On August 28, 1963, standing on these very steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech. A speech that didn’t just move America—it shook the world.

These steps have heard many voices, but this one stands out. King spoke not just to commemorate Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation of 1863, which freed millions of slaves, but to remind the world that freedom and justice are always unfinished work.

Some steps are just steps. Others lift humanity higher.

This is one such place.

Raj Ghat in New Delhi, is nothing more than a plank. If you see it that way.
Yet you have millions of people visiting the place. It’s the memorial of THE Mahatma, you see.

The place reeks simplicity. With an eternal flame serving as the only far coat of luxury.
You think of the man and you realise a few things.
You grow tall with your deeds. With your lifestyle. With your message.
And then when you add love to the equation, you continue to stand tall. Long after you lay down.
