"I'm not being given this award for my work in India alone. I work in 144 countries. So it is a global fight," Nobel Peace Prize winner Kailash Satyarthi said.

NEW DELHI: Noisy OB vans and an unending caravan of cars: on Friday afternoon, Kalkaji, a middle-class locality in south Delhi, was suddenly abuzz with activity and animation. It's barely an hour since the news flashed on TV screens. But everybody knows that L-6, a slim, unremarkable two-storey building, has become a very famous address. For word has gone around that it is the workstation of child rights crusader Kailash Satyarthi, who has been jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize along with Pakistan's Malala Yousafzai, the spitfire teenage activist who defied the Taliban.
At a time when the chronically sparring neighbours are again trading gunfire on the northern side of the border, leading to over a dozen deaths and causing thousands to flee home, the symbolism and larger meaning of sharing the world's most coveted prize between the two is not lost on anybody, least of all Satyarthi himself.
"I know Malala personally and will definitely call to congratulate her. I will tell her that besides our fight for child rights, especially for girls, we must also work for peace in the sub-continent. It is very important that our children are born and live in peace," says the 60-year-old activist, dressed in a sober sand-coloured kurta and standing bare feet, even as frenzied reporters jostle for his attention.

परोपकाराय फलन्ति वृक्षा: परोपकाराय वहन्ति नद्यः।
परोपकाराय दुहन्ति गावः परोपकाराय इदं शरीरम्।।
