Dear
Editor
It was a pleasure to go
through the website on Himachal
my home state. The fact
that the organisation is
working for the development
of the state is even more
inspiring. It would be a
pleasure to know about the
projects undertaken by the
organisation. This will
help us Himachalis stationed
outside the state to make
a contribution through our
skill and knowhow.Do please
email a brochure.

A well made site. Regarding
the wall papers i can say
that we should create wallpapers
that reflects the true picture
of Himachal Pradesh. By
clicking the famous pic
of shimla, kullu or manali.
All over a great site and
has a lot of room for further
improvement.

Is Bhakra Bam in Himachal
Pradesh or in Punjab? Respected
Sir In a quiz competition
a question was asked Where
is the Bhakra Nangal dam
located?I answered that
this dam is located in Himachal
pradesh which was declared
wrong.I argued that the
prestigious dam was in Himachal
and that Nanagal was in
Punjab and that a small
dam in Nangal utilises water
from the Bhakra dam for
power generation.Books were
consulted and so were geograpy
teachers from nearby schools
and unfortunately all said
that the Bhakra Nangal dam
is in Punjab.I would request
you to please advise the
concerned department to
inform me for a the exact
location of the dam and
why it is called Bhakra
Nangal daminstead of Bhakra
dam.I feel that your government
needs to conduct a drive
to inform people that the
prestegious Bhakra dam is
in Himachal and not in Punjab.
Sir, I am very sorry to
bother you with such trifle
questions but I feel that
students as well as teachers
all over the country should
be aware of the facts.

BHAKRA DAM: Situated at
Bhakra village of Bilaspur
(Himachal Pradesh), about
13 km upstream from Nangal
township, it is one of the
highest straight gravity
dams in the world. The lake
is about 90 km long covering
an area of about 168 sq
km of which 90 percent is
in Bilaspur (Himachal Pradesh)
and 10 percent in Una district
(Himachal Pradesh). The
dam was dedicated to nation
by late Pt. Jwahar Lal Nehru
on November 20th, 1963.
The view of vast dam and
green jungles around is
fascinating indeed.

Dear
Friends
There
an interesting website
which i found out on
the net today. It has
some interesting writeup
from Himachal. Also
the design in good.
Please go and check
it out. http://www.himvikas.org
It
is run by an NGO called
Academy of Hill Development
Sciences. They seem
have a similar objective
such as ours . So i
thought it would be
of interest to some
members to collaborate
with them as well ,
as they seem to be active
in HP.
Cheers.

My
Dear Rohit Ji,
I am thrilled and excited
to receive your e-mail.
You have given me infinite
honor. I look forward to
meeting with you. I will
enjoy discussing niti shastra
with you. I will also discuss
the concept of universe
as given in our Indian philosophy
and how it differs from
the recent theories.

Just
came across your wonderful
website; great work. I am
writing to you from an Palampur
NGO called RTDC whose work
focuses on Natural Resource
based enterprises and democratic
decentralisation of governance.
This is for your information
that a workshop on ecotourism
is to be held at Corbett
National Park from the 9th
of Jan till the 12th(see
attachment). This workshop
may give us useful insights
into this 'sunrise sector'
and a chance to interact
with the policy makers and
practitioners at the same
time.

could post a link to our
Navrachna website (www.navrachna.org).
We at Navrachna are very
happy to hear about himvikas.org.
Congratulations on your
fine initiative. We look

Heal
the world...Excellent article.
I totally agree with the
author that these children
need love and affection
and not our alms and pity.
It is nice to know what
people like usha ram are
working for the betterment
of these children. Do pass
on our families best wishes
to her. We would like to
help out. Please let us
know how we can.

Hello,
Just
visited your web site and
read about snoring. Very
informative. The page is
describing the use of nasal
strips. Could you please
let me know the brand name
of the nasal strips and
where I could get the same
in India. By the way I am
from Kerala (Cochin).
Thanks

Congrats.
Was searching the net for
sites that are concerned
with THE environment and
saw yours. Not bad. Though
takes a long time to load.
Here are some bytes for
biting...
" when the last tree
has been cut down
when the last crop has been
harvested
and when the last animal
has been hunted
then and only then will
man realize that he cannot
eat money."
Doesnt
it feel good to know that
you are being ruled by a
peice of paper with blue
ink and false promises to
pay... on it??

Indian
media needs to wake up.
Its Sad...
I'm not really a good writer
so, not all of the following
might make sense. I first
came to this conclusion
just few days ago when I
was watching the news and
noticed that September 11th
wasn't mentioned once. Nor
is Afganistan or the terrible
war in Iraq. This got me
thinking and realized that
nobody is talking about
this anymore just because
the media has lost interest.
Now suddenly the latest
MMS cellphone scandal
comes up and PHEW the media
wakes up. Its pathetic.
The policy should have been
'no comment'. All this is
media hype, what else? The
media is not bothered about
the victims, their families....the
impact of the SCANDAL BREAK
on the poor girl involved...this
is not a way to sell news?
What happened in Delhi Public
School, should not have
got front page news features...please.
What is the excitement all
about anyways? We as parents,
first give our children
cellphones and latest gizmos,
then blame school authorities
and modernization...? Is
our media in such an all
time low that such incidents
deserve front page reporting?
Is the PRESS giving news
or creating news hype? Its
sad....

Thought
i'd use your feedback form
and contribute some abstract
ramblings of mine. Stress
and drugs are killing our
world. The mind is man's
last conquered frontier.
It is fast, fickle and uncontrollable.
STRESS is the price we are
paying for failing to learn
about the MIND before embarking
on the race for the new
millenium. Big emotions,
lust, anger, obsession,
greed and jealousy flood
our body with the toxic
chemicals of stress. Drugs
are freely available and
spoiling this generation.
No solace at home either...In
the age of 24hr access,
where the mobile phone is
as intimate as the heartbeat
and the computer your best
friend... stress is the
killer : Burnout, chronic
disabling, illness, crippling
tensions in family life,
and lack of fulfillment.
Is it too late already?
Ah well...
