GOVERNMENT OF RAIDS: GEHLOT’S CHARGE ON CENTRE
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot has
attacked the Centre
and termed the union
government as ‘govern-
ment of raids’. “They
raided our place, raid-
ed my brother’s place
too. When this govern-
ment will go, the com-
mon man will say that
it was a government of
raids. When Ajit Pa-
war’s place was raided
in Maharashtra, his
sister’s place was also
raided. Pawar’s sister
lives in a two-room
flat,” Gehlot said at the
Pinkcity Press Club
meeting with the press
on Monday
.
Interacting with
journos at the auditori-
um, Gehlot said, “For
the first time the hall of
the press club is full. I
want to do more than
what you expect from
me. I have a sacred rela-
tion with journalists. I
consider your role to be
veryimportant.20years
ago I created a welfare
fund for journalists. I
am for journalists with
all my heart and will
take care of media till
my last breath.”
Gehlot on Monday
doubted the veracity of
Meghalaya Governor
Satyapal Malik’s pur-
ported claim that Un-
ion Home Minister
Amit Shah dubbed
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi mad.
Gehlot said if it’s in-
deed true, there must
be some understanding
between the PM and the
Home Minister. “I don’t
think Amit Shah can
use such language for
the PM. Only two peo-
ple are ruling the coun-
try today
. There are just
two faces (those of) Nar-
endra Modi and Amit
Shah. If he has spoken
such words, it is a kind
of understanding,” Ge-
hlot told reporters.
Gehlot made the re-
marks after Congress
leader Mallikarjun
Kharge shared on his
Twitter handle a video
of Malik purportedly
telling a public function
atCharkhiDadriinHar-
yana that when he met
PrimeMinisterModion
farmers’issue,thelatter
was “arrogant” and had
a fight with him within
five minutes .
Malik is purportedly
heard saying in the vid-
eo clip that when he met
laterShah,thelattertold
him that “people have
clouded his (Modi’s) vi-
sion”. Turn to P8

‘Practice your religion, don’t indulge in hate speech’
Yati Narsinghanand named
in2ndFIR;SITtoinvestigate Kottayam: Vice-Presi-
dent Venkaiah Naidu
on Monday spoke out
against hate speech,
saying it goes against
the country’s culture,
Constitution and
ethos, and that “every
person has the right to
practise and preach
his or her faith”.
Addressing an event
marking the 150th
death anniversary of
Saint Kuriakose Elias
Chavara in Kottayam,
Kerala, the Vice-Presi-
dent said, “Hate speech
and writings are
against (the country’s)
culture, heritage, tra-
dition and Constitu-
tional rights and ethos.
Every person has the
right to practise and
preach his or her faith
in the country. Practise
your religion but don’t
abuse and indulge in
hate speech and writ-
ings,’’ he said, express-
ing his “disapproval of
attempts to ridicule
other religions and
create dissensions in
society”.
Saying Saint
Chavara, the 19th cen-
tury Catholic priest,
philosopher and social
reformer, “has taught
us that peaceful hu-
man relationships are
sacred and more im-
portant than anything
else”, Naidu said, “To-

— a towering individu-
al with a vision to
unite all sections of
society socially and
culturally, and take the

First India Bureau
Jaipur: Though two
and a half months have
elapsed, since an elder-
ly person took his own
life piqued over contin-
uous threat from a con-
stable of Kardhani po-
lice station of the city,
the police have so far,
not taken any action
against the accused po-
liceman.

