Winters are around the corner and so is New Year. The unprecedented and bold initiatives taken by our government will usher in a new dawn of prosperity and probity in the nation. Your national carrier is also putting in its best efforts to improve services and live up to your expectations.

We launched a new mobile app last month and the initial reports are very favourable. In the next two months we hope to revamp our website as well and provide a superior experience to all our flyers. We recently received our 22nd Dreamliner, which is now flying between Delhi and Madrid, a brand new connection that had been on the cards since long. Also, on popular demand, from November, we have increased our weekly frequency to San Francisco from three to six days. We have also started morning Airbus flights between Delhi and Bhopal and Delhi and Surat, and in December we will put Kanpur and Bhatinda on the aviation map of India.

In 2017 we will introduce six new international connections from India, thereby giving a big thrust to both inbound and outbound tourism, besides removing the inconvenience you often face due to via-connections. It is also a matter of pride that Air India set a world record on October 16 this year by operating the longest flight in the world – between Delhi and San Francisco via the Pacific Ocean, covering a distance of 15,300 km in 14.5 hours. The winter, besides happiness, also brings with it fog, especially in the northern parts of the country. However, Air India is geared up to ensure smooth operations during this season, as we have an adequate number of pilots who are well trained and certified to operate flights in low visibility. Yet on your part, coming to the airport on time and mentioning contact details while booking will help us keep you updated about flight information. While we are putting in our best efforts to improve the airline, at times you may be inconvenienced due to inadequacies on our part that we sincerely regret. Yet, do keep sharing your feedback to help us improve. We will definitely act upon it. Bon voyage. Jai Hind!

From Delhi, we fly to Bengal for a cruise in the Sunderbans, exploring tiger tales and folklore. Internationally, we bring you the fairytale experience of a Viennese ball. Waltz with us, as we take you through the best parties of the season in the Austrian capital. Also from Europe, we bring you one of the most popular winter destinations, Iceland, as the ambassador of Iceland to India, Thorir Ibsen, tells us why Indians love his country. On the side, read about his wild encounter in Madhya Pradesh. The state comes into focus once again in the issue, as we admire the brass art of Tikamgarh near Orchha. Exploring arts, Padma Shri Shovana Narayan traces the evolution of classical Indian dances, and Kathak in particular. Another creative journey unfolds, as couturiers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla talk about India's design progress and their self-explorations. As this year ends and another readies to begin, we promise you more joy and many more new journeys.

On the Cover Nestled within the heart of Delhi's multi-hued, multi-layered cityscape, Jantar Mantar is imbued with a sense of movement and stasis, all at once. Encircled by busy office buildings and busier people, it weaves into its modern surroundings one among the many narratives of the capital's past that are inscribed upon its architectural vistas. Photographer Mukul Banerjee captures it in a rare moment of solitude and silence, and frames one of Delhi's many moods. Look through the lens of photographers and artists like Banerjee and rediscover the city as an eternal muse.

Air India family

flight of a lifetime The pilots who manned the record-breaking Air India flight from Delhi to San Francisco and back, relive their experience of making history

due recognition A function was held on October 17 at the Air India Building, Mumbai, to appreciate the efforts of Air Indians. A cash reward of `5,000 and a memento each was given to SB Nikalji, manager, security and JB Singh, assistant manager, security, by Air India CMD Ashwani Lohani as a token of appreciation for their commendable work. RD (NR) Meenakshi Dua and RD (WR) Mukesh Bhatia were also present on the occasion.

Air India CMD Ashwani Lohani congratulates the four pilots who were a part of the historic Delhi-San Francisco-Delhi flight

As Air India made its way into the record books with its Delhi-San Francisco-Delhi flight on October 16, Captain Rajneesh Sharma was among a select few for whom the achievement meant more than just a world record. Each member of the team he was a part of, had worked tirelessly to make the trans-Pacific flight a reality. “We came together not to break records, but to celebrate Air India’s 84th birthday by circumnavigating the earth. We arrived at San Francisco 15 minutes early and as we completed our paperwork, the sense of accomplishment we felt was out of this world,” he shares. Captain Gautam Verma, another member of the team, is already a celebrated figure in aviation circles. He was recently applauded for his airmanship after flawlessly manoeuvering a distressed B777 back to safety at Newark, USA. Recalling his experience on the historic trans-Pacific flight he says, “I went across the mountain tops and the brilliant blue ocean, cross-

ing all lines. It was truly one of the best experiences of my life and has given me many stories to share with my loved ones too. I am proud to have been a part of something like this.” For the youngest member of the crew, Captain Mohammad Ali Khan - who had just completed his command and earned his 4th gold stripe - this was his maiden flight as a commander. The fourth member of the team, Captain Samir M Palekar, brought to the table his experience and expertise gained through years spent in the field of aviation. He has been appreciated for his significant contribution to the certification process (Table Top Meeting with DGCA). “It is an honour to have been a part of the epic flight that propelled Air India into the record books. Being the first Air India crew to cross the vast Pacific Ocean, it was a truly exhilarating experience for us all, even with the added responsibility of executing this maiden flight efficiently,” he says.

Singh, manager, Vigilance department, pedalled across a distance of 470 km that tested his patience and grit as he tamed high-altitude motorable passes on the way. He recalls, “The highlight of the route is the magnificence of the mighty and picturesque Himalayas - pristine, pure and untouched. The gusty winds added to the experience. It was beautiful to see the landscape change terrain and colour with each passing hour.” The ride started from Manali and took him to Sissu, Patseo, Sarchu, Pang, Lato and finally, Leh. On the trip, he had the company of seven more riders. Together, they scaled an altitude of 18,000 m and crossed five passes in six days.

With all the hats he dons, Ghosh has also been entrusted with collateral duties such as assisting canteen services and coordinating the upkeep of hangars. An accomplished sportsman, he is also a reputed badminton player and a district champion, having brought laurels to the organisation at various meets.

“If you are in love with the mountains and want to push your limits, there is nothing better than conquering the Himalayas. It is a different experience on a cycle, as compared to a motorbike or a car,” adds Singh.

A lot can be said about an airline from the look of its aircraft cabin. The upkeep and maintenance of aircraft cabin was entrusted to Inderjeet Singh Sethi, senior AGM, Line Maintenance, Northern region. His remarkable work has significantly improved the cabin ambience. Some of the initiatives taken by him are as follows: Setting up separate cabin stores and speedy arrangement of spares for rectification of cabin snags without delay Periodic cleaning and fumigation Monitoring cabin-related snags through dedicated cabin supervisors for the 320-strong aircraft fleet After deactivation of IFE in Narrow body fleet he was instrumental in covering video screens, giving them an aesthetic look

Greening hospitality

Four directly managed Imperial Hotel properties in Tokyo have received the Eco Mark from the Japan Environment Association for their commitment to ecological conservation

(Left to right) An Imperial Floor Junior Suite; the special guest attendant on the Imperial Floors

Tokyo's legendary 125-year-old Imperial Hotel and its three affiliate properties have received the Japan Environment Association's Eco Mark designation this year. The Eco Mark is presented to companies whose operations effectively reduce demands on the environment or offer constructive environmental protection systems and services. The designation allows users to select goods and services which contribute to the maintenance of a healthier public environment in their daily lives. The flagship Imperial Hotel, Tokyo; the new riverside Imperial Hotel, Osaka; the secluded Kamikochi Imperial Hotel in the Japan Alps and the lower-tier Crest Hotel Kashiwa in a suburban district of greater Tokyo, all received the designation. Imperial Hotel, Ltd. had applied for accreditation for the Japan Environment Association designation, for its Tokyo flagship, Osaka hotel, Kamikochi mountain resort and the Crest Hotel in Kashiwa in May. After each property's

34 I Shubh Yatra I december 2016

performance records had been examined in detail, the designation was awarded in June. The Eco Mark accreditation criteria for hotels and inns indicate facilities and systems wherein guests are able to sense and support ecological conservation. The Imperial Hotel first opened its doors in 1890 on the same spot in central Tokyo that it occupies today, as Japan's first fully western-style Japanese hotel. It has consistently inaugurated the latest in industry reforms and innovations throughout its 125-year history and remains a favourite among business leaders, heads of state and celebrities.

Regal welcome Among its newest initiatives in upping its hospitality game, the Imperial Hotel now offers its guests accessing the city from Narita or Haneda, or bullet trains via Tokyo station, personalised welcomes by porters and kimono-clad hotel staff upon arrival in Tokyo along with deluxe, chauffeur-driven transportation from

the station to the hotel. This is a part of the hotel's Japanese-style 'Imperial Rendezvous' plan. The personalised welcome allows Imperial staff the opportunity to assess the guests' specific interests and requirements that may arise throughout their stay, and arrange for services suited to their tastes and preferences. This is one of the many elements that constitute individually tailored packaged plans offered by the hotel, which also include the station reception, accommodation on the exclusive Imperial Floors in the main building and certain meals.

Guest attendants The Imperial Floors and the Premier Tower Floors are administered by highly experienced veteran guest attendants who, in the grand tradition of Japanese inns, not only oversee all guest room arrangements but serve as dedicated personal assistants for each guest. They make dining reservations, take care of laundry and dry cleaning needs, room service and more.

