Navratri is a nine-day festival that is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion in India. The word Navratri is derived from two words, ‘Nav’ which means ‘nine’, and ‘Ratri’ which means ‘night’. It is observed twice a year, once in the spring (Chaitra Navratri) and then in the autumn (Sharad Navratri). This festival is dedicated to the worship of the divine feminine, the goddess Durga, and her various incarnations.
During Navratri, people across India fast, pray and perform various rituals to honor the goddess. The festival begins with the worship of Maa Shailputri, the first form of Durga, and is followed by the worship of Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Katyayani, Kalratri, Mahagauri, and finally, Siddhidatri.
Each day of Navratri has its own significance and rituals. People clean their houses, decorate them with flowers and lights, and wear new clothes. In many regions of India, people also perform Garba and Dandiya Raas, which are traditional folk dances that are performed in circles. The dancers move in a circular motion, clapping their hands and hitting sticks in time with the music.
One of the most important aspects of Navratri is fasting. People abstain from food and some even from water during the day, and then break their fast in the evening with a special meal. The fast is observed to purify the body and mind and show devotion to the goddess.
Another important part of Navratri is the puja, or prayer ceremony. During the puja, devotees offer flowers, fruits, and other items to the goddess and seek her blessings. Special mantras and hymns are recited during the ceremony to honor the goddess.
Navratri is a time to celebrate the triumph of good over evil and to seek the blessings of the divine feminine. It is a festival that unites people of all ages and backgrounds and brings them together to celebrate the power and grace of the goddess. May the blessings of the divine mother be with you always. Jai Mata Di!

Mental health is an integral part of our overall well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and behave in our daily lives. Good mental health enables us to cope with the stressors of life, form healthy relationships, and lead fulfilling lives. On the other hand, poor mental health can lead to a range of problems, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.
Despite its importance, mental health is often overlooked, stigmatized, or ignored. Many people feel ashamed or embarrassed to seek help when they’re struggling with mental health issues. This is a significant problem, as untreated mental health problems can worsen over time and have serious consequences.
So, what can we do to take care of our mental health? Here are some tips:
1. Prioritize self-care: Self-care is essential for good mental health. This means taking time for yourself to do things you enjoy, like reading, exercising, or spending time with friends and family. It also means taking care of your physical health by eating well, getting enough sleep, and avoiding harmful substances.
2. Seek support: It’s okay to ask for help when you’re struggling with mental health issues. You can talk to friends, family members, or a mental health professional. There are also many online resources available, like support groups and hotlines.
3. Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is a practice that involves being present in the moment and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
4. Reduce stress: Stress is a common trigger for mental health problems. To reduce stress, try relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. You can also try to simplify your life by saying no to commitments that don’t serve you and delegating tasks when possible.
5. Stay connected: Social support is crucial for good mental health. Stay connected with friends and family members, even if it’s just through a phone call or text message.
Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health. Taking care of your mental health is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. By prioritizing self-care, seeking support, practicing mindfulness, reducing stress, and staying connected, you can improve your mental health and lead a happier, healthier life.
Union Budget 2023 Key Highlights: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2023-24 on February 1 which had a greater emphasis on the rural sector, social sector schemes, infrastructure creation, and the middle class.

The middle class has been given some relief in terms of tweaks in the new income tax regime clearly pointing out that the government wants a shift towards the new regime from the older one. The FM stuck to the fiscal deficit roadmap in the Budget with a target of 5.9% in FY 24 and adhering to the target for the current year.

A few years ago there was a conference in the United States on investment and finance. One of the speakers was Elon Musk and during the question and answer session, he was asked a question that had everyone laughing.
If he, the richest man in the world, could accept that his daughter marry a poor or modest man.
His answer can change something in everyone.
Elon Musk – First of all, understand that Wealth does not mean having a fat bank account. Wealth is primarily the ability to create wealth. Example: Someone who wins the lottery or gambling. Even if he wins 100 millions is not a rich man: He is a poor man with a lot of money. That’s the reason why 90% of the lottery millionaires become poor again after 5 years.
