Ramya JS D’Rozario

BIR BILLING, HIMACHAL PRADESH One of the top destinations for tandem paragliding in India, Bir Billing is a hotspot for Indians and foreigners alike.

Bir village lies in the southeast of Dharamsala and at a distance of about 60 km (approx.). Connected by NH20, Pathankot-Manali Highway, Bir is situated in the Joginder Nagar Valley of Dhauladhar Mountain Range in the Himalayas. Billing, at an altitude of 2,400 m (approx.), is 14 km from Bir. Billing is the launch pad while Bir serves as the landing site.

Over the years, foreigners, alerted mainly by word of mouth, started visiting this region known for its terrain that largely supported the activity.

The Paragliding World Cup 2015 was held here in October last year. Bir is a noted centre for ecotourism, spiritual studies and meditation with a Buddhist monastery in the vicinity.

Best time to visit: Throughout the year, depending on day-to-day weather conditions, but March to early June are perfect for paragliding.

REVISITING THE COLONIAL PAST ROSS ISLAND Once the seat of British power, Ross Island now boasts of breath-taking ruins and an interesting journey to the past. Named after the British marine surveyor Daniel Ross, the island was known as the ‘Paris of the East’.

The mesmerising ruins of the swimming pool, printing press, club, church and other beautiful buildings provide a glimpse to all the modern amenities, the British brought with them. Today, maintained by the Navy, apart from ruins, the tourists can see a small yet well maintained museum, plenty of birds and deer and a sound and light show.

DID YOU KNOW?

The entire construction on the island was taken care of by the freedom fighters. After many of them were moved to Viper Island, the remaining were given the responsibility of maintenance.

CELLULAR JAIL An iconic symbol of India’s struggle for independence from colonial rule, the Cellular Jail takes one back to British-era, wherein the jail imprisoned freedom fighters. The monument is preserved as a shrine to India’s freedom fighters, where visitors can indulge in the history of the place once known as ‘the hell on earth’.

The museum here relates the history of this place, names of the convicts, photographs and more.

Do stay back for the sound and light show in the evening which is one of the most engaging attractions that Port Blair has to offer. Aimed at telling the story of the history at cellular jail, it is a perfect blend of both information and entertainment.

Build between 1857 and 1906 by the British, the structure of Cellular Jail has seven spikes of a bicycle wheel around the Watch Tower in three stories, each wing was specially designed for solitary confinement.

Heritage tour of AHMEDABAD

In the early morning light, it seemed as if the sun had cast a golden halo, owing largely to the lovely white and ochre hues of the building. An air of serenity hung all around the Kalupur Swaminarayan Temple in Ahmedabad, broken only by the occasional ringing of the temple bell. There were only a smattering of devotees; of them was a group of women dressed in bright red and immersed in prayer.

was at the temple for another reason: the start of the Ahmedabad heritage walk organised by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation and the Foundation for Conservation and Research of Urban Traditional Architecture (CRUTA).

THE STARTING POINT Located in the old part, the Swami Narayan temple is a microcosm of the city and state’s history, that combines many influences. Built in a mix of Indian, British and Mughal architectural

C O U T U R E

styles, this near 200 year old temple, stood on land donated by the British.

There were numerous beautiful and colourful engravings and sculptures on the façade, columns, walls, beams and ceiling, along with depictions of people and dancers dressed in traditional Rajasthani and Marathi style as well as birds, animals, leaf and plant motifs.

There was even a political statement: an engraving portraying the first Indian war of Independence in 1857.

Just outside the temple walls, the road was lined with vegetable and fruit vendors and pushcarts offering sweet and refreshing masala tea, just the right brew to fortify oneself before the walk.

A handful of others had also arrived for the walk, so, led by a volunteer, we skirted the temple and made our way through a warren of narrow streets with old buildings sitting cheek by jowl. As we traversed the congested lanes packed with old buildings, the guide informed that Ahmedabad was established on the ancient site of Ashaval and Karnavati, on the banks of the Sabarmati river in the beginning of the 15th century by rulers of the Delhi Sultanate. It was later ruled by the Mughals

and the Marathas before becoming one of the major centres of the Independence movement. As a result, the city was home to some exquisite Hindu and Jain temples as well as Islamic monuments.