A CELEBRATION OF LIGHT AND WISDOM Patna is gearing up with fervour for the 350th Prakash Parv, a glorious celebration of the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh, with preparations in full swing across the cityscape

s a state sought out by pilgrims across faiths, Bihar enjoys a unique position in India. It is a centre of education, scenic beauty, rich minerals, and ageold religious practices and culture. Nalanda, the world’s first university, was established here; democracy began here; Gandhiji launched his Satyagraha movement against British rule, here; and Buddhism and Jainism were born here, even as Hinduism and Sikhism thrived. Bihar certainly bears the heavy weight of history, but does so with much sensitivity and awareness. For both Buddhists and Jains, the landscape is dotted with monuments and sacred pilgrimage centres, while the Hindus have no less a number of places of worship. For Sikhs, in particular, the upcoming 350th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh has created an atmosphere of excitement and celebration. Prakash Parv The birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh, celebrated as Prakash Parv in Bihar, is one of the most important guru purabs in the Sikh calendar. He was born in Patna, and so the celebration of his birthday holds special significance within the city’s religious and cultural milieu. Guru Gobind Singh’s father Guru Teg Bahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, had come

40 I Shubh Yatra I December 2016

shubh-yatra.in

to Patna on a missionary tour of the East accompanied by his wife Mata Gujri, mother Nanki Ji, brother-in-law Kirpal Chand and a band of devotees. As Mata Gujri was expecting a child, the Guru decided to leave his family in the city and proceed alone to Bengal and Assam. Before leaving, he expressed a wish that if a son were born, he should be named Gobind Rai – in memory of his grandfather, Guru Hargobind. According to oral tradition, Guru Hargobind had prophesied at the time of Guru Teg Bahadur’s birth that he would be blessed with a son who would defend the people against the tyranny of the Mughals. Guru Teg Bahadur was in Dacca, engaged in organisational work, when news of his son’s birth reached him. The Guru was beside himself with joy on hearing the good news. Considerable sums were given away generously as alms and charity to the poor and the needy. Raja Ram Singh, who was accompanying him, also participated in the joyous celebration. Devotees flocked to Patna for a glimpse of the newborn Gobind Rai. Celebrations were organised in Patna and Monghyr by the Sangats that had come up during Guru Nanak’s first Udasi (divine journey). While this historic occasion is celebrated with fervour in Patna every year, this year has been witness to an International Sikh Conclave in the city, in the run-up to the celebrations of the 350th Prakash Utsav of Shri Guru Gobind Singh Ji in January. The Conclave brought together accomplished Sikh luminaries from various walks of life (academics, sports, arts, politics and more) on a common platform. Panel discussions on the life of the Sikh Guru and visits to sacred Sikh sites within the state were organised. Special cultural evenings with performances by noted Bihari and Sikh artists further livened up the event.

Patna Sahib Takht Sri Patna Sahib, also known as Harmandir Sahib, is an important shrine for Sikhs from all over the world.

The mighty steam engines got a new lease of life at the Rewari Heritage Steam Loco Shed

heritage

gathering steam A group of railway enthusiasts ensures that the steam engine lives on The mighty steam engines, fondly called the black beauties, came to this land of the maharajas and magic in the early 1880s. Revered and respected for their majestic and dynamic personalities, they left a lasting impression on everyone who encountered them. People would run out of their homes to see the majestic iron horses chugging along, whistling and thundering on the tracks, stamping their presence with smoke, steam and smouldering ash, which lingered on in the air long after they had disappeared into the horizon. These magnificent machines made a rather quiet and unceremonious exit from our mainline tracks in 1995, when they were formally withdrawn from service by the Railways. They, however, could never be withdrawn from our memories. The unforgettable romance that these machines brought to the railroads, the sweet sound of the whistle and the magnetic persona of these machines were forever etched in our hearts. We missed the steam engines and longed for these relics from the bygone era to come back again . . . and come back they did! In 2010, the small town of Rewari, 82 km south of Delhi, became the site for a unique project by a dedicated team of 25-odd â&#x20AC;&#x153;steam

menâ&#x20AC;? of Indian Railways in the twilight of their careers. They committed themselves to reviving nine vintage steam locomotives and a closed 1892-built steam engine maintenance depot to create the finest steam locomotive destination in the world.

Veiled in Vapor, a coffee-table book authored by Vikas Arya, Indian Railways officer and team leader of the revival project, chronicles the resurrection. It talks about the trials and tribulations of the team that worked against all odds, dreamt the impossible and saw it to fruition. These men gave the Indian Railways a unique gift - its symbol, the steam engine - and this finds place of pride on the organisationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s logo. Beautifully documenting the revival project with photographs clicked by the author, the book takes us back in time to the days when the steam engines ruled the roost. The coffee-table book showcases the steam shed at Rewari, with striking photographs of live broad-gauge steam locomotives and the history and the technical parameters of every engine stationed in the shed. A must-have for every railway fan, the book is available for purchase at the National Rail Museum at Chanakyapuri, New Delhi.

Air India connects New Delhi to all major cities in India and the world

It was an early spring morning, about three decades ago, when I first saw the Parliament House. It was my first visit to Delhi and the stately building had seemed like a manysplendoured apparition; immense and solid. That first impression of the scope and ambition of Delhi has stayed with me ever since. I found an echo of my impression of the city in acclaimed photographer Raghu Rai’s iconic shot of the Parliament House. The angle of Rai’s camera reflected my view and I was struck anew by the sheer architectural

grandeur of the structure. As it stands with the Indian flag flying on its crown, there is an air of hushed expectancy as the horses stand in a row, a twitch of the ears or a mild stomp of the hoof betraying their impatience as they await a cavalcade or the start of an official programme.

When I came to live in the city, a few years after my first visit, I fell in love with its wide avenues, Shanti Path, the leafy Lodhi Garden, Humayun’s Tomb, Red Fort, Jahanpanah, Hauz Khas and Tughlaqabad Fort. Master colourist Paresh Maity reflects a similar enchantment with Delhi. A look at his black-and-white photographs reveals his interpretation of what lies at the heart of the city. A stunning glimpse of the Qutab Minar, for instance, seems to have been captured with brush strokes. The landscape is defined with nuanced

It was March and Holi was near. Purani Dilli’s streets were dotted with women in bright ghaghra-choli selling mounds of gulal and pichkari. Carts of bangle-sellers, shops lined with sequinned salwarkameez-dupattas, juttis and parandis jostled for space, along with sweetmeat shops and little eateries serving piping hot pakoras and parathas… Though Chandni Chowk has changed since then, its vibrant colours, flavours, joy and rustic charm never fail to impress. Even today, Old Delhi transports you to a bygone era.

The charming sights and sounds of Chandni Chowk in Old Delhi or Purani Dilli entice both the city resident and tourist alike. But nothing I had heard about it could have prepared me for the sight I beheld when I first visited the oldest and the busiest marketplace in the city.

The colours and spirit of the city seem to have rubbed off on photographer Amit Mehra’s collection of images titled Twilight of My City, which evocatively recalls memories of Old Delhi. Says Mehra, “The vast grounds in front of Red Fort used to be our regular playground and as children, we could guess the hours of the day by the call of the azaan that reverberated from Jama Masjid. Our ancestral haveli located in Old Delhi’s Ballimaran area remained our home for years. My photographs attempt to resurrect those times.” Unusually, his nostalgic associations are not sepia-tinted – the pictures are vivid and lively. Delhi’s charming hues have been framed by photographer Dinesh Khanna in the form of colourful collages. They capture, with an expert’s precision, the minutiae and trivia of the commonplace. Talking about a particular photograph

titled Delhi ka Haat, the photographer says: “In recent years, Delhi has been overtaken by malls and fancy shops. However, tucked away in the colonies and the bylanes of the city are weekly haats, where the common man shops. The stalls seem ephemeral, appearing for a day and then disappearing for a week, but the effect of their colour lingers on.” So what is it about Delhi that fascinates the artist? Is it a coincidence or do creative minds deliberately choose to delve into Delhi’s past that is both different from and akin to the present? This is perhaps what defines the capital: a coexistence of eras, lifestyles and sensibilities.

Traditionally, historians refer to “the seven cities of Delhi”, because over the centuries, several dynasties have had their capital cities located here – each built around a fortress that doubled up as a palace.

Originally, the walled city of Delhi had 14 gates, of which now only five stand – Kashmiri Gate (pointing to Kashmir); Ajmeri Gate (facing Ajmer); Lahori Gate (facing Lahore in Pakistan); Delhi Gate (road to earlier cities of Delhi) and Turkman Gate (named after the pious saint Hazrat Shah Turkman Bayabani).

Mudras of evolution Rooted in tradition and in step with the changing times, Indian classical dances are ever-evolving, says Padma Shri Shovana Narayan Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common perception that Indian classical dances are frozen in time and, hence, somewhat irrelevant. But this is far from true. Indian classical dances have evolved over the years while strictly following the principles and canons such as the Natya Shastra (a treatise on dramatic art). These ancient guidelines, characterised by grace, precision of movement and elaborate formal gestures, steps, expressions and poses, have helped classical dance develop while retaining its praxis and ethos.

Despite the impact of changing times, at the heart of Indian classical dance forms is a pursuit of the elevation of the self and the attainment of higher levels of enlightenment through bhakti marg, involving darsana (direct vision). Today, the world speaks in a new language that combines the vocabularies of technology, social ethos and environmental concerns. The point to ponder really is: can Indian classical dance reinterpret itself within this new language and address the demands of the world as it continues to change?

The second half of the 19th century holds special significance, since it witnessed the formalisation of all recognised Indian classical dance forms. Dasiattam, Kathak and other forms were officially recognised, courtesy of efforts by the likes of the Tanjore Quartet (four brothers who lived in the early 19th century and contributed to the development of Bharatanatyam and Carnatic music) and Nawab Wajid Ali Shah (the last Nawab of Awadh, a great patron of the performing arts).

In the second half of the 20th century, efforts towards the classification of dance forms saw a revolutionary phase. Names of dance forms were changed, presentations were formalised and items were restructured. Additions to the classical panorama were made possible due to a restructuring of old dance practices - so much so that today we have eight recognised classical dance forms, as against the four that had been bequeathed at the time of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independence in 1947. Speaking as a Kathak dancer, the fact that the dance form (whose earliest reference occurs in a 4th-century BC Prakrit inscription) is still fresh in the consciousness of the 21st century is significant. It has survived two-and-a-half millennia because of its innate spirit of evolution.

