WHO IS TIRTHANKARA? In Jainism, a Tirthankar : “Fordmaker or Propagator“; also Tirthankara or Jina) is a human being who achieves enlightenment (perfect knowledge) through asceticism and who then becomes a role-model teacher for those seeking spiritual guidance. A Tirthankar is a special sort arihant, who establishes the fourfold religious order consisting of monks, nuns, laymen and laywomen after achieving omniscience. After achieving enlightenment, a Tirthankar shows others the path to enlightenment. At the end of his human lifespan, a Tirthankar achieves liberation (‘moksh’ or nirvan’), ending the cycle of infinite births and deaths. Jains believe that exactly twenty four Tirthankars are born in each half cycle of time in this part of the universe. As Tirthankars direct us to enlightenment, their statues are worshipped in Jain temples by Jains aspiring to achieve enlightenment. Tirthankars are not God or gods. Jainism does not believe in the existence of God in the sense of a creator, but in godss as beings, superior to humans but, nevertheless, not fully enlightened. Twenty-one of the Tirthakaras are said to have attained Moksha in the Kayotsarga (standing mediation) posture; Rishabha, Nemi; and Mahavira on the padmasana (lotus throne poisture). The 24 Tirthankaras who achieved liberation (‘moksha’ or nirvana’), ending the cycle of infinite births and deaths, are considered to be the creator of Jain religion. They are divine elements of Jainism. They have attained all the achievement of ultimate nature including the ultimate knowledge after making vigirous efforts. The answer to this question can be perhaps available from the 87th stanza of “Yashstilakchulikc” scripture written by Acharya Somdev Suri. He observes: “There are indefinite number of Grahas (Planets) – Nakshatras – Stars (Heavenly elements in the sky). But their numbers are shown to be limited by the rule of nature. In the present era of Utsarpini time-span, there are 24 times only when these heavenly elements are positioned in the best
location. This is a certainty. Therefore there are only 24 Tirthankaras only not a one less not a one more.”
Why do the Jainas worship the Tirthankars? Umaswami, a great Jaina Acharya has expressed the object of Jain worship of Tirthankar in precise terms in the opening verse of his renowned exposition of the principles of reality according to Jainism in Tattvartha sutra; णमो अ रहं ताणं णमो स ाणं णमो आइ रयाणम ् णमो उव झायाणं णमो लोए स वसाहूणम ् “I bow to Lord, the promulgator of the path liberation , the destroyer of mountains of Karmas and the knower of the whole of reality, so that I may realise these qualities.” The object of Jain worship is therefore not to seek favours but to cultivate a frame of mind to seek guidance, to meditate on the path of Liberation as taught by the Tirthamkars. As noted by Dr. A.N. Upadhye, a great Prakrit scholar of Jainism, “ By God Jainism understands a liberated soul as well as a Tirthankar, who is the highest spiritual ideal after which every soul can aspire; the God is an example to inspire and guide. Thus the basis of the Jain conception is different from Hinduism . Though the God is not a creator, the Jain religion neither lacks devotional fervour nor ceremonial rituals. Jains offer prayers to him, worship him both in concept and in concrete , and meditate on him. Respectful prayers are offered to the Tirthankaras, liberated soul, preceptor, preacher and monk because these represent various stages of the souls spiritual progress. Such a routine keeps one vigilant about one’s ideal warning every time that one is to depend on oneself to destroy the Karmas. Jainism is thus a religion of self help and can be practised by the self reliant, strong and brave.” (Jainism by Colette Caillat, Dr. A.N. Upadhye, Bal Patil , Macmillan, 1974)
IGCSE BOARD
Today, parents have a plethora of educational boards from which to choose, to enroll their child/ren. It is not just the SSC (Secondary School Certificate) or ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education). Get Ahead presents a series of articles on the educational boards gaining popularity today. This is a look at the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) board. The International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is a globally recognized qualification, taken at the Class 10 level, similar to the Class 10 examinations of the CBSE and ICSE or the middle years Programme of the IB. IGCSE, formed in 1988, is a comprehensive twoyear programme, spread over Class 9 and 10, and leads to the final examinations offered every year in May and November. IGCSE assessment is conducted by two UK assessment bodies: Edexcel (also known as London Examinations) and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) (see below). A student who has passed IGCSE is eligible for any +2 level qualifications, like Class 12 CBSE/ ICSE or any international pre-university programme, like the IB Diploma, Advanced Placement Diploma (US), and A/AS Level & AICE (UK).
