Once upon a time, a businessman named KP Singh proposed the idea of building a tree house upon a 65 years old Mango tree without cutting a single branch of the tree. The idea was so raw and difficult that when he took this idea of his to different architects and engineers around the city, none of them agreed to it.

One day his wish got fulfilled and the tree house got constructed just the way he wanted it to be without any damage to the tree and its branches. Surprisingly, the tree wasn’t made by some architect or civil engineer but a small artisan of Surat with the academic qualification of just grade seven. This tree house was later featured in the Limca book of world records.

It took several big and small artisans to convert their dream into reality and after 30 years of hard work, they were recognized by not just Limca Book of Records but also Guinness book of World records and that too not just once but twice.

 

From all these records and stories, one thing is pretty clear that if you have a passion to do something, no one in the universe can stop you from doing that. These motivational people proved that if you want to become someone that nobody has ever become, then you have to do something that no one has ever done. So, if you have something in your mind which you want to do, do not think twice, get up right now and go conquer the world.

Once upon a time, a businessman named KP Singh proposed the idea of building a tree house upon a 65 years old Mango tree without cutting a single branch of the tree. The idea was so raw and difficult that when he took this idea of his to different architects and engineers around the city, none of them agreed to it.

One day his wish got fulfilled and the tree house got constructed just the way he wanted it to be without any damage to the tree and its branches. Surprisingly, the tree wasn’t made by some architect or civil engineer but a small artisan of Surat with the academic qualification of just grade seven. This tree house was later featured in the Limca book of world records.

After the Great Wall of China, Kumbhalgarh fort near the Udaipur district has the largest continuous wall measured more than 38 kilometers surrounding the fort. Surprisingly, even after being the second largest wall in the world, you cannot see the fort and the wall unless you are within a half mile of it.

This way of construction was intentional and had a great strategy behind it. Back then, the kings and the rulers of Mewar used to reside in the fort. The fort was designed in such a way that it would not be visible to the enemies and thus, they kept themselves safe. The 38 kilometers long wall was constructed in order to protect the entire fort from the attacks of the enemies.
