CURRENT AFFAIRS

US Government arrested 129 Indian Students Under Fake Scheme Enrollment- Still Under Investigation The US federal officials arrested 130 Indians for enrolling under the fake university. It is found that many of the arrested students were from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. After hearing this news, the Telugu associations in the US came to in support for the arrested students and they also tried to help. American Telugu Association tried to guide about the next step of action that is required at the time. All the fake scheme was started by a university named US Department of Homeland Security. It is said that the university is formed with a fake name as the University of Farmington in Michigan. It was in order to trap the official immigrants and illegal immigrants who want to extend their stay in the US. The news about the fake scheme is showing two sides. The federal operations have arrested the students saying there was part of the scheme and on another side, it is claimed that students are not aware of the fake scheme. Ravi Mannam, an immigration attorney in Atlanta, said: “the fake university hooked these students by promising them credits for their previous master’s programmes”. He also said that “The University of Farmington was offering - allowing students to work while enrolled - is not unusual. So the students may have thought it was an authorized university and work programme through a type of F-1 visa known as CPT (Curricular Practical Training).”

In New Delhi, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said, “We are aware of this incident. We are ascertaining more details (through) our embassy in Washington and different consulates in the US...We have also mobilized the Indian community organizations in the US to extend all possible support to the Indian students who are affected by this incident.” The lawyers dealing the case found and declared that the students who were arrested have entered the US in a legal way. The root cause will be pending till investigation is completed.

As the analysis and the observations play an important role in any aspect, a country must also count the corruption. So, it is observed that Indian reduced the corruption in countable size. Political corruption and criminal activities are the main causes of corruption in the country. Corruption is cause for serious and pathetic condition of the country. The ultimate effect of corruption is shown on society in large extent. Such analysis and comparisons are required to regulate corruption and make the nation clean. According to the analysis of 2018 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) India improved the ranking by moving to 78th position. Being in 78th position India scored 41. Our country ranked at 81st place in 2017 for the same analysis of CPI. In the list of 180 countries, China and Pakistan lagged far behind India at 87th and 117th position, respectively. As per the CPI analysis of 2018, Denmark is the least corrupted country and it is followed by Zealand. On another side Somalia, Syria and South Sudan are the most corrupted countries in the world. This global corruption index was out by anticorruption watchdog Transparency International on January 29, 2019.

About CPI Analysis: The Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) ranks 180 countries and territories by their perceived levels of public sector corruption according to experts and business people,. There is a scale of 0 to 100, where 0 is highly corrupt and 100 is corruption free.

It gives zero points to countries with rampant corruption and 100 points to countries completely free of graft. Since its inception in 1995, the Index, Transparency International’s flagship research product, has become the leading global indicator of public sector corruption. Corruption word may sound common but it is killing many individuals dreams, hopes and chances of rising. On whole, corruption is the disease that nation unable to get rid of and corruption is unstoppable until the words are implemented. Must remember this line- “Power doesn’t corrupt people, but people corrupt power”. When power is not misused then there will be no corruption.

INDIAN DIASPORA FINE ART

The Indian Art Form which Are

Disappearing Day By Day So Saved It Right Away!!!

India is a land of rich heritage in arts and crafts. Every religion and part of India has its own way of uniqueness of their arts and crafts.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

before they sleep forever from the list of Indian art form. These art form are as follows-

1. Puppetry: Puppetry is one of the major important art form of Kundhei from Odisha. There are some shadow puppetry from Kerala, Kathaputli from Rajasthan etc. But this form of Indian art is dying a slow death as there are very few people who are practicing it and also due to lack of incentive by the government. This art is now practiced by a handful of puppeteers from a village in the Kendrapara district of Odisha. In these shows, they use wooden dolls made by them which are attached to strings and then narrate tails from the Puranas along with music and a voiceover. Some crafts and fine arts these days, have become so sparse that we hardly know anything about them and we can see them by searching the internet or other source. These Indian crafts are going into oblivion and that day is not so far when they would just go extinct and no one would know that they had or were existed a few hundred years back. So today, in this article we will give a brief information about some of the crafts which need to revived

2.Manjusha painting: This is an unique art form in India which is displayed in series,and each series represent a story within it. This art form originated in Anga Pradesh (modern day Bihar). Manjusha painting art form dates back to the 7th century and had been practiced by the Sindhu

Ghati civilization. They made products only to be used in Bishahari festival, a festival dedicated to the snake god that took place in the district Bhagalpur.This painting only uses three colours viz: pink, yellow and green and have various types of borders which are drawn like Lehriya, Belpatr etc.It started fading away in the middle of the 20th century. Fortunately, the Bihar government is making an effort to revive this craft and patent it as Bhagalpur folk art.

