Ken Batwa was one of the best one’s in Madhya Pradesh earlier.

What is the intention of this project?

The main motto behind this project is to get saved from floods and difficulty in the entire region and it is focused on having a green revolution in Seemanchal.

Apart from this, the intention of this project is to provide better irrigation facilities to lakhs of acres of land in and around the areas of Bihar in places such as Araria, Kishanganj, and Purnia.

the excess water from Kochi would be put into this river through Hanuman Nagar.

This process of transferring water would help stabilize what is surplus by providing to what is the deficit. This practice would improve the irrigational facilities.

This project is capable of getting a national project status, said, experts. The state leadership to focus on this project. On a majority, the center would fund for this project and it would not be left on the state to be burdened with the expenditure.

The land that will be used up for this project is within 1400 hectares and it is not close to any wildlife sanctuary or national parks.

All in all, if you look at the benefits of this project it is balancing surplus and deficit by sending water from Kosi to Mechi, it is not causing harm to any other part of lands and finally, it is a green revolution project and at the same time, it is working on improving irrigational facilities.

9 UNKNOWN FACTS ABOUT

PATTACHITRA ART

Odisha, the land of Lord Jagannath is synonymous with the ancient art form, Pattachitra. One of the many art forms to have survived over thousand years, Pattachitra can virtually act like a historical chronicle of our country through time.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

1. A single Pattachitra painting can even take months to complete.

A single Pattachitra painting takes at least five to 15 days, while some even taking months to complete. The timing to carve one Pattachitra painting depends upon the level of intricacy and size of the paintings.

However, it takes years of practice, dedication and skill for an artisan to carve a flawless and magnificent piece.

Simple and rustic in appearance, you will be surprised to know that Pattachitra paintings require immense patience, intense hard work and skilled craftsmanship. Let’s share some interesting bits of information about the art that are as mind blowing as the masterpieces the art has given us.

2. Original Pattachitra paintings are made from 100% natural materials.

A lot goes into preserving the original appeal of this art form, and the chitrakars of Odisha seemed to have mastered that art. What gives Pattachitra an edge over other art forms is the fact that the colours used are 100% natural and are prepared by the chitrakars using ancient methods.

While white is made using conch shells, a mineral colour named hingula is used as red colour and a stone named harikala is used for yellow.

3. Pattachitra paintings are not just restricted to cloth and canvas.

The creativity of Pattachitra artists is not just limited to canvas and cloth. They celebrate the art form by painting murals on the outer walls of their houses. These paintings depict mythological scenes from the Panchatantra, the Puranas, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.

4.Pattachitra art is believed to be the illustrated story books of the olden days.

The main themes of Pattachitra paintings have always been inspired by Lord Jagannath and the Vaishnava sect.

Many Pattachitra paintings are amazing representations of stories of Lord Jagannath and Radha-Krishna, the ten incarnations of Vishnu, episodes from the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and many more. So, one can imagine that much before Amar

Chitra Katha, mothers were reading out stories to their children from Pattachitra paintings.

5. The best Pattchitra art work can be fund in the Raghurajpur village of Odisha.

Pattachitra paintings have an uncanny resemblance to the old murals and paintings done on the wall of religious centres in ancient Odisha.

While Pattachitra art is famous all over Odisha, if you want to find the best work then head straight to Raghurajpur. Deeply driven the love and passion for the art, Pattachitra artists from this village have not just kept this art form alive through ages, but have also earned the status of heritage village for the wide and WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

unique range of crafts practised there.

6. Pattachitra paintings are known for their floral borders.

Pattachitra is a disciplined form of art with set rules and restrictions. A floral border is a must in Pattachitra paintings, and so is the use of natural colours, restricting them to a single tone. This creates a distinct look and feel that is typical to Pattachitra and cannot be replicated!

art gave birth to the Puri school of painting.

Pattachitra has largely remained uninfluenced by the other schools of Indian paintings, namely the Mughal and Pahadi styles as Odisha had remained uninvaded by the Mughals for a fairly long time, giving the art form a window to evolve its own unique styles which gave birth to the Puri school of painting.

9. Originally done mainly by men, now Pattachitra art is done by women and young girls too.

7. Pattachitra art usually runs in the family; Generally, Pattachitra art is practised by the entire family of chitrakars.

While the women prepare the glue, the canvas and help out in filling the borders, the master painter, usually a male, draws the initial sketch and gives the final touches to the painting.

8. Over time, Pattachitra

interestingly, this ancient art form hasn’t suffered a slow death due to lack of enterprise. Chitrakars today send their children out for exposure and education apart from training them in this traditional art form to ensure that they can run their own business rather than depending on middlemen. Though mostly done by men, the art form is now being taken up full time by women and young girls.

Odisha, the land of Lord Jagannath is synonymous with the ancient art form, Pattachitra. One of the many art forms to have survived over thousand years, Pattachitra can virtually act like a historical chronicle of our country through time. Simple and rustic in appearance, you will be surprised to know that Pattachitra paintings require immense patience.

INDIAN DIASPORA TRADITION AND CULTURE

Car Festival Or RathaYatra Of Sri jagannatha Puri

WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

One of the most awaited festivals in the Orissa state as well as in India, Jagannath Rath Yatra is an annual event, which is celebrated in the month of June or July. It is dedicated to Lord Jagannath (Lord Krishna), his sister Goddess Subhadra and his elder brother Lord Balabhadra. It is also called Gundicha Yatra, Chariot Festival, Dasavatara and Navadina Yatra.