Dotasra accused the
BJP of fighting among

ing in humiliating each
other. “Rajasthan has 25
out of 25 BJP MPs, but it
is unfortunate that they
did not bring any pro-
jects for the state. The
Modi government at the
Centre did not give any-
thing to the Rajasthan

PARNAMI ELATED AFTER
MEETING SHAH IN NEW DELHI
Aishwary Pradhan
Jaipur: Former BJP
State President Ashok
Parnami met Home
Minister Amit Shah in
New Delhi on Monday
.
The talks between Shah
and Parnami lasted for
about half-an-hour. Al-
though it is being said
that it was a courtesy
meeting, it has become a
hot topic of discussion.
Parnami is from
Vasundhara Raje’s
camp. He, on several oc-
casions, has said that
Raje would be the face
of the party in Ra-
jasthan. Notably, these
days, many leaders are
in New Delhi to meet
Shah so the meeting be-
tween the two has be-
come significant.
Paranami, who was
until now very quiet,
appeared extremely
happy after the meet-
ing. He immediately
briefed Raje about the
meeting. However, this
development has
brought a barrage of
questions in the ‘rele-
vant sections’ in the
BJP and party leaders
are wondering whether
Parnami praised Raje
along with his appris-
ing Shah of his own
performance and did he
talk to Shah about the
internal factionalism in
Rajasthan BJP?
Therefore, perhaps for
the saffron party leader,
the biggest question of
the day is as to why is
Parnami so elated, yet
maintaining a silence
on his elation? Interest-
ingly, a worker associ-
ated closely with Par-
nami has hinted, “Just
wait and watch what
happens in the future!”
Now the supporters of
both Gajendra Singh
Shekhawat and Satish
Poonia are guessing as
to what could have hap-
pened in the meeting
and trying to find the
actual meaning of the
worker’s remark.
However, sources reveal
that the High Command
does not want to upset
any ‘group’ hence, Shah
took complete feedback
from Parnami, a prime
member of Raje group,
who also put forward
his organisational ac-
tivism post 2019.
Jaipur: Deputy LoP Rajendra Rathore on Monday,
termed the remarks made by CM Ashok Gehlot
against the Centre in the ‘Meet the Press’ programme
as baseless and unfortunate. He said that it has been
the habit of Gehlot to make unrestrained statements
against the Central Government and cover up his fail-
ures by lying. “It is unfortunate that the CM is raising
a question mark on the central government regard-
ing the misuse of constitutional institutions and the
Pegasus case,” he said.

TOP TWEETS
BOLD AND BLUNT,
MEGHALAYA GUV
SHOOTS “ARROGANT”
JIBE AT THE PM
eghalaya Governor
Satya Pal Malik has
been raising his voice
against his party and
its leadership un-
mindful of the consequences of
his outspokenness. As Governor
of Goa from 2019-20, he targeted
the Pramod Sawant government
accusing it of corruption. He
said he saw “corruption in every-
thing the Goa government did”.
His remark caused a political
uproar in the state and the BJP’s
central leadership was apprised
of the Governor’s role against
the government of his own party
.
His latest salvo is aimed at
none other but the prime minis-
ter himself. He was openly criti-
cal of PM Narendra Modi’s han-
dling of the farmers’ protest.
Even as Governor of Megha-
laya, Malik made statements
which were pro-farmer and anti-
Central government.
This time he has gone to the
extent of calling the PM “stub-
born” and “arrogant”. Despite
his outbursts, the Centre has tol-
eratedMalikalltheseyears.Why
the leadership is soft on him is
difficulttounderstand.Howlong
a rope will Malik be given?
M
itHub, an open
source platform,
has allowed itself
to be used by an
app that specialis-
es in humiliating, denigrat-
ing and trolling Muslim wom-
en by uploading their photos
picked from their social me-
dia sites. In July last year the
app ‘Sulli Deals’ shocked neti-
zens as it had the tagline of
“Sulli deal of the day” along
with photographs of Muslim
women. Sulli is a derogatory
term for women and the site
was purportedly meant for
auction of Muslim women
whose morphed, lewd photos
were uploaded. The disgust-
ing purpose was to cause hurt
and social and mental trauma
to the minority community
.
Women were soft targets for
the malicious campaign.
GitHub should have been
permanently blocked but it
was not. It has now been used
by another app which goes by
the name of Bulli Bai. Mus-
lim women again found them-
selves targeted by the app just
as they were done by the Sulli
deal app. FIRs have been reg-
istered and Union IT Minister
Ashwini Vaishnaw said that
the “government was work-
ing with the police organisa-
tions in Delhi and Mumbai in
the matter”. The IT Ministry
has the power to permanently
block GitHub for allowing its
constantmisusebytheobnox-
ious misogynist apps. Twitter
also should be questioned for
not taking immediate action.
Asking the IT Minister to
take “stern action against
such rampant misogyny and
communal targeting of wom-
en through #sullideals like
platforms”,SenaMPPriyanka
said it was “a shame that it
continues to be ignored”. Tar-
geting of Muslim women and
DharmSansad’scallforethnic
cleansing are ominous signs.

