Like to rev your bike?
Location: Visakhapatnam
Are you the kind that likes to rev your bike to high noise levels?
Or the kind that modifies its silencer so that it vrooms noisily?
Then Visakhapatnam is not the city for you.
Here's why.
And to Visakhapatnam 's police -- take a bow.
Will cops across India follow in their footsteps?
And, while on the topic, how about taking a look at those modified car horns too?
Elephant Rescue!
Location: Ramgarh
When a wild animal strays into human territory, it's the former that's almost always the loser.
But, sometimes, man intervenes.
Like it happened when an elephant fell into a well in Hulu village in Jharkhand's Ramgarh district.
At a time when bulldozers are associated with some governments playing 'executioner and judge', it is heartening to see a JCB being involved in a rescue operation that deserves many rounds of applause.
