NGO "Apna Ghar"

Even in this engrossed social-media world, I somehow, lately encountered this rare kind of existing NGO. When I came across and got to know the motive with which they have embarked on their journey, I instantly, got deeply moved. Every beat of my heart was like, blessing them, appreciating them, that how heroic and how selfless they are! 

A story, came into existence years back. Respected Dr. Brij Mohan Bhardwaj initiated his "Mission of serving and helping all those destitute persons who are completely homeless, helpless and hopeless" by bringing them to their own established NGO, called "Apna Ghar" (means a Residential Home of every destitute). His educated and thoughtful wife, Mrs. Madhuri Bhardwaj whole-heartedly welcomed and supported him to the best. Since then, this Couple along with their dedicated work-mates provide food, clothing, shelter, medical treatment, education etc, to all the "inmates" (NGO referred them a religious name called as- "Prabhuji") residing there.
Before entering the "Apna Ghar", these Inmates were found in all dying and miserable conditions, mostly we can't even dare to see. So, touching, asking, enquiring, donating, helping are far away! But, they were all embraced and taken from common streets, roadsides, railway-stations, public places etc. Available 24×7, Rescue team pick up Prabhujis' in their extremely unhygienic, critically diseased, oppressed, injured and painful plight. 
After bringing them, they offer all possible help whether  physically or mentally! They treat and upgrade the life of the deceased with love, care and support so that they could start counting themselves as a part of society. After recovery, they try hard to search for their families and relatives and if possible, Prabhujis get reunited with their families. Not only human beings, they also treat and care for injured and diseased animals. They are offering Eternal good deeds to the society and feel Ecstatic in return! What else, I could say!!

What is inspiration in real terms? Well, I would say- A "positive energy" which is massively competent, that converts a hopeless into a new hope! A "dexterous ability" that transforms a dreadful into something secure. And, to me, Mr. Bhardwaj couple is a true and genuine Inspiration from every angle and each aspect.

I have chosen to write on it, absolutely not because they need any kind of recognition but because they simply need needies! If you are all heart, then they need helping hands. If you wish to connect, then they need volunteers. If you are able enough and desirous to do good, then they need financial support. Moreover, they just need a single phone-call from you, if you encounter such "prabhujis" or injured animals anywhere.

Metaphorically, if my pen could sense the dedication of Mr.Bhardwaj and his whole organization, why can't we! I believe, strong inspiration comes from within. So, Don't stop and let your feelings ooze out. Follow your conscience to attempt some Noble. Get inspired and let others inspire. Keep in mind, it all starts with you!

Thought it days back to ink down, but actually writing and sharing today.  Mr.Bhardwaj and his team are trying all hard to bounce back the smiles. So, can't we too add-on in spreading smiles!

Puzzle Day, 29th January!

Popular five entertaining puzzles!


There are numerous types of puzzle games available nowadays, like mathematics puzzles logic puzzles, pattern guessing, cryptic riddle, word puzzles, etc. These games can be played offline and online. We are herewith, mentioning top popular puzzles among people for which some are obsessed to play.


1.Sudoku : 

Sudoku is a common puzzle game, plays by all- understanding age groups. It is the most popular and loving game that came into existence in the 19th century. Initially, it came only onto the pages of newspapers and interestingly to the modern world, it still comes daily in the newspaper.


As we know, most games are available online today. Likewise, Sudoku can also be played online through certain App or sites on the internet.


It is also called a "number place game" which consists of hexagon cell box of  9*9 grid lines, vertically and horizontally. You have to fill numbers coming between 1 to 9. Numbers must not be repetitive and one must note that the bold square forming into the whole grid box, should also contain numbers 1 to 9 unrepeatedly.



2.Cicada3301:

The second one, I am talking about is Cicada, "cicada 3301". It was first witnessed in the year 2012, which you can say, recently developed!


Let me tell you guys, it is a game which is not at all easy! Despite that, people love to play and make an attempt to this tough play game, to check over their intelligence Quotient.


It is a sort of enigmatic or you can say the cryptic type of puzzle game, which is played on the internet. One has to possess mindful skills because clues given in this game, are so unclear that you have to crack it. Clues are given with reference to Anglo Saxon rules which leads you to the real existing locations. It flashes you an online encrypted message that you have to decode first! And for that, you need the assistance of software to crack it down. People employ the well-designed "Steganography" software for decoding purposes. Players will get certain instructions with an image of the cicada to get on to the next level or step of the game. This is how the game continues and goes on.


3. Can you crack it:

It is also an online game that you can play through a certain website or app on your Android phone.


This is one of the brainstorming puzzle games where you will find endless challenges to be in the game. It is mostly a strategic and analytical game because you have to organize the available information in a systematic and wise manner.


This game gives you the challenge to find three correct numbers, from five riddles to unlock each key and thereby get the scores. Only three numbers are correct to open the key. Once you are able to unlock the code you can proceed over the game and yes, for your ease, you can surely get the help of Google also, in case, you are unable to crack the exact and correct code.

One should understand that it is totally an intriguing puzzle game which is definitely hard from cicada as mentioned above.