AUGUST 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

INDIAN DIASPORA TRADITION AND CULTURE It is the oldest Ratha Yatra celebrated in the India and all over the world. This festival is celebrated on the second day of the Shukla Paksha, Ashadh month as per the traditional Oriya calendar. It is considered most auspicious to visit the temple during this period. The festival in Odisha is celebrated for nine days, the commencement of this festival is called as the Rath Yatra and the return journey on a ninth day is called as Bahuda Jatra.

20

The celebrated Ratha Yatra Festival is said to have started in the time of Svarochisha Manu of the second manvantara and is predicted to continue until the end of the second half of Lord Brahma’s lifetime.

Even in the Valmiki Ramayana, it is mentioned that when Lord Rama was getting ready to leave this world, he told Vibhishan, Ravana’s younger brother, to worship Lord Jagannatha, the Lord of the Iksvaku dynasty in His absence.

The Skanda Purana also fixes the date of the Ratha Yatra as the second day of the bright fortnight if the month of Ashadha, a day called Pushyami Nakshatra by astrological calculations. The Padma Purana describes that in PurushottamaKshetra, or Jagannatha Puri, the supremely blissful Personality of Godhead pretends to be made of wood. In this way, although the Lord takes on what appears to be a material form, it is completely spiritual by the causeless mercy of the Lord for the conditioned souls who cannot perceive the transcendental domain of His.

ones. In the last century, the ritual was performed in 1912, 1931, 1950, 1969, 1977, 1996, and 2015.

Nabakalebara: The making of God Since the idols of Lord Jagannath, his elder brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra are made from wood, they decay over time and need to be replaced. The new idols are crafted from neem wood. However, not all neem trees are suitable for this purpose. According to the scriptures, the trees need to have certain qualities (such as specific number of branches, color, and location) for each of the idols.

Where the festival is celebrated?

Ratha Yatra is organized in puri. At the Jagannath temple in puri the car festival is celebrated. Puri is approximately an hour and a half from the capital city of bhubaneswar.

When is the festival celebrated?

As per the traditional Odia calendar, the Ratha Yatra

begins on the second day of Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon or bright fortnight) of the Hindu lunar month of Ashadha. In 2019, it commences on July 4 and ends on July 15.

Once every nine to 19 years, when the month of Ashadha is followed by another month of Ashadha (known as “double-Ashadha”), a rare and special Nabakalebar ritual takes place. Meaning “new body”, Nabakalebara is when the wooden temple idols are replaced with new

On the year when the idols are due to be replaced, a contingent of priests, servants, and carpenters sets out from the Jagannath Temple to find the appropriate neem trees (locally known as Daru Brahma) in a procession called the Banajag Yatra. The priests walk bare-footed to the temple of Goddess Mangala at Kakatpur, around 50 kilometers from Puri. There, the Goddess appears in a dream, and guides the priests as to where the trees can be found.

Once the trees are located, they’re secretly brought back to the temple in wooden carts, and the new idols are AUGUST 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

INDIAN DIASPORA TRADITION AND CULTURE carved by a special team of carpenters.

The carving takes place in a special enclosure, known as Koili Baikuntha, accessed via the temple’s north gate.

Lord Krishna is believed to have been cremated there, after being accidentally killed by hunter Jara Savara.

The creation of new idols and destruction of the old idols symbolizes reincarnation.

22

Devotional songs and prayers from the Vedas are chanted continuously outside the area where the new idols are being carved from the neem wood.

Once they’re completed, the new idols are carried inside the inner sanctum of the temple and placed facing the old idols. The supreme power (Brahma) is then transferred from the old to the new idols, in a ritual known as Brahma Paribartan (Changing the Soul).

This ritual is carried out in privacy.

The priest performing the ritual is blindfolded, and his hands and feet are wrapped in thick layers of cloth, so that he can’t see or feel the transfer.

Once the ritual is complete, the new idols are seated on their throne. The old idols are taken to Koili Baikuntha and buried there in a sacred ceremony before dawn. It’s said that if anybody sees this ceremony, apart from the priests who perform it, they will die. As a result, the state government orders a full blackout of lights in Puri on the night the ceremony is performed.

Afterwards, the temple rituals recommence as normal. Flowers and new garments are given to the deities, food is offered, and pujas (worship) are performed.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

Pulling Of The Chariot: The pulling of the chariot start after the given time frame. The wooden horses are fixed before staring of the pulling of the chariot. It starts with Lord Balavendra and then the Ratha of Devi Subhadra is pulled. At the end of the pulling of the chariot of Lord Jagannatha is performed. No Chariot pulling is done after sunset. Usually on the second day three chariots reaches Gundicha Ghar or Gundicha temple.

Buhuda Yatra Or Return Journey: At the Gundicha temple there three gods stays for nine days, including three days on the journey. On 9th day three Deities shifted from Gundicha temple to their respective Chariot and return journey starts towards Main temple.

This journey also takes two days and on 2nd day all chariots could reach the entrance of main temple.

After returning from Gundicha Mandir near main entrance all three gods will stay for one night on the chariots and during this time they will wear gold ornaments. Many devotees travel to puri to see god in these golden dress or locally know and Suna Vesa.

