Christmas Tradition In Goa Goa and most parts of India are known for the celebration of festivals, especially due to the existence of so many different religions, each with their own culture and tradition.

after which people go to church for a midnight service, dressed in their best, to welcome the birth of Christ.
By the beginning of December, everyone’s already making plans for Christmas. Everyone’s busy shopping, hanging buntings and decorations all over the house and the decorating of the tree, like everywhere else in the world, is an event that brings the whole family together. And Christmas Eve always ends with a nice traditional dinner with family
Goan Christmas Sweets Now, the women of the house usually start getting the Christmas sweets ready in time to send some in decorative boxes or baskets to neighbours, family and friends. There are various sweets that are exclusive to Goa, the most popular being ‘neureos’,
made of stuffed dry fruits and coconut. Some other sweets are dodol, bebinca and coconut nest. In the past, the joy was in preparing the sweets yourself but now that trend is slowly dying out with the modernization of everything and the lack of time, so people just buy the sweets to distribute instead.
The Crib A very important part of Christmas decor in Goa is the Crib. Almost every Catholic

household will have one. According to Christianity, Jesus was born in a manger, so a crib is made every year in Catholic households to depict the scene of the night of Christ’s birth. This nativity scene is created on a miniature scale usually to be placed inside homes and sometimes on a larger scale to be placed outdoors. People even grow millet grass on the floor of the crib, both big and small, to make it seem like grass. The various figurines for the crib are made of clay, paper and various other materials based on how creative one can get.
Christmas Ballrooms Dancing and parties form an inevitable part of Christmas in Goa. There are countless Xmas ballrooms happening throughout the state. Some noteworthy

Christmas Day Christmas Day is relatively more quiet as people decide to spend the day in with family and friends. Towards the evening, people set out to wish neighbours and friends also celebrating the festival, or not. A commendable trend surrounding Christmas in Goa is that it is not only celebrated by Christians. The festival time in Goa is so different from the rest that people from all walks of life come to
celebrate this festival here in Goa, regardless of religious beliefs.
Christmas Season and its Unending Parties The biggest factor contributing to the popularity and the fervour that surrounds this holiday is, of course, the parties and nightlife of Goa. Curfews aren’t as strictly enforced, parties happening everywhere possible, maddening crowds and hordes of tourists from all over the world are all over Goa. Some popular party hotspots are in North Goa. Anjuna, Vagator, Calangute and Baga are the places to hit if you are looking to party till the wee hours of the morning.

This tradition is mostly carried out by children. The official end to the season is on January 6th, the Feast of the Magi. There is a symbolic procession of the Three Kings at Cansaulim near Mormugao, the most famous place in Goa to be a part of this procession. Three children between the ages of 8 to 10 years are chosen to represent the Three Kings, one each from the two surrounding
villages, Quelim and Arossim and one from Cansaulim. The days leading up to this Feast are full of excitement as being chosen to be one of the Kings is an honor only allowed to boys from these three villages. Each ‘King’ has to go up the Remedios Hill, atop which is the Three Kings’ Chapel, to present their ‘Gift’ to the newborn Christ. Accompanied by a carnival and very colorful celebrations, this feast is one of the most popular here. All in all, there is no place else in the world where the Christmas season is as flamboyant and lively as what it is in Goa.
End of Festivities Once Christmas is over there is still a lot that needs to be done in preparation for the New Year, and being just a week away there is no time to rest till the next year has rolled in.

