"Courage Has No Age": Woman Completes 10,000-Foot Skydive On 80th Birthday
An eighty-year-old woman has become the oldest Indian woman to complete a tandem skydive. Dr Shraddha Chauhan, mother of Retired Brigadier Saurabh Singh Shekhawat, jumped from a height of 10,000 feet on her 80th birthday to make it to the record books. Despite battling vertigo, cervical spondylitis and spinal disc issues, Dr Chauhan took the plunge at Skyhigh India, at Narnaul Airstrip in Haryana, two hours from Delhi. It is the country's only certified civilian drop zone. In a video shared by Skyhigh India's official Instagram, Dr Chauhan is seen preparing for her jump with the support of her son, one of India's most decorated Army officers. "She is my mother. Turning 80 years, and today, I have the good fortune and honour of jumping with her," he says in the clip. "Happy Birthday," he said, as his mother planted a kiss on his cheek. The 80-year-old said, "The desire I had in my heart, to fly in the sky like an aeroplane, today my son has fulfilled that wish. It's a very proud moment". The video shows the brigadier helping his mother stretch and warm up before the flight. Onboard the aircraft, he assists her with the gear, and moments later, the duo free-falls into the blue. A GoPro camera captured the wind whipping against their faces and the breathtaking fall. As her feet touched the ground, Dr Chauhan made history. Many came to congratulate her and wish her a happy birthday. The caption read, "She is now the oldest Indian woman to do a tandem skydive - and the oldest to do so within India. A mother. A milestone. A moment that soared. Courage knows no age. Love has no altitude." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Skyhigh (@skyhighindia)

Hop to It: Beer Cocktails That Deserve a Spot at Your Next House Party
Last Updated: If you've never had a beer cocktail, you're missing the most refreshing cocktail spin. World Cocktail Day is the ideal reason to shake things up—and no, we don't mean the typical mixers. If you've never had a beer cocktail, you're missing the most refreshing cocktail spin. From citrus mixes to spicy stouts, these simple beers are house party staples waiting to take center stage. Medusa Radler is a refreshing, low-alcohol beer cocktail that is great for consuming during warm weather and easy sipping. To enjoy this German drink, combine 150 ml of cold Medusa Air (Medusa's mild beer variant with 4.5% ABV brewed using 2-row barley malt) with 150 ml of grapefruit or lemon soda. Add soda into a tall glass, then slowly top it up with Medusa Air to preserve the fizz. Stir gently if necessary and garnish the drink with lemon for a citrusy touch. The smooth, balanced flavor of Medusa Air, along with its slight bitterness, complements the tang of the soda, making it a perfect option for this classic German-style cocktail. The drink is refreshing and crisp, still has the essence of beer and citrusy brightness, making it ideal for afternoons and informal gatherings. Proost It's a hot day, the friends are over, and you're in the mood to experiment. You fill a glass with some orange juice, add a splash of lime, a dash of honey for sweetness, and a pinch of black salt for that desi flavor. Stir it well, then slowly add chilled Proost Premium Beer (6.8% ABV). See the golden fizz rise, it's like a sunset in a glass. One sip, and it's fresh, smooth, and just enough kick. No special tools, no great effort. Just good vibes and a great drink. Cheers to simple evenings! Lone Wolf At Lone Wolf, we believe bold beers deserve equally bold companions, and our beer cocktails are anything but average. These inventive brews bring the bite, the buzz, and the unmistakable character of Lone Wolf into every sip. Meet the Lone Michelada, a fearless twist on the classic, crafted with the tropical sweetness of 30 ml mango juice, the sharp zest of 15 ml lime juice, a fiery kick from 3 dashes of Tabasco, and a dusting of crushed pepper, all brought together with a refreshing top-up of Lone Wolf WILD. For those who prefer a fruit-forward adventure, the Alpha Berry Mimosa is your juicy detour from the usual, blending 10 ml strawberry syrup, 30 ml orange juice, and 10 ml lime juice, finished with a lively pour of Lone Wolf ALPHA beer for a bright, effervescent experience. And if you like your sips bold and blazing, the Lone Blaze is here to deliver: a vivid, bittersweet blend of 30 ml Aperol and 30 ml lemon juice, topped generously with MAVRICK beer, served over ice, and garnished with a lemon twist and cherries. Each cocktail is a new way to unleash your wild side — one Lone Wolf brew at a time. Simba A bold, indulgent cocktail blending craft beer and coffee, perfect for evening sipping or dessert pairings. It combines the roasted notes of Simba Stout (chocolate, coffee, caramel) with the smooth bitterness of cold brew coffee. To make it: pour 150 ml Simba Stout into a chilled glass, add 100 ml unsweetened cold brew, a dash of vanilla or coffee liqueur, stir gently, and serve over a large ice cube. Garnish with roasted coffee beans or an orange peel. A velvety, layered drink, creamy, bold, and ideal for post-dinner unwinding. First Published:
