Air India will continue to augment its fleet and keep spreading its wings to international and domestic destinations. In February, we launched a direct connection from Amritsar to Birmingham and a direct Guwahati to Bengaluru flight. We are also set to increase frequency between Delhi and San Francisco to a daily flight due to heavy demand.

This round-the-world flight is the fastest and the only non-stop one between India and the West Coast of USA. It is our endeavour to explore new routes and also keep rolling out attractive schemes and offers keeping your needs and preferences in mind.

We are always with our passengers when they need us the most. Whether it's in Maldives or Maharashtra, we promptly waived penalties on noshow, rescheduling and cancellation like we always do during any emergency.

A special mention here should be made of our commander Capt Anupama Kohli, who saved a potential disaster over the Mumbai skies with her impeccable airmanship. Such instances go a long way in adding to your trust in team Air India - with unmatched training, experience and expertise of all its personnel. Another Air Indian, Jhulan Goswami, has scripted history to become the first female cricketer to take 200 ODI wickets. With a total of 290 international wickets, Goswami is the all-time leading wicket-taker in women's cricket. At Air India, we feel proud of our women colleagues many of whom have broken the glass ceiling and excelled in their respective areas of specialisation.

My salute to all woman achievers on the occasion of International Women’s Day! We are leaving no stone unturned to give you a pleasant experience on ground and in air. To propel us ahead in our pursuit of excellence we need your unstinted support. Wishing you, your family and friends a very happy Holi.

Bon Voyage Shubh Yatra

"Amritsar sifti da ghar" (Amritsar, the home of goodness).

Peace and divinity merge as the shimmering dome of the Golden Temple takes on the colours of a golden dawn. Time stops when, on a full moon night, you catch a glimpse of the gleaming shrine reflected in the waters of the Amrit Sarovar…

This spring, Shubh Yatra travels to the city of heritage and holiness, Amritsar - home to the spectacular Golden Temple. Walk with us through the winding bylanes of the old city, discovering its patriotic heart and the delicious variety of its cuisine.

Jayita Bandyopadhyay Editorial Director (jayita@maxposuremedia.com)

But what's spring without Holi? So the celebrations continue, as we rustle up classic Holi dishes — but with a twist. March is also the month of International Women's Day, and we celebrate feminine strength through the success stories of five extraordinary women. The issue ends with the magic of legendary illusionist PC Sorcar, as his equally famous son talks about his illustrious father's life. Let's celebrate the magic of spring!

@airindiain a wonderful flight and crew! LHR-EWR! Thank you! @lorihaleyfox

The people of India would know the JOY of flying if they have travelled with Indian Airlines/Air India through the last two decades.

The undisputed Maharaja! @airindiain @sankalp320

Got sudden bout of fever & nausea on @airindiain AI 174. Just wanted to say a BIG thank you to the amazing crew (Ashok, Samantha, Ektha, Vishnu, Deepak) took such great care of me & arranged for me to lie down. Thanks much @akshaybd

I am always for our national carrier @airindiain , simply the best and works perfect whereas other airlines just want to fleece you off monies on account of seat preferences, excess baggage etc , wish it dsnt get privatised .. #dreamliner @haanssa This little girl was telling her parents she wanted to be an airhostess. But when she saw me, she said she could also be a Pilot.Ofcourse yes.

ON HER COMMAND

Air India captain Anupama Kohli’s prompt action averted a mid-air collision, saving the lives of 261 passengers Recently, captain Anupama Kohli, a senior commander operating flight AI 631 for Bhopal, prevented a mid-air disaster in the Mumbai airspace when a Pune-bound Vistara aircraft came too close to the Air India airplane. Both aircraft were barely 100 feet away from each other. Kohli noticed the other airplane approaching from the left, and on seeing the red sign on the cockpit, she followed the standard operating procedure as per the resolution advisory (RA), and steered clear, averting a major collision. Her prompt action saved the lives of 261 passengers on board both the carriers. Air India CMD, Pradeep Singh Kharola, has applauded the presence of mind shown by captain Kohli.

Air India congratulates star cricketer Jhulan Goswami for becoming the first woman cricketer in the world to take 200 ODI wickets.

Goswami works as manager in the Commercial department of the airline in Kolkata. With a total of 290 wickets, she is the all-time leading wicket-taker in international women’s cricket. The ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year in 2007, Goswami is also an Arjuna Award and Padma Shri recipient.

LADY BEHIND THE LENS

Tajinder Kaur’s journey with marathons began when she met Parvinder Nagra, former Mr Universe, at a gym. Nagra recognised her potential and decided to coach her.

Her dedication bore fruit when she stood first both in the Sikh Marathon (in her age category) and in the 10 km Delhi Airtel Marathon. An interior designer by profession, Kaur has managed to strike a balance between family, career and passion. She is married to Air India commander Anish Singh, Dy GM. She is an inspiration for women who strive to create an identity for themselves.

Jasmin A Singh, a 21-year-old student pursuing Film and Television Production, and Theatre from the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, the US, has been creating quite a ripple in the international short film arena. The Mumbai-based youngster left India to pursue her education in fine arts at 18, and started as a theatre student at Tisch School of the Arts in New York.

30 I SHUBH YATRA I MARCH 2018

After a year, she decided to study filmmaking and transferred to the USC School of Cinematic Arts with a film production major, while continuing her acting major there. Singh made Dirge, a short film, as part of her curriculum at the USC, which has made its way to five international film festivals and has won awards.

That apart, she has also produced another short film titled Reverie, which was screened and awarded at the Los Angeles Movie Awards. Singh, who has been coming back to Mumbai over summer breaks, has worked with Phantom Films

Amritsar is a fascinating mix of history and holiness. Add a dash of flavoursome food and you get a concoction that’s a must-experience. As Air India resumes direct flights between Amritsar and Birmingham, Aarti Kapur Singh takes us on a guided trip of the city I was roaming aimlessly, one narrow bylane taking me to another, when an engraved wooden doorway caught my eye. Towering over the neighbouring houses, crowded in by ATMs and busy sweetmeat shops, it was adorned by an exquisitely carved door frame.

Though it had lost some of its beauty, engraved panels erased by time, nothing could take away its grandeur.

And it wasn’t alone. As I walked down the lane, avoiding two-wheelers and cycles whizzing past, I marvelled at many such remnants. I could have been walking down history. That’s the charm of Amritsar. This bustling city lets you relive the past at every step, mesmerising you with a charming concoction of history, spirituality and gastronomic delights. Amritsar is as much a soulful experience as it is a sensory one.

The Golden Temple, Amritsar

It was mid-morning and the city was buzzing. I had stepped out after a dawn visit to the spectacular Golden Temple - the most sacred of Sikh shrines and the most popular landmark in the city - and was wandering around the old market area, letting the mystery of the old winding bylanes guide me: a right turn to closely look at a line of bright phulkariembroidered dupattas, a sharp left

to add to my stock of Punjabi juttis (traditional footwear) and another left to marvel at how a pigeonhole shop could stock mountains of colourful papads, spices, wadiyan (dried pulse nuggets) and dry fruits.

One of the oldest and largest cities in north India, Amritsar, in Punjab, is an ocean of heritage - in its temples, markets, dhabas and its people. “Vasdi saghan apaar anoop Ramdaspur” (Ramdaspur is prosperous, thickly populated and incomparably beautiful) - that is how the city of Ramdaspur, now known as Amritsar, is described in the Guru Granth Sahib.