You also have rich people who have no money. Example: Most entrepreneurs. THEY are already on the road to wealth even though they have no money, because they are developing their financial intelligence and that is wealth.
How are the rich and the poor different?
To put it simply: The rich may die to become rich, while the poor may kill to become rich.
If you see a young person who decides to train, to learn new things, who tries to improve himself constantly, know that he is a rich man.
If you see a young person who thinks that the problem is the state, and who thinks that the rich are all thieves and who criticizes constantly, know that he is a poor man.
The rich are convinced that they just need information and training to take off, the poor think that others must give them money to take off.
In conclusion, when I say that my daughter will not marry a poor man, I am not talking about money. I’m talking about the ability to create wealth in that man.
Excuse me for saying this, but most criminals are poor people. When they are in front of money, they lose their mind, that’s why they rob, steal etc… For them it is a grace because they don’t know how they could earn money by themselves.
One day, the guard of a bank found a bag full of money, he took the bag and went to give it to the bank manager.
People called this man an idiot, but in reality this man was just a rich man who had no money.
One year later, the bank offered him a job as a receptionist, 3 years later he was a customer manager and 10 years later he manages the regional management of this bank, he manages hundreds of employees and his annual bonus exceeds the amount he could have stolen.
“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.”
Students are under a lot of pressure – pressure to perform academically, pressure to be popular, pressure to ultimately, make a good life. The one thread that touches upon all these is the choice of one’s career. It is a decision that is often taken under parental or societal duress. However, one must seek proper career counseling and guidance to make the right decision. Career counseling is really beneficial for students, and there are many reasons it is imperative:
Spot an Aptitude: Career counseling helps a student realize true aptitude. While at a junior level, most students perform evenly across subjects. Aptitude tests, conducted by counselors, bring out clearly the strong intellectual areas of a particular student. This empowers the student to make an informed decision when choosing future studies and making career choices.
An Objective Guide: Many times, students grow up with preconceived notions – “I must become a doctor, since my father is one”. Good counseling can quell these notions, and help the student view himself for the individual that he really is. After all, the doctor’s son can actually be more suited to, and more interested in, being a musician!
Evade Confusion: Often, students haven’t developed a clear idea of what they’d want to study by the time they’re due to make those choices. This isn’t necessarily due to any lack of interest; one is simply too young. Seeking career counseling leads to clarity of thought in a student, helps to identify interests, pick the appropriate subjects, and finally, make the choice of the right career.
Career Relation to Education: It is also likely that a student has decided on a particular career, but is not sure of how to qualify for it academically. Seeking counseling helps to put things in proper perspective – the student chooses the right higher education for the chosen career, and likewise, is able to land safely on the career track, due the interest, motivational factors and the chosen stream of education.
What’s Out There: Perhaps the most important facet of career counseling is to simply know what career options abound today. Say, a student has great flair for writing. It is important that the student or individual is well informed about the prospects of taking writing as a career. Lack of information on the will let the individual or student abandon his talent and intellect.
Sadly, career counseling is often overlooked by students, institutions and parents alike. It is a mistake that can prove costly, for it is sound counseling that leads to well-informed, correct career decisions!

Suresh (from Seekar, Rajasthan) runs from Rajasthan to Delhi to inspire Army aspirants
Recruitment rallies have not been organized in the Army in the last two years due to the Corona epidemic. Yes and there is a lot of resentment among the youth of Rajasthan regarding this matter. Churu, Jhunjhunu, Sikar and Nagaur districts have been affected the most by stopping the recruitment process here. Let us tell you that now from campaigning on social media to picketing demonstrations are being organized to start recruitment in these districts. Amidst all this, Nagaur resident Suresh Bhichar has done a shocking job to attract the attention of the government to this issue. Yes, Suresh has completed the journey from Sikar to Delhi by running. According to the information received, Suresh, who left the district stadium of Sikar at 9 pm on 29 March, reached Delhi at 6 pm on 2 April.
