  • Handlooms are the hallmark of Indian Culture: Manish Abani

    The handloom industry is one of the largest unorganized sectors in India with a presence in almost every state diversifying as per geographies and cultures. It is a traditional century-old profession and business inherited from the rich Indian culture and history. India is one of the largest exporters of handloom in the world with footprints in more than 100 countries. It is one of the few sectors that preserves and promotes Indian culture and keeps the traditional spirit of India alive. It is commendable how the NDA Government spearheaded by the Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi is recognizing the potential and contribution of Handloom industries and celebrating 7th August as National Handloom Day. On this very day, Mahatma Gandhi initiated the Swadeshi Movement calling for a boycott of foreign and British goods and preferring Indian-made goods. Khadi clothing and handlooms got momentum due to this movement. Collective initiatives taken by the government are directed towards areas such as cluster development, availability of credit, promotion of exports, supporting environmental compliances, provisions of social welfare schemes for weavers, infrastructure development, availability of raw materials, brand building, marketing and R&D. The E-Dhaga app launched by the Government of India has been empowering the handloom entrepreneurs and traders. As of now, Handloom Industry in India employs over 4 million skilled and unskilled people with the majority being women. Assam state has maximum employment for the handloom industry. 87% of the employment in the handloom industry is from the rural areas while cities contribute 13%. After Agriculture, the handloom industry is considered to be the largest economic activity in providing livelihood to people. The handloom industry in India has a long rich tradition of outstanding craftsmanship, representing and preserving the dynamic Indian culture. Indian artists are now distinguished globally for their skilled aptitude in hand spinning, weaving and printing elegance. The operations of this industry are primarily household-based, wherein family members put in collective efforts for production. These activities are spread across thousands of towns and villages in the country and involve the transfer of skills from one generation to the next as traditional heritage. India was the second-largest exporter of handloom products in the world, with exports valued at US$ 353.9 million in 2017-18. One major problem in the handloom industry we need to solve is of the price fluctuations in the open market. Also, many consumers are now preferring e-commerce platforms for purchase, which is hampering the local producers and traders in rural and semi-rural areas. Over the years we have been rising globally and will continue to flourish and prosper as the rich tradition is the core of our industry. About Manish Abani: Manish Abani is the proprietor of Ganesh Handicrafts in Jodhpur, a family-run 70-year-old business. He is in the family business of handicrafts and handlooms for over 2 decades and has been serving clients globally. Ganesh Handicrafts has been catering products of paintings, home décor, sarees, shawls, scarfs, carpets, cushions, statues, silver and vintage ornaments, vintage furniture and industrial furniture. As a successful Entrepreneur, he is looking forward to expanding his handicrafts and handloom business with innovative product ideas.

  • Rotary International aims at increasing the representation of women in leadership roles to 30%

    The second Installation of the Rotary Club of Lake District Moinabad, only one of its kind of Rotary Club comprising of CEOs and Business Owners held at Hotel Hyatt Place, Banjara Hills on Last Week Thursday night The unique distinction of the Rotary Club of Lake District Moinabad is it is the first PHS Club in the entire rotary district of 3150. PHS means Paul Harris Society Club. With a contribution of 1000 US dollars per head per year, the club contributes 35000 dollars every year to the Rotary Foundation. It got this distinction in the very first year of its formation. Rotarian T. Rajashekhar Reddy, Rotary District Governor was the Chief Guest and administered the oath of office to the incoming team led by Patanjali Rao Upadrasta as President; Niraj Gelli as Secretary, Rani Reddy as Vice President, Dr Sunita as Joint Secretary and Sameer Bhagat as Treasurer. The new team succeeded the team led by Raghunathan Kannan and Ravindranath, who were President and Secretary, respectively for 2020-2022, two-year terms. Addressing the 100-plus gathering immediately after installation, Patanjali Rao outlined the projects for the year. We will take up 365 Day Medical Camps across Telangana for Women, Orphans and Senior Citizens. This is the first ever in the history of Rotary District 3150, a club is undertaking Health Checkup camps---Medical, Dental and Eye Checkups every day of the year for the next 365 days. These camps would be taken up at Orphanages, Old Age Homes and government-run residential hostels. The Club is soon commencing a self-sustaining Plastic Recycling Plant next month at Vizag. It is being set up at an investment of INR 80 lakh with a global grant from Rotary Foundation. The club will adopt a village in Narayanpet under the 'Gram Vikas' program of the Governor of the District. 700 bicycles will be donated to girls in the Narayanpet district very soon. Speaking on the occasion Rotarian T. Rajashekhar Reddy, Rotary District Governor said Jennifer E. Jones, a member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario, Canada, has become Rotary International’s first women president for the year 2022-23. It is a groundbreaking selection which makes her the first woman to hold office in the organization’s 117-year history. She has taken over as president of Rotary International this month from July 1, 2022. Speaking further he added that Jones visited India earlier this month on his maiden visit. During her visit she hoped to break many stereotypes involving women in higher posts and said India is no longer a “help-seeking nation” but a “help-giving” one. With 1.4 million members across 200 countries, India accounts for over 50 per cent of the global annual membership growth, Rajshekhar Reddy informed. Rotary is looking at increasing the representation of women in leadership roles to 30%’. 124 countries out of 200 where Rotary is active have already achieved a 30% status of women in Rotary. Women accounted for 16% of Rotary membership in India. But it is 12.9% in Rotary District 3150, which comprises the entire Telangana, Guntur and Narasaraopet in Andhra Pradesh, she told the audience. Speaking further he added that Rotary International targets to increase the representation of women in its leadership roles across the globe to 30% by 2023. Currently, 24% of the members of the Rotary family are women which would be taken up to 30% in the next year.

