Kondalampatti 

Hamlet of 

handloom silks 

WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016

The process of manufacturing a Kondalampatti 

handloom Saree starts with dyeing the silk yarn. 

Dyeing is the coloring process of the yarn by 

dipping the yarn in the boiling colour water in 

very high temperature. 

The durability of colour will be 

high, when it is done in high 

temperature. Dyeing of the yarn is 

done by making sure that the color 

is spread uniformly throughout 

the yarn and it does not affect the 

quality of the yarn. The coloring 

process is a very crucial step in 

getting a good colourful saree. 

The colours are applied as per the 

specifications of the designers. 

Some times customers who orders 

for a designer Saree also used 

to give their preferences. After 

coloring the silk yarn is dried in 

shade. Drying yarn in sun can be 

harmful. 

Weaving 

The yarn is converted to thread 

by a charka and is loaded as warp 

which is called pavvu. It is then 

loaded into the loom for actual 

weaving. It is rolled over small 

sticks to use for weaving weft. 

One pavvu can make 6 sarees. It 

will take approximately 2 months 

to complete the weaving of one 

pavvu. Kondalampatti handloom 

sarees are traditionally woven in 

the interlocked-weft technique. 

Design 

The design required on the saree 

is initially drawn in a computer 

and then punched into a card 

and these cards are loaded in the 

Jacard in the loom. Jacard is a 

box like structure which is fixed in 

the top of the loom. There will be 

needles in the Jacard which will 

read the punched cards and control 

the weaving of weft and weave 

according to the design.

INDIAN DIASPORA TRADITION 

12 


TATTOOING 

an integral part of the lifestyle of 

BAIGAS 

Baiga is a tribe found in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, 

Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand states of India. The largest 

number of Baigas are found in Baiga-chuk in Mandla 

district and Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh. Their 

sub-castes are Bijhwar, Narotia, Bharotiya, Nahar, Rai 

Bhaina, and Kadh Bhaina. 

The Baiga tribes practice 

shifting cultivation in forest 

areas. They say that they 

never plough the Earth, 

because it would be akin 

to scratching the breast of 

their Mother and they could 

never ask their Mother to 

produce food from the same 

patch of earth time and time 

again. 

Baigas used to live a 

semi-nomadic life and 

practiced Bewar, or 

‘dahiya’ cultivation, out of 

respect, not aggression. 

These techniques, rather 

than being a cause of 

deforestation, have been 

shown to be effective 

conservation devices, 

employed for centuries by 

tribal peoples. Courageous 

woodsman and hunters, 

the Baigas of Central 

India were reluctant to do 

work for others. They saw 

themselves as people of the 

forest, who could only live 

on the produce of the forest. 

It was below the dignity of a 

Baiga to become a labourer. 

Baigas do not interact, even 

with other tribals like the 

Gonds, as interaction with 

any other tribe is a crime 

for them. After a death in 

the family, the Baigas leave 

the house and build another 

one. Tattooing is an integral

part of their lifestyle. This 

tribe inhabits in the dense 

hilly forests in the eastern 

part of the Satpuras, 

in Shahdol, Bilaspur, 

Rajnandgaon, Mandla, 

and Balaghat districts. The 

Baigas are of Dravidian 

stock and are one of the 

eight prime tribes of M.P. 

It is believed that this tribe 

is an offshoot of the Bhuiya 

tribe of Chhota Nagpur. A 

distinguishing feature of 

the Baiga tribe is that their 

women are famous for 

sporting tattoos of various 

kinds on almost all parts of 

their body. The women who 

work as tattooing artists 

belong to the Ojha, Badni 

and Dewar tribes of M.P., 

and are called Godharins. 

They are extremely 

knowledgeable about the 

different types of tattoos 

preferred by various tribes. 

Their mothers traditionally 

pass on this knowledge to 

them. Tattooing amongst 

the tribals commences with 

the approach of winter and 

continues until summer. 

recognized as a variety of 

Chhattisgarhi influenced by 

Gondi and Western Hindi. 

Most Baigas communicate 

with outsiders in Hindi and 

some of them also knows 

a few local languages like 

Gondi or Marathi depending 

on the region they live in. 

Baigas eat coarse grain, 

kodo and kutki, drink pej, 

eat little flour. One of the 

prime foods is pej that can 

be made from grounding 

macca or from the water left 

from boiling rice. This food 

is much better and healthier 

than many other food that 

they eat. They eat several 

items from the forest that 

includes primarily Chirota 

Bhaji, Gular leaves such as 

Chirota, chinch, chakora, 

sarroota, peepal etc. 

They also eat BirarKand, 

Kadukand and other 

rhizomes. Mushroom is 

also a delicacy. Numerous 

fruits such as mango, char, 

jamun, tendu are also 

eaten. They hunt as well, 

primarily fish and small 

mammals. 

The ancestors of the Baigas 

spoke an Austroasiatic 

language, however no 

trace of it is left now. Some 

Baigas have mentioned 

“Baigani” as their mother 

tongue. Baigani is now

INDIAN DIASPORA CULTURE 

16 

Shauka 

Tribe with rich cultural 

Heritage 

The Shaukas live in the Johar Valley of Goriganga river 

in Munsyari Tehsil of the Pithoragarh district and are 

also known as Johari or Johari Shauka. They are part of 

the larger Uttarakhand ethno-linguistic group and one of 

the few of Uttarakhand tribes that shows a rich cultural 

heritage and adhere to the Caste system. 