MYSTIC OF BENARAS
ATTRACTS WIDOWS
Come to Kashi and die. For centuries, devout Hindus have descended on the ancient town on the banks of the swiftly-flowing
Ganga to do just that. It is believed, if anyone dies in Varanasi they attain salvation and freedom from the cycle of birth and rebirth
n the banks of the holy River
Ganga, breathes Benaras also
calledKashi/Varanasi,which
is believed to be the oldest liv-
ing city in the world. For cen-
turies,themysticof thisplace
has been attracting pilgrims
from across the globe. It is be-
lieved that widows in India
ply to Varanasi to seek shelter
in the abode of Lord Shiva.
Varanasi is a city with
morethan38,000widowsatits
various ashrams and Widow
Houses. It is the highest in
any city after Vrindavan in
India. Over the decade’s wid-
ows of Benaras has been con-
sidered an important re-
search topic for social scien-
tists and scholars of India
and the world over. I as a stu-
dent, indeed have my head
held high, to be joining these
learned scholars in trying to
unravelling this mystery of
thewidowslivinginisolation.
Putting my best foot forward
in aid to help them I travelled
the street of this holy town to
know more about their lot!
Durga Kund Ashram
Widows of the Durga Kund
HelpLine ashram spend time
byorganizingBhagwadKatha
spiritual get-togethers. In
theabsenceof familysupport,
they spend most of their time
praying and looking for food.
While visiting here, the
first one I met was a strong,
tall woman putting on light
ornaments and clean tied-up
bun, Somvati, a resident of
Fatehpur Sikri in Uttar
Pradesh took us to a happy
positive world despite staying
away from family. It is noth-
ing less than a home away
from home for her as she is
residing here for 18 years.
Skinny Shanti Devi, whom
Imetsecondwaslookingweak
as she was stepping down the
stairs but her conversation
was clean and crisp. She is a
residentof Biharandhasbeen
putting up at Kashi for 20
yearsnow.About40peopleare
staying here for 15 years.
The Birla Ashram
While neglected by authori-
ties, widows of Birla Ashram
here are lost in a state of
desolation. In one of the
many narrow by-lanes be-
hind Kashi Vishwanath Tem-
ple, stands the Birla Ashram
with a narrow entrance gate.
Faded walls of an old dam-
aged haveli with tiny 10
rooms is the adobe for 10 wid-
ows. The first widow I met
here was Gita Agarwal from
Kolkata, she gave up on her
family after the wedding of
her 4 daughters. Though un-
educated she has a bold voice
and is partially happy with
the services here.
These widows display a
strong faith in routine and
they follow it rigorously de-
spite their falling health.
Early in the morning, they
take a dip in the Holy Ganga,
braving the chill in the air,
and start their daily chores.
Most of the women here
are a stickler for their priva-
cy and do not entertain inter-
actions from strangers. How-
ever after much coaxing,
they inform that some ran
from their homes after their
sons took all their money and
property, some had failed to
be useful for their families
while a few were thrown out
of their houses due to failing
health. The deep scare visi-
ble on their faces, frail voic-
es, and tears rolling down
their eyes narrates the unfor-
tunate circumstances that
have befallen them.
Mata Anandmayi Ashram
On visiting Mata Anandmayi
Ashram, we found that their
major focus was Sanskrit
studies, preserving the old
teaching of Mata Anadmayi,
spiritual equality for women.
Here we found women or
devotees rekindling thoughts
of Ma amongst people.
Nepali Mandir Ashram
Nearby Lalita Ghat is famous
for housing the Nepali Man-
dir, which was built by the
King of Nepal almost 20 years
ago. Set in this tranquil back-
drop,isawidows’ashramthat
is supported by the temple.
After spending some days
with these unfortunate wom-
en, some important issues
related to the social-econom-
ical problem of the widows
of Benaras came to the fore.
Benaras can be considered as
one of the rehabilitation
hubs for these destitute wid-
ows of Indian society. Wid-
ows choose this place as their
secure shelter!

