Rise above fear - Dar ke aage jeet hai !

We were going to Hemkunt Sahib in Uttranchal. We can go only upto the Gobind Ghat by car, where we have to park our car & than we have to walk 21 Kms one side. It’s a 42 Km walk both ways. We reached Gobind ghat by around 1pm. We parked our car, went to the Gurudwara & than took the langer. It was almost 2.30 pm by that time. 

We asked the sewadar at the Bridge ( place to start the journey ), that, is it safe now to move ahead. Sewadar just pronounced the Sikh Slogan, “ Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal”. 

I knew it very well that if we start so late, it may be dangerous for all of us as it's very risky to move in the hills at late hours, and that too, without any security. But i knew that if we don't start by now, we will be delayed by a day atleast. So taking the big risk, we started our journey. Me & my wife were walking and our two daughters were on the kathi, on the back of two persons, who do this job against money.

It was a beautiful view all around. We clicked so many pics. Our first stoppage was to be at 15 kms and the next day with 7 kms. But soon we realized, that this 15 Kms by walk on hills was not lesser in any way and that too when we started our journey at around 2.40 pm.

Anyhow, we kept walking. We had no time to rest as it was already very late. And soon we shivered out of a mix of a Chill & Fear. It was now 7 pm and total dark all around and we found our selves all alone on the way. It was shocking for all of us. With my wife & 2 kids with me, I just shivered on finding us alone at dark.

We saw a Dhaba and we took some tea from him as it was already cold. We checked from Dhaba wala that can we stay at his Dhaba for the night. His reply was even more shocking for us. He told that he will soon close the Dhaba & rush to his home as Bears roam in this area during nights. Even my wife shivered on hearing this. We just could not understand that how to move further in that dark and a big Fear of bears gripped all of us.

Luckily a person reached there & told us to wait at the Dhaba itself as few more persons will be reaching the spot soon and we should move in a group. After almost an hour, that group reached us & we again started our journey.

A guide was there in that group, who offered a short cut way. Everyone agreed. But a shortcut in hills and that too at 9 pm, in the dark, is more than enough to give you a shiver. And yeah, we all really shivered as we were passing from a stretch which had a deep ditch at just 24 inches on our left and we had no lights.

We just remembered the Mountain Dew slogan that, “ DAR KE AAGE JEET HAI”. Yeah we passed the two fearful hurdles. Now there was no fear of bears any more. Now we were not alone. We reached the Army base & soon we reached the Gobind dham, our first stoppage.

We just took a room in a small hotel & in minutes we were in deep sleep. The fear was over & in the morning we were on the way to Gurudwara Hemkunt sahib which is at 15200 Ft from the ground level. It was ice all over. The amazing view, the amazing gurudwara, the amazing journey that taught us a lot. 

The amazing  journey that forced us to remember the Dew slogan, that, DAR KE AAGE JEET HAI”. Yeah, we had entered the FEAR, fear of bears, fear of ditches in the dark with small kids, but we emerged as the winners.

I know Telugu very well. I can read, speak & write Telugu. So a video of Mountain Dew in Telugu language is being embedded below. Must view this Dew Film :

You too must taste Mountain Dew as there is no life until & unless you enter the Fear & come out of it as a winner. You can join Mountain Dew at : https://www.facebook.com/mountaindewindia

Banega Swachh India !

Marathon to run for a  cause & Cleanathon to make India – A Swachh India. What a combination.  A Top most Actor, Sh Amitabh Bachchan, a Top most Hygienic agent, Dettol, and a Top most TV channel, NDTV, all together, ( under the guidance of a Top most leader, Sh Narendra Modi ),  on a common journey, covering 8 states & 400 villages, to make our motherland, a Swachh India. A swachh & hygienic India with no sanitation issues  in any home, locality, city or even the remotest village.

It’s the Golden opportunity when our Govt., our Corporate sector, our brand ambassador & our media will move together. We must join them if we want to move towards a Swachh India.

