ऐ श्याम तेरी बंसी मुझे घायल करती है , मुस्कान तेरी मीठी मुझे कायल करती है ।

यह सोने की होती तो, ना जाने क्या होता , जब बाँस की होकर इतना इतराती हैँ ।

तुम गोरे होते तो, ना जाने क्या होता, जब तेरी सांवली सुरत पर दुनिया दीवानी है ।



तुम सीधे होते तो ना जाने, क्या होता, जब तेरी बांकी चाल पर दुनिया मरती है ।

कभी रास रचाते हो, कभी बंसी बजाते हो, कभी माखन खाने की भी मन में आ जाती है |

ऐ श्याम तेरी बंसी मुझे घायल करती है, मुस्कान तेरी मीठी मुझे कायल करती है ।

एस. एस. डोगरा 

उत्तराखण्ड को भारत का स्विट्ज़रलैंड माना जाता है। हरे-भरे वृक्ष, ऊंची-ऊंची पहाड़ियाँ, झील-झरने, प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य का अदभूत नज़ारा देखने को मिलता है पहाड़ों की रानी मंसूरी में। भारत की राजधानी दिल्ली से मात्र 290 किलोमीटर दूर तथा समुन्द्रतल से 2003 मीटर की ऊंचाई पर स्थित बेहद लोकप्रिय पर्यटक स्थल के रूप में प्रसिद्ध है मंसूरी। प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्य के दीवाने गर्मियों में ठण्डक लेने के लिए तथा सर्दियों में बर्फ से ढकी पहाड़ियों पर लुत्फ उठाने, मंसूरी, अक्सर घूमने चले आते हैं। उत्तराखण्ड की राजधानी देहारादून से केवल 35 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित मंसूरी में अनेक दर्शनीय स्थल है। इन दर्शनीय स्थलों को देखने के लिए स्थानीय बसों तथा निजी वाहनों की मदद से देखा जा सकता है। वैसे मंसूरी शहर में, स्थानीयबस सेवाओं हेतु लायब्रेरी बस स्टैंड, मैसोनिक लोजे तथा टिहरी बस स्टैंड से विभिन्न पर्यटक स्थल तक पहुँचने में सहायक साबित होते हैं। हालांकि इन निजी टैक्सी का भाड़ा थोड़ा अधिक खर्चीला पड़ता है। परन्तु अधिकांश रूप से निजी टैक्सी से अधिकाधिक दर्शनीय स्थल देखने में सुगमता रहती है।
Mussorrie Lake

हिमालयन श्रंखलाओं में स्थित पहाड़ों की रानी को चरितार्थ करने में मंसूरी का कोई मुक़ाबला नहीं है। हरियाली, विशाल पर्वत श्रंखलाओं, घाटियों, सुन्दर फूलों से सुसज्जित मंसूरी में अनेक दर्शनीय स्थल हैं जिनहे देखने के लिए वर्ष भर पर्यटकों का आवागमन चलता ही रहता है। मंसूरी में सबसे अधिक लोकप्रिय कैंपटी फॉल है जो मंसूरी से यमनोत्री रोड पर मात्र 15 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर निरन्तर बहता हुआ जीवन को जाँबाज तरीके से जीने का संदेश देता है। यह समुन्द्रतल से 4500 फीट ऊंचाई पर है तथा विशाल पर्वतों से घिरा हुआ यह झरना सभी उम्र वर्ग के बीच आकर्षण का केंद्र बना हुआ है। गर्मियों के मौसम में, पर्यटक गर्मी से राहत पाने के लिए गगनचुंबी बहने वाली शीतल धाराओं के नीचे नहाकर आनन्द लेते हैं। यहाँ गढ़वाल विकास निगम मण्डल द्वारा स्थापित विश्राम गृह में महिलाओं - पुरुषों को अपना कीमती सामान सुरक्षित रखने तथा कपड़े आदि बदलने की सुविधा है। इसी के पास कैंपटी झील भी है जहां बोटिंग का आनन्द भी लिया जा सकता है।