3. Toda Embroidery: Toda Embroidery is a kind of an embroidery which are prat icing by the Todas, a pastoral tribe who live in the Nilgiris of Tamil Nadu. The entire tribe consists of 2000 people who are struggling to protect their culture and crafts. The embroidery is done basically on a white cloth which is handwoven and the embroidery is done by counting of threads. The embroidery uses wide bands in red and blackand is worked on reverse of the cloth to produce a rich embossed effect on the other side. This form of unique art form is getting extinct day by day.

4. Roghan Painting: FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

INDIAN DIASPORA FINE ART

Some crafts and fine arts these days, have become so sparse that we hardly know anything about them and we can see them by searching the internet or other source.

The roghan painting is one of the oldest Indian art form which are hundred years back.This painting has an Persian influence and they are depicted in the traditional flower motifs and designs. The Khatri family living in the Kutch area of Rajasthan have been the practitioners of the art for seven generations. This extraordinary form of art is executed on fabric with castor oil, paints and a 6-inch thin metal rod. This painting are very beautiful and too expensive. But in today’s generation the people are not patient or hard work enough to take it up to t6he present and future generation.

5.Dhokhra Handicraft: This art form craft which is predominately made in Bengal, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. But Today this craft is basically practiced by the tribes in the Bastar region WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

in Chattisgarh.. It’s wax casting technique has been in India for more than 4,000 years. One of the earliest known dhokra artifacts is the dancing girl of Mohenjo-daro.They first cast the metal into the craft, a technique known as the ‘Cire Perdue’ and then they are further subdivided into solid casting and hollow casting.Very few tribes are practicing the art and no one has been able to come up with a technology to save the 250-year-old legacy.

6. Parsi Embroidery: This art form took birth in Iran and with time it drew influences from European, Chinese, Persian and Indian culture during the bronze age. Parsi embroidery is an rich Indian diverse heritage of arts and crafts. The saris that depict Parsi embroidery are known as Parsi Gara

Saris and take about 9 months to complete one saree.But now, in today’s world you will find few of these fine art work in the market. The reason is the declining Parsi community and mass production of clothes that are readily available.

7.Naga Handicrafts: This is one of the famous art form of Nagaland which is getting exist in today’s world. The tribe is famous for creating interesting handicraft items made from wood, cane and other readily available raw material from the forest. Based out of Nagaland, this tribe makes really gorgeous crafts like baskets, bowls, decors, carved benches, shawls scarves and bags. Fortunately, the tribe still takes part in expos to promote its craft, but we know that these products won’t be available for far too long.

8. Patola Sari: This is one of the fine art craft of Gujarat.This extremely one of the complex and time-consuming dyeing art which is currently pursued by only four families in Gujarat. Some of the families are trying to keep the tradition alive, but are unsure of its eventual fate in future generation.Patola saris, also include some part ikat work, are the most expensive saris in the world. Each classic Patola sari can survive for about 300 years and retain the colour. The saris take four to six months to make, with more than 70 days for the colouring of the silk threads, and about 25 days for the weaving. The costliest sari is priced

at a whopping Rs 7 lakh. At least 12 people work for over two years to make it using materials required for 27 normal Patola saris.

9.Mithila painting: The Mithila painting is one of the living creative activities of the women of Bihar. It is a form of folk painting on paper, cloth, readymade garments, movable objects that is mainly done by the village women of Mithila. Originally it was a folk art, practiced by women of all castes and communities using natural and vegetable colours. Since it’s practised in only one village, and very few women make these paintings, we know that it’s one of the dying traditions of India. India is a land of traditions and culture and each has its own traditional craft which range from a simple drawing to massive sarees. But in today’s world and age of technology, these unknown crafts are dying a slow death and as Indians and custodians of history and culture, we along with the government should make efforts to revive and save it.

