If you don’t find that following the lockdown is an uphill
task, here is an opportunity to unlock your talents and earn a free
holiday in Darjeeling.
The Himalayan Mountaineering Institute
(HMI), Darjeeling, has announced an online event: “21 Days Big Boss
Indoor Challenge – fight against Covid-19” to motivate people to stay
indoors.
People from across the country can upload videos or pictures of their indoor activities during the lockdown period.
“They
need to upload their posts on our Facebook page, accompanied by a small
description. Few top winners will be provided with complimentary stay
in Darjeeling,” HMI principal Gp Capt Jai Kishen said.
The HMI competition draws inspiration from the famous
television reality show Bigg Boss. Participants in the competition will
have to spend days while remaining confined to a given space.
In
the contest floated by the HMI, the winner will get an opportunity to
stay for five nights and four days at the HMI, Darjeeling, while the
runner-up will be hosted for three nights and two days.
The person
coming third will be provided with an HMI tracksuit. All entries will
win certificates. Also, the top 10 will win mementoes and badges.
Along
with this, there are many other awards in the form of HMI souvenirs and
goodies. One can write articles on 21 days’ lockdown and email the same
to hmidarj@gmail.com.
The best article will be published in the
annual journal of the institute and the author will receive free HMI
journals for five years.
The HMI is currently hosting a group of 73 trainees who cannot move out of the premises because of the lockdown.
“They
started their training on March 2 and even though their session would
end this month, they have to stay at the HMI till April 14,” said the
principal.
The HMI has also started innovative competition for the boarders.
“We
have announced awards like best cleaning warriors group, best indoor
athlete, best poetry, best story teller, best sketches and best
‘antakshari’ for our boarders,” Gp Capt Kishen said.