when it comes to stop-

DGP ML Lather dur-
ing an interview with
Shivendra Parmar
z Q: How do you rank
police work in 2021?
A: Rajasthan Police has
done a very good job in
2021. It has been a good
job in controlling crime
and maintaining law
and order. Police has
done a good job in Co-
rona also last year. Cops
worked on all fronts in
exemplary fashion in
the last year.
z Q: In the last year,
it was a dual chal-
lenge to follow the co-
rona protocol and
control crime, how
was it coordinated?
A: It was a difficult task
but according to the pri-
ority of the govern-
ment, the corona proto-
col was also followed
and police did a better
job in crime control. Po-
lice made green corri-
dors for uninterrupted
supply of oxygen in the
second wave of corona.
z Q: What are the
priorities of Ra-
jasthan Police for
2022?
A: SC ST, preventing
crimes related to wom-
en and children is the
top priority for the po-
lice. Stopping organ-
ized crime and control-
ling the new emerging
mafia will also be the
priority of the police.
Cyber crime also re-
mains a challenge. We
are second in the nation
when it comes to stop-
ping it and this year we
will do better work.
z Q: Rape ac-
cused have been
punished in
the least
number of
days, how
was this
campaign
made suc-
cessful?
A: Before 2018, the aver-
age investigation time
in such cases was about
300 days, in today’s date
it has come down to 70
days. There is a wom-
en’s unit, which is head-
ed by Additional SP.
z Q: Rajasthan is the
first state in the coun-
try which has pre-
sented the vision for
the next 10 years,
what is your inten-
tion behind it?
A: It is necessary
to have a vi-
sion document of any
department because
when we do not know
what will be the chal-
lenges in front of us in
the coming days, we
will not be able to face
them in a better way
. As
a result of the vision
document, now work at
the micro level will be
carried out in a better
manner.
z Q: Due to some po-
lice officers, the credi-
bility of the police
has been affected.
People who do
good work
have also got
record promo-
tions. How will
those who do
good work be
encouraged,
and what is
the
message for those who
are indisciplined?
A: The policy of the
Home department is
very clear. Action will
be taken against those
who do wrong things
with the policy of zero
tolerance. We will not
tolerate them in the po-
lice at any cost.
z Q: The new year has
started again with the
challenge of Corona.
The government has
taken out strict guide-
lines, how will they be
followed? And what is
your appeal to the
people of the state?
A: Whatever work will
be entrusted to the po-
lice by the state govern-
ment, it will be done
very well. The corona
has hit us twice, the po-
lice have followed the
instructions of the gov-
ernment with full pri-
ority and responsibili-
ty. It is my appeal to
people to follow the
corona protocol.
Vaccination is
most important
at this time, so
get yourself
vaccinated.