H-1B Visa Holders are ‘Underpaid, Vulnerable to Abuse’:

U.S. Think-Tank The United States think-tank has claimed that the workers under the H-1B visa programme are “vulnerable to abuse” and “frequently” placed in poor working conditions.

In the report, seeking reforms such as a substantial increase in wages, the South Asia Center of the Atlantic Council also sought safeguards for those working under the visa programme such as providing greater employment rights and fair working conditions. “H1-B holders in the United States can rest assured that changes are soon coming which will bring both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship. We want to encourage talented and highly skilled people to pursue career options in the U.S.,” Trump had tweet Friday.

safeguards to ensure H-1B workers are paid appropriate wages, provided fair working conditions, and given greater employment rights would not only improve their lives but would also better protect U.S. workers,” it said. The report said adopting adequate safeguards would also ensure the H-1B programme contributes to the United States economy by filling genuine shortages in the labor market with foreign workers who possess rare skills and can be rightly characterized as the “best and brightest”.

Authored by Ron Hira from Howard University and head of South Asia Center of the Atlantic Council, Bharat Gopalaswamy, the report says the current system not only harms Americans, but it also enables H-1B workers to be exploited.

78% of Americans Support

High-Skilled Immigrants, Shows Survey Contrary to the perception that high-skilled immigrants are displacing Americans, a new survey showed that a majority of Americans support high-skilled immigrants.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

A report by Pew based on a survey of 12 countries said, around eight in ten adult Americans - 78 percent support encouraging highly people to immigrate and work in the United States. The support was around the same as in other advanced countries, but lower than in Sweden (88 percent), the United Kingdom (85 percent), Canada (84 percent), Germany (81 percent) and Australia (79 percent). The findings of the study for the U.S. is contrary to the negative perception of the H-1B visa programme, which is a major path for high-skilled immigrants, among critics who say it has been misused to displace Americans with cheaper workers provided by outsourcing firms. The H-1B visa, which is largely sought by Indians, allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations. H-1B visa programme supporters have argued it helps American companies make up for the shortage of locally available hands. The Trump administration is tightening the rules for the entry of foreigners in the U.S. schools and colleges, which industry sources say, have made the procedure

complicated, unpredictable and expensive. Asked about this gap between the opposition and public support, Pew senior researcher Phillip Connor, who also co-authored the report, said, “Those in the U.S. who have more education are more likely to support the immigration of highly skilled people. Similarly, those in the U.S. with a higher income are more likely to support the immigration of highly skilled people.”

Every year scores of foreign professionals enter the U.S. workforce through Optional Practical Training (OPT) for students and H-1B. A large number of them stay on if sponsored, by their employers to join the queue for citizenship, going first through acquiring permanent residency (Green Card). Recently, the U.S. thinktank claimed that the workers under the H-1B visa programme are “vulnerable to abuse” and “frequently” placed in substandard working conditions.

Media and Entertainment Industry to Touch $52.6 Billion

by 2022 WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

The Indian media and entertainment industry is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.7 percent from 30.3 billion dollars in 2017 to 52.6 billion dollars in 2022, according to a joint study conducted by industry body Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry (ASSOCHAM) India and consulting major Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC).

“The five fundamental drivers of this convergent business model are uninterrupted connectivity, mobile devices becoming the primary source of content consumption, the need to move away from traditional revenue streams, value shifting from content creators to platforms, and ability to provide a personalized offering to the consumer.”

This is mostly due to rising population, increasing disposable incomes and new technologies which have fueled the growth of all forms of content consumption.

The PwC study said data consumption in India will grow from 71,67,103 million MB in 2017 to 10,96,58,793 million MB in 2022 at a CAGR of 72.6 percent. With lower than ever data tariffs and increasing smartphone penetration in the country, it is safe to assume that the VoD market will be a significant beneficiary of these developments.

Television, cinema and over-the-top (OTT) services will collectively account for 46 percent of the overall growth, said the study titled Video on Demand: Entertainment Reimagined. “We are now seeing the third wave of convergence in the entertainment and media industry,” said Frank D’Souza, Partner and Leader, Entertainment and Media Sector, PwC India.

However, the per capita media and entertainment spending will be capped at a mere 32 dollars by 2021 compared to 222 dollars in China and 2,260 dollars in the United States.

