“Sangh workers al-

while the Congress is
nothing more than a

Honouring terrorists
and cursing patriots is
the reason for the Con-

spect because his party

ing a “fascist”.

his entire five years
were spent in the fight

provement Trusts, Mu-

nicipal Corporations
and Municipalities will
be able to do land con-
version of more than 10
thousand square me-
ters of land.

riwal.
Till now, cases of
land more than 10000
square meters had to be
sent for approval to the
state government. Now
the local bodies will be
able to do conversion
which will save time.
For this, committees
have been formed at the
body level.
Commissioners will
head the committee in

thority while the secre-
tary will be the mem-
ber secretary. Director
planning and Director
law have been made

In UITs, the chair-
man will head the com-
mittee and the UIT sec-

IPL 2023 moves to its final phase
with barely a fortnight remain-
ing in the competition, the fight
for the top 4 spots has intensi-
fied even more. Till now, no team
has sealed its berth for the play-
offs, though, at the time of writ-
ing, Gujarat Titans are at the top
of the points table and are going
head on with the newly charged
Mumbai Indians. If Gujarat
wins, it will make it the first
team to qualify for the knock-
outs and with all 10 teams, in-
cluding Delhi Capitals after
their loss to Chennai Super
Kings, still in fray for the play-
offs, we look at the various qual-
ification scenarios for each
team.
ABOUT THE GAME
While this season of IPL has
seen some amazing power hit-
ting and a string of 200 plus
team totals, it is the team that
has 2 bowlers in the top 3 that is
leading the points table. Rashid
Khan and Mohammed Shami
have contributed immensely to
Gujarat Titans’ spirited defense
of their title this year. Their 8
wins out of 11 matches means
they need just a win in the next
3 matches to enter the playoff
comfortably but should they
lose all their remaining games,
they might slip to the 4th spot
and then, only a net run rate will
decide their future progress.
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS
Chennai Super Kings is at the
second spot in the points tally
and have turned the tables
around since the last season.
They were at the 9th position in
the 2022 season, but are now just
one win away from qualifying
for the playoffs. They have 15
points from 12 games and have
been led excellently by their leg-
endary captain – MS Dhoni. His
attacking stint at the lower or-
der has been pivotal for Chen-
nai’s success this year and the
team will look to add another
IPL trophy in its cabinet in what
could be Dhoni’s final IPL of his
playing career.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
After a terrific start, Rajasthan
Royals have stumbled their way
and lost 3 matches in succes-
sion before their big win
against Kolkata Knight Riders
on Thursday. Their Knight-in-
shining-armour Yashasvi
Jaiswal missed a century
against Kolkata but he will be
hoping to top the batting charts
this season and thereby help
his side into the knockout
round. Rajasthan is currently
at number three on the points
table and 2 wins in their next 2
matches against Royal Chal-
lengers Bangalore and Punjab
Kings will see them through to
the next stage.
MUMBAI INDIANS
Next on the points table is Mum-
bai Indians who have stormed
into the top 4 from bottom half
of the table. Although Rohit
Sharma is yet to hit form, MI are
peaking at the right time and
must be hoping for the ‘law of
averages’ to turn in Rohit’s fa-
vor especially with the crucial
matches ahead. Since they have
12 points from 11 games, 3 con-
secutive wins could make them
qualify in the top 2. However,
even 2 wins in the next 3 games
can easily carry them to the
playoffs stage.
LAST YEAR’S
TOP 4 TEAMS
Among last year’s top 4 teams
after the league matches, Luc-
know began well this year too
but injury to their captain KL
Rahul has derailed their cam-
paign to an extent. Mumbai’s
win against Bangalore saw Luc-
know slip from to number 5 in
the points table and they now
have an arduous task of win-
ning all their remaining match-
es to make it to the knockouts.
What is heartening is that their
net run rate is currently supe-
rior to Mumbai Indians.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS
BANGALORE
Even with a purple cap holder in
the ranks, Royal Challengers
Bangalore has failed to create
magic and have 10 points with 3
matches to go. Even with wins
in all remaining matches, the
sixth placed RR might require a
strong net run rate to qualify for
the playoffs especially as they
have tough duels ahead in away
games against Gujarat, Hy-
derabad and Rajasthan.
LAST 4 TEAMS ON
POINTS TABLE
The situation gets complicated
for the last 4 teams on the points
table. Kolkata, Punjab, Hy-
derabad and Delhi are in 7th, 8th
,9th and 10th position respec-
tively
. All of them have to win all
their games and also make sure
that they push their net run
rates higher. Amidst them, Pun-
jab Kings have the brightest
chance to make the playoffs
though Delhi Capitals is in with
a chance technically but these
teams have to hope for other
teams’ results to go their way
too. Whoever it might be in the
final 4 but this season has al-
ready lived up to fans’ expecta-
tions and they will hope the last
flourish is a cherry on top for
everyone!

