The book, ‘7 Lessons from Everest’ by Founder Aditya Gupta aims at raising 1 Crore for Covid-19 relief

These are terrible times with the second wave of COVID-19 proving to be more virulent. India is already grappling with the issue of child labour and given the loss of livelihoods due to the outbreak of the pandemic, their number will rapidly rise as more underprivileged children will be forced to work and support their families. In such situation, CRY an NGO is trying its best to keep such children healthy and safe. However, this is a massive task and to achieve this goal CRY needs support of individuals and institutions. The Rug Republic (TRR) came forward to do its bit. Owned by noted business leader and mountaineer Aditya Gupta, TRR has started an initiative where it will gift people the coffee table book penned by Aditya to the one donating Rs 4000 & above to CRY to extend support to the NGO to meet its requirements to ensure care, protection and education to children amidst these trying times.

At the age of 50, Aditya Gupta had reached the summit on 22nd May 2019. He wanted to share what he learnt and found his answer in the book titled, ‘7 Lessons from Everest – Expedition Learnings from Life and Business’. He spent several months conceptualizing and writing the book that shares the virtues of preparation, passion, perseverance, mental toughness, and resilience. The coffee table book is a photo essay that also narrates the experiences of the IIT alumnus as an explorer, adventurer, and photographer.

With 350 stunning images spread over 250 pages, the book makes for a captivating read. But more than just the good time it promises to offer to the reader, the book is also encouraging people to contribute to a worthy cause and a burning need of the hour. Every time someone donates Rs. 4000 or more to CRY, The Rug Republic will send the person the coffee table book as a gesture of appreciation. The corporate donors who will order in bulk will get the books at a lesser amount instead of a pro-rata basis. The bulk order will help firms make a significant contribution to CRY as their CSR activity and they will also get plenty of books that they can give their associates and clients as an uplifting present in these times.

The book aims to raise one crore rupees (approx $150K) for Covid-19 relief through CRY. Every purchase made of ‘7 Lessons from Everest’ directly gets donated to CRY for providing much-needed care and protection for children against the deadly second wave of Covid-19. Donors can directly transfer the money to CRY using the links available on 7lessonsfromeverest.com.

Talking about the initiative, Aditya Gupta, said, “At TRR, we always strive to do what we can to help others. This campaign combines two joys – one of giving and the other of learning through the master tutor like Mt. Everest itself. Climbing Everest is a transformational experience- not only for those who climb but also for those who can share the journey vicariously. Those who come forward to contribute to help the underprivileged children will take home not just their good wishes, but also a world-class coffee table book that can inspire them to overcome life’s various challenges. We want to spread the word so that more people can join us to help CRY.”

Acknowledging the initiative being taken by The Rug Republic, Regional Director of CRY, Soha Moitra said “Pandemic has hit each one of us in many ways but what raises CRY’s concern is its profound effect on the wellbeing of children across all ages and socio-economic backgrounds. For children coming from underserved communities the impact of this pandemic will be lifelong. Amidst, these unprecedented times such noble initiative by The Rug Republic is crucial and indeed timelys. The support extended by TRR will benefit many children of our project areas to ensure better health, education and protection to the children. We believe this gesture of TRR will inspire many to contribute in bringing positive changes in the lives of our children in these trying times”.

Aditya has been delivering talks at various institutes discussing his experiences and the seven lessons he wants to share with the world. The lessons that Everest teaches us are not just relevant in our daily lives but also the current health crisis. People across age groups have found the book to be quite inspiring, thrilling, and invigorating. Now they have all the more reasons to donate to help the nation in our war against Covid-19.

It was all about technology. At such a young age he was able to explain every technical detail to the viewers. However, as a schoolboy, he had responsibilities towards his regular studies and had to take a break. This passion brought him back to the technical world within a span of just 2 years. In 2018, he started TechyFrank. Initially, TechyFrank was about creative art and leaks about un launched gadgets. A leakster is always prone to pressure by the makers. So was Shubham Bishnoi who was depressed when various brands pressurized him to back off from leaking the details of their product and so he had to take down many posts on social media handles. The depression however made him strong and the break was much needed for this young tech enthusiast.

After such an episode of taking down posts, a friend introduced him to Bitcoin.

When he had gained good profits in a short term initially, he has continued the journey and is still on it. The cryptocurrency which is also a new thing in the global market is just one part of his findings.  However, the focus is mainly on technology. Name a reputed brand of smartphone which is expected in the market newly and Shubham has a detailed video on his social media handles. He caters to giving information that is unseen and not available anywhere on the internet. That is how capable he is of research on technology. Also, he has the ability to explain any complicated technology in a manner that can be understood by a small kid.