The British took an action to work on that aspect and the soldiers used their own method of greasing(clarified butter) for the cartridges.

FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

LIFE STYLE STYLE: Self Love? Possible? Not Possible?

If you are still confused and want to explore on how to do that, here are some fun tips you can look at that will help you get fun ideas on how to love yourself better. Take a look!

Meet the ‘you’ you

haven’t met

Sounds crazy? If you have met the ‘you’ already, it is the best thing you have done. If you haven’t met the ‘you’ yet, it’s time you introduce yourself to ‘you’ which means, stop at wherever you are, forget the work stress, keep aside the people you are associated with, keep aside the things you have WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

to do. For a moment, just breathe and for real meet yourself by looking into the mirror and giving yourself a smile. Just like how smiles are contagious, you will find your own smile contagious too and that will be the first accomplished tip of falling in love with yourself. Now that you nave met the you, go ahead!

Talk to yourself

When you fall in love with someone new, probably love at first sight or you have met someone new. The first thing you would do to build that rapo is talk to that person. Just like you do that in your relationships and with your friends. You have to do the same with yourself. It is not madness if you sit at one corner and talk to yourself. Really speak out all the things you did during the day, all the things you hated about the day, all the things

that made you guilty in the entire day and what you want to work on. Just talk anything under the sun to yourself. With no second thoughts hesitate in doing so. This will help you mark the beginning of a relationship with yourself. Now that you have started talking to yourself, it is time you get to know yourself.

Get to know

yourself

No that you have spoken to yourself, make the next move of knowing yourself better. Just talking to yourself is way different from knowing yourself. Go as deep as you can so that you can completely fall in love like the love that is eternal. To get to know yourself better, you have to be open about your positives, your negatives, your wildest secrets, your worst sin, your best deed. Bring out your real self in front of yourself and the best part is you would not

judge yourself at all. You can jot down all of these things in a diary if it is difficult for you to consciously tell yourself things. Stroke with your pen or scribble with your pen,it is all about you and you.

Be nice to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

It is going to be no big deal to be nice to your own self. If you feel its too much of the self love happening, let it happen.

that and get to a better level the next time.

Accept the real you

There might be tons of things that you dislike about yourself or you shy away in being your true self with the world. Stop doing that, accept yourself for the good and bad. Do not be harsh on yourself just because you are not doing something the right way. Rather, come in terms with how you can correct and do it the right

All you can do to be nice to yourself is by appreciating yourself for all the good things you have done until now, do a hi-fi to with yourself for all that you have achieved and pacify yourself if you have failed at something. It is okay to fail sometimes in order to work on

FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

LIFE STYLE way. No one in this world can accept you until you do not accept yourself. Master the art of accepting the real you!

Be happy with

your originality

Instead of getting yourself trapped into feeling low self esteem, trap yourself with feeling a high-self esteem by not comparing yourself to somebody.

Engrave this in your mind that you are different in your own good and bad ways. So you must learn to be happy with however different you are. Accept the fact that there will be millions of people better than you in so many ways, that does not mean the charm in you lessens. It never does! So start being happy with your originality from now.

Do everything

that you love

When you invest time in doing things that you love, you will get better at them and start to be so interestingly involved in the world of your own that will boost you up to love yourself better. It is worth investing all your free time on either a hobby WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

or spending that time with whatever brings out the fun factor in you. If you still do not know what exactly is your hobby. Never mind, there must be something that you love, it could be just sitting on your terrace watching the stars shine. Do it if that’s what keeps you happy.

Have your ‘say’

in what you say

Be sure of the point you put across. Be sure that you are confident about it. Do not put across a point just forthe hec of it. When you step by step learn to stay stern on your views, you will start to respect and love yourself all the more.

Admire your

beauty in and out

When you start to admire the finest of things will you learn to acknowledge and compliment them. Same goes with your

own-self. You do not have to bother if you are in shape or out of shape, there must be something about you that is admirable, admire yourself for that and keep telling yourself you are good enough. This lights up the confidence in you. Most of the times you will know what are those qualities that make you good. There would be at least one. Look for that quality and admire your inner beauty

Pamper yourself

once a way

Pampering ones self may be different for everyone. Some people would love pampering themselves eating their favorite dish, some would love to go on a holiday, some would like to get a massage done at the spa, few of you would just wanna take a nice bath. Do anything that makes you feel pampered.

