We’re back to spreading positivity and chasing away the gloom. Our editor picks shots of life that bring a smile
WOMEN ON A TREK
The first-ever women guards to be deployed in the forests of Nanda Devi, Durga Sati, 32, Roshni Negi, 25, and Mamta Kanwasi, 33, went on a trek to India’s second highest mountain which is over 25,000 feet high. They went to Dharasi (14,500 feet), their destination which no other woman has gone before. Kudos to your grit, ladies!
THE DANCING QUEEN
This one-legged dancer’s video performing to Chikni Chameli has gone viral on Facebook. Subhreet Kaur Ghumman seriously injured her leg in a road accident on 21 October 2009, while riding her scooter. Her leg had to be amputated because of the doctor’s negligence. But that didn’t stop the gritty Kaur from chasing her dreams and pursuing her passion. Life is indeed what you make of it.
NURTURE NATURE AS A CHILD
A village in Uttar Pradesh’s Kaushambhi district has made it compulsory for all newlyweds to plant saplings. The residents of Amni Lokipur village have pledged that every newly married couple of the village would be allowed to enter their house only after planting the sapling that would be considered their first child.
GETTING VACCINATED
The Robin Hood Army, a volunteerbased organization, has taken the charge of getting senior citizens vaccinated in various states. They have got 1,200 senior citizens vaccinated. In another drive, Hyderabad’s Uma Nagar organised vaccination for domestic help, drivers and security personnel.
NO ORDINARY DOG!
This furry fellow’s video of protecting a toddler by stopping him from climbing the stairs has gone viral. The video that has been retweeted multiple times was initially posted by Emmy winning entertainment publicist, Danny Deraney. “Happy Monday to this puppy preventing a baby climbing the stairs and to this puppy doggy only,” he wrote.
WITH LOVE FOR SUSHANT
On the death anniversary of actor Sushant Singh Rajput - an actor loved by millions for his humble and simple nature- a fan, Sourav Mondal, from Chirang District in Assam, drew his portrait using 31,000 nails.
