SECTS IN JAINISM Jainism is broadly divided into two Sects

Digambar & Shvetambar further subdivided

into small sections, here is an outlook of Sects

in Jainism

DIGAMBARA

Digambara is one of the two main sects of Jainism, the other being Svetambar. Until the leadership of Acharya Bhadrabahu, there was no significant division. After that some divisions gradually arose.The name Digambara means literally ‘clothed in the quarters of the sky’ and they are called ‘atmosphere-clad’ or ‘sky-clad.’ Nudity is the main doctrinal difference between the Shvetambaras and the Digambaras. Outward appearance is seen by the Digambaras as an index of proper understanding of the doctrine. Senior Digambar monks who wear no clothes, following the practice of Lord Mahavira, do not consider themselves to be nude. Rather, they are wearing the environment, that is the quintessential, akasha or space. The Digambar sect, in recent centuries, has been divided into the following major sub-sects: Beespanth / Bispanthi Terapanth Taranpanth or Samaiyapanth Beespanth : The followers of Bisapantha support the Dharma-gurus, that is, religious authorities known as Bhattarakas who are also the heads of Jain Mathas, that is. religious monasteries. The Bisapanthas, in their temples, worship the idols of Tirthankaras and also the idols of Kshetrapal, Padmavati and other deities. They worship these idols with saffron, flowers, fruits, sweets, scented ‘agara-battis’, i.e., incense sticks, etc. While performing these worships the Bisapanthis sit on the ground and do not stand. They perform Arati, i.e., waving of lights over the idol, in the temple even at night and distribute prasad, i.e., sweet things offered to the idols. The Bisapantha,

according to some, is the original form of the Digambara sect and today practically all Digambar Jains from Maharashtra, Karnataka and South India and a large number of Digambara Jains from Rajasthan and Gujarat are the followers of Bisapanth. Terapanth : Terapanth arose in North India in the year 1683 of the Vikram Era as a revolt against the domination and conduct of the Bhattarakas. i.e. religious authorities, of the Digambar Jains. As a result in this sub-sect, the institution of Bhattarakas lost respect in North India, however in South India the Bhattarakas continue to play an importent role. In their temples, the Terapanthis install the idols of Tirthankars and not of Kshetrapal, Padmavati and other deities. Further. they worship the idols not with flowers, fruits and other green vegetables (known as sachitta things), but with sacred rice called ‘Aksata’, cloves, sandal, almonds, dry coconuts, dates, etc. As a rule they do not perform Arathi or distribute Prasad in their temples. Again, while worshipping they stand and do not sit. From these differences with the Bisapanthis it is clear that the Terapanthis appear to be reformers. They are opposed to various religious practices. As according to them these are not real Jain practices. The Terapanth had performed a valuable task of rescuing the Digambars from the clutches of wayward Bhattarakas and hence the Terapanthis occupy a peculiar position in the Digambar Jain community. The Terapanthis are more numerous in U.P, Rajasthan and M.P It is pertinent to note that even though the name Terapanth sub-sect appears both among the Digambar and the Svetambar sects. Still the two Terapanthis are entirely different from each other. While the Digambara Terapanthis believe in nudity and idol-worship, the Svetambar Terapanthis are quite opposed to both. Taranpanth : The sub-sect Taranapanth is known after its founder Taran Swami(1448-1515 A.D.). This sub-sect is also called Samaiyapanth because its followers worship Sarnaya, i.e., sacred books and not the idols. Taran-Swami died at Malharagarh, in former Gwalior State in Madhya Pradesh, and this is the central place of pilgrimage of Taranapanthis. The Taranapanthis strongly refute idolatry but they have their own temples in which they keep their sacred books for worship. They do not offer

articles like fruits and flowers at the time of worship. Besides the sacred books of the Digambars, they also worship the fourteen sacred books written by their founder Taran-Swami. Further, Taranapanthis give more importance to spiritual values and the study of sacred literature. That is why we find a complete absence of outward religious practices among them. Moreover, Taran-Swami; was firmly against the caste-distinctions and in fact threw open the doors of his sub-sect even to Muslims and low-caste people. There are three main traits of the Taranapanthis: The aversion to idol worship The absence of outward religious practices The ban on caste distinctions They were evolved as a revolt against the religious beliefs and practices prevailing in the Digambar Jain sect, and it appears that Taran-Swami might have formulated these principles under the direct influence of Islamic doctrines and the teachings of Lonkashaha, the founder of the non-idolatrous Sthanakvasi sub-sect of the Swetambara sect. The Taranapanthis are few in number and they are mostly confined to Bundelkhand, Malwa area of Madhya Pradesh and Khandesh area of Maharashtra. SVETAMBARA