After reaching here, he submitted a memorandum to the MP Hanuman Beniwal. Let us tell you that Suresh completed the journey of 300 kilometers in a total of fifty hours. After completing the journey, Suresh told that he had set a target of completing the 6 km run in one hour. Yes and there were three more friends for patrolling with him in the journey. Apart from this, he also said that during this time he ate food in the hotel only for one day, the rest was arranged by the youth preparing for the job in the army in different areas. Let us tell you that Suresh is taking training from a defense academy in Sikar. Yes and he wants to join the army from the year 2015 but for some reason his dream could not be fulfilled.
Let us tell you that the discussions of Suresh’s sprint race are held in the surrounding districts. He made a record in the army recruitment held in Nagaur in the year 2018 by completing 1600 meters race in 4 minutes and 4 seconds. Recently, Suresh told that, under the pre-determined program, a program of demonstration was organized in Jantar Mantar on April 5 regarding this matter, but before that, some youths of Rajasthan, angry with the postponement of recruitment, had also burnt the effigy of the government. On the other hand, Minister of State for Defense Ajay Bhatt said in the Rajya Sabha in response to supplementary questions during the Question Hour that ‘the recruitment process in the Indian Army in 2020 and 2021 has been postponed due to the Corona epidemic and no stay has been put on it. ‘ Apart from this, he also said, ‘The outbreak of corona has reduced, but is not over. Despite this, keeping in mind the circumstances, the online recruitment process in Air Force and Navy continued and personnel have been recruited
When Aditya Birla was incharge of Hindalco, one of his senior executives made a blunder that cost the company over Rs.10 Crores.
Several top executives thought Aditya Birla would come down heavily on this guy and probably fire him from job. But he didn’t.
Before he called the man in, he sat down, took a notepad and wrote across the top of it: ‘Points in favor of this man’.
Then he listed the man’s strengths, including how he’d once helped the company make the right decision and earn them millions of dollars.
One of the senior executives who witnessed this AB’s philosophy, later said, ‘Whenever I am tempted to rip into someone, I force myself to sit down and compile a list of the good qualities they have. By the time I have finished, I have the right perspective.
And best of all, my anger is under control.
I can’t tell you how many times this habit has prevented me from committing one of life’s costliest mistakes-losing my temper.
I recommend it to anyone who deals with people regularly.
So before you jump to conclusions about someone, stop, sit down & make a list of person’s best qualities.
If you do..you may come to a different conclusion. One thing is for sure, you’ll approach the person with the right attitude.. and may be won’t say things you’ll later regret !!

Before we congratulate ourselves, and thank our doctors, our nursing staff , other medical fraternity, vaccine manufacturers, corporates and democratically elected government….. Let’s spare a look for what some of our detractors have been telling us for last 12 months…
Here’s what pseudo liberal coterie said about India’s vaccination attempts.. 🤭
Chetan Bhagat – India cannot vaccinate it’s population before 2024. We will have to bet other rich countries for vaccines and will only get leftovers..
TMC leader and Ex- Prasar Bharti ceo (cong appointed) Jawahar Sarkar – India will take 100 months (8+ years) to vaccinate 100 crore.
Rohini Singh ( of WIRE) – India is doing nothing for vaccines, only trying to save cows.
Swati Chaturvedi (troll and dynasty worshipper) – Rahul Gandhi has rightly said that it will take many years for India to get vaccines and vaccinate it’s people.
Congress twitter -India’s vaccination is very slow. IT will take 12 yrs and 6 months to vaccinate 70% people.
Aam Aadmi party ( on twitter) It will take 15 yrs to vaccinate India .
Surya Pratap Singh ( first babu to be relieved from duty due to incompetence) – vaccines are jumla. It will take 7 years to free people from corona.
