endures even on the last day of the year.

....

Kuldeep Pandita has written a personal note for my daughter (although her name isn't Iqra but we'll go along with that name)

Dearest Iqra.

I am writing to you on 31.12.2025, the last date of the CE year 2025, to share with you facts of the matter, so that you could give it a place in your mind & heart, whenever you have the chance to read it & that way me shall have celebrated the year ending of the year 2025.

Dear Brother Tanveer Ahmed with an article dedicated to the little angel at your home, so that when she shall grow up she would read it as a letter to her written by her Pandit uncle across the borders, who has walked on this earth in blood and flesh and this will be as a testimony of his love towards the progeny of the civilizational state, narrating her the importance of women in this world, of which Sharada is the epitome.

The Unseen Authority

In a world where identities are often boxed and labelled, women transcend boundaries, embodying compassion, service and strength. The notion that "Ladies are neither Pandit nor Muslim. Ladies are ladies, or they are mothers, sisters, daughters or the husbands of the house", challenges conventional narratives, highlighting women's multifaceted roles.

Women aren't confined to religious or societal labels. They're businesswomen breaking glass ceilings, farm workers feeding nations, shopkeepers weaving local economies and journalists shaping narratives . They're doctors saving lives, drivers navigating cities, engineers building futures and teachers shaping minds.

As administrators, they steer organizations; as coaches and players, they conquer fields. In courts, they're judges and lawyers crafting justice today, women thrive in gig economies, redefining work on their terms.

Ladies are the real "husbands of the home" a powerful metaphor, that is positioning women as the backbone of households. They're decision-makers, providers and guardians of emotional wealth. This isn't about hierarchy; it's about recognizing unseen labour and quiet strength.

Women's roles aren't limited to domestic spheres. They extend compassion and service to society, often without seeking recognition. Their influence ripples through communities, fostering harmony and growth . This perspective reclaims women's narratives from reductionist stereotypes. It acknowledges their agency, celebrating roles that are often overlooked.

In essence, women are the heartbeat of society—multidimensional, resilient and indispensable. Their roles aren't bound by labels; they're defined by love, service and unyielding strength.

Their role in politics is far superior to that of any shrewd masculine politicians that the world could ever produce, for the simple reason that women possess a far more balanced mental capability, which is her greatest gift provided by nature.

Ladies are empowered by nature itself and seldom need any validation from anyone, least from those she gives birth to, be it a man or an idea.

Daughter nothing is impossible for a women to achieve.

With lots of best wishes and Greetings for life.

Your Uncle

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 364 of 2025

0959hrs:

Countdown to end of 2025: 2 days

A pattern even worse than yesterday and the day before. For a number of reasons - including guests coming after 2000hrs - I couldn't get to sleep till beyond 0100hrs this morning, at least 5 hours later than I needed to. I did get up just before 0700hrs though, almost by instinct.

Reparations to the public are merited and I am in the process of designing what shape they can take.

An Important Lesson from British Indian colonial history (Courtesy Qoura )

During British rule, a British officer once slapped an Indian youth across the face.

Instantly, the young Indian struck back with full force, slapping the officer so hard that he fell to the ground.

Shocked and humiliated, the officer wondered: How could an ordinary Indian dare to slap a military officer of an empire on which the sun never sets?

He rushed to his post and demanded strict punishment for the Indian.

But the senior commander calmed him and said,

“He should not be punished — he should be rewarded. As a reward, give him ten thousand rupees.”

The officer shouted in disgust:

“This is not just my insult or yours — it is an insult to the British Queen herself! And you want to reward him?”

The commander replied firmly,

“This is a military order. You will obey it without delay.”

The junior officer had no choice. He went to the Indian youth with ten thousand rupees and said,

“Please forgive me and accept this as a gift.”

The young Indian accepted the money and soon forgot that he had been slapped by a colonial officer on his own land.

Ten thousand rupees was a huge amount in those days. He used the money wisely and within a few years became wealthy and respected in society.

A once ordinary man had now become a prominent figure.