Tourist from all parts of the world will visit puri during this time. As only Hindus are allowed to visit inside the main temple so this is an opportunity for all other religion and some other cast devotees to have Darshan ( holy view ) of the three gods, Jagannatha , Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra.

How is the Festival Celebrated?

The festival begins with the idols of Lord Jagannath, along with his elder brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra, being taken out of their abode in the Jagannath Temple. The three of them travel to Gundicha Temple, a few kilometers away. They remain there for seven days before returning via Mausi Maa Temple, the abode of Lord Jagannath’s aunt.

The idols are transported on towering chariots, which have been made to resemble temples, giving the festival its name of Ratha Yatra. The Chariot Festival. Around one million pilgrims usually flock to this colorful event.

What Ritual are performed during the Festival: Every year, three huge new chariots are made for the idols to be transported on during the festival. It’s a very detailed process that takes place in public, at the front of the royal palace AUGUST 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

INDIAN DIASPORA TRADITION AND CULTURE near the Jagannath Temple . Construction always commences on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya. In 2019, it occurs on May 7.

About 18 days before the Ratha Yatra festival starts, the three idols are given a ceremonial bath with 108 pitchers of water. This is known as Snana Yatra and it takes place on the full moon in the Hindu lunar month of Jyeshtha (known as Jyeshtha Purnima). In 2019, it falls on June 17. It’s believed that the deities become sick after the bath. Hence, they’re kept out of public view until they appear, dressed and renewed, on the new moon in Ashadha (known as Ashadha Amavasya). In 2019, it falls on July 2.

The occasion is called Navajouban Darshan.The Ratha Yatra is a community festival. People don’t worship in their houses or fast.When the gods return from their journey, they’re decorated and adorned with ornaments of pure gold and given a nourishing drink, before being placed back inside the Jagannath Temple.

An entertaining comic scene is enacted for onlookers, as part of the grand finale. Goddess Lakshmi is angry that her husband, Lord Jagannath, has stayed away for so long WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

without inviting or informing her. She closes the doors of the temple on him, locking him out. Finally, he manages to placate her with sweets, and she relents and lets him enter.

Important Ratha Yatra Ritual Dates For 2019: Sri Gundicha: July 4; Placement of the deities in the chariots and journey to Gundicha Temple. The first chariot to move is that of Lord Balabhadra. Next is Subhadra’s, and last Lord Jagannath’s. Pulling of the chariots starts at 4 p.m. after the relevant rituals have been completed.

Hera Panchami: July 8; Goddess Lakshmi, the wife of Lord Jagannath, gets concerned because he hasn’t come back. Irritated, she goes to Gundicha Temple to find him and see what’s going on.

Devotees carry the deity in a palanquin to the temple.

Bahuda Yatra: July 12; The grand return journey to the Lion’s Gate entrance of Jagannath Temple. Rituals take place from noon to 2 p.m.

The chariots are drawn in reverse order, commencing at around 4 p.m.

Suna Besha: July 13; Decoration of the deities in gold ornaments. This ritual was introduced during the

reign of king Kapilendra Deb in 1430 and is particularly popular. It happens in the evening, from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Niladri Bijaya/Bije: July 15;

Deities are placed back inside Jagannath Temple.

This spectacular chariot festival celebrated for 8 days, is held at the famous Jaganath Temple at Puri (Orissa). Thousands of devotees flock to Puri during the occasion as they believe that a glimpse of Lord Jagnath in his chariot gives salvation.

Images of Lord Jaganath - the Lord of the Universe, his sister Subhadra and brother Balbhadra are taken out in a procession in three immense chariots. The main chariot is 14 meters high and 10 meters square with 16 wheels. The deities are brought out of the temple to the chariots by rhythmic movement called ‘Pahandi’ in a royal procession to the accompaniment of the beat of the ‘cymbals’ and drums and chanting of prayers by devotees.

The pushing and shoving to seat Lord Jagannath on his chariot continues for hours. The god it seems is testing the perseverance of

his devotees. The devotees in turn coax, cajole, they promise sweetmeats and other delicacies, when all this fails they call the Lord names and even give blows to the idol, all the while the surging crowd chants, sings and dances. It is believed that on these days Lord Jagannath will descend from his pedestal and mingle with his devotees with no barrier between them. After seating the idols, the traditional King of Puri sweeps the Chariots with a golden broom.

When two months of Ashadha fall in one year, Rath Yatra is observed as the festival of ‘Nabakalebar’ the old deities are buried within the temple premises (‘Koilibaikuntha’) and are replaced by new deities, carved out of Margosa trees for which there are set procedures. Double Ashadha occurs at intervals of 8 to 19 years. Construction of the chariots begin as early as April.

Thousands of devotees pull these chariots to Gundicha Mandir, a temple 3 km away. After a week, on ‘Ashadha Sukla Dasami’, the 10th day of the bright fortnight of Ashadha (June-July), return journey or ‘Bahuda Yatra’ of the deities commences in the same manner from Gundicha temple to the main temple like Rath Yatra.

One of the most awaited festivals in the Orissa state as well as in India, Jagannath Rath Yatra is an annual event, which is celebrated in the month of June or July. I hope this article has describe the culture and tradition of Ratha Yatra.

COVER STORY

Chandrayaan 2 India’s Second Lunar Mission to Lunar South Pole With the successful launch of the Chandrayaan 2, it is not surprising that the Indian Space Research Organisation has initiated something that hasn’t been done by any of the countries before.

