The braveness that a 12 year old boy has!!

Many people in the present world have got time enough only to mind their jobs.Also the guts to save a person who is losing his grip in his last few breaths is found only among few people.Such a brave act is beyond his capacity for a twelve year old boy.The boy has proved his guts.The girl Aradhana Pradhan had fallen into a hole more than 100 feet in the mountain gorge in western Nepal on Wednesday.The boy named Kamal volunteered to save the girl risking his life.It had been nearly 22 hours after she fell down in the hole.The girl was in a good and stable condition when she was saved,the doctors of Manipal teaching hospital said.Seeing down through a deep hole about 100 feet will make us afraid with our legs moving away from it involuntarily.The main thing in this heroism is that the boy Kamal agreed to save the girl after the Army and Police men failed in their attempts.The boy surely deserves a "Bravery Award".

Culling Of Kangaroos in Australia


The kangaroos have started to increase in number greatly and the government of Australia has issued orders to cull Kangaroos the national animal of the Australians.The reason attributed to culling of the kangaroos was the decrease in the grass lands on which the animals feed upon and this may lead to the slow starvation of the kangaroos.John Stanhope the chief minister of Australian capital territory said that the Kangaroos will be killed by the most humane method.This activity is compared to the killing of Whales in Japan.The culling activity is receiving opposition from various parts around the world and also people within Australia.

Last year the state governments issued permission to cull nearly 3.7 million kangaroos .The number is increasing in millions every year.The depletion of water resources on a quick basis is also one of the reasons that the authorities give for the culling activity.The Royal Society for prevention of cruelty to animals(RSPCA) is opposing this slaughtering activity.

A heavy Tumour in abdomen!!!

Tumours in general are very painful.Imagine how badly it would have pained for this man who had a tumour in his abdomen that weighed 42 kg.He was operated by surgeon Omar Ali who said that the tumour was bigger than a football.The man was working as rickshaw puller in bangkok.The man carried on with his work for nearly 2 years even after his stomach bulged like a ball.The operation was done for three hours and the doctors found the growth to be 81 centimetres long and 61 centimetres wide.It would have been horrible and intensely painful.The doctors also say that the tumour would have started growing 3 or 4 years back,before the surgery.The man had assumed for himself that it would have been due to water retention.Dont take your own decisions in cases that are complicated and consult a doc as soon as possible.

Foxes have started with "Theft" !!!

Theft was done all these days by humans from other people,But now the animals have started with the theft of possessions of humans.In Switzerland a fox snatched a hand bag from a woman and ran off. The woman was working on a piece of land near the city of Bale when she saw the fox running with her hand bag in its mouth.This kind of a theft would be totally not anticipated by the lady.A person there tried to chase the fox but gave up his chase as the fox was too fast for him.The hand bag had a wallet and house keys.The police then found the lady's hand bag about 50 meters from the place.The fox just dropped the hand bag as it was too bulky for it to hold in its mouth.The fox was not arrested for its act of theft.The animals have started to steal even hand bags and purses nowadays.This incident is quite strange.

Elephant Ramu demands food.

An elephant named Ramu Haaathi has got seperated from its herd and has decided to collect its food in its own way.The elephant has seen to stop the trucks that pass through the Haatgamria-baraiburu road.The elephant acts like a toll collector but demands food form the trucks that pass through the road.The trucks passing by must give him daily quota of food for which he is seen standing for hours together.Some of the truckers don't mind giving the food toll.They are ready to give Ramu rice,fruits and other stuffs.Ramu always does not remain calm as his mood changes.If he does not find any food loaded truck the whole day then he starts raiding the hotels on the road side in search of his food.


It is also said that the elephant costs no damage to human living places and the villagers take care of it.Elephant Ramu has been different from wild elephants which have been responsible for death of more than 150 people in jarkhand from 2005 to 2007.The elephant has decided to demand food from the truckers and not destroying the crops of the villagers.