It is a must to pamper yourself, it relieves you of so much stress that comes your way and when you give yourself that quality time, it is one of the ways of portraying love to your own self.

Go on a date

with yourself

This idea may seem absurd. But it isn’t, it makes so much sense for a fact that you would get to know what you expect when you start to date yourself and you are prepared to start dating someone. Dress up for yourself from the tip of your head to the tip of your toe. Go for a lunch or sight seeing or for a movie all by yourself. Here, you get to explore the me time all alone and that’s the most heavenly feeling in the world.

Chant the 3

magical words

When you say ‘I love you’ to everyone whom you love, how about saying ‘I love you’ to yourself everyday? You are just transmitting vibes of love to yourself.

Take care of you

body

If you want to really love yourself, you should know that you must take care of the

hygiene of your body, the health of your body and keep your body away from what does not agree with your body. l Give your body the essential nutrients through your diet l Do not deprive yourself from eating anything that you love, but if it is junk do not over eat it

> Exercise everyday > Sleep sufficiently > Follow basic hygiene

Cleanse your

intentions

Think good to feel good. When you think of negative things that possibly happens. Even if you are skeptical of a situation, do not think of the bad things that can happen, just leave it to time.

Suppressing yourself is the worst crime one can do to themselves. If you think you want to cry out, then just cry it out. Do not let that emotion die within because it can further lead you to a lot more complications of dealing with issues related to your mental and physical health. Remember that you love yourself and you are going to be kind and good to yourself.

Conclusion: Self love is good until you do not get unnecessary pride in you. Love yourself to the maximum but in the bargain do not be selfish for the wrong reasons. Be sure of where to draw the line. Are you ready to love yourself now?

If someone’s harmed you let them be. You keep your intentions clean, in time all learn their lessons.If you work on these little things for self development as a person you will love the way you are.

Never Ever

Suppress Yourself

Do not ever stop or suppress yourself from saying and doing what you want to. FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

RELATIONSHIP

Know These Things Before Marrying an NRI Are you getting married to an NRI or someone living overseas? In that case be sure to be clear about each and every before the nuptials.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

moving abroad for better opportunities or lifestyle, a lot more weddings with Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) has turned out to be a common sight, concurrently, leading to mounting incidents involving NRI husbands deceiving their partners in India. Therefore, there are a few things that you should certainly bear in mind before you choose to say “I do” to an NRI.

Know His Visa Status As soon as you know if he is on a permanent residence or a work permit or a citizen of xyz country, coming to the right decision is slightly easier.

If your soon-to-be life partner is on a work permit, check all the facts and details and know if you shall be able to be with him after the wedding and how long would the procedure take. Getting married to someone on a temporary visa is nothing but a risk. Do not pay attention to relatives who tell you that it is okay to get married to someone without a permanent residence visa or citizenship. They are not going to benefit you in any means if you and/or your partner get kicked out of the country. Knowing the visa status is moreover very significant because depending on your spouse’s visa, you will be able to understand how long would it take for you to join them in their place of FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

RELATIONSHIP

residence.

Know His Lifestyle

Though you might have born or studied in big cities and institutions, moving to another country is not laidback. A transformation in way of life and choices is inevitable. Try to understand his feelings, his friend-circle, what does he do for fun and what does he expect from his partner. Then try to imagine yourself in that lifestyle or something similar. Realize how easy or hard would it be for you to cope up with all the major changes before reaching a decision. Your English might be in fact good, but the knowledge of different accents is like a boundless process. Be ready to hear people speaking in English in 200 different ways and also, you will have to speak in English generally. Be willing to learn an additional language like French or Spanish etc., depending on wherever you may have to move.

Communicate Clearly WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

Get all your questions answered without being shy and coy as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your life and you need to be in charge for it. It is one of the most vital choices of your life. Video chats are better. Nobody is too busy to text or talk if they are considering marriage. If they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give you time now it either means they are not interested or they are not sure about getting married at the moment. Whoever wishes to get married, will take out the time to get to know you and communicate at will. Do not compromise on communication.

Be Patient Long distance relationships are not easy to cope as there can be gaps in communicating or you may have shorter chats, but you need to be easy-going if the person is right and you wish to take things forward. Patience is the key when you have agreed to the wedding because now you will realize that you need to start preparing stuff for paper-work and interviews.