All the nine planets, space and the entire solar system is always in observations of scientists. The crucial roles of planets and their beautiful features are coming into the light with researches. This time, we got to hear something about Saturn and the iconic rings. The most admiring planet, Saturn: The sixth planet of Solar system, is known as Roman God of Agriculture.. A Saturnian day is about 10 Earth hours. Saturn is the second

huge planet and it is placed far away from earth. Due the far distance, we feel Saturn moves slowly. It is the most admired planet which has the prominent feature of ring system. Saturn Rings Formation: Galileo Galilei was the first one to spot the rings of Saturn. But he couldn’t determine what the rings were. Saturn’s iconic rings were formed due to its gravity when objects like comets, asteroids and moons broke up around it. The bits and pieces of these objects clashed with each other and broken into even smaller particles. Slowly these pieces spread around Saturn and formed into rings.
NASA Research about Saturn Rings: Scientists believes that Saturn rings will disappear in less than 100 million years. These rings are mostly made by ice and they are pulled apart by the planets. Ice is falling off the rings faster than imaginations and predictions. The rings are being pulled into Saturn by gravity as a dusty rain of ice particles under the influence of Saturn’s magnetic field. O’Donoghue’s team observed glowing bands in Southern and Northern hemisphere of Saturn. The bands are magnetic field lines that intersect the ring plane enter the planet. They analyzed the light to
determine the amount of rain from the ring and its effects on Saturn’s ionosphere. They found that the amount of rain matches remarkably well with the astonishingly high values derived more than three decades earlier. “We are lucky to be around to see Saturn’s ring system, which appears to be in the middle of its lifetime. However, if rings are temporary, perhaps we just missed out on seeing giant ring systems of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune, which have only thin ringlets today,” O’Donoghue added.

PAWAN KA L YA N WRITES TO PM OVER
U.S. IMMIGRATION POLICY Jana Sena Party Chief Pawan Kalyan, who was on a shortlived tour in the United States has written a letter to the Prime Minister’s office seeking intervention in the ‘safety and security’ of Indians in the U.S.
The move by actor-turned-politician came at a time when there is uncertainty over immigration laws in the U.S. Pawan while seeking PM’s attention to the issue written: “I wish to draw to your kind attention to the difficult dilemma facing the WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
Indian Diaspora in the USA as a consequence of stringent and severe policy changes being made to the U.S. immigration and naturalization procedures.” Pawan said that the lives of a large number of Indians, who are contributing to the healthy
economy of America are being changed without their ‘knowledge and consent.’ He further stated that the Indian diaspora is in a strange dilemma to ward off dangers to the families of Indian people who have been living in the USA for long due to politics and policies of the current U.S. administration. “Through a series of executive actions, undue pressure is being brought upon Indian individuals and families to give up their hardearned place in the U.S. Turning their lives into a mess are the policies created to plunge the lives of Indians into whatever that may suit the U.S. government. Employees under the H-1B visas, their dependents, applicants of Green Card status, business owners or employers, students, spouses, and children, who are working and living in the U.S. in various capacities are all marked by the U.S. government,” Pawan writes in the letter.
He requested the PM to take a thoughtful note of the issue and look at taking ‘action appropriate to the enormity of the problem faced by millions of Indians in the U.S.’. The Jana Sena Chief’s letter to the PM comes at a time when the U.S. government, under Donald Trump, is looking at making changes to the visa systems in the country, which may make it difficult for Indians currently residing in the U.S. As per USCIS, over 75 percent of the more than 400,000 H-1B visa holders are Indian. The H-1B visa is the most common route for Indians to work in the Information Technology (IT) industry in the U.S. Times of India reported in November that once the next filing season for H-1B applications begin in April, a new rule will be put in place requiring companies hiring foreigners through this visa will have to pre-register electronically for the annual H-1B lottery, and then file ‘fullfledged applications’ (referred to as petitions) for the winners. This, TOI reports, may give scope to the U.S.’ immigration arm U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to deice who can work in the U.S.