Shaukas are the followers 

of Hinduism and rely on the 

Hindu Brahmins to conduct 

religious ceremonies. Their 

main deity is Goddess 

Nanda Devi in Martoli 

and Milam. Common 

Shauka surnames are 

Jangpangi, Dharamsaktu, 

Pangtey, Tolia, Martolia, 

Panchpal,Burfal, Brijwal, 

Rawat,Sumtyal etc. 

The famous legendary love 

story of Rajuli - Malusahi 

relates to Rajuli, daughter 

of Sunpati Shauka (A local 

lord / king of Johar) and 

Malusahi, scion of one of the 

branches of Katyuri Kings 

based out of Bairath near 

Dwarahat. 

Shaukas celbrate number 

of fairs and festivals that 

take place in and around 

Munsyari during the months 

of August and September. 

Shaukas celebrate the 

festival of Nanda Ashtami 

(in honour of the goddess 

‘Nanda Devi’) in mid- 

September with great 

devotion and fanfare. 

Shaukas were legendary 

traders of the Kumaon 

Himalayas and had long 

Trans-Himalayan trade 

partnerships with the 

nomadic Tibetan Khampas 

and Dokpas over the 

generations, until China 

invaded Tibet and the 

Shaukas are progressive and 

outward bound people, yet following 

their traditional culture and values. 

subsequent Sino-Indian War 

in 1962. 

Traditionally, the Shaukas 

lived a semi-nomadic life, 

travelling with their large 

flocks of goats, sheeps 

and ponies from the trade 

posts of Gyanima and 

Gangtok in Tibet, across 

the innumerable ridges and 

valleys of Kumaon into the 

Gangetic plains. 

Shaukas have a unique and 

rich culture. They belong to 

the Kshatriya (Rajput) Varna 

and strictly follow the Hindu 

caste system. The society 

of Shaukas is patriarchal 

and divided into many subcastes 

or sub-groups, known 

as ‘Garkha’. The customs 

““ 

and laws of the society 

(e.g. marriage, family, 

succession, property, etc.) 

are same as in any other 

Hindu society. Some cultural 

and religious aspects of 

the Shauka society have 

influences of the Kumaoni 

and Tibetan people. 

Shaukas are progressive 

and outward bound people, 

yet following their traditional 

culture and values. Today, 

the ambitious and hard 

working people of this small 

hill tribe are leading in all 

fields (e.g. mountaineering, 

engineering, medicine, 

academics, administration, 

etc.) in India and Abroad. 


COVER STORY 

UJJAIN 

Kumbh mela 

congregation for salvation 

18 

The Simhastha Kumbh is an unrivalled celebration. 

Kumbh Mela, is held AT Haridwar, Prayag 

(Allahabad), Nashik and Ujjain once every 

twelve years and attracts millions of devotees. 

The Ujjain Kumbh is celebrated when Jupiter 

ascends into sun sign Leo’s quarter or the Simha 

constellation of zodiac, which is why it is 

called ‘Simhastha’. 



COVER STORY 

The Simhastha is special 

in Ujjain as it is the seat of 

divine Mahakal - the Lord 

of all times. The ritual of 

bathing in the holy waters 

of Kshipra begins on the 

full moon day of the Hindu 

month of Chaitra (March- 

April) and continues on 

various dates until the 

full moon shows up in 

the following month of 

Vaishakha.

“Simhasth Kumbh 

Mahaparv” is one of the four 

“Kumbh Melas” celebrated 

by largest spiritual gathering. 

Simhasth Kumbh Mahaparv 

is rejoiced by holy dip in 

the sacred river Kshipra in 

ancient and religious city 

Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh). 

Simhasth Kumbh Maha 

Parva is based on the 

celestial line-up of Planets 

and the Signs of the Zodiac, 

which occurs every 12 

years. Kumbh Mahaparv 

is held at four places in 

India – Haridwar, Prayag 

(Allahabad), Ujjain and 

Nasik. 

Simhasth Kumbh Mahaparv 

derives its name from 

the ‘Pot of immortality’ or 

‘Amrit Kund’ as it is known 

in the Hindu mythology. 

Amrit Kund is mentioned in 

scriptures like Bhagavata 

Purana, Vishnu Purana, 

The Mahabharata, and The 

Ramayana. It is believed 


“Simhasth Kumbh Mahaparv” is one of

that during ‘Samundra 

Manthan’ , a pot of nectar 

was found. The most 

popular legend regarding 

the origin of Kumbh Melas 

is the Samudra Manthan 

or ‘churning of the ocean’. 

Gods and demons competed 

fiercely in the churning in 

search of the divine nectar 

of immortality. During this 

epic battle to capture the 

Urn (Kumbh) containing 

the nectar, drops of the 

precious liquid fell on four 

places – Haridwar, Prayag 

(Allahabad), Nashik and 

Ujjain. Hence , river Kshipra 

became the enhancer of life 

and to celebrate this event 

since then the grand festival 

came in vogue. 