How does the IGCSE compare to other programme like CBSE, ICSE or the Middle Years Programme of the IB? Like other modern programme, IGCSE offers a wider range of subjects and encourages high academic standards through a practical approach to teaching and learning. Assessment is not limited to conventional written papers and they consist of a variety of tests e.g. oral and listening tests.
The assessment is aimed at a wide ability range of students, with an eight-point grading scale, from A+ to G, with A+ being the highest. IGCSE is a balanced curriculum and a flexible course of study. Most subjects offer a choice between core curriculum and extended curriculum. This gives students of all ability levels the freedom to choose subjects that are right for them and, thereby, the opportunity to score good grades. The core curriculum is an overview of the subject and is suitable for students who are expected to achieve grades C to G. The extended curriculum is, sort of, a specialisation in that subject. It is more challenging and designed for students who are expected to achieve grades A+ to C. While the syllabi and curricula of both IB MYP and IGCSE have an international outlook, IGCSE appears to be slightly better, in that it is tailored for a more multi-cultural and more multi-lingual audience. Does the IGCSE start only in Class 9? What about the primary years? Can a student do IGCSE after completing his/ her earlier schooling through a different board? Currently, IGCSE is a two-year programme starting at the Class 9 level. A student who has done his/ her early schooling from any other board can join the IGCSE programme at the Class 9 level. CIE has declared the launch of its new Cambridge International Primary Programme in June this year. The introduction of this programme means students will be able to study the IGCSE from age five through age18.
What are the subjects in the IGCSE curriculum? There are five Subject Groups in IGCSE with several subjects to choose from, in each group:
universities everywhere, more so in the UK and other Commonwealth countries. 3. The IGCSE curriculum is balanced and lends an international perspective to studies. It also takes account of differing abilities of students. 4. IGCSE students can take advantage of the Cambridge Checkpoint, a diagnostic service comprising of standardised tests, that pin-points a student's strengths and weaknesses in key curriculum areas.
What are Edexcel and CIE? Group 1: Languages (First Language, Second Language, Foreign Language, etc) Group 2: Humanities and Social Sciences (Geography, English Literature, History, etc) Group 3: Sciences (Bio, Chemistry, Physics, etc) Group 4: Maths (Maths, Additional Maths, etc) Group 5: Creative, Technical & Vocational (Accounting, Business Studies, Computer Studies, Music, etc) For each subject, the certificate merely indicates the grades scored, and not pass or fail. Five scores of 'C' or higher indicates a students readiness to pursue +2 level qualifications, like the Class 12 CBSE, IB Diploma, Advanced Placement Diploma (US), etc.
What is the International Certificate of Education (ICE) that is awarded to some IGCSE students? The ICE is more prestigious than the standard IGCSE. Instead of the five papers needed to obtain the IGCSE, if a student attempts and passes seven or more papers, s/he is awarded the ICE. The seven subjects must be as follows: Two subjects from the language group One from each of the other four groups One more from any of the five groups
Why should I select IGCSE for my child? 1. IGCSE is one of the most sought-after and recognised qualifications in the world. It develops and encourages vital educational skills, including oral skills, investigative skills, problem solving, team work, recall of knowledge, and initiative. 2. The IGCSE programme has worldwide status and credibility. In India [ Images ], the course is delivered in over 130 schools with the number expected to touch 600 by 2008. It is recognised by the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) as being at par with CBSE, ICSE, etc. Worldwide, it is delivered in schools in over 140 countries and is recognised by colleges and
Edexcel is the UK's largest academic qualifications awarding body. It was formed in 1996 by the merger of two wellrespected bodies, BTEC (the Business & Technology Education Council), and ULEAC (the University of London Examinations and Assessment Council). In 2003, Edexcel merged with the education giant, Pearson PLC, to set up a new company called Edexcel Limited, which is 75% owned by Pearson and 25% by the Edexcel Foundation. CIE is the international division of University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES). UCLES is another UK-based academic qualifications awarding body, known for its professional, rigorous and high standard assessments. UCLES is a department of the University of Cambridge, which was formed in the year 1207, and is one of the oldest and most reputed universities in the world.
What is a Cambridge International Centre? What is an Edexcel Centre or a London Examinations Centre? Schools that are accredited to Edexcel or CIE for the conduct of the IGCSE programme are known as Edexcel Centres or Cambridge International Centres. From parents' or students' perspective, there is little difference between the two. Some schools are accredited to Edexcel and some to CIE. For example, DPS International in Delhi [ Images ] is an Edexcel IGCSE centre, while the Pathways World School in Gurgaon is a CIE IGCSE centre. Then there are some like Calcutta International School in Kolkata [ Images ] and British School in Delhi, which are centres of both Edexcel and CIE. More than the assessment body, parents need to think about which school is better for their child.