The recent facelift that the city has got is another reason to visit Amritsar.

The façades of several buildings on the street surrounding the Golden Temple have been recreated in a uniform architectural theme, which imparts to them a grand look in keeping with the 400-year-old city.

Tryst with history

Visit the palace of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, the great warrior hero, and be amazed by its grandeur, even though it is a fraction of what it used to be in its heyday.

Hola Mohalla

A Sikh festival, Hola Mohalla is celebrated at Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Anandpur Sahib, in Punjab.

The festival takes place in the month of Phalguna, as per the Hindu calendar. Generally, it is celebrated a day after Holi. The festival consists of camping out, military exercises and mock battles, followed by kirtan and poetry. For meals, visitors sit on the ground in neat rows called pangat and eat vegetarian food from langar, served by volunteers.

Another imposing draw in the vicinity is a permanent museum dedicated to the Partition of India in 1947. Yadgare-Taqseem, or Memories of Partition, that opened in 2017, is an effort to document and commemorate the lives of people and institutions affected by the Partition. Home to a collection of documents, oral histories and memorabilia commemorating one of the largest migrations in history, as well as an invaluable archive for scholars and academics, the museum commemorates the Partition and the sacrifices made by people on both sides of the border.

Situated at the newly renovated Heritage Street, the museum is one of many structures that render what was once an ordinary street into a grand walkway.

In fact, the one-kilometre stretch feels

like a walk through an open museum.

Bright lamp-posts illuminating white shop façades, buildings with Mughal and Rajput-inspired domes and jharokhas, LED lights illuminating the angles and crevices, and just the right number of people on the street make it appear like a magical land, where history and heritage meet technology.

End your day with the amazing lowering of flags ceremony at the Attari-Wagah border that separates India and Pakistan’s geographical boundaries.

Savouring spirituality

For most tourists, the Golden Temple represents everything Amritsar has to offer. If you are inclined to indulge in sewa (community service), offer your services at the langar (community meal) at Harmandir Sahib, as the gurdwara is also known. All gurdwaras have community kitchens, wherein anybody who wishes to serve can join in. Besides the annual

shubh-yatra.in

At an age when young girls pore over glossy fashion magazines or try to emulate their favourite movie star, Ananya Birla set up an enterprise to financially support rural women.

The 23-year-old daughter of business tycoon Kumar Mangalam Birla was only 17 when she founded a microfinance organisation to provide loans to low-income, rural women to help them grow their businesses. “I have always been very conscious of the huge income gap in India and wanted to develop a vehicle to give back to society in a sustainable way,” says the young entrepreneur, who is also at the helm of another business that curates rare, high-quality handicrafts from across the globe and makes them accessible on an e-commerce platform.

While her father provided her with great encouragement when she set up her own enterprises, her vision was clear – to develop her own ideas, make her own mistakes and learn as much as possible along her journey. “My father is brilliant and what he has achieved is commendable. He has always been there for me, but I have never really wanted him to take an active part in my businesses as I wanted to learn from my own mistakes. I have a lot of respect for him, and will always appreciate how supportive he was of me starting my own business at such a young age,” she says.

A budding businesswoman apart, Ananya is also a talented songstress and recently collaborated with popular Dutch DJ Afrojack in the remix version of one of her songs. “My musical journey has brought me closer to myself, and has given me a much better understanding of myself. There is no better feeling than that of being able to connect with people through music,” says Ananya, who is awaiting the release of her next single, Hold on.

Music in her heart

Music is not a choice for Meeta Pandit, it is a way of life. She is the granddaughter of legendary vocalist Krishnarao Shankar Pandit and the daughter of Laxman Krishnarao Pandit (image on left), both exponents of the Gwalior gharana of Indian classical music, and she does not believe in taking her family lineage for granted.

FEMALE VOCALIST OF GWALIOR GHARANA OF MUSIC

Art is not a property that can be taken over...you need to first understand the roots of an art form, learn it and then make it your own

“Art is not a property that can be taken over. As far as creativity is concerned, you need to first understand the roots of an art form, learn it and then make it your own,” says Meeta, a sixthgeneration musician, who also holds the distinction of being the first woman vocalist in the family. She realised at an early age that she had to create a niche of her own within the gharana. “For the longest time, the Gwalior gharana had seen only male practitioners. As a mahila sadhika [practitioner], I had to make sure my singing reflected my vocal personality and my taleem [training],” she explains. Her first music lesson was from her father, who, she recalls, “inculcated in me the patience and discipline to learn and practise the art”.

SANJNA KAPOOR

FOUNDER OF A THEATRE COMPANY

The world’s a stage

Sanjna Kapoor is carrying forward the ideologies and passion of her father Shashi Kapoor, mother Jennifer Kendal and grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor.

With an undying love for theatre and a desire to take it to the masses, she has, for nearly two decades, carried forward her family’s legacy. “I feel fortunate to have two generations before me, from both my parents’ sides, who loved and worked in theatre. This love and passion is my legacy,” she says. She helmed Prithvi Theatre (set up by Prithviraj Kapoor) from 1991 to 2011, maintaining its identity as a cultural hub. “I had to learn on the job, and realised soon

enough that Prithvi Theatre was a microcosm of a greater world that one wanted to build - a world filled with imagination, where theatre and the arts were valued as an intrinsic part of our lives,” she shares.

She set up Junoon, her own theatre company, in 2012. “It is an organisation that dreams of an India that stands on the foundations of its rich artistic and cultural practices,” she explains, and adds, “I am lucky to work in the field I love, and believe that it is essential to create environments for theatre and our arts that are nurturing, fostering and enabling. Only then shall artistic engagement truly thrive in India.”

“Women can achieve anything they wish to, if they set their heart on it,” says Richa Agarwal, CEO, Emami Art, part of the Emami Group of Companies.

Indeed they can, as Richa has herself proven, having elevated Emami Art to make it one of the largest art galleries in India. While she was married into a traditional Marwari family, her father-inlaw, encouraged by her keen sense of business and eye for art, handed over the charge of Emami Art to the young Commerce graduate in 2007, and there has been no looking back ever since.

“When my father-in-law, RS Agarwal, asked me to take over Emami Art, it was a challenge. From that point on, it has been a journey of discovery for me.

I believe one must continue to learn every day and adapt to achieve one’s goal. When I came on board, we mostly had Indian masters in our collection. My aim has been to bring younger, more contemporary artists into our fold since then,” she says.

TO INDIA

WITH LOVE

The annual India Art Fair may have had its regular share of Indian masters and contemporary art, but international artists also had a major presence this year, says Poonam Goel When Kochi-Muziris Biennale director Bose Krishnamachari came across German artist Burkhard von Harder’s work at the Mondo Gallery booth in India Art Fair this year, he was so moved by its unique composition that his next step was to introduce Harder to several museum directors. Understandably so, as creating his photographic scroll work - reproducing every single frame (2,14,000 in all) of the 138-minute Stanley Kubrick movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, and stretching them into a length of 120 x 254 metres - was no small feat. At Lukas Feichtner Galerie’s booth, 80-year-old Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch was absent himself, but his canvas reproduction of a dramatic blood-stained performance piece elicited a lot of admiration and collectors’ queries. A little down the aisle was Malaysian artist Anne Samat, whose mixedmedia work Abhaya - using threads, textiles, utensils, chains and found objects - at the Richard Koh Fine Art Gallery booth was yet another feast for the eyes.