Hindu American Foundation Launches
“I am Hindu American� Campaign The raising hate crimes against Hindu Indian-Americans has prompted the United States-based Hindu American Foundation (HAF) to launch a nationwide campaign to raise awareness on the Hinduism and bring down the cases of bullying following the religion. WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
Titled “I am Hindu American”, the campaign includes a social media campaign, a 30-second public service announcement and a companion website to provide resources about Hinduism and Hindu IndianAmericans. During the campaign, the organizers would boost awareness and clear up common stereotypes and misunderstandings about Hinduism through social media networks across the nation.
Hate crimes in the U.S. increased by about 17 percent in 2017 as compared to 2016, according to the FBI. He said that Hinduism has contributed a lot towards the daily activities of humans. “There are many Hindu contributions to our daily lives: from yoga and meditation to the decimal system as well as an understanding of the law of cause and effect known as karma,” the statement said.
“The goal of ‘I Am Hindu American’ campaign is to drive online conversation by putting a face on the Hindu American community. Despite the fact that Hindus are one of the most successful minority communities, knowledge about Hindus and Hinduism is very low among the U.S. general public. Our own data shows that one in three Hindu-American students report being bullied for their religious beliefs,” Suhag Shukla, the executive director and co-founder of HAF, said in a statement. He said that most of the bullying cases were based on misperceptions about Hindus and the narrative needs to be changed.

#MeToo Era:
Avoiding Women at All Cost Is a New Strategy of Wall Street The era of MeeToo movement across the globe has made men wide awake of how things stand when they show slight beyond the pale conduct towards women. In a method to avoid regrettable repute to the company, umpteen companies are in the notion that hiring a woman these days is “an unknown risk.�

many are spooked by #MeToo and struggling to cope. “It’s creating a sense of walking on eggshells,” said David Bahnsen, a former managing director at Morgan Stanley who’s now an independent adviser overseeing more than $1.5 billion. This is hardly a singleindustry phenomenon, as men across the country check their behavior at work, to protect themselves in the face of what they consider unreasonable political correctness - or to simply do the right thing. The consequence is forceful on Wall Street, where women are scarce in the upper ranks. The
industry has also long nurtured a culture that keeps harassment complaints out of the courts and public eye and has up to now avoided a mega-scandal like the one that has engulfed Harvey Weinstein.
‘Real Loss’ Now, more than a year into the #MeToo movement - with its devastating revelations of harassment and abuse in Hollywood, Silicon Valley and beyond - Wall Street risks becoming more of a boy’s club, rather than less of one. “Women are grasping for ideas on how to deal with it because it is affecting our careers,” said Karen Elinski,
president of the Financial Women’s Association and a senior vice president at Wells Fargo & Co. “It’s a real loss.” There is a danger, too, for companies that fail to squash the isolating backlash and don’t take steps to have top managers be open about the issue and make it safe for everyone to discuss it, said Stephen Zweig, an employment attorney with FordHarrison. “If men avoid working or traveling with women alone, or stop mentoring women for fear of being accused of sexual harassment,” he said, “those men are going to back out of a sexual harassment complaint and right into a sex discrimination complaint.”

While the new personal codes for dealing with #MeToo have only just begun to ripple, the shift is already palpable, according to the people interviewed, who declined to be named. They work for hedge funds, law firms, banks, private equity firms, and investment management firms. For obvious reasons, few will talk openly about the issue. Privately, though, WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
many of the men interviewed acknowledged they are channeling Pence, saying how uneasy they are about being alone with female colleagues, particularly youthful or attractive ones, fearful of the rumor mill or of, as one put it, the potential liability. A manager in infrastructure investing said he won’t meet with female employees in rooms without windows anymore; he also keeps
his distance in elevators. A late-40-something in private equity said he has a new rule, established on the advice of his wife, an attorney: no business dinner with a woman 35 or younger. The changes can be subtle but insidious, with a woman, say, excluded from casual after-work drinks, leaving male colleagues to bond, or having what should be a private meeting with a boss with the door left wide open.
Finally, he landed on the solution: “Just try not to be an asshole.” That’s pretty much the bottom line, said Ron Biscardi, chief executive officer of Context Capital Partners. “It’s really not that hard.” In January, as #MeToo was gathering momentum, Biscardi did away with the late-night, open-bar gathering he’d hosted for years in his penthouse suite during Context Capital’s annual conference at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. “Given the fact that women are in the minority at our events, we want to make sure that the environment is always welcoming and comfortable. We felt that eliminating the after-party was necessary to remain consistent with that goal.” In this charged environment, the question is how the response to me #MeToo might actually end up hurting women’s progress. Given the male dominance in Wall Street’s top jobs, one of the most pressing consequences for women is the loss of male mentors who can help them climb the ladder.
On Wall Street as elsewhere, reactions to #MeToo can smack of paranoia. “Some men have voiced concerns to me that a false accusation is what they fear,” said Zweig, the lawyer. “These men fear what they cannot control.” There are as many or more men who are responding in quite different ways. One, an investment adviser who manages about 100 employees, said he briefly reconsidered having one-on-one meetings with junior women. He thought about leaving his office door open or inviting a third person into the room.
“There aren’t enough women in senior positions to bring along the next generation all by themselves,” said Lisa Kaufman, chief executive officer of LaSalle Securities. “Advancement typically requires that someone at a senior level knows your work, gives you opportunities and is willing to champion you within the firm. It’s hard for a relationship like that to develop if the senior person is unwilling to spend oneon-one time with a more junior person.” Men have to step up, she said, and “not let fear be a barrier.”