Diwali is around the corner and decorating the diyas for lighting up the occasion is one fun activity to do. Many diyas are lit in and around the house and a very time consuming diya decoration for close to a hundred diyas, wouldn’t be the best option. So here are a few diya decoration ideas which can be done real quick to add an extra sparkle to your festive season.
Glimpse of the Result:
For this you will need: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Diyas Acrylic colors (preferably metallic) Kundan/Rhine stones Glue Sparkle glue
How to decorate Diyas: Step 1: Take a diya (preferably a new one, mine was an old one which underwent some cleaning!) and remove any dust or impurities. The traditional diya made out of mud and clay is always the best.
Step 2: Paint two coats of an acrylic color of choice and allow the coats to dry.
Step 3: Using sparkle glue, make a simple pattern either in the inside or/and on the edges as per your design. Allow the sparkle glue to dry.
Step 4: Paste rhine stones using white glue or any other firm adhesive. Once the stones are glued on firmly, you can use a little sparkle glue to enhance the design if needed. A simple diya decoration is done. You can experiment with different colors and designs as per your whims and fancies.
Once you start lighting the diyas, there could be slight discoloration of the decoration, but nothing more. The time spent on the decoration is still worth it!
KARNALA is 61 kms South of Mumbai, on the Mumbai-Goa highway. It is about 10 km from Panvel. At a height of 445 mts above sea level, Karnala is known for the thumb shaped pinnacle on top and the bird sanctuary around. The sanctuary is home to 147 species of resident and 37 species of migratory birds who visit the sanctuary during winters. Among the birds seen here are paradise fly catcher, magpie robin, malabar whistling trush, racket-tailed drongo, golden backed woodpecker, crested serpent eagle etc. Two rare birds i.e. Ashy Minimet and Spotted heart woodpeckers have been sighted here. Karnala pinnacle is a favourite spot for professional mountain climbers. Best time to visit for bird watching is from October to April. However if one wants to enjoy the greenery, it has to be during the monsoons.
History The Karnala fort was built during the 12th century. Karnala was of strategic importance because of its command of the highroad between Bhor Ghat and the rivers of Panvel and Apta, watching the trade route. Between 1248 and 1318, it was under DevgYada. From 1318 to 1347, it was under Daulatabad Muslim rulers. Subsequently it was with the Gujarat rulers, with the help of Portuguese. It changed hands many times between Shivaji, Mughals and Peshwas. It 1803, it came under Bhaji Rao and in 1819, Britishers took control of the fort. Popular with avid birdwatchers and trekkers, Karnala Bird Sanctuary lies about 60 km from Mumbai and 10 km from Panvel. The
sanctuary is also famous for the 11th century fort of the same name. Straddling the Mumbai-Goa highway, the sanctuary is quite small as it is spread over 12.11 sq km in Raigad district of Maharashtra. Home to over 150 species of resident and 37 species of migratory birds, three rare birds – Ashy Minivet, Three-toed kingfisher and Malabar Trogon – have also been sighted at the park. Nestled in the Sahyadri hills, Karnala is popular as picnic spot and as a trekkers paradise. Categorized as an easy climb, some stretches of the trail can get a tad difficult. However, Karnala is good place to start trekking. The sanctuary comprises of moist deciduous forest. The forest department has made efforts to educate the visitors by tagging several trees inside the forest. Principally a bird sanctuary, other forms wildlife too exists. Wild boar, common langur and rhesus monkeys are common. There are four nature trails in the sanctuary. Though safe, it is advisable to hire local youths as guides for the long trails. The trail leading to Karnala fort, also called Funnel Hill, is most popular. The 125-feet high basalt pillar at the centre of the fort, sticks out like a thumb which earned it the sobriquet of Karnala Thumbs up point. It was a favourite spot for rock climbing. However, the presence of several bee hives have made it risky and no one attempts it now. Karnala has two distinct seasons for birdwatching. Monsoon is the best season to spot the Malabar whistling thrush, the magpie robin and the paradise flycatcher. Winter is the best time to spot migratory birds. The blue throat, the black headed cuckoo-shrike, the blue-headed rock-thrush, blackbird and the red breasted flycatcher flock to the sanctuary during winter.
WHERE TO STAY Karnala has a guest house run by the forest department located close to the sanctuary gate. A day is more than enough to discover Karnala. Beides there are a lot of resorts surrounding Karnala Bird Sanctuary in case you are planning to spend a weekend there.