26

The first lunar mission with the Chandrayaan – 1, which was a success too, the Indian space researchers are all set to explore the Lunar south pole for better pictures and evidences for possible breakthrough in the future findings and explorations.

The Chandrayaan – 2 consists of three distinct parts in it – the orbiter, the rover named as Pragyan and finally, the lander, Vikram.

The spacecraft finally took off from launching pad in Sriharikota on July 22nd, 2019 and is all set to land on the moon on September 07th, 2019. The space scientists have designated stating that while the mission life of the Orbiter is around 1 year, that of the orbiter and the lander will be one Lunar day which is equivalent to 14 Earth days.

While the first lunar mission by ISRO

WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

was conducted in 2008, the scientists are working to conduct and complete this entire mission in 3 phases – the Chandrayaan 1, Chandrayaan 2 and finally, the Chandrayaan 3.

The final mission is believed to be conducted in 2024 but hasn’t been decided upon the tentative date or month yet.

Comparing Chandrayaan 1 vs.

Chandrayaan 2 The Chandrayaan 1 was the first successful lunar mission conducted by the Indian Space Research Organisation in October 2008. The functionality of the parts of the spaceship was there till the end of August 2009. Unlike the second installment, the first mission’s components included an orbiter as well as an impactor.

AUGUST 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

COVER STORY The Chandrayaan spaceship was launched with the aid of PSLV – XL rocket from the infamous Satish Dhawan Space Centre located in Sriharikota.

The Chandrayaan 2, on the other hand, was recently launched into the space on its mission towards the lunar expedition on July 22nd, 2019 with the GSLV – Mk III rocket.

As mentioned before, it has three components – the lunar orbiter, the lander and finally, the rover. The main objective behind this specific launch is to gauge the possible availability as well as the primal location of possible water traces on moon.

With the Chandrayaan 2, the scientists are expecting to promote a soft landing of the lander, Vikram on the lunar surface and then finally deploy their rover, Pragyaan to further conduct the scientific experiments to achieve their goals and objectives.

The Chandrayaan 1 weighed 1380 kg during life off while the Chandrayaan 2 weighs almost triple of that with 3850 kg.

Landing Site of the Chandrayaan 2 When it comes to explaining the landing site of the Chandrayaan 2, the scientists are expecting to make an attempt in launching both the WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

lander as well as the rover in one of the high plain which is nestled between the two craters of Manzinus C and Simpelius N. The reason why the expedition to the Lunar south pole is so interesting is mainly because of the fact that it does have the possibility of water presence there because of the shadowed areas there.

Additionally, this region is also believed to have cold

trap craters in there along with a similar fossil record much like that of the early Solar system.

What are the final objectives of the Chandrayaan 2?

With such huge achievements and success rates, it is believed that the objectives and goals behind the Chandrayaan 2 are going to be a huge success as well.

Some of the important objectives behind this specific launch include: -->1st space mission or lunar mission to attempt a soft landing on the Lunar south region

-->1st Indian lunar expedition to make such an attempt with complete domestic components

then delayed because of some technical issues concerning the pressure on the helium tanks aboard the rocket

-->The orbiter is expected to conduct remote sensing observations from around 100 km orbit. The rover and the lander, on the other hand, will be conducting in-situ observations around.

-->The main objective of this mission is

United States House Passes Bill

Removing Country Cap on Green Cards The United States lawmakers recently passed a Green Card bill aimed at lifting the per-country limits on the employmentbased cards that would in the main benefit thousands of highskilled Indian IT professionals, for whom the wait for Green card is more than a decade.

A Green Card allows a person to live and work permanently in the United States.

can be given a maximum of seven percent of such visas.

Titled the Fairness of High-Skilled Immigrants Act, 2019 or HR 1044, the Bill was passed by the 435-member House by an overwhelming majority of 365-65 votes. As per the present system, out of the total number of familybased immigrant visas to be given by the U.S. in a particular year, the people of a country

The new Bill seeks to increase this seven percent per-country limit to 15 percent.

Similarly, it also seeks to eliminate the seven percent per-country cap on employmentbased immigrant visas. In addition, it removes an offset that reduced the number of visas for individuals from China.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

The bill also establishes transition rules for employment-based visas from FY 2020-22 by reserving a percentage of EB-2 (workers with advanced degrees or exceptional ability), EB-3 (skilled and other workers) and EB-5 (investors) visas for individuals from other than the two countries that get the largest number of such visas.

As per another provision of the Bill, not more than 85 percent of the unreserved visas, would be allotted to immigrants from any single country. Before it can be signed into law by the U.S. president, the Bill, however, has to be passed by the Senate, wherein the Republicans enjoy a majority.

An identical bill sponsored by Senators Kamala Harris and Mike Lee is likely to be taken up soon.

The Senate bill S386 currently has 34 co-sponsors.

Congressman John Curtis, speaking on the floor of the House, said the Bill will create a first-come, first-served system providing certainty to workers and families and enabling the U.S. companies to flourish and compete in a global economy as they hire the brightest people to create products, services, and jobs, irrespective of where they were born.

If President Donald Trump

“is serious about merit-based legal immigration, he should help usher this bill into law,” said Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren.

Bill Hailed by Indian American Professionals The passage of the Bill was hailed by Indian professionals from across the U.S., particularly those from the Silicon Valley in California, Seattle area in Washington state, the Greater Washington, D.C. area and the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

The Department of Homeland Security, however, has said it does not support the Bill.

