We have launched the non-stop direct Dreamliner flight from Delhi to Tel Aviv on March 22, 2018.

This thrice-a-week flight will fly you to Tel Aviv in just seven hours - shortest route available in this sector from India. It will also provide a convenient connection to tourists from outside India to fly to Tel Aviv via Delhi. To meet heavy demand, we have enhanced the number of flights to San Francisco from Delhi to nine per week. In sync with our mission of regional connectivity, we launched the Jaipur -Bikaner and the Jammu-Bhatinda-Jammu service with Alliance Air. We have also increased our frequency on the Delhi-Cochin-Delhi sector.

The Big Apple and the Big Orange come together - well, almost in the April issue of Shubh Yatra. As Air India flies direct to Israel's Tel Aviv, also called the Big Orange, we travel to Jaffa, the ancient port city overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, in the southern part of Tel Aviv. On our cover, we celebrate the charm of the ancient city that has been the centre of history for thousands of years.

In our international travel section, fly with us to the Big Apple, where summer has arrived and New York is living up to its name as a city of parks. Walk along with us as we explore some of the best green spaces that NYC has to offer. Within India, we take you across major Buddhist pilgrimage sites, tracing Lord Buddha's journey: Bodhgaya, Rajgir and Nalanda, Sarnath, Sravasti and Lumbini in Nepal.

@airindiain Flew AI-863 from Delhi to Mum; gotta admit I haven’t been on a journey as pleasant as that for a long long time! Smooth as silk! Everything was a delightseat, food, hospitabiliy. Crew was jovial even after deplaning. Pilots Kartik & Atul were super. Jai Hind! @full_shining

Flying to Delhi from Ludhiana’s tiny little Airport in village Sahnewal!

Thank you @airindiain for being the only one to fly from Ludhiana! @SinghLions The bag was left at Dusseldorf by @Alitalia. Repeated pleas at Rome that it be sent to Delhi as quickly as possible, landed on most uncooperative deaf ears. It finally arrived more than 48 hours later, thanks only to the help I got from the @ airindiain station manager in Rome. @JeevMilkhaSingh Tweet @airindiain

women’s day

Air India salutes woman power In 2016, Air India marked International Women’s Day by embarking on the longest flight with an all-woman crew and followed it up in 2017 with a record-breaking round-the-world flight manned only by women. This year, Air India flew to various domestic and international destinations, including five flights to the US, with women in charge

(Clockwise from top): Cockpit and cabin crew of the flight that operated between New Delhi and Chicago; the cockpit crew of the flight that flew from New Delhi to San Francisco; cabin and cockpit crew of the flight that travelled to Colombo; and the cockpit crew of the flight that flew to New York

Air India operated flights with an all-woman cockpit and cabin crew, felicitated its women employees for their achievements and organised creative and cultural events as part of its celebrations for International Women’s Day, observed on March 8. Air India flew a number of flights with a range of wide and narrow body aircraft across the globe to some

28 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

of its international destinations and also within the domestic network - operated only by its women employees.

Propelled by woman power, Air India flew to destinations like San Francisco, New York, Newark and Chicago in the US - besides destinations like Milan, Frankfurt, Colombo and Singapore. A few

shubh-yatra.in

destinations in the domestic sector also saw the airline operating with all-woman crews. Events were organised by Air India throughout its network to mark the occasion – reiterating its constant endeavour to encourage women to have an equal standing in every sphere of the airline’s activities. A unique feature of Air India’s all-woman crew flights is that most of

path to success Members of the all-woman crew of Air India flight AI 709, which was operated on the Kolkata-Dimapur-Kolkata sectors with an Airbus 319 aircraft. In fact, it was way back in 1985 that the first all-woman crew flight was operated by the national carrier between Kolkata and Silchar

the operations - from cockpit and cabin crew, check-in staff, doctors, commercial staff and ground operators to technicians, engineers, flight dispatchers and even safety and quality auditors - are all mostly carried out by women. Some of the top executives and directors at Air India are, in fact, women who have broken the glass ceiling and risen to the top.

Indeed, Air India’s woman power has proved that the hands that rock the cradle can play a key role in propelling an airline to soar high.

Flying high Sarmi Mala Gupta joined Air India in 2005 in WR and got her first licence on the A320 Airbus fleet in 2008. “I became qualified to certify the Airworthiness of the entire Airbus fleet of Air India and am a proud member of Air India’s engineering team,” says Gupta, who is presently working as deputy chief aircraft engineer. “I treasure being given an opportunity to be part of the all-woman flight on Women’s Day last year. This shows the Maharajah’s trust on the female workforce in the company,” she adds.

Manjeet Hirani joined Indian Airlines in 1986 as an air hostess. She worked for two years before taking a sabbatical to pursue flying in the US. In 1989, she joined Indian Airlines as a pilot. “I started my flying career on Boeing 737 and then switched to Airbus 320 in 1996. I have enjoyed my career progression from a co-pilot to commander and now a trainer,” says Hirani.

Air India, she feels, “is like a big family and looks after all of us.

Women get a lot of support and care from our colleagues.” Hirani enjoys travelling and exploring new places. “This is possible because of Air India,” she says. A fitness enthusiast, she has authored a book titled How to be Human. She is also an influencer and speaks across various platforms.

She rules the ground

The cockpit crew of an all-woman flight, Capt Kshamta Bajpai and Capt Sunita Narula along with other lady pilots were felicitated by the Consulate General of India at New York on the occasion of International Women’s Day. Vandana Sharma, regional manager Americas, was also present on the occasion

Suman Swami joined Air India in 1984 in the Operations department, WR, before being promoted to assistant manager, Flight Dispatch in 1999. Since 2014, she has been working as an AGM, Flight Dispatch. She says, “The aviation industry is constantly evolving and presents challenges, through which you gain confidence.”

in a new role Suresh Prabhu appointed Civil Aviation Minister Union Minister for Commerce & Industry Suresh Prabhu has been given the additional charge of the Civil Aviation Ministry. Soon after taking charge, in a message, the minister said, “As we work together, we must continue to place the highest emphasis on the convenience, safety and security of the entity that’s our raison d’être - our passengers.” He added, “Let us make connecting the unconnected and serving the unserved, our cherished life aspiration.”

Air India wins at Wings india

Maharajah in Tel Aviv On March 22, Air India operated its inaugural direct flight linking New Delhi and Tel Aviv.

Flight AI 139, operated with a 256-seater Boeing 787 Dreamliner, took off from the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi and arrived at the Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv. The flight will operate thrice-a-week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays and will cover the distance in around seven hours - making it the fastest air-connectivity from India to Israel.

To mark the launch, CMD of Air India, Pradeep Singh Kharola, along with director, Israel Ministry of Tourism, Hassan Madah, and other senior Air India executives lit a ceremonial lamp (as seen above). A cake was also cut on the occasion.

30 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

The Air India pavilion stole the show at Wings India - the sixth edition of the popular civil aviation exhibition and conference held at the Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad from March 8 to 11, 2018.

A real-life runway at the entrance of the Air India pavilion led to a giant screen inside, beaming a series of visuals of the airline.

Air India’s evergreen Maharajah mascot, placed at the gate, was the cynosure of all eyes. Everybody wanted to wear the ‘Maharajah look’.

shubh-yatra.in

Air India also won the coveted award for the best domestic airline at the meet. The theme of this year’s event was ‘Regional Connectivity - UDAN’.

Incidentally, Alliance Air, Air India’s subsidiary, had operated the first flight under UDAN which was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The event, held under the aegis of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, has been providing a platform for aviation players around the world to debate on topics related to aviation and lay down a roadmap for the growth of civil aviation in India.

a word of appreciation

Diary of a cyclist

Hello Air India, Through this mail, I wish to express my gratitude and sincere thanks to a compassionate Air India air hostess. I wonder if my gratitude will reach her.

Endurance sports is the passion for Yogendra Singh, senior manager Vigilance, Air India. Whether it’s long distance cycling or a marathon, he is always ready to challenge himself to new heights. He has achieved a great feat in long distance cycling and running. His love for cycling is not very old; he started cycling around six to seven years ago and has secured a place in the select group of endurance cyclists in India. He is a Super Randonneur (SR) and recently (February 2018) he completed SR in six days, the shortest time taken to finish a SR series of 600, 400, 300 and 200 km (1,500 km) rides, in 81 hours (allowed time 100 hours). This event was organised for the first time in India and, on the world stage, has only taken place in Spain. He is among the first few Indians who have achieved this feat, creating a record. Last month he finished another Brevet of 1,000 km (India Gate-Attari Border-India Gate) in 65 hours (allowed time 75 hours).