2. Padma Shri Shovana Narayan

The early medieval period ushered in Sufi philosophy. On the other hand, Vaishnavism, with KrishnaRadha as the symbols for atma-parmatma, rose to prominence. The written word at this time was heavily influenced by the prevailing social ethos and found its way into dance. Over the 12th and 13th centuries, themes of classical dance forms acquired Radha and Krishna as their favourite subjects. The languages used within the classical dance realm also changed. Sanskrit had already given way to regional languages and dialects in texts delineating abhinaya (expressional pieces). And major gods, though still forming central pillars of the classical fraternity, did not preclude the inclusion of local deities. In fact, even the evergreen subject of romance and solah sringar (the 16 steps of beautification) of maidens underwent subtle changes. The prevailing social conditions of the medieval period saw the introduction of the ghunghat, or veil, which eventually found its way into texts as well as dance, leading to the creation of its hasta mudra (hand gesture). Romance now became suggestive, with shy glances and trembling hands and long tresses, in sharp contrast to the earlier explicit refer-

ences to romantic fervour. Thus, ghunghat ki gat (movement showing the drawing of the veil across the face) and various kinds of glances through the diaphanous screen became part of the Kathak repertoire. Today, we see a contemporisation of mythological stories. Draupadi’s story has been reinterpreted in terms of environmental degradation and exploitation of our planet, while Lord Krishna’s Kaliya daman lore has been recreated to draw attention to the issue of water pollution. Another popular reinterpretation of mythology has been in terms of women’s empowerment, where traditional stories about goddesses, queens and even Radha are narrated to emphasise women’s power.

tales retold Today a lot of Indian classical dances draw upon mythology and retell familiar narratives to express contemporary concerns.

Technology, change of venue and the timings of dance performances have influenced the use of lighting too. And this is an element that has been used intelligently by classical dance performers of today. From candles and oil wick lamps to gas lamps and electric lights, the tenor of evening and night performances has undergone a transformation. The extent of the performing area that can now be covered by light has grown manifold. A three-dimensional approach to lighting has also been adopted

58 I Shubh Yatra I december 2016

shubh-yatra.in

where necessary to focus on important sections. Lights are used to add to the drama of the story being narrated. This, in turn, has impacted movements where the artiste is now able to share the beauty of both expansive as well as contained movements. And this holds true for all traditional dance forms in the country. In terms of the performers themselves I can affirm that the traditional male Kathak performers have given way to women performers. Also, the traditional mantle of male gurus has been taken over by women over the years. And this again is applicable to most classical dance forms practised in India. There is then, of course, the question of maintaining classical tradition. But what is classical tradition? A tarana, a certain raga or a thumri may be part of the classical tradition today, but all three have been fruits of new frontiers in earlier ages. The truth is that many aspects of what is termed classical tradition today have stood the test of time. This reflects the spirit of the verse from the Aitareya Upanishad that says, “Charaiveti, charaiveti”, which means “keep moving, keep moving”.

And as fashion stalwarts Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla foray into Indian-at-heart Westernwear, they pen down their thoughts for Shubh Yatra India has been our eternal muse. Indian traditions, heritage, crafts and arts have inspired our work throughout. While we kept re-inventing ourselves every season, we had never experimented with Westernwear as we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything just to be part of the herd. We wanted to be unique. And now, as we work on our first season of Westernwear under the label Khosla Jani, we feel this is ultimate couture: a meld of the finest craftsmanship and techniques and hand embroideries, motifs and influences from diverse localities, cultures and eras. We have re-imagined our creative sensibilities and Indian inspirations for new audiences and geographies. It

is a label thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been conceptualised, designed and produced in India for the world. Africa, Europe, Japan and India figure prominently in the first collection, as do art, architecture and nature.

The journey

The first year was spent making samples. It was a long and tedious process, as we wanted to perfect the cuts and the embroideries. Interestingly, these sample pieces found instant recognition and were selected by stylists in Hollywood. And then they were sported by international celebrities such as Dame Judi Dench, Beyonce, Gwen Stefani and Carrie Under-

try and work towards better and more affordable infrastructure. We need to ensure our crafts and artisans get their due and get a fair representation on the global platform. And for this we need investor support. Japanese design and designers became an international sensation when corporate Japan started funding them.

We haven’t taken to the minimalism route to go international. We are maximalists. For us, more is better. More detailing and more finesse translate into more beauty. And this has only become stronger as we mature. We are nitpickers, never content and always yearning to set impossible standards for ourselves, meet them and then break our own bar.

We need a similar show of faith from our own. We are not against international luxury brands being brought to India through joint ventures between Indian and international brands but it’s important to promote Indian brands internationally as well.

Designing has never been a business for us. Like all artists, we make terrible businessmen because the compulsion to remain true to ourselves and to create with authenticity is what drives us. Our work is always an act of passion and never a product. What we have found is that our hunger, stamina and madness have increased as we have aged. Yet we see everything with a newborn’s eyes. We keep learning every day and we want to learn forever. One has to be a student always and it is for the rest of the world to call you a master.

Design across genres

Creativity cannot be contained and it will always spill over into new media of expression. As artistes, we are always stretching our limits, something that led to the launch of our furniture line in the 1990s. We began with a collection of furniture inspired by architecture and that led to residential interiors. It was a natural progression rather than a conscious, intellect-driven decision. And one home led to another. When you are inspired, you make it all happen. It’s astonishing how much you can juggle when you do what you love.

THE FUTURE IS ELECTRIC Electric vehicles could transform energy and mobility in the next decade, says Chetan Maini, the man who gave India its first mass-market electric car

An electric car, powered by a battery charged through renewable energy sources, would be a true zero-emission solution for India’s mobility concerns

My interest in electric mobility dates back to when I was studying in the US. My university team raced across the country in a solar car and stood first. Then, we raced across Australia, and stood third in the world. The fact that we could do 3,200 km using solar energy and an electric vehicle convinced me that this was the future of transportation. This also inspired me to think: what does it require to be successful in India? Here, our primary challenges include energy security, local pollution and climate change, coupled with the fact that we, as a country, want to grow but need to do it sustainably. How do we turn these challenges into opportunities? Electric mobility is the answer. In 2001, when we launched the Reva electric car, we were a little too early for the market. But the launch did seed the imagination and demonstrate that elec-

trics can work. Today, we see the coming together of technology, governance and people’s perspectives, which will harness the true potential of electric vehicles (EVs). The world’s best production EVs can go 500 km on a full charge, and can be charged in under 30 minutes; 10 years ago, the numbers were 100 km and six to eight hours. Battery technology is getting eight per cent better and cheaper every year, so you will soon see a huge shift in how it could be used. Electric mobility works well with shorter distances, slower speeds and lighter platforms – all of which exist in India, where 90 per cent of fleet vehicles are smaller vehicles, and 90 per cent of trips are shortdistance ones. Also, the stop-and-go driving is great for EVs – whenever you brake, the motor recharges the battery. This surely augurs well for us, considering that by 2030, we will have 300-400 million vehicles on the road.

advantage india

The government’s FAME Scheme has demonstrated positive intent and policy support, bringing the promise of a bright future

India meets all the requirements for electric mobility to succeed

Short distances, light vehicle platforms, slower speeds - all exist in India, and work well for electric mobility

India’s target of 100 GW solar energy by 2022 means that every vehicle manufactured in that year could be powered by solar energy, with 4x excess capacity left over

Stop-and-go driving is a boon of sorts - it charges the car battery through regenerative braking

Real-life Indian examples of transportation firms using charging infrastructure and electric cars demonstrate that the system can work!

India has a target to produce 100 GW of solar energy by 2022. To put that in perspective, all vehicles manufactured in 2022 – about 30 million – could be powered by solar energy. By 2030, with a target of 300 GW, we could power all vehicles produced up to that date (350 million) by renewable energy. Thus, this is a great prospect for our country, and EVs can definitely transform energy and mobility in the next decade or so.

Technology advances will make the cost structure of electric vehicles similar to petrol or diesel cars

However, the challenge is a chicken-and-egg issue – if volumes are high, costs will dip. American auto giant Tesla had a pre-order for 4,00,000 vehicles – they had anticipated building 5,00,000 vehicles and constructed a battery plant accordingly, allowing 40-50 per cent lower production cost that let them price the car accordingly. A mature market, government tax credits and a host of other functionalities facilitated this. The model can be successfully followed in India, where the biggest concerns remain cost, performance, and range anxiety. Battery costs are falling every year; performance levels are comparable to petrol/diesel vehicles already (even surpassing them in some flagship vehicles); and range and charging times will get better with updated technology as well as arrangements for battery swapping within minutes. This technology ecosystem

will make the cost structure of EVs similar to petrol or diesel cars, with no change in performance levels. That’s when we will have the big take-off! But how do we create the right incentives for higher volumes? Proper policy support is essential, and the government’s Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles India (FAME India) Scheme is a great step. Given the recent announcement of going all-electric by 2030, a lot more must be done, publicprivate partnerships for stronger infrastructure being essential. A good start would be public transport applications in select cities, as taxis, buses and three-wheelers currently consume the most electricity and cause the most pollution; they, though, will also have the quickest payback with electric mobility - the more you drive, the more you save! We have a chance to make a big shift. Capacities across the world have grown at 1 to 2 per cent; India is growing much faster. We can redefine mobility in five areas: electric, shared, connected, with large levels of autonomy, and powered by renewable energy. All this could take us from point A to point B at a third of the cost. This is real, and this is happening!

vegetarian Ryan Fernando offers a guide to globe-trotting vegetarian travellers on a quest for balanced food If you have been born and brought up in a vegetarian household, the Indian thali of dal, roti, chawal and sabzi probably qualifies as your most satisfying mealâ&#x20AC;Ś and happily, one that you would be served quite regularly. Researchers say an Indian diet is ideal, serving up a combination of protein, carbohydrates and fat. Our ancestors, too, thrived on these foods and this was the reason they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prone to lifestyle diseases at an early age. However, times were different then. Our forefathers were not under the constant pressure of deadlines and long hours. Unlike them, we are always on the move â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mostly for professional reasons. So naturally, on a work tour to a foreign country, one topic often running through the mind of a vegetarian is food! More than anybody else, working executives have a difficult time during official meetings, which are often held at restaurants or hotels. Limited variety in the vegetarian menu can compel them to settle for either fresh fruits and salads or the regular paneer, or assorted vegetable dishes. The important question here is: where is the balance of nutrients?