Also, be prepared, depending on the country you shall be moving to and depending on the spouse’s visa status, your own visa may take anywhere between 2 months to 16 months to be processed before you successfully join your spouse and his family.

Don’t Be Embarrassed to Ask for Details

Explore Career Options

It is all right to hire a detective and to check the presence on social media and get an idea about the friend-circle and way of life. Do not take your decision on the basis of anyone. It is your life and will have an emotional impact on your family and you, so there is nothing wrong in being cautious and being prepared.

Know that you will not get a job instantly and it may take some time till you find a decent and stable job in a foreign land. Also, make certain you know that the spouse visa you have applied for has the provision wherein you shall be able to work when you move to the other country.

There is nothing wrong in taking expert assistance to get a detailed background check or ask for the person’s social security number.

Ultimately, the only mantra to tackle the NRI situation is to be well informed, patient and conscious.

LOVE & ROMANCE

Is your relationship falling apart?

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how to know.

WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

Unconditional love has become a concept for the novel that is hardly seen in real life anymore. As contradictory it may sound, there are actually couples around the globe who are ready to devour their partner with their complete love and dedication without expecting much in return. On the other hand, if you are witnessing signs that make you question your capabilities and stance in the relationship, it is most likely that your partner isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fully appreciative and supportive of you.

FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

LOVE & ROMANCE

Here are the signs that your relationship does have issues that need to be talked about. Consistent Criticism While criticism and bantering are actually signs of a healthy relationship, the moment the same becomes persistent and accusing, it is time to understand that it has taken a negative direction – one that is dictating the fact that your partner might not be a 100% invested in the relationship like you are. Understand each other’s point of view and try and have a healthy outlet for your problems.

You are being left out Does it not trigger you that there might be something unresolved if your partner doesn’t want you to mingle with his social circle or doesn’t even mingle with yours? If your partner is not integrating you in his life and not doing the same in yours, it is time to reevaluate a bit of everything. If talking doesn’t resolve the issue, take a step back and take care of yourself first.

Bringing back past arguments One of the most important things about a healthy relationship lies in the power of forgiving and letting go. If you are witnessing your partner “keeping score” of the mistakes or the issues that have been caused because of you, it is most likely that you need to put your foot down and think things over. Being told down by your partner of your flaws and mistakes .

WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

You have lost priority Whenever the balance of the relationships aligns towards “Me and I” from “Us and We”, it is an alarming alert that things are getting out of track. Adjustments and compromises are part of a relationship but don’t twist everything in a way that you end up losing your stance.

Forget the important milestones It is okay to sometimes not have clear idea about the dates and the important anniversaries but if that is the case every single time, chances are that the relationship is left out as a mere chore now or there is something severely bothering your partner.

Doesn’t care about your needs Now, you would normally expect your partner to more or less be acquainted with what you like and dislike, right? I don’t mean to be the bearer of the bad news but there are chances that your partner doesn’t even know the core values you share, lest, your like and dislikes.

Your opinions are of no value Opinions are always going to vary between people. Your partner and you don’t necessarily have to have the same opinions. The problem arises when your partner completely disregards your feelings and opinions and belittles them. Being respectful about each other’s.

Blame Game Blaming and getting blamed for even the smallest of the problem is the first red sign of an unhealthy relationship. Accusations without any solid fact are actually an indication that your partner is intentionally trying to point your flaws and problems. Blaming often induces shame in a relationship which belittles the feelings. FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

and make better decisions. Watson has introduced us to a concept called deep learning. Deep learning layers algorithms to create artificial neuron networks, these networks can continuously work on a task to determine the efficiency, quality and results driven out of a task. This is the mechanism of how it learns from unstructured data like photos, videos and audios. For instance, Watson can describe to an insurance company about the damage of the car if it was affected by a crash. What Watson does is, it studies the model of the car and makes a relative comparison between the damaged and not damaged model of the car. Watson is also known for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural language capabilities through deconstructing sentences. This computer deconstructs sentences

with the help of concepts, keywords, categories, sentiments and emotions, once it understands the connection in all the factors it can portray in what context something is being conveyed. Most importantly, the AI needs to understand the language and terminology of the industry that it is working on, with the help of all the traditional AI models this will need a lot of computing and data analysis that takes months together. However, Watson plays its role here and this job can be done quickly with the assistance of a technique called transfer

The Power Of Intuitions 106

WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

An inner voice that is loud in your head although in the mute mode! Intuitions are visible and yet so naked! Telepathic Bonds! Think about this??

