Today, our hearts are heavy.

Our team brought into our shelter a man suffering from advanced oral cancer. Pain had consumed his body, and loneliness had exhausted his soul. He had been abandoned in the premises of because his family was no longer able to care for him.

For many months, he remained there alone — with no one to comfort him, no hand on his forehead, no voice asking how much pain he was in. People passed by every day, but very few truly saw his suffering.

When we approached him, there was deep helplessness in his eyes. In a trembling voice, he said only one thing:

“Please take me with you… I do not want to die alone.”

Those words broke our hearts.

We brought him to .
Perhaps we cannot cure his disease.
Perhaps we cannot add many more days to his life.
But we can ensure that the time he has left is filled with dignity, compassion, and human warmth.

Today, he has a clean bed, food to eat, care for his wounds, and most importantly — he is no longer alone.

Sometimes, people suffer more from abandonment than from illness itself.
And sometimes, simply holding someone’s hand becomes the greatest act of humanity.

Please keep him in your prayers, so that whatever time remains in his journey may be filled not with pain, but with peace, love, and human kindness. 🙏

Today, as we remember the birthday of Capt TPS Gill, memories return not as distant echoes, but as living emotions carried in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. Some individuals leave behind achievements, some leave stories, but a few rare souls leave behind a presence so profound that even time cannot erase it. Capt TPS Gill was one such soul.

For many, he was an officer of exceptional capability and discipline. For others, he was a mentor, a brother, a confidant and a friend who stood unwaveringly beside them during life’s storms. Yet beyond every title and accomplishment, what truly defined him was his humanity.

Listening to the heartfelt memories shared by his friends and colleagues reveals the true measure of the man he was. Their words are not formal tributes; they are pieces of life lived together — moments of guidance, compassion, loyalty and deep emotional connection.

One friend remembered how Gill gently but firmly changed the direction of his life during difficult training days, refusing to let homesickness or self-doubt defeat him. Another recalled his extraordinary generosity and the quiet way he supported friends without ever seeking acknowledgment. Whether arranging help during emergencies, offering emotional strength during hardship, or simply opening his heart and home to others, TPS Gill lived with a rare spirit of selflessness.

What stands out repeatedly in these recollections is his ability to see goodness in people. He never measured friends by their shortcomings. Instead, he accepted them with understanding and valued their virtues, however small they might have been. In a world where relationships often become conditional, his friendships remained unconditional and enduring.

Many who served with him remember his fierce pride in his institution and comrades, but equally his humility and fairness towards everyone around him. He commanded respect not through authority alone, but through character. His leadership was rooted in empathy, integrity and quiet strength.

Even the smallest memories shared today carry immense emotional weight — standing together on ships at sea, shared homes in Arjun Vihar, emotional airport farewells during heavy rains, conversations over years of service, and dreams of settling together one day in Dhuri. These are not merely memories of events; they are memories of belonging, trust and lifelong brotherhood.

One line written by his dear friend captures the depth of this loss and love perfectly:

“HUM KABHI TUMHE NA BHULA PAYENGE DOST.”

Indeed, some friendships transcend time, distance and even death.

Today, the legacy of Capt TPS Gill continues to live on through the compassionate work of and the Capt TPS Gill Memorial Care and Support Home, where care, dignity and humanity are offered to those suffering in silence. It is perhaps the most fitting tribute to a man whose life was built upon compassion and service to others.

Birthdays after loss are never easy. They carry both gratitude and grief — gratitude for having known such a person, and grief for the emptiness left behind. Yet perhaps the greatest comfort lies in knowing that lives like his never truly end. They continue in every life touched, every act of kindness inspired, and every memory lovingly preserved.

Today, as family, friends and countless well-wishers remember him with moist eyes and folded hands, one truth becomes clear: Capt TPS Gill may no longer walk among us physically, but his spirit continues to guide, comfort and inspire.

Happy Birthday, Dear TPS.

You are deeply loved, profoundly missed, and forever remembered. 🌹🙏

A 24-year-old cancer patient in China made a heartbreaking request on a food delivery app — not for food, but for someone to sit with her for two hours. 💔

Feeling lonely during chemotherapy, she asked for companionship. One delivery rider accepted, visited her at the hospital, and shared her story with other riders.

Soon, more couriers began showing up with flowers, snacks, books, and small gifts just to keep her company. One even traveled nearly three hours to see her.

What started as a simple request became a beautiful “love relay” that helped her smile, eat, and open up again.

Sometimes, the kindness of strangers can heal more than we imagine. ✨

🌼 A Tribute to Usha Mohanti

Some souls do not just live a life — they become a source of light for countless others. Usha Mohanti was one such soul.

For rural Jharkhand, where access to compassionate healthcare is often limited, Usha ji stood like a pillar of strength. Through her tireless dedication to palliative care, she brought dignity, comfort, and hope to those walking the most difficult journeys of life. She did not just serve patients — she held their hands, listened to their pain, and ensured that no one felt alone in their final moments.