Indian Cities to Dominate
Others in Economic Growth
by 2035
WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
India is geared up to dominate in the category of economic growth over the next two decades when it comes to top 10 cities, according to Oxford Economics. Surat, a diamond processing and trading center in the northwestern state of Gujarat, will see the fastest expansion through 2035, averaging more than 9 percent, Richard Holt, Oxford’s head of global cities research, wrote in a report. All of the 10 fastest over that period will be in India. Although economic output in many of those Indian cities will remain rather small in comparison to the world’s biggest metropolises, aggregated gross domestic product of all Asian cities
will exceed that of all North American and European urban centers combined in 2027. By 2035, it will be 17 percent higher, with the largest contribution coming from Chinese cities. Little will change at the top of the list of the world’s biggest cities between now and 2035.
Tokyo, New York, London, and Los Angeles will defend their spots as Shanghai and Beijing - each boasting more than 20 million people - surpass Paris and Chicago. Shenzhen and Guangzhou in Southern China will similarly make the top 10, crowding out Hong Kong.

Wondering how to stop
Doubting yourself? Confidence and how we handle situations says a lot about us. The kind of lifestyle we lead depicts our overall productivity and our confidence plays a key role in that. “Your self-doubt doesn’t define who you are even what you are capable of.” This is one of those quotations that is not over the top and actually true. Still wondering how to overcome self doubt? I got you.
JANUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET
LIFE STYLE 1 Don’t overthink
things
Overthinking is the root cause behind the extended realms of self doubt. While you won’t even realize that you have been overthinking, it casually creeps into your brain, making you assess everything in detail. When you feel like there is a bubbling build up of the self doubts inside you, start by putting a halt to these thoughts.
2 Talk to someone
80
Confiding into someone actually helps you feel light and when you know that there is someone to listen to your rants and rambles, the feeling of overwhelming loneliness shatters and is one of the best ways on how to stop doubting yourself.
3 Stop the comparison If you are someone who struggles with self doubt, the very first that you need to do is stop comparing yourself with everyone around – be it friends or even family or random strangers walking past you.
4 Reflect on the past Your past is like a blackboard for you to look into. If you have been consistently trying to put everything behind and put a WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
dump over it, it is most likely that you will end up not moving on from the same which is equally destructive and can prevent you from overcoming your self-doubt.
5 Be optimistic If you are looking for ways to help you boost along the way, just spend some time with someone with a positive outlook, or even just listen to some influencing podcast and let that feeling of positivity and optimism flow into your mind and overall body.
6 Learn from the
mistakes
Instead of just giving up from the setbacks, the best way
you can easily overcome them is by fighting back and learning from them. If you are faced with a failure, it is most likely because you did something wrong in the process.
7 Forgive Yourself This consistent grudge often takes a shape of that from where it becomes quite hard to come back. Start with being forgiving to yourself and stop beating yourself up about a situation that is either done with or has no impact in your coming life anymore.
8 Hone your skills Every single one of us is blessed with some form of
skills only they can do best. While you are subduing yourself in the self of self doubt, it is time you identify your skills that you are good in and polish them for the best kind of results.
9 Celebrate the victories People who often struggle with lack of self confidence in what they do end up feeling so mainly because of the consistent downgrades that they have had to face all throughout their lives. This is why it is important to celebrate even the smallest of the victories and not let the fear of failure succumb your actions.
10 Be in the right company of
people
People with self doubt seek appreciation and encouragement and if you are surrounded by people who are consistently doing the complete opposite of that, it is time you take necessary actions and make some changes to the kind of people you keep around yourself.

