The Road Cleaning Drive Outside our Apartment Complex

Like the plastic ban which took place a month back, this month there was a road cleaning drive in our main road. Many residents along with their family and children took part in this drive. The apartment housekeeping staff also took part enthusiastically.

We used equipment like wheel barrows, shovels and spades. As there was a lot of dry mud along the road that had accumulated over the past several months, it took a lot effort to take it off the ground. All of us were working in groups - one would collect all the mud, the others would take it and put in the wheel barrow and a few would push the wheel barrow to the vacant land next to the apartment complex(all this mud would be taken away later).

While some of the residents were doing the cleaning and transporting of debris, the others supported them by supplying water and refreshments.

My group consisted of three members ( my brother, a friend of mine and me). I did the spade work, my brother and friend collected and dumped it in the wheel barrow and finally all of us pushed the wheel barrow as it was quiet heavy.

This drive by our society was a contribution to the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan initiated by our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. We had great fun taking part in this drive, I am now looking forward to the next one.

Below there is a picture of the clean road:

So it doesn't mean that you must need an Arduino licensed board. You can make a variety of circuits using Arduino. You can also program the Arduino to do certain things. I have the Arduino starter kit. It is available online on both Amazon and Flipkart.

Dangal- Movie Review

Off late, there have been many movies(in the bollywood film industry) which have been showcasing Sportspersons like Sultan, Mary Kom, MS Dhoni, Chak de etc. Dangal is also such a movie which shows the life of Mahavir Singh Phogat and his daughters-Geeta Phogat & Babita Phogat who were great wrestlers in the history of Indian Wrestling. The Story- Aamir Khan plays the lead role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, Fatima Shaikh as Geeta Kumari Phogat and Sanya Malhotra as Geeta Kumari Phogat.

Mahavir Singh (Aamir Khan) is disappointed at not having a son, so he decides to train his daughters to become wrestlers.

My New Passion: MUSIC

Of late I have been developing a lot of interest in Music. After a few jamming sessions in my Apartment Complex, I began to appreciate and enjoy a variety of genres in Music. Some of the artists I follow are the BERKLEE INDIAN ENSEMBLE(fusion music), Snarky Puppy(jazz), Ed Sheeran, Sia and The Chainsmokers. I am learning to play the Tabla & Keyboard and I also play a couple of other Percussion Instruments too. I also enjoy DJ ing on VirtualDJ. I have also been making a lot of Indian versions of English Songs like Something Just like This, Treat You Better and Shape of you on GarageBand. I have also joined my 8th Grade's School Band(which is called "Indie Panic"). In our band, We made an Indian Version of the song Let Me Love You by Justin Bieber. I have attached the file below. My dream is to go and study music in the Berklee College of Music in Boston and become a full time Musician and Sound Engineer.
