Video: This Little ‘Milkman' Helping Mom Feels Like A Scene From A Ruskin Bond Story
The viral video shows the boy walking through difficult terrain to deliver milk to help his mother.
A heartwarming video is winning hearts across social media for all the right reasons. It features a young boy, dressed in a raincoat, making his way through a muddy and slippery path. But what is special about it? This little one is out delivering milk to help his mother.
The video was shared on Instagram by Nimkipu Lepcha, a teacher in Sikkim. It shows the boy walking through difficult terrain. He carries a milk bag tied like a headband to keep his hands free. It is drizzling, so the path is not easy, but nothing seems to stop him. The destination is a hostel and he makes sure the milk reaches there on time.
As the video plays, an overlay text reads, 'The milkman has arrived once again, bringing fresh goodness to our doorstep!"
A Moving Gesture
Lepcha, moved by his effort, meets him during the delivery. She offers him chocolates as a thank-you gift. The boy receives it with both hands, bows politely and smiles with pure joy. But that wasn't all. She then surprises him with a Spider-Man soft toy and a new pair of shoes. As he holds the toy, his face lights up with a huge smile. He folds his hands again to say thank you.
Towards the end of the video, Lepcha joins the boy to walk back with him to his home.
In the caption, Lepcha shared a heartfelt note about her childhood, writing, 'Age is simply a number when it comes to taking on responsibilities, and even the youngest among us can find ways to support their parents. From my experience, I realised how much I grew up by observing my mother's tireless efforts and dedication."
'I always tried to lend a helping hand to her, even when I was just a child, and through those moments, I learned the true meaning of responsibility and compassion. It shaped me into the person I am today, instilling in me the value of being there for others," she added.

Another shared, 'My heart aches watching this, but at the same time it's making me smile."

After FIDE Women's World Cup title, Divya Deshmukh learns to deal with overnight stardom
Divya Deshmukh starts chuckling as she talks about her 'Messi moment' in Batumi. In the heady hours after she became the FIDE Women's World Cup champion — simultaneously sealing her Grandmaster title in one shot and securing a spot at the Women's Candidates event — she was briefly confronted with a problem: how to pose with her trophy for Instagram. Then, Lionel Messi came up with an assist: Divya remembered three photos the Argentine legend had posted snuggling the World Cup Trophy in bed that garnered over 50 million likes. It's a photo that has been recreated by multiple athletes like Spanish footballer Jenni Hermoso after winning the FIFA World Cup. 'I saw this picture long ago from Messi. So yeah, it was definitely inspired by Messi,' Divya tells The Indian Express. 'I also wanted to click one while I was sleeping next to the trophy (like the original photo from Messi). But unfortunately, I was so tired, I just fell asleep.' Remind her that the trophy is hers to keep so she can recreate it any day, and she smiles: 'I'm thinking maybe I'll do it with the next trophy.' Since that title in Batumi, the teenager's fame has shot through the roof. Everyone wants to be a part of her success: union ministers and state chief ministers have video-called her. She's been invited to the country's capital for an audience with the sports minister. There were so many messages on her phone across apps that she's lost count now. 'There were too many of them. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten back to most of them. I'm just one person. It's taking me a lot of time. But I'm so grateful that there were a lot of messages,' she says. Divya's coronation as Indian chess' next big thing happened in Nagpur, complete with a road show in front of thousands of residents, just like Chennai welcomes its chess sons after world-conquering feats in distant lands. She's still as tired as she was in Batumi a week back; her time is at a premium now as wave after wave of felicitation events and well-wishers dropping by at her home keep her occupied. 'When I landed in Nagpur, seeing the crowd that showed up, particularly so many kids, that was very special for me,' she says before adding: 'But among all of that, the most enduring moment came on August 2 (at the event where she was felicitated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis). When I entered, I saw at least 50 percent of the crowd were kids and they were all cheering my name. It just felt like such a nice moment.' Amidst all the hype, Divya's been keen to share the spotlight. At the Nagpur roadshow, she held up a framed photo of her first coach Rahul Joshi, who passed away a few years back. She even dedicated her grandmaster title to him. Joshi was, after all, the first believer in Divya's talent, a man who convinced her parents and Divya herself that she could be one of the best. Divya reveals that she was just six or seven years old when Joshi had prophesied that she would become a grandmaster one day. So convinced was Joshi of his prediction that he made the then seven-year-old sign a declaration on a piece of paper that she would become a GM by the age of 14 or 15. 'He was the guiding force behind my career since I was too small to understand. He was guiding my parents too, telling them how things work in the chess world. He was the one who pushed me to play at the state championship and then the Nationals. When I won my first Nationals, both my parents and I were not even aware that the Nationals lead to the Asian Championships and World Championships; or that there were events like Asian Championships and World Championships in the sport. For my first age-group Championship, he came along with me and the experience was quite surreal. 'From my childhood, the grandmaster title was something that he knew I was eventually going to achieve. If he was here today, he would have been very happy,' Divya says. It was at those age-group tournaments, Divya says, that she picked up the attributes that make her among the best today. Like her ability to never agree to draws. Her aggression on the chessboard. The mentality of never being overawed by the occasion, no matter how big. 'What has helped me the most in my career was playing in age-category events. Usually in the last round of these events, it was quite crucial because either you get a medal or you just come fourth or something. So, it was in those events that I learned how to manage my nerves and I always wanted to aim for the gold. I think I got my fighting spirit to never give up from there. That is the one thing that has helped me a lot,' she adds. Ask her if there is one moment from her career — barring the FIDE World Cup title — that stands out for her and defines her career, and she replies: 'I don't think one moment would ever be enough, right?' The World Cup triumph was not just a crowning moment for Divya, it was a turn-of-the-page moment for Indian chess, particularly women's chess, perfectly captured by the sight of two Indian women, Divya and Koneru Humpy, fighting for the title while two Chinese players fought for third place on the next board. 'When I initially got to know that Humpy is the one who is in the final with me, I was very happy for India and Indian chess. Especially young girls who may be looking to take chess as a sport. I knew that either way, the trophy was coming to India. 'In the last two-three years, it has been quite an uprising for Indian chess. India — thanks to everything others like Gukesh, Pragg, Arjun (Erigaisi), Nihal (Sarin) have done — has definitely proven that we are here to stay,' she adds.