मंसूरी में पर्यटकों के लिए काफी चर्चित नाम है गन हिल। गन हिल से हिमालय पर्वत श्रंखलाओं विशेष रूप से बंदपंच, श्रीकान्थ,पिथवाड़ा, गंगोत्री के अलावा मंसूरी तथा दून घाटी के दुर्लभ तथा अत्यंत मनोरम दृश्यों को देखा जा सकता है। सूत्रों के मुताबिक, इसका नाम भी एक रोचक तथ्य है वास्तव में, भारतवर्ष में आजादी से पहले, इसी पहाड़ी पर ठीक दोपहर के समय एक तोप से गोला दागा जाता था ताकि लोग अपनी-अपनी घड़ियाँ समय जाँच कर ठीक कर सकें। इसलिए बाद में इसका नाम गन हिल पड़ गया। गन हिल पर पहुँचने के लिए पैदल रास्ता भी है तथा पर्यटक कार्यालय के पास ट्रालियाँ रोपवे के माध्यम से एकदम तिरछी ऊंचाई तथा माल रोड से 400 मीटर के रास्ते को रोमांचक सवारी से पहुंच जा सकता है जहां से दूर दूर तक फैली अपार प्राकृतिक सौन्दर्यता का नजारा लिया जा सकता है। यदि मंसूरी जाने का मौका मिले तो कम्पनी बाग भी अवशय जाना चाहिए क्योंकि यहाँ सुन्दर हरे भरे व्रक्षों के अलावा फूलों की महक अनायास ही पर्यटकों को अपनी तरफ आकर्षित करने की क्षमता रखता है।

भट्टा फ़ाल:भट्टा फ़ाल भी जल्द ही पिकनिक स्थल के रूप में विकसित हो गया है। यह मंसूरी-देहारादून रोड पर, मंसूरी से लगभग आठ किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित है और पर्यटकों को लुभाने में किसी से कम नहीं है। यहाँ मंसूरी उत्तरांचल जल,गलोगी जल विधयुत गृह सयन्त्र 1907 में स्थापित किया गया था। इस पिकनिक स्थल पर पर्यटक ठंडे पानी में स्नान आदि कर गर्मी से राहत मिलती है साथ में थकावट भी दूर हो जाती है। पर्वतों के बीच से इस झरने का नजारा भी दर्शनीय है। सूत्रों से पता चला कि इसका नाम इसके पास स्थित गाँव भट्टा गाँव पर ही पड़ा है जहां वर्षों पहले भट्टे लगे थे। इस पर्यटक स्थल तक पहुँचने के लिए निजी वाहन अथवा पैदल जाया जाता है। इस स्थल को विकसित करने की सख्त जरूरत है। भट्टा फ़ाल के आस-पास सुन्दर पार्क तथा विश्राम हेतु अच्छा इंतजाम है तथा पेट की भूख मिटाने के लिए रेस्तरां तथा कोल्ड ड्रिंक आदि उपलब्ध हैं।

धनोल्टी: मंसूरी से टिहरी रोड की तरफ, मंसूरी से 25 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर स्थित मनोरम स्थल धनोल्टी की अनुपम छटा देखकर प्रकर्ति के चहेते  इस रमणीक स्थल को जरूर देखने आते हैं। यह पर्यटकों के लिए विशेष आकर्षण का केंद्र जहां देवदार के बड़े-बड़े वृक्ष तथा ऊंची-ऊंची पहाडों से प्रकर्तिक सौन्दर्य देखते ही बनता है। यहाँ दो सुन्दर पार्क भी पर्यटकों को अपनी तरफ खीचने में बेहद लोकप्रिय हैं। वैसे यहाँ पर गढ़वाल विकास निगम मण्डल का पर्यटक विश्राम गृह भी बना हुआ है तथा कुछेक होटल भी बने हैं। इस सुन्दर पर्यटक स्थल पर भी वर्ष भर पर्यटकों का आना जाना लगा रहता है। यदि आप भी मंसूरी घूमने जाएँ तो धनोल्टी भी अवशय घूम कर आयें।

The portion of Pankha Road Flyover from Dwarka to Pankha Road which was long awaited was ultimately opened to public on April 23, 2014. It was beautiful scene to watch vehicles moving smoothly over the flyover and ultimately merging with the traffic from Uttam Nagar side. The project was started on 20.02.2008 at an estimated cost of Rs.90.23 crores and the proposed date of completion was 03.10.2010 but missed its deadline due non-completion of work by other departments like BSES, DJB, MTNL.

The side road or the slip road from Pankha Road for Dwarka is still under progress as few houses coming in the way are to be rehabilitated.

Can diabetes be ward off ?

