"What's next - where are we heading, Uncle?", I asked the driver. "Tibetan Refugee Center, it is, Bhaiya Ji!", he replied. Excited to sense a refugee centre, for the first time, I geared myself with my pullover to step outside the car. As we moved closer and above the sea level I was only more intrigued to discover what's out there! As I descended the vehicle, I was greeted with the cold breeze and mesmerised by the heavenly Kanchenjunga range. The scenic view from the Tibetan Refugee Self-Help Centre, Darjeeling Moving closer to the arena, I glanced at a tin shack premise painted in "Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre", and I realised that this centre was 'self-propelled' by the refugees since 1959. One of the many buildings in the centre The centre is a mini-village accommodating nearly 800 Tibetans hosting a beautiful Buddha Monastery, a school for the tiny Tibetans and Handicrafts as well as Handloom workshop

Bathtubs. Did you know that  when you take your heavenly bath in a bathtub, you use a whopping 60–70 gallons of water  at least, while  it only makes around 10–20 gallons of water to take a shower.  The difference is huge! Coming to the reason as to why bathtubs will be illegal,  let's look at some water statistics: By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas. 31% of schools don’t have clean water. 3.6 billion people worldwide (nearly half the global population) are already living in potential water-scarce regions at least one month per year, and this could increase to 4.8–5.7 billion in 2050. Two-thirds of the world’s population currently live in areas that experience water scarcity for at least one month a year. In Cape Town, one of South Africa's biggest cities, the government announced: “day zero” – when dam levels would be so low that they would turn off the taps in Cape Town and send people to communal water collection poi

Delegates, Faculty Advisors, and Distinguished Guests Welcome to the first edition of Bhilwara Model United Nation s, the very first conference in the entire Rajasthan to have associated with the United Nations Organisation for the promotion of Sustainable Development Goals.  This is Vaibhav Jain, and it is my distinct pleasure to serve as the Secretary-General for the Bhilwara Model United Nations, the year 2018.  This day is what we have been dreading about and are geared up to.

Pigeon on a mission! Last evening, the sky was a blanket of grey, with some blue blotches in it. These clouds seemed ominous, like a malevolent angel. Every time I look up in the sky, I find flocks of pigeons rushing to their homes, with their friends and family to safeguard their children. The exact moment I captured this under my lens, I felt that this little one may have also lost his flock of pigeons and was more panicked to reach his home to make sure his family is all safe. The sky was beautiful but unpredictable. I was rejoiced by the beauty of nature but frightened to foretell what would this one do. This little bird silhouettes that it returns home in a rush after finding it's dinner, in the gloomy evening! I hope the pigeon reached its destination safe & sound.
