For B.N. Rashmi of Mysuru Medical College and Research Institute, it was a birthday to remember. Ensconced at a height ofover 12,500 feet and far away from her immediate family members, she was with a group of trekkers braving the freezing cold of the Himalayan winter.
She was part of a group of trekkers from the city who successfully completed a winter trek to Brahmatal in the Kumaon Himalayas in Uttarakhand, recently. The expedition group comprised people from diverse backgrounds of whom 6 were women and 9 were men.

Devotees of Lord Ayyappa will now have an opportunity to present their own devotional songs at the hill shrine of Sabarimala, thanks to an initiative by the TDB. The temple management board has decided to include newly composed devotional songs by ordinary devotees in the list of songs played through the public address system at the shrine. At present only devotional songs rendered by renowned singers such as K J Yesudas and Jayavijaya are played at Sabarimala, a Travancore Devaswom Board statement said.