“This bill would do nothing to move the current employmentsponsored system toward a more merit-based system,” said Joseph S Joh, Assistant Director and Senior Advisor in the Office of Legislative Affairs, Department of Homeland Security. Top American IT companies welcomed the passage of the bill and urged the Senate to pass it at the earliest.

“Today the U.S. House passed the legislation to ensure people from all countries are treated alike in the Green Card process. This promotes a fair high-skilled immigration system that’s good for the business and our economy,” said Microsoft president Brad Smith.

“This bill will help ensure those seeking permanent residency don’t have to wait for extraordinarily long periods, - projected at 50 years or more for people from countries like India and China - simply because of their country of origin,” said FWD. U.S. president Todd Schulte, hailing the passage of the FHSI Act. FWD.U.S. is an advocacy organization representing top Silicon Valley firms including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and DropBox. “Eliminating ‘per-country’ caps for employment-based Green Cards and raising caps for family-based green cards will make the system fairer for immigrant families and strengthen the United States’ ability to recruit and retain top global talent by establishing a fair and predictable path to permanent legal status,” he said.

Hindu American Foundation too welcomed the passage of the Bill. “It is now up to the Senate to ensure that fairness is delivered to highskilled immigrants who have been stuck in a decadeslong backlog waiting for their chance to become full-fledged contributors to the American economy.

The time to act is now,” said Jay Kansara of the Hindu American Foundation.

Boris Johnson Has Close Indian Connection Boris Johnson’s estranged wife Marina Wheeler, whom he married in 1993, is half Indian. Wheeler is the niece of the late editor and writer Khushwant Singh. Prior to announced their separation early this year after being in 25 years of marriage, Johnson had traveled several times to India with Marina.

They have four children together.

Johnson is expected to

The former Mayor of London and former Foreign Secretary, 55, has earlier referred to himself as the son-in-law of India. Marina’s mother, Dip Singh, who is still alive, was married to Khushwant Singh’s youngest brother, Daljit Singh.

In a column for The Tribune, veteran journalist and Khuswant Singh’s son Rahul Singh writes that Johnson visited the Ranthambore tiger reserve along with Marina and three of their children last year. During a family gettogether, Rahul Singh got to meet Johnson.

“Though I had met him once before in Mumbai some years earlier, this was the first time I got a chance to talk to him one-to-one, at some length.

I was surprised that he knew so much about India and its

politics. Should he become Britain’s next PM, I think those Indian insights, thanks mainly due to his 25-years of marriage to Marina, however rocky it may have been, and personal visits to this country, should augur well for better Indo-British ties.”

However, Johnson is known to have made several gaffes, including some related to India. When he was Foreign Secretary, Johnson was berated at a Sikh gurdwara for talking about whiskey exports to India - despite alcohol being forbidden in the Sikh faith.

In November 2014, as London mayor, Johnson suggested that countries that “haven’t had the benefit of British rule” are now “less fortunate” - during a discussion on Winston Churchill. Johnson explained how he felt that Churchill would have been “very proud” at the “continuing legacy of Britain” in former colonies around the world. UK’s Boris Johnson Pledges Post-Brexit Migration Controls.

“He would have been very proud at the continuing legacy of Britain in those places around the world, and particularly I think he would have been amazed at India, the world’s largest democracy, and a stark contrast with other less fortunate places that haven’t had the benefit of British rule, if I can say this on the record.... why not? It’s true, it’s true,” he said.

With a saffron turban on his head, Johnson said in the Bristol gurdwara in 2017: “Whenever we go to India, to Mumbai or to Delhi, we have to bring ‘clinkie’ in our baggage.

“We have to bring Johnnie Walker, we have to bring whiskey because as you may know there is duty of 150 percent in India on imports of Scotch whiskey, so we have to bring it in duty-free for our relatives.

But imagine what we could do if there was a free trade deal with India - which there will be.” A woman devotee reportedly angrily told Johnson: “How dare you talk about alcohol in a Sikh temple.”

Lawyers Behind Historic Section 377

Verdict Come out as a Couple On 6 September 2018, Indians rejoiced as the Supreme Court struck down Section 377 of the IPC. An interesting aspect to the case has come up recently regarding the five-judge panel who fought the case.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

In an interview to CNN’s Fareed Zakaria on 18 July, Supreme Court lawyers, Menaka Gurswamy and Arundhati Katju opened up as being a couple.

Menaka Guruswamy and Arundhati Katju had spearheaded the legal challenge to strike down Section 377 of IPC. The duo highlighted those who suffered under the law by enlisting more than two dozen gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people as co-petitioners.

They contested that people

risked arrest for publicly identifying themselves as part of the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community.

The host Zakaria asked if the case was much more personal to them as the two were not just partners in court but also a couple.

In response, both Guruswamy and Katju agreed and said “Sure. That’s right”.

“The loss in 2013 was a loss as lawyers, a loss as citizens.

It was a personal loss,” said Guruswamy, referring to the

December 2013 judgment of the SC which restored Section 377 IPC to the book by overturning the 2009 verdict of Delhi High Court striking down the colonial provision.

“It is not nice to be a ‘criminal’ who has to go back to court as a lawyer to argue other cases,” she added.

“We had a court where we practiced as lawyers ... and this court had just told us that gay people were second class citizens”, said Katju, who added that it was very difficult.