  • The need for Separating Corneas from Other Organs in THOTA

    The need for Separating Corneas from Other Organs in THOTA (Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act) Author: Jaswant Mehta, Founder Member &Ex President, Eye Bank Association of India (EBAI) & Chairman (Board of Advisor) & Managing Trustee, EBCRC Eye Donation: When we talk about eye donation it is mainly about the retrieval of corneas from the human body after death. The cornea is a transparent outermost layer of the eye and can be compared to the camera's lens. Light goes into the eyes through cornea-like lenses in the camera. In case of any injury to the eye due to any accident or any infection to the eye, the cornea gets damaged and the light cannot enter the eye. This condition is called corneal opacity. Thus even if the other organs of the eye like the retina etc. are intact, there will be no vision. Unlike other organs such as kidney, liver, heart etc. which have to be retrieved before the actual death takes place; the endothelium cells in the cornea remain alive up to 6 hrs after death and if retrieved within this period it is viable for transplantation. Present status of corneal opacity & eye donation: While there are several causes of blindness such as Cataract, Glaucoma or Retina detachment, the no. of people who suffer from corneal opacity are estimated to be about 8 to 10% of the total blind which works to about the 3/4 (three quarter) of the million people who can be benefited from the corneal transplant Before the pandemic which has badly affected eye donation activity, we had around 25000 corneal transplants per annum taking place in our country. To eradicate corneal blindness in a reasonable time frame of say 10 years, we need to perform at least 100000 transplants per year. To give some idea about the USA which is having 30% of our population, on average they perform 50000 transplants every year. Why separate Acts necessary for Eye donation & Corneal transplant vis-à-vis Lever, Kidney & Heart: The parameters of corneal transplant & transplant of other organs are vastly different. We need to separate the cornea from the other organs and have favourable legislation. When HOTA was being enacted in 1994, we had prepared a model corneal Grafting Act & submitted it to the parliament. Unfortunately, our lawmakers have never taken note of this & this has seriously retarded our progress. We started eye donation activity way back in the mid-fifties. But in 65 years our progress is very slow. Several countries including the USA have separated cornea from other organs & have proactive legislation & their progress has been much better than ours. To give you some idea during the 10 years between 1961 & 1971 they had a total of 20000 transplants performed. After proactive & favourable legislation was enacted in various states in the mid-70s and 80s, the number of eye donations which was a mere 6000 in 1967, touched a huge figure of 36000 in 1988. Presently in the USA, apart from performing 50000 transplants, they have surplus corneas which are sent to other countries where there is an acute need, the number being 20000 to 25000 per annum. Having cornea clubbed with other organs, has hampered eye donation activities. Till 2012 it was mandatory to have a registered medical practitioner enucleate the eyes. There were several obstacles created in HOTA including the requirement of a registered medical practitioner for retrieval of the cornea. In large numbers of eye donations, the retrieval of eyes has to be done at the home of the deceased and it was difficult to have registered medical practitioners who could spare the time of at least 2 hrs required for this process. It was only in 2012 when HOTA was replaced with THOTA, that we could manage to set this amendment. However, except for this cornea is still clubbed with other organs & we have no provision for Required Request & Presumed Consent which has helped the other countries to achieve much faster progress in eye donation & corneal transplant. In the Required Request provision, the request for consent for eye donation is mandatory to be made to the next of kin when the death takes place & it has been found that if the request is made even with little motivation so least 10% of families are agreeable for consent for eye donation. In Mumbai alone, nearly 80000 to 90000 deaths take place every year & we can retrieve 10% cornea, the number would be 8000 to 9000 eye donations. This is much larger than the present 1500 to 2000 eye donations received every year. In Presume Consent, unless there is a pre-recorded refusal, the cornea is allowed to be retrieved in all medico-legal cases where a post-mortem has to be performed. In Mumbai alone we have 7000 medico-legal cases where a post-mortem is required to be performed & even if we can retrieve 30 to 40% of cases, this also would go a long way & Bombay itself can become the hub for corneal transplant in Maharashtra. In the USA, the Required Request Law is strictly enforced in every case of death and hospital authorities have to request and if the request is not made, there is a punitive punishment. Similarly, under Presumed Consent, the eyes are allowed to be retrieved in all post-mortem cases. It must be mentioned that the removal of eyes doesn’t affect post-mortem findings & also doesn’t disfigure the face. Both these are not possible for obvious reasons in other organs. After our continuous representation & follow-up with good offices of Mr Desiraju who was the then Health Secretary, we could manage to overcome this hurdle & have trained technicians permitted to enucleate the eyes and from 2013 till now HOTA has amended and now it is THOTA. However, except for this amendment cornea is not clubbed with other organs & there is no provision of Required Request & Presumed Consent for eye donation. Having proactive & favourable legislation would not only eradicate corneal blindness in our country but will also enable us to send corneas to several countries such as our neighbouring countries Bangladesh, Malaysia & several countries in Africa etc. where there is an acute shortage and will make India a leader in eye donation & corneal transplant in the world.