He has successfully completed all Brevet formats organised by Audax India under the aegis of Audax Club Parisian.

In August 2017, he finished an international cycling event - London-EdinburghLondon Brevet - popularly known as LEL of 1400 km, organised by Audax UK.

32 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

The LEL event takes place once every four years and is considered one of the most beautiful in terms of route profile, but toughest in the world, with its elevation and extreme weather conditions.

Strong headwinds, intermittent rains and variations in day-night temperature is very difficult to negotiate.

Singh has also scaled Yamunotri and Gangotri on cycle. He has been doing rides for social causes and also to spread awareness about cycling. In December 2017, he participated in the Konark International Cyclathon starting from the Konark Sun Temple near Puri to Koraput, riding through the rural areas of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.

He has been instrumental in organising the cyclathons by Air India during the observance of Vigilance Awareness Week. A passionate marathoner, he is running all over the country with Air India colours, finishing around 10 to 12 half marathons in a year from Leh to Kochi. His love for cycling and running is such that in 2017, he covered a distance of around 13,000 km on cycle and ran about 1,500 km. The distances covered by him are a small indication of his hard practice regime! And he has also made it a habit to travel to office on cycle!

shubh-yatra.in

I was travelling alone on the Lucknow-Delhi-Jaipur sector (AI 412/491) on February 25, when, while landing in Delhi, I started to sweat. I felt better with the overhead air flow but soon, due to vertigo, I was almost helpless. This kind air hostess approached me, and I asked if she could help me to the washroom, which she gracefully did. My condition worsened. I told the air hostess, who was waiting outside with her colleagues, that I needed to clean up, to which she told me that the washroom would be attended to.

In the meantime, she had called for a wheelchair and advised me to get immediate medical attention, and strictly instructed the wheelchair attendant not to leave me. I was taken to a hospital at the airport where the doctors instantly administered intravenous injections and gave me medicines. By that time, I had regained consciousness and insisted on continuing my journey to Jaipur even though the doctors advised against it. The same wheelchair attendant took me through all the security checks and to my seat in the connecting aircraft, just in time for departure. To my surprise, a wheelchair was requisitioned by the same thoughtful air hostess.

This timely help and thoughtfulness showed me a whole new side of the airline. I am wholeheartedly thankful for all the care and assistance I received.

Thank you, Vishwanathan Sinha, D.Sc Dept of Electronics & Communication Engineering Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur

A slice of Punjab in Mumbai Imagine gorging on butter chicken and lassi while sitting on a charpoy in a pind-like atmosphere in the heart of Mumbai! No wonder the sprawling Pritam Restaurant, with a legacy of over 75 years, has been such a hit with Bollywood stalwarts such as Raj Kapoor, Dharmendra, Dara Singh and Dilip Kumar, among others. At first glance, though, nothing in the ambience suggests its Punjab connection.

The restaurant is divided into two modern sitting areas. However, walk through the space, and you will suddenly find yourself in a courtyard with charpoys and lanterns strung on bamboo poles, along with a bar counter designed like a truck. Quite the dhaba feel, right in the middle of Dadar East!

The menu is predominantly Punjabi and north Indian, with a good mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian delicacies. From karari rotis to alu tikki, dal makhani and gosht ki nihari -- this is where you should head if you crave a hearty Delhistyle meal. Not to be missed are the machhi tikkas - soft, fresh and delicious.

The galauti kebabs, though not exactly melt-in-your-mouth, are well-prepared too. Roll up your sleeves and settle down with a delectable preparation of bhuna gosht and naan for the main course. For dessert, give the kullad ki firni a miss and bite into syrupy gulab jamuns instead.

"This exhibition was curated with the aim of nurturing public appreciation of sculpture as an art form. It also came with the intention of fostering closer ties between India and ASEAN, in collaboration with the Sculpture Society of Singapore," said the high commissioner. A few notable works among the displays were Aileen Tohâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Big Foot made from recycled steel wire, Adriana Sambrano de Hamiltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keep Calm and Contemplate sculpted in bronze, the Bodhisattvas by Satish Gupta, and OP Khare's vibrant canvas titled Gram Devta.

Said Vidhya Gnana Gouresan, the Singapore-based curator of the showcase, "The exhibition was about celebrating the universality of the practice of sculpting and about extolling the fluidity in concept and the inevitable human element in the artworks by the selected artists from both nations. Collaborative work is important as it enables the involved communities to appreciate, learn and evolve by coming into contact with differences that are contextual and physical, under a range of cultural specificities."

3. When in Palampur, do not forget to go paragliding

A Himalayan pit stop You won’t realise you are in a revolving restaurant till you look up and out of its huge glass windows about 10 minutes into hogging the delicious food. Wasn’t there a tree right there? How has it shifted to the right — or is it to the left? That’s when you notice the circular base of the restaurant — named Cloud 7 — rotating oh-so-slowly. No, you won’t feel giddy, just amazed at how many surprises this unassuming hill town throws up. Hike, glide, trek or just stop and watch life rushing past. At the postcard-pretty hill station of Palampur, choices are aplenty. A quaint town in the Kangra Valley, Palampur is surrounded by tea gardens and pine forests at the foothills of the mighty Dhauladhar range.

For me, it was supposed to be an extended weekend away from the city. And my hotel, RS Sarovar Portico - home to Cloud 7 -, added to my experience. The hotel is a unique property in the heart of the town, with each of its 43 rooms offering a USP of its own. One of its rooms, in fact, has a distinct duplex-like feel!

There’s a ladder that takes you straight to the upper tier of the room, which is equipped with a comfortable bed and a set-up of its own. This is not to say that the other rooms don’t give it a fair fight. But nothing beats the experience of sitting out on the Terrace restaurant with a drink, tucking into the many savouries the chef serves up, all the while taking in the view of snow-capped mountains. It’s a calm you’ll never experience in the city.

In the bustling Tel Aviv-Yafo municipality of Israel lies one of the oldest port cities in the world. Gustasp and Jeroo Irani take us on a guided tour

The air was filled with the aroma of grilled kebabs, freshly-baked breads and a miscellany of fragrances emanating from the numerous cafés and food stalls that lined the narrow streets of Jaffa’s (or Yafo’s) famous flea market, called Shuk HaPishpushim in Hebrew.

Rainbow hues of plump red pomegranates, sun-kissed oranges and bright greens painted the display shelves of vegetable and fruit shops. We made our way through a busy crowd, spotting local artists showcasing paintings, designer jewellery and other intriguing creations on makeshift display tables along the way. This marketplace in Israel’s ancient waterfront city left quite an impression on our senses. It was no less than a cultural melting pot, where wide-eyed tourists, locals and residents from Tel Aviv let their hair down.

The ancient port of Jaffa

Later, we strolled down the waterfront promenade, where a lighthouse overlooked a shoreline washed by the dark blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. Across the bay, Tel Aviv, with towering skyscrapers casting a shadow over its sandy beaches, glistened.

Unlike its modern landscape, which traces its origins to more recent times, Jaffa is one of the oldest port cities in the world, dating back to the biblical times. The latter is believed to be the ancient port from where the prophet Jonah sailed before being swallowed by the

The fort was part of the city citadel during the reign of Louis IX, the king of France.

Our guide Rolli, a charming lady of Indian origin settled in Israel, was, however, intent on giving us a peek into the modern and artistic avatar of Jaffa. Before we set off, we stopped at a local café to sample some traditional Israeli cuisine – hummus (a rich, creamy paste of chickpeas with a hint of nuts, sprinkled with olive oil), which we scooped up with pita bread.

A grilled gate; murals in brilliant colours on building walls; a brass door with intricate etchings; an altar tucked into a crevice between two buildings; musicians strumming on guitars... Despite the rain, we stopped to admire and photograph these sights, which added character to an ancient town that has now become a retreat for a number of modern artists.

Think health in a glass. Think nutrishakes. The perfect balance of protein, carbohydrates, healthy fats and other nutrients blended, chilled and served, is the best way to start your day. While there are several varieties of readymade nutrishakes available in the market, we suggest a fresh homemade one. Call them smoothies or nutritional shakes, they are great for weight loss or weight gain, whichever you desire.