Tips to make
your
husband happy!
Do you want to be a wonderful wife of your proud husband? Is his happiness yours? Do you feel the butterflies tickling when you see him smile? Sometimes you really intend to but you don’t know what to do to make him happy. Glance through these simple ways that you can adopt to make him happy! WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
1. Hear him out A man likes to be heard sometimes rather than taking an advice when he is all low. Especially in times when he has had a bad day and he is in no mood, do not nag him for his mistakes. In fact, stay calm and listen to his tantrums for just that moment because no one other than you can give him the right attention. You have to understand that he may really need you to just be there in person so that he can vent out to you. If you start to interrupt him in those times, he may lose the connect in expressing his pain to you and this is a very important aspect in a marriage, to be able to talk to each other of problems and disappointments.
2. Give him adequate attention
When you are bound to a marriage, to keep that happiness sustained and hold on to the spark in your marriage you need to know that he really needs your attention in some situations. Keep in mind, while you are thinking of giving him attention in the bargain you do not over do it because you both need your own space. Ask him about how was his day and see to it that you are aware if something is bothering. Check on how can you help him and be there to pacify him like a friend when he has had a downfall, appreciate him for the little things he does for you, give him a pat on is back when he deserves it. Pay heed to these minute things and you see how happy your husband will be with you.
3. Respect him and the people associated with him Respecting your husband does not stop at calling out his name with respect, it is a lot more than that. You must be genuinely co-operative in understanding his point of view even if you disagree with him, respect what hurts him and what he dislikes and be conscious on not doing them, respect his areas of interest despite it not being your area of interest. He will be overwhelmed when you treat his family as yours and value his friends as much as he does. You may not necessarily be able to connect well with all the people he is associated with. Yet, you can to the least build a decent rapport with the JANUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET
RELATIONSHIP
people he is associated with.
84
There is no force that you have to do exactly what your husband is doing. However, it is very essential that you at least do not disrespect anything that makes him happy or anyone who is an integral part of his life.
4. Switch your roles in the marriage People get married to have a companion for life and it is merely said not to have expectations out of your partner, still deep down there are expectations you have from each other. To make your husband happy you have to play a different role in every situation. A husband will undoubtedly be happy with you when
WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
you play the role of a caring mother to him when he is unwell by checking on his health and the little things that he needs when he is home or while he is going to work, he is happy when you pamper him giving him a warm hug and cuddle him everyday like he is your child. Your husband feels so assured when you hear even the worst mistake that he commits and instead of over-reacting to it, you let it go because he was truthful enough to come and confess to you. Care for him because he needs that care from you it makes him feel like home, pamper him as much as you can so that he does not miss on the charm in your relationship and most importantly, be his friend for real because if you are not flexible to accept his mistakes and let them go you would be troubling yourself and he may really miss that friend in life.
5. Surprise him whenever you can We all love surprises, don’t we? and when your husband sees how much of an effort you make to surprise him, he is most happy with your intentions than the action you took to surprise him. Surprising him is just going to add to the charm of your marriage. Some of the ways you could do so is by making his favorite dish that he has been longing to eat in a long time, leaving sticky notes at his study table with some sweet messages of expressing your love for him, dressing up in the way he likes to see you sometimes and giving him a surprise, do up your house with flowers and candles and give him a hearty welcome, tell him that you would be home
late from work and get back home early buying him something that he likes. Save up money and take him for a lavish date. Remember to keep that love sparkling and good between the two of you by surprising him, nothing in the world can stop him from being on cloud 9 to have you in his life.
6. Know how to balance the space you give him Being in love with your husband and being clingy is different, at the same time it is very important that you give him his space, he will love you for it and be so happy about it. A man needs his space when he is around his friends and sometimes he wants to be by himself. At times you won’t be happy about his behaviour, but that’s the time you have to be as co-operative as possible.
7. Keep the intimacy alive Intimacy is a key factor in a marriage, a marriage is not completely reliant on your intimacy but if it is missing, your husband can feel dissatisfied and unhappy. The best way to deal with this and keep him happy on this aspect is by trying to know what are his likes and dislikes and be your natural self when you both are intimate with each other. Shower all your emotions for him and make him feel that he is really a special man in your life. It so happens that at times over the time you both may ignore this aspect in your marriage. See to it that you initiate being intimate once a way based on how the two of you like it. Do not let the intimacy between the two of you grow old with the no of years of your marriage.
As you give him his space, he will find it so easy to walk up to you and tell you what was eating him up. At the same time, ensure that you do not give so much space to him that he feels left out. Strike the right balance while you give him his space.

