The EC wrote to central government: “In a situation where the contribution received through electoral

bonds are not reported, on perusal of the contribution report of political parties, it cannot be ascertained

whether the political party has taken any donation in violation of provision under Section 29(b) of the RP Act which prohibits the political parties from taking

donations from government companies and foreign sources.”

In SCO - PM Narendra Modi’s message to China and Pakistan

“Connectivity with SCO countries is India’s priority and we totally support it. For the success and approval of the

connectivity initiatives and proposals, sovereignty and territorial integrity should be respected and inclusivity and

sustainability is essential,” said Prime minister Modi in the presence of Chinese Premier Xi Jinping. “Terrorism is

one of the biggest violators of human rights and values. So, coordination between SCO countries is an important part on the fight against terrorism and extremism. I have

full faith that India’s cooperation with SCO will give a new direction and energy in the fight against terrorism,” he

said, with Sharif and Aziz listening attentively.

Air India to be privatised

The Central government is mulling for the privitisation of the national carrier ‘Air India’. The Tata group is open to purchasing stake in Air India, which JRD Tata launched in 1932. If the talks fructify, the national carrier’s history may come full circle. The Tata group is believed to have held preliminary discussions with the senior government officials for participating in the privatisation process. It is not known whether the talks were held at the behest of the government or the Tata group.

Lashkar commander Junaid Mattoo killed

Lashkar commander Junaid Mattu, Nisar Ahmed and a third militant were gunned down in a joint operation involving the Indian Army, Special Operations Group (SOG) and the CRPF.

While this encounter took place, militants in another part of the state has laid an ambush and killed six policemen, including a Station House Officer (SHO) of the Achabal police station.

India-China standoff

Face-offs between Chinese and Indian troops over the road construction on the borders of a 269-sq km plateau in Bhutan claimed by China has sparked off the worst crisis in relations between New Delhi and Beijing. “Even though India has long had a presence along the Bhutan-China border, it has never acted in defence of its ally’s interests. The Chinese are very upset by the Indian assertion and are seeking to push back against what they see as a line having been crossed,” a senior Indian official said.

Puandum is one of the most important handlooms of the Mizos. These are made from cotton and are handmade. This traditional hand-woven cloth called ‘Puandum’ is wrapped over the shoulders while performing ‘Khuallam’, one of the famous traditional dances of the Mizos.

Previously, these were all hand woven but nowadays these are mostly machine made. They are made from cotton and the colors are made by a thing called ‘Ting’. Along with this, a blouse which is of the same pattern is usually worn. Ngotekherh is worn in all festivals such as ‘Chapchar Kut’, ‘Mim Kut’ and ‘Pawl Kut’. The colours used in this cloth are black and white. These are also hand-woven and are made of cotton. The black

Mizoram has rich and colourful range of handlooms. Of all these the ‘Puan’ occupies a place of pride in a Mizo lady’s wardrobe. A Mizo lady is more fond of

her “Puan” than any of her other dresses as the Puan consists of a colorful and breathtaking display of

intricate designs. ‘Puanchei’, this is one of the most beautiful dresses worn by the Mizo girls. This is worn on occasions such as weddings and festivals such as

‘Chapchar Kut’ and ‘Pawl Kut’.

A Puandum consists of black, red, yellow and green stripes. Puandum is an indispensable item which every girl has to take along with her when she gets married. It is used to cover her husband’s body when he dies. This is an integral part of the Mizo marriage and failure to bring the cloth entails punishment leading to a reduction in the bride price.

Hnika is also worn on the various festivals. It is one of the finest handlooms of the Mizos. It is made from silk and cotton and were all hand-woven in the olden days, but nowadays they are all machine-made. It has its origin among the Pawi tribe. It is equivalent to the ‘Puanchei’ cloth among the Pawi tribe. They wear it while performing the various dances such as Cheraw and Sarlamkai during the ‘Kut’ festivals. Hmaram is also known as ‘Kawkpui zikzial’ and are mostly

worn by the children and girls. They are worn on the occasions such as ‘Chawn Day’, ‘Chhawnghnawh Day’ and ‘Chapchar Kut’.

It is one of the most beautiful blouses worn by the girls. Like other clothes they are hand-woven and are made from cotton.

These are usually worn along with ‘Puanchei’ and while performing the various dances of the Mizos. Taking home a water-proof Mizo hat (Khumbeu) made with bamboo and leaves, as a souvenir of Mizoram, is a must.

bride’s parents then make them seated on cots. After that the bride’s father places his daughter’s hand over the hand of the groom and urges him to be faithful, loving and loyal to the bride.

It takes a few hours for fermentation after which the Pachwai can be consumed.

INDIAN DIASPORA CULTURE


Tamang

Ethnic tribes

T

The Tamang or Murmi, are the indigenous inhabitants of the

Himalayan regions of Nepal and India, their ancestral land is called Tamsaling. They are the aborigines of Yambu, or Kathmandu Valley,

who had self-rule and autonomous and were systematically displaced

during the expansion period of Gorkha Kingdom. The traditionally

Buddhist Tamang are the largest Tibeto-Burman ethnic group within

Nepal.

Tamang are also a significant minority in Sikkim and Darjeeling District of West Bengal of India as permanent settlers their languages are fifth most spoken in Nepal. They were one of the aborigines who were least affected by Nepalisation. Peculiar to Tamang people have complex marriage restrictions within the community.

The religion is considered by Tamangs as Bon Lamaism, distinct and predating Tibetan Buddhism, and due to geopolitical focus on Tibet, Tamangs hold their beliefs and are largely ignored by Western scholars. Tamang have gompas (monasteries) in every sizeable village. Every family has their

special Buddhist god and book to worship every morning.

