An inspiring Husband

A Hawker to see his wife as an Engineer:
Silar, 28, is a food hawker by profession and Muslim by religion. Despite belonging to a conservative society, he values education and the role it can play in ones' life. Out of a meager earning of about rupees 150-a-day, he manages to save for his wife's educational expenses. The first fifty rupees goes into buying supplies for his business, the next fifty is saved for his wife and the remaining fifty rupees goes to rest of the family.

Fatima Bibi, the wife, is a third year student of Bachelor of Technology Tripli Electrical and Electronics engineering. She considers herself very fortunate to have found such a caring and affectionate husband.

At the time of her marriage in 2001, Silar used to work as a watchman at a textile shop in Cheellapuram village. Later on, he moved to Vizag with Fatima's parents.
Arranging a big sum of rupees 24,000 for her academic counseling was the biggest challenge for Silar. But he arranged the required amount by his determination to impart Fatima the best possible education.

Face Off

First Ever Face Transplantation:
Surgeons in France have carried out the world's first face transplant, on a 38-year-old French woman whose lips and nose were ripped off in a dog attack.
Professor Jean-Michel Dubernard, the French surgeon who performed the first ever hand transplant in 1998, confirmed news reports that the operation had taken place over the weekend.
In the high-risk operation, a triangle formed by the nose and mouth was grafted onto the patient.
The facial tissues, muscles, arteries and blood veins needed for the transplant were taken on Sunday from a donor in the northern city of Lille, who was in a brain-dead condition. The patient will have to take immunosuppressant drugs to help her body cope with the donated tissue.
Computer modelling suggests that her new face will be a hybrid between her own and that of the donor.
The transplant procedure could bring hope for thousands of people whose faces are disfigured by burns, trauma, disease or birth defects -- although ethical concerns have held back its development

Greater Visakhapatnam:
Nineteen new satellite towns will be built in the next five years around the city, which had now been made ''Greater Visakhapatnam city'' following a state government order merging 32 villages and suburban Gajuwaka town.