‘Kashmir Files’. Keshav
Prasad Maurya said,
“This movie must be
shown in all parts of
the country. This is In-
dia’s govt under the
leadership of PM Modi,
therefore we’re getting
to watch movies like
The Kerala Story, and
Kashmir Files. If it
would have been Con-
gress government, they
would have given away
Kashmir to Pakistan by
playing appeasement
politics”.

ie (The Kerala Story) in
West Bengal must be
revoked and in the fu-
ture, the truth regard-
ing West Bengal will

Washington (PTI): The United States will continue to
monitor the situation in Pakistan, the Biden Administration
said, maintaining that it does not have a position on one
candidate or the other. His comments came in the wake of
the arrest of former Pakistan PM Imran Khan, which led to
violent protests across the main cities of the country and
the calling of the army to contain the unruly supporters.
“We continue to monitor the situation in Pakistan closely,
and as the US has said before, we don’t have a position on
one candidate or one political party versus another. What
our interest is a safe secure, prosperous Pakistan,” State
Department Spokesperson Vedant Patel said.
Islamabad (PTI): Describing former premier Imran Khan
and his party as “liars”, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif on
Friday slammed the Opposition for pushing the cash-
strapped country towards “destruction”. Addressing the
federal Cabinet on a day when Khan appeared before the
Islamabad HC seeking bail, Sharif questioned the courts’
silence over the jailing of leaders of his Pakistan Muslim
League-Nawaz (PML-N) party during Khan’s tenure. “Did
they [the courts] ever take notice when we were being sent
to jail?” he asked. The prime minister termed the Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party chief’s claim that a US-backed
conspiracy led to the ouster of his government as “untrue”.

and asked what an-
nouncement has been
made for Alwar. Then
the voice came from the

that, he said, “I make

ing, but I will not get
tired of giving.”

TOMBOY FASHION EMPOWERS WOMEN TO
EXPRESS THEMSELVES AUTHENTICALLY AND
CHALLENGES SOCIETAL NORMS AND GENDER
STEREOTYPES. CITY FIRST BRINGS TO YOU
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE TREND THROUGH
WHICH YOU CAN STAY AHEAD OF THE
FASHION CURVE WHILE EMBRACING THIS
VERSATILE AND PRACTICAL STYLE!
omboyfashionis
a style that has
been gaining
popularity in re-
cent years,
breaking away
from traditional
feminine aesthetics and
embracingamoregen-
der-neutral ap-
proach to fashion.
The tomboy style
is all about com-
fort, practicali-
tyandarelaxed
attitude. It’s
about dressing
for yourself,
rather than for
anyone else and
feeling confi-
dent and empowered in
what you wear. One of the
key elements of tomboy
fashion is the use of mascu-
line clothing pieces, such as
oversized blazers, boxy t-
shirts, and slouchy jeans.
These pieces are often
paired with more feminine
accessories,suchasdelicate
jewellery or statement
shoes, to create a balanced
and unique look. The con-
trast between masculine
and feminine elements cre-
ates a strong and edgy aes-
thetic, while also allowing
for versatility and individu-
al expression. Another im-
portant aspect of tomboy
fashion is the emphasis on
functionality
. Tomboy style
is all about practicality and
comfort, so clothing is often
designed with a purpose in
mind. For example, cargo
pantswithmultiplepockets,
orsturdybootsthatarecom-
fortableforall-daywear.The
focus on functionality al-
lows for a seamless transi-
tion between work and play
,
and encourages the wearer
tofeelconfidentandcapable
in any situation. One of the
most empowering aspects
of tomboy fashion is the
way it challenges tradition-
al gender roles and stereo-
types. By breaking away
from the notion that women
must always dress in a femi-
nine and delicate way
, tom-
boy fashion creates a space
for self-expression and indi-
viduality
.
It allows women to em-
brace their own unique
style and personality
, with-
out conforming to societal
expectations. Overall, tom-
boy fashion is a style that is
both practical and empow-
ering. It offers women the
opportunity to express
themselves in a way that
feels authentic and comfort-
able, while also challenging
traditionalgenderrolesand
stereotypes.Whetheryou’re
dressingforacasualdayout
or a professional work envi-
ronment, tomboy fashion is
a versatile and stylish op-
tion that is sure to make a
statement.

