Cop saves woman who slipped trying to board moving train
A Railway Protection Force (RPF) constable acted swiftly to save a woman who slipped and fell while trying to board a moving train in Mumbai.
Police constable Sapna Golkar was on duty at Mumbai’s Byculla railway station on Sunday night when she saw the commuter lose her balance and fall.
Footage showed the alert cop immediately rushing to the woman’s aid and pulling her away from the moving train, thereby preventing further injuries. This is the second time in two months that Ms Golkar has saved a passenger.
In the video, the 40-year-old woman was dragged by the train for a split second before help arrived. Besides Constable Golkar, a few other people at the platform also rushed to her aid. The commuter was seen getting up after a few moments, apparently not injured seriously.
The video was released on social media and also shared by the Ministry of Railways which praised the constable. It, however, reminded all passengers to not attempt to board trains while they were moving. — ndtv.com

NASA Astronaut shows how he wears pants in Space: ‘two legs at a time’

Astronauts have a unique way of getting dressed in space. In a fascinating video posted on February 21, NASA chemical engineer, Don Pettit, demonstrated how he puts on his pants aboard the International Space Station. Instead of the traditional one-leg-at-a-time approach, Mr Pettit descended into his floating trousers, essentially jumping into them with both legs at once.
He simply captioned the video, “Two legs at a time.”
The lighthearted video delighted viewers, prompting a flurry of comments and reactions from users who enjoyed the humorous glimpse into life in space. One user wrote, “I thought you were going to land right in them at first. Haha. That might be fun to try.”
Another joked, “This is the real content that I needed! I attempted to recreate this on Earth and well.it didn’t go well.”
A third said, “Missed opportunity to not have the theme from Space Odyssey 2001 playing for this.” A fourth added, “Such a pro! Well done.”

Company threatens to fire employees …..if they don’t get married and have children
A company based in China’s Shandong province caught the attention of government officials after it threatened to fire its single and divorced employees if they remained single by the end of September.
According to a report in South China Morning Post, Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group Co. Ltd., issued a notice to its 1,200-odd employees, emphasising that they work well and establish families.
The notice required single employees aged 28-58, including those divorced, to get married and settle down by the end of September this year. Those who do not by the end of March need to write a self-criticism letter. If they do not get married by the end of June, the company will conduct an “evaluation” of them. If they are still single by the end of September, they will be fired.
The company said the move was intended to promote the spirit and cultural values of “diligence, kindness, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness”.
As the news went viral, Chinese social media users slammed the decision, stating the company was violating several laws.
“Corporate rules should not override laws or social morals,” one user commented, while others pointed out that the Chinese marriage law guarantees freedom of marriage.
“This crazy company should mind its own business and stay away from the personal lives of employees.”