The Svetambara (also spelt Svetambar, Shvetambara, Shvetambar or Swetambar) is one of the two main sects of Jainism, the other being Digambar. Svetambar literally means “white-clad”, describing its ascetics’ practice of wearing white clothes, which sets it apart from Digambar (“sky clad”), whose ascetic practitioners wear no clothes. Svetambaras, unlike Digambaras, do not believe that ascetics must practice nudity, or that women are unable to obtain moksha. Svetambaras maintain that the 19th Tirthankara, Mallinath, was a woman. At present in Svetambara sects, there are 2,510 Monks and 10,228 nuns, while in Digambaras there are 548 monks and 527 nuns

(According to ‘Smagra Jain chaturmas suchi-2006′). The Svetambara tradition follows the lineage of Acharya Sthulibhadra suri. Kalpasutra mentions some of the lineages in ancient times. From the Kottiya Gana, which was once prominent. Like the Digambar sect, the Swetambar sect has also been split into three main sub-sects: Murtipujak Sthanakwasi Terapanthi Swetambar sect is divided into two sub-sects, those practitioners who worship images in temples, known as the Murtipujak (“image-worshiping”) or Mandirmargi (“temple-going”), and those who do not, the reformist sub-sects of the Sthanakwasis and the Terapanthis.

Murtipujak : The original stock of the Swetambars is known as Murtipujak Swetambars since they are the thorough worshippers of idols. They offer flowers, fruits, saffron, etc. to their idols and invariably adorn them with rich clothes and jeweled ornaments.

Sthanakwasi : The Sthanakwasi arose not directly from the Shwetambars but as reformers of an older reforming sect, viz., the Lonka sect of Jainism. This Lonka sect was founded in about 1474 A.D. by Lonkashah, a rich and well-read merchant of Ahmedabad. The main principle of this sect was

not to practice idol-worship.

Terapanthi: Terapantha got originated from the Sthanakvasi

sect. Acharya Bhikshu (Formerly known as Muni Bhikanji) was formerly a Sthanakwasi saint and had initiation from his Guru, by name Acharya Raghunatha. Acharya Bhikshu had differences with his Guru on several aspects of religious practices of Sthanakwasi ascetics and when these took a serious turn, he founded Terapanth on the full-moon day in the month of Asadha in the year Vikram Samvat 1817, i.e., 1760 A.D.

TRANSLATOR AS A

CAREER OPTION

In an age where geography is fast becoming history and Internet is cutting across all sections of society, the English language is losing its hold, thanks to the emergence of China,

Japan and India as powers to reckon with. In such a scenario, the job of a translator or interpreter is increasingly being seen as a career option by many. The emergence of newer centers of language suggests that there is no dearth of economic opportunities for those aspiring to take up translation or interpretation as a full-time profession. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian are the languages to look out for.

TRANSLATOR VS INTERPRETER Interpretation and translation are two closely related linguistic disciplines. On the surface, the difference between interpreting and translation is only the difference in the medium: the interpreter translates orally, while a translator interprets written text. "Both interpreting and translation presuppose a certain love of language and deep knowledge of more than one tongue," says Prodip Dutta, a freelance translator. A translator usually works with print documents or recordings. An interpreter works on-site real time and does not necessarily do verbatim translation of a speech, but interprets the essence in the best form.

PRE-REQUISITES Acquire the skills This entails doing a diploma course in translation. Do not confuse this with a language course. You must have a command over at least two languages - the source language and the target language. Source language is the language from where you are translating or interpreting. Target language is the language towards which you are proceeding, whether it's written or spoken. If you are a graduate with a flair for writing along with computer skills, you are likely to have an edge over the rest.

MARKET MANTRA Do some ground work of the translation agencies in your area and customise your CV accordingly. For beginners, it is advisable to highlight the areas that you would like to specialise in. Easy availability It is better to face the fact that you are not the only translator in your field. It, therefore, makes sense to lower your price to gain entry. You could also develop expertise in a field or subject whose expertise is not easily available. Browse the Internet and do some basic market research that will give you a fair idea about the kind of rates that you could possibly command. Ensure that you are available at all times, including weekends. OPPORTUNITIES GALORE Universities, large MNCs, which have chambers of commerce; firms conducting market surveys; and of course, medical transcription; opportunities are aplenty for translators and also interpreters. If you are good at your job, you could also be enlisted in the Indian National Scientific Documentation Centre (INSDOC), in Delhi. Susobhan Roy, who pursues translation and interpretation of Russian language, as a part-time job, says, "Those looking for a career in this industry should keep abreast of the modern day developments in the related language field.

