Qamar Mohsin Shaikh was born in Pakistan, but settled in Ahmedabad after her marriage.

She has been tying rakhi to her brother Narendra D Modi for the last few years.

"This time I have made the rakhi myself," she says. The PM apparently likes handmade rakhis.

And she has a special gift for him as well.

The location does not matter -- they are experts carrying out their duties on land, in the air and in water.

Here they are, showcasing how they can be airlifted to tackle any dangerous situation.