Thousands of holy men 

and women attend this 

festival. Sadhus are seen 

clad in saffron robes with 

Vibhuti ashes smeared 

on their skin as per the 

requirements of ancient 

traditions. Some, called naga 

sanyasis, may not wear 

any cloth even in severe 

winter. It is considered a 

sign of separation from the 

materialistic world. 

During Simhasth, various 

events will be organised 

by Akharas, Sadhu Santa 

( Bhagwat Katha, Ram 

Katha, Bhajan, Havan, 

Sunderkand, Pujan, Yoga

STORY FOR KIDS 

22 

Whole universe within 

Little 

Krishna 


One day krishna was playing with his friends 

in the courtyard of the house. Yasoda was busy 

cooking in the kitchen. Suddenly Balarama 

rushed to her and said, 

“Mother, Mother, Krishna has 

eaten mud.”Yasoda did not 

believe him. 

But the other friends also 

said, 

“Yes, mother, he ate in front 

of all of us even though we 

forbade him”. 

Yasoda was irritated by 

Krishna’s new prank. Her 

house had every kind of 

sweets. Why then should the 

restless boy eat mud? She 

rushed to Krishna, caught 

hold of him. 

She said: “You mischievous 

fellow! Why did you eat 

mud? Your friends and even 

Balarama say so.” 

But child Krishna protested. 

“Mother” he said, “I have not 

eaten any mud. They are all 

liars. If you want, look into 

my mouth.” 

“All right, open your mouth. 

Let me look into it,” said 

Yasoda. 

Challenged by his mother, 

Krishna, opened his mouth. 

Ah! What did mother 

Yasoda see in his mouth! 

Inside her son’s mouth, she 

saw the whole universe. 

There was the whole earth, 

heaven, sun, moon, stars 

and everything else! All the 

gods and goddesses were 

there. There was also a 

strange light in the mouth. 

She saw the whole Gokula 

too inside the mouth. She 

saw also herself sitting inside 

his mouth and examining the 

open mouth of her darling 

boy. She could not believe 

that within the mouth of 

her son such things could 

appear. Yet she was seeing 

them! She was struck with 

fear and wonder. 

She pondered, “I am not 

dreaming, my eyes are open. 

I am actually seeing what is 

happening before. So this 

vision must be due to some 

divine power of my son, as 

predicted by Gargamuni.” 

She surrendered herself to 

the Lord and prayed to Him 

to protect her child. 

When we are beset by 

some problems for which we 

can find no solution, there 

is no alternative except to 

surrender to the Supreme 

Lord and offer Him our 

respectful obeisance. This 

was the means adopted by 

the intelligent Yasoda. Lord 

Krishna cast the spell of his 

Maya again on her and once 

more appeared like a small 

child to her eyes. As one 

forgets everything after a 

dream, Mother Yasoda too 

forgot the entire incident. 

As her natural feeling of 

affection was again roused, 

she took the child on her lap 

and fondled him.

HEALTHY LIVING 


Healthy habits 

leads to 

healthy living 

Healthy people are successful not 

because of good luck, birth order 

or family heritage, but because they 

have adopted the right habits. 

To become a successful 

person, you must adopt 

the habits of success. By 

emulating the habits of 

successful people, anyone 

can enjoy the life he or she 

desires. Learn the habits, 

adopt the habits, practice the 

habits and enjoy the success. 

The majority of the healthy 

people say that they eat 

virtually the same meals 

every day, mostly the same 

breakfast, same lunch, same 

dinner. They did not suggest 

that they eat exactly the same 

for every meal, but they often 

chose from three, maybe 

four things that they like for 

breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

Eating small meals more 

often reduces cortisol levels, 

research suggests. When you 

eat small, frequent meals, 

the body becomes efficient 

at keeping cortisol levels 

low, which helps both men 

and women reduce belly fat. 

Guided by their nutritional 

needs and deeply rooted 

habit to eat small meals 

throughout the day, the 

superfit stand steadfast. 

Successful healthy people 

tend to eat mainly whole, 

unprocessed foods, including 

fruits, veggies and whole 

grains. Whole, natural foods 

like apples, steel-cut oatmeal, 

broccoli, salads, brown rice 

are what food researchers 

call low-density foods. They 

contain lots of fiber, which 

satisfies hunger with few 

calories. High-density foods 

are the opposite, they are 

things like butter, oils, candy 

or ice cream. 

Try to know, every food’s 

calories and approximate 

protein, carbohydrate and fat 

content. This skill helps in 

making better food choices on 

a moment’s notice. If you look 

into a successfully healthy 

person’s fridge, pantry, or 

cupboards, you won’t be able 

to find cookies, crackers, 

chips, chocolate, full-fat ice 

cream, or soda. 

These simple habit if 

cultivated can help you in 

having a healthy living. Habits 

are what prompting one to 

have the choice of healthy 

food for a healthy life.

India, 

US to hold 

talks on working 

visa fee hike 

The commerce ministry has said that the increase in visa fees, 

sought to be justified by the Barack Obama administration 

as a revenue raising measure for better border control, gives 

other countries also the opportunity to raise money whenever 

the World Trade Organisation gives space to do so. 