The Tamangs retain jhankris (shamans) in addition to their Lama clan (Tamang) (priests), the latter whose surnames are also Lama. Additionally there exists the honorific term Lama, assigned to all Tamang regardless of kinship clan (swagen bhai). This is not to be confused with Lama of Tibet or the Sherpa Lama surname and clan. These jhankris perform certain rites such as trances and sacrifices to alleviate problems or assure good fortune.

Tamangs have a system of six types of societal leaders: Tamba, Ganba, Bonbo, Labonbo, Lama and Choho — to keep the Tamang society continuously alive and dynamic. They have their

respective and important roles to play in the development of the society. Their priests or lamas, have a dominant role in the community and perform ceremonies for funerals, etc. Perhaps the most powerful person in society, is the shaman, who exorcises demons and interacts with the spirit world.

Flags colourfully printed by Buddhist mantra, holy words and clothes are put in different places in the village. Tamang have a dance called “ Tamang Selo “ that is performed with the Damphoo instrument, also known as Damphoo Dance, having a brisk movement and rhythmic beat peculiar to Tamangs. Dashain is also approached with much enthusiasm by Tamangs.

Most Tamangs are farmers, engaged in agriculture. Due to the lack of irrigation at higher altitudes, their crops are often

limited to corn, millet, wheat, barley, and potatoes. They often supplement their farming income with manual labour. Due to the discrimination experienced by the Tamang people in the past, they have remained on the whole poorly educated and the majority have been limited to working in farming, mountain trekking, portering and driving.

They also work in construction of Tibetan rugs, Thankas (Tibetan painting), driving, labour and trekking. As far as farming is concerned, Tamang are dependent on rainfall and do not employ modern machinery. Tamangs serves as brave Gurkha soldiers in British gurkha army, Singapore police, Indian army and police and Nepalese army and police.

Prime Minister's

3 nation tourPrime Minister Narendra Modi arrived

to Portugal on the first leg of his three-nation tour during which he had held talks with his Portuguese

counterpart Antonio Costa to boost bilateral ties.

“Ola Portugal. PM @narendramodi arrives in Lisbon, departing from protocol foreign minister Augusto Santos Silva receives the prime minister,” external affairs ministry spokesperson Gopal Baglay tweeted.

Modi had said during his meeting with Costa, that the two leaders will build on their recent discussions and review the progress of various joint initiatives and decisions.

Portuguese prime minister Costa tweeted this is an excellent opportunity to review the implementation of the accords

agreed during his India visit and sign new agreements.

The highlight of Modi’s four-day three-nation visit will be the US leg as Modi was the meeting with the President Donald Trump for the first time on 26 June in Washington.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s bear hugs with US President Donald Trump were indicative of positive vibes. That the meetings went beyond get-to-know one another exercise was an achievement in itself.

Trump has said on Prime Minister Modi is “a great Prime Minister” and a “true friend” for Modi. While Modi was on way to Washington from Lisbon, Trump used the words “true friend” and repeated it at the White House.

time with and know each other and establish a warm, comfortable and respectful working relationship with each other. They exuded easy camaraderie and bonhomie with each other. The body language was reassuring and encouraging.

The biggest takeaway in substantive terms was the stern language against Pakistan and the designation of Syed Salahuddin, the ‘supreme commander’ of Kashmiri militant outfit Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, as a ‘Specially Designated Global Terrorist’ because of his pronouncements to wreak havoc in Kashmir and make it a graveyard for Indian forces. This is a slap on the face of Pakistan.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi ended his three-nation tour with Netherlands as its final destination. In Netherlands, PM Modi held talks with his counterpart Mark Rutte at the latter’s official residence of Catshuis in Amsterdam. Addressing a joint press meet with Mr Rutte, PM Modi reaffirmed Netherlands’ status as an important partner in India’s economic development.

STORY FOR KIDS


Nakula and Sahadev. These five children were the Pandava brothers.

Eventually, Pandu attempted to have sex with Madri and immediately died from the curse. Madri killed herself in the funeral pyre, but Kunti lived on to care for the children. She and her sons moved into the palace of Dhritarastra, provoking scorn and jealousy among the hundred Kauravas. Her son Bhima caused problems with the other children, because he was a bully. In retaliation, the Kaurava brothers once tied him up and threw him in the ocean, but Bhima returned with added siddhis (yogic powers), annoying them all the more.

At this time Grandfather Bhisma enrolled the Pandava and Kaurava brothers in archery training under the renowned archer, Drona. At the end of their lessons, Arjuna ranked first place in Drona’s tests

and this was another factor to incite jealousy in the Kauravas. As a final request to his students (guru-dakshine), Drona asked them to arrest a neighboring king, Drupada, and bring him there for justice. The Kauravas failed, but Arjuna succeeded, increasing the Pandava’s status.

When their training as princes ended, Dhritarashtra acknowledged Yudhistira, Kunti’s eldest son, as the heir-apparent to the throne. Dhritarastra’s move was an indirect insult to his eldest son, Duryodhana, whom he considered a buffoon. This angered the Kauravas, moving the family deeper into conflict that would eventually erupt in a devastating war, which was the basis of the most fundamental stories Mahabharata and Bhagavad-gita.

Krishna was also Kunti’s nephew, because her brother, Vasudeva, was Krishna’s father. Kunti grew up away from her family, in the palace of Kuntibhoja, her cousin. When she was a child, Kunti had pleased the powerful sage Durvasa Muni, who gave her a mantra that would allow her to conceive five sons from the demigods. She tested the mantra and the sun god gave her Karna, whom she secretly set afloat in a river. Karna grew up to become a great warrior for the Kauravas, and Kunti later revealed that she was his real mother.