  • Raksha Chhabriaa : experience, compassion and empowerment

    Raksha Chhabriaa brings experience, compassion and empowerment of self together, to create a better learning and growing experience, for oneself and others. As a certified Bach Flower Therapist from “ The Bach Centre - UK and Life Coach the best accolade and recognition I’ve received to date is a disease-free body, freedom from the deadly irreversible autoimmune disease “ Lupus”. Stay featured in conversation with Mrs . Rakshaa Chhabriaa a Bach Flower Therapist and Life Coach helping and supporting people to live a healthy and balanced life. Q. How did the idea of becoming a Life Coach come into your mind? Ans. A 5-year long journey reversing myself from the clutches of “ Lupus “ - a deadly curable auto-immune disease where your anti-bodies attack your immune system and organs instead of protecting you. As a package, Lupus brought with it “ Thyroid, Rheumatoid Inflammation, High Blood Pressure, Frozen Shoulder, Knee issues, Eye problems, Chronic fatigue and Stress, Depression, Sleep issues and Memory Loss. A shiver ran down my spine with the sheer thought and fear of living your life ahead of you in and out of hospitals. Also having been given 5-7 years of life span ahead of you created the worst kind of anxiety on one hand and tremendous willpower and spirit to get cured completely on the other. And then it all started. The choice was the latter one - willpower and spirit to get cured completely. The journey of reversal, hope and love again began. A fan of all things natural and yoga and naturopathy in my blood, I started introspection on wats the frequency of this disease and Wat mindset and emotion I need to change from within to see the change outside. I’m a live example of reversing this deadly autoimmune disease like Lupus which rheumatologists say is impossible with natural healing methods emotional coaching and constantly working inside out with the support of “ Bach Flower Remedies “, I have proven in the last 7 years that you can have a pain free, symptom free and medication free life full of energy if you were diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or any other chronic disease even cancer. The power of working on the subtle energies at the same cellular and vibrational level inside your body changes the entire game. Bach flower remedies and mindset therapy work miraculously to eradicate the root cause of any disease. The disease-free body then is a by-product of this change at the emotional level. This modality helps those suffering from poor quality of life, understand the power of holistic and alternative ways to heal and not just cure themselves. This journey helped me become a health entrepreneur, helping many people in a reversal of lifestyle diseases without medication. Most mental health problems in kids, as well as adults, get solved with Bach Flower Remedies. My passion to spread awareness on how you can absolutely heal and not just cure yourself from the clutches of diseases with the right mindset therapy and Bach remedies is now gaining popularity across the globe. You go to a spa, jog 10 km and eat the proper superfoods but yet not be able to get rid of diseases? This is the answer as well as the question. Q. According to you, Medicine or Natural therapies - what comes first? Ans. There is no denying that Allopathic medicine is life-saving and necessary to ensure that humans are provided with the best resources to assist their health journey. A quick fix to diseases and broken bones. But at the same time, a holistic approach to diseases is also essential. Medicines cannot be taken life long as they are being administered today. Gone are the days when only conventional medicine sufficed, and it was a free size. The concept of an inclusive and holistic approach demands that alternative therapies work alongside the conventional medicines and eventually free the person of diseases and hence medicines and toxicity. To fulfil the current requirements of health, I believe that a combination of conventional medicine along with bach flower remedies and life coaching to change toxic mindsets causing these diseases is necessary. Only then we can achieve holistic health for optimal living. Q. Are we losing/vanishing the traditional way of healing? Ans. My answer to this is that we are enhancing the traditional and Vedic ways of curing and healing to be more natural, to encompass and support holistic living. Q. How do you see the global battle? Ans. Among others, the COVID-19 pandemic has played a crucial role in the momentum generated for alternative and natural therapy. Conventional medicine has no cure for a lot of diseases. Then how are so many people getting cured? Healing is forever. Curing is a small part of it. Health is the alignment of mind, body and soul. Emotional health and mindset therapy is the way ahead to stay healthy and it’s being recognised and acknowledged globally. Helping people heal themselves with Bach Flower Remedies and mindset coaching is my full-time work now. insta page : rakshaachhabriaa you can message me on LinkedIn Email: dnchhabria@gmail.com

