ITBP trains at -25 degrees Celsius!
Date: February 13

Country, for our brave soldiers in uniform, comes first.
And they will face any hardship in the course of their duty.

Qasim Sahib builds temple, performs puja
Date: February 14
Location: Mangaluru
Thirty-five years ago, P Qasim Sahib left his village, Chittalancheri, in Palakkad, Kerala, and came to neighbouring Karnataka in search of work.
He settled down in Kavathar village, which is part of Mulki taluk.
At one point, he faced a rough patch and was struggling to get his children married.
So he prayed to Koragajja, revered in the state's coastal districts.
His problems eased and, 19 years ago, he decided to build a temple for Koragajja. Initially, he used to take a loan for festivities related to the temple, but, now, the money comes from devotees who come to pray.
Qasim, who religiously performs the temple's daily rituals, says people of different castes and religions reside in the village and come to the temple to share their woes with Koragajja.

Her family decided to donate her organs and turned their sorrow into a life-saving moment for those who received her organs.

It takes a lot of courage to publicly declare that you are different and want to live your life a certain way.
That's exactly what Manu Karthika and Syama S Prabha, a transgender couple from Thiruvananthapuram, did on Valentine's Day. They wed and celebrated their union with family and friends.
The couple will soon approach the Kerala high court to register their marriage under the transgender category.
As they have identified themselves transgenders in their government-issued IDs, they haven't been able to register their marriage under the Special Marriage Act.
