Village In Kerala Pledges To Donate Organs

Kochi, Nov 8 (ANI): The residents of an obscure village in Alappuzha district of Kerala have vowed to donate their organs after death, in order to set an example to others in mass organ donation. The organ donation move was initiated by members of a village sports club named 'Pranamam Arts and Sports Club', after a local died recently after suffering from a renal disease and could not be treated due to financial constraints. Though initially everyone was hesitant about donating their organs, the support of public representatives and political leaders helped the residents come forward for this gesture. The village is now referred as the 'Organ Donating' village. Nov 8, 2013

It happens: Buffalo Fight

Ujjain, Nov 8 (ANI): Hundreds converge in the ancient city of Ujjain in India's central Madhya Pradesh to witness the buffalo fight, the main attraction organised on the occasion of 'Bhai Dooj' in which sisters pray for the long life and prosperity of their brothers and brothers vow to always protect their sisters.Villagers from far off places brought their bulls and buffaloes for the traditional festival. In the months preceding the festival, bulls and buffaloes are fed with rich fodder and reeds of long grass typical of the state's marshy land. The fight was organised to pay tributes to the local deities and to preserve the century- old tradition. The spectators were seen cheering and clapping in anticipation of an entertaining duel when the specially reared animals were brought to the arena.For centuries, the practice of bullfighting has been followed, wherein the two animals are made to lock horns, fighting for the honour of an area until one of them is pushed off the field.