India Today ( headed by pro Congress Arun Poorie) – it will take 12 yrs to vaccinate Indians.
Business Today – it will take 10.8 years to vaccinate 70% India.
The Hindu ( actually anti hindu ) -India will achieve only 15% of its vaccination target.
British Broadcasting Corporation – India doesn’t have vaccines to vaccinate it’s population.
VOX- ( leftist newsletter) – India cannot vaccinate it’s way out of corona…
Actually these people were right … Because for almost 70 years they had seen India as third world country with below par medical services, average track record of efficiency, high level of corruption and bureaucracy everywhere including government and health sector.
Because they mocked us, we became strong, because they laughed at us , we decided to fight back Because they told us that we can never DO IT… We went ahead and did it. Because they said Indians lack fighting spirit, We FOUGHT BACK.
On Behalf of crores of Indians, I would like to thank all these negativity spreaders, all these doubters and opposition who made our resolve stronger, all those who through their sarcasm and taunts , United crores of Indians in our resolve to prove all them wrong, all these people who mocked us, laughed at us , tried to shame us as a third world country but ended up making each Indian aware of the vaccination efforts by our Medical and corporate fraternity.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday thanked the whole nation for making the mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign a “super success” a day after India reached the historic milestone of vaccinating more than 100 crore people.
“On 21st October, India accomplished the target of 1 billion COVID-19 vaccinations. This achievement belongs to every individual in the country
After the announcement, several world leaders congratulated India on this achievement.PM Modi on Thursday expressed gratitude towards COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, healthcare workers and all others involved in the vaccination drive.
“It is a matter of pride for us that India’s vaccination programme has been science-born, science-driven and science-based,” From the development of vaccines to inoculation, science and science-based approach has been involved in all processes, he asserted. Taking everyone along, the country started the campaign of ‘Sabko Vaccine, Muft Vaccine’.
Owing to this huge achievement, the students, faculty, staff and Director of LPT, Prayagraj decided to celebrate it by cake cutting ceremony wherein everyone wished for a healthy and pandemic free life.
The NDA Government under PM Narendra Modi Govt has created a robust ecosystem to realise their full capabilities
🔵 Strengthening education system
🟢 Boosting startups
🟡 Creating job opportunities
India’s youth have been the biggest ambassadors of the country’s talent and potential. Their aspirations have driven the country to reach new heights. The last 7 years of Modi government have focused on clearing the path of India’s youth as they navigate through opportunities across fields. From education to empowerment, from start-ups to sports, an ecosystem has been taking shape for them to achieve their true potential.
Today’s world is changing at an unprecedented speed. Each day, we are faced with new challenges, some of which do not have any precedence in history. In such a scenario, an outdated education system could be detrimental for the future of our youth. The new National Education Policy 2020, introduced after 34 years, makes education a dynamic process. It focuses on new age skills as well as provides enough room for students to learn at their own pace. The policy prepares youth to be solution-oriented, agile and mentally equipped to handle real-life situations or be able to operate, even, in an unfamiliar environment.
The New Education Policy is aimed at ensuring universal access to quality education at all levels of schooling. It introduces modification in pedagogical structure as per global best practices. It makes multidisciplinary learning the fulcrum of the education system. No longer would children have to choose between science and arts or maths and sports. The entire field is open to them to explore their inner potential and expand their interests. The NEP 2020 also promotes learning in mother tongue making education more accessible and multilingual.
In higher education too, the NEP, has brought in qualitative changes, providing more options for youngsters to choose their own path. The multiple exit and entry option makes their journey risk averse and more unique.
It is not only in education, where the youth are getting an opportunity to explore possibilities and express themselves. The ever-expanding start-up ecosystem is helping the youth grow and providing resources and the right platform to be part of the solution. Earlier, starting one’s own business would be looked upon as an incredibly risky affair. Parents would discourage their children from starting something of their own.
