BEAR GRYLLS- a born survivor

Its not often that you see a sky-diver jump from the helicopter into nowhere.. and surrounds himself with all sorts of wild 'n' weird situations just for the sake of Adventure..
This man of 33 is a Guiness Book of World Records' record holder as the youngest Britisher to climb the mount Everest.. why only focus on The Everesr?? Check out the episodes of the Man Vs. Wild in the discovery channel..
I bet you wont even touch the remote even during the commercial breaks..
If you dont know him it would seem thay I am a bit over-exxagerating about this young lad.. but once you see a single episode on the discovery you'll say "ohh..what an adventurer"...

This man is not a famous figure in India but, he has aquired both name and fame to proclaim, "Yess , I am the best adventurer"..
Bear has been an author too.. a few of his books are international bestsellers..

A man stuck in the amazonian reinforest...
A man amidst the grumble of an erupting volcano..
A man on the snow clad peaks of the Himalayas..
A man rowing a raft from a mountain spring to the pacific..
A man he is the most adventurous..

I salute him and the world does it too...

SIMD- a way of life

Sometime around the beginning of 2009, outside the gates of an engineering college in Kolkata, a group of brothers was formed... neither the canteen or the common room, nor the fact that we paid over 20K each semester could keep us within the college premises...we found solace at a small tea shop neatly tucked in between the college and the VIP road...maybe, some things are best enjoyed free...at this place, Masi's tea shop, everyday is a holiday, where every morning starts with a smile, every afternoon is filled with laughter, and every evening ends with wishing each other goodbye...looking forward to the next time we meet again...hence from here, we have the name of this band of brothers as "Seasons In Masir Dokan"...