MOOLAH TALK The remuneration depends upon experience and the quality of translation. It could start at 10,000 per month and go up to 1 lakh or more for interpreters. For translators, it is usually on a per document basis when freelancing.

FUTURE PROSPECTS Shekhar Niyogi, education consultant, Education Unlimited Inc, says, "It is likely to improve as more foreign direct investments come into India and there is increased interaction with international investors and partners." Malobika Chatterjee, the founder of Mono Translation Bureau in Kolkata, which handles any kind of

language issue from translation, editing, course

writing, proof reading, transcription, ghost riding and so on, says, "Love playing with words and make your vocabulary extensive and you are bound to do be a winner."

Photography as a Career Option With the boom in advertising, media and the fashion industry, photography has emerged as a lucrative and thrilling career

option to many of Indian youths. Until some years ago the masses regarded photography as a hobby profession only, but now it has now emerged in a big way. These days, Photography is fast emerging as a popular career choice amongst all the age groups. Photography is both a science and an art. It is an artistic means of expression, the camera replacing the pen or the paintbrush. A photographer must be able to create a good composition of any subject, a piece of machinery, the beauty of human body, scenery or a child's smile. It is rightly said that a single picture can sometimes be much more eloquent than a thousand words. Few vocations offer a larger variety of prospects than does photography. Photography is divided into many streams each generating numerous job opportunities. Photography Eligibility Criteria

These days, lots of schools offer photography at the 10+2 stage as a vocational subject. There are no specific academic requirements for the full time courses in photography; however, candidates who have cleared the 10+2 exam are eligible for the diploma/ certificate courses in photography. Photography is also offered as an optional subject for a bachelor's degree in fine arts. Photography Job Prospects

A modern day photographer can work in many avatars, the notable among them include: Press Photographers/photojournalists:

Photojournalists supply pictures to the national and global press. This career role demands an ability to photograph all kinds of newsworthy people, places,

sports, political, and community events for newspapers, journals, magazines, or television. A photojournalist must possess a journalistic sense to shoot a good news picture.

Feature Photographers: Feature photography essentially involves describing a story through pictures and hence requires a thorough knowledge of the subject. Many photographers specialize in the photography of wildlife, sports travel, environment etc.

Commercial (industrial) Photographers: Such a photographer takes pictures of merchandise, exteriors and interiors of factories, and machinery both indoors and outdoors to be used forcompany brochures, annual reports, and in advertising and selling.

Portrait and Wedding

Photographers: They take pictures of individuals or small groups, handling

subjects like pets, children, families, weddings, functions and activities of sports and social clubs.

Advertising Photographers: They are connected with the photographic departments of advertising agencies, photographic studios. A sizeable section of them happen to be freelancers. Advertising photography is possibly the best-paid and most competitive branch of all; success in this sphere depends entirely on ability, efficiency and the right personality.

Fashion Photographers: This arena has developed in India only recently The bulk of

fashion photography is carried out in either Mumbai or Delhi and involves by highly sophisticated and well-equipped studios by freelancers who are

commissioned by fashion houses of advertising agencies.

Freelance Photographer: Freelancing has been the most popular career choice among photographers. Photographers who want to be self-employed need to have business management skills. They can do freelancing in any of the above fields. Self-employed, or freelance, photographers may license the use of their photographs through stock photo agencies or contract with clients or agencies to provide photographs as necessary. They should also develop an individual style of photography in order to differentiate themselves from the competition.

AJANTA ELLORA – THE

ANCIENT INDIAN HISTORY

STILL PRESERVED

About Ajanta Ellora Tourism Located near the city of Aurangabad in Maharashtra, the Ajanta-Ellora Caves are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Ajanta and Ellora Caves are two different tourist destinations, which are often mentioned together. The reason behind this is that both are rock-cut cave monuments, which feature beautiful paintings and sculptures. The Ajanta Caves are located 107 km away from Aurangabad city, just outside the village of Ajanta. This complex comprises 29 rock-cut cave monuments, which date back to around 2nd century BC. Construction of the caves was done in two phases, the first group of caves was built around 200 BC, while the second group was built in 600 AD. Nestled in the semi-arid Sahayadri Hills above the Waghur River, the caves at Ajanta are famous for beautiful paintings and sculptures that depict tales of Jatakas. Built using only hammer and chisel, these caves served as secluded retreats for Buddhist monks, who performed their rituals in the chaityas and viharas of these caves. The artwork in the caves comprises well preserved wall paintings of Boddhisattva, Padmapani and Avalokiteshvar. On 28th April 1819, these caves were rediscovered by a British officer, John Smith. His name along with the date is still faintly visible on the wall of Cave 9. Located 30 km from the city of Aurangabad, the Ellora cave complex is an archaeological site, which was built by the Rashtrakuta rulers. The cave complex comprises of 34 caves that were hewn out of solid rocks of the Charanandri Hills. Built between the 5th and 10th centuries, these caves are monasteries for Buddhists as well as temples for Hindus and Jains. A symbol of religious harmony of that time, the Ellora complex includes 12 Buddhist, 17 Hindu and 5 Jain caves. Caves 1 to 12 are Buddhist monasteries, chaityas and viharas, while caves 13 to 29 are the Hindu temples. Dating back to the 9th and 10th century, caves 30 to 34 are the Jain temples.