They are also a smart option when you are on the go and can meet specific nutritional needs. In summer, they will also keep your body hydrated, boost immunity, keep infections at bay and keep you cool if you choose your ingredients carefully, in consultation with a certified dietician. Here are five nutritious shakes that you can easily whip up in your kitchen!

A breed of young Indian designers is engaging with global fashion using Indian workmanship, through an intercontinental vocabulary. Sharmi Adhikary talks to four of them, who have made a mark at the International Woolmark Prize 60 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

shubh-yatra.in

At the finale of the International Woolmark Prize held recently in Florence, Italy, renowned American designer Phillip Lim called the Indian fashion label Bodice “romantic, modern and relevant”.

Ruchika Sachdeva, the designer behind Bodice, stood humbled and elated. But then, for this young Delhi-based designer, elation has become a routine since her brand was selected as the womenswear winner at the prestigious fashion event in January 2018. She was especially praised for her technique and manufacturing process, also winning a cash prize of AU$200,000 (approximately `1 crore).

The first Indian woman to have won this coveted prize, Sachdeva is part of a new breed of Indian designers that has been able to tune into the global fashion arena without losing its Indian sensibilities. They have successfully translated their sartorial aesthetics, steeped in rich Indian crafts, embroideries and weaves, into a vocabulary that is not restricted by demography, geography or season.

Designer Suket Dhir, who was the 2015/2016 winner of the International Woolmark Prize in the menswear category, says, “My clothes do not have to be Indian, because I am Indian. When I envision a collection, I never think that it should represent India. For the winning line, I translated Indian ikat on Australian Merino wool, used Karnataka’s traditional kasuti embroidery, created ombre colour gradation through block printing, and used weaving and craft techniques from eight Indian states, to create a collection based on global silhouettes.

Innately inspired by India and my childhood memories, the clothes had nothing overtly traditional about them.”

The first Asian menswear designer to bag the prize, Dhir affirms that he has always designed for himself. With irreverent comic timing and an eye for whimsical prints and motifs, he says: “The trick is to tweak the visuals so that when anyone, anywhere, sees the Indiainspired details, they react with a twinkle in their eye.”

Fashion designer Rina Singh, whose label Eka was the winner in the womenswear category of the Woolmark regional round in 2016, shares, “Fashion is somewhat saturated across the globe. Now, the new movement is to make it relevant across cultures and consumers. If global brands can make clothes that cross boundaries, Indian garments are capable of doing that as well. A label like ours has a unique design language because it brings to the fore what is intrinsically Indian, presenting it in an elegant, easy way that can be enjoyed for its comfort.

Indian fashion is not only about trousseau and wedding wear. There is an India of Satyajit Ray, of Gandhiji and of Ruskin Bond. Of course, we are softer but the language of subtlety is gorgeous if denoted properly. Women across the world identify with it.”

1. An ensemble from Ruchika Sachdeva’s label, Bodice 2. A garment from Rina Singh’s collection

Singh, a graduate from Wigan & Leigh College, the UK, works mostly with linen, mulmul and khadi. Her Woolmark showcase was a sublime tribute to painter Amrita Sher-Gill using jamdani and wool in soft pastel shades.

This dream run of creativity was initiated in 2014, when designer Rahul Mishra had stunned the jury at Milan Fashion Week with his exceptional showcase. The first Indian fashion designer to win the International Woolmark Prize in the womenswear category, an honour earlier bestowed upon global icons like Karl Lagerfeld and Giorgio Armani, Mishra innovated with the main material through intricate embroidery, even while giving his garments a Western silhouette. Since then, the designer has been showcasing regularly at the Paris Fashion Week and has given Indian embroidery a new lease of life in the international fashion circuit.

“We mostly focus on trans-seasonal apparel. Fine and delicate embroidery is done on handwoven chanderi and other textiles to prove how India can go global,” explains Mishra, a graduate of the National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

The foundation is, of course, intelligent design - like in a jacket that displays miniature mango prints, a reference to the ambiya or the paisley, a prominent Indian pattern. “The world has woken up to the young and quirky side of Indian design. Why suggest Indianness with a traditional paisley when you can opt for a bright mango?” asks Dhir, a graduate of the National Institute of Fashion Technology. Adds Sachdeva, who graduated from the London College of Fashion, “A Bodice customer is someone who appreciates good design. She leads a busy life, juggles multiple roles and wants effortlessly stylish clothes. She lives in every country.”

shubh-yatra.in

For her winning collection that emphasised sustainable innovation, Sachdeva created sharp winter coats, high-neck tops, bomber jackets and dresses combining Merino wool and traditional kantha embroidery. “It’s the goal of a good design to communicate stories of a community and its culture through clothes, and make them relevant in the present.

The judges were surprised by how the garments were rooted in India but felt so relatable to international markets,” Sachdeva signs off.

From simple breathing exercises and stretching to strengthening the muscles around your spine, Dr Gerd Mueller suggests a few tips to avoid back pain during air travel

Flying, though enjoyable, can present a number of challenges to the health of a frequent traveller. Cramped leg room, being confined to a small space and extended periods of sitting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all affect the spine, resulting in back pain.

You can, however, strengthen your core muscles and those around your spine in the weeks leading up to your flight, and can follow a set of simple exercises before and during the flight to help alleviate the pain.

Placing a blanket roll or something similar behind your lower back will help maintain the natural curve of your spine - Dr Steffi Andrat Faria

Before flight

Stretch Stretching relaxes muscles, helps increase stamina and flexibility, and reduces the risk of injury during workouts among other health benefits. Stretch your neck, shoulder and lower body muscles regularly.

shubh-yatra.in

Easy exercises In the days leading up to your trip, it is important to remain active. If you have not been working out, there are chances that your back muscles might spasm during the flight. You can begin with some easy mobility exercises such as forward, backward and side bending, and spine rotation. Frequent flying involves long hours of sitting, thus affecting your lower back the most.

Workouts to enhance core stability and buttock strengthening exercises are a must to maintain a healthy lower back.

During flight

Take breaks Try not to sit in one position for more than an hour while flying. Attempt to get up and walk around for a few minutes every hour.

It will help keep your muscles active. Even

when you are seated, keep your muscles moving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; stretch your calves at regular intervals by pointing your toes down, and stretch your back muscles by bringing your knees up to your chest. These exercises also help in preventing muscle spasms.

Avoid sudden movements While stowing away your luggage in the overhead bin, be careful not to injure your shoulders. Stabilise your core by bending using both the hip and the knees to lift your luggage. Also, use both arms to lift, so that the weight is distributed equally.

Stay hydrated Keeping yourself hydrated is crucial for long-haul flights, as the temperature- and pressure-controlled cabin can cause dryness. Dehydration can worsen back pain, cause joints to stiffen and aggravate back problems. Try to avoid alcohol and caffeinated drinks, as these will dehydrate you further. Think of your trips to the washroom as a bonus, because they will give you opportunities to stretch.

Breathing exercises Simple breathing exercises not only help reduce stress, but also maintain the expansion of your thoracic spine (the area between the neck and the lower back, which forms a major part of your torso). This is

shubh-yatra.in

crucial for a healthy posture. Diaphragmatic breathing is one of the easiest exercises you can do while sitting.

For this, place one hand on your stomach, just below your ribcage, and the second hand on the centre of your chest. Breathe in deeply through your nostrils and let your first hand be pushed out by your stomach. Your chest should remain stationary.

Breathe out through your lips, slowly letting the hand on your stomach sink inwards.

Repeat at least three times.

Active sitting A constant posture while sitting can result in increasing pain in the back and neck. So try to sit actively, change your posture once in a while. The more you move and alter your posture, the better you will feel. Also when you are sitting your shoulders should be back and down, and supported by the back rest of your seat.

These are a few simple steps that you can follow to avoid or alleviate pain during and after a flight. But if the pain persists, consult a doctor.

A sign of three Every good novel is a combination of entertainment, education and enlightenment, says bestselling author Ashwin Sanghi

When I was a little boy, my literary education began at the hands of my grand-uncle, who lived in Kanpur. He was a voracious reader, a poet and a hard-nosed businessman, and his greatest treasure was his library, its shelves lined with hundreds of books from across the ages. A multilingual littérateur (he was fluent in English, Hindi, Urdu, Persian and Sanskrit, among other languages), he would say to me: “Ashwin, the world will always tell you to follow Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth.

But remember, Lakshmi is inseparable from Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom.”