Adhering to Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits and vegetables and low in animal products, may protect one against developing type 2 diabetes Padma Shri, Dr. B C Roy National Awardee & DST National Science Communication Awardee, Dr. K K Aggarwal, President Heart Care Foundation of India and Sr National Vice President Indian Medical Association.

The diet emphasizes olive oil, vegetables, fruits, nuts, cereals, legumes and fish, and deemphasizes meat and dairy products. It is a healthy eating plan that seems to help in the prevention of heart disease.

In the study published in the British Medical Journal, researchers tracked the diets of 13,380 Spanish university graduates with no history of diabetes. Participants filled out a 136–item food questionnaire, which measured their entire diet (including their intake of fats), their cooking methods and their use of dietary supplements. During an average of 4.4 years of follow–up, the team found that people who adhered to a Mediterranean diet had a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. In fact, those who stuck very closely to the diet reduced their risk by 83 percent.

Moreover, the people who tended to stick closest to the diet were those with factors that put them at the highest risk for developing diabetes, such as being older, having a family history of diabetes and being an ex–smoker. These people were expected to have a higher rate of diabetes, but when they adhered to the Mediterranean diet this was not the case.

Type 2 diabetes is typically brought on by poor eating habits, too much weight and too little exercise.
One key factor that might be responsible for the protective effect of the Mediterranean diet is its emphasis on olive oil for cooking, frying, putting on bread and mixing in salad dressings.

Preventing diabetes – TIPSEat less
Omit refined carbohydrates (white sugar, white rice and white maida)
Use olive oil, vegetables, fruits, nuts, cereals, legumes and fish, and reduce meat and dairy products

CRPF Officials Dead in Road Accident in Dwarka; Police Department Must Take Corrective Measures

$

You must be aware of the serious accident that took place yesterday in Dwarka near Sector 16B Intersection. 3 Officials of CRPF died in the accident where a collision took place between the CRPF Bus and a Truck. 

Accidents at this intersection is nothing new. People in the vicinity can tell how frequently accidents take place here and the police records also must be having it. Most of the accidents are minor but vehicles do get damaged and there is a continuous risk to life due to such frequent accidents. 

I don't want to put the entire blame on the Police Department but yes, Delhi Police and Delhi Traffic Police both are guilty of negligence as far as this particular place is concerned. I have a few reasons to say so.

1. Traffic Signal here doesn't work most of the times. Even if it does, its malfunctioning. Even today morning I visited the place and found many of the lights in the signal were not working. Photograph is being attached.

2. Since IP University is very near, hundreds of students pass from this intersection everyday. Most of them dangerously take a turn into the service lane or simply drive on the wrong side. Not even a single policeman is seen around to stop them.

3. Auto-rickshaws, E-Rickshaws, etc are always found driving on the wrong side carrying University students/staff.

4. A Police Chowki is there near the university but not even a single staff person is found outside to keep an eye on the activities.

When so many accidents are being reported from the same point and complaints are being made for non-functional traffic signal, it is the responsibility of the police department to take n/a. Now since a severe accident has taken place at this place in question, I would request you to kindly deploy Police Officials at the intersection and do the needful.

If you require any support from my side in form of volunteers to assist the Traffic Police in doing a special drive, kindly let me know.

Surrender in the Integral Yoga - A Compilation by Jamshed Mavalwalla

The Mother once said, “It is not by books that Sri Aurobindo ought to be studied but by subjects — what he has said on the Divine, on Unity, on religion, on evolution, on education, on self-perfection, on supermind, etc., etc.”

The present compilation in ePDF format aims to bring together all that Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have written on ‘Surrender’. It is meant for those who wish to understand the concept of Surrender in the Integral Yoga; it also serves as an invaluable guide to seekers who wish to practice it. The quotations have been divided into 20 captioned sections and further subsections for the ease of comprehension of the reader, all conveniently linked from the Contents section for easy navigation.

While mentioning about the importance of personal effort in Integral Yoga, Sri Aurobindo says that “the personal effort required is a triple labour of aspiration, rejection and surrender.” We hope to follow up this book with comprehensive compilations on ‘Aspiration’ and ‘Rejection’ as practiced in the Integral Yoga.

This ePDF book is available for free download.

 Global experts attending the International Corrosion Awareness Day late last evening jointly organised by FICCI and NACE International Gateway India Section (NIGIS) of NACE International stressed on the need of setting up a separate Ministry/Department to tackle the growing menace of Corrosion in the country.