1. Quinoa is rich in protein and is filling, too

2. Hummus, made from chickpeas, is an excellent source of protein and keeps you full for a long time 3. The good bacteria in Greek yoghurt helps fight gut problems 4. Chia seeds keep you full for a longer time

5. Peanuts and peanut chikkis are also good options

Similar concerns plague students about to commence studies abroad. Concerned mothers teach their children to cook before they leave home, or generously pack pickles, desi ghee, khakras and laddoos to carry along on the trip. Hectic academic schedules and daily classes leave students with little time to prepare a proper meal; instead, they find it more convenient to munch on packaged food, or khakras and laddoos that lack adequate nutrition in themselves.

It is important to keep yourself hydrated on a flight, so keep sipping water and juices

For a vegetarian, finding a meal of choice in a foreign land – and sometimes even in a different city – is tough. And finding one that is nutritious, even more so. The following tips can serve as a useful guide for vegetarian travellers in their quest for balanced food: a) Ahead of your travel, research the food that your destination is famous for and browse for any health food stores in the vicinity. b) Intimate the hotel in advance that you are a vegetarian. Be specific, as “vegetarian” in a foreign country could also mean food without red meat or with egg, poultry and fish.

74 I Shubh Yatra I december 2016

You may consult a nutritionist who can help you with a travel nutrition guide. Also keep the following tips in mind: Consume at least 24 almonds (6 gm of protein). Carry a protein powder that provides 8-10 gm protein per serving. Try consuming at least four to six dates daily. At a restaurant, you could order food that includes kidney beans along with rice. Other than filling you up, this meal combination is an excellent source of protein. To keep ordering at restaurants simple, just ask for the burrito bowl, which is the best example of this combination. When you are on board a flight, do not forget to keep yourself hydrated. Stick only to water or fresh fruit juices that do not contain any sort of added sugar or preservatives. Also, ask for extra dry fruits and nuts (salted ones would do too) and keep munching on them at regular intervals. It will keep you full.

Vegetarian food combinations you could choose from while travelling abroad USA

When in the US, the best option is to dig into the combination of kidney beans and rice. It is a good meal for vegetarians looking for adequate protein. The burrito bowl is an excellent example of this combination. Tacos and black/mixed beans with salsa is also a good option.

Europe

Europe is famous for its meat, bread and potatoes. Breads, in fact, occupy a major portion of European cuisine. So when you head off on that trip across Europe, you will have easy access to cheese, bread and jacket potatoes with delicious sour cream and chives. And the trusted pastas and pizzas are always there to fall back on. Just be careful while choosing your toppings.

Asia

Welcome to the land of fresh and exotic fruits. And rice is Asiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staple food, so be ready for a variety of rice items. Do try the mango sticky rice; thukpa - a popular noodle soup - and laksa - a noodle soup served in a rich coconut milk-based spiced broth, along with eggplant, green beans, fresh herbs and tofu. And, of course, bite into tropical fruits such as rambutan, mangosteen, dragon fruit and jackfruit.

wanderlust I can never have enough of the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas

For us, India was an exotic land. So after we arrived, we had to learn to adjust. Climate was a factor. I’ve experienced warm countries but it was the first time that I experienced 50°C. That was one thing we had to get used to. We also had to come to terms with the diversity - we only realised its sheer magnitude when we started travelling in India.

Favourite places

We’ve been pretty much everywhere: Chennai, Puducherry, Kolkata, Mumbai, Udaipur, Varanasi and also the Northeast - Manipur, Assam (the Kaziranga National Park) and Sikkim. We did a six-day trek in the Ladakhi Himalayas. I don’t think I can go back to a place I’ve already been to because there is so much left to visit. I am yet to go to the other northeastern states as well as Goa and Rishikesh.

Favourite food

I’m a non-vegetarian and I love the tandoori and Punjabi food here. Indian cuisine is fragrant and colourful but can be a tad challenging for the expat’s palate. I love the spices, but in moderation. When my cook prepares Indian food for me, I ask him to make it mild. I find south Indian cuisine strong as well as interesting.

An Icelander’s to-do list in India

There are so many things I would ask an Icelander to do in India. First, I would suggest they explore Rajasthan - its art, colours, music and forts. Also the Taj Mahal in Agra. I think they would find South India interesting, especially Kochi. They should explore both the eastern and the western coasts of India and cities such as Varanasi and Rishikesh, to see the mesmerising rituals around the Ganges. If they enjoy trekking and adventure, they should either go to Sikkim or Ladakh.

An Indian’s to-do list in Iceland

There are two things an Indian can do in Iceland. When I came here first, I highlighted summer Iceland, because we love that phase from June to August. That’s the best time to enjoy nature, the midnight sun, the glaciers and the huge lakes with their lava fields. But later I discovered that Indians were more eager to travel to Iceland in winter, from October to February, to see the northern lights also known as the Aurora Borealis. If that is indeed what interests them, this year is set to offer an extremely good view. The strength of the northern lights is related to the constellations and the temperature, and the predictions for this year are quite spectacular. People would not need to go out of the city of Reykjavik to see it. So I would ask an Indian to visit Iceland twice a year - in summer and in winter - to experience the different sides of the beautiful country. - As told to Shrabasti Mallik

people were also assisted. f) Under the Skill Development Programme, the department trained SC and ST youths in various trades. g) Three health centres were established during 2014-2015 by Autonomous District Councils of Tamenglong, Churachandpur and Ukhrul. Minor Irrigation Department The Minor Irrigation (MI) Department in Manipur has taken up MI schemes with CentralÂ assistance under the Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme (AIBP) funding - now Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) of the Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India, and with the funds from other funding agencies such as Non-Lapsable Central Pool of Resources (NLCPR), North Eastern

Council (NEC) and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) in both surface flow and lift irrigation schemes. These schemes are implemented with proper assessment of the suitability of sites and feasibility of the particular schemes like construction of mini barrage or weir, lift irrigation schemes, or irrigation tanks according to the requirement of specific localities in the State. Under AIBP, launched in the state from the year 1999-2000 by the Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India, the Department has so far completed 945 minor irrigation schemes at a total cost of `473.80 crore and 53,914 Ha of cultivable land has been brought under its command. It has played a commendable role in promoting agricultural productivity in the areas

Under NLCPR funding, the Department completed five projects at a total cost of `2,003 lakh covering a total area of 4,889 Ha under the command of all these projects. As a part of the Twenty-Point Programme (TPP), renovation of 87 under-performing minor irrigation schemes, including modernisation of a number of RLI schemes by replacing the old diesel pumping sets with electric motors, was undertaken with loan assistance from NABARD at a cost of `22 crore during 2011-12 and `9.50 crore during 2015-16. Around `6.45 lakh has been released for taking up 20 schemes, which are in progress. Under the North East Council, Shillong, four MI schemes were approved at an estimated cost of `17.44 crore. The schemes are in progress. Since the creation of the MI department in 1981 upto 2000, the department had taken up only State Plan works costing about `5-10/20 lakh from a marginal budget amount of only 10/25 crore in a year. After that during 1999-2000 to 200102, the department had taken up 108 schemes under AIBP at an estimated cost of `4.28 crore with a potential creation of 3,740 Ha. Irrigation and Flood Control The major irrigation projects of the Irrigation and Flood Control Department include the Khuga Multipurpose Project sanctioned in July 1980 for `15 crore to create irrigation potential of 14,760 Ha. The latest approved revised cost of the project is `433.91 crore. Only 65 per cent of the dam and 75 per cent of the spillway were completed during 20022003. However, all the components of the dam and spillway were completed and commissioned on November 12, 2010 with a partial irrigation potential of 10,000 Ha. The Thoubal Multipurpose Project was approved in 1980 for `47.25 crore to create 35,160 Ha of annual irrigation, provide 10 MGD of drinking water and generate 7.50 MW of hydropower. The latest approved revised cost of the project is `1,694.27 crore.

the government. In Manipur, the bulk of the transmission and distribution of electricity within the state is with State utilities. Manipur State Power Company Limited (MSPCL) is looking after transmission of electricity whereas Manipur State Power Distribution Company Limited (MSPDCL) is looking after distribution of electricity. Till date, no private sector company has made an entry in transmission and distribution of electrical energy here. The power sector in Manipur is funded mainly through budgetary support and other specific development plans, like NEC and Non-Lapsable Central Pool of Resources. The growth of power sector infrastructure in Manipur since Independence has been noteworthy. The commissioning of the two micro hydel sets with capacities of 100 kW and 56 kW at Leimakhong in 1930 by the then Manipur State HE Board marked the beginning of the use of electricity in Manipur. The royal palace and main areas of Imphal town received electricity generated from this captive hydel station. During World War II, two more DG sets of 62 kW and 46 kW capacities were installed at the old Imphal Power House by the armed forces for electrification of Imphal town and its suburbs. The

OBC Post-Matric scholarship given to 109,740 students installed capacity remained the same till the end of the first Five Year Plan (1951-56) of the post-Independence period. The second Five Year Plan (1956-61), however, saw a significant change in the demand for power in the state. The demand had been growing rapidly due to increasing social acceptance and the gradual awareness of the people towards the use of electricity for different purposes. This had necessitated further addition in the generation capacity and it was accomplished with the installation of a few more DG sets of various capacities in and around Imphal.

Handicraft: Handicrafts in Manipur is a labour-intensive, cottage-based and traditional industry. It has its own unique identity amongst the various crafts of the country. It is regarded as one of the most suitable industries that can easily be set up by the local artisans with minimal investment at their own home by utilising locallyavailable raw materials and applying the skill already inherited by them.