She has worked as a human rights consultant to the United Nations and has taught at the New York University School of Law. In the Navtej Johar

case which decriminalized homosexuality, Guruswamy represented IIT students and graduates who belong to the LGBTQIA community. She had also assisted the SC as amicus in the Manipur extra-judicial killings case. She has the rare honor of having her portrait unveiled at Rhodes House in Oxford University. Her name

was included in the Forbes list of 2019 trailblazers.

Arundhati holds a BA LLB (Hons.) degree from the National Law School of India University, and an LLM from Columbia Law School, where she was a Human Rights Fellow, James Kent Scholar, and Public Interest Honoree.

She has taught white-collar crime law at the National Law University, Delhi, and worked with India’s National Commission for Protection of Child Rights to draft the Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses Act, 2012.

In the 101 countries where the study was performed, 1.3 billion people are “multidimensionally poor”, meaning the definition of poverty does not solely include the economics or income but other factors such as poor quality of work, poor health, and the threat of violence.

The report identifies 10 countries, with a combined population of about 2 billion,

have illustrated a reduction in poverty.

The 10 countries are India, Cambodia, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Haiti, Ethiopia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Peru, Nigeria, and Pakistan.

“This progress was largely driven by South Asia.

In India, there were 271 million fewer people in poverty in 2016 than in 2006, while in Bangladesh the number dipped by 19 million between 2004 and 2014,” said the report.

India’s MPI value reduced from 0.283 in 2005-06 to 0.123 in 2015-2016.

The report cites Jharkhand, which reduced multidimensional poverty from 74.9 percent to 46.5 percent in the ten years since 2005-06, improving the best, followed by Rattanak Kiri in Cambodia.

Jharkhand, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh have the worst MPI value.

India was among the top three countries where poverty reduction in rural areas outpaced that in urban areas. The report cited this as an indicator of pro-poor development.

“Traditionally disadvantaged subgroups such as those living in rural India, Muslims, the Scheduled Castes and Tribes, and young children are still the poorest in India,” a UNDP official told Indian Express.

In 2005-2006, the population in India living in multidimensional poverty stood at about 640 million people (55.1 percent) and this reduced to 369 million people (27.9 percent) living in poorness in 2015-16.

According to the report, children experience poverty to an extreme degree than adults and are more probable to be deprived of all the 10 MPI indicators, lacking essentials such as clean water, sanitation, education, and basic nutrition.

Ways To Overcome Grief And Look Forward To A Fresh Start! “ Grief is found in two parts. The first one is loss and the second one is in remaking life” - Anne Roiphe 80

and feel it. Not everyone has the same reasons to feel deep grief. If for someone grief is to deal with a broken relationship for someone grief is losing money.

What comes to your mind when you think of grief? Is it those times when you have been through it? Or is it the struggle behind how you got over it.

While both are equally complicated and difficult. One’s grief can never be felt while it can just be understood.

If you look at it, it is easy to be philosophical and say that grief makes us. However, it is true that grief is an experience that will build you and at the same time affect your mind. It works both ways. How you perceive it, deal with it and choose to let it affect you is completely on you.

Having understood about grief, do you think focusing on grief would have a positive outcome in your life? How long do you want to stay here? Is it making you feel any better to be in grief? Are you the only one experiencing it?

Is this the end of the world?

The best part of life is that as long as you have your heart beating and your soul intact, it is never too late. If today you feel grief it does not mean that you have to stay there like forever. You would have to face it, learn from it and throw it away. How long would you blame the misfortune?

Start thinking about how to apply a colorful shade to the grey shade whenever you are floating in grief. You have to make way.

Grief is an emotion that is a result of a bad incident or losing someone close by death or naturally breaking the relationship.

Needless to say, one goes into a new world of blooming roses when it comes to making love in a relationship without any second thoughts. Maybe that is why love is said to be blind, no logic or no deep thinking comes into the picture when infatuation has hijacked the heart and body of two people.

Diversely, there are couples who rush into exploring physical intimacy with each other and do not seem to click through the flaws, surprisingly, whom they called their world at one time want to get separate from that world.

In this case, what would be the right approach to a relationship? Being like the tortoise in a relationship and taking it slow to build the bond or going fast

as a rabbit to make it better?

Many people in a relationship might be struggling through this thought, is it not?

Based on several studies, jumping quickly into having sex without getting to know the person fully or not being sure of the person has proved to weaken a relationship rather than strengthening it.

Despite the fact that several studies have stated, taking physical intimacy too quick in a relationship can weaken it, it still depends on the level of compatibility between the two people, how sure are they about the relationship and how much two of them want to hold on to each other even after having a tough time to get along.

For some couples, it is about building a physical connection and then moving ahead with building an emotional connection or an understanding.

Every relationship needs a binding force that holds the two together. Love is expressed in different forms, through care, by being good friends with each other and expressing their love in gestures and actions.

there are couples who get physically intimate because they are sure of commitment in the relationship. Thus, getting sexually connected with the partner is a means of showing interest in going ahead with the relationship.

Similarly, intimacy is a strong form of expressing love, it pulls a couple mentally and emotionally closer to one another and keeps the spark lighting in that relationship, a relationship without physical intimacy has chances of falling apart.

Understanding Between The Couple Gets Good

One Way Of Expressing Consent In The Commitment It has been observed that there are several couples who get intimate at the very start of a relationship. Contrarily,

When two people have started to experience physical closeness with each other, their relationship takes a completely new direction wherein the two people are willing to understand each other better and the love for each other has more respect, care, and maturity.