The United States’ “revenue 

raising” move to double the 

fees for short-term H-1B and 

L-1visas will be countered 

during two-day consultations 

beginning in Washington on 

Wednesday. 

“If they are using it as a 

revenue resource raising 

measure, then it opens the 

Pandora’s box for us also to 

generate money whenever 

a difference exists between 

the WTO’s applied and 

bound rates,” a commerce 

department official said. 

“There is a general feeling 

that when everyone is talking 

of trade liberalisation, the US’ 

measure is trade restrictive. 

Industry feels that this has hit 

their operations,” the official 

said. 

The increase in H-1B and 

L-1 visa fee issue has been 

raised with the US at various 

levels including by the Prime 

Minister with the US President 

and recently by the Finance 

Minister with the US Trade 

Representative, Commerce 

and Industry Minister Nirmala 

Sitharaman said. 

In a letter to US Commerce 

Secretary Penny Pritzker 

and Deputy National 

Security Advisor Caroline 

Atkinson, the Commerce 

and Industry Ministry had 

said, “it was requested 

not to incorporate such 

discriminatory and punitive 

measures into legislations 

without due process of notice 

and comment, as it would 

seriously impede the on going 

efforts to take the India-US 

bilateral trade and investment 

relationship forward”. 

“India has also taken up the 

matter on US visa fee hike in 

the dispute settlement body of 

the WTO,” she said. 

With this legislation in place, 

50:50 companies would now 

need to pay an enhanced fee 

of $4500 for each L-1 visa 

and $4000 for each H-1B visa 

as compared to $2250 and 

$2000 previously. 


WORLD NEWS 

T“The President intends the 

visit to send a much more 

forward-looking signal about 

his ambition for realising 

the goals of a planet without 

nuclear weapons,” White 

House Press Secretary Josh 

Earnest said. 

32 

Barack Obama 

to call for 

Nuclear weapons 

free planet 

Obama the first American president to visit 

Hiroshima -– the site of the first nuclear attack by 

the US on Japan -– later this month will give a call 

for nuclear weapons-free planet. He will be the 

first sitting US president to tour the site where 

America first dropped an atomic bomb in 1945, 

killing an estimated 140,000 people. 

“If you would have imagined 

that one of our closest 

partners and allies in Asia 

was Japan just 70 years 

ago, it would have been very 

difficult to imagine, given 

the hostilities between our 

two countries. But yet that’s 

exactly what has occurred, 

based on a commitment 

of the leaders of our two 

countries to forge closer 

bonds. We’ve also seen 

deeper ties between our 

peoples. And even as we 

speak, there are thousands 

of US military service 

members who are stationed 

in Japan,” Earnest said. 

“All of this is a testament to 

the way that the US-Japan 

relationship has dramatically 

changed over the last 70 

years and the president is 

certainly interested in further 

marking the progression of 

that relationship by visiting 

Hiroshima,” he said. 

“The President will have 

an opportunity to visit the 

Peace Park, and offer up 


his own reflections about 

his visit to that city. The 

President certainly does 

understand the US bears 

a special responsibility. 

The US continues to be the 

only country to have used 

nuclear weapons. It means 

our country bears a special 

responsibility to lead the 

world in an effort to eliminate 

them. This goal of a nuclear 

weapons free world has been 

sought by both Democratic 

and Republican presidents. It 

is a goal that would make our 

country and our planet safer,” 

Earnest said. 

“President Obama has 

been a tireless leader in the 

global effort to prevent the 

spread of nuclear weapons, 

and I commend him and the 

Administration for their strong 

focus on this vital challenge 

for global peace and 

security,” Democratic Leader 

Nancy Pelosi said. 

“I commend President 

Obama’s decision to visit 

the Hiroshima Peace 

Memorial which serves as 

a poignant reminder of the 

devastating cost of nuclear 

warfare, especially on civilian 

communities,” Senator Mazie 

K Hirono said. 

“We applaud President 

Obama’s decision to 

visit Hiroshima, in part to 

recognise the innocent 

victims of war and in 

particular the experience 

and work of atomic bomb 

survivors of Hiroshima and 

Nagasaki — the hibakusha — 

who have worked tirelessly to 

remind the world why nuclear 

weapons must never be used 

again,” said Daryl G Kimball, 

executive director of the 

independent, non-partisan 

Arms Control Association. 

“It’s time for a US President 

to visit Hiroshima’s Peace 

Park in Japan to honour 

those who died during the 

atomic bombing and to 

affirm the goal of a nuclear 

weapons free world. At this 

point, it’s not enough to 

repeat the words Obama 

has said several times since 

his historic Prague speech 

calling for the abolishment 

of nuclear weapons. Obama 

“ 

must announce actions he 

will take in his remaining 

months as President that 

will actually bring the world 

closer to being free of nuclear 

weapons,” it said. 

“In a complex world of 

unsolved old problems and 

mounting new challenges, 

we have the vision and the 

ability to solve this one so 

that future generations might 

be spared from a nuclear 

attack. The President’s 

commemoration at Hiroshima 

will put this aspiration in stark 

relief,” Senator Ben Cardin 

said. 