The main objective of the society is to bring about comprehensive all-round development in the rural areas of the State. The schemes to be implemented by the Society are in addition to the normal schemes of the concerned government departments. Apart from implementing work programmes chalked out and approved for a particular financial year, the Society has been taking up deposit works of different departments under the state government.

Cinderella

in Vienna Becca Hensley lives a fairytale as she attends a ball in the stunning Austrian capital I feel like a princess. Until I start to dance. I descend a gilded staircase in Vienna’s Hofburg Palace, once home to the Hapsburg dynasty, and join a throng of waltzing revellers. Inept in my step, despite lessons at the renowned Elmayer dancing academy, I can’t quite perfect the elegant twirls and whirls required to move to music that emits a playful 100 beats a minute. Feeling like a failed Cinderella, I stomp on toes and hear my partner sigh, then whisper: “Backward, between, left, right, together, turn.” Finally, giving up, he picks me up just inches off the floor and I glide to his prowess, appearing to dance as beautifully as the others in the ornate room - Austrians born to the rhythm of the waltz. When the dance ends, he proffers me a glass of Champagne, shrugs his tuxedo-clad shoulders and tries to ameliorate the situation: “Not everyone can waltz on their first attempt. Some special people require extra lessons.” Not to be disheartened, I spend the rest of the night exploring the stunning gilded palace, a magnificent building along the Ringstrasse, which has more than 70 rooms. Home tonight to the prestigious Coffee House Owners’ Ball, the stately space (which includes storied portions such as the Spanish Riding School, a gorgeous example of Viennese largesse that includes tumbles of ornamental stucco, 46 decorated chandeliers and haunting paintings) has been transformed

to host a vibrant night-time soiree. Once the lively gathering has disbursed, I exit the building accompanied by my friends to join in another local tradition. We board a fiaker (a horse-drawn carriage) and clip-clop to Café Landtmann, one of the city’s most revered coffee houses, to wash down a bowl of spicy goulash with local beer — an after-ball tradition. Ball gown dishevelled and bun askew, my shoes thrown off beneath the table, I check the time. It’s 5 o’ clock in the morning. Will my Cinderella night conclude like the one in the fairytale? Will the carriage we arrived in transform into a pumpkin now? No, my Viennese companions assure me. “We do this all the time!” they say.

Ball season, an annual ritual embraced by the young and the old alike, animates with celebration during the months leading to spring. More than 300 balls are held between New Year’s Eve and the Lent season most of them black-tie events and many among them fundraisers or coming-of-age celebrations.

The custom began more than a century ago. Emperor Franz Joseph feared a revolt from his royal subjects and to quell the disharmony before it began, he invited the populace en masse into the castle for an evening of extravagant revelry, a social act that proved to be brilliantly successful. Merrymaking cut across social classes. This corresponded handily with the sudden popularity of an upstart local composer — Johann Strauss — who had invented a peppy form of music (the waltz) and the fast-paced dance that accompanied it — also called the waltz. The dance made hearts race and brought couples closer. As popular as ever, balls today are ubiquitous during Fasching (carnival season in Austria and Germany). Varying in style and mood, not all are formal galas. Soirees such as the Wallflower Ball, for instance, tread a slightly different path. The Wallflower Ball encourages inconspicuous, mousy clothing (with the worst dressed dancer winning a prize) — a perfect foil to the glitz and glamour of the dressier affairs. There are balls that celebrate professions (such as the Pharmacist’s Ball), balls that raise funds for important causes (such as the Life Ball) and balls that pay

homage to the arts (Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Ball). Interestingly, today, most Austrians learn how to waltz as teenagers and attend classes throughout the year. The day after the ball, my feet are sore from dancing but I can’t get the music out of my head. Having retired my (metaphorical) glass slippers, I wear sensible shoes and take a stroll around the city, still enchanted from the night before. It is now easy to imagine the stories behind every piece of historic architecture, art-dotted green space and humming coffee house. To the rhythm of my inner Strauss soundtrack, I visit the Kunsthistorisches Museum to gaze at the Bruegel masterpieces and other works collected by the Hapsburg dynasty. Tired, I sit for a while in the museum’s café, beneath its lavish octagonal dome, feeling every bit the spent Cinderella. But while I wait for cake and coffee, the memories of last night’s fairytale magic enliven me — as does the building’s splendid artistic display. Suddenly, as if by the wave of a wand, I feel like a princess again.

Floor-length ball gown and black tie (unless otherwise indicated, or if it is a themed ball). Don’t go to a ball alone! Go with a partner or a group of friends. Always dance with the flow (same direction as everybody else). Ballroom dancing experience (at least a little) is required if you want to dance on the main floor. Join the midnight quadrille. Everybody gets on the dance floor. It is so much fun to be part of the crowd, even if you have never done it before.

ndia has had warm and friendly relations with Austria since 1949. Indo-Austrian relations were established in May 1949 by the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru and the Chancellor of Austria, Leopold Figl. With India’s intervention in June 1953 in favour of Austria while negotiations were going on with the Soviet Union about the Austrian State Treaty, Indo-Austrian ties strengthened further. A series of highranking visits by Indian politicians to Austria since then has further cemented Indo-Austrian diplomatic ties. Economic relations Austria as a member of the European Union since 1995 has played a vital role in establishing India’s relationship with the European Union, especially with

The Indo- Austrian Joint Economic Commission (JEC) established in 1983 is active and on-going between the governmental Ministries and Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the two countries. Both countries have mutually cooperated in the fields of steel, manufacturing technology, railway and transport, equipment and metallurgy through a large number of MoUs, collaborations, technology transfers and joint ventures.

Austria’s main exports to India include machinery and equipment including projects goods, newsprint, paper and paper products, iron and steel products and professional instruments. The first IndoAustrian industrial collaboration was signed as early as 1956, for supply of steel manufacturing technology for the Rourkela steel plant.

In 2011, India imported goods worth €817.74 million from Austria which was an increase by 320% from the decade 2002–2011. Culture A MoU in the field of culture has been signed between India and Austria in February 2016; artistes from both countries continue performing regularly on the basis of exchange. Moreover, certain cultural exchanges go back to as early as the 19th century. In 1845, Sanskrit began to be taught at the University of Vienna. A chair for Sanskrit studies was established and was later converted into a chair for Indology. In 1955, it transformed itself into a separate Institute for South Asian, Tibetan and Buddhist Studies whose main focus is Indology. An MoU for establishing a Short-term Chair of Indian Studies at the University of Vienna was signed between the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and the University of Vienna in February 2011. Also, to promote Indian culture in Austria, the Embassy of India in Vienna in cooperation with the Indian Council

for Cultural Relations (ICCR) and the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH) organises the Festival of India in Vienna. The Festival of India has multiple components such as cultural performances, a food festival, a film week, an exhibition-cum-sale handicraft fair, business to business meetings, and seminars on Indian dance, Indian music, Indian handicrafts and information technology in Sanskrit-based studies. Tourism There are reportedly over 20,000 Indians (the majority from Kerala and Punjab) living in Austria – working primarily in the healthcare business and selfemployment sectors. Austria is one of the most preferred tourist destination for Indians travelling to Europe. A large number of Indian tourists visit Austria every year. In 2015, about 40,355 Indians visited Vienna, a city famous for opera, coffee houses and nightlife.

When people talk about Austrians, they invariably mention the special mentality of these people. And this mentality is very much appreciated by the guests; it is something they always remember. This is confirmed by a comprehensive survey conducted by

tourism analyst Zoover among 30,000 people in 22 foreign markets. The impressive results are a good reason to investigate exactly where the mentality of the country comes from. How do the hosts here differ from those in other countries? What cultural influences shaped them? And above all, what binds the people in the country together and why do visitors from abroad enjoy visiting Austria so much? We are not talking about Austria’s most familiar, visible features such as skiing, waltzing, dirndls, schnapps, Alpine huts, mountains, bacon or cheese. This is about a certain attitude, a mind set that did not just suddenly appear but rather evolved over centuries. When we take a brief look at the history of this country, what looms large is Austria’s

grand past as part of the Danube Monarchy. For over 500 years, Austria was the geographical centre of Europe and Vienna the political centre of the Habsburg Empire. It was the Habsburgs who, during this period, transformed the country into a huge multi-national land. People ranging from Germans, Czechs and Hungarians to Slovaks and Bosnians were united under the Habsburg crown. Long live compromise! Today, Austria – as a result of this very history – is still a land of many ethnic groups and the genes from the imperial past are still well preserved. The people here develop a very special ability that comes from living within multicultural diversity: they are able to make compromises and after they do, they are able to live them very well.

Puriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much-revered Jagannath Temple, one of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most sacred destinations, occupies a special place in Hindu faith

hree Jagannath Mahaprabhu, Lord of the Universe, is the supreme solace and saviour of countless devotees around the world. His magnificent temples at Shree Purusottam-Kshetra (Puri, Odisha), one of the four major dhams of India, have been a sacred centre of pilgrimage and worship symbolising one of the greatest spiritual and cultural heritages of the world. Traditional authorities strongly hold that Lord Jagannath is perhaps as old as human civilisation. A passage is frequently quoted from the Rig Veda and explained in the light of the well-known commentary of Sayana to show that the history of Lord Jagannath dates back to the age of the Rig Veda itself. The Puranas present elaborate accounts pertaining to the origin of the Lord in an

The temple complex is enclosed by a wall about seven metres high. The wall is pierced by four gates, facing the four directions. On the eastfacing gate, which is called the Lions Gate and is the main gate to the complex, there are stone images of two lions. Similarly, the north-, south- and west-facing gates are known as the Elephant Gate, the Horse Gate and the Tiger Gate (also called the Khanja Gate), respectively. The north gate is mainly meant for the God himself, in as much as the logs of wood out of which the idols are made, make their entry into the temple premises through this gate, when the Nabakalebara ceremony

takes place. There are pyramidal structures over the four gates, which are not very old. The largest crowds in Puri are seen during the Ratha Yatra (chariot festival) of Lord Jagannath, which takes place in JuneJuly every year. Also known as Ratha Jatra, during this festival, the presiding deities of the main temple, Sri Mandira, Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra, with the celestial wheel Sudarshan are taken from the temple precincts in an elaborate ritual procession to their respective chariots. The huge, colourfully decorated chariots, are drawn by thousands of devotees on the Bada Danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha temple, two miles to the north. After a stay of seven days, the deities return to their abode in Sri Mandira. - Courtesy www.jagannath.nic.in

ducation is one of the major backbones of the Indian economy and has become an indispensable part of the burgeoning Indian financial system. While a significant improvement has been witnessed in the quality of education facilities throughout the country, the scenario is particularly buoyant in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. This growth has been fuelled by the worldclass schools that have come up in these cities. These institutes not only offer excellent infrastructure but also focus on the overall development of students. According to an education report prepared by IBEF, a trust established by the Department of Commerce, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, the country has approximately a total of 808,802 recognised primary/ junior basic schools, 375,103 middle/ senior basic schools, and 202,381 high/ higher secondary schools (2010-2011). There are 1,048,046 government schools, which account for 80.4% of the total number of schools. The increase in the number of schools has resulted in 99% of the rural population having a primary

school within 1 km. Additionally, there are about 700 universities and 26,000 colleges in India including 42 Central, 270 state, 81 private, 130 deemed universities and 324 autonomous colleges. There are 10,364 technical institutions, out of which 799 were added in 2010-11 alone. The total number of management institutions in India currently is 10,700. These institutions are not just educators but also are an important means of modernisation of the nation. It has been seen across the world and over years that all progressive societies emphasise on universalisation of education as a mode for sustained economic development. One of the institutions that is doing a commendable job in this regard in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities is the Birla International School in Kishangarh, Ajmer, Rajasthan. Founded by the Birla Education Trust, this is a fully residential co-educational school affiliated to CBSE, Delhi. Says the school’s management, “We have created this school for the future global leaders, individuals who in the knowledge society can think globally and create a better world. At the same time, they will

shubh-yatra.in

also be able to intervene pragmatically on local issues to create a better India.” In Ajmer is located another noteworthy institution, the Sanskriti School. “At Sanskriti, we believe in a child-centric pedagogy with the right balance of co-curricular activities,” says the school management. Another school that deserves a mention is the Indore Public School. One of the best-known schools in Indore, this institution believes in and allows young minds to explore their inner self with a spectrum of dynamic opportunities. “Our children are mentored by friendly and experienced teachers in a lively atmosphere. We provide them with all essential facilities needed for their academic, artistic, sports, technical and social growth,” says the school. The other school from Indore setting new milestones in quality education is Choithram International School. An IB World School that follows an international curriculum, the school’s motto is to “impart education as a means of providing students with a philosophy of life, thereby facilitating their overall growth, intellectual development and thinking and learning skills, so they may integrate themselves into the community with respect, confidence and purpose.”

Also, IPS alumni are role models for the next generation. The 30-year-old IPS Group caters from prenursery to post-graduate studies.

Five years later, the group is now launching its third campus, which will be near the airport. Apart from Indore, the group has also spread out to embrace nearby districts with campuses in Jhabua (2010), Sanwer (2011) and Mhow (2012). A home away from home At IPS, a child lives in his home and not a hostel. Apart from all basic facilities, which include top-class dormitories, a well-equipped infirmary and a dining facility that receives praise after every meal, IPS takes care of a child’s recreational facilities as well, thus helping in the holistic development of a child. The hostel staff nurtures every child and monitors their progress and helps them to become independent. Thus, at IPS a child will never feel homesick!

Isle of wonders The stunning island nation of Mauritius is strengthening its centuries' old relations with India through cultural exchange, relaxed tourism rules and commercial initiatives The pristine white beaches of Mauritius are ideal for a relaxed vacation any time of the year

Mark Twain once wrote, 'Mauritius was made first and then heaven, heaven being copied after Mauritius'. The stunning island nation is rightly famed for its sapphire-blue waters, powder-white beaches and, yes, luxury resorts that provide a front-row seat to some of the most beautiful views in the Indian Ocean. These are places of the utmost refinement, impeccable service, facilities that range from pampering spas, designer rooms and extensive water sports to dreamy swimming pools, expansive palm-strewn grounds and world class restaurants. To increase tourism inflow from India, the Mauritian government had introduced a visa-free regime for Indian tourists in October 2004, wherein Indian tourists visiting Mauritius for a period up to 60 days do not require a visa, provided they can show sufficient funds to cover their stay.

Cultural relations with India A brief stopover by Mahatma Gandhi en route to India from South Africa (October 29 to November 15, 1901), while awaiting departure of his ship SS Nowshera, is still etched in the consciousness of Mauritius. Barrister Manillal Doctor, who came to Mauritius in 1907 on the suggestion of Gandhiji, helped the Mauritian Indian community to organise themselves and laid the foundation for their struggle for political and social rights. As a tribute to Gandhiji and the Indian freedom struggle, the National Day of Mauritius is celebrated annually on March 12 (the date that saw the commencement of the Dandi Salt March). The Indira Gandhi Centre for Indian Culture (IGCIC) at Phoenix is one of the largest centres of ICCR and has emerged as an important venue for the promotion of Indian cultural activities

The IGCIC holds classes in disciplines of Hindustani music, Kathak, tabla and yoga for Mauritian students. The Mahatma Gandhi Institute (MGI) was established in 1970 as a joint venture between the Indian and Mauritian governments for the promotion of Indian culture and education in Mauritius. The Rabindranath Tagore Institute was established with the assistance of the Indian government in 2000 as a centre of studies on Indian culture and traditions. Commercial Relations India is Mauritius’ largest trading partner and has been the largest exporter of goods and services to Mauritius since 2007. In FY 2013-2014, India exported goods worth US$ 1,000.8 million to Mauritius and imported goods worth US$ 20.79 million from Mauritius. India’s exports to Mauritius largely comprise petroleum products.

Tourism Besides being a strategic business partner, Mauritius continues to be the most preferred tourist destination for Indian and international travellers alike. For Indian travellers in particular, Mauritius offers a wide range of options for every kind of holiday: from vast, pristine beaches ideal for quiet strolls to adrenaline-driven adventure sports such as snorkelling and kayaking; from plentiful souvenir shops for little knickknacks to swanky malls such as the Bagatelle – Mall of Mauritius and the Cascavelle mall – there is something for every traveller. The island nation is reportedly also becoming increasingly popular as an Indian wedding destination, with a significant rise in the demand for grand weddings by Indians over the last few years.

banking on the future As MauBank Ltd gears up to complete its first year of operations in Mauritius - in January, 2017 - CEO Sridhar Nagarajan recounts the bank's journey so far

Sridhar Nagarajan CEO, MauBank

You are completing your first year of operations as MauBank Ltd on January 4, 2017. Could you share your experience and the progress made in this first year? We merged two banks facing difficulties in January 2016 and successfully integrated the operating systems by May 2016 - a record time of five months. Infosys, our core banking solution provider, has recently acknowledged this commendable feat with the runner-up award for project management. Our firm's positive direction is reflected in the positive profit for the first quarter of FY 2016-17, which commenced on 1st July this year. Another tangible evidence of our journey in the right direction is the decision of high caliber banking professionals from key international and domestic banks to join MauBank over the past few months. How does MauBank's association with The Mauritius Post Ltd to provide basic banking services make it different from other banks in the country? Owing to our legacy of being formed through a merger of the Post Office Savings Bank (POSB) and the New Co-operative Bank Ltd (NCBL) in 2003,

126 I Shubh Yatra I december 2016

MauBank is unique among our peers in its ability to service customers through the 86 post offices strategically located across the country, including far-flung islands like Agalega and Rodrigues. The fact that post offices offer services on Saturday, when bank branches are generally closed, is a significant advantage. The association with The Mauritius Post Ltd gives our customers both proximity and convenience. Other regular services provided by post offices, such as payment of utility bills, pensions and road tax make the linkage with MauBank even more powerful for customers. Also, channel innovation has revolutionised the face of banking around the world. MauBank is working on implementing a suitable technology to provide real-time banking services and value-added services such as account opening and cross selling of other banking products through the post office network. According to you, what impact will the amendments in the tax treaty have on India-Mauritius investment relations after its implementation from April 1, 2017? Given that a phased approach has been adopted for the shift from residencebased taxation to source-based taxation through the implementation of a grandfathering provision for investments acquired prior to April 1, 2017 and a twoyear transition period from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2019, we expect a shortterm increase in business flows. However, given that the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) smokescreen has been finally lifted through the amendment, we strongly believe that Indian businesses would now recognise the full potential of Mauritius as the hub and International Finance Centre (IFC) of Africa. We predict immense growth in Indian businesses, housing their Africa Regional Treasury Centres and Holding

Companies in Mauritius to manage the fragmented markets of Africa more economically and efficiently. Your bank is known for innovative banking. Can you highlight a few instances of innovative solutions that you have extended to your customers? With the early adoption of the EMV technology (chip and PIN) by MauBank - a standard in more than 80 countries customers can now transact more safely with MauBank cards, as it is harder for fraudsters to commit counterfeit fraud on such cards. Our endeavour to offer agency banking services at the 86 post offices using an innovative technology sourced from an Indian technology company is another instance of our approach to innovation. The financial services industry has made great progress in recent years towards eliminating paper-driven processes. Going paperless has opened the door to more efficient operations, lower costs, improved compliance and better knowledge management. MauBank has also taken a commitment to reduce its dependency on the physical flow of paper for customer-facing activities. It is, for instance, the first bank in Mauritius to manage its board proceedings in a paperless and secure manner using the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boardpadâ&#x20AC;? application. What are MauBank's plans to extend its operations and banking network in future? We are currently focusing on the domestic banking market and our strategy is to gradually build our international banking capabilities. Within the next three to five years, we aim to have branches or representative offices in five strategic locations: Mumbai, Singapore, Dubai, Nairobi and Johannesburg.

ollowing up her crucial twoday bilateral visit to India in October, where she attended the BRICS-BIMSTEC outreach summit, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is all set to visit India again in the month of December. She is likely to make a three-day visit to New Delhi in the third week of December. Bangladesh’s foreign secretary M Shahidul Haque reportedly met his Indian counterpart, Dr. S Jaishankar recently to discuss various aspects of the impending visit. Counter-terrorism and water issues, especially those pertaining to the sharing of the water of the Teesta river, are likely to remain high on the agenda, with both governments hoping for a breakthrough in the matter.

