Oslo- The city of calm

It was first of all great for the whole team through two changed flights to arrive in the early afternoon of 31st of January ahead of the quiz tournament that will take place from 2nd to 5th Feb, 2019. Oslo is the great city to watch for, has some great warcraft and cultural history, and the spearhead in essence of Scandenavia it attracts you with all it's deep natural and cultural essence. Thus when we as team reached the city via air, we were greatly welcomed and the organising team for our cuntry by the Norwegian blind Committee came to the airport and received us well. From there on we were taken through their own lemousine and we were asked to have a quick brunch before seating ourselves in the vehicle to travel to the place where the tournament shall proceed. Generally as a captain it is my duty to introduce the other members of the team and it's coach sir duty to introduce our team which we did at first while all things were in arrangement for the short brunch in process that included coffee, cup cakes and vegetarian burger. Once that was done and we had our tastes, we settled in the back seats of the Lemousine and were taken to 1 hour great ride to reach the place that is on centre stage of the attention in February 2019. We were getting closer to the cuntry side as Oslo is also a municipality and as we crossed we got to catch some local Scandenavian music and shrill calls of the nature through our ears which was great to ears and we fell great comfort while seated with great relief with our jackets and gloves on. We were told of the heating arrangements by the organisers from the front seats and our smiles increased feeling happy to be part of such great functioning with equal organiser's support. Finally after 1 hour there we were and it was now going to be a great experience next few days at the place to be found on and make the mark for the country. though before all that is going to come through, We have planned as team to visit some local hot spots on 1st of February which we informed to the arranging team of transport and they waved their hands gesturing that they should ready and pleased to accompany as service. Finally the rooms were shown to the team- with the couple in 1 room, other 3 boys in another one, 1 for the coach with management staff and one ofcourse as captain quarters for myself. We changed into our local dresses, thanked the organisers for the services and opened the hot blowing system for heat comfort sitting and planning for the next day forward. Once that was done i was told by the managing staff that some old experts who know me through Ebook Norway want to greet me personally and thus leaving my team to enjoy I stepped out in the late afternoon sun and went towards them feeling at home at large. What I am sure as captain that this place may not be familiar but it will give equal comfort to all those who have come here to play and show their skills as visually impaired fellow and thinking that I turned away meeting more Captains from the teams who have already come from the respective countries and stopping only to inform where I was going so early. I headed to the offices of my Ebook portals where they know me well, Thus I shook hands with them, told them of my major purposes and with their assured wishes came out spending more time with country captains who knew me best talking and chattering about better performances in this tournament. As evening came through I had come back to my team quarters, told them all what has been accomplished and also fiercely asked them to be prepared for the countries they know like me. Thus Oslow is a city of calm and while having my evening vegetarian meals I finally started to feel that there is certainly going to be a great experience in this beautiful place by all means and I thanked the lord turning to my room and giving word to the team for the next day trip in virtual spirits and with smiles all around it was the day called at last...

Raise voices for Nainital's environment

In recent times the city has lost it's environmental strength, seasons are not going as they had been, and there is no routine to the valour this city once had in it's virtual approach as well as cultural stature through such strong environment. Thus it is on the verge that Nainital has been witnessing change of environment that requires attention, not only by those who work for it's safety but also by those who can contribute in social sense that can help it's environment become more stronger coming back to it's ultimate purity. Therefore experts not only but all have to come in front to save it in it's ultimate face so assurance for natural essence of Nainital can continue in it's virtual position as well as prominence for longer time. The trouble is that those who want it to be saved are themselves behind this reality where they still not realise that they have damage their natural environment by enhancing their own economic and social positions. If voices can be raised, people can commit, and things can be established on stronghold it will come to strong stand by which a prominent step can be taken that can be healthy both for citizens as well as natural strength of the city through which The environment can be saved. And it can only be done through protecting trees and not only saving them from being cut but also growing more of them which will state the future of this city in it's natural fate if right commitments are managed to grow more trees as well as save them from cutting out in large numbers...

Save trees for beauty of Nainital

Many tourists who come to this city admire the beauty it possess and yet when they return they are known to destroy the environment culture this place has. Though they are not the only one and there are certain groups behind the scene living in the city itself that are wounding it's own premises and making the city wreck by their lack of environmental contribution yet they are not clear in approach and not recognise what they have done. This they do by cutting trees for their economic purposes and not the means to survival that is critical for beauty of this city. However, Those who earn great monetary means, heavy trafic and popularity, as well as their cultural dignity do not remember the reason for which people come to Nainital and have great cultural joy which they are destroying by their own hands. They must stand to protect the trees otherwise it is no dout that the city will not only loose it's heritage but also struggle to exist if it is crumpled with trees cut into such heavy numbers. Hence stand tall, come with cause to save trees and if you all are able to make it possible then we can still conserve the beauty of our city...

Cultural slashes give bigger wounds

Such hills always hide their tendencies to use nature and make it a proficient measurement whenever they wish to have financial and monetary benefits. They are also experts in misuse of trees by cutting them for such religious or cultural purpose and hardly any voice against them, either social or cultural in community is applied, by their known ones. This is the tradition which is not required and yet it comes to their hand where they like to do so and nobody is there to stop them committing in such deeds though morally they are never correct as well as violate the natural law. The reality behind such business or tendency is that cultural slashes give bigger wounds to nature and hurt the existence of environment that deteriates due to such commitments of cutting the natural lives or destroying them for their own cause of existence. Yet the threat that is behind the frozen scheme is that till the mountain come down and smash back, hardly any commitment comes by as it does hinge human life due to which citizens awake or without it coming problems are not considered when they are natural in context. Ultimately people don't understand, how vital this environmental factor is for the society, and once that happpen through they again start to cut more trees in name of sacrifice to the environment which has no sense at all. And ultimately in such ways they continue to wound the natural heritage of hills in the glorius city like Nainital that wants to be sorted out by which the city can still exist and could have longer conservation stature...

Two minded approach is not healthy

In certain places authorities are appointed who look toward the forests as their own connected imprints and to make sure that they are conserved rightly. Hence these forest guards are expected to cooperate in their safety so they can contribute for more in it's conservation while trying to save them from those who misuse forests for economic and political purposes. Such type of approach is right in it's virtual goal but there are certain lapse it has by which 2 measures of thinking has gained prominence that effects the naturall status of certain hilly cities. Though there is a certain two minded approach that has gathered pace in the hill stations like Nainital where these forest guards promise to come to affect and also cut trees in heavy numbers. This they virtually contribute for their own purpose specially in winter's context to become wealthy and have more financial gains as in such weather cut trees are vitally brought into use for fires that is utilised in various ways. Thence such situation of the aproach they are known for is not healthy for the environment of the city and it's regional natural prospects. By such mechanism it is certainly damaging it's environmental prosperity in all ways that needs to be brought into light and assure the city's virtual environment so it's future can be restored to safety...