When Kunti married Pandu she used the mantra to have three more sons: Yudhistira, Bhima, and Arjuna. Pandu was cursed to die if he ever tried to have sex with his wives, so he was glad Kunti could obtain sons from the demigods. He asked her to give the last chance to his other wife Madri, who subsequently had twins,

In the time of Krishna, the blind King Dhritarastra headed the lunar dynasty in Hastinapur. His wife, Queen Gandhari, had one hundred sons called the Kauravas, the eldest of whom

was Duryodhana. Also in the royal palace were Grandfather Bhisma, the king’s uncle and Queen Kunti and her five sons. Kunti’s late husband, Pandu, was King Dhritarastra’s brother, so

the Kauravas were her nephews.

SuccessfuLhealthy living

Successfully fit people are successful not because of good luck, birth order or family heritage, but because

they have adopted the right habits. People suggest that by emulating the habits of successful people,

anyone can enjoy the life he or she desires. Learn the habits, adopt the habits, practice the habits, enjoy the

success.

HEALTHY LIVING


Here are some tips to have a successful healthy living:Stick to the Same “Daily Menu”: It allows “careful” eaters to predict their daily calorie allotment. The most fit among us are entrenched in habit, including the habit of taste. Effortlessly fit folks are in tune with the energy and calorie needs of their bodies.

Eat Breakfast: People who successfully lose weight are the ones that wake up and eat. People who eat breakfast regularly have better vitamin and mineral status and eat fewer calories from fat. The

majority of the people who struggle with overeating are those who under-eat during the first part of the day, specifically those who skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Drink Water: Drinking enough water is a vital part of any conditioning program because it keeps your body functioning in homeostasis and aids every aspect of bodily function.

Eat Small And Often: Eating small meals more often reduces cortisol levels. When you eat small, frequent meals long term, the body becomes efficient at keeping cortisol levels low, which helps both men and women reduce belly fat.

Eat Whole Foods First: Successfully fit people tend to eat mainly whole, unprocessed foods, including fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Eating mostly low-density foods is the easiest way to keep your weight in check without feeling hungry.

People suggest that by emulating the habits of successful people, anyone can enjoy the life he or

she desires. Learn the habits, adopt the habits, practice the habits,

enjoy the success.

2 Sikh MPs add to record Indian set

in House of CommonsBritain’s Sikh community is delighted over the election of Preet

Kaur Gill – the first Sikh woman MP – and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi – the first turban-wearing Sikh MP – whose presence in the House of Commons increases the Indian-origin group from

10 to a record 12. The dozen include seven from the Labour Party and five from the Conservative Party.

All 10 Indian-origin lawmakers in the previous Parliament were expectedly retained their seats, with Dhesi (Slough) and Gill (Birmingham Edbaston) – both Labour – taking forward the “Indian” participation in

British politics that began with Dadabhai Naoroji being elected in Finsbury Central in 1892.

Jasdev Singh Rai of the British Sikh Consultative Forum said that, “I think

they (Dhesi and Gill) will have the same visible impact that Manmohan Singh had in raising the profile of the Sikhs in the world. They understand current issues and are very articulate.”

“We can say the Sikhs have finally arrived on Britain’s political scene. For too long, political parties have taken Sikhs for granted. We will now have a voice in Parliament. The two are well respected within the community, are in touch with gurdwaras sangats, Sikh youth and also know the issues of 1984 in depth,” he added.

Sunder Katwala, director of the think tank British Future, said: “The 2017 Parliament will be the most diverse ever, with 10 new ethnic minority MPs taking the total of non-white parliamentarians to

51. Thirty years on, that tells a positive story about integration since the breakthrough election of 1987.”

“The Conservatives had hoped to build on progress made under David Cameron and even to edge ahead of Labour on minority representation. But instead they are once again left behind, after a disappointing night for Theresa May and a failure to select enough candidates from the black and ethnic minority communities”

“Muslims in the United States joined those around the world during the holy month of Ramadan to focus on acts of faith and charity,” they said. “Now, as they commemorate Eid with family and friends, they carry on the tradition of helping

neighbors and breaking bread with people from all walks of life.”

Thomas Jefferson held the first White House dinner with a Muslim while hosting Sidi Soliman Mellimelli, an envoy of Beylik of Tunis, on December

For the first time in the nearly two decades, the White House did not host an iftar dinner to commemorate Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. Instead,

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania released a statement wishing “warm greetings” to those

celebrating Eid al-Fitr, an important holiday marking the end of Ramadan.

Trump breaks an annual tradition upheld by the past three administrations, by not hosting a dinner . The dinners began under President Bill Clinton and were continued by both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. They were typically attended by prominent members of the Muslim community as well as members of Congress and diplomats from Muslim countries.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also broke with

decades of tradition by rejecting a request by the State Department’s Office of Religion and Global Affairs to host a reception marking Eid al-Fitr, according to two administration officials familiar with the decision.

Since 1999, Tillerson’s five Republican and Democratic predecessors have hosted either an iftar dinner to break the fast during Ramadan or an Eid al-Fitr reception at the end of the monthlong holiday. Many diplomatic posts overseas also host events during the Ramadan month of fasting and prayer.

The President have a fraught relationship with the Muslim community in the United

States. Many criticized his campaign trail calls for the surveillance of mosques as Islamophobic. In the White House, Trump has attempted to ban travel to the US from several Muslim-majority countries. However, during his first trip abroad, Trump attempted to bridge that divide, delivering a speech to the leaders of 55 Muslim-majority countries calling for unity in the fight against terrorism.

The money officially held by Indians with banks in Switzerland now accounts for a meagre 0.04 per cent of the total funds kept by all foreign clients in the Swiss banking system, as per an analysis of the latest figures compiled by the SNB (Swiss National Bank) as on 2016-end.