s humans, we
are all going to
age, and it’s
something that
is inevitable.
Many people as-
sociate ageing
with negative thoughts
and feelings, such as a
loss of youthfulness or a
decrease in physical abil-
ities. However, ageing
should not be kept as a
parameter for categoriza-
tion or treated as a sort of
pigeonhole or a label, can
also bring positive chang-
es and opportunities that
we might not have had
earlier in life. Ageing
with grace and zing is
about embracing the pro-
cess of getting older and
making the most of the
experiences that come
with it rather than tend-
ing to lose our zeal to live
life to the fullest. Though
many elderly people in
our surroundings
tend to get more
complacent and
comfortable with
life; however, that is
not the case with
many more such ex-
emplary spirits who
are inspirational for
all and sundry
.
Ageingisanatural
process, and it is es-
sential that we em-
brace it gracefully
.
However, societal
norms and expecta-
tions make it even
more challenging for
women to age with digni-
tyanddynamism.Women
are often judged based on
their appearance, and so-
cietal pressures force
them to hide their age or
even go through cosmetic
procedures to maintain
their youth. But, nowa-
days many Indian women
crossing or already
crossed the borderline of
fifty refuse to conform to
these norms. These evan-
gelist women are an ex-
quisite example of ageing
with grace, dignity, and
positivity, indulging in
various activities and
dealingwithseveralother
issues.
Embracing their age
and continuing to live
their lives to the fullest,
these women exude con-
fidence and happiness.
They have not let age
hold them back and are
indulging in various ac-
tivities like outdoor
sports, travelling, writ-
ing, dancing, trekking,
learning new skills, and
engaging themselves in
social work. Here are a
few examples of such
women. Beena Sarwar is
a journalist, artist, me-
dia trainer and docu-
mentary filmmaker.
She runs Sapan News
Network to anchor the
higher goal of ensuring
peace and solidarity in
South Asia, bringing
many journalists and
writers to the platform
from several countries.
Yasmin Sait is an au-
thor who has three dec-
ades of experience in the
retail and entertainment
industry, embarked on a
journey at this phase of
life as an author writing
her first book 'Manan'
which is a torchbearer for
exploring selves. Her
smiling and bubbly face
gives energy to many
youngsters and direction
to delve deeper into their
own selves. Lines of the
novel 'Winter' by Scottish
author, Ali Smith “you
never stop being yourself
on the inside, whatever
age people think you are
by looking at you from the
outside,” ipso facto fits
here on Yasmin’s person-
alitywhenshehascrossed
the boundary line of sixty
and the kind of lesson for
finding life purpose, she
yearns and exerts to de-
liver and proffer through
the journeys of nine such
fifty-five plus women
from different fields and
professions and their an-
ecdotes which she has
craftilywoveninherbook
Manan for inspiring
many more lives.
Yasmin talks about the
relevance of her book
Manan for women, who
go through a myriad of
changes, biological, emo-
tional, economic and in
role plays during their
journey of life. Though
we all know that women
have to face several is-
sues in their lives from
childhood till the end of
their subsistence in-
cluding hormonal
changes, the incep-
tion of the men-
struation cycle,
motherhood
and its responsibilities.
Moreover, women have
to deal with other issues
like menopause, health
issues, and societal per-
ceptions. Menopause is a
biological process that
happens to every woman,
and it is often looked
down upon, but many
women including social
workers, academicians
and doctors are spread-
ing awareness about
menopause, self-care, and
the importance of seek-
ing medical help and sup-
port in this phase of life.
The women also deal
with health issues that
come with age, such as ar-
thritis,diabetes,andosteo-
porosis,withsupportfrom
