I was one of the Volunteer for the organizing committee (Darpan), during the recently held West Bengal Government Country-wide Theatric workshop known as “Bahirbanga Natyotsab 2019
”.
This program is held in association with Darpan, a Mumbai based dramatic group. There will be two shows- first on Sunday, 03- Mar-2019 (already held) and another on Sunday, 10th March 2019.
The program was started perfectly on time and all guests seated 30mins before the scheduled time of start of program.
The program started with lighting the “Diya” or the lamp and recital of Goddess Saraswati, “Saraswati Vandana”
It was a full house show. We volunteers were strategically located all across the hall for helping the guests.
The theatric presentation took 2 hrs 20mins stage time and was proficiently done and there was no flaw at all. So much so, that people gave a standing ovation to the artists of the theatric group.
Later the chief artist of the theatric group was felicitated
with a trophy of appreciation, a stole and lots of warm affection from everyone present in the auditorium.
It was an honour to have such great artists perform for over 2 hrs 20mins in a live stage show and it was my honour to be a volunteer for this show.
We shall again be organizing another show on coming Sunday 10th March, 2019 with another theatric group from West Bengal, organized in association with the Government of West Bengal, India.
Look Forward to Another Event on Coming Sunday, 10th March 2019!!!!
When we talk about the issues of sustainability, integrated water resources management, climate change, groundwater governance- we actually mention about the currently trending topics in hydrogeology. And it boils down to only one-thing predominantly- how to achieve or maintain long-term sustainability of aquifers worldwide!
So, what we are trying to understand is about “Ground water” and its inter-dependency, relation and economics with “The Society”- that we live in.
Thus, “socio-hydrogeology”, a new insight to groundwater investigations by providing a social dimension into hydrogeological studies and thereby enabling management practices with better support.
This directly boils down to hydrogeological investigations, using a comprehensive, enhanced assessment of the socio-economic implications of the ever-increasing groundwater problems.
This branch of science not only studies the impact of human activities on the baseline characteristics of an aquifer and the impact of groundwater—its quality, its presence and/or it’s scarcity, but moreover to quantify, qualify, assess and economize the
groundwater usage (and it’s users).
Sufficient time is provisioned for interaction with the relevant stakeholders and water users prior to and during such investigations. Thus, investigators can study and diagnose the maximum use of hydrogeological information and outcomes.
This newly emerging field allows hydrogeologists to study the mutual relations between groundwater (nature) and the society (mankind).
This gives a perfect clarity to between state, non-state sectors or across sectors such as agriculture or energy and even understanding the various levels of cooperation between such state, non-state or across sector relationships.
WE NEED TO PRESERVE OUR GROUNDWATER TABLE FOR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS!!!
We started on 22nd December on a road trip of 1400kms across the Indian Sate of Maharashtra and ending at a place called “Gondia” close to Maharashtra-Madhya Pradesh Border.
This year ending trip was attributed to Tiger safaris at various places:
23-24 Dec 2018 Chikaldhara Hill Station/Vairat Zone- Melghat Tiger Reserve
Melghat was one of the first nine tiger reserves declared in 1973-74 under the Project Tiger, situated at Amravati District of Maharashtra State in India.
The Melghat tiger reserve safari was taken on 24th evening, and we didnot find any animals as such in the tiger reserve except Gray langurs or Hanuman langurs, widely spread in the Indian Subcontinent (Old World monkeys).
We were quite disappointed and but ended with a beautiful sunset of the area.
The temperature was around 10 Degrees at that time.
25-26 Dec 2018 Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve
Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve , which is situated in Chandrapur district, of the Indian state of Maharashtra state happens to be the oldest and largest national park in Maharashtra.
We had two safaris here and we really were blessed to see many animals during this trip in this Tiger Reserve.
06:00AM Morning Safari: Junona Zone- Moharli Range
We started the safari in cold dark morning of 26th Dec 2018 and was blessed with views of Deer and “Nilgai” or blue bull which is found mostly in Asian continent.