At Kosish, she was more than a team member — she was the heart of the mission. Her compassion shaped lives, her courage inspired action, and her humility reminded us what true service means.

Her absence leaves a silence that words cannot fill, but her legacy continues in every life she touched, every smile she restored, and every moment of care she gave so selflessly.

Today, we don’t just mourn her loss — we honour a life lived with purpose, grace, and boundless compassion.

🕊 Usha ji, your work will continue to guide us. Your spirit will forever live in the hearts of those you healed and inspired.

Rest in peace. You will always be remembered.🌹

Today was an incredibly emotional day—one that shook us to the core.

From Laxmi Bagh, Dhuri, we rescued a frail and elderly man who had been living in conditions of captivity for the past one and a half years. We were informed about his heartbreaking situation by Didar Singh Ji.

Our team from Capt. TPS Gill Memorial Care and Support Home, along with our founder Avtar Singh Cheema Ji and Manager Sukhdev Dass Ji, immediately rushed to the spot. What we witnessed there was devastating. Seeing his condition made our hearts tremble—humanity itself felt ashamed in that moment.

With the support of the Municipal Committee and local neighbors, we approached City Police Station Dhuri and filed a formal complaint. After their signatures, a DDR copy was issued, and following due legal process, we were able to safely rescue the elderly man and bring him to our center in village Bhadalwad.

The first thing we did was give him a warm bath and attend to his hygiene and care. As we looked at him, our eyes filled with tears—but there was also a quiet sense of relief that he was finally safe.

We pray to Waheguru that no human being should ever have to endure such suffering. Serving humanity is the greatest service of all. Let us come together to ensure that no elderly person is ever left alone, helpless, or forgotten.

🙏 Waheguru Ji Mehar Karan 🙏

Palliative Peace Branch and Extension, Capt TPS Gill Memorial Care & Support Home, Village Bhadalwad, Rural Punjab, has initiated a brand new and perhaps first-of-its-kind Respite Care service for nearly 35 villages.

Respite Care is a compassionate support service that provides temporary relief to families and caregivers who are looking after persons with chronic illness, disability, or special needs. It offers short-term day care, supervision, therapeutic support, and emotional assistance, allowing exhausted family members time to rest, attend to personal responsibilities, or recover physically and mentally, while ensuring their loved one remains safe, cared for, and dignified.

We are humbled to begin this selfless initiative with 13-year-old Khushpreet Kaur, who has been living with late onset cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder caused by injury or damage to the developing brain, affecting movement, muscle coordination, posture, speech, and at times behavior and emotional well-being. In Khushpreet’s case, the condition has brought many challenges to her young life.

Her story is one of pain, but also of hope. Having lost her mother in infancy and living in difficult circumstances, including neglect and abuse due to an alcoholic father, she came under the care of her aged paternal grandparents. With advancing age, frailty, and medical comorbidities, they are no longer able to manage her needs as they once did.

After surveying more than 17 villages, we identified several patients and families in urgent need of daycare support and caregiver relief. This inspired us to begin this initiative, starting with Khushpreet, who is now receiving structured support at our rural center—initially on a two-days-on and one-day-off schedule. We have also facilitated psychiatric consultation and initiated treatment aimed at improving her emotional and behavioral well-being.

The response from villagers has been overwhelming. This humble initiative has received immense applause, with more people stepping forward to help, volunteer, and seek support. It has reaffirmed our belief that community-based palliative and supportive care can transform rural lives.

What began with one child has opened a path for many more.

With collective compassion, we hope this Respite Care model becomes a lifeline for vulnerable families across rural Punjab.

My Journey in a Bus

My journey in the bus, from the quiet lanes of Bhadalwad—home to Palliative Peace—to the restless roads of Chandigarh, felt like carrying a piece of every life we serve. As the bus slowly left the village behind, my heart stayed back for a moment—with the patients, the silences, the prayers whispered in corners of simple rooms.

Through the window, fields faded into highways, and peace gave way to noise. Yet within me, both worlds walked together. I saw reflections of familiar faces in strangers—the tired, the hopeful, the ones waiting to be heard. Each passenger felt like a reminder that suffering does not belong to one place; it travels, it waits, and it asks for compassion everywhere.

Every stop felt like a pause in destiny. Some people stepped down, some climbed in, just like lives that come into our care—some healed, some held till the end, all loved without condition. In that moving bus, I felt the quiet truth of our work: we cannot stop pain, but we can soften it; we cannot change fate, but we can change how someone feels within it.

As Chandigarh drew closer, I did not feel distance from Bhadalwad—I felt purpose. Hope sat beside me, steady and calm. The road ahead may be long, uncertain, and demanding, but Palliative Peace will keep moving—village to city, silence to voice, suffering to dignity.

This journey reminded me that as long as there is compassion in our hearts, no road is too long, and no life is ever truly alone.
