This is the inspiring true story of an incredible human named Dashrash Manjh.
Armed with only a hammer, chisel, and crowbar he began carving what ended up being a 30-foot wide, 25-foot-deep passage through 360 feet of the mountain.
Tirelessly Dashrash kept working for 22 years. His true story of determination and hard work is truly a reminder for all of us humans young and old to persevere!
“God has given each individual the strength to make a dent in the universe!”
– Dashrath Manjila

Dashrath Manji was a poor laborer from a small town called Gaya, in Eastern India who lived at the foothills of Gehlour hills. Because of this mountainous range, it was quite an isolated village. To reach the nearest town, one had to travel 70 km around the Gehlour Mountain.
One tragic life-changing day in 1960, Dashrath’s beloved wife Faguni Devi slipped and was injured while bringing him lunch to the farm where he worked. As there were no nearby hospitals she was not able to receive adequate medical treatment and soon died.
Dashrath was deeply hurt and saddened by his wife’s preventable death. He became determined no one else should suffer the same tragedy and resolved to build the road to make his village more accessible. He wanted his village could have easier access to medical attention at the town blocked by the mountain.
Initially, the heartbroken determined Dashrath was ridiculed by his villagers when he started hammering the hills with chisel, hammer, and shovel in his hand.. “When I started hammering the hill, people called me a lunatic but that steeled my resolve.” He would work all day at the farm and then head to the mountain to continue his mission. Slowly, people started to respect his ambition and started helping him by giving him food, water, and bought tools for him.
It took him an incredible 22 years of hard labor to carve the path into the mountain to carve the path into the mountain, changing the distance to the nearest town from 70km to 15 km! Dashrath’s dream of people to have access to doctors, jobs, education, and opportunities had come true. Since finishing the road no villager has lost their loved one due to lack of timely treatment, no children remain illiterate like Manjhi with an accessible road good school nearby.

It is interesting to think that even as children we are drawn to color, children often proudly declare and attach to a “favorite color” and it appears in their clothing, bedding, toys, knapsacks, and even toothbrushes.
As adults, many of us don’t pay attention to color as much as we used to. However, color can be associated with certain feelings and emotions.
Even when we are not consciously focusing on color, advertisers, brands, and companies are. They do use it to create trust, reach more customers, create cravings, and to sell products.
“Colour psychology is the study of hues as a determinant of human behavior. Colour influences perceptions that are not obvious, such as the taste of food. Colors can also enhance the effectiveness of placebos.”
In a study titled “Impact of color on marketing,” researchers found that up to 90% of snap judgments made about products can be based on color alone, depending on the product.
In another curious study titled “A rose by any other name…,” when subjects were asked to evaluate products with different color names, such as makeup, fancy names were preferred far more often.
For example, “mocha” was found to be significantly more likable than “brown,” despite the fact that the subjects were shown the same color. Further research found the same effect applied to a huge variety of products. Elaborately branded paint colors were rated “as more pleasing to the eye” than their simply named counterparts by consumers.
It has also been shown that more unusual and unique color names are preferable for everything from jelly beans to sweatshirts. For instance, crayon colors with names such as “razzmatazz” were more likely to be chosen than names such as “lemon yellow.”
Dr. Max Lûscher from Switzerland studied color psychology during the early 1900s. He devoted his life to the study of how color affects behavior and was hired by some of the world’s largest companies as a consultant.
Dr.Lûscher believed that sensory perception of color is objective and universally shared by all. Lüscher believed that because the color selections are guided unconsciously, they reveal the person as they are, not as they perceive themselves or would like to be perceived.
“Color preferences are subjective, and that this distinction allows subjective states to be objectively measured by using test colors”.
He created a simple test based upon fundamentals in color psychology. With years of research by color psychologists, the characteristics of certain colors have been identified to cause an emotional response in people. This was done by studying the response from hundreds of thousands of test subjects around the world to isolate how certain colors make us feel. By doing the reverse, using the colors people prefer to determine how people feel, we can get some interesting indicators about a person’s current emotional state.

Imagine soaring alongside migrating geese high in the sky in an ultralight plane or even a hot air balloon! Introducing former meteorologist, Christian Moullec who turned his dream guiding vulnerable birds on safe migration routes into reality!
“Today, weather permitting, he soars with birds on an almost daily basis,” National Geographic.
He credits Bill Lishman, who was the first person to conduct an aircraft-led migration of birds using an ultralight as his inspiration.
Moullec has been doing the same ever since he learned that lesser white-fronted geese were struggling with their migration from Germany to Sweden. In 1995, he took to the skies to help them
/https://www.thestar.com/content/dam/thestar/news/gta/2018/01/02/bill-lishman-who-taught-birds-to-fly-with-him-remembered-for-thinking-outside-the-box/nnawinning_pic.jpg)
“In 1995 I wanted to reintroduce lesser white-fronted geese into the wild in Lapland,”
Moullec tells National Geographic. And so he began raising orphaned ones and adapted a two-seater ultralight aircraft to guide them on safe migration.
He believes the use of chemicals in agriculture is the cause of the disappearing migratory birds in Europe and is using his photography to raise awareness.
Along with being a guardian angel to many of these migrating birds, Moullec also offers tourist ride-along to support his efforts and document his work as an aid to conservation.
“The most beautiful thing is to fly in the heavens with the angels that are the birds.”

Born Helen Potter on July 28th, 1866 this famous children’s author is better known by her middle name, Beatrix. The wonderful writer who brought the world the adventures of Peter Rabbit.
Growing up in a privileged household, Beatrix lived a solitary childhood and would instead spend her time with her myriad pets wandering the grounds of her holiday homes in the Lake District and in Scotland learning about and developing a love for the local flora and fauna there.
Opportunities for further education were very limited for women of the period, Beatrix was very fond of spending time in nature. Her study of fungi and her stunning watercolor depictions would lead her to become very well respected in the field of mycology.
She tasted success as an illustrator, selling some of her work to be used for greeting cards.
One of her most famous works, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”, started out as a story she wrote for the children of a former governess in a letter.
Encouraged by the children to continue the tale in her letters, potter later transformed this letter into a book, which she published privately in 1902, with Frederick Warne & Co, The publishing company was run by three brothers. One of those brothers was Norman Warne, whom she quickly fell in love with and became engaged too.
Her upper-class parents objected to their love but love prevailed until sadly, only weeks after proposing to Beatrix, he passed away died suddenly and unexpectedly of leukemia.
A devastated Beatrix poured her love of wildlife into practice after receiving a legacy from an aunt, which along with the proceeds of her books, allowed her to purchase a farm in order to preserve the landscape.
Upon her death, at the age of 77 all this land was bequeathed to The National Trust and now goes to make up a large part of The Lake District National Park.
With over 30 books to her name, Beatrix has become a timeless part of many people’s childhoods and her stories continue to sell well, being made into films, ballets, animations, and songs.