Every year in Aurangabad, the Ajanta-Ellora Festival is organised for paying tribute to the legendary caves of Ellora, Ajanta and other historical possessions of India. This grand ceremony is attended by the greatest artists of Indian art and culture. The cultural event includes performances in classical and folk dancing, singing and instrumental music. Earlier the venue for this festival was Kailash Temple of Ellora Caves; however, it has now been shifted to Soneri Mahal, which is a historical palace in the city. From the weather point of view, the best time to visit the Ajanta Caves is during monsoon season, when the sound of the Waghur River can be heard in the caves. Tourists can also visit these caves during the winter season. On the other hand, the ideal time to visit Ellora Caves is after the end of the monsoon. June through February is also considered good for planning a trip to the Ellora Caves. Where to Stay ?

65 TIPS FOR 65th

YEAR

OF INDEPENDENCE On India’s 65th Year of Independence, here are 65 personal finance tips for 2011 to help you Master Your Money and attain Financial Freedom.

1. Have a core portfolio in place. 2. Learn personal finance basics so that it

helps you master your money. 3. Start saving money for your future today

rather than waiting for a time when you think you will earn enough to save. That day is today.

4. Insurance is meant for risk protection only, not for investment.

5. Follow goal based investing strategy. Without a goal in life, one is a

blind man in a

blind

world (borrowed from my favourite Alistair MacLean). Define your goals today.

6. Be a co-guarantor if you can pay for the loan should the actual borrower abscond.

7. Discuss money with your spouse. 8. If you do not have a house, buy a house to

live in than as an investment. 9. Have a maximum of 1 or 2 credit cards. 10. Understand and accept that beyond real

estate, there are other investment avenuesthat you must take an exposure to.

11. Do not roll over your credit card bills to the next month. Pay it each month and move on.

12. Nothing in life is for free, nor is financial planning advice from a qualified financial planner.

13. Do retirement planning today, don’t depend on your kids to support you financially.

14. Match your employer’s investment in EPF by the same amount.

15. Remember ULIPs also stand for Unwanted Loopholes In Pockets.

16. File your income tax returns in time. 17. Buy a term insurance plan and avoid other

insurance policies. Your family needs the

resources to live their dreams when you are not around.

18. Do not take a personal loan come what may.

19. Stay from the stock market on a daily basis. It’s the only place where you pay for advice and lose your money.

20. Buy mediclaim or health insurance for you or your family.

21. Endowment insurance plans are not the most efficient investment vehicles.

22. Remember you could still have a Satyam in your portfolio today. No one can find out that for you. If they could, they would have found out about Satyam before it went down.

23. Brokerage houses, banks, insurance companies, your life insurance agent, the income tax consultant and your financial planner, everyone wants to earn money. You need to think and decide who is on your side.

24. Check your CIBIL report to make sure others who think they know about you, really do correctly.

25. Assess your EMI paying capacity before

taking on any kind of debt or loans. 26. You cannot make short term money in real

estate ever. If you have in the past, consider yourself lucky.

27. 30 minutes with India’s top personal finance magazines or your finances is better than 30 minutes of “Bade Achche Lagte Hain”.

28. Form an emergency fund. They come only when you are not prepared.

29. Review and monitor your financial plan each year.

30. Keep your insurance agent at bay. It’s time for your financial planner to move in.

31. Start with the (100-x) rule on investing, improvise as your learn more.

32. Take critical illness cover if you think there is a slight chance of it happening.

33. You actually made losses by day trading. If you are not speaking about it, it is because you are ashamed to admit your mistake to others. Don’t be a trader, be an investor.

34. Create passive sources of income if you want to become financially free.

35. Stocks and equity diversified mutual funds return the most over a long period of time. You are doomed if you do not take exposure to them.

36. Systematic Investment Planning of mutual funds are the 8th wonder of the world and your best bet to make money from the stock market.

37. Housing in India is never going to be cheap so don’t look for rates to go down to buy one if it is your first house. Buy today.