‘POL’ WALK Soon we came upon one of old town Ahmedabad’s iconic features, the pol. These are a cluster of houses, a neighbourhood in short, with narrow streets and passages with a central courtyard for a temple, a community well and a chabutara or bird feeder. In effect, a world unto itself, self-contained and protected. Pronounced as pole, these go back to the early 18th century and were a defence mechanism; they even had secret passages and hiding places known only to the people of the pol. When they were established, a pol contained people of the same caste, religion or vocation but this has changed now, though the pols continue to exist.

As we crossed from one pol to another, it was fascinating to notice that each had their own distinct features.

At Lambeshwar Ni Pol, named after a Jain temple, I was mesmerised by old wooden doors and carvings. In another, a bright green bird feeder, perched

The road under the bridge suddenly opened onto a larger road on which stood the old Ahmedabad stock exchange, a regal building with intricate detailed work on the windows and facade. Further down the road was Manek Chowk, the city’s largest market. At that early morning hour, traders were just opening their establishments. A few sundry carts selling terracotta lamps and flowers were doing brisk business. Elsewhere, bright silver jewellery beckoned, while strong aromas wafted from another shop selling spices, condiments and assorted eatables.

By now, traffic had gradually increased and roads were getting busier.

Though it was just getting to 10 am, the sun was blazing down and it was already uncomfortably hot, but thankfully the walk was winding up.

The last stop was Jama Masjid, which is round the corner from Manek Chowk and we walked past buildings with beautiful jali work before entering the sprawling grounds of the mosque.

Almost 600 years old and built of yellow sandstone, the mosque was stunning with multiple domes, arches and a multitude of pillars with carvings of motifs and patterns. A sense of tranquility hung in the air. In the courtyard, it was like time had stopped momentarily. In fact, the entire walk had transported me back by a few hundred years and had given me a glimpse of Ahmedabad’s soul.

YOUR MUSICAL JOURNEY. I was born into a musical family and that’s where the journey began. When my mother was expecting me, she was teaching as well as learning Indian classical music. My father was a folk legend of Assam. He performed folk music for years and played a big role in popularising it. He was a respected and loved figure in Assamese folk music. But it took me a while to realise that I’m good at it myself and not taking it up simply because my parents are musicians.

SOCIAL CAUSES I actively supported the Assam River Dolphin Conservation Project and helped get it a lot of attention. I have been involved in raising awareness about Clean the Brahmaputra mission. I had raised `17 lakh for Assam Flood Relief through a concert that I had put together with friends from Bollywood.

YOUR CRAZIEST FAN MOMENT first Assamese album and that pulled me towards making it a profession.

SUCCESS IN LIFE It wasn’t tough or easy because I never set out to reach a goal. I wanted to make music because I love music.

There have been different moments, achievements but what matters the most is happiness that music has brought me. I have enjoyed every moment of it. Yes, it took some time but my patience worked for me. I’m happy with what comes my way and don’t worry about how much I should or ought to get.

ATTRIBUTE YOUR SUCCESS TO...

Firstly, to my parents. I was lucky to be born in the family where I got musical upbringing. Also, growing up in the North East gave me an exposure to different styles of music. Later, shifting to Delhi exposed me to the new sounds of Asian underground, as well as newer rock influences. All those influences that I had grown up with, and all these new sounds that I was exposed to, helped me find my own sounds. Then I wrote Jonaaki Raati, and that was the turning point. Jiyein Kyun from Dum Maaro Dum (2011) was another important milestone for me.

Cross-Country Ingredients Ingredients may be abundant in a region, but owing to their versatility, are often used in cuisines across countries.

oconut, Tamarind, Basil, Ginger, Lemongrass and many such ingredients may seem synonymous with Indian cuisine or at best with the strong, spicy and aromatic Thai cuisine, yet, these versatile ingredients, lend themselves effortlessly to several cuisines globally.