  • Integration, Innovation & Inclusion: Pathways to Progress: Dr Pratik Mungekar

    Three Pathways to Progress There are just three pathways that can lift a university or School from good to great. They are integration, innovation and inclusion. Let me explain each one of them. Integration Integration has multiple dimensions. It is integration in the entire chain from learning to doing to delivering, it is integration across disciplines, it is integration across borders leading to internationalisation.First, the challenge of integration from learning to delivering. In world class universities, education, research, innovation and entrepreneurship integrate seamlessly together. Education disseminates known knowledge. Research creates new knowledge. Innovation converts knowledge into wealth and social good. However, for innovation to move from mere ideas to actual impact in the society, we need entrepreneurship. Allgood universities is doing the most remarkable job of this integration, especially with the most important partner, namely industry. The advanced skills centres established with industry partnerships are truly unique. The second is the integration across disciplines. Breakthroughs in research take place at the interface of disciplines. Advances are generally the sum total of numerous creative ideas and interdisciplinary co-operation. Indeed moving from ideas to impact is not a unidimensional process. It is comparable to the intermeshing gears of a clock. The challenge before us is to make this intermeshing happen.Therefore, what we require is not just chemical or mechanical or computer engineers, but ‘solution engineers’, who are experts in such integration across disciplines. The third is the integration within and across national boundaries. Educational Institutes must be sensitive to the needs and the aspirations of the people and society, for which I have seen a great deal of laudable evidence. The word ‘global’ University sets a benchmark of having a global outlook, not just local; integrating diversity of thoughts and cultures with an open mind with the inspiring motto of VasudhaivKutumbakam. Looking into the future, the very character of Internationalisation will not only change dramatically but will also spread rapidly due to the phenomenal advances in Information & Communication Technology. Digitization, virtualization, mobilization and personalization are the four new megatrends. All these will lead to game changing co-creative, self-organizing, self-correcting, asynchronous, dynamic and open systems that will be borderless and globally distributed. Innovation Innovation is a successful exploitation of a new idea into the market, industry, society. It comprises the journey from mind to market place, from ideas to impact.It is only through the process of innovation that knowledge can be converted into wealth and social good. Through this movement, every citizen, every constituent of India must become an innovator. The I in India, should not stand for imitation and inhibition, it must stand for innovation. The I in IIT must stand for innovation. The I in industry, the I in every individual Indian must stand for innovation. It is only this innovative India that will signal to the rest of the world, that we are not a hesitant nation, unsure of our place in the new global order, but a confident one, that is raring to go and be a leader in the comity of nations”.It is very important to convert invention to innovation. India has rapidly moved from a ‘starting-up’ nation to the fastest growing ‘start-up’ nation. It is setting new record of producing almost one unicorn per week. A unicorn means one-billion-dollar market cap company.My own analysis showed that close to 50% of the unicorn start-ups have come from elite institutions like IITs and IIMs and the rest of them from tier 2 or tier 3 cities. This is a real democratisation of innovation. Finally innovation must spread across the education system as a way of life in everything we do. President Obama had said that education and innovation are the currencies of the 21st century. I would say that education in innovation and innovation in education are the currencies. The University must