The news about a boy's attempt to cycle 300-km to spread the message of world peace will soothe the hearts of a troubled nation, and the world.
Inspired with the motto “cycling my passion, world peace my aim,” Shubham Narayan Sakhe has begun his cycling tour to Goa from Belagavi on Sunday evening.
Today, our country is disturbed on various counts - the impact of the Coronavirus, farmers' agitation and a host of other issues. In such a scenario, a 17-year old youngster embarking on a 300-kms cycling tour to share a message of 'world peace' is heart warming.
It's time the people of our country and the whole world wake up to the reality around us and stop the fire threatening to engulf all. If we are to see peace in the world, it is important that we have peace in our hearts first.
Human as we are, it seems like asking for too much, but there is no other way.