He would send me a new book every week, each volume carefully handpicked to impart a particular lesson. My collection from nanaji, as I called him, comprises nearly 400 books,

68 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

including early editions of Richard Bach’s Jonathan Livingston Seagull, C Rajagopalachari’s Mahabharata, a rare edition of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, and even Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda, which he sent me when I was 13 years old!

While his was one literary stream flowing through my consciousness, another stream came from my mother, who would only read paperbacks – Jeffrey Archer, Sydney Sheldon, Harold Robbins... Reading the books she gave me felt like feasting on a thoroughly satisfying burger – I would consume each volume easily, quickly, and then wonder where it went. Subsequently, I loved the content that came from nanaji

I remember taking an Air India flight with my family from Mumbai to London via Rome in the mid-70s. It was my father’s birthday, and the cabin crew had been kind enough to arrange a cake as well as a bottle of Champagne for him! That celebration remains to this day a very fond memory Author Ashwin Sanghi

and the entertainment that came from my mother. Looking back, I now understand that the two streams came together in my consciousness to shape the author I eventually became - all the books I have written have comprised a combination of relevant content and entertainment.

Sanghi’s latest literary outing, Keepers of the Kalachakra, is published by Westland

As I grew older and decided to pursue an MBA, I realised that my family’s business background had drilled into me the practice of being organised to the smallest detail. And this has been immensely useful for my work as an author too. I believe that you cannot pen a novel without being meticulously organised. Till date, I create my plot outlines on spreadsheets, and have found that the format lends itself surprisingly well to the process of writing!

I offer as an instance my writing of The Sialkot Saga, which followed the lives of two boys from 1947 to 2011. In my spreadsheet, the first column stated the year, the second stated the characters’ corresponding ages, the third explored what they would have been doing at that particular point in time, the fourth delineated the political, economic, social and cultural scenario of each particular year in India and finally, the last column contained the progress of the story in that year. As an author, once you’ve spent a few months

70 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

shubh-yatra.in

putting a frame like this together, the actual writing of the novel becomes effortless. And this is a lesson I have learnt from the business side of my professional spectrum.

Armed with the books I had read growing up, and the organisational skills I had developed as a student and entrepreneur, my attempt as a writer has been to strike a balance between the three things I consider seminal to a good book: entertainment, education and enlightenment.

In Keepers of the Kalachakra, the fifth book in my Bharat series, my objective has been to delve into Buddhism as well as a little bit of quantum physics. As complex as some of the concepts I have touched upon in the narrative are, I have attempted to simplify them in such a way that the book remains engaging as an easy read.

If any of my readers are able to learn something new or, alternatively, gain a new perspective on something familiar, my task as an author stands accomplished.

If any of my books are able to impart entertainment, education and enlightenment to even a single reader, I have done my job well.

However, leaving behind this colonial history, the present era is an era of ‘reverse colonialism’ as has been stated by sociologist Anthony Giddens. With the strong growth of Indian MNCs in the UK, these companies have greatly contributed to the economy of the United Kingdom.

It is evident from the fact that there is a regular flow of ministerial visits in both directions, signalling the importance and intensity of the India-UK economic relationship.

Since the significant shift to liberalise and internationalise the economy by India in the early 1990s, both India and the UK have strengthened their economic ties. The visit of the Indian Prime Minister to the UK in 2015 that followed the visit of the UK’s Prime Minister Theresa May to India in November 2016 saw a renewed attempt to further strengthen the India-UK strategic partnership.

The member nations are set to discuss facilitating trade among the Commonwealth countries. The summit is also significant as India is going to play a leading role in the Commonwealth because of its increasing economic prowess.

The CHOGM is expected to discuss facilitating trade among Commonwealth countries.

The CHOGM will provide an opportunity for the UK, India and all Commonwealth members to build a reformed and revitalised Commonwealth that is more prosperous, secure, sustainable and fair for all the citizens. The intraCommonwealth trade is to the tune of US $800 billion, and Hitchens said the target is to take it US $1 trillion.

Britain’s exit from EU) and the contours of economic relations are set to be revamped. India is concerned over Britain’s tough stance on movement of professionals and students between the two nation. According to a UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spokesperson, “Our economic relationship is thriving and we want to expand our 16 billion pounds worth of bilateral trade, generating jobs and building skills in the coming years, especially looking ahead to intensifying our trade relationship after Britain leaves the EU.” During the CHOGM summit, India will discuss the much awaited free trade agreement (FTA) between India

and the UK that will increase bilateral trade by 26 per cent per annum, according to a Commonwealth report. The Commonwealth Secretariat report last year said that if both the countries enter into a FTA and bring down their tariffs to zero, it is likely to have a greater impact on India than the UK. India’s imports from the UK are estimated to increase from US $5.2 billion to US $7.8 billion, i.e. almost 50 per cent rise per annum if there was an IndiaUK FTA post Brexit.

Last year, when the London mayor Sadiq Khan visited India, he said he was lobbying with the British government to change its stringent visa norms, which he termed as a big mistake. After that, the Theresa May government changed its visa policy for non-European Union (EU) nationals.

Following in Lord Buddha’s footsteps, P Ritu embarks on a soulful journey across Buddhist pilgrimage sites in India and Nepal

A week after his Enlightenment, Gautam Buddha embarked on a journey from under the shade of the Bodhi tree. This, perhaps, continued for the rest of his life as he went about spreading the truth. Not in a hurry to arrive anywhere, he just kept walking…

Today, over 2,000 years later, scores of pilgrims seeking salvation retrace Lord Buddha’s steps, as ordained in the Mahaparinirvana Sutra. One cold January afternoon, I found myself among one such group, some among us visitors from China, at the quaint Safdarjung railway station in New Delhi, waiting to board the Mahaparinirvan Express train, which travels across most Buddhist landmarks in India.

Our first stop was Gaya, and I was excited about visiting Bodhgaya - approximately 15 km away - at a time when the Dalai Lama was present for the 34th Kalachakra Initiations. The first Kalachakra Initiation was given by Lord Buddha himself to his disciples thousands of years ago.

With the Kalachakra Initiations on, the town was a mishmash of vibrant colours and tourists from across the globe, as the air reverberated with rhythmic Buddhist chanting. Our first stop was the famous Mahabodhi (Bodhi) tree, under which prince Siddhartha (Lord Buddha) had attained Enlightenment.

The next morning, we travelled to neighbouring Rajgir. Buddha not only spent many years in this scenic town but also delivered sermons here and proselytised emperor Bimbisar at the Griddhakoota hill.

Approximately 13 km from Rajgir lie the ruins of the famed Nalanda University, the great seat of learning in ancient India. Though

Lord Buddha visited Nalanda several times, this centre of Buddhist learning shot to fame during the 5th to 12th centuries. It was the first residential international university in the world: 2,000 teachers and 10,000 monk students lived and studied here. Today, the ruins of the university hark back to a long-lost era, and just 14 hectare of the total area have been excavated. Nearby, the Nalanda Archaeological Museum exhibits sculptures and archaeological finds from these ruins.

Sarnath

Approximately 10 km away from Varanasi, Sarnath is where the Buddha is believed to have delivered his first sermon, sanctified as Maha Dharm Chakra Parivartan. It is a small, touristy town with tree-lined roads winding through ruins of magnificent stupas and monasteries. Here, peaceful saffron-clad monks capture the beauty of the busy streets, and their surroundings, with modern-day gadgets.

Alighting in Gorakhpur, we drove to Sonauli on the Indo-Nepal border. Lumbini, the site of Lord Buddha’s birth, is a short distance away from the border. After visa procedures, we entered Nepal. The newborn prince Siddhartha is believed to have taken seven steps and uttered a timeless message in the beautiful Sal grove, which is now the focal point of the Lumbini Garden area. It is believed that Maya Devi, the queen of Shakya king Suddhodhana of Kapilvastu, gave birth to the prince while passing through the Lumbini Garden in 623 BC. I ran into Basanta Bidari, the retired chief archaeologist, Lumbini Development Trust, who, in 1996, had discovered a marker stone placed by emperor Ashoka, citing the spot of the Buddha’s birth, inside the Maya Devi temple.

Sravasti

Sravasti, 15 km from Bahraich, was our next stop. Lord Buddha is said to have spent

27 years here. Today, the town boasts excellently-preserved ruins, an ancient Bodhi Vriksh (tree) and a World Peace Bell, established with help from Japan. The capital of the ancient Khosla kingdom, Sravasti has been identified with the remains at SahethMaheth, situated on the banks of River Rapti.