38. Moneyback insurance plans do give your money back but only when you do not need it. Avoid them.

39. Invest in Public Provident Fund (PPF) – it is one of the best fixed income instruments available today.

40. Do not have a huge amount of money lying idle in your savings account.

41. Research for the best car loan before you get sweet talked into taking one from the showroom.

42. 43. Save your income tax, why pay the

government when all it goes to is scamsters !

44. Stick to your asset allocation – it’s your pillar to getting rich.

45. Replacing your laptops, iphones, mobiles, ipads and cars each year is detrimental to your financial well being.

46. Insure your home of its content, belongings and structure – take home insurance.

47. Teach your kids to be finance savvy and the difference between needs and wants. They will be better finance-informed individuals than you.

48. Track your monthly income and expense, use monthly budgeting tools for the same.

49. Clear off the bad loans (credit card and personal loans) first. Keep the good ones.

50. Invest in gold each month, it’s a good hedge against inflation.

51. Highest NAV guaranteed insurance plans and child saving insurance plans are best avoided.

52. Appreciate and understand that inflation can become the ugly show stopper in your goals.

53. Do a annual health check up if you are beyond 30-35.

54. Know your risk tolerance. 55. Get yourself personal accident insurance. 56. Debt mutual funds are a critical part of a

your portfolio for balancing when the time comes.

57. Having physical gold is self satisfying but Gold ETFs unfortunately are a better means of investing in gold. Invest at least 50% via Gold ETFs.

58. Avoid investing in the stock market based on your best friend’s tips. And the brokerage houses. Do your own study. That way, you can blame only yourself.

59. Keep your loans less than 40% of your net take home.

60. Invest at least 25% of your net take home. 61. Spend wisely – there are discount at malls

and Goa can still happen off season. Controlling spending is a critical achievement.

62. Know basic figures like how much per month is needed to save for retirement and children’s education.

63. Take mediclaim for parents – the government gives you tax breaks on this.

64. Do a quarterly analysis of whether your annual investments are on track – if they are not, you cannot meet your goals.

65. For all things for which you need money in the next 3 years, keep the corpus in debt and not equity.

66. Get the holistic picture of your financial plan. Get a financial planner – get in touch with TheWealthWisher Financial Planners today.

ARVIND KEJRIWAL (born 16 August 1968) is an Indian social activist working under the banner India Against Corruption. He was an Indian Revenue Service

official before joining social and political activities. He was awarded Ramon Magsaysay Award for Emergent Leadership in 2006, for activating India's Right to Information movement at grassroots and social activities to empower the poorest citizens to fight corruption by holding the government answerable to the people. Kejriwal is also a Saathi (fellow) of the Association for India's Development, a Global Impact award winning NGO. In 2006 after resigning from IRS, he founded an NGO Public Cause Research Foundation[9] by donating his Magasaysay award money as corpus fund. In 2010, he along with a few likeminded people formed India Against Corruption which aimed at enacting of strong and effective anti-corruption law in India.

Early life Arvind Kejriwal was born on 16 June 1968, Haryana. His father an engineer and he spent most of his childhood living in small northern Indian towns

like Sonepat, Mathura and Hissar. He did his schooling from Campus School. Kejriwal graduated from IIT

Kharagpur with a B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering in 1989. He was a resident of Nehru Hall of Residence. In PAN IIT 2011 speech, Kejriwal recollected how IIT Kharagpur shaped him as a person saying, " I was at IIT Kharagpur from 1985 to 1989 and I think that was the most critical period of my life. Whatever I learnt at IIT has stayed with me...the entire culture, environment has laid the foundation in my life...and I am very grateful to my alma mater. I urge all fellow IITians...you are the cream of this country...please go and influence the politicians to pass the Jan Lokpal bill."

Career Kejriwal joined Tata Steel right after his graduation from IIT Kharagpur. Kejriwal quit his job with Tata Steel in 1992 and spent some time working with Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata, the Ramakrishna Mission in North-East India and Nehru Yuva Kendra.

Kejriwal joined the Indian Revenue Service in 1992 after qualifying through the Civil Services Examination. In February 2006, he voluntarily resigned from the IRS as Joint Commissioner in the Income Tax Department. After voluntary resignation from his job, he founded Parivartan, a Delhi based citizens’ movement which works on ensuring a just, transparent and accountable governance. In December 2006, Kejriwal along with Manish Sisodia and Abhinandan Sekhri started Public Cause Research Foundation, which works for promoting better local self governance and RTI related campaigns. In 2012 during his fight against corruption, he wrote a book 'Swaraj' which was released on 29 July at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi, India.