A product or a gadget becomes attractive not just by how it looks or by its specifications. A buyer is better impressed by what goes into the making of one such gadget. Shubham Bishnoi strongly believes in this and hence puts all the effort to bring out minute details about every gadget that he talks about in his videos. A video is more attractive than a write-up or a blog through both equally cater to attracting a buyer. His videos are simple and easy to understand. Overall TechFranky makes buying gadgets easier!

He further says as “Most of the auditions happening for the selection of local artists are based upon the demand of the character portrayed by the writer in the script. The selected artist has to be as similar with the written character.”

Mohd Saif tries to find the best out of the best as he believes that an artist is known by the efficiency of the character adopted by the artist. An artist is known when he completely forgets about himself and takes the character as he owns it.

Mohd Saif shares his beginning as he started his career in modeling thereafter he did his first film ‘Shudra: The rising’, which turned the table for him. He didn’t look back after that and continued doing many successful films like bullet raja.

Here, PR stands for “permanent resident”. Put simply, a resident that lives permanently in a country, but is not a citizen.

When an immigrant decides to settle in Australia, living and working in the Land Down Under on a permanent basis, they take up permanent residence in the country.

An individual can become a permanent resident of Australia by applying for and being granted a permanent visa for Australia, allowing them to remain in Australia indefinitely. The most common Australian permanent visas that lead to Australia PR include some family immigration and general skilled migration visas. 

While enjoying several benefits in the capacity of a PR, a permanent resident is not a citizen. A PR in a country will always be the citizen of another country. Generally, a PR holder can eventually transition onto the citizenship of the country that they have been living in. 

In terms of Australia immigration, there are many and divergent routes that lead to Australia PR. Anyone looking at taking up permanent residency in Australia can explore 40+ different Australian migrant visas available that allow a migrant to come to live in Australia permanently. 

As per the Department of Home Affairs of the Australian government, the precise definition of permanent resident varies for visa or citizenship purposes. 

For the purposes of an Australian visa, an Australian citizen is “a non-citizen who holds an Australian permanent visa, or is usually resident in Australia and holds a permanent visa”.

While temporary visa holders in Australia also enjoy various benefits and opportunities, there are comparatively fewer restrictions placed on an Australian PR in terms of their ability of living, working, and studying in Australia. 

Nevertheless, a permanent resident of Australia does not have an automatic right of entry into Australia. To be able to return to Australia as a permanent resident, the individual must possess a permanent visa for Australia along with the valid travel authority for entering the country.

So, what actually are the benefits of taking up permanent residence in Australia?

As a permanent resident of Australia, an individual can remain in Australia indefinitely, working and studying anywhere within the country. An Australian PR holder might be able to sponsor their eligible relatives for permanent residence in Australia. 

An Australian PR also entitles an individual to enrol in Medicare, the universal health insurance scheme of Australia. Medicare guarantees all Australians – permanent residents and citizens – access to various health and hospital services in Australia at either no cost or a low cost. 

An Australian PR can eventually apply for the citizenship of Australia after they have lived in Australia for a span of 4 years as a permanent resident. This is referred to as “citizenship by conferral”. Children under the age of 16 years, while not required to meet the general residence requirements, must be permanent residents of Australia. 

Another benefit of taking up Australian permanent residence is that it allows the individual to work anywhere in New Zealand. 

Introduced in 1973, the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement [TTTA] allows New Zealand and Australia permanent residents and citizens to enter each other’s country for the purposes of working, living and working indefinitely, without there being any requirement for applying for prior authority. 

An Australian PR visa also qualifies the visa holder for other government benefits and services. Nevertheless, an individual that is holding a permanent visa for Australia but is not residing within Australia can have their eligibility for government benefits impacted. 

While a permanent resident of Australia enjoys various benefits, PR and citizenship are not the same and must not be confused with each other. While a PR is not citizenship, it does lead to citizenship down the line.

Yash Agarwal has become the only digital marketer in Kanpur verified (Blue Tick) by Facebook, marking yet another milestone in his career. This has been made possible by the hard work and dedication of every section he has worked in. Understand that getting Facebook verification is not an easy task; you must work hard and tirelessly to achieve this, particularly in a city like Kanpur, where everyone aspires to be an influencer. However, this is a lengthy process in which Facebook discusses several statistics as well as how the Facebook account is used and what benefits society derives from it, as well as how it communicates its message to the public. People’s inspirations are produced in a variety of ways.

Yash Agarwal, who not only achieved the pinnacle of excellence but also achieved even on behalf of Facebook, has done something similar.