India was placed at 75th position in 2015 and at 61st in the year before that, though it used to be among top-50 countries in terms of holdings in Swiss banks till 2007. The country was ranked highest at 37th place in the year 2004.

The latest data from Zurich-based SNB comes ahead of a new framework for automatic exchange of information between Switzerland and India to help check the black money menace.

There is a view that the Indians are alleged to have parked their illicit money in Swiss banks in the past may have shifted the funds to other locations after a global clampdown began on the mighty banking secrecy practices in Switzerland. Swiss banks have said that Indians have “few deposits”

in Swiss banks compared to other global financial hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong amid stepped-up efforts to check the black money menace.

In terms of individual countries, the UK accounted for the largest chunk at about CHF 359 (over 25 percent) of the total foreign money with Swiss banks. The US came second with nearly CHF 177 billion or about 14 percent. No other country accounted for a double-digit percentage share, while others in the top-ten included West

INFOCUS

Indian presidential election will be held in India on 17 July 2017 and counting will be done on 20 July 2017, five days before the incumbent President’s term expires. The

incumbent is eligible for re-election, as no term limits exist in India, but both ruling and opposition group were not ready to renominate the present President Pranab Mukherjee as

their candidate.


Ram Nath Kovind, the Governor of Bihar, was announced as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led NDA’s candidate for the post of President of India by BJP president Amit Shah on 19 June 2017. Kovind is a leader and a politician from the BJP. Kovind filed his nomination for the election on 23 June 2017.

Ram Prasad Bismil was a revolutionary freedom fighter who participated in the

Mainpuri conspiracy of 1918 and the Kakori conspiracy of 1925 and struggled against the British imperialism. He was a patriotic poet and wrote in Hindi and Urdu using the pen

names Ram, Agyat and Bismil.

Ram Prasad Bismila revolutionary

HHe became popular with the last name “Bismil”. He was associated with Arya Samaj where he got inspiration from ‘Satyarth Prakash’, a book written by Swami Dayanand Saraswati. He was having a confidential connection with Lala Har Dayal through his guru Swami Somdev, a preacher of Arya Samaj.

Bismil was one of the founding members of the revolutionary organisation Hindustan Republican

FREEDOM FIGHTER

Association. Bhagat Singh praised him as a great poet-writer in Urdu and Hindi, who had also translated the books Catherine from English and Bolshevikon Ki Kartoot from Bengali.

Ram Prasad Bismil, was a Tomar Rajput and was born on 12 June 1897 at Shahjahanpur, in North-Western Provinces, of British India. He learnt Hindi from his father at home and was sent to learn Urdu from a moulvi. He was admitted to an English-language school, despite his

FREEDOM FIGHTER


father’s disapproval and also had joined the Arya Samaj in Shahjahanpur.

As an 18-year-old student, Bismil read of the death sentence passed on Bhai Parmanand, a scholar and companion of Har Dayal. At that time he was regularly attending the Arya Samaj Temple at Shahjahanpur daily, where Swami Somdev, a friend of Paramanand, was staying. Angered by the sentence, Bismil composed a poem in Hindi titled Mera Janm, which he showed to Somdev. This poem demonstrated a commitment to remove the British control over India.

On 28 January 1918, Bismil published a pamphlet titled Deshvasiyon Ke Nam Sandesh (A Message to

Countrymen), which he distributed along with his poem Mainpuri Ki Pratigya (Vow of Mainpuri). To collect funds for the party looting was undertaken on three occasions in 1918. The incident is known as the “Mainpuri Conspiracy”. On 1 November 1919 the Judiciary Magistrate of Mainpuri B. S. Chris announced the judgement against all accused and declared Dixit and Bismil as absconders.

In 1921, Bismil played an active role in the Congress with Maulana Hasrat Mohani and got the most debated proposal of Poorna Swaraj passed in the General Body meeting of Congress. Mohandas K. Gandhi, was not in the favour of this proposal.

In February 1922 some agitating farmers were killed in Chauri Chaura by the police. The police station of Chauri Chaura was attacked by the people and 22 policemen were burnt alive. Gandhi, without ascertaining the facts behind this incident, declared an immediate stop the non-co-operation movement. Bismil and his group of youths strongly opposed Gandhi in the Gaya session of Indian National Congress (1922). Gandhi refused to

rescind his decision and then president Chittranjan Das resigned and the Indian National Congress was divided into two groups – the Naram Dal and the Garam Dal. In January 1923, the rich group of party formed a new Swaraj Party under the joint leadership of Moti Lal Nehru and Chittranjan Das and the youth group formed a revolutionary party - Hindustan Republican Association (HRA) under the leadership of Bismil.

Bismil executed a meticulous plan for looting the government treasury carried in a train at Kakori, near Lucknow in U.P. This historical event happened on 9 August 1925 and is known as the Kakori conspiracy. Following 18 months of legal process, Bismil, Ashfaqulla Khan, Roshan Singh and Rajendra Nath Lahiri were sentenced to death. Bismil was hanged on 19 December 1927 at Gorakhpur Jail, Ashfaqulla Khan at the Faizabad Jail and Roshan Singh at Naini Allahabad Jail. Lahiri had been hanged two days earlier at Gonda Jail.

AnantasanaLORD VISHNU POSE

INDIAN YOGA

The side reclining leg lift pose in yoga, is known as the ‘Vishnu pose’ or Anantasana, is a core-balancing pose that concentrates mainly on the pelvic region. Regular practice of this posture helps in toning the abdominal muscles and strengthens and stretches the sides of the body and the

back of the legs.

“ “Bend your right elbow and support your head in your palm.

Slide the elbow away from your torso to stretch the armpit.

Externally rotate your left leg so the toes point toward the ceiling, then bend and draw the knee toward your torso.

Reach across the inside of the leg and take hold of the left big toe with your index and middle fingers.