COCONUT Coconut may be a staple in coastal states like Goa, Kerala and West Bengal, in various forms - desiccated, roasted, ground or coconut milk.

Sujan Mukherjee, Executive Chef, Taj Coromandel, explains, “The best part about coconut is that it can be used in starters, soups, mains and desserts.�

Moilee, Malai chingri, Cabbage foogath, are some dishes with coconut and desserts like coconut ladoos, Alle Belle, patishapta (coconut-filled pancakes), too are made with it. Indian cuisine apart, there are certain global cuisines which make use of it as well.

This versatile ingredient allows chefs to innovate too. “Confit Maguro tuna with tender coconut kernels and passion fruit dressing, vapour cooked rice steamed with coconut milk, Chilean seabass with coconut foam, Dark chocolate and coconut fondant with jaggery, are some of my favourites with coconut,” Chef Mukherjee declares.

Thai food, Sri Lankan and Caribbean cuisine, are replete with coconut.

Scraped coconut makes its way into several Sri Lankan curries, amidst an array of flavours that the cuisine boasts of. Mallum is made from shredded leaves (kale, mustard greens, cabbage) with scraped coconut, lime juice, onion, chili and fish. A coconut roti with sauce, is equally popular in Sri Lanka. And of course several Sri Lankan sweets are made with desiccated coconut.

Coconut milk is widely used in Caribbean cuisine to add volume, creamy texture and flavour to a dish. It is often married with spicy and sweet curries, with lobster, fish or chicken.

Muffin sized coconut tarts, empanada style ‘crusts’ stuffed with shredded coconut and creamy pies, are typical desserts made with coconut.

Coconut milk is used as a base for many Thai curries as the rich flavour cuts through the spices. No Thai meal is complete without the classic Thai soup with coconut milk, galangal and kaffir lime. Equally important is the green, red or yellow curry, abounding in coconut milk and served with steamed rice.

One can’t possibly relish a samosa or a papri chaat in its entirety, without the sweet and tangy tamarind or imli chutney. Chutneys apart, tamarind is abundantly used as a souring agent in Indian cuisine.

Dals, sambhar, curries too get the tart and tangy flavour with a dash of soaked tamarind. Some chefs even use tamarind as a marinade, that besides adding flavour, helps to tenderise the meat.

Tamarind is a useful tropical fruit, used in cuisines across the world. The fruit pulp is used in drinks, snacks, sorbets and Worcestershire sauce. In Thai cooking, tamarind is a popular choice, as a base for many a tangy-sweet refreshing drink, apart from the Thai Nam Makham.

It is also used in a variety of dishes including Pad Thai. Chef Hajarnavis even adds it to the traditional raw papaya salad, as a tamarind-sweet chilli dressing.

Globally, tamarind is used in a salad dressing. With a dash of lemon juice, brown sugar and olive oil, this can prove to be a great dressing. Chicken wings with tamarind mango glaze is another favourite. And of course no one goes through summer in Mexico, without sipping the refreshing cooler, Aguas Frescas.

Coconut milk is widely used in Caribbean cuisine to add volume, creamy texture and flavour to a dish, often married with spicy and sweet curries.

FRAGRANT BASIL Basil, a fragrant herb finds itself in every chef’s kitchen as it enhances a multitude of cuisines. The flavours range from mild and floral to spicy and complex are used across cuisines like the French, Italian, Mediterranean and Thai. In India, it is a sacred herb, sparingly used in cooking in dals, soups, pulaos and chutneys.

The aromatic Thai Basil, part of the mint family with the distinguishing flavours of licorice, anise and clove, is fairly commonplace. The herb is

popular in South East Asian cuisines and is generally integrated in its fresh form or eaten raw when added to salads.

Chef Rahul Hajarnavis, Associate Culinary Director of Shiro, Mumbai, infuses the flavours of basil with a twist in a unique Thai dish called Vegetarian pot stickers.