On the last leg of our trip, we did a quick round of the Taj Mahal in Agra, a must on any tourist itinerary in India. On our return, as we sat chatting over tea and pakoras, I realised that I had nearly finished reading my second book of the journey.

My bookmark, with a picture of the Buddha, read: Take my hand… As I walk. I only walk.

Peacefully. Happily. I walk. Without arriving anywhere. I walk for myself. I walk for everyone. I walk…

Setting up a robust

defence production ecosystem Dr Ajay Kumar, Secretary, Department of Defence Production, in an interview with Naveed Anjum, talks about fast-track defence procurement processes and focus on R&D What can you tell us about the speeding up of arms procurement processes today?

Procurement is today happening faster than ever before. In fact, after the release of DPP 2016, processes have been streamlined. The defence minister is absolutely determined that two meetings of the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) be held every month. All the proposals come to these meetings for being reviewed and strict timelines are defined with respect to their implementation.There have been delays in the past due to various complications but whatever has been approved in the recent past (since I have joined), I have seen absolutely no delays with.

India has decided to set up two defence industrial corridors in Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh. Could you tell us about them in a little detail?

This is part of a larger effort to promote the defence production ecosystem in the country. This ecosystem is believed to work efficiently in geographically connected areas. The whole supply chain is able to cater to what the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) need. Our idea is to create two such ecosystems where everything, right from the input materials and the components to the sub-assemblies and the final product, would enjoy a favourable environment for being manufactured. This is not to say that other places will not be touched, but in these areas we will have the basic infrastructure like testing, R&D,

82 I Shubh Yatra I APRIL 2018

innovation, incubation and, of course, the industrial supply chain.

How are you planning to make R&D in the defence sector more robust?

DRDO is leading the R&D efforts in a very big way and they have been doing a significant job. We now want to supplement that effort with the startup initiative. India is now the world’s second largest start-up ecosystem.

We have nearly 25,000 start-ups and nearly three to four new start-ups are coming up in areas of technology.

Nearly $10-12 billion of venture capital is flowing into it. We want to leverage this start-up ecosystem in the defence sector. It is now acknowledged that the latest technology is coming at a faster rate from start-ups. In India, where we have such a fertile ground for startups, we need to leverage these into our defence ecosystem.

How big an event is Defexpo 2018 going to be and what special arrangements have been made this year?

This year’s Defexpo is a watershed event. It is totally different from its previous editions. This year, the main aim of the event is to highlight India’s capabilities in defence manufacturing.

In fact, the theme of this edition is India as an emerging defence manufacturing hub. We will be showcasing our manufacturing capabilities on naval, aero and land system platforms.

There will be a Defexpo pavilion where some of our top capabilities like LCA Tejas, LCH, Su-30, Mirage,

shubh-yatra.in

Dornier-228 and other flying platforms will be on display. Similarly, we have a very vibrant aero component industry today that is supplying not only to our companies but to other companies in the world as well. There are companies that are supplying these components to Airbus, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. In addition, we also have a lot of start-ups which are into UAV business and we want to showcase them too. On the naval side, we have a whole range of products.

In fact, I would like to add that there is no kind of naval vessel which we don’t make - whether it’s a submarine, corvettes or minesweepers. Everything is manufactured in India. We have a Naval Design House, which is something only a few countries in the world have. On the land systems side, we have world-class missile systems like BrahMos, Akash and Pinaka. We have our tank systems like Arjun, T-72, T-90, heavy armoured vehicles and

so on. On the body armour front, you would be surprised to know that one of our companies is supplying shoes to the Israeli army. We are going to be showcasing the capabilities of our public sector as well as private sector companies. For the first time, we will showcase our Land, Aero and Naval systems live during this edition of Defexpo. The live show will be held on two days i.e. on the inaugural day and the last day, for the general public. All our Naval Systems will be brought to the Chennai port for live viewing.

The Emerging Defence Manufacturing Hub India is emerging as a potential defence manufacturing hub with an extensive push being given to indigenisation, writes Naveed Anjum

You have recently released a Draft Defence Production Policy 2018. Tell us a little bit about it...

Draft Defence Production Policy has been released, although it is still a draft.

One of the proposals in the draft that is subject to approval by the government is that in niche areas where we don’t have technology, we would like to increase FDI from 49% to 74%. The idea is that rather than importing, if we can even have a foreign company coming in and manufacturing, it will give a big fillip to our defence manufacturing capability.

What is going to be the future of LCA Tejas if companies like Lockheed Martin and Saab set up manufacturing bases in India?

When it comes to fourth generation aircraft, LCA Tejas is as good as the best in the world. It will become more robust when it starts flying. Today, we have few Tejas aircraft flying. In terms of its specifications and performance, all those who have flown in this aircraft have given their thumbs up.

This does not mean that we will not work on the fifth generation aircraft, and this also doesn’t mean that Tejas is the culmination of our efforts in this direction. We will strive for the next generation aircraft. We must also recognise that the requirements of the defence forces are the most important, and we need to make sure that whatever is required to meet the defence needs of the country is fulfilled.

“We have the reputation as the largest importer of defence equipment in the world. This is one area where we would not like to be number one.” These were the lines once said by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Aero India Show 2015 in Bengaluru. Since then, the government of India has made several leaps into defence manufacturing, attracting several foreign players to set up their defence manufacturing units in India. Defexpo 2018, which has become one of the largest events of its kind in the world, will, for the first time, project India’s defence manufacturing capabilities to the world. This has generated tremendous enthusiasm amongst domestic industries to showcase their indigenously manufactured platforms and components. This year, the event has been shifted to Chennai and

will be held from April 11-14, 2018.

The countries who have confirmed participation include major defence manufacturing nations like USA, the UK, Russia, France, Israel, Korea and Sweden, among others.

“This year’s Defexpo is a watershed event. Its totally different from its previous editions. This year, the main theme of Defexpo is to highlight India’s capabilities in defence manufacturing,” said Dr Ajay Kumar, Secretary, Department of Defence Production in his interview to Shubh Yatra. He also added that for the first time, India will showcase its land, aero and naval systems live during this edition of Defexpo.

The efforts to focus on indigenous manufacturing have paid off as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) over a few years has unveiled several indigenous products being manufactured in India

the Chennai port for live viewing. The event is a perfect platform to brand India as a defence exporter of various defence systems and components for all the three services - Army, Navy and Air Force. Apart from this, India’s robust and fast-growing private sector defence companies along with MSMEs will also showcase their innovative platforms that will help them to spread a base for manufacturing defence subsystems.

Changing Times The efforts to focus on indigenous manufacturing have paid off as the Ministry of Defence (MoD) over a few years has unveiled several indigenous products being manufactured in India (according to Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion report). The most important are HAL’s Tejas Light Combat Aircraft, the composites Sonar dome, a portable Telemedicine System for armed forces, Penetration-cumBlast (PCB) and Thermobaric (TB) ammunition specifically designed for Arjun tanks, a heavyweight torpedo called Varunastra manufactured with 95 per cent locally sourced parts and medium-range surface-to-air missile (MRSAM). With a Naval Design House, Indian Navy has been instrumental in the indigenisation capabilities. Today, there is no such naval platform that the Indian Navy is unable to manufacture.

84 I Shubh Yatra I APRIL 2018

India’s defence production has progressively increased from `43,746 crore in 2013-14 to `55,894 crore in 2016-17. Defence PSUs like HAL in aero; MDL, GRSE, GSL and HSL in naval; BDL, BEML, MIDHANI and OFBs in land systems; and BEL in electronics have emerged as significant players in the defence production ecosystem in the country.

Draft Defence Production Policy 2018 As announced in the General Budget 2018-19, the government has formulated a draft Defence Production Policy 2018 that is aimed at promoting domestic production by the public sector, private sector and MSMEs. The major highlight of this draft is the proposal to increase the foreign direct investment (FDI) cap in niche technology areas to 74 per cent under the automatic route, in a bid to boost

shubh-yatra.in

local manufacturing and catapult India into the league of countries housing top defence and aerospace industries.

Export Potential India has also been focusing on the export potential of its military products as many nations have shown interest in defence gear and products designed and developed by India. India has a huge potential to export defence products, like equipment and spares, manufactured in India . These include patrol vessels, sonars and radars, avionics, radar warning receivers (RWR), small arms, ammunition and other communication equipment.

There is still a long way to go in terms of achieving the goals of indigenisation with more industry friendly policies and a rational approach towards Transfer of Technology (ToT).