But, when you are promising to share your life with someone it is important to be genuine with each others reality and talk about each others past and thoughts for the future.Not talking about the past can hamper your relationship.
9. You don’t have to please each other Generally, when you are married to someone initially to make each other happy you would please each other. When you marry your best friend, there is no room for pleasing to come in your relationship because friends are real with each other and you do not please each other, you like each other even if one has not gone out of their way to make that effort.
10. You can have the best and worst conversations You know marrying your best friend is a good idea when you want to have the best and the worst of conversations. You can be sarcastic with each other, you can still be as naughty as you used to be in your conversations before marriage and neither of you will feel bad. You both can talk about your silly fantasies to sensible dreams and none of you would point out at each others stupidity because you both will love being stupid together.
If you marry your best friend half your job is done, you don’t have to discuss anything about your past or be worried if you would be accepted for your past. He would have already known everything by now and the best part is, he will accept you with open arms no matter how worse it was and likewise you will be able to accept his.

Get to Know Buddha Buddhism And The Buddhist Era Buddhism started of because of Siddhartha Gautam who was later known as Gautam Buddha. Gautam Buddha was an enlightened soul who spread peace and his powerful teachings in the entire world.
WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
His quotes are famous and followed by many of us even today. Let us get to know something about Buddhism. He was born in 563 BCE, some historian think he was born about 150 years ago. The period he was born in was during the vedic time. He used to meditate under a tree named bodh gaya. Buddha’s life revolved around few places and they are , Lumbini, Sarnath, Kushinagar and Bodh Gaya. He was born in Lumbini, meditated under the Body gaya tree where he got his enlightenment, he preached at Sarnath and died in Kushinagar. These places are still considered as pilgrimage centers for the modern Buddhists. His mother died when he was very young and his aunt took care of him, his father was a king. Siddhartha led a normal life who got married in his 20’s and he had a family of his own. When he turned 29 he started to pose questions to himself and was in the quest of seeking for the truth and trying to understand why are there miseries in life and how can he see an live life by the way it is. He realized to go in the quest of the truth for he suffered with certain problems in life and he wanted to know how can one obtain moksha. He left behind everything, his family, his
possessions and to an extent he deprived himself of food and water and he punished himself and survived that way for few years. At the age of 35, he went to a place named Gaya and meditated under a sacred fig tree called Bodhi. For seven days he continued to meditate, he awakened on the seventh day and he was known as Buddha from that day because he got to see a different perspective of life. For the next 49 days he had not contacted anyone. He made his way to Sarnath and he met his followers who used to follow him once upon a time and they found him to be a very changed person unlike what he used to be, he explained to them about what he saw and discovered in his
journey of meditation.
Basics of BuddhismBuddhism is simply believing and following Buddha’s teachings, it is considered the fourth-largest religion in the world. The one’s who follow Buddhism are known as the Buddhists. This religion is considered as a Hindu religion and it is a mixture of spiritual beliefs, traditions and practices that are related to Buddha and his philosophies.