Panaromic Resort Rs. 2500 to Rs. 8500 As Per Plan
WHERE TO EAT There are no options to eat inside the park. Visitors generally carry food and water. Kamat hotels and several other dhabas are located at a close distance from the sanctuary gate. BEST TIME TO VISIT Karnala can be visited all through the year. Avoid the sanctuary during heavy rains as the trails tend to get slippery.

You don’t have to completely avoid salt and sugar but limit your daily intake to avoid heart problems. Cut off from indulgences in cakes, pastries and creamy food items.
YOU CAN PREVENT DENGUE FEVER
Life can be saved on timely diagnoses, but severe dengue can lead to deadly complications. Since treatment for dengue is scarce it is important to do everything to prevent dengue fever. Here are some important steps you can follow: Inform your local municipal committee to disinfect your area with insecticide. The basic step is to empty out flower pots to avoid breeding of mosquitoes.
A true romantic whose films shaped ideas about love for generations of Indians, Yash Chopra died of Dengue a couple of days back. 80-year-old Yash Chopra was called 'the maker of dreams', and he taught a generation to fall in love the exaggerated way, with sunflower fields, Swiss locations and larger than life scenes. He created magic on screen, something his films' fans loved as it took them away from their monotonous lives.
Clear out leaves and stagnant water in your area, it is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. Clearing stagnant water from coolers is also important.
While directing his last romantic film Jab Tak hai Jaan, Yash Chopra was bitten by a dengue infected mosquito resulting in high fever, headache, body pain and rash on the body. Even though Yash Chopra was administered in one of Mumbai's best hospital and was under the supervision of the best doctors, he lost the battle in a matter of days. According to Dr Prakash Jiandani, who treated Chopra, " Dengue treatment should ideally start as soon as possible. However in Chopra's case, 48 hours had already passed at the time he was admitted to the hospital." So chances of his survival , at a critical stage, and given his age, were slim. Till date, there are no vaccines that can prevent you from the dengue virus. But there are ways to prevent mosquitoes from breeding and personal care can also avert the dengue fever. If an aedes mosquito is infected with any four of the dengue virus types, you will experience dengue symptoms anywhere between 3-14 days.
If you have any open manhole, gutters or drains it is important to cover these openings.
Use mosquito repellents and mosquito nets. Dengue fever is an epidemic associated with tropical countries and India is currently fighting its onslaught as it spreads across Karnatka, Bengal, Delhi, and now Mumbai. With Yash Chopra’s death, will the officials finally wake up to this deadly virus?
WHAT DOES 2013 HAVE IN STORE FOR US On December 21, 2012, we are supposed to see the end of the world. I'm thinking that won't happen, and I hope it won't, since I enjoy being alive, writing on the internet, and driving fast cars. Plus, there's a lot to look forward to in 2013 that I don't want to miss. A few days after the supposed end of days, as we're opening up Christmas presents, happy to be alive on the brink of a new year, we will be one step closer to the greatest technological revolution mankind has ever experienced. Although we never truly know for sure what technology the future will bring us, we've got a pretty good idea for what's in store for us next year. 2013 may not be the year man and machine become one but there will certainly be plenty of new gadgets for us to play with.
Memristors are the answer. In their current form, a resistor is a passive component with a set resistance value. Memristors, on the other hand, have the ability to change their resistance based on the direction of current running through them. In addition to that, you can power down a device using memristors, and they will remember their last state when powered back on. This is expected to completely eliminate boot times from computer devices, which will in turn allow us to power them down on a regular basis, drastically reducing power usage and increasing battery life. This technology is said to be capable of neural net processing, allowing it to mimic the human brain. Taken further, scientists believe that human skin and blood can be used as memristors. While this has some great implications…it also may be cause for fear…

MIT's Folding Electric Car to be released in 2013 Source: Hiroko
Hiroko - MIT's Folding Car The Massachusetts Institution of Technology (MIT) has their sights set on being the catalyst for finally pushing the electric automobile revolution over the edge. In 2013, the Hinoko (meaning "urban car," pictured above) will be released to the masses across Europe (With a small few areas in the U.S.), making the Smart Car look even more ridiculous than it already does with its sleek design and new age features.