A number of bilateral documents are also likely to be signed during this visit and both heads of state are slated to cover

a wide range of bilateral issues in order to strengthen the diplomatic relations between the two countries. This will be Hasina’s maiden standalone state visit to India after PM Modi came to power. Earlier, in October, Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader spoke about how Bangladesh is hoping for a positive outcome on the Teesta water sharing issue in particular, depending on the Indian government’s stance on the same. Indian High Commissioner in Dhaka Harsh Vardhan Shringla also had a lengthy meeting with Haque at the latter’s office recently to discuss a few bilateral issues, including Hasina’s forthcoming India visit. During the Bangladesh Prime Minister’s October visit to India, PM Modi and she emphasised the need for the two nations to support each other towards the larger goal of development in the subcontinent, especially in terms of innovations in the fields of science and technology.

Several high-level officials are expected to visit Dhaka and New Delhi in the coming weeks in order to prepare the groundwork for Hasina’s proposed visit in December. Indian defense minister Manohar Parrikar is also expected to pay an official visit to Dhaka soon, besides a round of visits by the Indian national security advisor, Ajit Doval, and Bangladesh foreign minister A H Mahmood Ali. Apart from crucial dialogues around issues of security and defense, it is being hoped that the meeting will help engender further cooperation between the two countries, enabling them to come together for a collaborative fight against terrorism and violent extremism in key regions on both sides of the border. New Delhi also wants Hasina’s government to take effective measures towards ensuring the safety and security of religious minorities in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Prime Minister’s visit to New Delhi might coincide with PM Modi’s planned international conference in the city, where several heads of state and experts would share their experiences about guarding against radicalisation of the youth – a major problem in South Asia. Hasina is understood to have expressed a desire to visit the dargah of Ajmer Sharif and the Bangladesh Bhavan in Viswabharati University in Shantiniketan during her India visit.

The knitwear sector in Bangladesh is performing really well in terms of export earnings and value addition. Right now, the country holds the 2nd position in knitwear exports, following China, in the world. In readymade garments, knitwear is a strategic sector that exported products equivalent to US$ 13.35 billion in FY 2015-16, accounting for 47.54% of the total RMG export of Bangladesh and creating direct employment opportunities for 1.6 million people. It has also been maintaining a domestic value addition of about 75% over the last couple of years.

As the country is poised to get developing nation status in 2021, how are you planning your market strategies? Well, as it has been learnt, the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA), representing approximately 2,050 knitwear factories, aims at achieving export earnings of US$ 21 billion through knitwear items by 2021 to enable Bangladesh to become a developing nation by that time. Currently, the knitwear sector alone has an impact of 6.04% on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

In line with these visionary plans, we would like to go for more concentrated regional, technical, technological, investment and trade cooperation between India and Bangladesh.

market channel led by India and Bangladesh, starting with the initiative to remove CVD on RMG items and draft a future action plan. How important are markets like India and China for the Bangladeshi knitwear industry? In 2015, India imported US$ 132.645 million worth of knitwear items and imported US$ 561.245 million from the world, indicating that Bangladesh holds only 23.63% of the market share in knitwear in India. In China, Bangladesh knitwear export experienced a staggering growth of 27.23% in 2015 and now aims at grabbing a greater market share there.

BKMEA is working on market diversification to secure markets for knitwear products. We are urging the Bangladesh government to go for bilateral and regional trade agreements as Bangladesh will no longer enjoy the Duty Free Quota Free (DFQF) facility provided by developed countries once it has graduated to being a middle-income country. Perhaps we are looking for product diversification within knitwear items and better export market concentration to expand further. Are there any initiatives you are expecting from the Bangladesh government’s side? We are fortunate enough that the present government is very business, industry and international trade-friendly, and that is why we have witnessed Bangladesh experiencing 7.11% GDP growth in the last fiscal year - the first time it has ever crossed the 7% threshold. This has

been possible due to policy reforms that were adequate to facilitate any business. What are your expectations from IndoBangladesh relations after the BIMSTEC Leader’s Retreat, 2016, held in October in Goa? There are a few bilateral trade related issues that exist between India and Bangladesh. Effective Countervailing Duty (CVD) on RMG has increased from 1.8% to 7.42% after the 2016-17 Budget was passed in India. We seek the complete abolishment of CVD on RMG exported by Bangladesh to India, as we are now looking towards establishing regional and global retail brands in an integrated manner with Indian apparel manufacturers, with a view to realise more monetary value from selling an RMG product.

Our mission is to match the supply with the demand by providing to our Indian-European network and by being a strong financing partner and advisor to our customers. By doing so, we create opportunities and added value for all parties involved. What are your expectations from Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina’s visit to India in December? PM Sheikh Hasina’s visit to India holds great significance for both countries. It could shed light on various issues related to bilateral trade and also on regional trading arrangements. Both nations can benefit from strengthening their collaboration under the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC). We expect that some barriers such as non-tariff measures in the Indian market will be removed after PM Hasina’s visit to the country. As a result, Bangladesh will be able to export more knitwear products to Indian markets in future.

The Sundarbans mangrove forest is not just a visual delight, it provides succour for the mind, body and soul, says Tej Narayan It’s a green rainbow. Or that’s what it looks like, as hues of green paint the world around me in shades of serenity and peace. The dense forest lining the river is a dark olive, camouflaging the hunter and the hunted, as the water, a rippling sheet of emerald, plays touch-and-go with the drooping tree branches. The boat’s engine is switched off and I can hear the water lapping along its side as a breeze blows through the sundari trees, the “beautiful” grove that inspires the name of the forest - Sundarbans! Sandwiched between Bengal in India and Bangladesh, and merging into the Bay of Bengal, Sundarbans is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The deep green mystique of the mangrove forest is an experience to indulge in. Thriving on the marshy delta formed by the Ganges and the Brahmaputra rivers, the magnificent mangroves embrace unique varieties of flora and fauna. And interestingly, Kolkata owes its survival to them as a bulwark against the onslaught of high tides.

A UNESCO World Heritage site, Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world

A fisherman’s boat passes us, the men hunched over, engrossed in loud discussion. I notice a masked face among them. And then the wearer turns and looks at me. “Fishermen wear masks at the back of their heads to confuse the tigers,” explains a co-passenger. My trip has been inspired equally by Amitav Ghosh’s Hungry Tide as by stories of tigers of Sundarbans!

My journey starts one morning on the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-day tour to Sajnekhali. Boarding the bus from its tourism centre in Kolkata, we arrive at Basanti village, one of the entry points to the national park, in about three hours. The bus ride sets the mood, as we ramble across villages with charming thatched huts and green paddy fields. At Basanti, we board a motor boat, to reach the marine vessel Chitralekha that takes us on the Sundarbans cruise.

2. A saltwater crocodile

Sundarbans is criss-crossed by hundreds of creeks and tributaries and is the largest single block of tidal, halophytic mangrove forest in the world. It spans a vast area across India and Bangladesh and is the largest tiger reserve and national park in India. By the time we start sailing, it is noon. Our guide, Ashish Ranjan Mondal, is a veteran of the waters here and informs us that Sundarbans is only accessible by waterways. A traditional Bengali lunch is served on board as we cruise along the river and eventually a canal, on whose bank stands the Sudhanykhali watch

Highlights

Estuarine forest The Sundarbans mangrove forest, one of the largest in the world, lies on the delta of the Ganges, the Brahmaputra and the Meghna rivers in the Bay of Bengal.

The tower offers a bird’s-eye view of the green expanse. We spot a large number of coots, pintails, whistling teals and terns in the nearby wetlands. The national park is also noted for its conservation of the rare Ridley sea turtle.

the dry leaves of the hetal trees. The yellow leaves carpeting the ground form a perfect camouflage for the tiger’s stripes. Finally, we meander to Panchmukhani, where the waters of five rivers come together in a spectacular confluence. Our cameras don’t stop clicking as we try to capture the merging waters, each river a different shade of blue and muddy brown.

By the time we reach Sajnekhali, night descends. After dinner on board, we retire to the WBTDC tourist lodge close by. Silent by the day, at night, the forest comes to life with barks and calls - a symphony of nature.

But we have more watery ground to cover, and after five more hours of sailing, we reach Netidhopani, popular for tiger sightings. A motor boat from here can take a visitor along the delta to the temple of Bonbibi - the goddess of the jungle. An old Shiva temple is also nearby. A ride along the Matla river brings us back to Basanti village. The journey is over all too soon, but the memories remain - tempting me to return to unveil more secrets of the Sundarbans forest!

