Sikh Removes Turban to Help Bleeding Child in New Zealand

Sikh Removes Turban to Help Bleeding Child in New Zealand

A 22-year-old Sikh man broke religious protocol by removing his turban to help a profusely bleeding child following a road accident in New Zealand, garnering praise for his humanitarian effort, a media report said today.

Harman Singh was at his home in Auckland when a five- year-old boy, who was walking to school with his elder sister, was hit by a car nearby.

Singh rushed to the spot after hearing the screeching of car wheels and the commotion.

He said he did not think twice about removing his turban to help the child, who was bleeding from the head.

"I wasn't thinking about the turban. I was thinking about the accident and I just thought that he needs something on his head because he's bleeding. That's my job to help," Singh was quoted as saying by New Zealand Herald.

Though removing turban is rare, Singh said the religious protocols do not restrict action in emergency situations, the report said.

The injured boy was rushed to a nearby hospital where his injuries were initially thought to be life-threatening but later, his condition was stated to be stable.

An eyewitness to the whole episode, Gagan Dhillon clicked a picture of Singh with the child and posted it on social networking site Facebook with a caption "So proud of this young Sikh man who helped at a crash this morning where a child was hit by a car."

Scores of people shared the image within minutes while showering praise on him.

Dhillon, a Sikh himself, said taking off a turban to help a stranger on street was a rare sight.

There was enough help as there was, but being a Sikh myself, I know what type of respect the turban has. People just don't take it off - people die over it.

Netizens praised Singh for his action, considered a hugely significant act of humanity by breaking strict religious protocol to help a stranger.

APRIL FOOL DAY

" WORLD APRIL"S FOOL DAY "

  

April Fools' Day (sometimes called April Fool's Day or All Fools' Day) is celebrated every year on the first day of April as a day when people playpractical jokes and hoaxes on each other. The jokes and their victims are known as "April fools". Hoax stories may be reported by the press and other media on this day and explained on subsequent days. Popular since the 19th century, the day is not a national holiday in any country, but it is well known in Canada, Europe, Australia, Brazil and the United States.

The earliest recorded association between 1 April and foolishness can be found in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (1392). Some writers suggest that the restoration of 1 January as New Year's Day in the 16th century was responsible for the creation of the holiday, but this theory does not explain earlier references.

It may be a cheeky sledge, it may be informed commentary, it may be a cold blast of reality, but Australia's talk of the MCG undoing of the Black Caps had the Herald newsroom thinking of another plucky band who took down an all-powerful empire and got the better of an imposing fortress of doom.

Strike up the orchestra and ignite your lightsabers, because the Black Caps need some help from the Force.

New Zealand in World Cup final

"New Zealand reach maiden World Cup final"

 

New Zealand have secured passage to the World Cup final for the first time. And the country will celebrate tonight.

The stage was Eden Park, filled to the brim with 41,279, the occasion being the tournament semi-finals, the major players being Brendon McCullum, Grant Elliott and Corey Anderson. McCullum gave New Zealand a fantastic start to a difficult Duckworth/Lewis revised target of 298 in 43 overs by smacking his way to a bullish fifty, and after a wobble it was the middle-order pair of Elliott and Anderson who steered the chase with a sensible stand of 103 in 97 balls. Victory was sealed with Elliott - born and raised in South Africa - swinging six to remain unbeaten on 84 from 74 balls with one delivery left in an epic World Cup semi-final. This was not for the faint-hearted.

The end was frenetic, excruciating. In the last 17 minutes South Africa missed the stumps, dropped a catch. Balls landed between fielders. Elliott made room and drilled Morne Morkel for four past extra cover. Next ball, JP Duminy collided with Farhaan Behardien at deep backward square leg and the ball popped out. "Let's go Vettori!" chanted the fans. They booed when Dale Steyn delayed his delivery and chatted with his captain as the support staff ran up with the medical box of marvels. Mid-pitch, Elliott and Daniel Vettori talked shop, swigged energy drinks, dried their faces. The tension had ratcheted up to new decibels.

South Africa would have backed themselves to defend all those runs after AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis and David Miller lifted them either side of a nearly two-hour rain break, but McCullum's outstanding attack on their three fast bowlers and the lack of a potent fifth bowler proved their undoing. New Zealand remain unbeaten in the World Cup and will meet the winners of the second semi-final at the MCG on March 29. You better believe they are up for it.

New Zealand's start was driven entirely by McCullum, who laced eight fours and four sixes in his 26-ball stay. His targeting of Vernon Philander, in his first match in almost two weeks, was clinical: he hung back and heaved six and four off successive balls, then whipped a boundary off the pads. Steyn's third over cost 25, with McCullum crunching two sixes and three fours with electrifying energy, and Morkel was clattered over extra cover, mid-on and midwicket.

It was a change of ends and pace for Morkel that did for McCullum on 59, as he charged and miscued to Steyn at mid-on. McCullum soaked up the appreciation from the crowd he slowly walked off.

At this stage the asking rate had been reduced to 6.2 an over, meaning that New Zealand's remaining batsmen could maintain a steady tempo. But within moments Morkel prised out Kane Williamson for 6, who edged a cramped pull onto the stumps.