Years later, the same British commander summoned his junior officer and asked,

“Do you remember the Indian who slapped you?”

The officer replied,

“How can I forget that insult?”

The commander said,

“The time has come. Go find him — and in front of everyone, slap him hard.”

The officer protested,

“How is that possible? When he was poor, he dared to strike back. Now that he is rich, he will kill me!”

But the commander insisted,

“Do as I say. This too is an order.”

The junior officer obeyed. He went to the Indian — and slapped him across the face.

But this time, something completely different happened.

The Indian youth did not react. He didn’t even dare to look the officer in the eye.

Confused, the officer returned to the commander.

Seeing his bewildered face, the commander asked,

“Why do you look so surprised?”

The officer said,

“When he was poor, he retaliated without fear. But today, when he is wealthy, he could not even raise his eyes. How is this possible?”

The commander spoke softly,

“The first time, the only thing he had was his honour.

He valued it more than anything, and he fought fiercely to protect it.

But now he did not defend it — because now he has something he values more than his honour: his wealth.

The day he accepted those ten thousand rupees, he sold his dignity for money.

And when a man’s self-respect is sold, his spine bends forever.”

Let us protect our self-respect.

Never bend for position, gifts, or greed.

Stand straight — always.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 363 of 2025

1000hrs:

Countdown to end of 2025: 3 days

A similar pattern to yesterday's cycle. Slept just beyond 2200hrs and got up just beyond 0600hrs. A 3 hour gap at the bottom and a 2 hour gap at the top still persists with 3 days to go. I know I have to have amends, otherwise my slackness will bite public interest.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 362 of 2025

0913hrs:

Countdown to end of 2025: 4 days

Reversed the slide just a tad to 0555hrs this morning, still 2 hours and 55 minutes away from the desired output. Last night there was a temptation to drift to the Premier League football scores and I did, with the sloppy excuse that I didn't get back from an outside dinner till 2200hrs. 

I am at fault for the best part of this year for not being able to achieve the optimum sleeping pattern viz. 2000hrs (8pm) to 0300hrs (3am). I also understand that I will have to make amends to the public.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 361 of 2025

1018hrs:

Countdown to end of 2025: 5 days

I did shift towards bed (in my tent) just after 2000hrs - even with guests still at Maqbool Bhat Shaheed Square - Dadyaal - but I didn't get to sleep till c. 2300hrs (11pm). That is 3 crucial hours of rest that I sacrificed for the sake of Luton Town's most emphatic victory of the season, albeit in the 3rd tier of the professional English football ladder. I did get up at 0311hrs but drifted back to sleep till just after 0700hrs. Thus, I was 4 hours late on the bottom end (morning) and 3 hours late on the top end (evening).

Such luxury with just 5 days to go cannot be afforded.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 360 of 2025

1205hrs:

Countdown to end of 2025: 6 days

Yesterday's lack of sleep did affect me during the day, especially while lifting weights at the gym. Hence, I did crash almost on time by the evening, getting to bed just beyond 2000hrs (8pm) and being fast asleep by 2100hrs (9pm). Yet, despite waking fresh at 0511hrs (still 2 hours and 11 minutes late) I decided to roll on until about 0700hrs. As clear throughout this year, getting to sleep at 2000hrs and getting up at 0300hrs is not easy but I know I will get there - on a consistent basis - imminently.

Yes, there are only 6 days left for me to abide by the people's reference - as matters stand at present - and I shall refrain from delving into what I will do at the turn of the new calendar year.

Today was our 3rd (and final for the foreseeable future) session in the 'Court of the Public' in Dadyaal. We are able to provide 2 versions once again:

Full version:

 

This is the 3rd Awaami Adaalat to be convened in Dadyaal (district Mirpur), as our 3rd phase, following on from the 1st phase in Khuiratta on 15/03/2015

and 2nd phase in Sehnsa, which began on 12/01/2024

This aspect of our independent action-oriented public policy research is now beginning to mature as a direct feedback model to ensure governance is indeed processed from the grassroots level of this society.