On the return from the trip, we were fortunate to see Indian sloth bear, crossing the road when our jeep was returning.
02:00PM Afternoon Safari: Kolara Zone- Tadoba Range
Immediately after finshing the morning safari at around 11AM, we went back to Hotel and finish heavy lunch and dashed off for a 65km road trip from Tadoba Junona Gate to Tadoba Kolara Gate and we were just 15mins in time, reached at 01:45PM IST at the Kolara gate (it was really a mad race!).
As per Guide’s information and also sightings reporting in wildtrails.in, we were sure to spot Tigress Junabai with her cubs in this buffer zone.
We waited at the identified water spot, from 02:45 PM till 05:05PM till ,we sighted both the cubs and later celebrated with a bonfire at our resort.
The tiger cubs really made our day!!!!
We also were honored to see few bird species during this”wait” time.
As we were approx 65km away from our resort, we immediately left for the return trip for our evening celebrations at our bonfire.
27-30 Dec 2018 NagziraTiger Reserve : Gondia District
On 27th morning we left from our MTDC Tadoba Resort, after having beautiful memories having seen the Tiger cubs. All throughout discussing about the achievement of seeing two cubs , one 2.5yrs old and another 1.5yrs old.
We were initially scheduled to stay at MTDC Wardha, but it turned out to be a very shabby hotel and stay and after having stayed and lived a “tiger expedition”, we were not ready to stay there.
We immediately contacted our next Hotel resort at Bodhalkasa and moved on the road.
On all three sides there is dense forest, with Bodhalkasa dam on the fourth side, which makes it an idyllic vacation location.
Nagzira wildlife sanctuary, located 15kms from Bodhalkasa lake, is situated between Bhandara district and Gondia district of the Indian State of Maharashtra.
We booked two safaris here, one from Mangazari gate (28th Dec Afternoon) and another from Chokharmara (30th Dec early morning) gate.
On 28th December safari, we waited at various water points but did not see any large animals as such.
We did see large herds of deers. And on the return spotted an Indian bison crossing the road at a distance, close to dusk time.
With regards to 30th Dec morning safari trip, we left on a very chilly early morning with temperatures close to 6-7 Degrees Celsius.
We were very close to a sighting another Tiger but our time ran out of the safari and so had to return unfortunately.
However on the return we were fortunate to capture Sambar (a large deer native to the Indian subcontinent) crossing the road majestically, just in front of our safari jeep.
31st Dec 2018 Return Trip
It was time to start the return journey and after having leisure breakfast and an early lunch at Bodhalkasa MTDC hotel, we got into our return taxi to catch the train.
Our return train was from a very remote village train station known as Tirora.
With this we came to end to an end of our 10 days road trip and Jungle safaris.
Like any other Sunday, it was a eventful day as it was a day for Students and Parents to come together with me to end the whole year’s classes.
The schedule was as below:

Bis 2019, Ich kann Deutsch sprechen und werde Deutsch sprechen!!!
Almost 14 years ago, one of the greatest political leader of India and former successful Prime Minister of India, Late Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, first politically mooted the “country-saving” plan of linking all the Indian rivers.
Project History & Aim: This plan is as old as 1970s, when Dr. K.L. Rao, a dams designer and former irrigation minister first proposed the concept of a “National Water Grid”, which later took the shape of a national body National Water Development Agency (NWDA) in 1982.The project which aimed to level-out uneven water flow in different river basins, was a part of study during my college times, when it was in the initial research phases.
However, it has been consistently attacked by environmentalists and water experts who fear that linking rivers would lead to an irreversible ecological disaster not only for India but neighboring countries as well.
It was envisaged to shift water from the Brahmaputra and lower Ganga basins in eastern India to water scarce regions of western and central India through the construction of reservoirs, dams and over 14,000 kilometres of canals.