What’s about intuitions? This word ‘intuition’ sounds really technical. What if I have to tell you all to take a pause and ponder upon circumstances that you can relate to where you just had this strong feeling with no logic that a particular situation would happen in the near future. Apparently,you are travelling to work and you get to hear that little inner voice in you, saying to you really loud ‘Hey! Today’s gonna be a hectic day’ and to your surprise this happens in reality and you are flabbergasted with how did this even happen? How did this just barge into my mind without calling for it? Does this make sense or are these just my sub conscious thoughts messing with my mind?

Can you relate with this at some point in your life? What do you think of the reality of this subjective concept? Is it just a myth or does it have its reality in place? Yes! Intuitions are all your inner feelings without rational reasoning that strikes your mind and you fall short of words of how you forsee the reality of that situation. Intuition is a superficial super power that exists in all of us to an extent and some of us feel it strongly. When a person is in a state of an intuitive mind, the person’s body and mind are at a stand still and they get vague visions and in-explainable and unknown situations that they see through their mind either in dreams or while day dreaming. FEBRUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

Intuitions walk by all of us at some phase or the other in life. For an instance, when you go shopping and you want to pick up a dress. You happen to choose two dresses where both of them are equally beautiful in terms of the design, pattern , color and the way it fits you. Deep down there will be one dress you would be inclined to than the other, this strong liking for one dress more than the other is your intuition being there with you at basic situations in your life. This mystical study about WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

intuitions is vast. Watch this movie InnSaei to get insights about intuitions and its relevance in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world of being surrounded with distraction and stress.

How to come in terms with your intuition? 1. Stay blank When your intuitive self is connecting with your real self you would ignore it and may

be think of it to be a thought like the passing cloud. This is exactly what you must refrain from doing. When you get a random thought be it the worst thing or the best thing, let it just come to you so that you can understand what is that unknown signal you are receiving

2. Do not ignore unknown signals The nature will give you

powerful hints and deep down you will know, you are blessed to feel those intuitions though it can scare you too. Get alert when you get these signals. Do not panic but just let them stay in your mind too.

3. Observe nature closely Nature gives you a scope to broaden your horizons on connecting with peace and the sounds of nature. By doing this, you will have a clarity in connecting with your instincts too. You will be more peaceful in taking your intuitions as they come.

4. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get webbed too much with the world This simply means, to connect with your intuitions or deep true self you do not have to completely disconnect with the world.

But you have to limit yourself to being addicted on social media or engrossed too much into technology. When you are too involved with anything, your capacity to be with your inner self goes down, which can hamper your understanding regarding your intuitions.

5. Take your intuitions as they come Do not pressurize your mind to understand the logic behind your intuition because they are meaningless. Yes, you can question yourself of what could be the reason. But the very nature of an intuition is to just let it be as it comes and tell yourself to stay cautious. It is a mere signal that definitely has some power but it has no reason attached to it.

How does this intuitive power develop? One has to get broad and understand that intuition is not a spiritual super power, it is a step beyond the intellect and it is not something that can be practiced, it can just be dealt with. There is a difference in something that is practiced and something that is natural.

110

Intuitions donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require to be developed; it comes at no specified time frame. It is not something that can be predicted at the spur of the moment. It comes to one naturally without any thoughts.

Intuition is of two kinds. >

When you connect with an unknown force (signals of the universe) and it absolutely has no defined reason when it indicates something to you.

When you deliberately make a guess (use your intuitive power) about an event like a job or marriage if it will work out for you the way you thought of it or not.

What could be the probability of an intuition? WWW.WISHESH.NET | FEBRUARY 2019

An intuition comes to you n-number of times, it is believable more than facts at times. Most of the time one can never go wrong with their intuition. There are chances for a person to take subconscious worries as an intuition but it is far beyond a rewind of your subconscious self, it is a new concept on its own. Although, its mechanism is illogical. The way it is looked at can be made logical if we silently observe it when it comes our way.

