A female passenger travelling from Anand Vihar Terminal to Raxaul, who was travelling on berth number 11 in B-1 coach of Sadbhavna Express (train number 14018), felt uncomfortable en route and approached the railways for help. When the problem worsened as the train moved beyond Ballia, she asked for sanitary pads using the Rail Madad app.

This message reached the TC office at Chhapra railway station through the control room. There, TC Pratima Kumari, without any hesitation, understood the need of the female passenger and sent her colleague to the market to get sanitary pads. As soon as Sadbhavna Express reached Chhapra Junction, Pratima Kumari herself went to platform number three and provided pads on the seat of the female passenger and also enquired about her well-being. The woman not only thanked the railways for this help, but also paid the price of the pads.

According to the TC office of Chhapra station, this was the first time a female passenger made such a demand, and it was fulfilled with full respect and sensitivity. Passengers and co-passengers also appreciated this initiative of the Railways.

Look at this picture carefully!

It’s a very precious photo, one that won’t be forgotten for decades.

She is Smriti Singh. She lost her husband at a very young age.

Only five months before his death, she had married Captain Anshuman.

At such a young age, she has paid a huge price for our country.

This picture holds the cost of our nation’s security, a cost Smriti paid by losing her husband.

On July 19, 2023, a fire broke out in the Indian Army bunkers in the Siachen Glacier.

Soldiers were trapped by the fire. Among them was Captain Anshuman Singh from Deoria, UP.

Facing death head-on, Captain Anshuman entered the burning bunker, saved four soldiers, but lost his own life.

Captain Anshuman was posthumously awarded the Kirti Chakra.

Such heroes are unforgettable.

Let’s make them more unforgettable.

I booked an Uber cab today, the driver picked me and he started the ride.

During the ride, he got calls and he disconnected 2-3 times.

After that I insisted him to pick up the call.

He did and the sound from the other side was quite audible to me.

It was his daughter and she was asking for a school bag.

The driver repeatedly tried to ignore first but later he asked his daughter to handover the phone to his wife.

He said “I am trying to save little money but can’t afford to buy a new bag atleast in next 2-3 days as I recently bought books for our daughter and need to pay monthly bills”.

I changed the drop location while he was on call with his wife and as soon as we arrived I asked the driver to come with me. The thing I was going to buy is quite heavy”.

The driver (a humble man) came with me without asking me anything.

I took him to a bag store and bought one school bag.

I made the payment from my wife’s account as I didn’t have enough in my account.

I handed over the bag to him.

He was speechless and just thanked me.

Without saying a word we reached out to the car and I said “do give your daughter a surprise today”.

He asked me for my number and I took a picture, which I sent him.

After an hour he sent me a picture of his daughter smiling like an angel.

This one picture was more valuable than any money could buy.

We often come across bad drivers using services like or but sometimes we meet Superheroes also known as Fathers.

I don’t have words, how rich I feel after this.

But gratitude to each and every father who never let their kids down.

Even in the worst situation they are going through.

I am sure my wife won’t get angry on me for spending from her money.

Just be kind and help anyone in need, the world would look beautiful.

She is Munni from Darbhanga district of Bihar. She has settled in Noida with her family. Her husband works in a medical store. She has two children whom she dreams of making capable and successful by providing them good education, for which she works hard. She makes good tea and samosas on the road outside my housing society. She also keeps homemade mathri. She arrives in the afternoon and remains there till night. She used to work with a gas stove on a small table, but one day people from Municipality came and took away her work table. She did not lose courage and kept working by keeping the stove on the ground. After some time, the municipality officer returned her table yesterday. She is very optimistic, always smiling and talks in a sweet tone. She doesn't know the meaning of Women's Day. The date of March 8 is truly filled with the unknown stories of millions of faceless toiling women like Munni.

When I resigned from my first job, my boss didn't believe me.

Manager : You've made the wrong decision. You'll regret later, you won't get any better opportunities.

Me : Thanks for your concern, sir but I already got one offer with a 50% hike in my salary, good position, better working environment, cooperative co-workers, work from home policy.

Manager (with Frown Face) : All the best for your future.

Rest is history, now I am providing jobs to more than 10 people directly and 30+ as associates to my company.

Dear Managers,

Don't underestimate anyone. Some managers never acknowledge the work done by the employees. Don't be the one.

If you won't give them the opportunity & recognition, someone else will give.

Employees are assets.
Appreciate them.
Value them.

Yesterday I could get my mom here in Singapore to show her this beautiful part of the world, and right today I have decided to take her to show my office & city area. It's hard to express the emotions and happiness that she is feeling through.
Imagine, the lady that has spent her whole life in the village and did not even see the airplane from a close angle.
Yes, she became the first one from her generation to travel abroad and the second lady from my village (Of course first one is my wife). A pretty special moment for me and family.

The only thing that hurts me is - wish my dad would have been around to experience this!

I really urge people who are traveling/traveled to show the other beautiful part of the world to your parents, irrespective of the period you are traveling for. Trust me, their happiness can not be measured.

I planned to bring my mom even before my travel to Singapore, this was there in my goal even before I traveled.