4. Rubik's cube:

It was invented by Erno Rubik, a Hungarian Architect. This game came into the picture in 1974. It's quite an old game but no matter, yet popular!


It is a mathematical puzzle game, that will enhance your diverse thinking and logical reasoning. Moreover, you need to rely on your lateral thinking ability rather than just calculation.


First, get yourself familiarize with this game so that possibly you can solve it all. Actually, solving the first face of Rubik's cube is relatively easier but after that, players get stuck. This cube comprises colorful pieces of the centerpiece, edges 12 and corner 8. The game is finished once you assemble each side of the cube (sides of a different color) with the same color (each 9 piece side with the same color). And, that's not everyone's cup of tea!


You can play this game starting analyzing its edges and then a corner. Be clear that the side colors are matching the side center colors.

You should play strategically and use algorithms because it contains certain configurations too. But remember, you should not always memorize algorithms, just follow your instincts!


5.Pyraminx:

The last, among popular puzzle games, is The Pyraminx. It came out in the year 1971 which was invented by Uwe Meffert, from Germany. 


It is the most demanding puzzle cube game after the launch and success of the Rubik cube. In fact, it will be interesting to know that it is the second best selling puzzle in the world.


The Pyraminx is a tetrahedron in a shape structure. It is also a brain therapy puzzle that comprises three layers, four triangular faces, and nine identical smaller triangles. It is always the small pieces that make the big picture and for this game particularly, I want to mention that once you get on this puzzle! you can't get off. Though you have to be relentlessly persistent and master your intellectual skills and abilities. Once you experience this game, you will find it all together challenging, addicting, fun, and educational.


Others

There are other unique and entertaining puzzle games available online which one can play according to their skills and interests. So, this is how you can utilize your leisure time playing such fun games and offer challenging exercise to your brain.

Nathula Pass (Indo-China border)

Experience:Adventures at an India border! 
Nathula, "A crucial visit" of our Sikkim travel trip.Recently, on 01/01/2020(early morning of New year's day) ,we left around 7:30A.M.from our stay,Gangtok.

I experienced numerous things which I would like to pen down here and that may work as a detailed guideline too, if you are interested to see Nathula. 

Things:

•Nathula pass
Among other Indian borders, Nathula Paas is a must spectacular India-China Border (Sikkim, India and Tibet, China). It is a Mountain pass in the snowcapped Himalayas in East Sikkim.

•Why to visit Nathula? 
The very first reason, of course, its unique and alluring scenic view. You will amazed to see the glory of open vistas and snowladed surreal mountains.

Other, that it contributes to our Nation's economy! It is a trading border pass which strengthened our existing economy. 

Thirdly, It has shortened the distance for Hindu (Kailash Mansarovar) and Buddhists pilgrimage and made quite a smooth way to reach there, which was not possible earlier. 

•Distance from Gangtok : 
To reach Nathula, it are bound to cross 54 kms, from Gangtok! It is situated at an altitude of 14140 ft. from the sea level. 

•Permit: 
Permit is mandatorily required, if you want to go to Nathula, which is issued by the Sikkim Tourism Department in Gangtok. 

•Cost : 
Around Rs. 4000/-for cab and Rs. 200/-per person permit charges. 

•Douments: 
You definitely need certain documents with you to get a permit. So,dont forget to carry below mentioned documents :-
photo ID proofs and at least two passport sized photos. For safer side, keep more copies of above documents. 

You can apply and consult through some registered travel agency. We did the same. 

•Holidays: 
Nathula is closed on "Monday and Tuesday" every week. So, be cautious and aware by. Do a check, before heading! 

•Best time to visit: 
Well, if you didn't ever witnessed a snow look all around stiff mountains, lake, waterfalls, surroundings etc, you should go in winters for sure!  
As I told you, we were there, on this January, day one! The temperature, we came across was (negative)-10°.Our body started to get numb, but believe me, memories you make here, will always keep you warm! Ecstatic it is! 

Rest, usually people go between May to November amidst positive sign temperature (upto 8-10°).

•Winter clothing and accessories :
 From tip to toe, Keep all sufficient Winter and woollen wears with you viz, thermals, sweaters, winter coats, muffler, caps, mittens/gloves, sport shoes ,snow-boots (you get on rent also on the way)etc. Don't anyway, forget your goggles(ofcourse ,for getting stunning photos)! 

•Photography :
One thing is important to know that you are "not allowed" to take pictures and click photos at Nathula. But, wait! you are, all allowed to take photographs at your parking place or near milestone mentioning 14140ft.
However, it also depends on Army men controlling there. 

I have seen that tourists, who were not listening and not following rules, our Armymen seized their mobile phones or camera. I believe, they have returned them while returning from Nathula.

•Tsomgo /Changu Lake: 
Both names are same, Changu is a regional word(means source of water).
It comes on the way to Nathula. It is 40kms. from Gangtok. 
Must see! Apart from natural view, Yak riding is there and a ropeway too. However, rope way was closed by the time we approached there. 
Overall, it was adventurous and scintillating visit to all my group members.
Readers, I hope, you got some useful and interesting information from my short Nathula blog.