54How to do

Lie on the floor on your right.

Press actively through your right heel, flex the ankle and use the outside of the foot to stabilize the position.

Stretch your right arm straight out along the floor parallel to your torso so that you create one long line from the heels to your finger tips.

LORD VISHNU POSE

Secure the grip by wrapping the thumb around the two fingers.

On an inhale, extend the leg up toward the ceiling.

The raised leg will likely angle slightly forward, while the top buttock will drop back.

Firm the sacrum against the pelvis; this creates a kind of fulcrum that will help you move the leg slightly

back toward a perpendicular position.

Press actively through both heels.

Stay in the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then release the leg, take a few breaths, and roll over onto your left side.

Repeat for the same length of time.

Benefits:Anantasana helps in toning the abdominal muscles.

It stretches and strengthens the sides of the torso.

It increases the flexibility of the spine and muscles in the legs.

The hamstrings are stretched and strengthened, which increases their efficiency.

It reduces the obesity of the hips and thighs through the stretching action.

It promotes better blood circulation in the leg muscles.

It also helps in the development of the pelvic region.

It helps prevent problems like hernia by toning muscles.

It also helps in improving overall body balance.

Now-a-days teens have become freakouts and are not at all having healthy habits that can provide

healthy lifestyle. Teens feel that they are self sufficient with health, immunity, good habits and

stamina. But when you see around you can see that teens are lacking immunity and are fast falling

prey to diseases.

Their stamina is also lacking due to their unhealthy routines. As a teen, it is important to remember that the healthy habits you adopt now will carry with you throughout the rest of your life. Taking care of your body is important in maintaining good health long-term.

So what should you do:

Exercise: Regular exercise and good eating habits are crucial to your health and well-being. Exercise can include aerobics, flexibility exercises and strength training. It is

important to find an activity or multiple activities you enjoy. Consider sports, weight lifting, aerobics class, swimming, walking or running.

Healthy Eating: Good eating habits are important in maintaining a healthy weight. Eat a variety of foods and remember that it is okay to have an occasional treat. Eating at least five servings of fruits and vegetables each day, eating foods from all the different food groups, choosing healthy snacks, always eating breakfast and avoiding eating just because you are bored are

all the guidance for healthy eating.

Bad Habits: Avoid bad habits -- including tobacco, drug and alcohol use. Tobacco smells bad and affect the people around you and can lead to serious conditions including lung and heart disease. Alcohol impairs your judgment, adds calories to your diet, can destroy relationships and can lead to liver problems. Drugs abuse is dangerous for your mind and body and overdosing on drugs can cause long-term health effects or even death.

Sexual Health: If you have made the decision to have sex as a teenager, make wise decisions regarding your health. To avoid pregnancy and getting a sexually transmitted disease, use protection in the form of condoms, birth control pills, shots, rings and patches, IUDs, diaphragms, spermicide or cervical caps.

Successful family

RelationshipsA successful family can be a source of emotional

support, love, security and protection, which makes the challenges and trials of day-to-day living easier to face. Children flourish when they feel loved, nurtured and supported by their parents and siblings. A good family can even have positive effects on physical and

mental health, including improving blood pressure and increasing life expectancy.

2. Can help to overcome difficulties with children’s eating, sleeping, learning and behaviour

3. Make it easier for the family to solve problems and resolve conflict

4. Help you and your children to respect differences of opinion as your children

develop more independence

5. Give children the skills they need to build healthy relationships of their own.

Make quality time happen in your family:

1. Use everyday time together to talk and share a laugh.

2. Have one-on-one chats with each family member to strengthen individual relationships.


3. Set aside time with your partner and explain to your children that it’s good for your relationship with your partner to have this quality time together.

4. Do regular, fun things together as a family.

5. Make decisions together about what to do for special events like birthdays.

Positive communication ideas to strengthen your family relationships:

Tips for a Successful Teenage Romance

Most teenage relationships are normal and healthy. Once a teenager is in a relationship, it should continue to be enjoyable. They enjoy

being together, they may be each other’s confidante, but you should also see your teenager is continuing to maintain his or her relationships with other friends and still doing the other things they were doing before this romantic relationship, including sports or other interests. In other words, the romance doesn’t interfere with normal life. It’s

an additional, enjoyable part of life.

LOVE & ROMANCE


Here are somethings to be done for a successful

teenage romance

Don’t forget your existing friends: Some people will drop all their friends after they start dating someone. No one wants a friend who will throw her over for someone else, and you still

need a social life outside your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Be your own person: It’s natural to share interests with the person you’re dating, but you also need to keep developing an identity outside of that person, too. It will improve your self-esteem and being confident in yourself makes you more likely to be confident in your relationship.

Don’t run away from problems: If you encounter a problem in your relationship, don’t panic. Problems only get bigger when people hide from them. Talk about it together and try to fix it together. Working through

problems is going to be part of any good relationship.

Know the difference between good and bad conflict: Conflict can even bring a couple closer together if they are able to stick to the rules during a disagreement.

Don’t look squeamish: You may be feeling awkward while talking about romantic relationships to your teen, but do your best to be comfortable during any talks. If you look too worried or negative your teen may be less likely to come to you if they want to talk.

In other words, the romance

doesn’t interfere with normal life. It’s an additional,

enjoyable part of life.

Chanderithe hill town

with its virginityChanderi is located strategically

on the borders of Malwa and Bundelkhand. Chanderi is a

town of historical importance in Ashoknagar District of

Madhya Pradesh state in India. It is situated at a distance of

127 km from Shivpuri, 37 km from Lalitpur, 55 km from Ashok Nagar and about 45

km from Esagarh. Chanderi is surrounded by hills, lakes and

forests and there are several monuments of the Bundela

Rajputs and Malwa sultans. Chanderi finds mention in

Mahabharata. Shishupal was the king of Mahabharata

period.