Ordnance Factory Board Securing the Nation

OFB’s mission is production of state-of-the-art battlefield equipment

O

rdnance Factory Board (OFB), comprising 41 units, is the oldest and largest defence production organisation in India functioning under the aegis of the Department of Defence Production of Ministry of Defence.

Sunil Kumar Chourasia DGOF and Chairman Sunil Kumar Chourasia is the Director General of Ordnance Factories (DGOF) and Chairman of the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB). Previously, he was Member, OFB and was in charge of the material and components division.

Graduating in mechanical engineering from Jabalpur and thereafter earning an MTech from IIT Kanpur, Shri Chourasia joined Indian Ordnance Factories Service (IOFS) in 1981. He was in the Indian Institute of Public Administration, New Delhi during in-service training and was awarded an MPhil. During his tenure in the Ordnance Factories’ organisation, he gathered rich and varied experience in production and operations management, weapon and ammunition manufacturing. He was selected to work in Government of India as Deputy Secretary and thereafter Director in Ministry of Defence from 1992 to 1997.

Factories are not only upgrading existing products but also developing new weapon platforms. Approximately 22 per cent of the turnover of OFB is from products developed indigenously by Ordnance Factories. OFB has taken a proactive approach and has identified certain growth driver projects for target-oriented R&D. 61 items designed and developed by Ordnance Factories are in service with Indian Armed Forces.

The major products developed through in-house R&D are 155mm artillery gun ‘Dhanush’, upgunning of 130mm artillery gun to 155 mm x 45, mine-protected vehicle (MPV) and modernised mineprotected vehicle (MMPV), bi-modular charge system (BMCS) for 155mm artillery

Research & Development (R&D) R&D is being conducted at OFB in a structured manner since 2006 with the establishment of 13 Ordnance Development Centres (ODCs). With the assistance of premier academic institutions like IITs at Mumbai, Kanpur and Kharagpur, to name a few, the Ordnance

Indigenisation and Make-in-India OFB has set high standards of indigenous manufacture and has achieved 87 per cent overall indigenisation. Moreover, OFB has developed the indigenous defence industrial complex in the country by nurturing about 4,000 vendors, keeping import substitution as its working mantra. To take these efforts further, OFB has offered more than 20 items for

The Union Government’s innovative concept of ‘Make in India’ has opened up a plethora of opportunities in the defence sector. As a result, India’s growth will gallop in the days to come.

At the same time, ‘Make in India’ has made the defence sector competitive.

OFB, however, would like to capitalise on these prospects to emerge as the single-largest dependable indigenous source to the Armed Forces.

The organisation is moving forward to metamorphose into a complete combat solutions provider. OFB has transformed from a manufacturer and technology recipient to a system integrator.

Recent Success Stories OFB has successfully completed the user evaluation of 130/155 mm

upgunning, where it emerged as the single acceptable offer. OFB has offered a 100 per cent indigenous solution. Private competitors fielding imported equipment from leading world manufacturers in this field could not meet user requirements. The achievement makes a strong statement about OFB’s in-depth knowledge and skill in gun manufacturing.

Till now, ammunition electronics was not OFB’s core competence. Yet, through grit and determination, OFB has developed electronic fuzes to meet the pressing demands of the Army. This item too has huge export requirements.

With its strong technical and infrastructural foundation, OFB is confident of overcoming the challenges of competition and moving ahead on the planned growth path by providing quality defence products to the Indian Army, Navy and Air Force.

city. I spend almost the entire day at Central Park, ambling, halting, paying homage at Imagine Mosaic (a tribute to New York resident John Lennon), in the park’s Strawberry Fields, and even playing a game of chess at the Chess & Checkers House. That evening, as I walk back after dinner to my hotel, located near the Columbus Circle, I pass Central Park again. It’s abuzz with joggers, children and families, music still emanating from somewhere in its woods. The best part of Central Park is that it reflects the true soul of the Big Apple - it lets one be. No questions asked, no eyebrows raised, no feathers ruffled.

The next day, I start with Bryant Park, situated in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, behind the New York Public Library’s main branch. A quick walking lunch from one of the omnipresent food trucks later, I enter the park and settle down for a spot of peoplewatching. For locals, it’s the go-to lunch site - men and women in formal wear taking a break on the lawns with

a sandwich in hand, and rushed commuters passing by.

Most of all, I enjoy my trek along one of New York’s most popular and distinctive parks - the beautifully landscaped High Line. Built on a once-abandoned elevated rail line, the green space offers unparalleled views of Manhattan’s far west side. I begin walking in Gansevoort St, making a small detour to the Chelsea food market, and then on the mile-long elevated track, above the gallery-filled neighbourhood, ending in the chic Meatpacking District. I enjoy the wild flowers and greenery that have been cultivated, the art installations ranging from quirky to serious, alongside fountains and benches for lounging.

Another tiny park I stop by is the Battery, a 25-acre waterfront hub of outdoor activity. As I walk along the park’s waterfront, I am entranced by the views of the Statue of Liberty, the shimmering skyline of Manhattan and the Hudson river.

Next, I head to Brooklyn Bridge Park on the shores of the East River, overlooking the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan. The park features multiple piers.

With rolling lawns, playgrounds, a spiral pool, a boat ramp, a restored vintage carousel (Jane’s Carousel) and pedestrian paths, this park is a pleasure to explore. I sit on a bench and watch the parade of boats floating by.

Across the water, the One World Trade Center stands proud against the brilliant cerulean sky, its glass facade reflecting mini-NYCs several times over. At a distance stands the Statue of Liberty, barely a speck from where I am, but its silhouette distinct nonetheless. I take in the iconic skyline, letting the spirit of New York sink in one last time.

Filmistaan, a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Yasmin Kidwai that delves deep into Bollywood, has been making waves at international film festivals, writes Aekta Kapoor 100 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

shubh-yatra.in

The city of dreams and the land of dream weavers - that’s Bollywood for you. No other institution in India has done as much to create happiness and hope for its people, and build bridges with the rest of the world, as the Indian film industry. Bollywood the informal term assigned to Hindi cinema made in Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) - has now come to encompass not just the films themselves but everything else associated with them – the stars, the studios, the glamour and the grit. From Guwahati to Gandhinagar, practically every Indian has, at some point, been affected by the stories he or she has watched on a 70-mm screen, and the actors who have played larger-than-life characters in them. As the numerous international fans – from the alleys of Addis Ababa to the highways of Berlin – also prove, there’s something about Hindi films that you cannot resist, whether you know the language or not.

In an effort to capture the magic of Hindi movies, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, roped in award-winning filmmaker Yasmin Kidwai to make a documentary that would go behind the scenes and bring to the fore the fundamental identity of Bollywood. What is it that makes our films so relatable to cultures around the world? Why are film stars worshipped like gods? In a country of hundreds of communities and several religions, how do Hindi films manage to inspire and assimilate everyone in their fold? What makes this the most ‘cosmopolitan’ of Indian art forms?

Kidwai, who has made over two dozen films in her career, had her work cut out for her: how does one capture a composite culture spanning over 100 years in 60 minutes? But the filmmaker, whose documentary No

Problem! – Six Months with the Barefoot Grandmamas has won over 20 awards at film festivals worldwide, has done a commendable job this time too. Filmistaan – literally, the country of films – features the biggest names in Bollywood. From popular actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Saif Ali Khan, Irrfan Khan, Sonam Kapoor, John Abraham, Javed Jaffrey, Jacqueline Fernandez, Taapsee Pannu and Jackie Shroff, to other members of the industry including Oscar-winning sound designer Resul Pookutty, the film is peppered with fascinating experiences – from the way fans idolise them to how they decipher their own star power, and what makes Hindi cinema so irresistible.

Lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar talks about the inherent secularism of Bollywood films, which are largely ‘Hindustani’ in language and voice, inspired by different elements of Hindi and Urdu. Actor and TV personality Annu Kapoor has an interesting take on the word ‘Bharat’, which he says is the coming together of bhav (emotion), ras (gist) and taal (beat), which are also, in effect, the essential ingredients of Bollywood films. Filmmakers Aseem Mishra and Pooja Bhatt, film critics Anupama Chopra and Komal Nahta, costume designer Niharika Bhasin Khan and screenplay stalwart Salim Khan also share intriguing insights from their own perspectives of the industry.