Indian ritualistic traditions. “We had wanted to show his work in the last edition as well,” said gallery director Lucas Feichtner, “but were advised that people here might not be prepared to see his radical works yet. I am glad his work is getting its due recognition this time.”

Life, and its myriad stages, is what interested Harder as well. “I had come to Varanasi in 1974, having always been drawn to India since my student days,” said the 65-year-old, adding, “My experimentation with film scrolls has been influenced by repeated visits to the city since then.

A visit to Varanasi is almost like entering time itself. Every aspect of life and death happens simultaneously there. Similarly, looking at my work is like looking at the DNA of the film. It’s like taking stock of a whole life all at once.”

These were a few among several international debuts at India Art Fair 2018, which has, indeed, lived up to the expectations raised by the fair’s new director Jagdip Jagpal, of this edition being “a high quality” affair. Though the fair did have its usual share of Indian masters and younger artists, the acceptance of the likes of Harder and Nitsch was proof that the Indian art market is not only thriving but also maturing rapidly.

Spanish artist Antonio Santin was also at the fair for the first time, and was not disappointed.

His 71x80-inch oil on canvas titled Moebius Ballade was where the crowds gathered, awed by the intricate detailing in the work. Painted like an embroidered carpet, with undulating waves that seemed to both reveal and hide what’s beneath, the illusion was Santin’s master stroke. “People came here thinking it’s thread work, but it’s an oil painting and the details have been made using henna cones,” revealed Santin. “People connected to it because of its Indian aesthetics.”

Nitsch revealed that he has always been “interested in Indian culture and philosophy”, and drew a parallel between his own performative acts using blood as the “sap of all life” and

KAILASH MANASAROVAR YATRA

The Yatra is a lifetime experience of both pilgrimage and adventure

M

ount Kailash, a sacred Himalayan mountain at an altitude of 22,028 feet in the western Tibetan Plateau, holds great religious importance for Hindus as it is the abode of Lord Shiva. For the Jains, it also holds a special place in their faith because this was where Rishabhadeva attained liberation from the cycle of karma. The Buddhists regard it as the sacred fortress of Buddha Shakyamuni. On the southeast of Mount Kailash, is the beautiful circular lake Manasarovar. The pilgrimage to Kailash Manasarovar is a must visit for the devotees once in a lifetime in their earthly birth.

Every year, this Yatra is organised by the Ministry of External Affairs through two exclusive routes.

Pilgrims via the Lipulekh Pass in Uttarakhand have the rare opportunity to visit scenic sites like the spectacular Chialekh Valley with its rare flora and fauna unique to this part of the world.

Pilgrims on the motorable Nathu La route travel along the picturesque Teesta river and also have a halt at Rangpo, a well known tourist destination in Sikkim, before they cross the border for their journey through the vast Tibetan Plateau.

This Yatra organised by the Government of India, in coordination with state governments of Delhi, Uttarakhand and Sikkim, is for Indian citizens intending to visit Kailash Manasarovar for religious purposes. The Delhi Government arranges free boarding and lodging facilities for Yatris during their stay in Delhi. To ensure safety and welfare of pilgrims and determine their high altitude endurance, the Government of India conducts appropriate medical checks and also appoints a Liaison Officer to accompany each batch for the entire duration.

HIGH ALTITUDE DISEASES Due to decrease in the atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude, the atmospheric pressure at 18,000 feet is half that of the sea level. Effects such as swelling etc., due to blood pressure can increase with the reduced atmospheric pressure.

BE PREPARED In t e onsoon t e first few days of the trek in the lower reaches on the Indian side of the Lipulekh route may often involve walking in the rain. For the latter, colder part of the trek, it is necessary to avoid getting wet.

Holi, or Dol Jatra as it is referred to in my home state West Bengal, brings back memories of home-cooked savouries and sweets. My mother would make dhokar dalna - spiced lentil cake that fried and then simmered in a thick tomato gravy, tempered with ginger paste, cumin and coriander - while my father, who was on a constant mission to get us to eat seasonal vegetables, would whip up cutlets that replaced potatoes with seasonal produce such as beetroot, arbi (colocasia root) and kathal (jackfruit), which my sister and I would devour instantly.

As time has passed, people have become more particular about what they eat. Treats traditionally dipped in sugar syrup are being baked, and heavier ingredients are being replaced by healthier and tastier alternatives. The health benefits of recipes that utilise seasonal ingredients, bought from local farmers, are being widely acknowledged as part of the slow food movement (food that is produced or prepared in accordance with local culinary traditions, typically using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients). As a chef, while I thoroughly enjoy the gujiyas and kachoris that are synonymous with the festival of colours, I also enjoy adding a twist to them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; be it in the ingredients or the method of preparation. My attempt is always to draw on the strengths of traditional Holi cuisine, while adding a modern and healthy touch. Here are a few such fusion delicacies you must try:

This is a contemporary interpretation of the classic puran poli, an Indian sweet flatbread stuffed with jaggery.

Dolma is a curry-based stuffed vegetable delicacy that is especially popular in the eastern part of India. The onion flower dolma, a variation I have created, is prepared with seasonal spring onions and black sesame seeds as stuffing.

One of the most beautiful aspects of festivals in our country is that they bring about joyous gatherings of dear ones, bonding over food. Let us celebrate the traditional delicacies of Holi this year by adding a new ingredient of wellness to them, and making them memorable for more than just how delicious they are!

Here are our top 7-and-a-half reasons why 265,000 Germans visit India every year

Meanwhile, those who arrive in India with a rucksack on their back can bike along the world’s highest mountain pass in Ladakh, climb up 3,800 steps to visit the 863 temples of Palitana or explore the hill forts of Rajasthan.

CHILL OUT AND EXPLORE India’s 7,500+ km coastline makes it an ideal beach holiday location and tourists looking to unwind can head to pristine beaches in Kerala, Goa, Daman and Diu in the west and Puducherry, Puri and the Andaman Islands in the east. Luxury trains offer travellers the opportunity to see the country in style and backwater cruises in Kerala really slow down the pace of life.

THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD Germany may have some good Indian food, but India has the authenticity.

Whilst tourists will recognise some of the names of dishes from their local curry restaurant, it’s not until you arrive in India that you realise how good authentic food can taste and smell. India has the perfect climate to produce the best spices in the world. Its location midway along the Silk Road and the shape of the country (jutting out into the Indian Ocean) have made it a perfect stop-off point for traders over the centuries. This mix of

ingredients and diversity of culture means India offers among the largest varieties of cuisine in the world. Visitors soon find out that there is no such thing as typical Indian cuisine and foodies can embark on a pilgrimage of discovery from region to region.

INVESTING WISELY Recently I went to some MBA colleges for preplacement talks and interactive planning (IAP) sessions with the young first-jobbers. I met many enthusiastic millennials and realised their life’s mantras were to live in the present and live their life king size.

The millennials prefer sharing rather than owning. They are tech savvy, booking tickets or buy groceries through phone apps rather than standing in the queues. They are more ‘in the present’ people and are more health-conscious. They don’t necessarily follow a celebrity while making their purchase decisions, but do their own research, buy a product and even write reviews online.

The millennials do not want to live like their parents, slogging and saving for the future and sacrificing the present.

A simple but effective thumb rule to inculcate the habit of saving is that whatever is your age, save the equivalent percentage of your monthly income in a financial asset. For instance, if you are 25, set a target to invest at least 25 per cent of your income each month. This way, millennials will not compromise on their desires of enjoyment and at the same time get into the habit of saving.