There is a common saying that Charity begins at home. Keeping that in mind, we can start our cleanliness drive from our home itself. Just spend one hour a day in 24 hours to make your home clean. You can do it while watching NDTV or in your spare time. If all the family members join together & do it regularly, your home will be the cleanest soon. But you must use Dettol to keep the hygienic standards under control.

Once your home is clean, you can move to your locality. If all the families join together & do something to make the locality a hygienic one with no sanitation problems anywhere, with no garbage anywhere, your entire city will become the Cleanest and we will be moving towards a swachh India.

We can teach the students at schools & villages to wash the hands using Dettol as it’s the best hygienic agent, to maintain cleanliness. We can teach them to not to throw garbage on road sides. We can teach them to use Dustbins. We can teach them to not to defacate in the open.

We can teach them to plant a tree each to make even the air the swachh one so that we don’t get respiratory & other problems. We can teach them to not to throw pollutants in the rivers, to make them swachh & alive.

In case we can’t spare even an hour for this cleanliness drive, we can still join this movement. We can donate them whatever possible. This money can be utilized in making Toilets and providing it free of cost to our villages.

Reckitt Benckiser (RB) has made a commitment to invest a sum of Rs. 100 crores towards this initiative across the next 5 years. Just remember that, every rupee spent as well every minute given on this mega cause will be a gift to the humanity. Humanity   that wants a clean n hygienic India. You can know much more about the Cleanathon from their website : http://swachhindia.ndtv.com/. 

Remember the Cleanathon with Dettol & NDTV for a clean & swachh India. Remember that Sanitation and hygiene are the very basic requirements for any home & society. Therefore, please be ready to join the CLEANATHON on 14th December, 9am to 9pm on NDTV with Dettol for a live show alongwith Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Anand Mahindra, Shashi Tharoor and Anandiben Patel.

Say NO to Pre - Marital Sex !

We are proud Indians. We have certain self imposed regulations on our children. We don’t allow our children – boy or girl, to move out, alone, at late hours. We keep an eye that whom they are talking, meeting or chatting on any social network. This is because we care for our children. This is because we have utmost respect for our daughters. We treat them as goddess in our home. We try our best to give them a proper education & marry them at a suitable age with the best possible guy / gal.

We don’t have any space for sex in our society. It’s a taboo. It’s not even discussed in our homes. But the Internet has changed everything. Thousands & thousands of websites are selling porn. Our kids & teenagers are being spoiled. Internet is available on mobiles & smart phones. As a result they are free to watch porn, anywhere, anytime. The term GIGO is well applied i.e. Garbage in, Garbage out. When we click garbage on search engines, we will get garbage on our screens.

The outcome is the unwanted sex between teenagers. The outcome is the pre marital sex between teenagers. It’s just lust & nothing else. Out of anxiety they do all such things & spoil their lives. Many a time such MMS land on porn sites & many a time, girls have committed suicide. It has lead to unwanted MTP's in various road side clinics in a dangerous atmosphere. Many a time we found abandoned kids in the garbage bins.

This pre – marital sex or such affairs have many other complications too. A news story in Times of India revealed certain shocking facts. It said, In Gujrat, most dads failed paternity test. Labs find love cheat in 98% of cases. You can read the detailed shocking story from this LINK with thanks to TOI.

We just try to pretend that we have become liberal and bold. But that’s all false. No reality. We try to act as shown in various TV serials. But do you really think we have become liberal ? If yes, just read another news story from Times of India. It says, that a Bhabhi kissed her devar on his marriage and it resulted into a brawl with the family of the bride. The groom was held captive and later the groom went back without his bride. You can read the shocking news story from this LINK with thanks to TOI.

And still we say that we have become modern, we have become liberal. But can we throw our children in the hands of such perverts who are waiting for them on various social networking sites ? Who just want to lure the innocent teenagers for their own pleasure and for black mailing them, for making money.

The truth is that our elders who constituted such self imposed regulations, who made our constitution & fixed regulations for certain acts, were the most learned ones. They knew many such things in advance and made such regulations. We must be thankful for those custodians of our culture & society. Being Indians, being proud Indians, we must come forward to say a BIG NO to pre - marital sex.
