Steephan (born on June 29, 2015) is titled as ‘Grand Master’ for identifying the maximum number of species of dinosaurs. He was keenly interested in animals since childhood and was fond of watching dinosaur fossils videos on YouTube. He also liked to collect dinosaur toys at his home.

Everybody was surprised when his record was approved by the India Book of Records (IBR) and the Asia Book of Records (ABR). His teachers and friends were not aware of his interest in dinosaurs. Therefore, they could not believe when they were told about Steephan’s achievement. When asked what kind of challenge he faced while creating the record, he said, “The biggest challenge was to collect the pictures of 119 types of dinosaurs from Google and various books.

Steephan’s parents are working in same company of Al Inmaa Drug Store in Abu Dhabi. The company also honoured Steephan by giving him a special gift for this achievement. His parents say that people should identify the talent of their children by closely observing their day to day activities. BlogsWire

Life is harsh for the LGBTQ community in India . However, some Indo-Canadians are coming out of the shadows, breaking the taboo and living a life they aspired for. All this encapsulated in a new feature documentary ‘Emergence: Out of the Shadows.’  The film has caught the fancy of the North American media. The film, set to hit the Indian screen space soon, is relevant, as all characters have an India connection.

Come summers in the plains and Leh too sheds its blankets of snow and metamorphoses to the world’s largest cold desert on the rocky peaks of Himalayas .

Some people call it La-Dags meaning "Land of High Mountain Passes", some call it " Cold Desert in the Skies" and some refer it as “ Land of Moon ” etc. Ladakh was not a properly known place a few years back, until some curious foreigners explored it and turned it into a potential tourist spot.