WITH A MISSION

T

he Coconut Development Board came into existence on 12th January 1981 with the objective to implement various projects and to coordinate and monitor the development programmes on coconut cultivation and industry in the country. CDB functions under the administrative control of the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Government of India. Headquarter of CDB is in Kochi, Kerala and there are 12 unit offices and 10 DSP farms in different parts of the country.

In India, coconut is predominantly a small holderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop with about 98% coconut holdings owned by small and marginal farmers. The crop provides food security and livelihood to more than 10 million farmers across the country. India contributes to 30.49% of world coconut production and enjoys the first position in terms of production. For enhancing coconut productivity in the country, and for implementing various schemes, Board has initiated the formation of the three tier Farmer Producer Organization (FPOs) i.e. collective group of farmers in coconut sector with the main objective of socio-economic development of farmers through productivity improvement, cost reduction, efficient aggregation, processing for value addition, and better by-product utilization and efficient marketing of the produce. It aims at providing a fair, reasonable and steady income to farmers by organizing the coconut sector through farmer collectives. The Coconut Producer Companies (apex body of FPOs) already formed in the country with coconut farmers as its stakeholders are already involved in coconut processing in big way, which will pave the way for making the role of farmers significant in determining the product value.

For promoting coconut, CDB lends technical and financial support to the farmers, stakeholders, and entrepreneurs in the private and public sectors. This includes demonstrating technologies and educating coconut farmers on scientific coconut cultivation, processing, productivity improvement, technology demonstration, market promotion and export promotion.

Product basket Being a zero wastage product, the product basket from coconut is enormous. Some of the value added products from coconut are Desiccated Coconut (DC), Virgin Coconut oil, Coconut chips, Coconut milk, Coconut milk powder, Coconut Vinegar, Coconut oil, Tender Coconut water, Ball copra, Neera and Neera products, Coconut ice cream, Coconut body lotion and so on. As part of the product promotion, commercial production units have been started in various parts of the country under Technology Mission on Coconut (TMoC). So far, 450 processing units have been setup in the country with the financial assistance from CDB.

THE ROAD AHEAD As the Indian automotive industry looks to the future, multiple possibilities could shape its direction.

Manufacturers are continually creating new concept vehicles; environment-friendly engine technology is coming to the fore; vehicles with artificial intelligence (AI) do not seem like the stuff of science fiction any more; and there are always faster and more luxurious supercars! The recently concluded Auto Expo 2018, held near Delhi brought many of these trends to the fore. Read on to learn about where the industry is headed.

From concept to reality

A concept vehicle, in essence, represents the best of what engineering, R&D, design and other teams of automotive manufacturers can come up with, given a free rein on technology and budgets.

Concept vehicles are more a representation of the

As Auto Expo 2018, the biennial automotive extravaganza, rolls past, Gaurav Nagpal brings you the highlights direction in which the industry is headed than a look at what the actual vehicle will be like and, in that capacity, they play a key role.

There were a number of interesting concept vehicles exhibited this year. Renault presented the bewitching Trezor, a lightweight, all-electric concept sportscar whose most eye-catching aspect is its roof, a one-piece structure that combines a roof, a bonnet and the doors, and opens upwards from the front to allow access to the interior as well as the engine bay. Maruti-Suzuki had the e-Survivor four-wheel-drive concept SUV, a quirky, all-electric vehicle that counts autonomous driving among its many capabilities. The two-wheeler world was not to be left behind, with Yamahaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MOTOROiD bringing AI to the biking world, along with facial recognition, haptic technology, gesture control

price tags of some of the cars screamed for attention.

The aforementioned Mercedes-AMG GT R is priced at `2.23 crore (ex-showroom India), but it does deliver in spades. Then there was the long-wheelbase Mercedes-Maybach S650, sitting pretty at the top of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class lineup and priced at `2.73 crore (ex-showroom India), with a six-litre V12 turbo petrol putting out 620 PS and loaded with every manner of driver assistance and luxury feature imaginable.

For the environment

2

Concerns for the environment are ever-present, and tend to spike when it comes to any discussion on automobiles. A key factor in this discussion is the use of fossil fuels (petrol and diesel), which, try as you may, do result in a fair bit of pollution. Electric and hybrid engine technology is a solution many are looking to, and this was evident in the number and type of vehicles lined up with either pure electric or hybrid (electric + petrol/other) powertrains.

3

An eye-catcher in this field was the Hyundai IONIQ, claiming to be the world’s first car that has all three possible variants of electric power – hybrid (petrol + electric, where the petrol engine charges and recharges the battery that powers the electric motor), plug-in hybrid (petrol + electric, where the car can be plugged in to a charging station to charge the battery), and pure electric. The two-wheeler segment marked its presence too, with the TVS Creon performance scooter concept running on electric power and sporting an 80 km range; its charging time is comparable to modern smartphones!

Stay connected and self-balancing.

The fast and the expensive

Fast cars and bikes take the thrill of an automobile to a whole new level, and there sure were some fast specimens at the expo. Leading the pack was the Mercedes-AMG GT R (aka “the beast of the green hell”), hitting 100 km/h from standstill in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed comfortably beyond the triple-century mark. Even quicker is the new BMW M5 sedan, which can despatch the same 0-100 km/h run in 3.4 seconds, aided by the BMW M xDrive system, which allows the driver to conveniently switch between rear-wheel-drive (RWD) and four-wheel-drive (4WD). Both cars use V8 turbopetrol engines with over 550 PS peak power.

If it is fast, it will not come cheap! Lovers of speed and luxury do not have the purchase price anywhere close to the top of their ‘things to consider’ list; even so, the

The future of mobility will have interconnected vehicles and smart technology as a key highlight.

This could result in a number of interesting benefits: case in point, predictive connectivity developed

by Continental Automotive, where crowdsourcing allows the collection of network quality data for the roads ahead and alerts drivers about when and where their calls are likely to drop. Smartphones will also serve as access control devices (keyless entry/ exit and ignition on/off).

A very interesting smart vehicle was the Flow electric scooter (from Twenty-Two Motors), claimed to be India’s first AI-enabled, cloud-connected scooter that sends alerts for servicing as well as deviation from its regular routes. Cloud-based data analytics is, of course, part of the package. Mahindra & Mahindra brought its single-seater ATOM urban mobility concept that incorporates seamless connection with multiple transport modes to allow last-mile connectivity.

NSSH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; SUPPORTING THE GROWTH OF

SC/ST ENTREPRENEURS

The National Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Hub (NSSH) actively supports entrepreneurial ventures by SC/ST owned enterprises compared to their share in state populations. A survey of more than 1,500 SC/ST enterprises across fi e states sponsored by Planning Commission (now Niti Aayog), showed that 49 per cent of these enterprises are single-employee operated and only three per cent have more than three employees. The survey also provided insights on the growth of these enterprises, revealing that only two per cent of all SC/ST enterprises have an annual turnover of more than `200,000.

lobally, the MSME sector is a key driver of economic growth, as it is one of the major contributors towards gross domestic product (GDP) of every country S s account for a si nificant proportion of manufacturing and exports, creating millions of jobs every year. For instance, in the US, MSMEs contribute around 50 per cent towards GDP and 60 per cent towards employment; in Taiwan [1], the share of MSMEs in GDP is 85 per cent while in employment it is 78 per cent; and in Italy [2], MSMEs contribute 68 per cent of GDP while employing around 80 per cent of the working population.

Limitations for the MSME sector In India, the MSME sector has weathered and overcome stiff competition in the domestic and international arenas.