“The unifying features in most Bollywood films are family values and the triumph of good over evil. All this is communicated in a very emotional way, which you understand even if you don’t know the language. That accounts for its global appeal,” says

former spokesperson of the MEA, Vikas Swarup, who spearheaded the project and believes that Bollywood carries with it a pan-Indian consciousness. “It packages India in a very nifty way for outsiders, and can be considered our best cultural export.” He is appreciative of the way Kidwai has handled the production aspects of the film, getting the biggest stakeholders on board and depicting the hard work behind the characters on screen. Released in 2017, the film is now being screened at film festivals in India and around the world.

It took Kidwai over a year to shoot Filmistaan, which included extensive travelling - from famous Mumbai film studios to locations in Uttar Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir 102 I Shubh Yatra I april 2018

It took Kidwai over a year to shoot Filmistaan, which included extensive travelling - from famous Mumbai film studios to locations in Uttar Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. She met fans of Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, who idolised them to the point of making temples for their heroes at home and covering entire walls with their pictures. She interacted with movie buffs from Kerala who travelled to Mumbai on the day of their favourite actor’s film release, and others from Kolkata who stood in long queues to get a glimpse of their icons. The film also covers

shubh-yatra.in

locations in the UK, the US and Canada, where Bollywood stars have performed in dance shows. The sheer devotion, excitement and vitality of the audience “leaves you with gooseflesh”, actor Abhishek Bachchan says in the film. Indeed, foreign audiences are even more enthralled by Bollywood stars than those in India, as the visuals in the film testify.

Co-director Fazal Kidwai recalls shooting the crowds outside Shah Rukh Khan’s house on his birthday: “It was mindblowing - the undiluted, raw energy. It was pure love at its best; the crowds were not organised, they didn’t even know if SRK was in town and yet, they waited.”

The team was also moved by an experience at Dal Lake in Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir, where they had been looking for an appropriate place to shoot. “It was the best time and light to capture the hues of the lake,” the filmmaker narrates. “Suddenly, we heard this haunting voice across the still water. Someone was humming an old Hindi movie song. It was mesmerising.

That’s what really set the tone of the film

tering flag expresses better than the stomp of military boots. One size does not fit all, there is my way and yours and many others, and we can all get along,” the director says and adds that her film imagines India as its founders did: sovereign, secular, socialist, democratic - ideas that are endorsed in Bollywood. “Hindi films, even jingoistic ones, have repeatedly trodden this line, imagining economic prosperity and rights for all.” As actor Saif Ali Khan says in the documentary, “If democracy means people power, then this is the ultimate democracy.”

You may not call a Hindi film mystical; it has that homely feeling,” says Kidwai, whose Delhi-based company has produced an impressive repertoire of films: from Purdah, exploring a woman’s relationship with her veil, to Chukker – About Polo, which looks at the evolution of the game in India.

“That smell of the soil of home, replete with everything that it means - the familiar, the comfortable, the private and the personal. It is this that Bollywood represents: an expression of the idea that India is more than one community or religion, and that a flut-

That’s what Filmistaan highlights – “A shared culture giving dignity and acceptability to even the marginalised - a pillar of the foundation of the India we live in,” she says. It is an idealistic dream, the expression of India’s soft power and a celebration of India’s place in the heart of the world.

“Why do you watch Hindi films, my films, every day?” Amitabh Bachchan had once asked his father. “Because I will get poetic justice in three hours,” his father had replied, “in a way you and I will not get in this lifetime or several lifetimes.” And that, as Bachchan says in Filmistaan, “is what Hindi cinema is all about”.

Labour of love

National Award-winning director Onir talks to Shillpi A Singh about his recently released movie, Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz, which has been making waves at international film festivals

Onir’s latest directorial is a love story

Flying Air India feels like home. On a recent trip from New York to Mumbai, I had fallen asleep, when an air hostess suggested that I go and sleep comfortably in the last row, which is a crew rest area. Such kind gestures make flying with Air India a pleasant experience Onir

At first glance, Onir’s latest directorial venture, Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz (released on February 16), may look like your regular run-of-the-mill love story, but take a closer look and you’ll find something different. The movie boasts three National Award winners: the director, the female lead (Geetanjali Thapa) and the editor (Irene Dhar Malik).

It also introduces two exciting newcomers: Zain Khan Durrani (male lead) and Abhishek Chatterjee (story, screenplay and dialogues). And although composer Shashwat Srivastava is credited for the background score, the film has no original songs. All the tracks are from old Hindi movies, and all of them hit the right notes.

Onir has here, for the first time, attempted a true-blue romance. Shot entirely in Kolkata, the movie captures the essence of the city – its people,

yellow taxis and bustling fish markets – and weaves into it the lives of his two lead characters.

When and how did you decide to embark on this project?

While I was a jury member at the Drishyam Sundance Screenwriting Lab in 2016, I read Abhishek [Chatterjee’s] script and fell in love with it. Although I did not know the meaning of the word alfaaz at the time, I liked the title.

Moreover, I had never done a romantic film before, and that was reason enough.

Using Pehla nasha, from the 1992 film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, as the theme song of your film adds an oldworld charm to the storytelling...

I have many beautiful memories associated with the song as well as with the movie. I was in college when I watched Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, and this particular melody has stayed with me ever

I wanted to portray that beauty is beyond external appearances.

since. Also, the track fit the script and I did not want to remix or recreate the song because it is beautiful the way it is. And SaReGaMa [the music label] being on board helped, as it not only has an extensive music library but also the copyrights of all the old romantic songs in the film.

Can you tell us a little about the story, as well as the context it is set within?

The movie is about the courage to fall in love again after a heartbreak.

It narrates the story of Alfaaz, a radio jockey who anchors the night-time show Kuchh Bheege Alfaaz, and

‘My attempt has always been to tell stories that no one has told before, because, in the process, I grow as an individual’

Archana, an artist who is battling her own insecurities and dealing with vitiligo, a skin condition. Alfaaz meets Archana over a misdialled call and they find their way into each other’s hearts, keeping their identities hidden from each other till they meet towards the end of the movie. It is a simple and endearing tale of love, loneliness and longing that blossoms in the age of social media.

The film also throws light on vitiligo, or leucoderma, not much explored in Hindi cinema. How did you approach the subject?

My attempt has always been to tell stories that no one has told before, because, in the process, I grow as an individual. In this film, I have included leucoderma, as the subject touched me, but the film doesn’t revolve around it. Yes, Archana has her set of complexes but then, through her, I have tried to emphasise that it is more important to love oneself and accept one’s flaws with a smile.

Tell us about the casting process, and the preparation that went into each role.

I had first met Zain when he auditioned for Shab. But since the role went to Ashish [Bisht], Zain assisted me as a director in the film, as well as in the documentary Raising the Bar. When I read Abhishek’s script, I knew Zain was perfect for the role. He auditioned, and even the producers felt that he fit the part. Geetanjali [Thapa] is full of life – simple, affectionate and affable.

These were the features that made her closely resemble Archana. After finalising the cast, we held workshops to help the actors understand their characters. In the film, the characters communicate only through calls and messages, and do not come face to face till the end. I wanted to capture that raw emotion. So, even when the actors were attending workshops or shooting, my team ensured that they didn’t bump into each other.

They met only during the scene where their characters meet in the movie. What you see on screen, then, is a real emotion that arises from meeting someone you have only been speaking to for a long time.

Tell us about your next venture.

My next film is titled Driving Lesson.

It has been jointly written by Abhishek and Tannishtha Chatterjee, and the latter will also act in the movie alongside Ashish [Bisht]. The story will unfold at a driving school and bring together two people from different social backgrounds.

Young and Trendy Offices Quirky workplaces that incorporate open spaces, vibrant interiors and much more

Chegg, Delhi: Designed and executed by Cherry Hill Interiors

Cherry Hill Interiors Pvt Ltd is a leading pan-India player in corporate interiors. The company is creating trendy workplaces with the following concepts: Third Place Concept These are social surroundings separate from the two usual social environments - home and workplace - such as cafes, libraries, etc, which add to an employees' benefits and satisfaction.

Open Collaborative Space Meeting zones that are in the open, and not enclosed, are becoming more popular. They are constructed within the office landscape, keeping nature as the key design, to encourage and promote increased collaboration and flexibility.

Play with Colour Colours reflect shades of optimism, and are believed to trigger innovation. It is best for environments where writers, developers and other creative professionals work.

Reducing the Wall Concept With alternative materials to divide and define office spaces such as nature-inspired bamboo walls with shrubbery, metal display cabinets and acoustic panels, traditional wall partitions are becoming less popular.