It’s time for a US 

President to visit

400% surge in 

Indians’ average 

wealth in 10 years

Average wealth of an Indian has surged by 400 

percent in 10 years while that of an European 

citizen has declined by 5 percent during the 

period, says a report by New World Wealth. 

The report 

said that 

in the 

emerging 

markets 

such as 

India, China and Vietnam, 

average wealth has gone up 

by over 400 percent during 

the past 10-year period 

(2005-15). 

The average European 

citizen is currently worth 

around $86,000. This 

compares poorly to the other 

developed markets as the 

average wealth of a person 

in Australia has increased 

by over 100 per cent and in 

Canada by over 50 per cent 

in the same period. 

The study says that one of 

the major issues that has 

deterred the wealth creation 

in Europe is the migration 

of wealthy people out of 

Europe, mainly to countries 

such as USA, Canada, New 

Zealand, the Caribbean and 

Australia.

Sonia Gandhi 

named by Italian court in 

Augustawestland 

Chopper scam 

In its 225-page judgment, the Italian Court of 

Appeals addresses several conversations which 

took place among the three middlemen involved 

in the Augustawestland Chopper deal with India, 

Carlos Gerosa, Christian Michel and Guildo 

Haschke. 


INFOCUS 

These conversations have 

mentions of “Mrs Gandhi” 

being the “driving force 

behind the VIP”, and she 

and her “closest advisers” 

Ahmed Patel has to be 

“the aim of the British high 

commissioner” to target to 

materialise the deal. 

40 

In February 2010, the 

Congress-led UPA 

government had signed a 

contract with the UK-based 

helicopter manufacturing 

company AgustaWestland 

to purchase 12 AW101 

helicopters for the Indian 

Air Force for Rs 3,600 

crore. These choppers were 

supposed to be used for 

flying the President of India, 

the Prime Minister, and other 

such VVIPs. 

In February 2013, Italian 

police arrested Agusta 

Westland CEO Bruno 

Spagnolini and Guiseppe 

Orsi, chairman of 

AgustaWestland’s parent 

company Finmeccanica, on 

charges of paying bribes 

to win the VVIP chopper 

deal with the Indian Air 

Force. This led to the UPA 

government putting a hold on 

the deal. The then Defence 

Minister AK Antony ordered 

a CBI probe into the matter. 

In 2014, the UPA 

government cancelled the 

deal with AgustaWestland on 

grounds of the integrity pact 

being violated. Most of the 

money paid for the deal is 

said to have been recovered. 

Air Chief Marshal SP Tyagi, 

the former Indian Air Force 

chief, is being accused of 

having tweaked with the 

altitude requirements in 

favour of AgustaWestland 

winning the VVIP chopper 

deal. Prior to Tyagi 

becoming the Air Force 

chief, the IAF is said to 

have opposed purchasing 

AgustaWestland’s AW101 

as they were not capable of 

flying in high-altitude areas 

like Siachen and Tiger Hill. 

Tyagi “conceded to reduce” 

the altitude requirements

chopper deal.

FREEDOM FIGHTER 

42 

Woman 

power of 

Freedom Movement 

Pritilata Waddedar 


Pritilata Waddedar was the answer for the 

European club’s infamous board - “Dogs and 

Indians not allowed”. Pritilata Waddedar was born 

on 5th May 1911 in a much culturally advanced 

middle class family at Dhalghat Village in 

Chittagong. 

Pritilata Waddedar parents 

were Sri Jagabandhu 

Waddadar and Smt. Pratibha 

Waddadar who arranged for 

the best possible education 

for their daughter in Dr. 

Khastogir’s school directly 

in class III where she was 

awarded scholarship in class 

III which proved her genre 

and brillance. 

She passed Matriculation 

Examination, in 1928 and she 

got admitted in Eden College 

in Dhaka and she passed I. 

A. Examination. She came 

to Kolkata for her graduation 

in English and was admitted 

in famous Bethune College 

and came out successful 

in B. A. examination. After 

completion of her graduation 

she was appointed directly as 

the Headmistress of Aparna 

Charan Girls’ School in 

Chittagong (Chattogram). 

Pritilata had a keen desire 

to give her contribution for 

the freedom struggle and 

the destiny gave her the 

opportunity through her 

colleague Kalpana Dutta 

who has introduced Pritilata 

to the great revolutionary 

leader Surya Sen. Surya 

Sen was reluctant to include 

Pritilata in his group, but her 

determination to eliminate 

British supremacy was so 

firm, so that Surya Sen 

finally accepted Pritilata as 

the woman comrade and a 

member in his revolutionary 

group. 

Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi 

was a role model and an 

inspirational force for Pritilata 

to sacrifice her life for the 

liberation of motherland. It 

was Pritilata’s intelligence, 

strategy and efforts that 

helped Surya Sen and 

other members to attack 

the armoury raid, telegraph 

office, railway lines and make 

the uprising of Chittagong 

successful. 

To avenge the death of 

innocent teenage comrades 

in Jalalabad encounter, 

Surya Sen’s next strategy 

was to attack the Pahartali 

European club which had 

a board titled – Dogs and 

Indians are not allowed. 