These dumplings with tofu and shiitake mushrooms, tossed with galangal, coriander root, green curry, coconut milk, then steamed and pan-seared, boast of the subtle flavours of Thai basil.

QUICK FACTS

Aguas Frescas is a mix of fruits, cereals, seeds and flowers, combined well with sugar and water. A light nonalcoholic drink, this is extremely popular in Mexico, Central America, USA and the Caribbean. Today, bottled versions of this drink is also available.

Roberto Zorzoli, Head Chef – Romano’s, JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar, feels basil is an interesting ingredient, fresh and flavourful. He explains, “Besides garnishing, basil is used to give aroma. It can be used in tomato sauce and pesto sauce for pastas and soups. It also makes a good marinade for seafood and meat to enhance the flavour to the dish. And of course few leaves in a salad, too compliment a caprese and burratta.”

Again, the bold and balanced flavours of Mediterranean cuisines are characterised by the basil. The understated, fresh aroma of basil with its intense, but light taste, is the perfect ingredient for a Tomato Dandelion Salad. Chefs feel, basil is best added at the end, when the leaves, sit for just a minute or two and infuse the food with its flavours.

No wonder, the French, call this multipurpose herb, basil herbe royal.

A summer favourite, salads are fresh and delicious option to beat the heat.

WONDER SPICE GINGER If masala chai with ginger is every Indian’s favourite, be known this spice is omnipresent in Indian kitchens. Ginger is added to almost every vegetable and meat dish in India, either on its own or with garlic. Add minced fresh ginger root to a soup, or ginger pieces to soups and experience a new flavour.

And for those who do not fancy the usual ginger in Indian preparations, be comforted that chefs play around with it in global dishes too. From lime and ginger marmalade to ginger biscuits, they know how to get the best out of ginger.

Pan Asian dishes especially Thai food, of course make use of the more pungent, whiter skin, root from the ginger family, galangal. This helps to mask the strong flavours of seafood. Ginger fried rice, curries with galangal, or maybe even a steamed chicken with lemongrass and ginger, are immensely popular.

Several seemingly local ingredients, owing to their adaptability thus, foray into global kitchens, to enhance the flavours of food.

A fresh Italian cheese, Burrata is made from mozzarella and cream, and the centre is creamy. The name means ‘buttered’ in Italian.

Caprese salad or the salad of Capri, is a simple Italian salad whose colours resemble those of the Italian flag.

IN FULL BLOOM Though the bougainvillea vines (Bougainvillea glabra) bloom through the year, they are most profuse in the summer, and their gorgeous cascades of colourful bracts make them an ideal ornamental plant. Give this hardy and adaptive plant, native of Brazil, half a chance, and it will resiliently grow in a flower pot or hold on to a tree trunk and make its way to its canopy, joyously meshing itself in the boughs of the host trees and spreading its vibrant bracts.

Of a quieter persona is the Jacaranda (Jacaranda mimosifolia), also native of Brazil, growing solitary or as an avenue tree, with light feathery Adding to the variety are trees in blossom like the orange and scarlet flowers of Gulmohar (Delonix regia), native of Madagascar and comfortably naturalised in India. The flower clusters of the native Jamun (Syzygium Cumini) that are largely concealed as they grow on side stems under its leaves! If there are large claw shaped flowers of the Indian Coral Tree (Erythrina variegata), there are tiny flowers of the native Drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) that delight equally.

leaves and fragile mauve sprays that infuse it with a delicate beauty. Of a deeper purple hue are the blossoms of Jarul (Lagerstroemia speciosa) also called Queen’s Flower, a native of India that is often grown as an ornamental tree in rows or clusters in gardens.

Their crowns are studded with large mauve panicles that last long, adding a soft colour to sun-filled parks and roundabouts.

Another beautiful sight is the Rain Tree (Albizia saman) native of South America, that grows tall with a spreading canopy, making it a perfect tree to shade a garden or a pool.

Come summer and its large canopy is spangled with pink puffs. The Copper Pod (Peltophorum pterocarpum), native to tropical south-eastern Asia and northern Australasia, has two flowering flushes in a year, of which one is in the early summer; it looks charming as an avenue tree with its canopy dotted with rust-yellow coloured flowers.