As per a recent survey carried out by the Central Government Agency of India, “NITI Aayog” (The National Institution for Transforming India), India has been facing a acute issue of water shortage problem for a long period of time and also this linked with India’s own environmental challenges.
India is not the only country facing this challenge in this world. As per the below analysis, this problem will be multiple-fold by the year 2025. Asian countries will be hit the most, due to very high water consumption/water demand whereas insufficient water supply provisions.
Political Hurdle: As always for any inter-country projects be it transferring gas/oil across the different countries, or flying planes across international zones- the same challenge arises with this one as well.
If the water is diverted from the National Main river, Ganges (Indian name- Ganga), India would then break its official promise to Bangladesh under the 1996 Ganga Water Treaty — that no water would be diverted away from the Ganga above the barrage at Farakka, a few kilometres from the India–Bangladesh border.
But living aside this political hurdle , which we leave the politicians to handle- what are the other challenges then?
Environmental Impacts: The next big topic of discussion for any such cross-country or inter-country projects are the associated environmental impacts as we are trying to change the course for the “nature-driven” flowing perennial rivers and associated linked ground-water table.
The biggest fears for this project is what I described above “altering the natural flow of rivers” which then can result into high possibilities of water-logging, hamper transportation of silt, affect fisheries, submerge forests and reduce water flow in transboundary rivers in downstream Bangladesh.
The Plan & Concept Advantages:
The plan is envisaged around two broad divisions & their inter-linking corridors between them to cover the entire extent of the country:
Himalayan Rivers Development, and
Peninsular Rivers Development
An intrastate component was added in 2005.
The plan is based not only for river-interlinking but various other associated benefits.
First of all, India has no proper intra-country river transportation system which can ease on the challenges of road transportation which India faces daily in & out.
It will conserve the abundant monsoon water bounty, back up in reservoirs & dams and later release this water – using this rivers inter-linking project – to those “identified” water-scarcity areas, where water becomes shortage over a period of time
This project will also offer additional benefits to develop transport infrastructure through navigation, hydro power as well as to increase and link fish farming income sources in rural areas.
India is contributing highly to the Global Carbon footprint, and using such a connected river navigation system is cleaner and will help in low carbon footprint form of transport infrastructure, particularly for mining/ores and food grains.
Current states of the Project & it’s technical challenges:
The first river-interlink created by India -
Narmada-Kshipra Simhastha Linking NKSL (The two rivers are namely Narmada & Kshipra), to tackle water scarcity in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, was commenced in 2012.
As part of India’s first river linking project, water was lifted over 350 metres height and carried over 50 kilometres to the Kshipra river through pipelines using water pumps.
Technical Challenges with the project & in General:
Majority of the highlands & water-needy (dry) dry lands of India are distant from rivers, and usually located at elevations of 300 metres to 1000 metres above mean sea level.
Thus technically, the inter-linking rivers project will serve very few such areas unless, the plan is revisited with revised corridor study and improvising on the position/location of inter-links to main corridors.
Many of the proposed river inter-link corridors are designed to be constructed against the “nature’s current flowing path”. For example, the Ken-Betwa link, proposed in Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, the Ken river will be channeled west against the natural flow. Of course , this will definitely have some ecological impacts, as nature will reverse its current pattern
India is way behind in rainfall conservation and on average currently stores only 30 days of rainfall, while most developed nations strategically store 900 days worth of water demand in arid areas river basins and reservoirs to feed these areas with water, during shortage
India relies heavily on groundwater usage and as per official reports around 20-30 million tube wells are installed in the country.
Around 15-20 percent of India’s food is prepared, sourcing the water based on underground water table, which is really a “Warning Signal”
Associated issues of environmental challenges, pollution, sanitation issues etc, are reminding “India” about urgent remedial measures for sustainable development and management of surface water and groundwater usage
It is time, we revisit our old plans. We have survived the 20th Centrury basic demands, but we need to leave behind the Country and the Planet for the 22nd Century demands as well for the future generations.
