I would like to thank them for tagging me in their BIF’s and would also like to thank Moshe Naveh for starting such a great blog series.
For those who are not aware of Blog it Forward Challenge,check it here.

About me:
My name is Vivek SIngh Bhoj. I am a SAP HANA Consultant at Mindtree Ltd. I joined SCN in 2010 but i was never active here but since April this year i started participating actively and have got addicted to SCN now. As Ahmed, Jitendra and Marssel have already stated “SCN has become my social network”.
I was born in Almora(Uttarakhand), India. I am International Gold Medalist in Taekwondo. I won the international gold medal at World Taekwondo Festival,2004 held at Seoul, South Korea. I have also won many National and State Gold Medals in Taekwondo.Some of my pics:
My Hometown and my State:
Uttarakhand is a State in North India. It is often referred to as the “Land of the Gods” as many holy Hindu temples and pilgrimage centres are present here.
Two of the most important rivers in Hinduism originate here: the Ganga at Gangotri and the Yamuna at Yamunotri. Badrinath and Kedarnath form the Char Dham, a holy pilgrimage for the Hindus are also located here. The state has 12 National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries including Jim Corbett National Park, the oldest national park of the Indian subcontinent. The Valley of Flowers, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for the variety and rarity of the flowers and plants located here.
The state is divided into two divisions: Garhwal and Kumaon.
Almora is district in Uttarakhand and is located at the foothills of the Himalayas. It is called the Cultural Capital of Kumaon. Almora is mainly famous for its temples and cultural heritage. It is also famous for its Bal Mithai and Singauri.(both are sweets)

Questions I was asked:
What is your favorite season? Why?
My favorite season is Winter as i love playing with snow and the atmosphere when snow fall happens is awesome.
What is your next goal in your life?
I make only short term goals – and at present i just want to enhance my JavaScript and HTML5 skills for HANA Native Development.
Which is that thing makes you do good things in life?
Teachings from my parents and my teachers help me to do good things in life.
What are your Interests/Hobbies?
My hobby is playing Taekwondo. My interests are Customizing my Android phone(i change my home screen almost daily) and reading Manga.
I am a Manga addict. Everyday i wait for one of the new Manga Chapters to be released. The wait for Wednesday is special as that day three most famous Mangas new chapters are released. Most of us havw watched Dragonball, well it is also a Manga and the animation was based upon it. Similarly most of the mangas have animation series going on and Naruto is the most successful one with very high viewing rates even in U.S.
At present i am following 12 different Mangas.
The Big 3 are:
Naruto – its a story about a Ninja
One Piece – It is a story about Pirates
Bleach – Its a story about Shinigami(Death God)
Do you love programming?Why?
I love programming as it makes you think out of the box. It takes a lot of effort to even write a small code and sometimes when you have written an awesome code it makes you feel very happy.
Blogging It Forward:
I would like to blog it forward to the following people:
My questions for you would be:
What is your best moment in life?
How did you get into SAP technology?
Thanks for reading my Blog.
I know it got a lot bigger than i anticipated 😉
Well done Blog-It-Forward and nice to meet you.
I recognize the Manga books from the library where I volunteer - those are very popular books.
Great pictures too...congrats on being a Tae Kwon Do gold medalist.
Regards,
Tammy
Thank you Tammy
so many medals...wow.. well done... great yar 🙂
Uttrakhand is really beautiful. 😀
i am pretty sure there are many folks who are currently active @SCN will agree what you have mentioned in your BIF.
thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Jitendra
Thanks Jitendra
Yeap, now many people are busy @SCN.
Nice blog Vivek,
Yesterday I watched a movie "Bhag Milkha Bhag" which is based on a true story of Mr. Milkha Singh.. I came to know how much hard work, dedication and will power it takes for a person to become a great sport person. I am sure you must have done a lot of hard work.
Thanks Ashwini,
I started playing Taekwondo since Class -1 and carried on.
In India, there are many good sportsmen but Indian Government and State Governments(except Punjab) are not very helpful and if you want to participate in Major Events you need Financial Help. I have seen lot of politics even in District Tournaments and i am very sad to see current status of India in Sports.
Except Cricket no other game is promoted.
Even boxer like Akhil Kumar was not given promotion by Railway even after winning Arjuna Award while a Railway Cricketer played a Ranji Match and he got promoted.
This is the state of Indian Sports.
Hopefully, things will change slowly.
Kudos to you my friend ,
Being Multi - Talented is a different thing , but being awesomely talented is what you are my friend .A nice an interesting blog and superb pictures.
And I surely agree with ashwini it must have been real hard work
Thanks Tanveer
Wonderful pictures Vivek 🙂 the snowfall in your town is amazing.
Also Taekwondo is a great sport ... Nice medals man 😉
Thanks a lot Ahmed
Vivek,
Definitely I'm unable to choose the best picture. I appreciated knowing about his greate place.
My father and my cousins are black belt in Taekwondo and I played during my childhood up to 12 years. I also like manga and anime. Saint Seiya was my best.
Thank you, Vivek. All the best!
Thanks Marssel,
Good to know that you and your family has also played Taekwondo.
I haven't read Saint Seiya but will try it out.
I would recommend you to read above mentioned Mangas or watch their animes - Naruto, One Piece, Bleach and even FairyTail. They are awesome.
Good. I will try! 🙂 All the best
Completed Saint Seiya and all its episodes.
Its a good manga and anime.
I don't know whether you know but at present a new Anime Saint Seiya: Omega is going on including old characters and few new characters, its very good, you should give it a try
Regards,
Vivek