She debuted at tender age of 19, opposite a seasoned actor known for his comic timing and dance moves. Her entry was marked by a blend of innocence and determination, a combination that promised a luminous career ahead. Who is this actress? This actress is Sonali Bendre, a name that slowly but surely carved its own place in the world of Indian cinema. This actress is Sonali Bendre, a name that slowly but surely carved its own place in the world of Indian cinema. Sonali Bendre faced several rejections early in her career, especially because she didn't fit the typical Bollywood 'heroine' mold of the 90s. In her throwback interview with Bollywood Bubble, Sonali mentioned that she had to face rejection many times due to being thin. She said that in the 90s, I was not considered special. I was very thin and people wanted to cast curvy figures that was the era of curly hair and I had straight hair, but the actress made her mark based on her talent. How was Sonali Bendre's Bollywood career? She made her debut in 1994 with the film Aag, opposite Govinda. Though the film didn't create waves at the box office, her presence was instantly noticed. Her pairing with Govinda brought a fresh on-screen chemistry that audiences appreciated. After her debut with Aag, she starred in a series of films alongside major stars like Salman Khan (Hum Saath-Saath Hain), Ajay Devgn (Diljale), and Akshay Kumar (Angaaray). Though she wasn't always in the spotlight as the central lead, her elegance, expressive acting, and natural beauty made her a memorable part of many ensemble casts. Her pairing with actors like Ajay and Akshay was well-received, and she often brought grace to family-oriented and romantic roles during the late '90s. How was her collaboration outside Bollywood? Outside of Hindi cinema, Sonali made an impactful crossover into South Indian films, especially Telugu cinema. One of her notable collaborations was with Mahesh Babu in the film Murari, where their chemistry drew attention. Their romantic and bold scenes stood out at the time and helped her gain popularity among South Indian audiences as well. She also worked with stars like Nagarjuna and Chiranjeevi, showcasing her ability to adapt across regional film industries.