However, despite its substantial contribution to the Indian economy, the sector faces several challenges such as high cost of credit, technological obsolescence, inadequate infrastructure, and scarcity of skills (among others), which put the MSME sector at a disadvantage.

In addition, lack of detailed research on t e usiness i ited financia now edge, and the absence of support and guidance during the inception stage also pose daunting challenges to the MSME units.

In India, the sector consists of approximately 63 million units, and produces more than 6,000 products ranging from traditional to high-tech items, along with providing employment to around 111 million people [3]. Thus, the development of the sector is fundamental to ensure inclusive economic growth from the national as well as global perspective.

Challenges faced by SC/ST owned enterprises The SC/ST enterprises are comparatively smaller (in terms of number of employees) and are more rural than urban.

There exists a much greater share of owner-operated (single-employee) units compared to the average. Except for the tribal majority north-eastern states, SC/ ST businesses are under-represented as

The survey is a testament to the constrained growth experienced by SC/ST enterprises e findin s esta is t at enterprises run by such marginalised groups are very small in scale and scope, with negligible economic mobility and several challenges on training, financin ar et access and co petition fronts. Therefore, it leaves a lot of scope for government intervention for the growth of all SC/ST-owned MSEs. In order to promote these enterprises, Government of India (GoI) launched public procurement policy to ensure equal participation of MSME sector in public procurement process.

Public Procurement Policy In order to boost overall economic growth, the government introduced measures to focus on the well-being of Indian MSEs, especially SC/ST-owned MSEs, and came up with the Public Procurement Policy, MSE order 2012. This policy stipulates [1] Data as per 2010 report by Small and Medium Enterprise administration, Ministry of Economic affairs [2] Structural Business Statistics Database, DIW Econ (Eurostat), 2013 [3] MSME Annual Report (2015-16)

A total of `135,000 crore procurement is being made by CPSEs together. Accordingly, the day we enable SC/ST entrepreneurs to get orders worth `5,000 crores, the objectives of the National SC-ST Hub will be met. The day we empower SC/ST individual into a job giver and not a job seeker, our dream will be accomplished.

• that 20 per cent of the procurement done by ministries, departments and CPSEs will have to be from MSEs, out of which four per cent has to be done from enterprises owned by SC/ST entrepreneurs. As a result of the policy, procurement from MSEs rose from 11.61 per cent in 2014-15 to over 21 per cent in 2017-18 (as per data received from 120 CPSEs). This increase was more pronounced in SC/ST-owned MSEs who witnessed a substantial rise.

However, despite the improved performance, the current level of procurement is still less than 0.5 per cent of the total procurement of goods and services of CPSEs made from enterprises owned by SC/ST. Reasons for constrained growth Many CPSEs, public sector undertakings (PSUs), government departments and ministries are trying to procure goods and services from MSEs including SC and ST enterprises. However, due to c a en es identified ear ier suc units are unable to supply their products/services in the market, especially the public

procurement market, which involves procurement by CPSEs and SPSUs, government departments, ministries and others. Perhaps, the biggest challenge in procurement of goods in the governent fro SC S units is t eir identification by CPSEs. Launch of NSSH A national level programme i.e. National Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Hub (NSSH) was launched by the Prime Minister on October 18, 2016, at Ludhiana. The programme is being implemented by National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC), a PSU operating under the aegis of Ministry of MSME. An initial outlay of `490 crore has been set aside for the programme for a four-year period.

Primary objectives of NSSH The primary objective of NSSH is to provide professional support to SC/ST entrepreneurs to fu fi t e o i ations under t e Central Government Procurement Policy Order 2012, adopt applicable business practices and leverage the Stand-Up India initiative. Following are the details of the activities facilitated by the hub: • Creating a validated MSME database of SC/ST enterprises through thorough background research that can be shared and used by various CPSEs and other government departments for vendor identification purposes • Organising vendor development pro-

grammes with CPSEs for SC/ST enterprises to enable them to become part of the supply chain of CPSEs and other government establishments. These programmes will help CPSEs to empanel SC/ST vendors for procurement requirements Providing mentoring and handholding support to SC/ST entrepreneurs in capacity building, imparting skill development training, organising buyer-seller meets etc e era in financia assistance and other marketing support through various schemes under NSSH

Enabling an effective ecosystem for MSMEs In addition in order to fu fi t e o i ation set under the procurement policy, the Ministry of MSMEs has taken the following measures to enable an effective ecosystem for MSEs: Introducing structural reforms for effective monitoring • “MSME SAMADHAAN” – An online monitoring system to track delayed payments to MSEs was launched on October 30, 2017. The portal empowers MSEs including SC/ST MSEs to upload cases wherein there is delay in getting payments from PSUs/government departments. The details are in the public domain. It helps every ministry/ CPSE to monitor the delayed payment cases and to take corrective action • “MSME SAMBANDH” – The portal, launched on December 8, 2017, tracks the procurement made by CPSEs from MSEs including SC/ST MSEs on a quarterly basis and contains necessary information related to the procurement requirement of CPSEs. The portal helps in effective monitoring while also providing MSEs a detailed list of the products and services required by the CPSEs. These details will include names of items being procured uantity and specifications Engaging with Stakeholders • NSSH organised the NSSH Conclave

on September 12, 2017, with participation from more than 120 representatives from CPSEs and resulted in the establishment of a communication channel with CPSEs. It also provided an opportunity to CPSEs to give suggestions and recommendations on how the procurement can be increased • NSSH organised ‘NSSH Confluence’ on September 20, 2017. The event was graced by the Indian Vice President.

More than 160 industry associations and incubators attended the programme. Also, to create awareness about the NSSH programme, the first e er radio ca pai n was a so launched at the Confluence • The team at the hub has also reached out to over 3,500 SC/ST MSEs and is in regular touch with them to identify their challenges while also helping them in creating market linkages with CPSEs On-ground support To increase the bandwidth of NSSH, business facilitation centres, officially known as NSSH offices (NSSHO) were opened at 12 different locations across the country. These centres provide support to enterprises in capacity building, training, financial assistance, establishing market linkages, and participation in CPSE tenders. The major functions performed by them are:

MSMEs in India have a great potential. Our Ministry is working with twin objectives: wealth creation for MSMEs and job creation for individuals. NSSH’s prime focus is to bridge the gap between all the stake holders and support CPSEs in implementation of Public Procurement Policy.

It has proved over the years to be one of the most globally competitive sectors of the country’s economy. The tourism sector has lived up to its promise by contributing to take Mauritius all the way from a low-income to an uppermiddle-income economy, thus creating thousands of jobs, especially in times when unemployment was high and by bringing in much-needed foreign currency to finance de e op ent

Commercial relations India is one of Mauritius’ largest trading partners and exporters of goods and services to Mauritius since 2007, and is the exclusive supplier of petroleum products to Mauritius. In FY 2015-2016, India exported goods worth US$ 856 million to Mauritius (registering a decrease from US$ 1.9 billion in FY 201415, largely due to low crude oil prices in FY 2015-16) and imported goods worth US$ 20 million from Mauritius. India’s exports to Mauritius comprise largely of petroleum products.

Mauritius was also a partner country at the recently concluded UP Investors Summit-2018 that was held in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. The country has also pledged to invest in the state of Uttar Pradesh.

ITALY IN INDIA

Lorenzo Angeloni, ambassador of Italy to India, talks about forging lifelong bonds with Indians, his love for local food and why he is fascinated with Rajasthan.