India loses more than USD 40 billion a year - about 4 percent of the size of the total economy - due to corrosion in infrastructure and industry segments. Better corrosion control is needed at war footing to save expensive infrastructure especially in the coastal areas” said Dr A.J.V.Prasad, Joint Secretary, Chemicals, Department of C&PC, Government of India speaking on the occasion.

“Corrosion (a naturally occurring phenomenon) can cause damage to everything from automobiles, drinking water systems to pipelines, bridges, factories and public buildings etc. It is estimated to impact over 3% of GDP and is a menace adversely impacting various industry sectors including utilities, transportation, oil and gas, steel and infrastructure etc. and needs to be tackled in a scientific manner” said Dr Elaine Bowman, Past President, NACE International, global body fighting Corrosion.

“Realizing the problem of Corrosion in various sectors including defense the US government has set up a separate department U.S. Department of Defense Office of Corrosion Policy & Oversight (CPO) . India also needs a separate department on similar lines” said Dr Bowman.

“Better corrosion control is needed through use of proper corrosion free materials. Stainless steel comes first in mind. The demand for corrosion free material is on increase in high-end industries including Oil & Gas, Energy and Shipping, railways and ports. There is a need to find ways and means to save leakages on maintenance costs due to corrosion and offer right solutions to enhance the life of products, plant, machinery and civil structures by using suitable grades of stainless steel” said Yatinder Pal Suri, India head, Outokumpu, the Finnish Stainless Steel company .

“Stainless steel is the fastest growing segment of the metals industry,its applications are diverse and new applications are being constantly being developed. It has become major part in all of our lives, and has truly changed the world. In India demand for stainless steel is on constant increase due to awareness about the product and availability of right grades and sizes. The demand for the corrosion free metal is on increase in high end industries including Oil & Gas, Energy and shipping-related industries, railways, ports, infrastructure and automotive where corrosion is a serious issue.”said Mr Suri.

On 19th April, 2014 the teaching faculty of R.D.Rajpal School under the guidance of Mrs. Sonia Rehlia, resource person and an eminent author for pre-primary and primary students put forth an amazing workshop by channelizing the creative thoughts of teachers in a positive way. It was a three hour session of fun and laughter when the teachers indulged in activities. In this ever challenging world of education the right blend of learning, exposure & research are a must for the overall growth of an individual. Education has gone through a major metamorphosis and Mrs. Sonia Rehlia insisted that we as teachers can be a real catalyst in the teaching-learning scenario.

The three hour session was immensely motivational and a wonderful beginning for the new academic session. It really did charge up the teachers to adapt methods in bringing out the best in each and every child. She encouraged the teachers to analyze the role of school in nurturing the tender souls by adopting an inclusive curriculum, giving holistic inputs and formulating a well-rounded assessment and evaluation strategy. She emphasized on the educator’s role in creating and nurturing healthy communication. The curriculum should give equal impetus to all the four communication skills – listening, speaking, reading and writing. This was indeed a positive approach in order to turn out confident and articulate adults of tomorrow who can achieve the magnificent goals that ‘literacy’ intended for both the individual as well as the society. Workshops of this manner leave an impact on the educators who play a vital role in the metamorphosis of the teaching-learning phenomena.

Singh said it was “gratifying” to see Asian Football progressing in the field of Medical Science and that “Indian Football is not far behind.”

“The Medical Conference is a flagship event for AFC in the field of sports science and medicine and I firmly believe that India with its Development Programme, and the rate at which it is growing, is the right place to host it.” He also underlined the fact that with the FIFA U-17 World Cup to be held in India in 2017, “pre-Competition Medical Assessment is very much required with the latest technologies and practices.”

Dutta mentioned it’s an “honour for India to host the biggest Sports Medicine Conference of Asia.” “It is indeed vibrant times for Indian Football. With the U-17 FIFA World Cup set to take place in three years time, the first-of-its kind AFC Medical Conference in India could not have come at a better time.” “Success comes when right action is taken at the right time,” he further stated.

“We have the ISL which will kick-off in September. Medical Science covers talent scouting by genetic application, prevention of injury, recovery from stress, doping control and also performance enhancement, all of which are vital aspects of the game.”

FIFA Development Officer Dr. Prabhakaran also advocated medical assistance for all Airtel I-League Clubs, State Associations, and all stakeholders. “FIFA always supports the use of modern medical technology,” he informed.

