Webbing the dreams of many and making India proud

“I am ecstatic to win a gold medal for my country in the World Archery Para Series. I won this medal for India due to the hard work of my coach and myself,” said Payal after her remarkable achievement on the international stage. Kuldeep, who lost his mother at the tender age of five, rose above personal tragedy to become a distinguished para-archery coach. Today, he is a guiding force for countless athletes, especially those battling financial hardship or physical disabilities, helping them rediscover hope and purpose through sport. Born in the remote village of Dhanaura Tikri in Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat district, Kuldeep’s early life was marked by struggle. A major turning point came when he joined the Indian Army, where he was introduced to archery under the mentorship of Colonel Mohan.  While pursuing his own journey in the sport, Kuldeep discovered a deeper calling to identify and nurture hidden talent from the grassroots.

Trees don’t grow from soil, they’re mostly made from air

A profound shift in botanical research reveals that the massive physical structures of our forests are not ‘built’ from the ground up as previously believed. The physical structure of trees is still stable and has its foundational base in the earth; however, research done by NASA shows there is 95 per cent to 98 per cent of total dry weight of trees made from carbon & oxygen directly from the atmosphere, allowing us to further confirm how through the process of photosynthesis trees are acting as complex filters of the atmosphere to create solid polymeric structures (like wood) by reconfiguring carbon dioxide gas into these rigid solid structures/materials. Based on this biological process, it would appear that trees are really nothing more than ‘solidified air’, and that, while some minerals are needed for a limited number of minerals, their significant structural development is from atmospheric sources rather than underground sources. Discovery finds that trees actuall...

Not our usages increasing, our wastages are increasing - International Zero Waste Day

Earth is devastating because of depletion of natural resources. Nature has enough to complete entire generation needs but scares to meet human greed.  Waste nowadays is the new devil that has surrounded Earth in very remorseful manner. Humans have forgotten that we don't have planet B. Instead of rejuvenating our natural resources, heaps of wastages are replacing the hills and garbage to the mountains.  Not much but at least small efforts from each of us is significant to control wastes.  Zero Waste Starts on Your Plate For this year’s International Day of Zero Waste, the focus is on food – what we eat, what we waste, and how we can move towards a more circular future. The world wastes food on a staggering scale. Every year we throw away about 1 billion tonnes of edible food, nearly one-fifth of all food available to consumers. This impacts both people and the environment. Around 60 per cent of food waste happens at the household level. The rest comes mostly from food ser...

New year begins according to the Vikram Samvat calendar, it reminds us that time itself is sacred

New year for us means  January 1st  according to the Gregorian calendar. Whereas, in the ancient Hindu tradition, the beginning of the year is marked by  Hindu Nav Varsh , the start of the  Vikram Samvat calendar . This day falls on  Chaitra Shukla Pratipada , the first day of the bright lunar fortnight in the month of Chaitra. Hindu Nav Varsh is not just a cultural celebration; it represents a  deeply scientific and spiritual understanding of time . The Hindu calendar, developed thousands of years ago by Indian astronomers and sages, is based on a  lunisolar system  that aligns human life with the rhythms of nature, the movement of celestial bodies, and seasonal changes. Across India, this day is celebrated in different forms such as  Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Ugadi in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, Cheti Chand by the Sindhi community, and Navreh in Kashmir . Although the names and customs vary, the meaning remains the same:  the beginn...

She dare to dream, She ignored all the scream,, She sore into space bravely, She did that think many barely,, In a world of digital noise, She ruled over her own choice,, Often think of perseverance as a grand, heroic act, It’s just the discipline to stay focused and negatives to neglect,, Kalpana Chawla, synonym to determination and velocity, Kalpana’s life reminds us that specialisation is secondary to curiosity,, Kalpana quoted courage isn't the absence of fear, It's the decision that drives the efforts with gear,, "The path from dreams to success does exist. May you have the vision to find it, the courage to get on to it, and the perseverance to follow it.” — Kalpana Chawla
