Imbibe Bapu's teachings: President on Gandhi Jayanti NEW DELHI: President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday asked countrymen to imbibe and follow the teachings of the Father of the Nation so that his values are immortalised. "Gandhi Jayanti is an occasion for us to reflect on the life and contribution of the Father of our Nation. This is a day to rededicate ourselves to ideals of the Mahatma who forged the instrument of Satyagraha based on truth, non-violence and power of self-suffering and helped India shed the yoke of colonialism. "Mahatma Gandhi had an exemplary passion for justice and an indefatigable spirit of service to mankind," Mukherjee said on the eve of Gandhi Jayanti. "The Mahatma's ideas and way of life permeated the collective conscience of India and found expression in all the democratic institutions that we have built up over the years," a Rashtrapati Bhawan statement said quoting Mukherjee. The President said when India's Constitution was being drafted, concepts such as Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, Abolition of Untouchability, Rights for Underprivileged and Marginalised were all inspired by Gandhian thoughts and values. "On this auspicious occasion, I urge all citizens to imbibe wisdom from the valued teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and ensure that Bapu remains alive in our hearts and minds forever," he said.

How to Boost Confidence Manmohan Singh appeals to U S industry Canada hopeful of trade Staying motivated is a struggle-our drive is constantly assaulted by negative thoughts and anxiety about the future. Everyone faces doubt and depression. What separates the highly successful is the ability to keep moving forward. There is no simple solution for a lack of motivation. Even after beating it, the problem reappears at the first sign of failure. The key is understanding your thoughts and how they drive your emotions. By learning how to nurture motivating thoughts, neutralize negative ones, and focus on the task at hand, you can pull yourself out of a slump before it gains momentum. There are 3 primary reasons we lose motivation. 1. Lack of confidence – If you don't believe you can succeed, what's the point in trying? 2. Lack of focus – If you don't know what you want, do you really want anything? 3. Lack of direction – If you don't know what to do, how can you be motivated to do it? The first motivation killer is a lack of confidence. When this happens to me, it's usually because I'm focusing entirely on what I want and neglecting what I already have. When you only think about what you want, your mind creates explanations for why you aren't getting it. This creates negative thoughts. Past failures, bad breaks, and personal weaknesses dominate your mind. You become jealous of your competitors and start making excuses for why you can't succeed. In this state, you tend to make a bad impression, assume the worst about others, and lose self confidence. The way to get out of this thought pattern is to focus on gratitude. Set aside time to focus on everything positive in your life. Make a mental list of your strengths, past successes, and current advantages. We tend to take our strengths for granted and dwell on our failures. By making an effort to feel grateful, you'll realize how competent and successful you already are. This will rejuvenate your confidence and get you motivated to build on your current success. It might sound strange that repeating things you already know can improve your mindset, but it's amazingly effective. The mind distorts reality to confirm what it wants to believe. The more negatively you think, the more examples your mind will discover to confirm that belief.

not to create barriers for Indian IT firms NEW YORK: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has appealed to captains of A m e r i c a n industry and the U.S. Government not to create barriers for Indian information technology companies through legislative and administrative measures. In an opening statement to business leaders here, Dr. Singh said: "I would like to use this opportunity to urge you to oppose efforts to create barriers for Indian IT companies through legislative or administrative measures." "These companies are the most ardent champions of India-U.S. relations. The IT and related services sector contributes eight percent of our (India's) GDP and 25 percent of our exports. It employs three million people directly. The inability of IT companies to operate in the U.S.
market, would not only affect our economy, but also the climate of opinion in India about the economic partnership with the U.S.," he added. Dr. Singh further satetd that American firms have adapted to India, offering products and services that are competitive and innovative, and which have done very well. "I hope you recognize the longer term opportunities that lie ahead. For example, we intend to invest more than a trillion dollars in the next five years in the infrastructure sector. The defence sector is another attractive area, because we will place priority on domestic procurement and encourage our private sector in this area," Dr. Singh said on Friday evening. "In today's world, a strong two-way economic and business partnership is the bedrock of a strong bilateral relationship. The business communities in both our countries have played a very important role in the development of the India-U.S. strategic partnership.
deal with India by year-end HYDERABAD: Canada hopes the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with India will be concluded by the year-end but believes the next round of negotiations likely next month will be crucial for making progress. "We are optimistic that when we have the next round, we could be moving more quickly to a resolution. It depends on ambition on both sides. There are certain things India is looking for and there are certain things we are looking for," Canadian High Commissioner to India Stewart G. Beck told IANS in an interview here Friday. The high commissioner said the studies show that CEPA would add $6 billion in trade both ways.
Pointing out that both the countries have concluded Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPPA), he said Canada was waiting for India
to sort out some issues it had with the agreement. India has put on hold FIPPAs with 83 countries after some companies challenged its decisions on 2G spectrum issue in the international arbitration.
More men than women online:UN report UNITED NATIONS: Of the world's 2.8 billion internet users, 1.3 billion users are women, while 1.5 billion are men, says a UN report. The gap between men and women
internet users could grow to 350 million in the next three years, the UN Broadband Commission said in its first global report on "Broadband and Gender" released here Saturday, Xinhua reported. The report titled "Doubling Digital Opportunities: Enhancing the Inclusion of Women & Girls in the Information Society" revealed a "significant and pervasive 'tech gap' in access to information and communication technologies (ICTs)". The gap between male and female online users widens rapidly in
the developing world, where expensive and "high status" ICTs like computers are often reserved for use by men, the report said. In other findings, women worldwide are on average 21 percent less likely to own a mobile phone, representing a gender gap of 300 million, equating to $13 billion in potential missed revenues for the mobile sector. The report brought together research from UN agencies, commission members and partners from industry, government and civil society, to create the first comprehensive global snapshot of broadband access by gender. It was officially launched by Helen Clark, the administrator of the UN Development Programme (UNDP), who has led the working group since its establishment in New York in September last year. The report also said that in developing countries, every 10 percent increase in access to broadband translated to a 1.38 percent growth in the gross domestic product (GDP).