INDIAN TRAVELOGUE


HistoryHistory of Chanderi goes back to 11th century, when it is dominated by the trade routes of central India and was proximate to the arterial route to the ancient ports of Gujarat as well as to Malwa, Mewar, Central India and Deccan. Consequently, Chanderi became an important military outpost.

Dominating the skyline of this lovely old town is a

vast Mughal fort known as Chanderi fort. Its main gate is known as the “Khooni Darwaza”. Chanderi fort is situated on a hill 71 meter above the town. The fortification walls were constructed mainly by the Muslim rulers of Chanderi. To the southwest of the fort there is a curious gateway called katti-ghatti made through a hill side.

At a distance of 19 km from

present Chanderi town is situated the Buddhi (old) Chanderi. Buddhi Chanderi is situated on the banks of Urvashi river. It is believed that the Chaidnagar mentioned in Puranas is same as Buddhi Chanderi. There is a myth that when Raja Nala left Damayanti asleep in the forests of Narwar, she moved through dense forests and reached Chaidnagar protecting herself from wild animals. The route through forests from Narwar to Chanderi is very short. A number of 9th and 10th century Jain temples are there in Buddhi Chanderi attracting thousands of Jain pilgrims from all over the country.

Chanderi is mentioned by the Persian scholar Alberuni in 1030. Ghiyas ud din

History of Mauryan empire

INDIAN HISTORY

After Alexander went back to Babylon in 324 BC, Chandragupta was able to overthrow the old Aryan

kingdom of Nanda and form a big new empire over all of northern India and into Afghanistan. When people asked him how he had done it, he said that he got the

idea from Alexander.


Chandragupta conquered the Indus valley back from the Greeks and as part of the peace treaty he married the daughter of Seleucus, who had succeeded Alexander.

The Nanda King, Dhanananda, had

by his tyrannical ways created many enemies and one of these, a proud and fiery man of the high Brahmin class whom

he had thoughtlessly insulted in Court, was

to soon enough cause his ruin. This was Chanakya, who, under the pseudonym Kautilya, later wrote

the famous political book ‘Arthashastra’.

An unforgiving opponent, he had vowed not to tie his hair in the customary Brahminical top-

knot until he had avenged his insult.

This didn’t particularly worry Dhanananda, what could a single Brahmin do anyway? He exiled him

from Pataliputra and considered it the end

of the matter.

Travelling in exile through the Vindya mountains afterwards,

Chanakya met Chandragupta

Maurya, a young man who too had deep personal grudges against the Nandas. Chandragupta Maurya’s background is obscure. He was either the son of a Nanda prince and a maid-servant called Mura or came from the Moriya Tribe of Peacock-tamers; the last might explain why the Peacock later on became his principal emblem. Chandragupta’s spirited personality impresssed Chanakya and he decided that he would make a far better King than the oppressive and debauched Dhanananda.

Together they set about provoking the people of Magadha against Dhanananda and as there happened to be many amongst the populace that Dhanananda had offended in some way, it was not long before they had managed to amass a considerable force.

The new Mauryan Army was still numerically inferior to that of Dhanananda, but, under its inspired leaders, lacked neither in courage nor persistence. Which was just as well as success came only after many severe setbacks and also apparently after Chanakya overheard a mother telling her child to eat his hot meal from the sides inwards. Taking hint, the Mauryan Army stopped trying to seize Pataliputra and began attacking first the outlying regions of Magadha instead. The tide turned in their favor now.

By 321 B.C. Chandragupta had succeeded the Nandas and the long reign of the Mauryans had begun. The advent of the Mauryans brought them into conflict next with the Greek General Seleucus I Nicator, who had inherited both Alexander’s Asian holdings and his

Chanakya

Empire-building dreams. These, Chandragupta shattered in 303 B.C. The resulting treaty gave the loser 500 war-elephants and granted to the victorious Changragupta the Seleucid Provinces of Trans-Indus (Afghanistan), Seleucus’s daughter Helen in marriage and the future Court presence of the Seleucid Ambassador Megasthenes. The latter’s fascinating account of his tenure, ‘Indika’, has survived in fragments down the centuries.

Extending from Afghanistan to Bengal to Mysore, the Mauryan Empire became the subcontinent’s first centralized power and also its most extraordinarily well-administered one, guided as it was by the authoritarian State-craft philosophy of

Chanakya’s ‘Arthashastra’. The State owned all the farms, forests, mines and industries, maintained a standing army and efficient spy system, followed a fair strict judicial policy and a free religious one, had trade and diplomatic relations with foreign powers like Egypt, Syria, Rome, Greece, and China, encouraged art and culture and patronized the famous Universities of Taxila and Pataliputra. The citizens, in general, were prosperous and content and remained so for the next 136 years.

Chandragupta was succeeded by his son Bindusara who also proved to be an able ruler and greatly extended the Empire’s boundaries. His successor was Ashoka, who, according to legend, came to the throne after a fratricidal struggle for ascension and seemed initially atleast to be as much of an Empire-builder as his predecessors. However, he changed tracks after a savage war with the Kalinga Empire that took an unprecedented toll of life and property.

Racked with guilt, Ashoka forswore war and adopted the tenets of Buddhism. The most religious person, they say, is the newest convert, and Ashoka was no exception to this. The rest of his reign was spent in taking comprehensive steps to propagate Buddhism throughout the Indian

subcontinent and also abroad. He established tree-lined highways, rest-houses, schools, colleges, even veterinary clinics, gave alms to the poor and the sick and did many other things that he thought would benefit his subjects.