Surya Sen selected Pritilata 

to lead this plan along with a 

team to attack the European 

club on September 23rd 

1932. Pritilata succeeded in 

attacking the European club, 

but in the bloody encounter, 

Pritilata was fatally wounded 

and there was no way to 

escape from the Britishers. 

Pritilata commanded her 

members to run away from 

the spot and preferred to 

sacrifice her life for her 

motherland. Pritilata ended 

her life by swallowing 

potassium cyanide and 

her martyrdom became a 

great motivation for several 

women to plunge in the 

freedom struggle. At the age 

of 21, Pritilata had given 

up her valuable life for our 

motherland. 


INDIAN YOGA

Kapal Bhati Pranayama 

(SKULL SHINING BREATHING 

TECHNIQUE) 


Kapal Bhati Pranayama is 

a very powerful breathing 

exercise that helps to bring 

your entire system into a 

perfect balance. 80 percent 

of the toxins in our body 

are released through the 

outgoing breath. Regular 

practice of Kapal Bhati 

pranayama detoxifies all the 

systems in our body. And 

the obvious sign of a healthy 

body is a shining forehead. 

Kapal Bhati literally translates 

to ‘the shining forehead’ and 

that is exactly what happens 

with regular practice of this 

pranayama. A forehead that 

glows not just from outside 

but also an intellect that 

becomes sharp and refined. 

How To Do Kapal Bhati 

Pranayama 

* Sit comfortably with your 

spine erect. 

* Place your hands on the

back towards the spine. 

* Do as much as you 

comfortably can. 

* You may keep your right 

hand on the stomach to 

feel the abdominal muscles 

contract. 

* Pull the navel in. 

* As you relax the navel and 

abdomen, the breath flows 

into your lungs automatically. 

* Take 20 such breaths to 

complete one round of Kapal 

Bhati pranayama. 

* After completing the round, 

relax with your eyes closed 

and observe the sensations 

in your body. 

* Do two more rounds of 

Kapal Bhati pranayama. 

The exhalation in Kapal 

Bhati Pranayama is active 

and forceful. So just throw 

out your breath. Don't 

worry about the inhalation. 

The moment you relax 

your abdominal muscles, 

inhalation will happen 

naturally. Just keep your 

awareness on breathing 

out. Practice it on an empty 

stomach.

weight by increasing the 

metabolic rate

energy channels)

organs and thus is extremely 

useful to those with diabetes

to slip disc, recently went

surgery, or are suffering with 

epilepsy or hernia. 

Women should not practice 

during and shortly after

LIFE STYLE 

Maintaining 

Healthy lifestyle 

46 T 


Our body is a temple and we need to 

take care of it to have a healthy life. There rise several 

questions. How healthy are you? Do you have a 

healthy diet? Do you exercise regularly? Do you drink 

at least 8 glasses of water a day? Do you get enough 

sleep every day? Answers to these questions leads us 

to maintain a healthy life. 

Think of your body as your 

physical shell to take you 

through your life. If you 

repeatedly abuse it with 

unhealthy food, your shell 

will wear out quickly. Life is 

beautiful and you don’t want 

to bog yourself down with 

unnecessary health problems. 

Don’t take your good health 

today for granted. Take 

proper care of your body. 

Good health is not just about 

healthy eating and exercise, it 

is also about having a positive 

mental health, healthy selfimage 

and a healthy lifestyle. 

Drink more water. Water 

is essential for our body to 

function – Do you know over 

60% of our body is made up 

of water? Water is needed to 

carry out our body functions, 

remove waste and carry 

nutrients and oxygen around 

our body. Since we lose 

water through urine, bowel 

movements, perspiration 

and breathing, we need to 

replenish our water intake. 

Get enough sleep. When 

you don’t rest well, you 

compensate by eating more 

junk food. Get enough rest 

and you don’t need to snack 

to stay awake. Remember 

lack of sleep causes 

premature aging. 

Exercise adequately. 

Movement is life. Researches 

has shown that exercising 

brings tremendous benefits 

to our health, including 

increase of life span, lowering 

the risk of diseases, higher 

bone density and weight 

loss. Increase activity in your 

life. Choose walking over 

transport for close distances. 

Climb the stairs instead of 

taking the lift. 

Eat more fruits. Fruits are 

a plethora of vitamins and 

minerals. Fill your palate 

with nutritious fruits such 

as, Watermelon, Apricots, 

Avocado, Apple, Cantaloupe, 

Grapefruit, Kiwi, Guava, 

Papaya, Strawberries. 

Eat more vegetables. 

Vegetables are important 

for the well being of our 

health. Experts suggest 

that we should have 5-9 

servings of fruits / vegetables. 

Include vegetables such as, 

Kidney beans, black beans, 

asparagus, long beans, 

french beans, sprouts, button 

mushrooms and carrots in 

your food. 

Healthy lifestyle is what 

everybody would like to 

have. It is easy to lead a 

healthy lifestyle. It does not 

burn your pocket. The above 

suggestions are so simple 

that anybody can follow 

without much effort or cost. 

Stay healthy for a Happy life. 


RELATIONSHIP 

48 


Long term 

Relationship 

are healthy 

Every successful relationship is successful in it’s own 

unique way. A successful long-term relationship include 

everything from personality traits such as your emotional 

temperament, social style, values and even your beliefs, 

to one of the more commonly sought after qualities 

- a sense of humour. 