build on both.The classrooms will have to be reinvented to the changing times. It is the innovative combination of digital and physical learning that will create the future winners. Inclusion India needs growth, but more importantly, it needs inclusive growth, where no Indian is left behind. This means education for all, as also research and innovation that creates products and services, that are affordable to all, and not just a privileged few.As I always like to say science must solve, technology must transform and innovation must impact. Building Engineers for our Future In order to become topmost ranking University producing world class engineers, we must build both the minds as well as mindsets of the engineering graduates, who will build our future.Much has been written about the mind of an engineer. For an engineer, two things are important. The first deals with learning habits of mind. That includes curiosity, open-mindedness, resourcefulness, reflection, resilience, ethical approach, and cooperation and collaboration. Then there are engineering habits of mind. They include visualising, analysing, improving, adapting, systems thinking, problem finding and finally creative problem-solving.All universities must develop amongst our students both the learning habits of mind and engineering habits of mind. A leading education expert has said that two thirds of the senior school going students today will end up in jobs that do not exist today. If that is indeed the case, then how do we impart skills for future jobs, which we don’t even know what they are going to be. However, although the nature and type of jobs will keep on changing, there are certain skills that will be fundamentally required, no matter what changes take place. What are they? It is generally agreed that the top 10 skills include complex problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, coordinating with others, emotional intelligence, judgement and decision making, service orientation, negotiation, and cognitive flexibility.We test the students today by examining their domain knowledge, beat mechanical, electrical or metallurgical engineering. We have to devise new tools of evaluation, which are actually able to judge their competency in these top 10 skills. Let us remind ourselves that the word "engineer" comes from the French word "ingenieur", which literally means "an ingenious one". To my mind, our ingenuity of exploring the new tools of knowledge from adjacent disciplines is going to be the key to our success. Finally, I would like to repeat the inspiring inscription on the Lamme Medal of The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, USA, which simply says "The engineer views hope- fully the hitherto unattainable". I firmly believe that it is in this new seamless world of the emerging engineers from our University will not only "view" the unattainable but also "attain" the unattainable. Five Mashelkar Mantras The beginning of your own life is not in your hands, but where you end up is.So remember, your aspirations are your possibilities, and therefore, keep your aspirations always high. You can’t predict your future, when you are beginning your journey. Second, there is no substitute to hard work for becoming successful. Like instant coffee, there is no instant success.The golden rule is the following. Work hard in silence. Let success make all the noise. Third, purpose, perseverance and passion matters. Always too early to quit. Quitters are never winners and winners are never quitters. Interpret FAIL as your first attempt in learning. Your best Guru is your last mistake as long as you learn from it. Fourth, be always a part of a solution, never part of a problem.If you can’t find the way, create your own new way.You will keep on knocking on the doors. Don’t get frustrated if they don’t open. Create your own doors. Fifth, there is no limit to human endurance, no limit to human achievement and no limit to human imagination, excepting the limits you put on your mind yourself.Be `limitless’ in terms of your imagination. So every day, when you wake up, no matter how old you are, say to yourself that my best is yet to come and may be today is that day.

