Much of the information about the Himachal pardesh is given in the epics like Mahabharat and Ramayan and other scriptures like Vedas and puranas. Chamba (District in the state of Himachal Pradesh) Located across the border of Jammu and Kashmir and towards the west of Ladakh turns out to be the only district in the northen India  to prevent well documented history from CIRCA 500 AD. Its high mountain Ranges has given it the sheltered position and helped in preserving its century old relics and numerous inscriptions.
Chamba is famous for its vivid culture and festivals. Local festival celebrated here is the ‘Minjar festival’ .This festival is the form of showing their happiness after a hard toil of harvesting the Maize crop which is the major crop grown in the region.

Chamba Rumal

MARCO is regarded as one of the toughest WAR courses in the world. Getting selected in the MARCO-Training  is itself a difficult task. MARCOS are the handful of the special forces from around the world that are capable of being Para dropped into the sea with the combat load. Marine commandos are the tough nut to crack, These have the capability to top the US Navy SEAL course with ease which is considered as the toughest unbeatable force in the world because they are primarily trained along the pattern of US Navy SEAL.The best part about their training  regime is the high motivation and emotional balance which they build .

Look what success has to tell you!!!

 



He(Random person) created Several routes,
In the process of his indecisiveness,
This made all the scatterd thoughts seem clean,
Despite of all his mess.

The path he chose to run on,
May not seem right at this time..
But, wherever this route goes..
He will still dance to the tune of his dreams and take life as his Rhyme....

He dare to choose a destination, despite whatever his destiny could be,
There will also be a time with no indecisiveness....
Where, he is nothing else but 'ME'