But today the situation has turned around. India has emerged as one of the largest start-up ecosystems in the world. Parents today feel proud to say that their children are entrepreneurs. This confidence has risen because the government is enabling start-ups at every level. Today, India houses 38 Unicorn start-ups, i.e. those valued at over $1 billion. In 2020, 12 start-ups joined the Unicorn club. In 2021, 9 more were added in the first four months. Till May 2021, India has 47,000 start-ups recognized by the government.
The aim is to reach 50,000 new start-ups by 2024. For that, a fund of funds has been set up with a corpus of Rs. 10,000 crore. The government has also launched Rs 1,000-crore seed fund for startups aimed at helping start-ups with initial capital for growth and operations.
Sky’s the Limit for India’s Youth

The start-up culture has become synonymous with new age thinking, innovation and job creation. With the government opening the space sector for private participation, a fillip has been given to start-ups. As per Economic Survey 2020-21, more than 40 Indian start-ups are working in the space sector.
Modi government is focused on bringing the best technology to India’s shores and making India a hub of innovation. Today, India has one of the lowest corporate taxes in the world. The government has opened up even the strategic sectors for private investment. Our youth can now look gain from sectors like defense, space, coal, mineral, agriculture. In order to encourage investment in start-ups, capital gains exemption has been extended. The government has also extended eligibility for claiming tax holiday for start-ups.
The world is looking to invest in India’s youth. This can be seen from the fact that year after year India is setting new records in FDI. In 2020-21, India’s FDI grew to a record high of $81.72 billion, even amidst the pandemic.
The Production Linked Incentive Schemes launched across 13 sectors, including pharmaceuticals, textiles and specialty steel among others are investments of the government that pay off in massive job creation, as is being seen in the electronics sector already. Acknowledging its transformative potential, Budget 2021 has also reiterated the government’s commitment of ₹1.97 lakh crore to PLI schemes for the next five years. This will not only expand India’s manufacturing base but also employ lakhs of youth.
Infrastructure is another area that has been creating jobs, both directly and indirectly in affiliate sectors. With the work ongoing on 15 metro and rail connectivity projects across the country including Pune, Kochi, Surat, Kanpur and Agra, and the 38,685 km highways built under the Bharatmala initiative, livelihood opportunities have been generated across the board. It is to be remembered that infrastructure creation is especially job intensive since it does not only create direct jobs but also creates a ripple effect in allied sectors that feed into it.
Job creation does not however restrict itself to these efforts. Just looking at the MUDRA scheme, under which ₹15 lakh crore of loans have been sanctioned to date, one sees how small scale entrepreneurship generates opportunities for both job creators and job seekers. With nearly 11 crore accounts added in the last two years alone, one can easily visualize the ground scale changes taking place.
Some of these changes in the jobs scenario are also captured well in the EPFO data, which can indicate the trend in creation of formal jobs. In the last two years, net additions to the EPFO have touched 1.55 crore, evidence that more and more people are being employed with appropriate social security nets that fulfil their requirements.
Our youth should get the best education, the best opportunities and expansive global exposure. Today, our youth are participating in nation building like never before. The Smart India Hackathons have shown how well they know the nation’s problems. They are coming up with innovative, cost-effective solutions in areas of waste management, healthcare, communication, renewable energy, food processing, artificial intelligence and what not.
India’s youth will be the force multiplier in fulfilling the vision of New India.
“Simply, everything you do creates either a positive or negative consequence,”
Everything is energy, including your thoughts and emotions, which are energy in motion. So, in essence, everything you do creates a corresponding energy that comes back to you in some form.
Using karma as a set of powerful guidelines for your life can incentivize you to be more mindful of your thoughts, actions, and deeds before you make decisions.
With that in mind, think of the laws of karma as guidelines to follow as you go through daily life. The 12 laws of karma can help you understand how karma really works and how to create good karma in your life. Let’s look at each of these laws in more detail.
