Six shots of life
We’re back to spreading positivity and chasing away the gloom. Our editor picks shots of life that bring a smile.
SPREADING AWARENESS
Delhi Police has found a new way to ensure compliance of Covid-19 norms. Deputy Commissioner of Police, New Delhi district, tweeted a video of how police, instead of fining violators, are presenting flowers and administering an oath to not violate norms. That ought to leave a lasting impact!
THE POWER OF YOUTH
A 20-year-old engineering student has answered the call of service to society by developing a robot that assists in basic checkup of patients. Akansha Kumar and her father, Yogesh Kumar’s medi-robot can perform basic medical examination of infected patients and provide real-time data. Kudos to this duo!
BREATHING DONE RIGHT!
Innovation is the key to success, and this Mumbaikar has proved the same! Nihaal Singh Adarsh, a secondyear student of KJ Somaiya College of Engineering, has developed a compact belt-like wearable ventilation system for PPE kits. The Cov-Tech Ventilation System comes with a lithium-ion battery that lasts for six to eight hours, providing much-needed respite to those wearing it.
LIFTING SPIRITS
Bikramjit Bauliya, a Silchar-based folk singer, has been spreading positivity and infusing cheer among Covid-19 patients by singing to them over the phone to boost their morale and provide solace. The world truly needs more people like him, at this moment!
AN INVALUABLE LESSON
Looks like this youngster has learnt about the importance of planting trees early on! Restaurateur Harjinder Singh Kukreja tweeted a picture of his son, Rehras, wearing a costume with a plant saddled on his back, a mask on his face and a poster containing a message that read, ‘Plant Trees! Oxygen is important’. It’s time we join hands to save mother Nature.
CRAFTS FOR A CAUSE
Abhishekita Gupta, our reader from Gurugram, is putting her summer break to laudable use. This class 9 student has been making and selling a variety of paintings and jewellery, and is donating proceeds from the sale of her works to those who are suffering due to the pandemic. A commendable initiative, indeed!