Remember the old adage 

“nobody’s perfect”. When you fall 

for someone, your initial attraction 

can stop you noticing your new 

partner’s flaws or at least override 

them. But as things progress, you 

learn more about each other - 

both the good and the bad. 

There are various stages to a 

relationship. As you look to make 

someone a part of your life for 

long-term, you may question 

whether the relationship is right 

for you. Going slow diminishes the 

risk of that. 

Being true to yourself is crucial to 

making a relationship last. Being 

honest with yourself about what 

you want out of life and out of your 

relationship is a must. Be mindful 

to tell the truth when asked and 

do your best to be upfront. You 

may need to make room for your 

partner in your life, but not at the 

expense of everything else. 

No need to compromise your 

independence. Quality time in 

any form is important in making a 

relationship last. Don’t be afraid 

to let your guard down. If you’re 

hiding your feelings, don’t expect 

your other half to be a mind 

reader. Spend time together just 

talking. 

Everyday courtesies are easy 

to maintain and provide a low 

key, but effective way of letting 

your other half know that you 

are valued and cared for. The 

same goes for those little things, 

touches, kisses, hand-holding, 

small, inexpensive gifts, that longterm 

couples can sometimes take 

for granted to the point where they 

stop doing them. 


LOVE & ROMANCE 

50 

Romancing 

and being loved 

adds richness to our 

lives. When people feel 

close to others they are 

happier and healthier. 

Healthy romance helps 

us to feel important, 

understood, and 

secure.

and well-being. A healthy functional intimate 

relationship is based on equality and respect, not 

power and control. Ensure that you are able to 

maintain beliefs and sense of self as well as offer time 

and attention to the relationship.

quality of life helps in healthy 

romance. Working on a 

relationship always begins 

with working on oneself, take 

responsibility for your behavior.

others they are happier and 

healthier. Healthy romance 

helps us to feel important, 

understood, and secure. the 

kind of love we feel in romantic 

relationships is its own unique 

type of love. 

Attraction is the “chemistry” 

part of love. It’s all about the 

physical — even sexual — 

interest between two people. 

Attraction is responsible for the 

desire to feel to kiss and hold 

with full of affection. Attraction is 

behind the flushed, nervous-butexcited 

way we feel when your 

partner is near. 

Closeness is the bond that 

develops when we share 

thoughts and feelings that we 

may not share with anyone else. 

When you have the feeling of 

closeness, you feel supported, 

cared for, understood and 

accepted for who you are. 

Commitment is the promise or 

decision to stick by the other 

person through the ups and 

downs of the relationship. 

Romance love is when attraction 

and closeness are combined. 

Lots of relationships grow out of 

an initial attraction and develop 

into closeness.

away from Mathura, the city 

of Lord Krishna’s birthplace, 

near the Agra-Delhi highway. 

The town hosts hundreds 

of temples dedicated to the 

worship of Radha and Krishna 

and is considered sacred 

by a number of religious 

traditions such as Gaudiya 

Vaishnavism, Vaishnavism, 

and Hinduism in general.

grove or a forest. Two small 

groves still exist at Nidhivan 

and Seva Kunj.

INDIAN HISTORY 

Nightmare of 

Arab rulers 

58 


dynasty 

The Gurjara-Pratihara Dynasty, also known as the 

Pratihara Empire, was an Indian imperial power that 

ruled much of Northern India from the mid-7th to the 

11th century. The rulers were members of the Gurjara 

who were followers of Hinduism. Some of their clans 

later came to be known as Rajputs. They ruled first at 

Ujjain and later at Kannauj. 



INDIAN HISTORY 

60 

The Gurjara-Pratiharas were 

instrumental in containing 

Arab armies from moving 

east of the Indus River. 

Nagabhata I defeated the 

Arab army under Junaid 

and Tamin in the Battle of 

Rajasthan. Under Nagabhata 

II, the Gurjara-Pratiharas 

became the most powerful 

dynasty in northern India. 

Nagabhata II was succeeded 

by his son Ramabhadra, 

who ruled briefly, and was 

succeeded by his son Mihira 

Bhoja I. Under Bhoja and his 

successor Mahendrapala 

I, the Pratihara Empire 

reached its peak of 

prosperity and power. 

The extent the empire 

reached west to the border 

of Sindh, east to Bengal, 

north to the Himalayas, and 

south past the Narmada. 

The expansion once again 

triggered the power struggle 

for the control of the Indian 

Subcontinent, known as the 

Tripartite Struggle, with the 

Rashtrakuta Empire and 

Pala Empire. During this 

period, Imperial Pratihara 

took the title Maharajadhiraja 

of Aryavarta (Great King of 

Kings of Northern India). 

The power of the Pratiharas 

was weakened by dynastic 

strife. It was further 

diminished as a result of a 

great raid from the Deccan, 

led by the Rashtrakuta ruler 

Indra III, who at about 916 

sacked Kannauj. Under a 

succession of rather obscure 

rulers, the Pratiharas never 

regained their former 

influence. Their feudatories 

became more and more 

powerful, one by one 

throwing off their allegiance 

until by the end of the 10th 

century the Pratiharas 

controlled little more than the 

Gangetic Doab. 

