    Dev Sharma Aka Genius Apple shares his love for Books, squash, NCC, basketball on Passion talks

    He is a crazy & passionate  reader, Youtuber, National level squash Player, Basketball Capt of school team, NCC cadet, has interested in guitar, photography, film making & Coding.  **details   started with fairytales, fables, Enid Blyton, Geronimo Stilton, Famous Five, Secret Seven, Percy Jackson, #HardyBoys, Nancy Drew, and Artemis Fowl. I completed the #HarryPotter series in class 5 #Epic #Ramayana, #Mahabharata and the tales of legends like Prithviraj Chauhan. I read non-fiction as well. Believe it or not, every person has the longing for books deep within their hearts. It has just been suppressed by modern, fast paced lifestyles. So when I decided to start a YouTube channel, it had to be about books, because I saw my peers read very less. I wanted to introduce them to the magic of books. So I reviewed books on my channel to bring home my love for reading, instill every one with the same and to make people acknowledge the true power of reading books, along with the jollification of reading them. With this initiative, I am trying to reach out to as many people as possible. I would love to spread the joy of books as far and wide as I can. #Virtual book clubs are a great way to introduce new books that may be missed otherwise. We get opportunities to meet new people and share our passion for reading. Virtual book clubs have turned more people to reading as a #hobby even making it a part of their daily routine.My vision for my dream virtual book club is as given under:-  *I would like to have a platform where you can meet for longer hours so that you are able to  discuss your favourite book.  *I would include all genres, bestsellers, high literature, children’s #books, memoirs, and fiction,  anything that can be read and discussed. ** His YouTube initiative has been recognised and selected among top 100 in #Global Book Community #Awards 2020. Presently 'voting' is in progress in round 2.

    Living Passionate life on the Edge : Maj Jacob on passion talks with delhi Rommel

    Major Vivek Jacob (Veteran – Indian Army, Special Forces) Founder and Director - C.L.A.W Global & Operation Blue Freedom Foundation I was born into an Indian middle-class family and proudly joined the Army in my teens to serve my country. Post formal training at the National Defence Academy, I volunteered for and qualified as a Special Forces Operative. I specialised in Counter – Terrorist Operations and was trained in various skills oriented to delivering precise force in combat. I had the fortune to lead my men in numerous combat missions during my service spanning 14 years. It was while being deployed in the United Nations Mission in Africa as the commander of the Hostage Extraction Troop, that my understanding of what it meant to be alive, human and free, began to evolve. In 2015, I suffered a spinal cord injury in a combat skydive. While recovering in hospital, I met an Airforce officer permanently paralysed in a mishap. The days spent in hospital further changed my perspective of life. I voluntarily retired from the Army and began a life focused on creation rather than destruction. As I began a new journey, other ex- SF mates started joining in and we formed up under the flagship - C.L.A.W global - a team of highly trained former Special Forces soldiers. Specialists in scuba Diving, mountaineering, skydiving, un-armed combat, survival, emergency medical response, etc. We united our energy to teach these adventure and life skills to people with disabilities and tribal youth in villages. Our focus being to design and deliver sustainable, large-scale employment solutions for the handicapped and the underprivileged in the Environment Protection & Conservation space. In 2019, Team C.L.A.W launched Operation Blue Freedom. A movement to express the powerful spirit and ability of people with disabilities. To evolve the perception of society towards who they are and what they are capable of. To secure their right to dignity. To exercise their ability to contribute value and inspire freedom. For all. For more than a year, the Op Blue Freedom Team has travelled across the length of India and trained more than a 100 people paralysed by spinal cord injuries in Scuba diving. Our first step. We are presently preparing for Triple World Records, in the three elements of Land, Sea and Air, by people with disabilities. A statement of hope, inspiration, resilience and change. For people with disabilities and the able bodied alike across the world. Sans race, religion or international boundaries. Freedom is a collective experience. Either we all have it or none of us do.
