The Army In J&K Helps A Pregnant Woman Reach The Hospital In Deep Snow & We're In Awe Of Them
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The Indian Army is an epitome of true valour and righteousness, wherever it's needed. They're almost invincible yet dignified, ferocious and mighty, as well as compassionate. And we only believe these things because we always read about the great work they are doing, while protecting our borders. Recently, the Indian army marched towards another great feat by rescuing a pregnant woman , who was stuck in bad snow to deliver her babies. On the 8th of February, a villager from the same village as the pregnant woman called the company commander of the Thana Panar Camp at Bandipur and asked for help to take his wife Gulshana Begum to the hospital there. Due to Jammu & Kashmir's heavy snowfall, the man couldn't take his wife, since the roads were all blocked and the temperature fell to about minus seven degrees Celsius. The situation was so grave that the woman had to be rushed to the hospital and she couldn't waste any time. © Twitter Upon hearing about the situation at hand, the soldiers of Bandipur National Rifles reached the woman's house, braving bad road conditions and heavy snowfall. They carried her out on a stretcher for about 2.5 kms, before putting her in an army ambulance. © Twitter The men had already spoken to the required doctors before they even reached the hospital in Bandipur, just so there wouldn't be any time wasted and the woman could have a safe and healthy delivery. Fortunately, upon reaching the hospital on time and after some check-ups, it was confirmed the woman would be having twins. If it wasn't for the army's presence in the nick of time, she wouldn't have been able to even make it to the nearest hospital. © Twitter Indian Army as an organisation has been taken for granted beyond measure time and again, especially in Jammu and Kashmir where they are vigilant day and night about terrorist activities. The locals aren't very fond of the army and they definitely have unpleasant feelings towards them. But more often than not, the army goes out of its way to help the local, sizeable population in any way they can and they recognise the importance of an emergency and lack of help in some regions of J&K. That's why they're always there, fighting every cause. Here's to the Indian Army for always lending a helping hand to people when they need them. We're sure Gulshana Begum's twins will have something to thank the Indian Army about. Who knows they might join the ranks someday! -
Whenever we think about star kids, we think about the privileges and luxuries they get in life. "Oh, they have everything sorted for them, they have it so easy," is something we often hear people say. But, in all honesty, being born to a famous parent does not mean that the star kids are some mythical characters, who live in a parallel dimension or universe. They pretty much live a normal life, eat regular food and take the public transport, just like everyone else. Sounds impossible? Well, then maybe it's just Karan Deol, Sunny Deol's son who is living a regular life. View this post on Instagram #sunnydeol son #karandeol snapped at andheri- ghatkoapar metro ride.

Student Walks 32 Km Overnight To Reach Work On Time, Company's CEO Gifts Him A Car As Reward
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
I read somewhere that determination takes you places, excuses don't and I guess it's absolutely right. The world is primarily divided into two parts – one, that is great in getting things done and the other, that is brilliant in coming up with excuses. While most of us proudly move to the latter part of the world, there are some who stick with the former and turn out to be an inspiration for everyone. © Pexels If this wasn't true, then we wouldn't be talking about Walter Carr right now, whose dedication towards his work has left us speechless and has filled our hearts with respect for him. His efforts might mean nothing to some people, but what he did is not something everyone can do. In fact, if we find ever find ourselves in Walter's situation, most of us will probably not do what he did. © Twitter Walter recently joined a company that assists people in moving into their houses. On his first day at work, he was supposed to help his clients Jenny Lamey and her husband Chris, who stayed nearly 20 miles away from his house (FYI that's 32 km). Jenny lives in Homewood and Walter lives in Pelham, Alabama. But, a night before his first day at work, Walter's car broke down and he didn't know how he was going to get to work. But, Walter did not lose hope. He started walking around midnight and walked 32 km to reach the house on time on his