Nitasha Panda takes notes

I have had a very good experience with Air India. Be it the comfortable seats in Business Class, the food or the hospitality, everything is excellent 102 I SHUBH YATRA I MARCH 2018

Have you been to India before? How was your initial experience here?

My first visit to India was in March 2015, when I was appointed to represent my country here.

On my very first day, I turned on the television and came across a talk show where people were expressing their ideas very passionately. I established a connect with India that very instant, because people in Italy are passionate too.

When you were appointed as the ambassador, did you have any expectations of what India would be like?

Having been posted in Vietnam as the ambassa-

dor (2010â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2015), I already had some insight into Asian traditions and lifestyles. Around the same time, India had become the talk of the town because of its rapid development. When I finally came here, I was expecting a fusion of cultural heritage and technical advancement, and I was not disappointed.

What are some of the similarities you have found between India and Italy?

One big similarity that I find between the two countries is the concept of joint families. And like Italians, Indians are warm people, full of love and kindness.

Where have you travelled to in India? Do you have a favourite destination?

I love north India - I find it very fascinating. I have visited Rishikesh, Haridwar, Varanasi and Dehradun.

The culture of the region intrigues me and I enjoy the ambience of the ashrams in all these places. However, Rajasthan is my favourite destination, as I believe it is the gateway to Indian culture. I have visited Jaipur and Pushkar several times, and every time I visit the state, I discover something new – be it the traditions, the colours or even the shape of the houses!

to see how the concept of smart cities has been applied for the benefit of residents and tourists. Both Naples and Catania are cities full of stunning monuments, museums and historical ruins, and are today active urban centres. At Catania, you can learn how, over centuries, urban settlements have developed and sustained themselves on the slopes of a volcano (Mount Etna). Also, you must have a pizza in Naples!

The art of Neapolitan ‘Pizzaiuolo’ has been inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Is there any region or city in India that is on your travel bucket list?

I have never been to Khajuraho; it is one place I would love to visit. This apart, I would also like to visit Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana.

What are some of the things you would suggest an Italian should see and experience in India?

One of the many things that an Italian must experience in India is the diverse cuisine, including the outstanding street food. I would suggest a visit to one of the many popular literary festivals, which, I believe, bring together the learned, the experienced and the young, across all classes and nationalities. Also recommended is a stay in the beautiful havelis of Gujarat and Rajasthan. It is an experience that should not be missed. I would also suggest an Italian try and live like an Indian - interacting with the locals and observing life in metropolises as well as in small towns.

What are some of the things that you would suggest an Indian do in Italy?

To an Indian, I would suggest a trip to the southern part of Italy, still not explored much by Indian tourists.

The area is the most exotic and scenic part of the country, with plenty of food, history, traditions and culture to explore. Visit Syracuse in Sicily if you wish

The Gujarat government’s Mission Mangalam scheme aims to provide income-generating opportunities to women of the state, thus helping to empower women Day NRLM & GLPC

Gujarat Livelihood Promotion Company Ltd (GLPC) is the implementation agency for the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) and the Mission Mangalam scheme. On the occasion of the Golden Jubilee Year celebration of the state of Gujarat starting from May 1, 2010, the state government launched Mission Mangalam as an integrated poverty alleviation approach in a demand-driven convergence mode. It aims to bring the critical mass of resources to address poverty by creating a single platform for stakeholders like banks, industry partners, microfinance institutes and skill-imparting institutions to deliver desired outcomes.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

People often say this, but some women from small villages of the state of Gujarat live this quote. With their talent and skills, these women have opened a new path of livelihood for themselves. A group of women (Sakhi mandal) whose main financial source is cattle breeding, has carved a new path of income through its talent in traditional arts. Around 24 lakh women who are currently active under two lakh Sakhi Mandals or self-help groups (SHGs) in the state, are managing amounts to the tune of `1,000 crore through bank linkages.

sunshine has come to my life after joining the Mission Mangalam scheme for livelihood,” she says. Subhadraben told a few other women of her village about the scheme and under the Mission, these women trained in knitting and sewing. They used their newlyacquired skill to support their families comfortably. Because of her talent and hard work, today, Subhadraben is a trainer and teaches knitting to other women in self-help groups, and even makes them aware about other government developmental schemes.

Garbada village, Dahod district

Mission Mangalam is a blessing for women who want to be independent.

For example, Damor Lakshmiben Gopal Bhai and family from village Garbada of Dahod district were facing a financial crisis, struggling for basic needs of life. One fine day, Laksh-

miben got some information about the Mission Mangalam scheme and the benefits that come with it. She joined a women’s group with monthly saving of `30. They started to make bamboo baskets, dustpans, blowers and other items by investing their internal money.

With the help of these bamboo items, the women were able to meet their routine expenses with their income from retail sales; they were even able to save some amount of money.

Lakshmiben also was able to send her children to school; she can now save money on her own and is heading towards a good life with the help of Mission Mangalam.

Sonia Nazareth spends a day exploring Chittorgarh fort in Rajasthan, reliving its intriguing history 116 I SHUBH YATRA I MARCH 2018

A view of Chittorgarh Fort

The spotlight on Chittorgarh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the city in Rajasthan known for its ancient honeyhued fort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shines bright. Not least because this Mewar stronghold, often described as the largest fort complex in India, was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites a couple of years ago. But even without these international endorsements, Chittorgarh has long captured the imagination of those who have visited it. Every structure brims

with symbolic references to its intriguing past, driven by the power and valour that accompanied the lives of the Rajputs who flourished here.

Expectations suitably set, I take the twohour drive from Udaipur to Chittorgarh.

My first thought, as I drive closer, is that I have travelled through time and am now part of a vintage painting. Spread over approximately 280 hectare is a

cluster of palaces, gates, temples and commemorative towers; some of these sprawl over a hill, from where the fort seems to be guarding the sleepy town of Chittorgarh. Amid these, water bodies pepper the landscape. Less significant in number than they once were but present nonetheless, they appear in the form of ponds, wells and stepwells.

enemy. The larger-than-life gates were constructed in such a way that adversaries couldn’t observe or attack the fort, even while perched on elephant-back. The pointed arches on the gates were sturdily reinforced to fend off elephants and cannon shots. These were a necessity, as the fort is known to have faced violent attacks thrice in its history. The intricate architecture and the enormous scale of the fort bear testimony to the power and valour of the Rajput princely states that flourished in the region.

Queen Padmini’s palace is the next architectural treat. This exquisite palace is built on the banks of a lotus pool and has a pavilion that used to provide privacy to the women of the royal family.

TRAVEL TIPS While it’s easy to lose oneself while admiring the intricacy of the architecture and the legends surrounding the fort as narrated by tour guides, don’t forget to wear a hat.

The more time you spend in the fort, the deeper an insight you gain into it. For instance, the Tower of Fame, or the Kirti Stambh, is dedicated to the first Jain tirthankara, Adinathji (Adinatha). Nearby, the Kumbha Shyam Temple, constructed during the rule of Maharana (Rana) Kumbha, is built in the Indo-Aryan style popular in those times.

If you have a few extra hours in hand, drive to the nearby Bassi Sanctuary. It is a pleasant way to balance a day spent admiring architecture and history. The thicket of trees and a glorious sunset over the water bodies here provide occasion for meditative thought. If you happen to chance upon a flock of migratory birds, some curious wild boars or a nilgai, that’s an additional treat.