Crusade against corruption

Right to Information He along with Aruna Roy and others campaigned for the Right to Information Act (RTI), which soon became a silent social movement. Delhi Right to Information Act was passed in 2001and eventually at national level Indian Parliament passed the RTI in 2005. Thereafter in July 2006, he spearheaded an awareness campaign for RTI across India. Arvind has now instituted an RTI Award through his organisation in order to motivate others. Kejriwal has been using RTI in corruption cases in many government departments including the Income Tax Department, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Public Distribution System (PDS), the Delhi Electricity Board and others.

Jan Lokpal Bill Jan Lokpal bill movement actually started when Anna Hazare started a fast at Jantar Mantar on 5 April 2011. This got immense support from all

over the country and the government was forced to form a joint drafting committee for Lokpal Bill. Arvind Kejriwal along with Prashant Bhushan, Shanti Bhushan, Santosh Hegde and Kiran Bedi drafted the Jan Lokpal Bill. As the bill was edited and revised time to time after country wide public consultations, it was known as the Jan Lokpal Bill

i.e. the People's Lokpal bill. Though Anna Hazare was the leader of the movement for Jan Lokpal, Arvind Kejriwal is regarded as the architect behind the movement. India Against Corruption had announced indefinite fast from 15 August 2011 if the government would fail to bring the lokpal bill in the monsoon session of the parliament in August 2011. On 16 August 2011, key members of the India Against Corruption including Kejriwal, Kiran Bedi, and Manish Sisodia were arrested four hours before the planned indefinite hunger strike by Hazare. Rajan Bhagat, spokesman for Delhi Police, said police arrested Hazare under a legal provision that bans public gatherings and protests at the park in Delhi where Hazare was planning to begin his hunger strike. Activists were later released the same day although they spent two more days in the Tihar jail negotiating conditions put on protest. Kejriwal left the jail on August 18 and the protests started the following day from Ramlila Maidan in Delhi. After twelve days of protests and many discussions between the government and the activists, the parliament passed a resolution to consider three points in drafting of the Lokpal bill.

Accusations on DLF and Robert Vadra In October 2012 in a press conference, Kejriwal alleged of a nexus between realty firm DLF and Robert Vadra (son in law of Sonia Gandhi). He

accused Vadra of taking an interest-free loan of Rs. 65 crores and heavy bargains on land from DLF Limited in exchange for political favors. He even said that Harayana government has become an agent of DLF. He said the Haryana government gave 350 acres of land meant for a hospital to SEZ. Robert Vadra had 50% of shares in SEZ project in Haryana. Following this revealings now transferred and the then Director General, Consolidation of Holdings – Haryana Ashok Khemka has ordered to cancel about 3.531 acres of land holdings in Shikhopur village, Manesar, Gurgaon and its subsequent sell to DLF by companies associated to Mr. Robert Vadra.

Protest Against Salman Khurshid Kejriwal and Kumar Vishwas along with some activists were detained by police on 12 October 2012 while marching towards prime minister's residence demanding

resignation and arrest of Union Minister Salman Khurshid over allegations of financial irregularities

in functioning of Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust, an NGO run by his wife as Project Director and his mother being Chairperson of the trust. On 17 October 2012, Kejriwal told the press that Salman Khurshid had threatened him: "Salman Khurshid has threatened me. The country's law minister Salman Khurshid should not use such a language. My life is not in the hands of Khurshid. My life is in the hands of God. We will go to Farrukhabad and we will return from there as well. Killing me won't help because the country has been awakened. If one Arvind is killed, there will be another 100 Arvinds. Rather than threatening like this, it would be better that the Congress sensed the anger of people and took some concrete steps against corruption. He has spoken such a language against people of his country. He has behaved like a don"

Allegations against Nitin Gadkari Kejriwal alleged that Nitin Gadkari's, President of Bharatiya Janata Party, factories have robbed the farmers of Vidarbha in Maharas

htra of their land and water. Kejriwal's allegations did bite as he let loose a volley of questions against Gadkari flanked by fellow activist Anjani Damaniya. "Gadkari has many business interests, he has made arrangements to protect them," Kejriwal said. He accused that 100 acres of extra land that belonged to small farmers was transferred to companies owned by Nitin Gadkari in the garb of an irrigation project in Vidarbha. He also said that extra land was not returned to farmers, despite a Maharashtra government ruling. He also alleged that Gadkari acquired some land forcibly by putting pressure on farmers and that water meant for the Vidarbha farmers was diverted to power and sugar units, some of which are owned by Gadkari.

Allegations against Reliance Industries On 31 October 2012, Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan alleged that Reliance was blackmailing the government to increase

the price of gas by almost stopping the production and indulging in hoarding like petty traders. On 01 November 2012, Reliance Industries shares hit by Kejriwal's allegations.