family and friends. They
are taking precautions to
maintainahealthyandac-
tive lifestyle to keep these
health issues at bay
. They
are also proactive in seek-
ing medical help and ad-
vice to manage their
health issues.
Another issue that 50-
plus Indian women are
dealing with is societal
perceptions. Society often
perceives ageing women
as someone who are past
their prime, and their
opinions and contribu-
tions are not valued. How-
ever, these women are
breaking stereotypes and
showing that age is just a
number. They are actively
engaging in social work,
contributing to society,
and giving back to the
community
. To add, Yas-
min says that positive re-
inforcement and transfor-
mation while ageing is
something which is pos-
sible only when such ex-
ercises are periodically
carried out, at each cross-
roadof lifelikeindulging
yourself in fruitful hob-
bies or social activities
keeping your mental and
physicalhealthatpriority
are inculcated timely
.
Ageing with grace and
activeness is about em-
bracing the changes that
come with getting older
and making the most of
what life has to offer. This
means focusing on physi-
cal, social, and emotional
wellbeing, and embrac-
ing new experiences and
opportunities. By keep-
ing an open mind and
maintaining a positive
outlook, we can age with
graceanddynamism,and
enjoy a rich and fulfilling
life at any age.
The zeal and enthusi-
asm of a 67 years old re-
tired government school
lecturer from Rajasthan,
Smt. Santosh Kumari is
extraordinarily exuber-
ant. In a conversation
with her, she shared her
worries that the youth of
the nation is ironically
indulging in the wrong
usage of electronic de-
vices and social media
which is injurious to
their physical and men-
tal growth. She gives a
message for the youth to
keep on doing 'Kar-
ma' without be-
ing halted and
to be ebullient,
impassioned
and effervescent to fulfil
their lives goals.
Another name to
quote, Neeru Saini from
Chandigarh is a fitness
freak, motivator, travel-
ler, trekker, biker, dancer,
and science teacher.
Watching her dance vid-
eos and lively shots of the
trekking spirit on Insta-
gram where she dances
with 3/4 of her age boys
and mesmerizes with her
performances at the age
of 58. Therefore, these il-
lustrative Indian women
are role models for every-
one on how to age with
grace, positivity, and dig-
nity. They are showing
that age is just a number,
and it is never too late to
learn new skills, travel,
engage in social
work, and maintain
an active lifestyle.
These women are
breaking stereo-
types and societal
perceptions, and
they are an inspira-
tion to all and di-
rectly or indirectly
teach us what to do
when we grow old.
Staying active is
one of the key ele-
ments of ageing
with elegance and
strength hence
physical activity
can help with maintain-
ing strength and flexibil-
ity in the body, and can
also contribute to mental
wellbeing. Engaging in
exercise and other physi-
cal activities can have a
significant impact on re-
ducing the risk of devel-
oping certain health con-
ditions, such as heart
disease or diabetes. In ad-
dition to physical activity
,
it's important to maintain
a healthy and balanced
diet. Eating a nutrient-
rich diet that is high in
fruits, vegetables, and
lean proteins can help
support a healthy body
.
Another essential part
of ageing gracefully and
dynamically is maintain-
ing social connections.
Maintaining relation-
ships with friends and
family members can pro-
vide emotional support
and prevent feelings of
loneliness or isolation. Fi-
nally, when it comes to
ageing with grace and dy-
namism, it's important to
understand that it's not
just about physical health
but emotional and mental
health as well. Maintain-
ing a positive mindset,
engaging in activities
that bring joy
, and taking
time to self-reflect can
help maintain a healthy
emotional state. Mindful-
ness practices, such as
meditationordeepbreath-
ing, can help reduce feel-
ings of stress and anxiety