A fulfilling way to end the day is the sound-and-light show at Chittorgarh Fort. Here, as the historic buildings are illuminated and stories are retold, you’ll have time to reflect on the nature of bravery, the idea of chivalry and the cause of tragedy – predictable outcomes of epic adventures unfolding on a monumental landscape.

An aerial view of the Heart Reef in Queensland

The air tank I secured over my scuba gear weighed heavy on my small frame, but my instructor reassured me that I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel the weight underwater. He continued to explain the science behind it, but all my ears could hear was the sound of the water, lapping on the sides of the boat. I was about to tick scuba diving off my adventure bucket list and I could not have asked for a better place to do so than the Cod Hole Dive Site in Cairns, located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia.

Following my instructor, I soon found myself in the company of a group of potato cod (Epinephelus tukula) fish. With an average weight of 100 kg, these native Australian fish looked a tad scary with their spotted frames and rugged features, but once they began nibbling food from my hands, I reconsidered my first impression of them. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to mind my presence, apart from some occasional prodding and nudging, urging me to pet them, which I gladly did.

The potato cod is part of the vast array of marine life you will encounter up close and personal at the Great Barrier Reef. You can spot over 30 species of whale and dolphin, 1,625 species of fish, 33 species of shark and ray, and 600 types of hard and soft corals. It is genuinely one experience that should not be missed.

At Daintree, the world’s oldest tropical rainforest located a two-hour drive north of Cairns, I was transported to a magical land. Such is the beauty of the landscape that it is believed to have inspired the 2009 Hollywood movie Avatar, directed by James Cameron. Here, standing beneath the sprawling branches of a 600-millionyear-old zamia fern, with an underground trunk system that evolved in defence against dinosaurs, I recalled how Sir David Attenborough had described the forest as ‘the most extraordinary place on Earth.’ I explored the diversity of the flora and fauna here on a boat ride along the 140-km-long Daintree river, one of the longest on Australia’s east coast.

One of my earliest memories associated with Australia is Steve Irwin, whom the world lovingly called the “crocodile hunter”. As a child, he fascinated me with his fearlessness beside these ferocious reptiles, the way they listened when he spoke to them, and how he could get on their backs and feed them with his bare hands. His life’s mission was to raise awareness about animals and to tell the world that like humans, animals, too, need love and care. He had set up the Australia Zoo in Queensland with a vision to make

it one of the biggest and best wildlife conservation facilities in the world, and this was where I made friends with Snow, a resident koala bear.

She shook my hands while studying my face, as if contemplating whether or not to trust me. She leaned over from her eucalyptus branch, one limb at a time, and a few seconds later, had me in a warm, cuddly embrace. Here I also met Kato, the friendly 14-year-old wombat. It was some time before I realised that his sole aim was to get his paws on the corn cob in my hands! There was also Alima, a 15-yearold albino Burmese python. His beautiful scales are various shades of cream and bright yellow, instead of the regular brown, making him a real standout.

The zoo, currently run by Irwin’s family - his wife Terry, daughter Bindi and son Robert - along with a team of passionate conservationists, is home to over 1,200 inhabitants, including wombats, snakes, tigers, ring-tailed lemurs, kangaroos, giant Aldabran tortoises, macaws, boa constrictors and more. A real crowd-puller here, however, is the Crocoseum, letting thousands of visitors observe crocodiles in clear water ponds.

Daintree, the world’s oldest tropical rainforest, is believed to have inspired the 2009 Hollywood movie Avatar My love for wildlife then took me to Eungella National Park, one of Queensland’s most ecologically diverse parks, located in the state’s Mackay Region. The parkland is home to a number of unusual plants and animals, including the Eungella dayfrog, Mackay tulip oak, Eungella spiny cray and Eungella honeyeater.

I took a stroll down the banks of the Broken River here, spotting a few floating platypuses along the way.

The next stop on my itinerary was the Whitsundays, comprising 74 islands sitting pretty in the Great Barrier Reef. Aboard a glass-bottomed boat, I set sail along the breathtaking reefs and islands while being acutely aware of the throbbing marine ecosystem underneath. I island-hopped my way from Hamilton Island to Daydream Island, and finally to Hayman Island.

I was told that Whitehaven Beach, one of the region’s most popular, is located here.

But the short helicopter ride that I took over the iconic Heart Reef (a reef shaped like a heart) was the highlight of my visit to this stunning archipelago.

It was then at Lake Moogerah that I caught one of the most spectacular sunsets of my life. I have never seen the horizon change so many colours within such a short span of time.

From deep blue to peach to crimson – nature did have its own grand way of bringing the curtains down on the day. Here, standing beneath the stars, I closed my journal on my first whirlwind tour of Queensland.

On April 9, 1956, people in London stared in disbelief at their television screens. That night, a celebrated magician from India was given an opportunity to entertain the British audience. He was fresh off a triumphant tour of France, where he had received rave reviews.

THE KING OF

ILLUSION

Protul Chandra Sorcar single-handedly took Indian magic to the world and made headlines wherever he performed, says his son, magician Prodip Chandra Sorcar 128 I SHUBH YATRA I MARCH 2018

shubh-yatra.in

The magician was allotted 15 minutes on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) network, where he decided to perform his favourite act â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sawing a woman in half and putting her back together. He looked confident about the task at hand.

The gleaming circular saw went clean through the body of his young assistant, cutting her into two as she lay, apparently unconscious. It was then time to restore her to one piece and wake her from her magical stupor.

However, despite several attempts by the magician, the woman would not open her eyes. Meanwhile, his time was over. The BBC, a woman cut in two on live television notwithstanding, cut to the scheduled daily news.

Within minutes of the performance going off air, the BBC phone lines were jammed. Concerned viewers, who were convinced that they had witnessed a rather grisly murder on screen, called to enquire the fate of the poor assistant. It was all part of the magicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand plan; he had deliberately instructed her to lie unresponsive at the critical moment.

He ensured that when the network switched to the news, it would seem as if they did so to cover up the fact that the Indian magician may have

accidentally killed his assistant. The uproar was instantaneous and he made headlines the next day. That man was Protul Chandra Sorcar, one of India’s greatest magicians. He was also my father.

The royal costume

The story behind how my father was made to wear a royal ensemble is an interesting one. The maharaja of Jodhpur, Hanwant Singh, pursued magic as a hobby and learnt a few tricks from several magicians, including my father. Once, he decided to surprise his family and friends with his newfound talent and requested my father to help him with his performance. The duration of his performance, however, was rather short and to make up for the rest of the time, he invited my father to take over. But the distinguished gathering voiced its disdain, arguing that no commoner was supposed to participate in the show. The maharaja then got hold of a royal sherwani, a pagri and a taj of royal gems, and in that regal costume, my father went on to enthral the royal audience.

My father was a proud Indian and disliked wearing a Western suit for his performances. He had always been on a search for an attire that would define the ethos of his Indian spirit and befit the persona of a ‘prince of illusion’. His search ended here, and he did not let go of the look ever.

Father was very particular about maintaining the sanctity of his rehearsal room, as he believed it was essential for achieving perfection on stage. He held that magic is 30 per cent science and 70 per cent the art of demonstrating that science. And in order to master that art, one needs constant practice. He was wary of

letting me and my siblings enter the world of showbiz at a young age, a reason why his rehearsal room was closed to us. But I refused to bow out easily. I was quite young when I discovered a vent in the room adjoining his, from where I could see almost his entire rehearsal floor. From there I learnt my first lesson in magic.