REVIEW – 1920 EVIL RETURNS Vikram Bhatt has emerged the most successful brand in the horror genre. In fact, it won't be erroneous to state that what Karan Johar is to candy floss, Vikram Bhatt is to horror. If one

looks at Vikram's body of work, the talented storyteller has taken upon himself to petrify and frighten the moviegoers over and over again. RAAZ, 1920, SHAAPIT, HAUNTED, DANGEROUS ISHHQ, RAAZ 3... now 1920 - EVIL RETURNS. This time, of course, Vikram hands over the directorial reins to Bhushan Patel.

Let's put this on record: 1920 - EVIL RETURNS is not connected, in any way, with the first part. The plot, the characters, the set of

actors, the setting, everything is diverse. One expects 1920 - EVIL RETURNS to be crammed with chills and bloodcurdling moments. Also, in a film of this genre specifically, the conclusion to the tale has to be most compelling... and of course, spooky. But the problem with 1920 - EVIL RETURNS is that it appeals in bits and spurts. Not in totality. More on that later... 1920 - EVIL RETURNS narrates the story of Jaidev [Aftab Shivdasani], a well-known poet, who lives with his sister Karuna [Vidya Malvade]. One fine morning, Jaidev spots Smruti [Tia Bajpai] lying unconscious near the lake and gets her home. Karuna is against Jaidev's decision of bringing a stranger home. A few episodes later, Jaidev realizes that Smruti has lost her memory and doesn't remember anything except his poems. Jaidev decides to get Smruti treated in Shimla. En route, while resting in the guest house, strange developments start taking place. Jaidev realizes that Smruti is possessed by a spirit. 1920 - EVIL RETURNS may be Bhushan's first tryst at directing a movie, but the director knows the grammar of film-making right. His handling of the terrifying moments is the best part of the enterprise. Note the sequence soon after the interval or the long-drawn climax and you'll realize that Bhushan knows what he's talking about.

So where's the hitch, did you ask. It's the writing that vacillates between engaging and yawn-inducing moments. Like I pointed out earlier,

the portions depicting Tia [when she is possessed] are remarkable. Those sequences take the film to another level, actually. Conversely, the love story [between Aftab-Tia] is far from persuasive, the hate story [between Aftab-Sharad Kelkar] looks phony, the flashback [between Vidya-Sharad] is strictly okay, while the spate of songs that keep showing up at regular intervals add to the woes. Bhushan retains the clichés that are mandatory while attempting a horror film [creaking doors, isolated mansions, long and abandoned passage and hallway], which is fine. Also, to give the credit where it's due, a few episodes do startle you as well. But how one wishes the writers [Vikram Bhatt, Amin Hajee] would've spun a compelling tale. The first hour barely moves, while the post-interval portions work partially. Also, the soundtrack [Chirantan Bhatt], though good, is a waste in a film like this. Ideally, this should've been a songless film. The background score is strictly okay, while the makeup and prosthetics deserve strong mention. The cinematography is stunning, with the DoP capturing the beauty of Sweden delightfully on celluloid.

Aftab looks too mellow for the part. The fire that one associates with the lead protagonist is missing. It's up to Tia to pull off the act of a

possessed woman with flourish. An extremely talented actor, Tia is the soul of the film, displaying sensitivity [where required] and scaring the daylights of you [when needed]. Sharad Kelkar's character could've been convincing, hence the limitations in his performance. The actor, who has the premonition about the spirit and warns Aftab about it, is effective. On the whole, 1920 - EVIL RETURNS scares and shocks in bits and spurts. The film rides

LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA is also about this quest for discovering an ancient family secret: A dish called Chicken Khurana. For a country that's fanatical about foodstuff, be it consuming or serving, LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA is the first

'food movie' with a 'secret recipe' as its core issue. Although LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA is a masala film about masala, also integrated in the plotline is a love story and the myriad episodes that seem straight out of everyday life. The best thing about this film, which marks the directorial debut of Sameer Sharma, is that it doesn't stick to the formula and that's one of the reasons why this dish is worth savoring! Omi Khurana's [Kunal Kapoor] London dream has just ended. On the run from a dangerous U.K. gangster [Munish Makhija], who he owes money to, Omi returns to his native village in Punjab, pretending to be a well-heeled London lawyer. Much has changed since Omi ran away from home a decade back after stealing money from his doting grandfather, Darji [Vinod Nagpal]. The old man has since become senile and most importantly, forgotten the secret recipe of 'Chicken Khurana', a dish that made the Khurana dhaba famous across Punjab. Omi's childhood sweetheart, Harman [Huma Qureshi], is soon to be married to his cousin, Jeet [Rahul Bagga], though neither seems too happy about it. Adding to the quirkiness of the Khurana family is a free loader uncle, Titu [Rajesh Sharma], who once did a stint at a mental asylum. Will Omi be able to cover his deceit and lies for long, even as

he tries to recover the lost recipe of Chicken Khurana, the family's only hope to reclaim their pride and wealth?