  • "Her courage was her CROWN: Kriti Shetty

    "Her courage was her CROWN and she wore like a QUEEN" Yes, I believe in this saying cause it's courage in yourself which makes you believe in yourself and move forward to face the challenges. What the world sees is the sugar-coated version of a person's life but the journey of the person is no less than a roller-coaster ride. The word " Fashion world" is so classy and trendy but darling it's not so simple as we think. Today would like the share my journey from a simple non-fashionable woman who never had any sense of fashion to winning the woman Mrs.universe lovely title at the 44th world final Mrs.universe. Born and brought in Mangalore the coastal land of Karnataka where it has given India many international pageantry winners. Completed education in accounting and management field and always interested in sports. Always had a dream of representing my country at the international level but never happened. Life went on as all the girls got married and got a baby end of careers and dreams but for me, the fairy tale started after my child's birth. I gained a lot of weight after delivery and my extended family started calling me by so many names fatso, daitya, rakshasi, Ghar kana sab khatam hogaya Sirf iskelye and so on and on. Faced a lot of humiliation, and insults and even went through depression but today if am standing it's the support and encouragement of my son. The only person who trusted me believed in me and changed me into who I am today. The 2year old made sure I did my workouts every day and even accompanied me to the fitness class and who worked out with me. After that did my certified fitness training courses and got certified. After this comes a new chapter in life "The Pageantry World" where I did my first debut and won the title of Mrs.confident Pune pride and then was not look back after that participated in ME AND MOM with my little one and we won the show with a lot of appreciation and even today my mentors give my example when they train new models. Then it went winner Mrs India and then came another turning point during the covid time the MRS.UNIVERSE. Yes it's exciting right even I felt the same happiness but back in my mind, it was like why me. Discussed with my husband and then he was like if you want to then go for it. He even said it's a rare opportunity to grab it. I said yes and then again a new journey started. It was not less than war yes I fought with myself financially, mentally, and emotionally everything and the only person who saw all my phases and who constantly supported me was my son my hero. I had to pay a huge amount and during covid times everyone faced financial problems so do I. But my director or the company didn't wait or understand me I was stuck all alone with my son and was not able to contact my husband cause he was stuck in lockdown but they never understood they only wanted me to pay the fee. I still remember my little one wiping my tears and giving all his 5 piggy banks and saying Mumma gives this money don't cry you're my super strong Mumma. Somehow managed and cleared everything and started working hard from fitness to grooming myself and proudly and confidently represented my country with the title Mrs.universe Central Pacific Asia. When the big day arrives was super excited about the event started with shopping packing and then comes another hurdle my son was hospitalized, my husband had to travel in an emergency, and the national costume was not ready till the eve of travelling and a few of my gowns. The so-called designers who claim them to be the top most after paying a huge amount and a balance of 10000 was pending and she called the dress back which she sent at night 2p.m even after requesting her for 2days of time to clear that amount as I was going through a lot of things but finally made give in written documents that will pay her at 2 pm that day then she gave the dress even after giving her continue business since years. Finally travelled to my dream destination and reached Seoul South Korea where we had to get done with the covid test and unfortunately my report was intermediate. I would like to quote " Indians are the real enemy of Indians" Yes u heard it right a group of Indians from the competition went and pleaded with the organizers to remove me from the competition and mentally and emotionally who troubled me and on the other side the other countries delegated stood with said you're fine just get the test done again and ur fine. And all thanks to God my second test report was negative then I was back with a bang where I performed every level with courage and confidence and reached the finale and came back home proudly with the title "MRS.UNIVERSE LOVELY ".

  • Meet wise Youtuber Wasim Shaikh

    My Journey as a YouTuber started with a dream to become famous and a liking for exploring new places and food. I always had this dream of becoming a famous figure in the world and was waiting for someone to push me in the right field. That’s where God pushed me to start making YouTube Videos and fulfilling my dream. One day suddenly my phone was ringing continuously, I immediately picked up my phone and saw the increasing numbers of Subscribers adding to my channel as one of my videos went Viral. And that’s where I started this journey of becoming a YouTuber. In the initial stage, I was very shy about making the videos going in public where all eyes would be on me, however, with the support of my family and friends I was able to overcome this fear. I think I'm not perfect but I'm improving day by day, with the feedback of my subscribers and also with the feedback of my family and friends. Talking about my career, I'm an accountant in an IT firm and if you ask how would I balance between both of them is a little difficult as I would not compromise on the quality of work I deliver at my office and also in the videos I post every week because I know any compromise in any of the one will not let me sleep. So for this, I have to complete a video I have to make sure that I give myself 200% at the office and then if I get any time after office I will go for making a video. Weekends are the time when I give almost a day to shoot and Sunday to edit. Also, I have to make sure that I give time to my family as they are the ones who have supported me in my difficult time. I have also been given so many auditions to become an actor in my life but unfortunately, I did not get success in them. I have had many setbacks in life personally and also professionally, I have e many ups and downs in life. However, I have also got my teaching bythat my father and mother that I should not stop and keep moving. There was a day when I choose to quit my studies but my father and mother gave me the courage to move ahead and supported me in every way in my life. Also, when I started making YouTube videos some people told me to stop making videos, as per them this is not an age to do all this stuff, but what I think is there is no age to pursue your dream. I'm close to 1000 subscribers, and these subscribers are my supporters who want me to do good in life and want my dream to be fulfilled. For Becoming a YouTuber you should not fear making and doing what you like. When you make a video where you think that you have given 200%, I'm sure that video will do good. Not in video but in any field if give your best in anything you will get good results. You should be consistent if you want to become a YouTuber, that will show the audience you are interested to improve and make videos. You have to get out of the ‘BhedChal’ to follow others and listen to your inner self and start doing what makes you feel happy. There were no instances where I was discouraged from making videos as I don’t want to make money or get views, I just want to do what I like and do what I want in life, ultimately you will get all the other things followed behind you. Try not to copy, make your stuff and let others know that you are different. Always keep on experimenting with the content, that will make you more strong and give you experiences of what to make and what not to make. Lastly, I would like to thank God and my family who supported me in whatever I do in life and also my friends who gave me time to support in making videos.