Intimacy is one way of making it up to each other.

All in all, physical intimacy is an integral factor in a relationship, this alone does not become the base of a relationship. There are other aspects such as compatibility, care, respect and friendship that collectively forms a relationship. The question is how quickly should one get intimate in a relationship?

Reasons Why One Should Take Physical Intimacy Slow It is always good to climb small steps and fill up the relationship with immense love and care rather than going too fast and losing track. Here are the reasons why taking physical intimacy slow can help make the relationship stronger

discovering each other slowly it turns out to be a successful and stronger relationship.

One develops immense tolerance in the relationship and good tolerance leads to an even more successful relationship.

Reason No 2 - You Will Know Each Other From The Inside Out In the beginning, everyone wants to be their best in a relationship. No one deliberately hides their true self and on the other hand, not everyone shows their true self either. That said, before going into the next level it is always good to thoroughly understand what you like and dislike about each other.

Reason No 3 You Will Clearly Understand The Level Of Compatibility Before you get all over each other taking time is sensible because you would get a clear picture of how compatible are the two of you and knowing your compatibility is truly essential before going gaga over each other.

Thus, test your compatibility by living real life together, moving in with each other and dividing responsibility

That said if the two of you are unable to adjust with each other and you do not feel that the two of you are in any way compatible. Right there you would understand that it is better to part ways than get physically involved and get even more close to each other. It would never make sense in doing so.

There is no point in being with someone when you know that the two of you do not connect.

compatibility and understood each other’s physical likes and dislikes even better.

Reason No 4: Long

This clear communication and transparency contribute to happier relationships. This is bound to happen because they would have discovered each other from the inside out with no insecurities and scope of being unsure about each other.

Lasting Happiness In The Relationship It has been studied and noticed that the couples who take time before getting sexually involved with each other are more likely to find happiness in the relationship, given the fact that they would have a better understanding between each other as they would have tested their

However, a relationship would be held better if they take it slow because only when they build compatibility, understanding, trust, and communication their physical intimacy would have a greater meaning and value.

If you want a happy and long lasting relationship, remember this “ Slow and steady, wins the race”

In conclusion, it is clearly a choice of two people of whether they want to rush into physical intimacy or not.

Here are the right Vastu tips in a washroom. Take a look at them!

The entrance of your washroom should be North or East facing and if you are religiously following Vastu then the washroom should be built separately, it should not be attached with the room.

If you follow the right Vastu tips in your bathroom you can keep away from financial issues and have a stress free mind. Having a full proofed Vastu washroom gives you this benefit.

As per Vastu, you could fall into the trap of having major health issues and mental issues if you do not follow certain rules and guidelines in your washroom.

What you should essentially look into to be Vastu compliant in making a washroom is WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

the location and make the right arrangement of how you place things. Your washroom should always be 2 feet higher than the ground level.

The best location for having your washroom at home is the North-West part of the home. If you want to choose a different direction instead of the NorthWest corner, the next best corner is the North-East corner of your home. Do not choose the South-West part of your home for the washroom. A person sitting in the toilet should face the North or South direction of the home and the entrance door of the washroom should be in the North or East direction.

should be set up in such a way that a person who sits in the commode is never facing the east or west direction.

4. While you are looking into the flooring of the washroom, The floor should always be a slope and all the water that flows down should floor through the East and North directions.

5. The North and North East direction is the right fit to store water and get your taps fit.

6. While you are considering a color for the walls, go with light colored shades for the

walls of your washroom.

7. On the East, West Or North wall of the washroom, you can look at having a small window.

8. North or East is an ideal direction you must consider to take a bath.

9. In the North Western corner of the house can be considered for washing all your clothes.

10. You could make your bathroom look beautiful by adding small plants.

Talking of placement of things, you would need to place the commode, mirrors, taps, bathtubs, and geyser in the washroom. Where you place all these things must be in the most appropriate direction.

Essential Points To Keep In Mind :

1. North-South direction of the washroom should have the commode(water closet).

2. Irrespective of the toilet being attached to the washroom or detached always consider constructing the toilet in the North or North West direction.

There is no harm in constructing the toilet in the South as well.

3. The pot of the commode AUGUST 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

INDIAN VAASTU CORNER Essential Points To Avoid : You should avoid certain things in the washroom if you want the peace in your house to be sustained. Take a look at a few of these points Strictly avoid having the water closet placed under or above a fireplace, where you place your bed or at the puja room Avoid having your toilet in these directions of your home, The Center, South West, and North East.

Septic tanks should never be placed in the South Direction of your washroom.

116

Take care of two things considering the South-West and South-East corners of your toilet. l Avoid storing water or installing taps l Avoid having an attached toilet

Best Colors To Consider As Per Vastu Usually one must avoid dark colors in the bathroom as they have the tendency to rapidly spread negativity in your home.

See to it that you choose a light shade for your flooring as well. Keep in mind some of the best light colored shades --> Light Pink

Directions Of The Accessories In The Washroom --> East Direction - Door --> East or North Direction - Ventilator or Window --> North East Direction - The drainage system --> East, North or North East Direction - Sink --> North Direction - Mirrors and taps --> North West or West - Toilet

--> Light Blue

--> North West or South East - Washing Machine

--> Off White

--> North West Direction - The Tank

--> Light Gray --> Light Green Subtle the shades the better the aura in your home.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

--> South East Corner of the Washroom - All the electrical equipment, geyser, and switchboards.