More relaxation in free hold patta from leasehold patta

partments issued or-
ders as per which in-
terest on any outstand-
ing amount will not be
taken if application is
received for getting
free hold patta from
leasehold.
The local bodies will
not be able to recover
interest and only prin-
cipal amount will be
taken and free hold
patta will be issued.
Incase of sold plot
If the plot is sold, then
free hold lease can be
reissued in favour of
the buyer. For this, the
applicant will have to
pay the prescribed fee.
If the process of land
conversion has been
taken by local bodies
in a scattered way and
has approved the site
plan accordingly, then
in such cases, the pre-
approved plan will be
considered as a com-
mitment and the local
bodies will issue leases
as per that.
Commercial pattas
Commercial pattas will
be allotted as per the
width of the road. In
case shops are built in
residential and other
land use, then the land
use of the entire land
strip will be done.
For old settlements
In matter of leases in
old settlements, mark-
ing the property on
Google map will not be
mandatory. Local bod-
ies will be registering
the Google location af-
ter verification at site.
Anita Hada
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot is one of the
rare pedigree of politicians
who observe a person not
only on basis of public per-
ception but going several
steps ahead and under-
standing how an individual
is as regards their nature
and true self. Even though
he keeps busy in the devel-
opment of state, sources
close to him reveal that he
keeps an eye on the issues
raised by media as well and
knows good journalists like
the back of his hand.
In this connection, on
Monday, while interacting
with media, Gehlot lauded
and appreciated, with an
open heart, First India’s
channel head Jagdeesh
Chandra and said encour-
aging comments on his
style of work. In return,
Chandra responded by ex-
pressing gratitude to Gehlot
for his ‘aashirwad’.
“It has to be said about
him that he is a ‘master’.
He effectively answers all
the questions raised by
male and female journalists
in his New JC Show. He is
a major player,” Gehlot said
with a chuckle, and further
added, “I used to observe;
he would land in a flight
with PM at 4 in the morn-
ing and at 6 AM, he would
leave in another flight with
Vice-President. Therefore,
there must be something
special about him. In 10
years he travelled around
the world with President,
Vice-President and PM.”
“It is difficult to find such
a person. He does not hide
his limitations which is a
rare quality. When we travel
by planes, he would get
the nearby seats booked
in advance. There is much
to learn from him. You all
should learn. He sends
flower bouquets where
ever you are. One thing
has to be said that he
can impress anyone and
everyone,” Gehlot said in
appreciation. CM Gehlot
also lauded crisp, brief
news (patti) that was
started by Chandra. “He is
a master of these pattis.
He was in ETV, then Zee
and now First India, only
he knows where he will
head next. He knows in
advance where and what
he has to do,” a smiling
Gehlot said.

Jaipur: CM Ashok Ge-
hlot on Monday direct-
ed all departments to
work in coordination to
implement the propos-
als of investment re-
ceived ahead of the In-
vest Rajasthan summit
proposed to be held
here on January 24-25.
Gehlot chaired a review
meeting in which it was
informed that 1,454
MoU)/ LoI worth Rs 6.16
lakh crores have been
signed so far
The Chief Minister said
that in the last three
years, the state govern-
ment has taken several
important policy deci-
sions, which has creat-
ed a positive environ-
ment for investment in
Rajasthan and it should
be ensured that the ben-
efits of these decisions
are received during the
summit, a release said.
He said that the revenue
department should
work proactively for al-
lotment of land for in-
dustries.
Gehlot said that in-
vestors should not face
any problem in getting
various approvals.
Also, the process of in-
vestment proposals at
the level of the district
collector should be com-
pleted on time and there
should be adequate
monitoring of the in-
vestment proposals.