I’ve built a love/hate relationship with Google over the years. I remember the day when “Google” was nothing but a single page with a logo and a text box. Now we’ve got Google mail, a Google social network, Google phones and tablets loaded with the Google operating system. What is the logical next step? Google Goggles of course. Tell me you didn’t see that one coming. (Ok, I didn’t.) Google’s new line of smart specs are going to put a little screen right in front of your eyes as you walk around going about your life. This screen will present to you an augmented reality overlay as you view the world around you. The Google Goggles are reported to have built in 4G with GPS technology, a camera, and a Bluetooth connection to Android based phones.
One of the best characteristics of the Hiroko is that it is incredibly easy to park in small spaces, with its ability to fit in one third of a parking space after being "folded" up. Yes, that's right, three of these things fit into one regular old parking space. Since European cities are known to be rather crowded, this will be a welcomed feature. The initial plan is for city governments to run a program similar to ZipCar, promoting the use of the Hiroko. The downside? A 75 mile range, so don't go thinking you can start a new Hiroko Taxi service. You will fail miserably.
Memristor Technology The basic message of Moore’s law tells us that advancements in technology will cause computer chip performance to double every two years. So far this has held true; and if it continues, we will run face first into a brick wall somewhere around 2020 due to simple physical limitations.

Smart Skin Phones Samsung has filed a patent for smart device-skin which will supposedly be able to take any digital image, and display that image across the skin of the device. The patent describes a layer of film that wraps the phone, covering the entire phone except the sockets, the camera, and the screen. Little else is known about this technology (other than it’s awesome), but it is described as a possible feature for an upcoming phone, as well as being available as an accessory to fit onto most other devices. While little information has been released to the public, including a release date, we do know of another upcoming Samsung device that just might be the aforementioned phone….

It automatically detects your activities and keeps track of things such as calories burned, heart rate, sleeping patterns, and other physical activities. I’ve never been a huge fan of health monitors in the past, but a device that can monitor my sleep patterns on top of everything else may be just what I need.
Fujitsu Lifebook 2013 Ok so you’re the guy who leaves home with a digital camera strung around his neck, a backpack to carry his laptop, a tablet in his briefcase, and a phone in his pocket? Well, you’re just weird. That said, Fujitsu has the answer for you…weird folk. AMOLED bendy phones by Samsung Source: MyGreatPhone.com
Bendy Screen Smartphone Yes, the bendy screen smartphone. For those of you who are technologically illiterate, a bendy screen smartphone is a smartphone touting a screen that we can bend! Yep. Who doesn’t want to bend and twist their phone into silly shapes sometimes? It's the best way to let out your anger, other than just throwing the thing against a wall. Using Samsung’s already demoed OLED display technology, we can be expecting a new phone model that will allow us to bend it, roll it up, and hit it with a hammer. (YES!) We already have the specs for this phone as well. The phone debuted as the “Galaxy Skin” (wait..did that say…skin?) features a highres 800×480 AMOLED screen, 8mp camera and 1Gb of RAM as well as a 1.2GHz processor.
The Fujitsu Lifebook, coming in 2013, combines all of these fancy pieces of technology into one. Ditch everything else, keep the laptop backpack. Need a camera? Detach the laptop’s camera to be used as a handheld digital camera. Tablet? Open it up and pull that out as well. Put it back in and the tablet immediately displays itself as a touch-screen keyboard for the laptop. There is even a spot where you can attach and remove a special cell phone, which I imagine acts as the cellular modem for the laptop when attached. (Don’t be surprised if this allows you to make video phone calls from the laptop as well.) The price is undetermined, but don’t expect it to be cheap.
Don’t be surprised to see bendy screen tablets released shortly after.

When people use the term "day trading", they mean the act of buying and selling a stock within the same day. Day traders seek to make profits by leveraging large amounts of capital to take advantage of small price movements in highly liquid stocks or indexes. Here we look at some common day trading strategies that can be used by retail traders. Tutorial: An Introduction To Technical Analysis Entry Strategies Certain stocks are ideal candidates for day trading. A typical day trader looks for two things in a stock: liquidity and volatility. Liquidity allows you to enter and exit a stock at a good price (i.e. tight spreads and low slippage). Volatility is simply a measure of the expected daily price range - the range in which a day trader operates. More volatility means greater profit or loss.
Once you know what kinds of stocks you are looking for, you need to learn how to identify possible entry points. There are three tools you can use to do this: • • •
Intraday Candlestick Charts - Candles provide a raw analysis of price action. Level II Quotes/ECN - Level II and ECN provide a look at orders as they happen. Real-Time News Service - News moves stocks. This tells you when news comes out.