Buddhism focuses on imparting knowledge on how to deal with overcoming suffering, getting detached from the attachment and JANUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET
INDIAN HISTORY how to accept the cycle of birth and death through Nirvana. Buddhism stresses upon meditation and attaining moral principles to lead a peaceful life. Buddhism is further bifurcated in four types, Thervada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism, Vajrayana Buddhism. Each of these have a symbol and an implication.
Thervada Buddhism It is known as ‘The School of the Elders’ This was the oldest school of Buddhism and it is practiced in countries like Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, 100 Cumbodia and Laos. Theravada is inspired from Tipitaka, it means three baskets. In this Type of Buddhism, Buddha introduced the Dhamma Vinaya. Dhamma is Dharma and Buddha introduced the monks, nuns and Sangha and wanted them to pass on his teachings to people. Pali is the language of Thervada Buddhism.
How did Tipitaka starts? After Buddha passed away, his teachings continued and the Sangha’s had divided his teachings to the Vinaya Pitaka(the “basket of disciples”) It has the texts WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019
having rules and customs of the Sangha, Sutta Pitaka(the “basket of discourses”) It is about Buddha and his discipiles, Abhidhamma Pitaka(the”basket of special doctrine”)A clear analysis of Dharma. This is how Tipitaka came into picture.
Mahayana Buddhism Mahayana Buddhism is followed in country’s like China, Tibet, Japan and Korea. It begun typically in the 1st century AD and is throws light upon how to practice spirituality and how to deal with Bodisattva. It means reaching the stage of nirvana but not being able to get there because of their compassion. The core beliefs and practices of Mahayana Buddhism is similar to that of the Thervada Buddhism but just the location and language in which it is preached is different. The
scriptures of Mahayana is in Sanskrit.
Vajrayana Buddhism Vajrayana Buddhism stresses on getting to enlightenment with the help of spiritual, philosophical and ritual practices . It is known to be the Way of the Diamond. This form of Buddhism originated from Mahayana Buddhism, it is more or less a Tibetan Buddhism. Vajra is diamond and a thunderbolt that was used by the God of thunder and rain as a weapon and Yana is the way to enlightment. It implies, a typical path to get enlightened. Through Vajrayana one can attain enlightment faster by having lesser experiences
of life before getting to the highest form of enlightement, it should be practiced by every individual not just monks. This form of Buddhism focuses on karma and it indicates that each and every action has a connection.
4 Core Beliefs of Buddhism There is a three dimension path of buddhism, the four noble truths, the noble eighth fold path and about attachment and suffering. The four noble thoughts are Dukkha, Samudaya, Nirodaha and Magga. It means the truth of suffering, it’s origin, it’s
cessation and the path after the cessation of suffering. The eight fold path as per Buddhism is about the practices that one should follow, the right to view, the right to resolve, the right to speak the right way, having the right conduct, living the right way, making the right effort, having the right mindfulness and attaining the meditative mindset. All in all, buddhism primarily stresses on how to get rid of suffering and desires. This religion has a practical approach to life.

Aquaman
Story :
AQUAMAN tells the origin story of DC’s swimming super-dude (Jason Momoa). Born to a human father (Temuera Morrison) and Atlantean-queen mother (Nicole Kidman), Arthur Curry would rather live among the surface dwellers than claim his rightful throne. When his half-brother, King Orm (Patrick Wilson), decides to unite the undersea kingdoms against the surface dwellers, Arthur is forced to fight against those who live underwater. Then beautiful Atlantean Princess Mera (Amber Heard) takes him on a quest to find the mystical weapon that will let him take the throne -- and prevent war. 146
Analysis : Like Wonder Woman, this adventure marks a move in the right direction for the Justice League/DC Extended Universe. Aquaman isn’t great, but it’s definitely more fun and engaging than the non-Wonder Woman entries so far. James Wan’s direction is quicker and lighter on its feet than infamously dour movies like Batman v Superman. And this is the first of these attempted epics that actually feels like an epic. It centers on a quest that hops continents and new (undersea) worlds; it introduces a mythology; it culminates in a satisfying battle. It even has bona fide sea monsters. Much of the credit for Aquaman’s success goes to the casting. Kidman brings unusual emotional depth to her brief appearance; she has chemistry with Morrison in a rare superhero-parent backstory that works. Heard is appealing as Mera, especially in a sequence in which she discovers some of the little pleasures of the surface world. WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019