Morning comes early, bright and brilliant and we sail into the wide Pichkhali river. From here, we make our way into the narrow Chora Gazikhali river. Along the banks, we spot pug marks. The narrower Deulbharani river follows and we look around eagerly for a glimpse of the Bengal tiger, which, our guide informs, stays sheltered among

brew delight Coffee lore came alive as Gustasp and Jeroo Irani took a walk through the lush plantations in and around Chikmagalur, Karnataka Singer Madonna, and many other celebrities, drink only Kopi luwak or civet coffee, one of the most expensive coffees in the world. What makes the rich brew special is that it is concocted from the beans of coffee berries that have passed through the digestive tract of the civet and collected from its droppings. The enzymes that seep into the beans while in the animal’s stomach are said to stem the process of ageing. That aside, these beans are thoroughly washed, sun-dried and lightly roasted to produce an incredibly aromatic brew. Production of this prized coffee is limited to about 400 tonnes a year and available in only a handful of countries. India does not figure in that list. However, coffee grown in our country is prized for another reason - it is the finest shade-grown coffee in the world, infused with subtle tropical and sometimes monsoon flavours. Many such coffee lores came alive as we strolled through the lush coffee plantations in and around Chikmagalur in Karnataka, with Dr Pradip Kenjige, director of research and development, Coffee Day Global, the brand behind

one of the major café chains in the country. The story of coffee is laced with romance and dramatic subterfuge. As Europeans steamrolled into the New World to extend their colonial footprint, they used all kinds of ploys and wiles to obtain the legendary beans, and soon the hillsides of South America grew verdant with lush plantations. The huge plantations in Brazil, for example, had innocent-enough beginnings - a few coffee plants were smuggled by a governor’s wife in a colourful floral bouquet to her dashing lover! The beverage’s origins in India go back to Sufi saint Baba Budan, who discovered the brew while on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He decided to take the berry back with him, but faced a major hurdle as the coffee bean was fiercely protected in the Middle East and North Africa. He got around the problem by sewing seven beans into his cloak and bringing them back to his hometown. He then planted these in his garden and on a hill near modernday Chikmagalur in Karnataka. Little did he know at the time that this act would change the course of history and

the way people now enjoy their breakfast in the subcontinent. Later in his research lab, Dr Kenjige introduced us to the nuances of making the perfect cup of coffee. Surrounded by the tools of his trade, he looked like an alchemist who could turn base metal into gold. He spun a web of colour and enchantment around this heady beverage and, before we knew it, we had become coffee snobs. After four days in Chikmagalur, the birthplace of Indian coffee that lies 250km away from Bengaluru, we vowed never to drink a cup of instant coffee again - unless under duress. According to K Venkatesh, a coffee quality specialist at the Coffee Board in Chikmagalur, the discovery of the brew dates back to 800 AD, when an Ethiopian goatherd found that his flocks frolicked and gambolled with wild abandon after eating berries from a certain bush. He reported his observation to fellow villagers, and, soon, monks from a neighbouring monastery started munching on the berries to stay awake during the long prayer services. Over the next 900 years, coffee drinking spread like wildfire to the Middle East and North Africa, and distribution of the bean was tightly controlled by these countries. Venkatesh also gave us an interesting nugget on ancient Turkey. Apparently, an

ancient law in the country allowed women to file for divorce if their husbands failed to provide them with the perfect cup of coffee! The Turks love their coffee and, not surprisingly, the first coffee cafĂŠ in the world opened in Constantinople - presentday Istanbul - way back in 1475. Of the 80 cultivable varieties of coffee beans, only two - Arabica and Robusta - have been commercially exploited. In India, the Arabica, the fragrant gift of Baba Budan, grows at higher altitudes, while Robusta delivers a stronger caffeine high. While other countries have felled their forests to produce sun-grown coffee, as it produces higher yield, the plantations in India are more eco-friendly, as they thrive in natural forest cover. The spell at the coffee plantations did not end our addiction to the brew. We sipped a cup of hot filter coffee South Indianstyle, as the wind hooted outside and the graceful silver oaks whispered secrets to the night. In the adjoining plantation, the cicadas set up their nocturnal chorus - all of it adding up to the magic of the finest shade-grown coffee in the world.

Kalki and Joel Koechlin

like dad, like daughter Actor Kalki Koechlin gives us a glimpse of her relationship with her father as the duo bike through Northeast India armed with memories, grit and an undying thirst for adventure Most fathers teach their daughters how to balance a cycle, swim, drive or fly a kite. But not my dad. He taught me how to ride a bike! I grew up riding pillion behind my dad Joel Koechlin, and I learnt most of life’s lessons during our two-wheeler escapades. Then adulthood happened. Riding a bike full-throttle was replaced by being driven around by a chauffeur. There were times when I missed the impromptu road trips that dad and I used to set out on. My father, however, never gave them up. He still went on road trips, sometimes on his own and sometimes with his biker friends. Yet both of us yearned to leave routine life behind and set out together for an unknown destination. Just the two of us and a bike! After eight months of meticulous planning, the dream trip materialised but it was slightly different: two of us together, on two bikes. And we were off to Northeast India. We started our trip from Guwahati

146 I Shubh Yatra I december 2016

in Assam. We were riding together after almost 10 years and I did not realise that we would have so much to catch up on. It’s not that we don’t talk when I visit my family in Bengaluru, but those visits are short. We never have enough time to sit, talk and recollect memories. Riding a bike let us bond again. A bike sets you free; you experience the weather and almost merge with the landscape. We started in May (2016) and covered 4,000 km in the two-week trip, ending it in Meghalaya. The first lap of our journey through Assam to Arunachal Pradesh was a rocky ride on rough roads. But we knew that this was just the beginning. We were tired but we kept each other going, much like we used to. We created many cherished memories - we would stop for tea breaks, sit, talk, play football with the locals along the way and at times stare at the map trying to figure out which turn to take next. I was reliving some of the best years of my childhood.

make momos in the kitchen and we even tried our hands at archery! But my most cherished memory of the journey is when an elderly woman from the Sangti village brewed rice wine and served it to us in litres. And my father, who stays away from alcohol, gulped it all down. The two of us indulged in a lot of crazy adventures, such as ziplining and riding on dirt tracks in open cars - both exhilarating and scary. But being together and drawing strength from each other, we were more than ready to take them on. 1. Kalki and Joel take a brief stop on their journey 2. Father and daughter with a musician in Meghalaya

The roads in Arunachal Pradesh were a challenge, with narrow stretches and deep valleys dropping inches away from the road - stunning yet at the same time, frightening. But the pristine view made up for the riding challenges, with a spectacle unveiled at every turn. Arunachal Pradesh is also my favourite because it is remote yet extremely beautiful. The people, too, have a certain innocence – they are not pretentious. There is also a oneness between them and their natural environment – they know how to take care of their surroundings and are very respectful of them.

travel diaries In the two weeks that the father-daughter duo travelled in the Northeast, they also visited the Tawang monastery, fished, and took ferry rides on River Brahmaputra in Assam, and also went kayaking in Meghalaya.

The best thing about the people we met during our trip, though, was that they were not starstruck. They accepted me and my father as part of their everyday life and treated us like their own. Most of the villagers didn’t even recognise me as a Bollywood actor! I had to convince some that I was in the film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani! In Arunachal’s Sangti village, we stayed with a family. Dad and I learnt how to

It had started to rain when we left Arunachal and by the time we reached Majuli village in Assam (on the way to Meghalaya), the clouds descended on us. The roads turned into slushy streams and balancing a bike in the moving mud was very tiring. Although the lightweight Royal Enfield Himalayan bikes that we were riding helped, but there were times when I was ready to give up. But my dad had been on such roads and he was there with me every inch of the way, guiding me and supporting me in navigating the rough terrain, just like he always had. As a child, my father was my hero - a pilot, a mountaineer, a ski instructor, a friend, philosopher and guide, all rolled into one. He was the true adventurer who, in the 1970s, had hitchhiked from France to India. I re-discovered that hero on this amazing trip. My dad often says, “a journey can only be measured in memories”. Our journey together has made me believe in this like never before.

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)

By the time you end the year, you will balance things in life. You may either do some charity work or receive charity in the form of money without any expectation of return.

A family elderly or a friend could give you some sound advice which will help resolve some pending issues. Consider spending some time off to connect with your inner self in peace.

Expect to receive a sudden surplus of wealth and money probably from your workplace. Put it away for better days. If you have been considering a business, now is the time to go ahead.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

You might face a small set back this month. Keep an eye out for people who may try to cheat and deceive you. Stay vigilant and aware to avoid such negative things from happening.

You are very clear with what you want to do career wise. This clarity emerges from a firm decision to quit or move forward. You might get an opportunity to work or expand your business overseas.

Look out for awkward situations at the workplace or in relationships. Do not be disheartened by a defeat that was not meant to be yours. Be positive and let time do its work.

M I R A C L ES O F

NUMEROLOGY Honoured to receive Global Achievers Award by his excellency Shri. T.P Seetharam, the Ambassador of India to UAE in Dubai, (Jan2016)

In the bollywood glam-city awarded with Savvy honours woman 2016 from the hands of Dharmendra and Poonam Dhillon.

Received the 'Pride of India' award by the hands of The Ex Chief Minister of Delhi, Smt. Sheila Dixit in april 2016.

‘Titled Indian Nostradamus’ for her precise political predictions, since 2001 for our country.

Sandhiya Mehta is a Ace Numerologist, vast expert and now a worldwide brand who represents success and growth, for herself and for people she counsels. She has expanded the numerological field with her research and knowledge, and with advanced experiences has helped her to help every human soul in return, to guide them to their enchanting dreams, gain power over their fortunes and to come alive. With an aura au of bright lights and her charismatic personality, she has achieved of what many dream. 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.” 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 providing nutrition to a body, by way of simple remedies and self improvement improveme 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 li 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: what is my remedy? My remedy is a tool I have devised to balance your energies in your birth graph. By Precisely studying the effect of each energy, and its powers we can efficiently develop the missing energies and help you get successful results. Its not an overnight change, nothing is a miracle, but I will guide you to work on your missing energies, in return for you to create your own miracle. The universe is balanced, hence if you want to gain something you will have to lose something, in this case we will help you lose your negativities, and help you stay positive, strong and successful.

SANDHIYA MEHHTA

Numerologist and Vastu consultant with activated Third Eye

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 Get going with My success road There is a Buddhist saying, “You yourself must strive; the Buddha’s just point the way.” If 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. “I am not god; I just understand my field of work and use it to help people, guide them and provide them with some efficient ways to be happy, peaceful, ever-glorious and a good part of our society & I continue to achieve results with all my clients."- Sandhiya Mehhta.