We will look at the intraday candlestick charts and focus on the following three factors: • • •
Candlestick Patterns - Engulfings and dojis Technical Analysis - Trendlines and triangles Volume - Increasing or decreasing volume
There are many candlestick setups that we can look for to find an entry point. If properly used, the doji reversal pattern (highlighted in yellow in Figure 1) is one of the most reliable ones.
Figure 1: Looking at candlesticks the highlighted doji signals a reversal. Typically, we will look for a pattern like this with several confirmations: •
• •
First, we look for a volume spike, which will show us whether traders are supporting the price at this level. Note that this can be either on the doji candle, or on the candles immediately following it. Second, we look for prior support at this price level. For example, the prior low of day (LOD) or high of day (HOD). Finally, we look at the Level II situation, which will show us all the open orders and order sizes.
If we follow these three steps, we can determine whether the doji is likely to produce an actual turnaround, and we can take a position if the conditions are favorable. Typically, entry points are found using a combination of these three tools. (For more see the Charting Section of the Forex Walkthrough.)
Finding a Target Identifying a price target will depend largely on your trading style. Here is a brief overview of some common day trading strategies:
Strategy Scalping
Description Scalping is one of the most popular strategies, which involves selling almost immediately after a trade becomes profitable. Here the price target is obviously just after profitability is attained.
Fading
Fading involves shorting stocks after rapid moves upwards. This is based on the assumption that (1) they are overbought, (2) early buyers are ready to begin taking profits and (3) existing buyers may be scared out. Although risky, this strategy can be extremely rewarding. Here the price target is when buyers begin stepping in again.
Daily Pivots
This strategy involves profiting from a stock's daily volatility. This is done by attempting to buy at the low of the day (LOD) and sell at the high of the day (HOD). Here the price target is simply at the next sign of a reversal, using the same patterns as above.
Momentum
This strategy usually involves trading on news releases or finding strong trending moves supported by high volume. One type of momentum trader will buy on news releases and ride a trend until it exhibits signs of reversal. The other type will fade the price surge. Here the price target is when volume begins to decrease and bearish candles start appearing.
You can see that, although the entries in day trading strategies typically rely on the same tools used in normal trading, the exits are where the differences occur. In most cases, however, you will be looking to exit when there is decreased interest in the stock (indicated by the Level II/ECN and volume). (For further reading, see Introduction To Types Of Trading: Momentum Traders and Introduction To Types Of Trading: Scalpers.) Determining a Stop-Loss When you trade on margin, you are far more vulnerable to sharp price movements than regular traders. Therefore, using stop-losses is crucial when day trading. One strategy is to set two stop losses: 1. A physical stop-loss order placed at a certain price level that suits your risk tolerance. Essentially, this is the most you want to lose. 2. A mental stop-loss set at the point where your entry criteria are violated. This means that if the trade makes an unexpected turn, you'll immediately exit your position. Retail day traders usually also have another rule: set a maximum loss per day that you can afford (both financially and mentally) to withstand. Whenever you hit this point, take the rest of the day off. Inexperienced traders often feel the need to make up losses before the day is over and end up taking unnecessary risks as a result. (To learn more, see The Stop-Loss Order - Make Sure You Use It.) Evaluating and Tweaking Performance Many people get into day trading expecting to make triple digit returns every year with minimal effort. In reality, many day traders lose money. However, by using a well-defined strategy that you are comfortable trading, you can improve your chances of beating the odds. How do you evaluate performance? Most day traders evaluate performance not so much by a percentage of gain or loss, but rather by how closely they adhere to their individual strategies. In fact, it is far more important to follow your strategy closely than to try to chase profits. By keeping this mindset, you make it easier to identify where problems exist and how to solve them. The Bottom Line Day trading is a difficult skill to master. As a result, many of those who try it fail. But the techniques described above can help you create a profitable strategy and, with enough practice and consistent performance evaluation, you can greatly improve your chances of beating the odds.