When most people talk about karma, they’re likely referring to the great law of cause and effect. According to this law, whatever thoughts or energy you put out, you get back — good or bad. In order to get what you want, you have to embody and be worthy of those things. It’s the concept of what you reap, you sow. “For example, if you want love in your life, be loving to yourself,”
The law of creation underscores the importance that life doesn’t just happen to us. To make things happen in your life, you need to take action, instead of waiting for something to magically come your way. “You are the co-creator of making what you want, based on your intentions,” Also consider how you can use your skills, talents, and strengths to create something that not only benefits you but others, too
Creator of The Daily Meditation, the law of humility is based on the principle that you must be humble enough to accept that your current reality is the result of your past actions. For example, if you’re blaming your colleagues for your poor performance at work, Harrison says you must accept that you created this reality by not performing as well as you could have.
Growth starts within us. To positively shape the world, you need to start with yourself. That’s because real change or personal growth begins with what you have control over, which is yourself, not others. The law of growth also looks at the things you can’t control and how you deal with accepting this fate. Ultimately, your focus should be on you, not trying to control the people or things around you.
Alex Tran, a yoga instructor based in Seattle, Washington, says the law of responsibility is her favorite law to teach in class. “It’s a reminder that you own what happens to you in life. It’s a great reminder that what happens to you is because of you. This eliminates the opportunity for you to look outward to find the cause of your problems,” Tran explains. She likes to use this to describe the karma law of responsibility: “You are the product of the choices you make.”
Focusing on too many things at once can slow you down and lead to frustration and negativity. That’s why the law of focus encourages you to concentrate on one thing at a time. “If you focus on higher values like love and peace, then you’re less likely to be distracted by heavy feelings of resentment, greed, or anger,” Patel says.
To experience peace of mind, you have to embrace the present. This can only happen when you let go of negative thoughts or behaviors from your past. If you get too focused on past events, you’ll keep reliving them. One exercise Patel recommends to get in touch with the here and now is to get rooted into your senses. “Look around the room you are in, focus your eyes on something, blink, and say ‘I am here,’” she says.
According to this principle, history will continue to repeat itself until you learn from the experience and take steps to do something differently to stop the cycle. Change gives you a new path so that you can create a new future and a better version of yourself, free from the patterns of the past.
आज महफूज़ रहे तो कल मिल के खिलखिलाएँगे, गले भी मिलेगे और हाथ भी मिलाएंगे।।
आज सलामत रहे तो कल की सहर देखेंगे आज पहरे मे रहे तो कल का पहर देखेंगें । सासों के चलने के लिए कदमों का रुकना ज़रूरी है घरों मेँ बंद रहना दोस्तों हालात की मजबूरी है । अब भी न संभले तो बहुत पछताएंगे सूखे पत्तों की तरह हालात की आंधी मे बिखर जाएंगे । यह जंग मेरी या तेरी नहीं हम सब की है इस की जीत या हार भी हम सब की है । अपने लिए नहीं अपनों के लिए जीना है यह जुदाई का ज़हर दोस्तो घूंट घूंट पीना है । आज महफूज़ रहे तो कल मिल के खिलखिलाएँगे गले भी मिलेगे और हाथ भी मिलाएंगे।।।
National Press Day is observed on November 16 every year in India. This day is dedicated to acknowledge and honour the Press Council of India, a statutory and quasi-judicial establishment that is responsible for keeping an eye on the quality of reportage provided by the Indian Press community. It is symbolic of freedom of press in the country and acts as a “moral” watchdog to ensure that journalistic objectivity is not compromised or harmed by external factors.
The First Press Commission 1956 envisioned a committee to protect the ethics of journalism and freedom of Press in India. The Commission led to the forming of a ‘Press Council’ nearly 10 years later, which started monitoring media groups from November 16, 1966.
The Press Council of India started functioning on November 16, 1966. JusticeChandramauli KumarPrasad is the Chairman of the PressCouncil of India. He has been appointed for a second term.