  • Beyond recognition or reward: Jaspriya Gandhok

    In whatever one does; one seeks some form of recognition or reward for the work done. It acts as a fuel that fires motivation and drives to carry on. Rewards and recognitions come in many forms and faces and different things motivate different people. This has often made me wonder what is it that motivates me, and fuels my fire to carry on with what I have set out to do – is it money, awards or recognition by peers/community? Well, it is all of these but none of them. I realised what matters most to me is the feedback I receive from the people I interact with, through my training, coaching, mentoring and writing. The sense of fulfilment that comes from knowing that you have touched even a single life to leave a lasting impression is matchless. And I count myself blessed in this regard because in course of my professional journey I have received so much love and respect, that it has kept me going. Recently, I was again stunned by how small things can turn out to be so important for people you don’t even know. For my article on Cheating, I received some very heartfelt comments, some of which I would like to share with you. These words reinforce my belief that through my work, I must give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves. Most of my writing is inspired by my own experiences and sometimes, it is excruciating to lay bare your life, your emotions, your trials and tribulations in front of the whole world, but if it gives hope even to a single person, gives strength to carry on, then the pain is worth it. I am fortunate that the nature of my work allows me to have an impact on people, however, one does not need to be professionally qualified to make a difference in the lives of people around them. Even the smallest act of kindness can turn around a person’s life. It is a choice that you have to make – a choice to be more empathetic, kind and compassionate.

  • "Happy Parents Day" - Monalisa Kar

    What an irony it is indeed? On 24th of July, we celebrated and am flooded by messages on all platforms on a #mindful day for "The Parents Day". True it is. Reminiscing... The diversity in perception is an amazing gift we possess and also I have the experience of sharing another gift, the fact that perception changes with time too! It's true for every generation, in their ways the kids and young minds develop, evolve and grow. Experiencing life while growing up is a planned affair nowadays, we put it up on our calendars, make a to-do list, ask experts and gather information and compare ...is this symptomatic behaviour shown by my kid... Humm...the #SWOTculture of each parent has become the new normal today. The relieved sigh... or the OMG what to do now is the two-way street which we venture into every week. This is happening right now, with the board results being declared for the Xth and XIIth. I saw a parent rush to school, waiting impatiently with a bouquet to ask the school to allow her an earlier leave, so they can go and celebrate her 98.4% I also saw a mom bragging about how she sat with her kid and made a goal-setting vision board and now her kid has scored 97% I came across another kid who had scored 89% and is under severe depression with suicidal tendencies. Please, am not saying it's not to be done or to be done, am in a neutral position here... I took my daughter for a celebration treat to their favourite pizza place to celebrate her 9 percentile too. Honestly, it's been a good year, yet we had our pulse raising arguments and differences on learning methodology...and some more too. And as this academic year ends, paving its way to the new chapter in our kid's lives, one thing as a mother, an expert in learning solutions and a specialist in emotional transformations - all three agree with is #experiential #living and no way other than hands-on learning is the pre-requisite. Growing up, the experience of childhood was completely different. Earlier, resources were just a walk away and parents were much more connected to the roots and culture. The community was much more involved in the upbringing of a child, my neighbours had a watchful eye and went out to make us feel like the whole camp was just the extended family. I got scolded for not being careful and getting, while the uncles and aunts around did the first-aid and bandaid. When we felt hungry we just walked into any house and said we were hungry, take a cup and ask for sugar, The only movie that streamed on Sunday evenings, was a community affair, kids and parents came bearing their share for a movie bing watch as there was one TV unit in our neighbour's house. Any festival, we kids celebrated with everyone gathering together to celebrate and pamper the “baccha party” (aka I think this term evolved when we were kids) We could just climb up trees and dress in a fairy dress on the same day and be confident of the difference in our walk all the same. We had to make our way to prove our leadership on the grounds, even if we were not, we still played and had fun. The leader looked after the ones who were struggling just the same, encouraging more, and supporting the push to learn and perform. Those were the days we learned resilience, confidence, determination, teamwork, community spirit and many more just like that on the playground. Today we learn it via a course and most of it is online. We need to explore the natural curve of learning and gather enough courage to take the muddy path which may be the one way to a creative streak, innovative blast and expressive communication, making it a striving untreated path to the mountain peak. Let's explore, be different yet be open to new experiences. Scream from the peaks to challenges coming our way, “TRY ME” !