YASH CHOPRA a man who redefined romance in Hindi cinema almost every time he made a film, Yash Chopra might be synonymous with the genre but to think of him as the mere Pasha of Romance would be incorrect. The late king of romance might have been a die-hard romantic but there was a time when his characters weren’t limited to prancing in the Swiss Alps or walking Zurich’s cobbled streets. Years before he instructed us to never give up the search for that unknown someone special made just for you, Chopra was the very change that defined commercial Hindi cinema. Unlike the designer love stories that would be forever associated with his name, Chopra’s first few films were anything but escapist. The legendary BR Chopra’s younger brother, Yash Chopra’s first film Dhool Ka Phool (1959) might have had romance as a stepping stone, but the film dealt with the social prejudice that compel a young woman to abandon her child born out of wedlock.Today, the film might largely be recalled for academic reasons of being Yash Chopra’s debut but things like the brilliant Sahir Ludhianvi song Tu Hindu Banega Na Musalmaan Banega still stir up emotions. His next film Dharamputra (1961) was about communal disharmony in turbulent times, but it wasn’t till his 1965 smash hit Waqt that Chopra truly announced his arrival. There are many firsts attached with Yash Chopra but one rarely attributes the birth of the multi-starers to him. The tale of a man who loses his three sons only to find them later, the stylized Waqtwas a clean break from Chopra’s previous films and also sowed the seeds of the ‘lost and found’ formula that was to be later used to the hilt by Manmohan Desai. Replete with great songs (Aye Meri Zoharajabeen, Aage Bhi Jaane Na Tu), uber cool one-liners (Yeh chaaku hai, lag jaye to khoon nikal aata hai or Jinke khud ke ghar sheeshe ke ho voh dusron ke ghar pe patthar nahin fenka karte), and suave villains like Chinoy Seth-Waqt presented Hindi cinema with a perfect template of action,
drama, romance and great tunes that still gets the job done. The success of Waqt made Chopra the great new hope of Hindi cinema and he kept up the promise. What made Yash Chopra stand out from the others was that from his first film he never allowed the socalled rules of Hindi cinema to confine him. Even if his films had a typical formula, his execution would ensure that they escape the trappings. In Aadmi Aur Insaan(1969) he gave us the anti-hero who wasn’t apologetic for being rich or even bending the rules and would provide the platform for the Angry Young Man of the 1970s; in Itefaq (1969) he experimented with one location and no songs, and with Daag (1973) he boldly made bigamy acceptable in mainstream cinema. If Daag allowed him to free himself from any possible shackles that Hindi cinema might impose on a filmmaker, with Deewar (1975) he changed the rules forever. Breaking a lot of trappings of popular cinema, Deewar was an instant classic and continues to stand the test of time. All through the 1970’s Chopra would return to this simmering rage with films likeTrishul (1978) and Kaala Patthar (1979). Even the brief romantic interlude in between this trilogy, Kabhie-Kabhie (1976), a film that revealed the soft and romantic side of Chopra, had at its center a variation of the angry young man. It’s ironical that the films that associated the image of cinematic romance with Yash Chopra were his biggest boxoffice failures. With Silsila (1981) Yash Chopra introduced us to the women in white, the tulip beds of Holland, the love songs and eternal search for the perfect partner but the film that created the guise of the king of romance was rejected by the audiences. If the rumored real life reel portrayal of the Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bhaduri-Rekha triangle didn’t gel with the audiences, the Mills & Boon inspired May-October romance of Lamhe (1991) was also lost on them. But the image that Silsila created only became more eminent with Lamhe with a little help from Chandni (1989), Dil To Pagal Hai(1997) and Veer-Zaara (2004) to such an extent that an entire generation conceivably
believes that there isn’t anything more than sarees and Switzerland to Yash Chopra! On the eve of Darr’s (1993) release in 1993, Yash Chopra said in an interview that he’d like to die with his boots on. In a few weeks Chopra’s final film, Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) will release and the title of his swansong says it all- much like the films he made, Yash Chopra left script that life gave him better than when he found it. Better known as the king of romance in Bollywood, Yash Chopra has passed away. The filmmaker was admitted to the Lilavati hospital in Mumbai on October 13, 2012, he was suffering from dengue. He passed away on October 21. He was 80-year-old. The news came as a surprise for all his fans and the film industry as well. He is survived by his wife Pamela and two sons, Aditya and Uday. Yash Chopra turned 80 on September 27 and during an interview with Shah Rukh Khan he announced that ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ will be his last film as a director. The filmmaker, who started his journey with ‘Dhool Ka Phool’ in 1959, helped many actors in making their place in Bollywood. From Amitabh Bachchan to Shah Rukh Khan, Yash Chopra gave a distinct