first day at work. Moved by Walter's dedication, Jenny took to social media to share this inspiring story. This deserves 1000 retweets! Read this amazing story about Walter, a new bellhop in Birmingham. Major shoutout to the @PelhamPoliceAL officer who lended a helping hand. pic.twitter.com/eLgbAxg4uv — Bellhops (@BellhopsMoving) 15 July 2018 She wrote, “Walter said that he was supposed to help us with our move today. The officer proceeded to tell us that the previous evening, Walter's car broke down and he didn't know how he was going to get to work. So he left Homewood at MIDNIGHT and started WALKING to Pelham on 280. He WALKED ALL NIGHT.” The cops picked him up in the morning and took him to get breakfast and after knowing his story, brought him to Jenny's house. The couple asked if he wanted to take some rest, but he declined the offer and started working. Reportedly, when the company's CEO heard this news about his new employee, he was extremely proud of him and drove to Walter and gifted him a 2014 Ford Escape as a reward. We guess, hard work does pay off and the reward sure is great. Source: Inquirer -

5 Footballers Who Overcame Financial Adversities To Reach The Pinnacle Of The Sport
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
The word poverty conjures many images for us, all mostly depicting anguish, and hardships. Broken roofs, struggle for a square meal, and constant fights for a better life; that's why success stories appear much more meaningful when someone rises from the depths of despair, to make it big in life. We love a lot of footballers for their game, but when we read about the hardships they rose from, our respect for them grows even more. Here are the five superstars who grew up playing barefoot because they couldn't afford two meals a day, let alone football studs: 1. Alexis Sanchez © Reuters Alexis plays with a fire in his belly that defenders find hard to extinguish. Alexis grew up in the remote Chilean town of Tocopilla. As a kid, his swift footwork earned him the nickname Dilla (Ardilla means a squirrel in Chile). Alexis' father left the family before he was born, and even as a school-goer he had to work really hard to support his family. He washed cars, participated in street boxing bouts, and even performed acrobatics in front of the public to earn money, until he realized that football could be the answer to their poverty. 2. Zlatan Ibrahimovic © Reuters Just a week ago, during the England vs Sweden quarter-finals at the World Cup, Zlatan made a bet with his multi-millionaire friend David Beckham. If England would beat Sweden, he would buy him anything from Ikea. Today, Zlatan can afford to place such bets but his childhood was starkly contrasting. Born to an alcoholic father, he had a tough childhood that was spent in a ghetto in Rosengard. He admits that he frequently stole money as a child, but that very ghetto became the place where he learned the tricks that he is so famous for today. 3. Angel Di Maria © Reuters From being transferred in exchange for 35 footballs by his boyhood club, to the 65 million pounds that Man United paid for him in 2014, Di Maria has come a long way. He was born to a coal-mine worker and shared a small room with his 2 siblings. His father was a gifted footballer too, but could never pursue a career due to a knee injury. Di Maria started playing barefoot in the streets because his father didn't make enough to afford boots, a fact that saddened his father a lot. His poor childhood has made him a calm and composed person, unlike many other party-animal footballers. 4. Luis Suarez © Reuters One of the most prolific strikers of this decade, Suarez endured both a poor and a rough childhood. He grew up in the nasty neighbourhoods of Montevideo. Despite the crime around, he managed to sustain his love for football and played barefoot every single day. Suarez's surroundings made him emotionally vulnerable, a sign that he still displays at times. But an encounter with Sofia Balbi, his now wife, made him much more focused towards the game. 5. Cristiano Ronaldo © Reuters Arguably one of the best players of all times, Cristiano Ronaldo's childhood is what has made him so tough, determined, and destined for greatness. His family was so poor that he was almost aborted by his mother, a fact she confessed in her biography. As a child, he lived in a congested room that he shared with his mother and two sisters. Self-respect was and is still one of the hallmarks of this great, and it is what cost him a place in his school. He threw a chair at a teacher who insulted him. Following the rustication, he had to work to earn money at the age of 14, but a call from Sporting Lisbon changed his life. Today, he's worth $400 million. -