Breakout Area Such spaces allow the staff to unwind with beanbags, yoga mats and more. The belief is that staff members are less productive and not at their creative best when they are tired. www.cherryhill.in - Specialist in LEED-certified green building projects

THE AVITOURISM DESTINATION Mizoram having a tropical evergreen forest is an ideal destination for birdwatching. Avitourism is developing into a major tourist industry as footfall is increasing by the day. Birdwatchers take pride in identifying and spotting rare birds like the blue pitta, yellowvented flowerpecker, Chinese sparrow, hodgoson’s frogmouth, large scimitar babbler, yellow breasted greenfinch, Mrs Hume’s pheasant, greentailed sunbird, firetailed sunbird and white cheeked partridge to name a few. More than 500 species of exotic birds have been identified, many of which are amongst the endangered list. Destinations like the Blue Mountains (Phawngpui Tlang), Dampa Tiger Reserve, Murlen National Park, Palak Wetlands, Lengteng Wildlife Sanctuary, Reiek, and a few other places have a lot to offer.

Directorate of tourism Government of Mizoram New Secretariat Complex, Khatla, Aizawl, Mizoram 796005 M: +91 389 2333475, email: mizoram.tourism@gmail.com or www.tourism.mizoram.gov.in

There are a few tour operators and individual tour guides recognised by tourism department, Government of Mizoram, who specialise in leading birdwatching trips. The best time for avitourism in Mizoram is between October and April. Mizoram is accessible by air from Delhi, Kolkata and Guwahati and via Assam by road. Visit Mizoram, “Songbird of the North East”, to be mesmerised and enchanted by these flying beauties.

Meeting with an old friend I met up with an old friend the other day. He is around 40 years old and fairly well placed in life - has a wife and two children, aged eight and four.

He works in a private limited company as an AVP. It seemed things were going well for him, but it was only after a few meetings that he opened up.

He started earning at the age of 25, thrilled with the freedom of spending. He did not show any interest in investment, and looked at tax saving just before the deadline of submission of proofs. He accumulated many products that gave him the deduction but did not compound wealth. He believed he should focus on earning and the rest would follow, which does not happen without efforts towards prosperity and financial freedom.

What he realised with time was that events that fructify in the distant future have little impact on us. He soon realised that his term plan premium got expensive, and he was saddled with home loan EMIs, kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; education costs, medical expenses etc.

Shyamali Basu SVP and head - products HDFC Asset Management Co Ltd

This is true for most of us. We study just before the exams, cramming and working overtime and managing good grades.

But in life it is not as easy to succeed even if we work overtime.

infocus mixed bag

Earning is only half the job, and the other is learning to invest.

The wise will learn and the others will tread the path of my friend, and there are a few lessons to be learnt from his experiences.

Term plans are a must. We should try and sign up a policy for a term plan as soon as we start work. When we are young, we are fitter and there are fewer chances of an upward revision in the premium (which itself is lower than later in life). The second learning is of starting a mutual fund systematic investment plan (SIP) that also brings an inherent discipline to save for the future.

Thirdly, choose an equity linked savings scheme (ELSS) and start investing not in January but at the start of the fiscal year.

The most important learning is that we should not stay focussed only on earning more but investing wisely too. Attaching a goal to a particular investment brings in patience to hold on to investments for the long term and to not give in to temptations for less-important indulgences. Also, a word of hope for a 40-yearold: there are still 20 years to go till you retire, and financial freedom is like a journey rather than a particular event.

"The opinions expressed in this article are those of the author alone and not of HDFC AMC, and should not be regarded as investment advice. Investors should obtain their own independent advice before taking a decision to invest in any securities."

Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks. Read all scheme related documents carefully.

What the cards hold for you in April. By Karmel Nair

vizSy vkids fy, dSlk jgsxkA crk jgh gSa dkjesy uk;jA

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)

Your finances will be steady this month and you might also be involved in charity work. Remember, the more you give, the more you will receive in return. Be calm and do not be overwhelmed by the responsibilities you are entrusted with.

Good news is on its way. You will embark on a new project or an initiative. Believe in yourself and watch your dreams come true. You might have to manage two things at once. Don’t fret; trust yourself and go with the flow.

If you are expecting some important news, especially about work, then be prepared for a delay. Don’t worry, because the delay will not be indefinite.

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

You will be thankful for many things this month. Happiness will come to you in the form of either marriage or childbirth.

You will be at the top of your game if you take wise decisions and don’t jump to hasty conclusions.

This month will begin on an excellent note. If you are awaiting a job offer, then it is on its way. You shall be recognised for your efforts. Learn to let go of trivial things. Always remember that something better lies in store for you.

You will be at the top of your game this month. You will manage work well and receive help from a male figure. Don’t let anything bother you. Instead, focus on the task at hand. Victory is round the corner, you just have to be patient.

at the heart of it The Department of Cardiac Vascular & Thoracic Surgery achieved yet another milestone by successfully performing the first heart transplant surgery at KLES Dr Prabhakar Kore Hospital on February 20, 2018. A team of surgeons lead by Dr Richard Saldahana achieved this rare feat by saving the life of a 32-year-old patient, who hails from a low economic background and was suffering from dilated cardiomyopathy, where the patient’s heart was enlarged and was functioning at only 20 per cent. As a last ray of hope, the worried caretakers rushed the patient to KLES Hospital.

Chief of cardio-thoracic department Dr Saldahana and team carried out a battery of investigations and established that the patient was fit for a heart transplant. The surgery was conducted between 2-7 am on February 20, 2018 in the cardiac surgical unit of the hospital, with the donor heart coming from a 42-year-old lady who was being treated by Prof Dr AS Godhi, senior surgeon. Her brain had suffered irreversible damage and she was on a ventilator.

Liberal arts education at SRM University leads to a more specialised level of education What is liberal arts and how is it different from a normal arts or science degree?

Liberal arts entails taking both a broad cross section of courses as well as coursework that leads to a more specialised education and degree. In many cases, liberal arts curricula include a set of core/foundation courses (or a menu of such courses) to provide structured breadth, introducing students to core Dr Nicholas B Driks Honorary Pro Chancellor issues, texts, and perspectives SRM University that will benefit them in any area of specialisation. It assures that students not only have achieved mastery of a particular field but have a sophisticated and wide exposure to subjects in addition to “learning how to learn” across a range of fields.

At a time of massive change in our society, economy and technology, liberal arts is therefore more important than ever.

Why do you believe liberal arts is important in India and what do you see as its potential?

Liberal arts will provide the basis not just for general learning but for creativity and innovation across many disciplines. If India is to continue to become one of the world’s largest and most dynamic societies and economies, its citizens will require precisely the kind of education that liberal arts affords.

What is unique about the programme and degree that will be granted at SRM Amaravati?

SRM Amaravati is designing a cutting-edge curriculum with innovative and path-breaking foundation courses, a core set of majors in the arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences, journalism, and business - all in proximity to and collaboration with one of India’s most prominent engineering faculties. Students will therefore have the opportunity not just to build robots, design new forms of artificial intelligence, and analyse new technological solutions while majoring in other fields, they will also be prepared to make a major contribution to ethical and cultural dimensions, historical and policy implications, and the social and economic opportunities.

What differences in student development would be granted by an SRM Amaravati degree?

Students graduating from SRM Amaravati will develop into leaders in their fields as well as their professions in India and abroad. They will be sought after by major companies, the Indian government, leading universities, and others.

About Optum

The path to a smart health city is paved on integrated health systems

Optum is a part of UnitedHealth Group (UHG), a Fortune 6 company with revenues in excess $201B. UHG has also been recognized as Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Company in 2016, providing services in more than 150 countries across the globe. In India, Optum employs over 22,400 health care professionals, working in state-ofthe-art delivery centers across 5 cities and is considered one of the fastest growing health care IT services companies.

Setting up a sustainable smart city requires an integrated citizen-centric approach that combines improvement (retrofitting), renewal (redevelopment) and extension (greenfield development) projects aimed at strengthening all core services, including health care.

The Optum smart health city solution is an integrated offering, which provides technology-enabled clinical and business insights to all stakeholders across the health care value chain. Our solution provides smart health care management through digital health records, remote diagnoses and treatment, home health services, and patient monitoring systems. With this solution, the focus shifts from treatment of diseases to prevention and the provision of holistic and equitable health care for all. We are offering this solution to smart cities in both a subscription model as well as a traditionally delivered solution, providing end-to-end support - from the creation of the initial road-map to the final implementation of the project.