The indigenous margosa (Azadirachta indica) or neem tree bears small star-shaped flowers in the summer whose pollen and nectar attract bees and insects; different parts of the tree including its flowers have medicinal properties. Also bearing white flowers in lovely dense clusters is the native Indian Rosewood or sheesham tree (Dalbergia sissoo).

Another spectacular sight is the flowering of the Indian Laburnum (Cassia fistula) decked like a bride as it bears pendant golden yellow bunches of flowers.

A HUB FOR BIRDS Apart from the shade and soothing sight they offer us, flowers nurture the natural world as well.

As insects and birds flit listlessly in the heat, trees offer their shade and nectar. “In the summer some flowering trees offer nectar to insects, birds, squirrels and even some bats, which is a great boon to them. This

is a symbiotic relationship as in the process of sourcing nectar, the insects and birds also help pollinate flowers thus resulting in tree propagation. One especially interesting tree is the banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis) that bears figs, that along with its ample foliage make the tree a haven for birds and insects. These figs are actually a dense cluster of flowers bunched up. The female fig wasp enters the raw figs and lays eggs. By the time the eggs hatch and baby insects emerge, the figs have also ripened, and the babies feed on them. Interestingly, each Ficus species has its unique pollinating wasp species and there are about 800 Ficus species in the world!” says botanist Sweedle Cerejo-Shivkar.

The native Flame of the Forest

(Butea monosperma) casts a spell with its scarlet flowers, justifying its name as if the tree is lit with orange flames.

The stiff flowers bear nectar attracting insects and birds, with parakeets particularly accessing the nectar with their hooked beaks. Another tree with scarlet flowers is the Indian Coral Tree.

“The Flame of Forest tree is called ‘Kimsuka’ in Sanskrit, which means ‘like the parrot’.

The petals are shaped like the beak of a parrot. A dye obtained from the flower was used as gulaal (colour) during Holi.

The cone-like scarlet coloured flowers of the Indian Coral Tree are filled with nectar. In fact, if the flower is held upside-down, drops of nectar flow out.

The flowers attract sunbirds, leafbirds, orioles, starlings and more! There is often a cacophony of birds on its branches during the summer flowering season,” adds Sweedle.

While the Drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) has two or three flushes during the year, it is a delight to see in the summer as creamy white flowering adorn the tree blessed with delicate foliage attracting birds.

raw or cooked, and a drink is also prepared by fermenting them. Some animals enjoy eating the flowers: there are accounts of langurs, deer and wild boars enjoying the flowers and of sloth bears getting intoxicated having had more than their fill of these, which ferment in their stomachs.

Apart from providing sustenance, some trees also play additional roles.

“Traditional farmers in Tripura predict the rainfall and carry out their farming practices, with the help of the flowering variation in Parijat, the night flowering jasmine. The Rat Poison Tree (Gliricidia sepium), an introduced species, is planted by forest departments around farming plots like live fences as it fixes nitrogen in the soil and a mixture of its ground leaves/bark acts as a rat poison, keeping rodents away from the field,” elaborates Sweedle.

And so it is, from soothing vistas to sustenance, these wonderful sights and insights of summer’s flowering trees soften the brunt of the heat.

DID YOU KNOW?

Many flowering trees have been meshed with legends and folklore, and some more than one! Legends state that eons ago, princess Parijataka fell in love with the Sun, and when he did not reciprocate her sentiments, she took her life and the Parijat tree emerged from her ashes. Still not wanting to see the Sun, the tree blooms only at night and sheds the flowers like teardrops before sunrise.

A forerunner in this industry is Kasim Silk Emporium, a 250 year old enterprise which was awarded the Prince Albert Award by the British government in 1886 for their quality of exquisite workmanship of Kimkhab.

“Tibet had an old link with our ancestors who via the silk route

would go to Kalimpong and Sikkim.