zero Story : Zero is the story of Bauua Singh (Shah Rukh Khan), a vertically challenged unmarried man who is 38-year-old. He leads life king-sized and loves Superstar Babita Kumari (Katrina Kaif) and he applies to get married to her on Shaadi.com. Bauua Singh also meets Aafia (Anushka Sharma) through Shaadi.com and starts falling for her. Soon there develops a bond between them and the rest of the film is all about what happens next. Watch Zero to know about the film.
Analysis :
3/5
Zero has a dose of emotional drama that is the major highlight of the film. Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma outshines in their assignments and impresses the audience big time. The first half of Zero has all the ingredients and will impress all the sections of audience. The songs are well placed and are shot on a lavish scale. Shah Rukh Khan steps out with one more exceptional performance and he is a treat. The first half of Zero is quite impressive. The second half of the film is not for everyone and it will appeal to limited sections of audience. Though the film has enough flaws, the beautiful moments will take the lead on the film. Yes, the film dips down but the performances and the emotional drama make it bounce back.
Final Word: Shah Rukh Khan steps out with one more top notch performance and is a treat to watch. JANUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET

KGF
KGF is the story and struggle of Rocky (Yash) who comes from a slum and dreams big. He shifts his base to Mumbai and emerged as a goon soon across the circles of mafia. It is then he gets through a deal to assassinate a gold mafia don from KGF. Thrilled with this offer, Rocky moves ahead and the rest of KGF is about the deal, who offered the deal, Rocky's relation with KGF and what happens next. Watch KGF to know about the entire story.
Analysis : KGF starts with a bang and the high voltage 150 action episodes have been highly engaging and entertaining. The film slows down as the story proceeds and takes several turns. Yash tops the show with his stunning presence and performance. KGF has an overdose of mass and the songs have been shot well. The interval bang has been decent and the first half of KGF has been engaging. KGF second half takes a huge dip and fails to stand out again. The performances and the action stunts stand out again in the film. Some of the songs have been placed badly and the climax episodes leave the audience puzzled. The makers hints that KGF has a sequel for the film. On the whole, the second half of KGF has been below average.
Final Word: Yash stuns the audience with his performance and his stunning looks but KGF fails to deliver the right message for the audience. WWW.WISHESH.NET | JANUARY 2019

Padi Padi Leche Manasu Story : Padi Padi Leche Manasu narrates about the journeys of Surya (Sharwanand) and Vaishali (Sai Pallavi). Surya falls in love with Vaishali instantly and tries hard to impress her. Soon after they end up loving each other, an unexpected incident shatters them and the duo parts ways. Then they decide to meet together after years where they parted ways. The rest of Padi Padi Leche Manasu is all about what happens next and will they reunite back.
Analysis :
2.5/5
Padi Padi Leche Manasu is a poetic film and is focused on the journey of Surya and Vaishali. The episodes of their love story have been well penned and presented. The songs and the cinematography work make the film a visual feast. The performances and the interval episodes make the first half of Padi Padi Leche Manasu a beautiful film. Soon the film takes a huge turn and fails to impress the audience. The shoddy narration, dragged episodes and repeated scenes leave the audience irritated. The second half of Padi Padi Leche Manasu will be completely and badly rejected by the audience as it offers nothing. Hanu Raghavapudi fails to make an impact with the second half.
Final Word: It fails to impress the audience expectation. The shoddy narration , dragged episodes and the repeated scenes leave the audience irritated. JANUARY 2019 | WWW.WISHESH.NET