  • The sky is the 'INFINI': Paulomi Nimbalkar & Koushal George

    Dear readers, we are here to share Words from the Founders - Paulomi Nimbalkar & Koushal George (Global Brand Ambassadors INFINI ) We live once, but by helping the needy we can live our lives in thousands of ways. The beginning is always hard, but when you believe in yourself to do something you can achieve your goals! When we decided to work for the HIV+ community, We got very little support in the beginning. We left our jobs and used all our savings to support this community because talking about HIV is still a stigma in our country and no one is willing to raise a voice for them. We faced many obstacles but those obstacles pushed us more towards our goals, In India, we have seen and thought to stand by fighting against HIV, not with the people who are suffering from HIV. And Preaching and spreading awareness for this. INFINI believes in teamwork. We have the best team working together and fighting against HIV AIDS. Our team is doing all the possible ways to spread awareness and trying their best to reach out to more and more people on and off the field, so we can save many lives from HIV Especially the Youth. This journey is full of obstacles but with the best team working together for this mission to take this revolutionary moment to a global level and make our country proud. We request everyone to join our team and save our country from HIV. About INFINI ORGANISATION 🇮🇳 India ranks among the top Countries For HIV and AIDS among 195 Countries in the world. The most affected age group is between 13-34 in India. Due to a lack of knowledge about AIDS - the number is rapidly increasing every year but many people out there aren't getting themselves checked. This is the major reason for the Virus Spreading in India. The Nation’s Youth is getting affected in Larger Numbers. So it is very important to be aware of the Youth and Provide proper Guidance to stay safe. Our Team is working towards this Mission of Awareness campaign - "Get Yourself Tested at least once in a Year" We support HIV AIDS orphans and underprivileged people. With Skill Workshops on Interest-Based. INFINI is also working on a social cause to eradicate illiteracy. We reach out to underdeveloped areas to get them skilled and develop an awareness of their rights and other acquirable diseases. We aim to develop skills in all the generations of the HIV Community - KIDS, ADULTS, OLD GROUP & Families. Our Story We were working for ourselves as everyone does. But one day, we came across a little group of children who were looking very weak. We couldn't see them in that condition. So we reached out to know more about what's wrong with their health. And then later on they revealed their HIV status. Later on, we met their Families. Few of them were less than 4 years to the ones who were 60 years old. And then we met the whole Community of HIV+ orphans and more HIV Families. There are many stories of every individual. Many of them didn't even know that when they got affected. By seeing them and knowing them we decided to begin our Revolutionary Moment. And here we are today! We work for the Social cause and on Awareness Camps for HIV on Global Level For Free. We have visited Schools, Colleges, Societies, Offices, and Villages to aware people of the Retrovirus – AIDS. We have held – HIV Awareness Camps (Majorly Working on HIV, Sex Workers, Transgenders). Future Plans We are Attempting a World Record in Pune, Maharashtra, India. We Would Like to Call all the Countries, Organizations, Educational institutes, International News and Media and others to Come and Join us for This Biggest Mission and To Create The Largest Painting for HIV Community. We Need Your Support and We Can Do it All Together. You can come forward to SUPPORT us Voluntarily and in all the ways you can. Come and Join us Today!