The CM stressed that
people within BJP have
started saying that the
opposition should re-
main strong. “These
people do not under-
stand Rahul Gandhi. I
have been with him for
10 months; he is intelli-
gent. Somebody had
asked him why he
doesnt talk about BJP-
mukt Bharat. To this he
said that BJP-RSS
should not end, we will
fight them on the basis
of ideology, there is no
enmity. This is the
thinking that drives Ra-
hul Gandhi. The RSS-
BJP earlier tried to de-
fame Indira Gandhi as
well. They also defamed
Rajiv Gandhi. Their
strategy is to attack the
number one leader of
Congress.” Gehlot also
urged people to appreci-
ate the difference be-
tween Hindus and Hin-
dutva-wadis as ob-
served by Congress
leader Rahul. Those
who are talking about
Hindu Rashtra are just
misleading people.
They have been suc-
cessful in coming to
power but people will
have to make a decision
who is with the truth,
he said.
He also asked if the
SC should not prioritise
the hearing of cases of
Pegasus and electoral
bonds that, he alleged,
are being misused by
the government for
weakening opposition.
Interacting with
journos, CM said, “I
have always done differ-
ent kind of politics. I
wish for the welfare of
the living beings. I have
never asked anything
for himself. I do not be-
lieve that God changes
with the changing of
the boundaries of coun-
try
. That power remains
the same. I have become
aUnionMinisterthrice,
Congress State Prez
thrice, National Gener-
al Secy thrice and CM
thrice, no one knows
what will happen next.
I said in a meeting that
I am the only MLA of
my caste, people of 36
communities believe in
me. I am alone and you
are tolerating me.”
Gehlot stressed that
he is not a Chanakya

truth, that is how my

God, I believe. There is
no substitute for truth,
I will also follow it.”

Congress leaders. Inter-

that a news has been

We’re proud to announce that this is the
second time we will hostThe Fashion Con-
nect event at the Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate
Hotel.Their team hosted an amazing show
in 2021, where many attendees from Dubai
shared the same enjoyment with this ex-
travagant and glamorous event.This year,
we’re thrilled to welcome back and host
this event with even greater achievements
and memories to take with us.

After the amazing success of Fashion
Connect season 9 at Dubai in March 2021,
we are pleased to announce that Season
11 of this mega fashion show will once
again be held at the Oaks Ibn Battuta Gate
Hotel, Dubai.We promise you an even
better show and this year with the second
season of Luxury Lifetsyle Awards teamed
with the first ever First India Queen of
Cosmos, 2022 is going to grander than
ever with these flagship events.
—JAGDEESH CHANDRA
CEO Editor-in-Chief, First India
I am very much excited for the Fashion
Connect Season 11 and every time we set
a new benchmark. I’m sure this season
will be bigger and better than the previous
ones.The best part of it is that we have a
legendary designer SuneetVarma as our
grand finale designer.This is also a very
good time to do a show in Dubai because
the whole world is looking at Dubai Expo.
—LOKESH SHARMA
Show Director
It’s not easy to do an event or a Fashion
Show abroad, outside your own country.
And we are not only doing, Fashion Con-
nect, but we are also doing our interna-
tional pageant calledThe Queen of Cos-
mos along with Luxury Lifestyle awards.
So basically if you see there are 3 events
in Dubai and something so massive,
something so big could only be possible
with the support of Jagdeesh Chandra. I’m
just keeping my fingers crossed, wanting
that COVD should settle down in our coun-
try and UAE as well and there shouldn’t
be many cases.We also have film actress
Daisy Shah on board. She’ll be joining us
as well, and we have Salman Khan’s cos-
tume designer, Ashley Robello on board.
Looking forward to a great time.”

