Re: [Assam] Mountains of Miracles - lessons from adventure sports, environment

Idea was to help them develop team spirit and how to take on unknown ventures with limited resources. This program was developed (perhaps) using the idea from a local ritual - where a couple (which wanted to get married) was made to undergo a similar ordeal - to see if they could really cope well together under presssure of uncertainty and necessity in daily life. Indian youth are now taking up adventure sports in increasing numbers and thus developing risk taking abilities as well. These Harvard grads could learn such lessons too - though Mt Everest should be the easiest climb - if they do take the help of tour guides - who have even got blind men and 60 year old women teams on the summit - helping create the "Highest Garbage dump in the world " after they leave their camp materials there only after the climb.

Re: [Assam] Italian language news failed to escape ULFA scrutiny.
ULFA was always in the international eye - esp. after it was declared a terrorist organizatioon by US. It should now take steps to improve its image - Actions speak louder than words. Umesh Bartta BistarFri, 02 Dec 2005 04:23:32 -0800ULFA angry on Italian mediaGuwahati | December 02, 2005 2:42:57 PM ISThttp://news.webindia123.com/news/showdetails.asp?id=179262&cat=IndiaThe banned militant organisation United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is angry on Italian media. "It is an international conspiracy to malign us," said the ULFA mouthpiece 'Freedom' in its latest issue. The bone of contention is a media report on the Italian media over the ULFA peace process. "On November 29 last, the media of Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s fatherland Italy reported that three days after Indian army launched Operation Balawan, the ULFA agreed for the peace talk. This is rubbish," said the mouthpiece. According to the ULFA, it was an international conspiracy to derail the peace process at the nascent stage. "The main idea behind the news report is to defame the standing of the ULFA internationally and discourage the other organisation which are waging similar struggle for their own right," it said. However, this is for the first time they have reacted to international news reports.