Hi Vivek
Thanks for sharing something about you and its good to know that you are a successful sportsman too. You are living in heaven on earth man. I just loved the pictures and I always wanted to travel such places but never had a chance 🙁
Himalya view tells that you are living near to my country 😉 and I would love that view from my side if I get chance to be there in future 🙂
Thanks for tagging me and now I have to put some efforts and time to write my own blog now.
Cheers and Good luck for your Programming and SAP HANA skills.
Thank$
Thanks MoazzaM,
Hopefully you will get a chance to travel this place.
Even the bus that comes from your hometown to Delhi passes through Dehradun(My State's Capital), so any time you come to Delhi or any other part, you can come especially in Summer or Winter.
Looking forward to your blog 🙂
Regards,
Vivek
Hi Vivek
Thanks for nice compliments but I thought that buss passes through Wahga border near punjab but your home town looks like a hill station which cannot be in punjab I guess 😯
Thank$
Hi MoazzaM,
yes the bus doesn't pass from my hometown, its far from Dehradun or Delhi, but couple of times i have seen the Bus in Dehradun bus station and from there it goes to Delhi.
Dehradun is a valley and it comes under my State.
The distance from Dehradun to my hometown is more than 400 kilometers
The Bus used Delhi Dehradun route.
The bus used to come from Chandigarh to Dehradun.
Regards,
Vivek
Thanks Vivek for updating me. Its something new information for me 🙂

I just checked a strange thing. If you move your pointer on my name which you have tagged at the end of your blog, see what system is showing you. It should be me but its not 😯
Thank$
Yeah, you are correct, I tried writing your name at the end and even after that it is showing other person on hovering over your name
But if you click on your name, it will take it to your profile.
Even the names above you show that same profile on hovering.
Guess some SCN bug
Regards,
Vivek

I don't know how did I miss this blog 😕
Ah, finally I read it. It took me back to my final year college trip to Uttarakhand. We went to Corbett, Nainital, Jageshwar temple, some Bell temple @Bageshwar, Ranikhet. It was an amazing trip and seeing all those scenes again, on this blog, gives me an nice feel.
Thank you 🙂
ntn
I think you went to Chitai Temple that comes before going to Jageshwar
In Bageshwar, Bagnath Temple is famous
Regards,
Vivek
I don't remember the name. But there were lots of hanging bells. And a long corridor on the entrance.

Hi Vivek,