Known for their skill, they were given some designs to weave by Tibetans. Buddhists use kimkhab and it was even used in Russia during the orthodox period. What started as a slow experiment is today so successful that we provide fabric to various monasteries all over the world. HH Dalai Lama has worn our fabric. The coronation and wedding outfit of the King of Bhutan was woven by us. The outfits for the Hollywood movie, Seven Years in Tibet including those of Brad Pitt were also woven here in Pili Kothi.

Varanasi is where most of the country’s well

The fabric is created with authentic gold or silver wires that make it a little stiff.

known designers come for exclusive hand woven materials,” adds the proud Adnan Ansari, the fourth generation of the Ansari family who manages Kasim Silk Emporium.

THE INTRICATE STYLE AND USAGE Though the same loom is used to make both Banarasi sarees and Tibetan brocade, the width of the loom for Tibetan brocade is 23 inches - almost half the width of the Banarasi saree loom. Not more than 4 mt can be woven at a time and it takes almost a month and half to weave. The two main types of brocade are gyasar and gyanta. In gyasar, the warp is of silk with the weft being a combination of silk and zari, which gives the fabric a rich and heavily woven appearance. In gyanta, the base is coloured and the design is made of resham. The base for Tibetan brocade

Buddhists use the fabric to make shrine and throne seat covers which have the 8 auspicious symbols of the Tibetans and their monograms.

is silk and it is woven as a fabric. Today, many Buddhist organisations use the fabric with heirloom designs to make shrine and throne seat covers, which have the eight auspicious symbols of the Tibetans and their monograms.

Sanjikusha is a plain gold fabric whose warp is pure silk and weft is pure gold thread. While thangkas are made with Buddha in the centre, fabrics with the khaddi, chandi and badal designs are also popular.

“Khaddi is a geometrical pattern, chandi refers to a flower while badal means clouds. Ortaksun is a dragon design which is meant to protect the Buddhists from natural disasters and ill health. These are used for interior decoration of Buddhist temples. Not just existing monasteries but also representatives of new monasteries come to Banaras for these fabrics,” adds Hasin Ahmad Ansari.

The five colours used in Tibetan brocade are red, blue, green, yellow, white and the optional mustard colour. Apart from these colours referred to as set up colours, Tibetans generally don’t prefer using any other colour. www.go-getter.in

AMAZING FACTS

Khursheed Dinshaw

Kimkhab is a traditional fabric worn by royalty.

THE PROCESS The primary person in charge of the brocade weaving is the weaver, while the second man is the one in charge of the extra warp. Working as an apprentice, the second man learns the nuances of the craft. When the loom is being set up for brocade weaving, its purpose and design are taken into account.

A fabric born out of patience and the will to go beyond the obvious is made with original peacock feathers.

Patches, clutches, Indo-western wear and upholstery are also prepared using the peacock feather fabric. The base of the fabric is silk and the weft is prepared from peacock feathers.

The thread of 23 inches is prepared by knotting the single 2 inch peacock feather strands together. The yarn is then made followed by the preparation of the loom. An 8 metre piece takes 2 months to prepare. In a day, only an inch can be woven when a weaver weaves for 10 hours. The cost for the peacock feather fabric starts at `5,500 per metre.

The weavers of Tibetan brocade are so specialised that they exclusively weave only these items.

The fabric can be classified in terms of the total layers of the threads. When three layers of thread are used, it is known as Tipara. When there are four layers of thread, it is known as Chaupara. And, when there are seven layers, it is known as Satpara. The names translate into the number of the layers of threads used.

Kimkhab brocade was widely popular in the Mughal courts. When the British came into power, apart from garments it was also used to line the capes and collars of ensembles as well as slits in dresses for women.

The best way to store Tibetan brocade is to roll it on a rod.

Its price range starts from `2,200 per metre.

FAMOUS ACROSS BORDERS Tankama and chuba are silk gowns worn in Mongolia, Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal and this fabric is also woven in Varanasi.

The traditional colour is maroon. The weavers of Tibetan brocade are so specialised that they exclusively weave only these items.