identity to all his actors. Here are the most iconic characters Yash Chopra created... The angry young man Vijay of ‘Deewar’: The film established Amitabh Bachchan as the angry young man of Bollywood. Right from Amitabh’s stylish look to his ‘Aaj khush to bahut hoge tum’ dialogue, the film changed his image in the film industry. The movie did exceptionally well at the box office too and won seven Filmfare awards. Thanks to ‘Deewar’, Vijay became Amitabh’s most popular screen name. ‘Noorie’: Yash Chopra had a special connection with Kashmir. His love for the picturesque valley was evident from his films. Poonam Dhillon played a Kashmiri girl in 1979 film ‘Noorie’. It is undoubtedly one of the most successful films of her career. ‘Chandni’: Sridevi, is best known for Yash Chopra’s romantic film ‘Chandni’. She was cast
opposite Rishi Kapoor and Vinod Khanna in the film. Be it the ‘Mere hathon me nau nau choodiyan’ song or the honeymoon dream sequence, Sridevi got a chance to prove her mettle as an actress with the film. Her character was so beautifully crafted that the film looks interesting even now. Ki Ki Ki Kiran from ‘Darr’: More than Juhi Chawla who was actually named Kiran in the film, Shah Rukh Khan became famous for this dialogue. Though Shah Rukh played a negative character in this psychological thriller, the film really changed his career graph. Raj Malhotra of ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’: Thanks to Yash Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are still called one of the best on screen couples in Bollywood. After ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’, the name Raj Malhotra has become synonymous with SRK. No wonder he was named Raj in many other films after DDLJ. Narayan Shankar of ‘Mohabbatein’: “Parampara, pratishtha aur anushasan, yeh is Gurukul ke teen stambh hain.” When Amitabh Bachchan was facing a tough time in Bollywood, it was Yash Chopra who brought him back as Narayan Shankar. It worked for the film as well as the actor. Yash Chopra and Amitabh shared a very close bond. He was last spotted at Big B’s 70th birthday bash. Veer Pratap Singh of ‘Veer-Zara’: Probably Shah Rukh Khan will miss Yash Chopra the most. List of their successful films together is long. Shah Rukh Khan was unbeatable as an Air Force officer in ‘VeerZara’. In Bollywood, nobody can narrate a love story so simply as Yash Chopra used to. “Jab bhi apko kisi dost ki zurart pade, toh yaad rakhiye, sarhad paar ek shaks hai jo aapke lie apni jaan bhi de dega.”
Bollywood anymore. Considerable runtime sets up a rivalry between the two heroes before they become friends.
Karan Johar is back to school, 14 years after Kuch Kuch Hota Haimade him a Bollywood top draw. Candyfloss rules again, designer hunks and PYTs preen and pose, and if this film was made in 4D you could probably smell the bubblegum flavour all along. Alia Bhatt, Siddharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan- Bollywood's latest babe and babashave also been amply touted as the next big things during the film's run up to release. If Karan was out to create a package that wholly pushes the GenNow tempo, Student Of The Year (SOTY for the cool effect) has little USP beyond its pretty cast. Rensil D'Silva's screenplay appears to be focussed on creating individual scenes that let the young stars act cutesy cool, never mind what high-school emotion is being played out. A functional plot gets going with typical adolescent emotions. Love, heartbreak, peer pressure, classroom stress and buddy bonding are given token space- as much as is needed to keep the feel-good tempo up and running. Look at the casting of two guys and a girl and you know the script will sooner or later veer into familiar love triangle terrain. But K.Jo must have been aware a simple triangle tangle won’t work in
The heroes, Abhimanyu (Siddharth Malhotra) and Rohan (Varun Dhawan), are chalk and cheese. Abhi is your boy next door with big dreams- face of what the campus calls the 'Bata gang', typifying middle-class vibes. Varun, son of Indiaâ ™s biggest tycoon (Ram Kapoor), leads the 'Tata types' in campus. Class divide, however, hardly attracts significance in such a designer set-up. So, Abhi and Ro become friends after an early tiff. To stuff around two and half hours with fluff, you need a spot of mush of course. Varun's girlfriend Shanaya (Alia Bhatt) is drawn towards Abhi, opening up a conflict that escalates as the school gears up for the annual Student of the Year contest. Itâ ™s a ridiculous contest that Dean Yoginder Vashisht (Rishi Kapoor) touts as a three-way test of academics (students unravelling riddles Da Vinci Code-style), arts (dancing to remixed Disco Deewane beats) and athletics(boys and girls pitted together in swimming, biking and running competitions).
Strange, but you don't mind the film despite its unapologetic brainlessness. The key lies in Karan's storytelling. For all its pulp packaging, SOTY doesn't have a single dull moment. The greenhorn trio are a treat to watch too, primary reasons why you'll love the film. Karan also adds the right props to grab eyeballsRishi Kapoor's Dean Vashisht gets a gay spin and the veteran pulls it off with comical restraint. Kajol and Boman Irani get delightful cameos. They all fit fine into Planet Picture Perfect, as only K.Jo creates it.