I would take notes of everything he did – his expressions, body language, the experiments he conducted with his acts and the way he orchestrated everything. And later, in my room, I would practise everything in my mind.

But with time, I became impatient, not content with just practising. I would sneak into his room whenever he was not around, to study his notes and familiarise myself with the show plans he used to chalk out on a board.

He was in a fix – he had a housefull audience and no assistants for his show. I stepped in, confidently told him that I could be his assistant and went on to confess everything – about watching him from my hiding spot, going over his notes and even acted out the parts of his assistants!

He watched me intently. I made no mistakes. At the end of it, he looked relieved and immediately got me a costume. The show went on without a glitch and at the end of it, my father had the widest smile on his face. That was my greatest reward.

When I travel anywhere for a show, especially overseas, I am a cultural ambassador, much like Air India’s Maharajah. I absolutely love flying with the airline

It was 1958; I was 16 years old. Father was preparing for a show at the New Empire theatre hall in Kolkata (then Calcutta). He was going over his act with the troupe when some of his assistants started demanding a raise and even threatened to leave if their demand was not met. Father refused to give in to their pressure and they left.

TREATMENT

SMART MEASURE

HPL Electric and Power Ltd manufactures a range of smart energy meters

Minimally-invasive surgery allows quicker treatment of brain tumours Brain tumours create immense fear in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind; however, information about them is scarce.

A brain tumour is a growth of cells in the brain that multiplies in an abnormal, uncontrollable way and can develop in people of all ages. Primary brain tumours originate in the brain, and secondary tumours spread to the brain from cancerous tumours from other parts of the body.

Now the good news. Minimally invasive surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, removes brain and skull base tumours with minimal risk of collateral damage to the healthy brain, nerves and critical blood vessels.

Here, tumours are approached through smaller, more precise openings in the scalp and skull, or through the natural opening of the nose. These have made large, bony openings of the skull (known as a craniotomy) to remove tumours, almost obsolete.

Depending on the location of the tumour, keyhole surgery can be done through the nose (endonasal), through a small bony opening through the eyebrow (supraorbital), behind the ear (retromastoid) or through other scalp openings via endoscopes and microscopes t at pro ide a nification and etter tu our delineation. For tumours that cannot be completely removed, small, focused precision radiation (also know as radiosurgery) is used to effectively halt tumour growth.

Faster recovery times, less pain and discomfort, reduced risk of infection, shorter hospital stays and less visible scars are the advantages of minimally invasive surgery, possible due to advances in neuroimaging, navigation techniques, ultrasound and better anatomical understanding.

A smart energy meter is an electronic device that most accurately measures the amount of electricity consumed by a residence, business or any electrically-powered device. A smart meter is a reliable source for the most accurate information about energy consumed, reducing to minimum the chance of errors in the existing billing system.

Smart meters include first-generation smart meters or AMR meters and second-generation meters or AMI meters.

AMR meters provide for self-health check of the meter, data communication using secure and open standard protocols, periodic upgrade of meter software remotely over the transmission network, multi-utility metering capabilities, consumption data acquisition and demand management and control. Comparatively, AMI meters or smart meters provide effective utilisation and management of metering data, automatic management of meters, two-way communication with meters, and demand response capabilities, further providing data to implement energy efficiency practices.

HPL Electric and Power Ltd, an established electric equipment manufacturing company in India, manufactures a diverse portfolio of electric equipment, including metering solutions, switchgears, LED lighting, and wire and cables, catering to consumer and institutional customers in the electrical equipment industry. HPL's manufacturing capabilities are supported by a large sales and distribution network with a pan-India presence. The company currently manufactures and sells its products under the umbrella brand HPL, which has been registered in India since 1975.

AN EXPERIMENT IN SOCIAL ENGINEERING IndianOil runs an all-woman prison fuel pump at Chanchalguda, Hyderabad

“I have been in prison for six years for a murder case. Thanks to the efforts of our jail superintendent and IndianOil, I am now a changed individual. Working here at the petrol pump gives me a new lease of life,” says Godavari, a released prisoner from Chanchalguda prisons who works as an attendant at the IndianOil prison fuel pump.

While everything begins with an idea, at Chanchalguda's all-woman run prison fuel pump, IndianOil, has made an idea happen. When the prison authorities gave a go-ahead for this thought of an all-women prison fuel pump retail outlet (RO), IndianOil immediately sprung to action to make it happen. It is said that ideas shape history. The released prisoners, especially women, face social ostracism and neglect. In order to ensure that released women prisoners merge with the society seamlessly and to provide a springboard for them, this novel thought of an all-woman prison fuel pump took shape.

“We are happy that IndianOil is playing a sterling role in correctional behavior efforts of prison authorities in Hyderabad and helping them to merge with the society seamlessly,” says Rahul Bhardwaj, executive director (ED), IndianOil. The special jail for women at Chanchalguda central prison, wit support fro IndianOi set up t e first fue pu p to be operated by women prisoners at Hyderabad as a part of the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between IndianOil Corporation Ltd and Telangana prisons department.

The fuel pump is being operated by selected and released women prisoners and managed by Basheera Begum, superintendent, special prison for women.

With 25 released prisoners being employed to run the outlet, 'Everyone deserves a chance’ is the motto behind the success of this outlet. Being an integral part of this social re-engineering effort, it is IndianOil’s way of extending its hand to the prisoners to say: "Do not be a prisoner of your own past! We are here to help you!"

Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19)

Taurus (Apr 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-Jun 20)

March is a month of possibilities. You will explore love and adopt a compassionate approach towards life. A man will play an important role and guide you in many ways. It’s time to take charge and keep moving forward in your career.

Legal deals, contracts and agreements will fall into place this month. If you are involved in litigation, victory is certain.

Follow your intuition, as it will guide you well. A strong woman will influence your decisions.

Fun and frolic are on the cards. There are possibilities of a marriage, buying a new home or shifting to a better place.

Some difficulties may arise at work.

Do not lose heart. Stay on and fight, as victory is definite.

Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22)

Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22)

Expect to see some good times, as marriage, prosperity, wealth and health will come knocking. News of child birth is also a possibility. You will feel complete and accomplished this month and may take a break from work.

You may find it difficult to make a decision on a certain matter. Take some time and patiently think it through. The solution is within you, so don’t seek it outside. You will take on something new, remarkable and adventurous.

You will have all that it takes to be happy.

A long-cherished wish will come true. You will be ready to end something only to start afresh. The wheel of life is turning in your favour. Practise gratitude towards the universe during this phase.

Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22)

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21)

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21)

Don’t be disheartened by any disappointing news that may come your way. Remember, at the end of every dark tunnel, there is light. Good news lies ahead, and will bring better prospects, especially in professional matters.

You will be absorbed in work, multitasking and spearheading various projects. A woman may offer help, which will prove useful. Watch your finances this month, as expenditures are likely. This phase is, however, temporary.

If things do not go according to your plan, do not fret. It is best to adopt a positive approach towards life. You may end a futile association. Trust the universe for a better future, as beyond every end lies renewal.

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18)

You will have a beautiful month and spend happy moments with possibilities of overseas travel. Some good news related to work is on its way, which will set the course for positive developments in the months to come.

You will put a much-needed end to an arrangement that wasn’t working for you. The outcome of this decision will be positive, as new developments will come your way. Have patience, as good news is on the cards.

You may have to deal with some significant revelations, as a result of which you may have to walk out of an arrangement. It will hurt, but trust the universe, as this is the best thing you can do in the present situation.
