Here comes her own poem;

वो जो बीती पुरानी बातें हैं

कहां वो सब भूलने वाली हैँ 

यादें को सबसे अच्छी हैँ

जो स्कूल की यादें 

हम सब कैस भूल सकते हैं 

वो खेलना वो पढ़ना वो बातें करना 

वो मस्ती करना 

और वो टीचर को परेशान करना 

टीचर की हा में हा मिलाना और उनका सारा काम करना

यह सब  हम कैसे भूल सकते हैं 

यहां से जाएंगे तो वो सारी यादें साथ समेट कर ले जाएंगे 

जो हमारे स्कूल से जुड़ी हुई है 

कुछ भी कहो यह स्कूल हमारा ही है ना

Woh jo beeti purani Baaten hain,

Kahan who sab bhoolne wali hain

Yaadein jo sabsi ache hain

Jo school ki yaadein

Hum sab kaise bhool sakte Hain

Woh khelna who padna who baaten karna,

Who masti karma aur woh teachers ko pareshan karna

Teachers ki haan mein haan milana aur unka saara kaa karna

Yeh sab hum kaise bhool sakte hain

Yahan se jayenge to who saare yaadein saath samet kar le jayenge

Jo hamare school se Judi hui hai

Kuchh chi Kaho yeh school to hamara hi hai…

She also shared pics of her felicitation at her school after attending Saksham Sanchar Foundation workshop held in Udaipur. Here comes the pics:

“Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.”― Confucius

We often say that, if we never fail we never learn but let me prove this to you with the inspiring journey of an Indian Defence Accounts Service (IDAS) officer from a small village of Nimbahera.

Kamal Choudhary a resident of  Baadi village, Nimbahera, Chittorgarh is someone who proved with his hard work and dedication that everyone carries the potential inside themselves which can make them from nothing to something. Shubham Kumawat reports….

Born on 21 February, 1984 and raised by a middle class farmers family, he intended himself in becoming successful one day. But in this journey to success, there is always ‘we’ and not just me, and in this case, it was his father who stood behind him and supported him constantly. Despite being a small farmer, his father understood the importance of education and inspired not just Kamal but all his four children to study more.

Kamal was not as good in other students in his school days. He never considered himself so intelligent and bright like others but these things never let his spirit down. Despite flunking his class 9th exams and getting supplementary in 10th, he never underestimated the importance of education in his life.

Those failures further helped him in making his life goals, it became a progress for his success. He realized the importance of education and decided on becoming an IAS officer. But goals dont come true with decision but it comes true with dedication, he puts a lot of efforts on it, studied for almost 15-16 hours a day. His hardwork paid off and he became an IADS officer. This small failure in his life was like stairs for him through which he climbed up and reached his goals.

Kamal got many job opportunities during his journey but he never accepted one , his goal was clear and he always looked forward to it. His journey was not easy but with his perservence, learning, sacrifice and labor, he achieved them all.

He says, ” Write down the goal you want to achieve in life on a wall, keep working hard on it and one day you will surely get it”. He always believes that, ” If you admit it, it’s a loss but if you decide you win”. He still considers himself in a journey to success and says that he still has a long way to go.

Mr. Kamal is also a great friend to many, with his modest and humble nature he has always helped his friends along in his journey. Because of not being financially stable many of his frinds couldn’t continue their study but Mr.Kamal helped his friends  financially too.

MUSAN a terribly beautiful underwater sculpture museum located off the coast of Pernera beach in southeast Cyprus will give you a rush of adrenaline. This explosion of artwork will let you explore the nature profoundly.

The artist behind this wonderful natural art is none other than Jason deCaires Taylor, the ace of making marine sculptures. Taylor had worked on many underwater projects before including the Molinere Bay Underwater Sculpture Park in Grenada and Mexico’s Isla Mujeres National Marine Park. He is the creator of the world’s first underwater sculpture park. Taylor’s works are no less than wonders that blows our mind, he aims at making works of art that turns into living breathing ecosystem.

The underwater museum which resembles a forest, costed nearly $1.1 million to bring into existence. The museum is situated within a marine protected area about 200 metres from Pernera beach.

MUSAN: This horrifyingly beautiful underwater forest in Cyprus will sweep you off your feet...

The museum is placed in a beautiful, crystal clear sandy substrate and consists of around 93 sculptures, set between 8 and 10 meters of depth. The forest is made from pH neutral materials to avoid impacting the marine environment negatively.

With prioritizing the importance of marine lives, all the floating elements and sculptures are made from high grade marine stainless steel and the cement elements are made from pH neutral concrete. This will not only avoid marine pollution but will actually become habitat spaces for marine creatures. As a lot of sculptures transforms and promote coral and sponges growth which will eventually serve as home for marine life in future.

The sculptures are created and placed in such a way in the ocean that they not only exist on the sea floor but also traverse the water column and reach up to the surface which gives a very mythical and complex experience.

The main aim behind the creation of this underwater forest is to highlight the need to rewild the oceans which has been seriously depleted in the Mediterranean over the past 20 years.

According to Taylor his Sculptures works on a twofold purpose, first is work of art which mainly discuss social issues but also as living breathing artificial reefs. And the second is about creating and experience which will make people fall in love with marine world again.

Each sculptures serves different purpose, one of them intents at drawing the tourist away from fragile habitats, others are to highlight some of the issues surrounding global warming and climate change.

Mud house, as pretty as it sound, it is the only Natural shelter a human can make without harming the environment. A simple house build predominantly of mud carries tons of advantages within which is still unknown by many.

The idea of mud house is not something new or innovative but it has been in India from an ancient time. People have been building such houses for thousands of years. It may sound a little surprising but In India there are almost 65 millions mud houses.

These small eco friendly hut like houses are also very famous in some parts of Rajasthan. Due to its plenty of benefits these ancient houses stand still in many villages.

One such example is from a village of Nimbhera, Rajasthan. This simple and delicate mud house is about 70-80 years old. It has been home to a family for many generations and is still standing strong.

This house is nothing less than a heaven on Earth. Surrounded with the paste of mitti and cow dung (Gobad) with a wooden roof, this mud house is very beneficial for our health.

This house is made from the mixture of mud and cow dung and is also a great storage area for rice, wheat and pulses. This house remains warm in winter and cool in summer which is a very favourable environment in a place like Rajasthan.

There is no doubt that these mud houses are eco friendly but this is not it, they offers more such advantages which makes them one of the significant housing option.

Mud houses are very cost effective, strong and disaster resistant and can stand still for hundred of years if protected well enough. They have also good resistance to fire which is a great thing.

These Earthy houses are also naturally insulated thus providing thermal comfort inside the house. Now, who need ACs when you can keep yourself cool around mud walls. As these walls lower the temperature during summertime it cools down the environment and during winters it keeps you warm like a blanket.

Other than that, mud walls are good for sound proofing. One of the exceptional benefit is that they are recyclable and biodegradable, you can break it down anytime and rebuilt it too without harming the environment.

These mud houses are found everywhere in Rajasthan’s Barmer district. After the devastating flood of 2006, a Delhi-based non-profit organisation Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society (SEEDS) built these eco friendly houses for people who lost their houses in disaster.

Even with new innovations and technology nothing can ever beat the potential of Mud houses.
