Today, we bid farewell to a true pioneer of the arts, Navnindra Behl. From her first steps on stage at the age of three to her commanding presence on our screens, her journey was nothing short of legendary.

As the former Head of the Department of Theatre and Television at Punjabi University, Patiala, she mentored generations of artists, shaping the future of Indian performance.

Whether it was the resilient mother in Maachis, the beloved grandmother in Ishqbaaaz, or her sharp performance in Queen, she brought depth and a "one-of-a-kind voice" to every character.Alongside her husband Lalit Behl, she co-created the memorable Doordarshan series Afsane, leaving an indelible mark on Indian television.

Her filmmaker son, Kanu Behl, remembered her today as his "Titan, faith, and guide". The curtains may have closed, but her "irrepressible smile" and "burning curious eyes" will continue to inspire us through her timeless work.
Rest in peace,

Ma'am. Your contribution to Punjabi culture and Indian cinema is immeasurable.



For those of you who do not know, Lalit and Navnindra Behl were prominent figures in Punjab theatre, with Lalit initiating his career by forming a theatre group in nearby Kapurthala. As a gold medalist in Indian Theatre from Panjab University, Lalit Behl directed numerous stage plays, contributing heavily to the regional theatre scene, which often extended into Jalandhar.

Lives of Teachers 💕✨ show some love 🧡

Is the Future of Education Being Sold Out?

It is a dark day for academia when Universities turn a blind eye to the self-styled corrupt practices of private college managements. We are witnessing a systemic betrayal where profit-hungry boards are bypassing UGC-mandated qualifications to appoint ineligible Principals.

Why is this happening?
To suit their own ends. Management-favoured puppets are installed not for their academic merit or leadership, but to facilitate "compromised" administration.

As a result, Qualified, dedicated educators are forced to work under leadership that lacks the vision or legal standing to protect their welfare. The quality of education plummets. Students suffer. Salaries are not paid on time. Retiral dues get delayed. When a Principal is ineligible, the very validity of degrees and institutional accreditation is put at risk.

Every time a University ignores these violations, it trades its prestige, credibility, and reputation for administrative convenience. Education is not a business; it is a sacred trust. When we allow ineligible persons to take the helm, we sink the ship for an entire generation.

Is there any accountability for University officials who look the other way ? Are Universities compromising Academic Excellence for Administrative silence ? ‼️

Let’s be real—sometimes the hardest part of the day isn't teaching; it's surviving! Surviving in an acrimonious negative environment. What is the one thing that has saved your sanity this week?

To the teacher who stayed late, to the one who listened to a student's long story, and to the one who redesigned their lesson at 10 PM—we see you.

You are the heart of education. Take a moment to recognize your own hard work. Respect yourself. Do not compromise your own education, knowledge and dignity. You deserve it.

For a good educational institution - TEACHER COMES FIRST