Hello and welcome to my Travel Blog Series. I shall be covering with time, the places I have visited in and across India over a period of time whenever I have had the time and budget fitting into my travel expeditions!
For the 1st series I begin with the most beautiful state of Indian continent- Himachal Pradesh, abbreviated popularly as “HP” (Him-chal meaning “snow-laden province”).
HP, a northern Indian state in the Himalayas, has the most scenicc mountain towns and resorts such as Dalhousie and also hosts the Dalai Lama. Having a very strong Tibetan presence, HP has several Buddhist temples and monasteries, as well as its vibrant Tibetan New Year celebrations. The region is also well known for its trekking, climbing and skiing areas. Something which we can see in a place called Rewalsar as well, wherein in the evening around 4:00-6:00 PM , all the town people take rounds around the Central Park (some on cycles, some on foot).
Rewalsar (Tso Pema in Tibetan) – small pilgrimage town , located in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh (HP) India, Elevation- 1,360 m
Well , my journey started from Hazrat Nizammudin Railway station (New Delhi, capital of India) for a 10 day road journey all across the Northern, Eastern and Southern zones of Himachal Pradesh. Covering a road trip distance of approx 1316kms, I would be visiting and halting in the chronological order of
Start at Hazart Nizzamudin/New Delhi
Kasauli
Dharamshala
Chamba , Khajjiar & Khajrot Forest
Rewalsar
Back to New Delhi
Kasauli – colonial-era houses, orchards, 19th Century Christ Church, Baptist Church, horse chestnut and Himalayan oak forests , Elevation- 1,800 m
Kasauli, a very popular hill station in HP is predominantly a cantonment town, located in Solan district in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The cantonment was established by the British Rule in 1842 as a Colonial hill station.
Kasauli is also famous for it’s educational establishments like, Lawrence School Sanawar, The Pinegrove School, St. Mary’s Convent Schoo and Kasauli’s K.V. Air Force Station School.
Dharmshala – Home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile, The Thekchen Chöling Temple Complex, Tibetan Works and Archives Library, located in Kangra District of Himachal Pradesh , Cedar forests , Elevation- 1,457 m
Dharmshala was formerly known as Bhagsu and is the official residence of The Dalai Lama’s and also Central Tibetan Administration headquarters (the Tibetan government in exile). Dharmshala has a vivid and mind-blowing history as well as scenic beauties due to the Dhaola Dhār range which lies 16 miles north-east of Kāngra, in the midst of wild and picturesque scenery. It originally formed a subsidiary cantonment for the troops stationed at Kāngra, and was first occupied as a station in 1849.
Dharmshala town is divided into two regions, Lower and Upper Dharmshala. Around 1958, the Tibetan settlement started when the Dalai Lama had to flee Tibet and the Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, allowed him and his followers to settle in McLeodGanj (in Upper Dharmshala), a former colonial British summer picnic spot.
As of today, several thousand Tibetan exiles are now settled in this area; most live in and around McLeodGanj in Upper Dharamshala, where they have built monasteries, temples and schools. It has definitely an important tourist destination with many hotels and restaurants and the Himachal Pradesh government has declared Dharmshala as the second capital (winter capital) of Himachal Pradesh.
Khajjiar & Khajrot Forest–
Khajjiar, another hill station in the north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, has a high-altitude Khajjiar Lake which is surrounded by cedar forest.
Khajrot State Forest is a national forest reserve and is northeast of Jhuraru, southwest of Bathli and south of Khajjiar. With and an elevation of 2137 metres, snow does fall here and has very narrow motor able roads which can get clogged during snow times. We did land into a issue during this time.
(Please see the 3rd picture below and the video link)
Video Link:
Chamba – situated on River Ravi banks (Trans-Himalayan Indus River), intersecting with the Sal River, very ancient history of Kolian tribes, 2nd century BC, Maru dynasty 500 AD , Elevation- 996 m
The return journey from Chamba to Rewalsar and back to Delhi, saying Audie to the beautiful Land of Himachal Pradesh…….