YOUR
DAY
Horoscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
YOUR FOOD,
LIFESTYLE AND
YOUR HEART
t has been
known for a
long that specif-
ic foods and nu-
trients can em-
power your
heart against
many diseases includ-
ing myocardial infarc-
tion. But it is also a fact
of life that people don’t
adhere to a bland diet
for long especially dur-
ing their youth which
is actually the time
that future heart dis-
eases start taking their
r o o t s . People who
are health conscious
mostly go for specific
nutrientsordietwhich,
again, is not sustaina-
ble for the whole life. A
better option is to cre-
ate a diet pattern rath-
er than a specific diet
or nutrition supple-
ment. The first impor-
tant action is to bal-
ance calorie intake as
per the need of a per-
son according to sphere
and type of work - the
calorie requirement of
an office worker is very
different from that of a
construction worker. A
work-related calorie in-
take also helps main-
tain weight and gener-
al fitness.
The second impor-
tant step is to go for sea-
sonal and different va-
rieties of fruits and
vegetables. These natu-
ral products for great
heart health should
prompt us to protect
and promote the tree
population. This would
be a mutually benefi-
cial coexistence main-
ly for the human race.
Avoid refined grain
products. Go for whole-
grain foods as they pro-
tect your heart, are
more nutritious and
help in maintaining
weight. Whole-grain
foods digest better as
well.
Your major source
of protein should be of
vegetarian origin in
form of pulses, leg-
umes, low-fat dairy,
nuts, and fish. In non-
vegetarian foods,
avoid processed
meat, prefer lean
meat.
It is always benefi-
cial to avoid tropical
oils like palm oil. Go for
cold-pressed sunflower,
sesame oil, mustard,
and extra virgin olive
oil. Overall, oil intake
should be the bare min-
imum as per present-
day lifestyle. Repeated
heating of the oil is a
big NO.
Foods with added
sugars including sweet-
ened beverages should
always be denied for
the sake of your heart
as well as overall
health. As far as the
salt intake is con-
cerned, it should be a
low salt diet. Some peo-
ple including many
physicians go over-
board and stop salt in-
take totally. This may
lead to low sodium lev-
els in the blood which
is a very serious condi-
tion and may cause
brain damage and even
death. Similarly, those
who love alcohol
should also go for mod-
eration.
If you can tolerate
chili pepper, then is
would be a fine addi-
tion to your food. Cap-
saicin in chili peppers
is anti-in- flam-
matory, an- tiox-
i d a n t ,
blood glu-
cose regu-
lator, and
anti-cancer
agent. A good chutney
with garlic is bliss, es-
pecially during winter.
In summary, the
better heart-protecting
foods are - green leafy
vegetables, yellow veg-
etables, whole grains,
fruits, tea, and coffee in
moderation. The foods
that harm your heart
are refined grains, red
meat, processed meat,
deep-fried foods and
sugary beverages.
Finally, what mat-
ters most is your atti-
tude towards life. A
tendency to accu-
mulate at the cost of
living a natural and vi-
brant life, monotonous
routine, being a work-
horse, anger, greed,
hate, poor sleep,
overexertion and
even excessive ex-
ercise are other
factors that
put a strain
on your
heart. A
b l i s s f u l
and con-
tented life with the
moderate but continu-
ous progress of living
standards is, perhaps,
the best option.

HAIDER
Haider is a must-watch, as it has
a phenomenal story, which is
backed up by amazing performanc-
es by actors. Shahid shines in this
movie, it is his best performance as
of now. Haider, the protagonist re-
turns to Jammu and Kashmir when the
state is bedevilled by a violent insurgen-
cy
. He seeks closure regarding his father’s
disappearance, but the state’s politics
overpower him. Set amidst the insurgen-
cy-hit Kashmir conflicts of 1995 and civil-
ian disappearances, Haider is a modern-
day adaptation of William Shakespeare’s
Hamlet. Haider was the first Indian film
to win the People’s Choice Award at the
Rome Film Festival.
MAQBOOL
Maqbool is a 2004 Indian crime drama
film starring Late Actor Irrfan Khan,
Tabu and Pankaj Kapur is an adaptation
of the play Macbeth by Shakespeare.
Maqbool, an underworld don’s hench-
man, falls in love with his boss’s lover,
Nimmi, who prompts him to kill the don
and become the next frontrunner. The
plot of the film is based on that of Mac-
beth about events and characterisation.
“Maqbool” is one of those rare films
which just didn’t warm to despite its
quality. The writing is a surprising adap-
tation of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” to
modern-day India.
OMKARA
Omkara is a renovation of William
Shakespeare’s Othello set in the Indian
farms. Half-caste bandit Omkara Shukla
played by Ajay Devgan abducts his lady
love from her family. A conspiracy, how-
ever, forms against him when he denies
his right-hand man, Langda Tyagi a pro-
motion and appoints Kesu played by
Vivek Oberoi as his lieutenant, Langda
feels betrayed and plots revenge. Dark
theme, robust language, rigid script, in-
tensely executed drama sequences, that’s
Omkara.
7 KHOON MAAF
The film tells the story of a Fatale Su-
sanna played by Priyanka Chopra who is
hungry for love and will go to any extent
to find it in its purest form. In her quest
for the perfect man, she gets married sev-
eral times as each of her husbands dies
mysteriously. The movie is based on Rus-
kin Bond’s book Sussana’s Seven Hus-
bands. It is knitted gorgeously and pours
the aroma of precise acting.
THE BLUE UMBRELLA
Binya – a small girl from the hills. Few
tourists’ gift Binya a blue umbrella and
she gains immense popularity. However,
Nandakishore played by Pankaj Kapoor,
the only shopkeeper in their village,
tries to get his hands on her umbrella.
The main theme of the very sober story
is to keep others happy by doling out the
things that you love most. It is tough to
renounce the things that we love.

