Sikkim Guys showing keen interest in Rubik's Cube

Whenever I browse net,I start with google,type something and read the stuffs...Some days back I had no clue what to browse on...So,I simply entered Gaurav Dhungel (he's my school friend) and hit the search button.Oh! I got shocked.This first link from World Cube Association(http://www.worldcubeassociation.org).
I hurried up and opened the link.I can't believe Gaurav had started Cubing.Yes,you are guessing right,I am talking about Rubik's Cube.He is basically a guy from Central Pendam and he was my benchmate in Central Pendam Sr. Sec. School.He is now persuing B.Tech in Civil Engineering from North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology(NERIST),Arunachal Pradesh.He does participate in online cubing  competition(click to see his score) and also participated in Shristi Open Competition held by WCA at NERIST.Not only Gaurav there are two more guys hailing from Sikkim who love solving Rubik's Cube.
Pawan Siwakoti,comes from Namchi,ECE student,NERIST shows keen interest and his timing is around 70 seconds(click to see his score)
Prasin Tamang,also from Namchi,his timing also comes around a minute.

These guys have participated in the college level competition and have won certificate too and are showing their keen interest in Cubing and are trying to do better in it.They all are from small towns and villages from Sikkim,but they are trying something different,something challenging and trying to excel in it.I guess they will be a kind of motivation to those who think think "things are impossible to do".Friends, a very well known proverb says "Where There Is Will There Is a Way".So never Quit.As one of my teachers used to say "Dream,Determination and Dedication" are the keys to success and I think he is always true.
Hats Off to these Guys!!
And the very best of luck to them from My Green Sikkim