“All stake holders involved with Football need to spread the message across the length and breadth of the Country.” Singh also stressed on advanced medical care backed with proper infrastructure. “With Players playing around 50-60 matches a year advanced medical care with proper infrastructure is very much needed.”

He added: “You can have the best Doctors with you but without proper infrastructure and process, you cannot proceed. FIFA ensures pre-Competition Medical Assessment is absolutely necessary.”

Along with that, AED’s should be available at all times and upon a Cardiac Arrest on the pitch, its mandatory the AEDs reach within three minutes. We have to keep in mind, with every minute the chances of survival goes down.”

“The AFC has plans to take the 5th Medical Conference to a greater level. It is not only about the name change which has been kept in tune with FIFA but subjects like Team physiotherapist Workshop, sports physiotherapists workshop, anti-doping workshop would also be conducted with the help of New Delhi Anti Doping Laboratory.” Dutta also stressed on the importance of Indian Clubs and their administrators understanding the importance of Medical Science in the modern day game.

“There is immense scope of improvement in this area. I-League clubs should include sports science, for prevention of injury, recovery, which the Clubs have been neglecting, with the exceptions of Bengaluru FC and Pune FC.”

Waxing lyrical on just-crowned Airtel I-League Champions Bengaluru FC and their squad being the fittest, Dutta said: “Bengaluru FC’s win in the I-League was victory for professionalism over traditionalism.

“They have the best Medical Team which travels with the squad. They have tied up with H.E.A.L which provides them best injury management facilities. Three physiotherapists, one conditioning Coach, and a dietician always travel with them. fewer injuries and a fit squad has been the key to their success, not big names.”

The Action Hero is an iconic fixture of Hindi cinema, so much so that even a partial roll call of actors who have made their bones in such roles could outlast a montage of every movie scene. But while you can’t throw a curiously ineffective frag grenade or unleash a burst of machine gun fire without nearly hitting an actor who has done a stint or two in the Action Hero role but now the female Action Hero or first woman 'hero' as it can be said is “Kangana Ranaut as Revolver Rani” is in the town and had made crazy about her conical bras, wild, curly hair and proudly sports a sun-kissed, tanned look. With a revolver as her weapon of choice, she sports army jackets, salwar and combat boots. She's loud, crass and violent. Set in the badlands of interior Madhya Pradesh, Sai Kabir’s directorial debut follows Alka Singh (Kangana Ranaut), a feared dacoit, as she navigates the murky world of politics and the murkier world of love. Revolver Rani Starring Debut actress Miss India UK Deana Uppal is all new for Bollywood but the bold and beautiful actress has proved that new comers can also beat the experienced ones. The actress has won accolades from all over for her debut movie. She touched heart with her simple yet powerful performance.

Revolver Rani is a rom com which goes into the deadly world of goons, where guns speak in volume. The film flits from the personal to the political, the emotional to the egregious, and the absurd to the deadly serious. For the most part, Revolver Rani hits the bull’s eye. Movie critic of HelloMumbai said, “The characterisation of the characters in the land of dead is mostly humourous. Alka loves ‘phasion’ and so she loves designer metallic bra from Italy which only she could dare to don. She even is differently wild when wants to play with her ‘toy boy’ Rohan. Such is the psychology of Alka who is least bothered about what people say about her. Deana Uppal had done a brilliant job in the movie.”

According to Dubaitoday, “After watching it you realize that you are watching a desi version of Kill Bill in Revolver Rani. It’s got Quentin Tarantino written all over each and every sequence, the director having broken the film down into just that — a series of well-orchestrated sequences. And in tune with director Sai Kabir's aesthetic inspiration, Revolver Rani exudes Tarantino style pulpy kitsch, much to the amusement of an unsuspecting Indian audience. Deana Uppal is pretty, and has a large and expressive pair of eyes and got audience glued on her others were not able to make their impact.”

BombaySamachar said, “Revolver Rani is a commendably tantalizing attempt for Bollywood. Kangana’s calling it shots (quite literally) paired with her wicked conniving smile is tempting. The narrative in its illustrious moments lures us into its absorbing premises before turning languid. Deana Uppal looks beautiful and acts confidently. Though the product was made with a more competent vision in mind, the execution wasn’t tempered correctly which makes the film fall a few notches. For the mettlesome imagination, Revolver Rani makes for a gripping watch.”