In conclusion, now you have a clear idea about

how every direction in the washroom is meant for a specific purpose.

You should keep track of the right direction in order to spread peace and positive energy in the house.

Going wrong on following Vastu directions can disrupt health and peace in your home.

To summarize it in short, whenever you are considering direction focus on the direction and placement of the entrance, mirrors, taps, toilet, all the electrical equipment, colors on the wall, etc.

Voyage Of A Spiritual Seeker 118

And His Reformed Qualities New Living!

“You ultimately reach where you are inclined to be” A spiritual seeker is no saint, his journey of seeking never comes to a final conclusion because he exists in a meaningful world. Does he get to this path overnight? or has he been traversing for years to get here, has he reached his destination?

Usually, spiritual seekers are seeking for a meaning in life more than a purpose in life. Do you understand the difference? If he was seeking for a purpose he would find his path and get done with it.

That said, he is not searching for a purpose, he just wants to find meaning in how he lives in life or rather make his existence meaningful. A Spiritual seeker is thirsty for WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

the simple but real meaning in life for he wants to draw a connection between the finite and infinite.

A spiritual seeker is unlike the others. That said, all of us just want to understand our purpose in human life and what is our task here. A spiritual seeker is someone who craves to get enlightened with what is the meaning of his entire

existence and beyond what the human eye can see.

Why would someone what to seek Spirituality? A person would want to seek meaning because he knows that no matter what, his emotions of happiness and sadness are never going to be constant, they would always fluctuate, a seeker wants to learn to take everything as it comes in the most peaceful state of mind.

A man who can strike the right balance in knowing the difference between making relationships and remains smart in understanding that no relationship would stay with him permanently, no matter how young or old he is, he is still going to experience the same emotions and too much involvement in human relations and possessions is going to always keep a person away from spiritual life.

Not every spiritual seeker believes in a form of God and not every spiritual seeker believes that God has no form. A seeker just knows that there is a divine force and there are several experiences that give birth to a life that is beyond what he can see and think of, the one who has understood that his tiny existence just has a meaning and lacks a permanent role in the world which is still to be understood is a real seeker. In short, he is just concerned with the truth and meaning, everything else is immaterial to him.

In silence and discovering the art of being observant about the little things in creation and destruction, a spiritual seeker finds his route of enjoying his consciousness.

A seeker improves himself every day when he shifts his thought process, tunes himself to balance through what is negative and positive and performs his deeds correctly. A spiritual seeker knows for a fact that nothing is as serious as it is taken in life and at the same time he is aware of the fact that every breath he gets to take is priceless, a seeker acknowledges every gift without taking pride of receiving the gits of nature.

A spiritual seeker exists like he is in the world but is not in the world. If a spiritual seeker can be truthful, keep his senses in control, knows how to detach oneself from the material wants and possessions and does not have a bit of pride in him

How does the journey begin?

The journey begins with a thought! Just one thought is enough to change the rest of one’s life. Only when a seeker starts to analyze that what he is living is just life or is there some other meaning and relevance to his existence.

How does the voyage continue?

The constant search for knowledge takes a spiritual seeker to understand that there is no relevance in the worldly duties and activities, it is important for us to merely just play our roles, beyond that we have pleasant experiences of realizing the peace in our existence forgetting the temporary joys in order to connect to the permanent joy of being connected to the universe.

Curiosity Is In A Seekers Blood

A spiritual seeker is always in search of the right knowledge and wants to know what is beyond what is, he questions himself if what he knows is the actual truth or is there truth beyond that? The urge to seek helps him get to where he wishes to be, in the pool of gaining knowledge.

Learns To Take Nothing Seriously A spiritual seeker learns to take nothing seriously because he understands every moment is supposed to make no sense after it has passed by. So the nature of a spiritual seeker is the most stable and sorted.

Maintains A Good Relationship With His WWW.WISHESH.NET | AUGUST 2019

Consciousness A spiritual seeker is always focusing on his inner self and trying to make an observation of the little things going on within him, he always ensures to do what is right and not what is convenient. This is all possible because he builds a strong bond with his inner self.

Staying Humble Becomes His Nature A true spiritual seeker is humble because he realizes and understands the worth of respecting everyone equally. He has the wisdom to understand one’s pain and does not disregard anyone’s views and beliefs.

Spirituality churns out all the hard feelings hid in his skeleton and makes him a sober and better individual.

He Knows How To Get Back Focus When a spiritual seeker deviates from his focus of being within his inner-self, he has the inclination of finding himself back even if he gets stuck to what is seen to him(only the worldly things).

In conclusion, for a seeker to follow his spiritual path is never a cake walk, constant practice, constant thinking, and constant feelings and realization will help the seeker walk his path. Being intrigued with the thought of being a realized soul is easier but walking that path is tough.

What makes it tough for a person to walk a spiritual path? Given the world, one is surrounded by and the attachment force stops a person from focusing on his real spiritual path. For those who are seekers, even if they get deviated from their path or find it difficult to live a spiritual life, ultimately their will to attain total spirituality and their every single effort will give them the new life they want to live.

Ram carries the entire film on his shoulders and his dance moves are exceptional. The revenge formula episodes should have been taken enough care of. On the whole, the second half of Ismart Shankar misses the mark.
