A Tour to to Scotland Of The East


 


Every year, we think of visiting a hilly region because in summer and monsoons there is always a weather problem. Last autumn, after our mid term and before the last term school decided to send the 10th students on a training tour.

When we heard rumours about the trip so we requested the principal to confirm the tour.
And finally he gave the selection order signing that only top 15 Cadets of every section will move. Though my many friends were not in the list, but I was happy that somehow I come in the top 15 of my section. I talked to parents and started packing for it.
Two days later at morning 5 AM, the school bus horned and we came out with our luggage for 7 days. We reached Shillong at evening. We entered the Gorkha Regiment Centre of the Indian Army, we were given good quality room and food. Two soldiers and two officers were on our duty. Next morning we visited the local sides and then took rest.
Third day we drove to upper Shillong, clean and green cantonment area. The Elephant Falls was very very peaceful and remarkable. We all went down to get close to the falling stream of water making a pool below. Then It took us half an hour through deep and dark road to reach this view point. We climbed a flight of stairs to have a view of a wooded valley, cloud and mist, making sure to lift the draping of fog every now and then to let us see heavenly scenes. Shillong was filled up with Pine, Oak, orchid and rocks. It was an incredible experience. I wish I could stand there for ages to witness the colour of nature’s wonder.
The DBM or The Don Bosco Museum showcases the history and culture of the seven sisters of the North-east. The displays photographs and reflect the evolution of early man to the present time. The exhibits show the everyday life of the tribal groups of the seven states. There is a brilliant video show with music putting across the salient features of the region. DB is very clean and well-maintained.

As a NCC cadet of Sainik School we got the privilege to visit the most secret and annoying & interesting Radar House which is the only single Radar in the NER of Air Force that covers our border till China. We were welcomed by Fly. Lt. Taniya Brist madam. They provided us one of the best quality High Tea Party and we left for Shillong View Point inside the campus.
Just after leaving that place, we got a information that the Commander of Eastern Air Command is expecting us to visit them for one more High Tea Party with him. And we never wanted to miss such a aswome chance.
We enjoyed such that we didn't know when 7 days finished. We sang regimental song with the Gorkhas, then went for field training with Assam Rifles and again we also visited the great shooting range restricted area. 

It was really a first, great and memorable tour I ever went with my friends. This will always remain as one of the best motivational tours in life. Thank you.

  “I’m Xavier from your own planet, Earth. I do work in a gas station & I also don’t know where it is located but surely on Earth. And sadly I’m a married man." In this materialistic world we hardly get time to crack jokes and laugh. Most of the time we are busy in social network and we learned to laugh in the posts called memes.  We think it is very easy to make someone's meme or to create funny post but when we try to create by our own, we see that only 30% of our friend followers list likes our meme or joke. Most of the time we take funny pictures of our friends and upload it with few tag lines and we feel much like joke or meme. Yes it is meme but it may hurt someone and his reputation, respect etc. Again sometimes we write funny about some topics though neutrally but again it may hurt that particular thing our that community. Actually that is not a joke or meme which hurts someone's or something heart.  A meme should be such that which is true, acceptable and mak...

Hours Are Long But Second Moves Faster

  Time, bullet and spoken word can never be taken back. Once it is passed it will always leave an impact. Using time judiciously is one of the greatest qualities someone can inculcate within.  In our daily life, we have got only twenty four hours in a day. Therefore we cannot do everything in just one day. In order to manage work, social life and sleep, division of time is important. In a particular way division of time is the need. This will help the person to complete all his tasks. You should write your tasks in a schedule. Planning has to be in a way that each task gets enough time. Your hobby should have the highest priority. The second priority should studies. And the last but not the least your social life. Your social life includes family and friends. In order to live a happy and peaceful life socializing is important. Too much workload can make a person ill. So, give your mind a little rest. Spending time with family can help you with this.

A Drop of Rain

  Many things can change a person's life. An accident, beautiful places, loved persons and for me even a drop of rain water. I believe, every drop of water that falls on ground saves life maybe of a tree, a cute animal or hopes of many lives. People say when God cries then only it rains. And I believe when we are sad then its a way to get back our forgotten smile.  I often love to dance, travel and sing in rain. It is one of the most beautiful moments of can ever enjoy. It cannot be compared with any other feelings. Its just an another emotion someone can connect himself with the nature. Rain means hope and hope means everything. Rain drops are like Pearl when it remains on top a grass or at the end of a leaf. I always want to know why it rains ? Yes its rains because we need rain or water. But without asking almighty for it or without any action how nature knows that we need rain. I always wonder. I sometimes imagine at night under the sky, what if all the rain drops keep han...
