Since childhood, you must have come across the proverb that those who make an effort never face defeat, and without hard work, no one's narrative materializes. This very tale echoes the remarkable journey of PT Usha, India's pioneering female athlete, who conquered significant milestones in the 1950s and 1960s, elevating the nation's sense of pride.On her 59th birthday, India's legendary athlete, fondly known as the "Flying Fairy," is commemorating this special milestone. While Milkha Singh left an indelible mark in Indian track and field history with his achievements in the men's category, it was PT Usha (Pilavullakandi Thekkeparambil) who emerged as a trailblazer in the women's domain. Hailing from the picturesque village of Payyoli in Kerala's Kozhikode district, PT Usha celebrates her 59th birthday today, a testament to her extraordinary journey.
