Recognizing the patriotism of a group of schoolchildren in Kerala, the Indian Navy gave them a guided tour of a warship and naval artillery school. Videos of the children celebrating India’s Republic Day and flying the flag outside their huts went viral. In the video, one of the children’s grandmothers raises the tricolor flag on a stick before she leads the children in raising the patriotic slogan “Bharat Mata ki Jai” (Long Live Mother India). Children put up flags outside their cabins due to COVID-19 restrictions and school closures. The children belong to a very ordinary family, and their parents are daily wage workers in Cherpu village, Trisur district, Kerala state.

Students at CNN Government School, accompanied by guardians and parents, were brought to Kochi from Trisur by the Navy. First, they visited the INS Magar, a ship used for amphibious warfare, currently stationed in Kochi. Later, they were taken to the Indian Naval Maritime Museum and the Naval Artillery Training Institute INS Dronacharya. The children also received gifts and souvenirs, in addition to serving a traditional Kerala lunch, known as “sadhya”.

According to INS Dronacharya Commander Commodore VZ Job, hosting the children and their guardians was the Navy’s way of acknowledging the children’s enthusiasm and grandmother’s patriotism. On the sidelines of “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahosav” (75 years of Independence of India), we wanted to organize a visit that would inspire the children and be an unforgettable experience, he said. He also added that it is great to have such patriotic young people that the children will join the Indian Armed Forces when the time comes.

The ship’s commander, Commander Hemant Salunke, welcomed visitors on INS Magar and praised the indomitable spirit of Aminiyamma (the old man seen in the video) and his grandchildren and other children. He also expressed his pleasure to welcome teachers and principals from the CNN School to visit the ship.

“Seeing the video of the children and grandmother raising the flag, I was really touched by their heartfelt patriotism. Seeing their living conditions and thatched huts, I reached out to assure their families that the funds helped build a suitable home. I then learned that the children belonged to two such houses. After pooling my resources and through an online fundraiser, we raised up to Rs 1.6 lakh which will be used to build two new homes for these families Housing. Construction will start tomorrow (Feb 10) and is expected to be completed around mid-May ahead of the monsoon in Kerala,” Major Ravi (Retd) told WION. A retired military officer and ex-NSG commando, Major Ravi is a two-time Presidential Medal of Valor and a well-known director of military-themed commercial films in India.

Amitabh Bachchan: Candid Self-Doubt Confession

Even after five decades of cinematic dominance, Amitabh Bachchan still faces the quiet terrors of the midnight hour. The man who epitomised alpha-masculinity for generations of moviegoers recently made an unexpected confession that shocked his millions of admirers. He continues to have restless nights, locked in a vicious circle of intense self-doubt and crushing work stress.

This revelation is a huge wake-up call for anyone who thinks of him as an invincible acting colossus. It demonstrates that the heavy weight of perfectionism never fully fades, no matter how much celebrity you achieve.

The Haunting Midnight Echoes of Perfectionism

Imagine being a living legend and lying awake at 3 a.m. wondering if your previous performance was a complete failure. Bachchan admitted that he always repeats his sequences in his memory, haunted by the terrible feeling that they “could have been done better.”

This tremendous emotional sensitivity reveals a side of the megastar that the public has rarely seen. Onscreen, we witness the towering demeanour, booming baritone voice, and perfect delivery. But, behind closed doors, he suffers from the same paralysing fear that ordinary people face on a daily basis in the workplace.

Why the Deepest Passion Breeds Internal Chaos

You might ask why a man who has won every major film award is so concerned about delivering a single sentence. True genius is rarely characterised by serenity of mind. For Bachchan, acting is more than a job; it is a sacred, consuming fire that demands flawless excellence every time.

When you care so deeply about your craft, every creative endeavour feels like a high-stakes bet on your entire legacy. This tremendous artistic drive is a two-edged blade that produces amazing art while completely destroying your mental serenity.

The Heavy Price of an Enduring Legacy

Living under the microscope of the public eye for fifty years has a catastrophic psychological impact. Every move Amitabh Bachchan makes is immediately analysed, criticised, or worshipped by countless millions of people.

That amount of tremendous expectation establishes a distinct, invisible prison of performance anxiety. The dreadful anxiety of disappointing his big audience keeps his thoughts racing long after the cameras stop rolling. It turns out that the view from the very top of the mountain is extremely lonely and filled with perpetual emotional danger.

Normalizing the Silent Struggle with Mental Health

Bachchan has done an incredible amount to raise worldwide mental health awareness by publicly exposing his personal struggles with work stress. He has effectively removed the heavy veil of shame that typically surrounds the topic of anxiety, particularly among older generations.

If the ultimate “Angry Young Man” of Indian cinema can freely acknowledge to feeling inadequate, then everyone else has the right to be human as well. It is a welcome reminder that being overburdened by your commitments does not imply weakness.

The Relentless Creative Hunger That Never Sleeps

Finally, this severe self-doubt is the secret fuel that drives Amitabh Bachchan to labour continuously at an age when most people have retired. It’s a curious paradox: his severe inner agony serves as the driving reason behind his legendary longevity.

He refuses to rest on his past accomplishments or rely on his immense celebrity to get by. Every sleepless night reveals a man with the raw, eager heart of a novice. He remains gloriously, devastatingly uneasy about his work, which is precisely what makes him an everlasting force in film.
