IHC - Children's Day Celebrations

 


It has been more than 2 years now since we started working on Indian Heroes Calendar (IHC). After working on over 200+ stories for over a year, we had started 'Fun with Heroes' online sessions to tell stories about India's heroes to the young generation. After conducting sessions for a over a year, we decided to take a break.

Recently, Sanskriti School reached out through its Parents Outreach program to conduct similar session for their students. We decided to cover four stories of heroes from different fields that would create interest in these students.

Finally, the session was conducted as a part of the Children's Day celebrations on Nov 14, 2022. Students of classes 4, 5 and 6 attended this online session. We covered following stories:
  • Jawaharlal Nehru
  • Subedar Joginder Singh
  • Dr Verghese Kurien
  • Jamsetji Tata

The sessions included Fun Q & A and even a Quiz (link below). Students showed great enthusiasm and were quite active during the session. The session was possible due to the efforts of Shaily teacher of Sanskriti School. We are extremely thankful Sanskriti School for their support and genuine interest.

The purpose of such sessions is to provide an interesting and encouraging introduction about each hero. Once readers get to know about the hero, they can explore them in greater details through various books and other resources.

My Soldierathon 2023 Experience: A Marathon for a Cause

Image
The Capriccio Gang Back: Shreyas, Sharad, Indivar, Jyoti Front: Nimesh, Samarth, Aurnab, Neha The Pre-Phase It all started when I came across following post in one of the WA group about the CME Soldierathon organized by Fitistan . Having already run Lokmat Marathon earlier this year, we were waiting for the winter to arrive to participate in the next marathon. The chance to go inside the CME campus which is usually closed for civilians inspired us to enthusiastically participate in this event. The event was aimed at raising funds and awareness for the paraplegics, who are the soldiers who have lost their limbs or mobility due to war or accidents. After doing the registrations for our Capriccio gang, on Dec 9, we visited PRC (Paraplegic Rehabilitation Center) to collect the BIB and Goodies bag.  At the venue on the D-Day #RuknaManaHai At PRC to collect BIB The Start The marathon day arrived soon. While my body and mind were not exactly in an ideal conditions, somehow things fell in lin

Arunachal Pradesh Diary : Chapter 4 - Bum La and North Tawang

Image
We started our Arunachal Pradesh journey from the Guwahati Airport. We explored Dirang and Bomdila in   Chapter 1 . From there, we reached Tawang in   Chapter 2 . Once in Tawang, we covered the nearby places in   Chapter 3 . Now, in the final chapter of our Arunachal journey, we'll be going north of Tawang, along the snow-capped mountains, exploring the beauty of Himalayas and ultimately reaching the China border at the Bumla pass. It is recommended to read journey so-far in earlier chapters before continuing. Travel Advisory: Tawang is at the altitude of approx. 10000 ft. The altitude will keep on increasing during the journey towards the north of Tawang. So it is advisable to get used to the altitude and climate. Y-Junction We started our journey towards the Gurudwara and Sungester lake at around 9 am from Tawang. After crossing the town, our upward journey continued in the mountains. While the distances in kms might look smaller, it takes reasonable time to cover these places as

Book Review - The Battle of Rezang La

Image
Background 1962 Sino-Indian war happened some 60 years ago. While we rightly celebrate our victories in other wars fought over the last 75 years, the loss of 1962 is not discussed. Despite the loss, the raw courage shown by the Indian armed forces in the absence of modern facilities in extreme whether conditions was bravery of the highest class. The stories related to this war has always fascinated me. I got good information about the war fought in NEFA during our visit to Tawang and Bumla last year. This book The Battle of Rezang La  provides quite a comprehensive account about the war fought in the Ladakh region, especially the Rezang La battle fought by the Charlie Company.   Preface Ram Chander and Nihal Singh were captured by the Chinese soldiers during the battle on 18 November 1962.  They managed to escape and survived the battle injuries to reach back to the Indian camp in extreme conditions. When they narrated the details of the war, their truth about the battle was not accept
