LUCKNOW, July 7 -- A reflective session held at the Police Officers' Mess, Sapru Marg, on Sunday brought together a distinguished gathering to delve into the charm of a slow-paced life. The event, inspired by the book 'The Kishangarh Boy' by retired IPS and former CRPF DG AP Maheshwari , turned into a heartwarming exchange of stories and memories that evoked deep nostalgia. Speakers, including UP minister Asim Arun, Air Marshal Amit Tiwari and others shared insights on how earlier generations, despite limited means, thrived on community living, mutual support and resilience. Anecdotes illustrated how those simpler times built stronger bonds, mental toughness and an innate connection with nature. While modern life is marked by digital isolation and rapid pace, the session stressed the need to revisit the grounding values of the past. It highlighted how ancient lifestyles-minimalism, yoga, and natural living-are re-emerging in modern discourse under new labels. The protagonist of the book, Prem, exemplifies a journey from hardship to success, revealing how inner transformation and value-based living shape character. Discussions also touched upon gender biases of the past and the evolving relevance of old wisdom. Speakers emphasised adopting time-tested practices for holistic modern living. HTC...