Yash Agarwal says as a Digital Marketer & entrepreneur, “I’ve always found the digital industry to be intimidating. I was able to not only survive but also accomplish a great deal in the form of incredible feats, thanks to my constant struggle and passion. The first thing I trained influencers and the rest of the incredible people who work in this industry all over the world.” “Remember that there is a fantastic world out there that hasn’t been fully explored, and that seems like you and needed to help launch it into the galaxy of “what’s new and happening.” Keep your focus and imagine what you want in it, then put it into practice. As far as I’m concerned, this is one area where experimenting and exploring isn’t a big deal.”

It was this time in the last year when I heard hideous tales from people, the plot of the whole story being Coronavirus. It was this time, in the last year, when my heart often melted with tears dwindling down the cheeks as I witnessed the world rolling amidst obstreperous incidents and wild frantic chaos. It was during this time, last year when I had written an article called “This phase shall pass soon” published in a book named “ CONJURING CHAOS”.

Here I come again, with a heavy heart, with my fingers moving desperately over the laptop’s keypad, with my brain trying to scrutinize many ineffable emotions, condensing them into a few words.

Dear readers, I’m penning the personal experience of my uncle who was tested Covid positive. ALERT! Let your heart flow with my words seamlessly for a while, let your brain freeze for a few minutes, because I’m trying to make it worthy, useful, and inspiring too!

My uncle, a person very dear to me, my guide in all phases that have passed and that are yet to come, and a person with a pure soul and a spiritually motivating aura.

AHH yes! He, my aunt, and my sweet little sister ( who isn’t little, but will remain to me) were tested positive few days ago and that was the beginning of the serendipity of many confusing events. The start wasn’t scary and horrifying. But probably fate wanted to teach us some indelible lessons and unassailable morals, so it decided to proceed with its plans. Soon my uncle’s condition demanded the need of hospitals and yes, the need of the most vital and the very essence of human existence- Oxygen! But India was and is still in the pity of the whole world, facing shortages of beds, oxygen cylinders. But the same India also has people who have brotherhood imbibed in them and the culture of togetherness( started even before the British era) embedded in their roots. We are blessed with such people, and our relatives somehow managed to arrange the bed in the hospital. And then, what began was the ocean of sinusoidal waves! Soon they had a CT scan was done which revealed unsatisfactory results. It read, 75% pneumonia and lung fibrosis that came as FREE OFFERS from Post covid complications. He was on continuous oxygen supply and same days his oxygen levels would fall dreadfully.

This is one side of the story. One among the other tricks played by the witchcraft of Covid was making us feel helplessly inhumane. While my aunt was away taking care of my uncle, my sister was all alone at home. Neither could I caress her in my arms nor could I even meet her amidst her days of struggles. Though the sky was inhabited with dark clouds, there was one star that twinkled with hope. It twinkled with the news that my grandmother was tested negative. We, as per the directions, had to isolate her. This was also stressful as she was old, to be confidently left alone.

Coming back to the first side, my uncle was still struggling, gasping for oxygen sometimes and often falling prey to pessimism. As I mentioned earlier, we had some beautiful people who kept his taste intact with homemade food. The doctor would go on rounds and sometimes give dispiriting replies. And any ring of the phone at home would make us frightened. Aunt too was all alone, in these messes. She was too courageous and strong enough to handle the waves.

There’s an unseen part of the story which was the condition of all the people who loved my uncle! Beginning with my mother- the sister’s heart often went out to her brother’s while her trembling hands folded in unquestionable faith and devotion. My grandmother- the same mother who would run to her son when he caught a simple cold, was now helplessly away, just chanting prayers. My sister- a daughter’s emotions of not being around her dad for many days.

So all in all, Covid had managed to torture us in terms of health, emotions, and mental strength! But we believed the idiom “ Good things come to those who wait” in this perfect storm! And we waited, waited with patience, faith, optimism, hope.

Things began to improve. Uncle seemed to be responding well! But now, he needed the comfort of the home. That was his adamant demand! After all these struggles, it felt that the hidden warrior in my uncle was basking in the glory of victory. The struggle is still on. His recovering phase has just begun and he will soon bounce back with good health!

Why did I write this? Just to condense the events that almost turned everything upside down!. Just to inspire a few ones who are losing hope.

Have the mettle in your faith. Let there be valor in our optimism. Let us spend our time with the ones we love! Let us be crazily cautious but not scared. Know that we belong to the nation that stood against all odds. We belong to a world that is god’s creation and hence we are also his creations. Let’s believe that times change, and this too will!

THANK YOU readers for swinging with me for this while, and feeling my words!