He is considered the greatest of the Mauryan Kings. There was a downside to all this unlimited benevolence though. By choosing Buddhism over warfare and rejecting the practical Arthashastra policies, he unfortunately weakened the kingdom for his descendants, and they, far less capable men, were unable to cope with the disintegrating forces. In 185 B.C., with the murder of the last Emperor, Brihadratha, the Mauryan Empire came to extinct.

Racked with guilt, Ashoka forswore war and adopted the tenets of

Buddhism. The most religious

person, they say, is the newest convert, and

Ashoka was no exception to this.

GSLV Mk III launched

successfullyThe launch of indigenous rocket GSLV Mk III, which is said to be as heavy as 200 adult elephants, on June 5 had paved the way for India’s first manned mission

as it would make ISRO capable of sending humans into space. Currently, only three countries—US, Russia and China—have the capability of launching manned

missions.

TECHNOLOGY

ISRO chairman Kiran Kumar said, “GSLV Mk III could in principle be used for manned mission.” GSLV Mk III, also called Isro’s ‘fat boy’ as it is the country’s heaviest (weighing 640 tonnes) but smallest rocket (43 metre), will have a new and advanced indigenous cryogenic engine to lift it off to the geostationary orbit.

ISRO chairman said, “Until we get the final approval from the government, Isro won’t work on the manned mission. Our key priority is to meet the national demand of providing more number of satellites into orbits in the field of communication, remote sensing and navigation. Therefore, we are focusing on increasing our launch capacities both in lower and geostationary orbits and to make our launches cost-effective.”

About the Launch Vehicle

GSLV Mk III is a three-stage heavy lift launch vehicle developed by ISRO. The vehicle has two solid strap-ons, a core liquid booster and a cryogenic upper stage.

GSLV Mk III is designed to carry 4 ton class of satellites into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) or about 10 tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), which is about twice the capability of GSLV Mk II.

The two strap-on motors of GSLV Mk III are located on either side of its core liquid booster. Designated as ‘S200’, each carries 205 tons of composite solid propellant and their ignition results in vehicle lift -off . S200s function for 140

TECHNOLOGY seconds. During strap-ons functioning phase, the two clustered Vikas liquid Engines of L110 liquid core booster will ignite 114 sec after lift -off to further augment the thrust of the vehicle. These two engines continue to function after the separation of the strap-ons at about 140 seconds after lift -off.

The first experimental flight of LVM3, the LVM3-X/CARE mission lifted off from Sriharikota on December 18, 2014 and successfully tested the atmospheric phase of flight. Crew module Atmospheric Reentry Experiment was also carried out in this flight. The module reentered, deployed its parachutes as planned and splashed down in the Bay of Bengal.

The first developmental flight of GSLV Mk III, the GSLV-Mk III-D1 successfully placed GSAT-19 satellite to a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) on June 05, 2017 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.

Bhagavad GitaChapter 2 Verse 15

INDIAN SPIRITUAL

Sloka:

yam hi na vyathayanty ete purusam purusarsabhasama-duhkha-sukham dhiram so amrtatvaya kalpate


Verse meaning

O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation.

Explanation

Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation. Rather than attempting to adopt a technique or remedy to try to purify the contacts of the senses with the sense objects; one should simply tolerate them as this leads to

prodigious results.

One without attachment to the senses does not grieve. Inside one is equipoised and peaceful. Contrarily by being attached to the physical body everything is influenced by sorrow. The adjective purusa is used when one is not subject to sorrow.

Not by the merely being equipoised and dispelling all sorrow does one become self realised; but this indicates the correct process. When one has relinquished all conceptions of being the physical body one becomes naturally filled with the spiritual attributes that are inherent of the soul.

Lord Krishna explains that one who is performing their natural duty in life which is prescribed in the Vedic scriptures according to their own individual qualifications, without desiring any gratification for their actions; what then can deter this living entity and cause them to deviate irresponsibly.

The spiritually intelligent, living entity, possessing patience, whom remains equal in happiness and unhappiness becomes eligible for immortality, by which life’s highest goal is acquired of ones individual spiritual nature devoid of the imperfections connected with the physical body such as of old age, disease and death.

Much awaited Goods and Services Tax (GST) was rolled in the intervening midnight of 30th June

and 1st July 2017. The ceremony was jointly done by President of India Pranab Mukherjee and Prime

Minister Narendra Modi.

Rolled out

One India One Tax


As the clock hit midnight, President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Narendra Modi pressed the button to mark the beginning of India’s biggest tax reform ever - Goods and Services Tax (GST). The new tax regime embodies the principle of “one nation, one tax, one market” and aims to reunite the economy as one common market.

Addressing the Central Hall of Parliament, PM Modi said GST was the combined effort of different parties and described it as “Good and Simple Tax”. President Pranab Mukherjee spoke of his earlier role as Finance Minister and said the rollout of GST was a moment of “personal satisfaction” to him.

Presdient Pranab Mukherjee congratules GST Council for the unanimity

“I remain confident that GST was a matter of time and that it can be easily passed,” the president says.

“It is remarkable that in the 18 meetings of GST Council so far the decisions have been taken through consensus. I congratulate them,” says the president.

“The Council has pleasantly surprised everyone of us by completing its task on time,” he added.

He also hailed the maturity of the Indian polity.

Story :

Behen Hogi Teri is all about Gattu (Rajkumar Rao) who falls in love with Binny (Shruti Haasan). The duo stay in the same neighbourhood and everyone appeals that the girls in their locality should be treated as their own sisters. In a shocking incident, Gattu proposes to Binny who never accepts him neither rejects him. With number of issues increasing and binny irritating Gattu, things change completely. The rest of Behen Hogi Teri is all about what happens next.