Chief Secretary Niranjan
Arya released the
poster of ‘Vani Sanyam’
campaign in honour of
women on 2 January,
Sunday at his residence
with Co-founders Vipin
Kumar Jain and Ruchika
Jain who had started this
endeavour in 2019 in
Jaipur. In this campaign,
people are motivated
to pledge not to speak
many oft-used words,
idioms and phrases which
are in common use but
derogatory to women.
Many dignitaries have
supported this cause for
empowering women.
Vikram Srivastava, a young
classical singer, enchanted
the audience with his singing
at Net Theat, during a classical
evening dedicated to Shruti
Mandal founder Rajmal Surana.
On the Tabla, he was backed by
state Tabla musician Ghulam
Gos. On the harmonium,
Kushal Nanda provided a
lovely accompaniment. The
programme was hosted by
Ishwar Dutt Mathur.
On the first day of 2022,Vaishali
Nagar’s Nursery Park Yog
Parivaar picked up the trash,
threw away cups and discarded
bottles from the road to spread
awareness about cleanliness.
All members of Nursery Park
Yog Parivaar along with Nagar
Nigam Councillor Praveen
Yadav participated. Ravi Kamra
informed that senior people not
only in age but in position and
profession joined hands with
garbage bags in their hands.
Journalist Anubha Jain was conferred with
the Global Woman Finpowerment Excellence
International Award – 2021 by the Witty Gossip,
an international organisation, and the Global
Peace and Sustainability Development Summit in
a virtual award ceremony on Friday. Besides that,
academicians from different walks of life from 14
various countries were also awarded during the
ceremony. On the occasion, journalist Anubha said
that “Owing to the patriarchal system and inequality
of gender, empowerment of women is the need
of the hour today and has been considered a vital
issue worldwide.”
Ritika Memorial Charitable Trust held a Pink Ribbon Run in Jaipur to raise breast cancer
awareness. The event included three categories: cycling, a 4 km run and strolling, where
100 individuals cycled, 200 participated in running and 200 participated in walking.

an oath to raise cancer awareness. In the programme, MP Ramcharan Bohra, senior
specialist of Bhagwan Mahaveer Cancer Hospital Dr Pawan Agarwal, Dr Saroj Purohit
with other specialist Doctors were present.
BLUE PRINT FOR A LIFE
GOD WISHES FOR US
The kind of life God wishes for us
is that our lives should be cen-
tered on love-love for God and
love for our fellow beings. When
we give-give and give to all
around us to bring joy and happi-
ness to their lives we get blessed
from the Universe.
It all beings as we connect with
God’s love through the process of
meditation. By taking our atten-
tion away from the outer world
and focus it within, we are truly
going to be filled with joy and
bliss.
When we live at the level of our
soul we can transcend the walls of
separation and embrace one and
all. We develop the godly virtues
of truthfulness, non-violence, self-
less service, compassion and hu-
mility. With that, we live the life
that God wishes for us.
When we invert our attention
through the process of meditation
that we realize our true nature and
experience God’s love. When we ex-
perience God’s love we can share
this love and transcend all bound-
aries we become a true human.
