Bhubaneswar: Cyclone ‘Titli ’, which made the landfall near Palasa along the northern coast of Andhra Pradesh in the early hours of October 11, that brought damaging winds and heavy rain, showered joy for some.

Parents in some areas, which were not much affected by the severe cyclonic storm, have named their newborn baby girls as ‘Titli’ in remembrance of the day it struck the land and left behind a trail of devastation.

At the time, when the state was experiencing the impact of the disaster ‘Titli’, simultaneously many baby girls were also born. Interestingly, parents appeared to be fascinated by the word Titli, which is a Pakistani term for butterfly.

One Kalyani Nayak also gave birth her ‘Titli’ the same day.

In Jagatsinghpur district headquarters hospital, as many as 17 babies were born on Thursday. Most of the baby girls’ mothers are interested to name their daughters after ‘Titli’, though they were in a panic as news of the disaster that followed poured in.
