Kerala’s Youngest Organ Donor: How a 10-Month-Old Baby Saved Five Lives
In the Indian state of Kerala, a 10-month-old baby girl has saved five lives by donating her organs, a decision that would not have been possible without her father’s courage. Her father, Arun Abraham, recalled a lecture he had heard during his college days—one he never forgot—and it ultimately gave him the strength to donate his daughter’s organs, saving five people. His daughter, Ellen Sherren Abraham, has become the youngest organ donor in Kerala. She had been severely injured in a car accident some time ago. Her liver and one kidney have already been transplanted into two critically ill children, while her heart valve, second kidney, and eyes will be matched with needy patients at three hospitals in Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. Arun, 33, said, “When the doctor told us that our daughter was brain dead, we were devastated. It was a difficult decision, but when I discussed it with my wife, she said we should donate her organs to save lives.” Arun explained that in 2013, a priest from the Kidney Foundation, Father Davis, gave a lecture about organ donation at his college. “At the time, I was a B.Com student, and that day I vowed that if anything ever happened to me, I would donate my organs.” Dr. Eshwar H, Professor of Neurosurgery at Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute of Medical Sciences and Technology, said, “This is very encouraging. Ellen has changed people’s perception of organ transplantation in the country.

Rethinking Fulfilment: Navigating the Quarter-Life Questions
A psychologist once spent ages trying to convince me that the so-called quarter-life crisis is nothing more than a myth. At first, I pushed back hard against this idea, because it felt like a dismissal of the very real challenges so many of us face in our twenties. But over time, I began to see another perspective: denying its existence often seems like a way for people to make you question your own sense of direction—sometimes to reassure themselves, other times because there’s profit in it. Just look at the endless self-help books and seminars aimed at young adults, all promising fixes for the quarter-life crisis and selling pricey solutions that rarely get to the heart of what’s actually troubling us.

Disabled, Not Difficult
There is a moment that happens quietly, almost invisibly. It appears in hesitation. In the pause before asking for a chair. In the careful calculation before explaining why I cannot stand for long, why I need to leave early, why I cannot simply push through.

Finding My Balance Through Winter Sports
Winter wasn’t always my favourite season. For a long time, it felt like something to get through, with short days, cold mornings, and that constant urge to stay indoors where it’s warm. But over time, winter has become the season I feel most like myself. It’s not because it’s easy or comfortable. It’s because winter strips things down and makes you show up honestly.

Why Do Poor People Often Remain Poor
Why Do Poor People Often Remain Poor? When a child is born into a poor family, the environment they grow up in is very different from that of a child born into a wealthy household. From the very beginning, that child does not receive the same exposure, comfort, or opportunities. They observe their home, their parents, and their surroundings closely, and slowly, all of this begins to shape their mind.