On our way back from Chamba to Rewalsar to New Delhi, we drove on the State Highway 33, Parel, Himachal Pradesh 176314, there is a “Parel Bridge”, which links Chamba-Pathankot Highway to the famous Kali Mata Mandir.
This bridge was found broken and was astonished by the sight, which is captured in the below picture and the video link.
Video Link:
And further on to the last halt at Rewalsar, which I have shared in the beginning of this post and then moved on to return trip to Delhi.
This ended my 10 days road trip across one of the most enchanting “snow-ladden” region of Indian sub-continent, THE MIGHTY HIMACHAL PRADESH.
Look forward to visit you again, Himachal Pradesh!!
We or individually each one of us are a source of power beyond our own understanding and beyond a unit of measurement.
We resonate in this biotic sphere, just as all living things are resonating and vibrating with energy. The earth is warm not just because of solar energy but because our bodies are continuously transmitting energy into the space (be it minute or measurable amount!)
I earlier was a self-practitioner of Tai-chi and learned it during school days from a trained instructor and practiced it regularly till early work life.
Moving on from there, recently I have completed Shoden or Level 1 Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, I am now moving on to Level 2 and then finally Master Level.
Shoden Level I (Japanese: Beginner Teachings) : The first level opens the channels of energy. This attunement brings oneself into the realm of Reiki and its uses. All self-obstacles are removed during this level.
Okuden Level II (Japanese: Hidden or Inner Teachings) :The second level focuses on healing others as well as the self and used Reiki power symbol, the mental symbol and the distance symbol. These are used to allow the practitioners to connect on a deeper level to the universal energy.
Shinpiden Level III / Master (Japanese: Mystery Teachings) : Known as the Master level, it is often referred to as the higher energy channel. It is an intense spiritual level and we learn that each person is in charge of his/her own destiny. This level truly aims to reveal our true path in life.
I am receiving my attunement process under the able guidance of Reiki Master & Teacher, Lisa Powers, B.Ki, B. Ed.
My Master/Teacher has pursued Kinesiology and B.Ed degree in University and after graduation, has continued over almost 15 years into Reiki, receiving her attunements and Reiki Master Certification. She is also the Director of the International Reiki Organization.
As I have been a self-practitioner of Tai-chai and now moving on to Level II/Okuden, on 16th December 2018- I am holding a group meditation, Tai-chi and Reiki principle hand position session with my students..I look forward to this eventful day of my life and others.
I will be able to complete my Level III, Shinpiden around February or March 2019, after I receive my final attunement with my Master/Teacher. I eagerly look forward to my journey with “Reiki” - an universal energy that has been used successfully all over the world to heal emotional, physical and energetic imbalances.
What is possible for a Reiki Master?
We must understand that “Reiki master” can be an ongoing process involving continuous personal growth.While a lot can be written in depth and length- let me summarize it as below.
After the master attunement and the use of the master symbol, this will open up limitless potential of Reiki and to develop within ourselves the qualities that are contained in the Reiki energy. Reiki energy that is not limited by its immense potential to heal virtually all illness but that it also provides the power for unlimited love, joy, peace, compassion, wisdom, abundance and even more.
Reiki Master provides the journey to the beneficial healing power that lies within us and we just need to energize ourselves taking the benefits of positions, chakras, meditation and the pseudo-science. This will allow us and others to heal more deeply. It is also possible that Reiki will enlighten us to other alternative healing techniques that may be uses in addition to Reiki.
Revealing the Secrets of The Spectacular Valley of The Kings
The Valley of the Kings is the most famous royal burial ground in the world, which was known as The Valley of the Gates of the Kings. It stands on the West bank of the Nile River. The valley contains 63 tombs and chambers including the tombs of the major royal figures of the Egyptian New Kingdom. The tombs inside the valley are decorated with scenes from Egyptian mythology. The most interesting thing about the Valley is the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamun inside it. It became a World Heritage Site in 1979.