Analysis :

The first half of Behen Hogi Teri has been dencent and engaging with some impressive entertainment throughout. Rajkumar Rao takes many episodes to the next level and some of the interesting scenes make Behen Hogi Teri decent. Most of logics have been well written throughout the first half. The movie looks natural with many colony episodes and many interesting characters coming around. On the whole the first half of Behen Hogi Teri has been convincing.

The second half of Behen Hogi Teri surprisingly makes no impact on the audience. The major plot has been sidelined and Behen Hogi Teri loses the needed grip. After such a decent first half, the second half gets hammered after the plot misses the major logic. After the audience get irritated completely, the film inches towards completion. On the whole the second half of Behen Hogi Teri falls flat.

Final Word:

Behen Hogi Teri is a huge misfire as it lacks an interesting and engaging second half. Though the lead actors excel, that alone cannot save the film from a debacle.

Raabta is the story of Shiv (Sushant Singh Rajput) who moves to Budapest after which he falls for Saira (Kriti Sanon) instantly on the first sight. He finally convinces and by the time Saira falls for Shiv, the third character Zak (Jim Sarbh) who is a liquor baron. He is fond of Saira and is obessed with her after several rejections. It is during this time Saira starts thinking about how her bond with Shiv seems beyond the transcends of time and decades. The rest of Raabta is all about the past and what happens next. Watch the film to know about many interesting facts.

Analysis :

Raabta has some interesting moments and the romantic episodes which will sure impress a set of young audience. But this alone is not enough for a film to end up impressive. Raabta has many poorly written episodes and most of them look fake. Things change within fraction of seconds and the film switches a romantic saga to the deadly Game of Thrones which is something hard to digest. The songs have been decent but the characters have not been linked good. With many flaws, the first half of Raabta tries hard to convince the audience.

At the same time, the second half of Raabta too suffers huge lag because of the poor writing and narration skills. Most of the episodes have been loosely executed and looks outdated. Sushant Singh Rajput seems hyper active in many of the episodes and some of the characters have been utterly wasted. Jim Sarbh has been extremely stupendous on screen but his character has not been written well. With a poor second half, Raabta ends up on a dull note and it completely fails to impress the audience.

Final Word:

Raabta is a film that fails to stand balancing with the cross over love stories. A film that can be given a skip because of its flaws and badly written screenplay.

Things change completely after Bharat joins army and heads for the India – China war. This is during this time, Laxman misses his brother badly and starts his journey for him. The rest of the film is all about the people he meets and bonds during this journey. Watch Tubelight to know if Laxman meets his brother Bharat.

Analysis :

The first half of Tubelight manages to build the characters of the film. The narration has been dead slow that it leaves the audience irritated. Though the film lacks interesting plot, Kabir Khan manages to narrate the film depending on the bonding between two brothers. Salman has been showcased in a never seen dull character which may not be digested by most of the audience and his fans. The first half of Tubelight offers nothing.

The second half which is quite crucial too manages to stand dull and makes no impact all over. The songs look completely outdated and they test the patience of the audience. The unwanted characters kill the film’s flavour completely and Tubelight on the whole fails in all the available ways to impress the audience. With a routine and predictable climax, Tubelight second half is a massive disappointment.

Final Word:

Tubelight is a film that can be given a huge skip as the film fails in all the available ways in keeping the audience engaging. Salman’s characterization pulls down Tubelight by miles.

Analysis :

Duvvada Jagannadham has no interesting plot and Harish Shankar tried out his best to elevate the character of Allu Arjun showcasing him as a Brahmin. Except some interesting episodes, Duvvada Jagannadham looks completely predictable and outdated. The dose of Brahmin accent and the presentation of Allu Arjun irritates the audience to the core.

Some of the catchy dialogues have been repeated number of times that they make no impact on the audience. The songs too look pretty average though lavish sets have been erected for the film. The pre-climax action episode has been shot well and the climax looks ok. On the whole, Duvvada Jagannadham fails in all the available ways in emerging out as a blockbuster.

you must move on. Your ultimate life vision is still being restructured. Meditation helps open your mind to higher visions and calms edginess that’s hard to pin down.

CAPRICORNPartnership/relationship issues continue needing to be addressed. Saturn still transits your chart’s sector requiring analysis of commitments

and expectations in your relationships. Look inward. Reflect on deep psychological truths. Get in touch with hidden aspects of yourself. Expect intense and profound conversations. A good month for research and investigation. Work related matters/ employee relationships continue smoothly.

PISCESSummertime is when you are drawn most to romance, creativity and pleasure. You’ve been in an extended period of exploring

personal creativity and self-expression. The purpose of your existence is one of your biggest concerns. Communications abound at work or within areas of personal service. The pace of your daily rhythm accelerates.

LIBRAYou’ve been quite expressive these past few months as your ruling planet has been in Gemini for an extended

stay. Foreigners may be playing a key role. Consciousness-expanding experiences broaden your vision and provide personal growth through some Venusian endeavor. Your personal stage is highlighted. Personal reputation becomes public.

SCORPIOUse your inborn need for deep involvement and intense transformations to help expand

your personal horizons through metaphysical, religious, or spiritual pursuits. A new course of study helps advance your career. You’re still in a period of searching for the meaning of life. A good month for travel. Communicate what you need in your professional life.

SAGITTARIUSThere is a lot of intensity in your normally open and light-hearted world. You’re still learning the

limitations of your own resources and how much you need to cooperate with and how much you depend on others. New courses of study not only broaden your scope of life but they might awaken something deep in your soul. Partnership/relationship issues continue to progress smoothly. Some may finally decide to get married.

AQUARIUSYour innovation and originality is being drawn upon at work or in your everyday service. You’re still in a

period of learning the value of daily work and service, and of keeping your body functioning in a healthy manner. Communication flows in a creative fashion in partnerships/relationships. People may enter your life that uncannily resemble and act like others you know.