India is defined, amongst many things, for food. We have food for birthdays, food for weddings, food for all kinds of celebrations, food for even bereavement... Sameer Sharma chooses a delicious dish as a metaphor and along with screenwriter Sumit Batheja serves a fare that has the right ingredients [read recipe] that make a rom-com work. The humor is super-perfect, the one-liners are witty and most importantly, it succeeds in its endeavor of making you laugh at the right points. Not many movies can claim to be thoroughly entertaining from

start to end. LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA is one enjoyable ride from its first frame to the concluding one. Brownie points to Sameer Sharma for that! LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA shines purely on the basis of its writing, execution of the written material and performances. The film finds humor in the most ordinary places and situations and though the pacing gets sluggish at times, Sharma culminates the film with a heart-felt episode that makes you disregard the minor aberration. In fact, the final moments of the film are simply outstanding, with every character confessing what they had kept concealed from each other.

Amit Trivedi's tunes are offbeat, with 'Kikli Kalerdi' and 'Luni Hasi' being the pick of the lot. I'd like to make a special mention of the

dialogue, which are soaked in humor and are thoroughly pleasant. Mitesh Mirchandani's camera captures the lush green locales of Punjab with flourish. Each character is well etched here, with everyone putting their best foot forward. Kunal Kapoor is a complete revelation. The actor is charming all through, but shines luminously in the penultimate moments of the film. The emotional sequence proves he can carry off the tough moments with dexterity. Huma Qureshi is an absolute delight to watch. Spontaneous and natural to the core, she gets her role right and how. This is another opportunity, after GOW 2, she takes full advantage of. Rajesh Sharma's performance can be described in just one word: Fantastic. What a supremely talented actor. He brings the house down every time he makes an appearance. Dolly Ahluwalia is too good. She sparkles in a succinct but significant role. Rajendra Sethi is first-rate, as always. Vinod Nagpal doesn't get lines to deliver, but it's a delight to watch him on the big screen after a hiatus.

LUV SHUV TEY CHICKEN KHURANA on the whole is a joyride from start to end. The film works because the written material,

the execution of the subject and the performances complement each other wonderfully. This delectable dish ought to be savoured for certain!

HOROSCOPE FOR WEEK FROM 2ND NOV – 9TH NOV 2012

Aries (Mar. 20--Apr. 19) : A relationship or friendship that began with gusto in Feb arrives at a point of evaluation. The question of commitment may always be an issue in this situation.

Taurus (Apr. 20--May 19): You abruptly part a relationship situation that has not been good for you. It appears that the trigger has to do with your sense of personal ethics. Gemini (May 20 -- June 20) :

As Mercury, your ruling planet, turns retrograde on election day, an agreement that you thought you shared with your partner falls apart. More negotiation will be necessary. Cancer (June 21--Jul y 21) :

This might be a week in which you let yourself give into chocolate bonbons and other yummy things. Self-discipline is not at its best. Avoid temptations if possible. Leo (July 22 --Aug. 21):

You may believe that you are done with the repair projects or fixing “old” things. Unfortunately, next week you will probably find another detail in the pile.

Virgo (Aug 22--Sep. 22) : This is not the time to make final decisions on the subjects of home, property, and family. You are likely to change your mind very soon. Be with those issues for a few weeks.

Libra (Sep. 23--Oct. 22) This is not the best of weeks for personal relationships. Someone may surprise you by making a 180 turn. Previous agreements may be broken or severely strained. Scorpio (Oct. 23--Nov. 21) :

It is seriously important for you to hang onto your center at this time. A relationship situation could undermine your fresh resolve. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 --Dec. 20) :

Take your time on making decisions now. Almost as soon as you do, you will change your mind and think better of it. Use this time to gather more research. Capricorn ( Dec 21 -- Jan 19) :

Intensity in relationships is the theme of the week. If you are not conscious, you could be pulled into schemes of manipulation or compulsive behaviors.

Aquarius (Jan. 20--Feb. 17) : You may find that you will have to go back to the beginning of a project begun in Aug. You need a license, a certification, or some other legalistic object in order to proceed.

Pisces (Feb. 18--Mar. 19) : Monitor your inner critic this week. It may be serving up a plate of neurotic guilt to interfere with your attitude. A better use of this energy calls for rising above the yada, yada of the droning voice. Focus elsewhere.