What is the mechanism of body and intuitions? The sense organ intuition has its link with is with the brain. Everything in the world has a process and happens in its time. Likewise, with intuitions. Biologically, it is believed that the brain has a hold on our intuitions. Instantly messages donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come from Basil Ganglia, first a message comes from the cortex in the brain, passes through basal ganglia. Post which, the process works this way. Basal Ganglia is the center that takes charge of the functions such as the art of mastering, the manner in which habits are put to use and spontaneous behavior pattern of a person.

This hub(basil ganglia) takes care of all of these actions with the assistance of a nucleus that is existing in basal ganglia also known as the caudate nucleus, this nucleus is responsible for helping basil ganglia in receiving messages from the other parts of the brain.

Conclusion : Intuitions and meditation are interconnected to each other as a person effortlessly visualizes. The only difference in them being similar is that, meditation needs you to have a quiet mind to reap you with quality benefits derived from meditating. Whereas, there is no such concept of benefiting out of an intuition as it will come to you even when you are in a disturbed state of mind. You can get to hear your intuition better only when you try and sort out your mind.

how bilateral relations were “reaching new heights”; and there was a deepening of the economic engagement, the people-to-people contact.

Story : Based on the book with the same name, The Accidental Prime Minister chronicles former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s (Anupam Kher) relationship with his media advisor Sanjaya Baru (Akshaye Khanna). While the film focuses largely on how Baru struggled with managing Dr Singh’s public image, it also touches upon United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government’s key milestones, like the nuclear deal and Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s undisputed authority within the party.

Analysis : The Accidental Prime Minister opens with a heavily pixelated TV news footage from the 2004 victory of the UPA in the general elections. This quickly gives way to the actors behaving and looking strikingly similar to all real life political players, which is one of the highlights of the film. Kher leads the pack as the submissive Prime Minister, who is sworn-in amidst wide-ranging skepticism within the ranks. His performance progressively grows on you, gradually evoking empathy for his character. Kher makes Singh’s trademark soft spoken demeanor and skittish walk, his own. You will find yourself rooting for him, whether he is mustering courage to do the right thing, or succumbing to the powers that play him (read: dynasty politics).

Final Word: The Accidental Prime Minister has all of that in measured tones.The movie tries much harder to entertain than inform, and we don’t think it’s by accident.

BOLLYWOOD Story : Aditya Dhar’s Uri: The Surgical Strike is a movie about remembering and picking on scabs in an election year. Indian Army Major Vihaan Singh Shergill’s mother is losing her memory. Her son has sworn never to forget the wounds inflicted by terrorism. In a scene that bluntly brings these themes together, the unnamed India prime minister, who looks like someone we know, says, “A good son takes cares of his mother, but a good son must also take care of the nation, which is like our mother.” soldiers died.

Analysis : Uri is the more effective – and insidious – of the films. Impressively gritty action sequences bookend 138 moments of sycophancy towards the government. Aditya Dhar’s directorial debut opens with another surgical strike from 2015, the one that involved an Army contingent crossing into Myanmar and killing Manipuri terrorists. Vihaan (Vicky Kaushal) is a part of this operation, during which he displays his tactical skills and fearlessness. Another shot at glory awaits Vihaan, but the emotions have first to be cranked up. It gets personal for Vihaan after he loses a family member in a terrorist strike – the point is reiterated through dialogue in case it is missed – and the Army’s mission neatly dovetails into his own vendetta. Final Word: In Uri, the balance tips in favour not towards the men in olive, who are sent like canaries into the coalmine, but the Prime Minister’s Office. Paresh Rawal, playing a character clearly modelled on National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, is portrayed as the genius behind the strikes, conjuring up with all the cool ideas and bold decisions.

The first half of F2 is packed with fun and fun throughout. Venkatesh steals the show despite of several actors playing comic roles. The vintage Venky is back and his expressions have been top class. Varun Tej surprises with his Telangana accent. Tamannaah and Mehreen have been glamorous and they delivered their best in F2. The interval episodes take the film to the next level and the first half of F2 is a comic treat. The second half of F2 has been decent though it has enough flaws. Too many actors leave the audience in confusion. The songs have been decent and some of the episodes should have been better. The second half looks predictable and Nassar's episode is the major highlight. The climax has been decent, simple and predictable. On the whole, the second half of F2 continued to entertain despite of some flaws.