In Varanasi, you can touch, feel and buy this fabric apart from seeing live demonstrations of how it is woven.

She is in the field for more than thirty years, and in this journey has helped and exchanged energies and ideas, guided people to lead better lives, has received dozens of honours and recognitions, like ‘The Nari Ratna award, Indira Gandhi Priyadarshani Award, Rastriya Ratan award, Mahila Shiromani award, 4p Brand recognitions, ‘The Global Indian Leaders excellence award and many more such appreciations.

————Numerology is the most accurate predictive science, and has evolved from the ages of people counting stars as numerical references to today where we add up all the calculations and we have an outcome that guides you to the events in your life, and stay prepared for them.“To a person who seeks success, my system will bring success, happiness and prosperity. And to those who are already successful it will bring sustainability, positive reinforcements, further success and introduce to a new and higher perspective and lifestyle.”

Advertorial

The Journey to my methods “I am someone who has evolved, and with every step of my life have just tried to be better in what I love, I don't just predict your future, I communicate, consult and help you empower your energies.”

Every person is having an energy, a combination and each combination is different, hence they have only certain types of energy and lack other ones. This is what makes us human, that we can’t be perfect but we have to strive to be. My exclusive research and study of missing numbers in your birth graph helps me to determine what are the strong energies that I can see in you and uplift the missing energies to suit to your dreams and ambitions. With my years or research and extremely positive results, I help these missing energies in your graph. Its like improveme providing nutrition to a body, by way of simple remedies and self improvement tools that I have developed by myself.

The curious case of 4 & 8 “In my research, nearly 70% people are connected to these numbers, and this loop then influences your further generations too.’

One usually guards themselves because we have all heard a lot about disappointments and delays, sorrows and hardships of 4 & 8 and with 7 they form a trio of these energies. But I see them powerful steroids, to be handled carefully.

Then I will channelize it to positive planning and maximise your fortune’s profits.

Feel blessed if you belong to them, we will empower your life and, learn through 4 & 8 and reap more fruits of your hard work than you would have previously did.

Handle your energies well, because only in the right hands they will empower with 4 & 8.

Spotlight: Love, relations and universal energies Love between you and family or friends, is a bond beyond any calculations.

But that does not mean, a relationship isn't stressed by ongoing. There are times we connect very well with our family, and then for certain issues there comes a stressful period. Knowing and understanding on your numbers connect with your loved ones, will help you understand why you are facing what you are facing in that relationship. I have saved marriages by making partners understand each other and their numbers, saved families from getting split, helped children to love their parents pare in an older age.

Is life simpler without 4 & 8: The other side of the story Individually every number has its massive merits but if it doesn’t get the support of your fadic/destiny number it cannot do much for you. 1, 9, 5 & 3 are very powerful numbers and should get magnanimous success as per individual calculations, but if you are still struggling and have faced certain problems you should try and understand your state of energies and detangle the web, to create a free path for your future.

“A bright star has its own energy, but lighting a lamp in the dark is much more meaningful.” We all are a mix of many numbers, their combinations play us differently and affects us differently. We have to empower these combinations in our fortune, to achieve what is extraordinary, which makes us exemplary individuals, that help themselves and in addition help their families, society, help someone in need who looks unto you.

My advice “Knowledge empowers you, and there is nothing more powerful than to understand yourself, your potentials, what holds you back, what drives you forward.” I provide you this knowledge about yourself, though numerology.

Knowledge about finances, career, turnaround years, lucky dates, months, years, things that help you have a strong backup plan for everything in life. “No mantra, fasting, name changes singularly guarantees you anything. Ultimately its you who has to foresee the future, and I help you to do so.” Follow a simplistic solution Meh that I call Sandhiya Mehhta’s remedy system, and we will work on your energies and align them in the right direction The Success road ahead There is a Buddhist saying, “You yourself must strive; the Buddha’s just point the way.” f you believe in yourself and the universe let me just show you a direction, you yourself will lead on the right path and achieve the results within no desired time. I have received tremendous positive feedbacks to have faith in the universe myself.
