found in the KLM in-flight magazine. This one made my heart smile. It’s great to see companies sharing the simple stories, and portraying minorities in a positive light.

“There is a word in Punjabi that is enormously evocative and emotive for most Punjabis: watan. It is difficult to translate: it can mean home, country, land - all and any of them. When a Punjabi speaks of his or her watan, you know they are referring to something inexpressible, some longing for a sense of place, of belonging, of rootedness.” - Urvashi Batalia

"This solitude is better than
being together with thousands.
This freedom is sweeter than
owning the whole world.
This talking with God, even if
only for a very short moment,
is better than anything". - Rumi

Kehte hain ke gham main sabh shad jaate hain akhir main. voh lok galat kehte hain.

mera rabb toh abhi bhi mere paas hai.