Harichandra is said to have 

laid the foundation of the 

Gurjara-Pratihara dynasty in 

the 6th century. He created 

a small kingdom at Bhinmal 

around 550 A.D. after the fall 

of the Gupta Empire. The 

Harichandra line of Gurjara- 

Pratiharas established the 

state of Marwar, based 

at Mandore near modern 


The extent the 

empire reached 

west to the border 

of Sindh, east to 

Bengal, north to 

the Himalayas, 

and south past 

the Narmada. The 

expansion once 

again triggered the 

power struggle 

for the control 

of the Indian 

Subcontinent, 

known as the 

Tripartite 

Struggle, with 

the Rashtrakuta 

Empire and Pala 

Empire. 

Jodhpur, which grew to 

dominate Rajasthan. The 

Pratihara rulers of Marwar 

also built the temple-city of 

Osian. 

Gurjara-Pratihara are 

known for their sculptures, 

carved panels and open 

pavilion style temples. The 

greatest development of 

Gurjara-Pratihara style of 

temple building took place at 

Khajuraho. 

Historians of India, have 

wondered at the slow 

progress of Muslim invaders 

in India, as compared with 

their rapid advance in other 

parts of the world. The Arabs 

possibly only stationed small 

invasions independent of 

the Caliph. It is believed 

that it was the power of 

the Gurjara-Pratihara army 

that effectively barred the 

progress of the Muslims 

beyond the confines of 

Sindh, their first conquest for 

nearly three hundred years. 

In the light of later events 

this might be regarded as 

the “Chief contribution of the 

Gurjara Pratiharas to the 

history of India”.

India’s Reusable 

Launch Vehicle 

Technology Demonstrator 


On May 23, 2016 ISRO has successfully flight tested 

India’s first winged body aerospace vehicle operating 

in hypersonic flight regime. Reusable Launch Vehicle- 

Technology Demonstration Program or RLV-TD is a series 

of technology demonstration missions that have been 

considered as a first step towards realizing a Two Stage To 

Orbit (TSTO) fully re-usable vehicle. 

A Winged Reusable 

Launch Vehicle technology 

Demonstrator (RLV-TD) has 

been configured to act as a 

flying test bed to evaluate 

various technologies, 

namely, hypersonic flight, 

autonomous landing, 

powered cruise flight and 

hypersonic flight using airbreathing 

propulsion. 

The first in the series of 

experimental flights is the 

hypersonic flight experiment 

(HEX) followed by the 

landing experiment (LEX), 

return flight experiment 

(REX) and scramjet 

propulsion experiment 

(SPEX). Reusable Launch 

Vehicle Technology 

Demonstrator Hypersonic 

Experiment (RLV-TD 

HEX1) is wherein the 

hypersonic aero-thermo 

dynamic characterization 

of winged re-entry body 

along with autonomous 

mission management, to 

land at a specified location 

and characterization of hot 

structures are planned to be 

demonstrated. 

Reusable Launch Vehicle – 

Technology Demonstrator 

(RLV-TD) is one of the most 

technologically challenging 

endeavors of ISRO towards 

developing essential 

technologies for a fully 

reusable launch vehicle to 

enable low cost access to 

space. The configuration of 

RLV-TD is similar to that of 

an aircraft and combines the 

complexity of both launch 

vehicles and aircraft. 

RLV-TD consists of a 

fuselage (body), a nose cap, 

double delta wings and twin 

vertical tails. It also features 

symmetrically placed active 

control surfaces called 

Elevons and Rudder. This 

technology demonstrator 

was boosted to Mach no: 

5 by a conventional solid 

booster (HS9) designed for 

low burn rate. 

Objectives of 

RLV-TD: 

1. Hypersonic aero 

thermodynamic 

characterisation of wing body 

2. Evaluation of autonomous 

Navigation, Guidance and 

Control (NGC) schemes 

3. Integrated flight 

management 

4. Thermal Protection

external objects and these 

objects are always coming and

temporary and thus should be 

tolerated. One being situated 

in spiritual knowledge should 

with fortitude tolerate them and 

not succumb to lamentation or 

exaltation because of them. 

In the proper discharge of duty, 

one has to learn to tolerate 

nonpermanent appearances and 

disappearances of happiness and 

distress. 

Verse meaning 

O son of Kunti, the 

nonpermanent appearance 

of happiness and distress, 

and their disappearance 

in due course, are like 

the appearance and 

disappearance of winter and 

summer seasons. They arise 

from sense perception, O scion 

of Bharata, and one must learn 

to tolerate them without being 

disturbed. 

Explanation 

In the proper discharge of duty, 

one has to learn to tolerate 

nonpermanent appearances 

and disappearances of 

happiness and distress. One 

has to follow the prescribed 

rules and regulations of 

religious principles in order 

to rise up to the platform 

of knowledge, because by 

knowledge and devotion only 

can one liberate himself from 

the clutches of maya (illusion). 

A great heritage brings 

responsibility in the matter of 

proper discharge of duties. 

The objects of the senses 

perceived is called matra or 

the functions of the senses 

which are hearing, seeing, 

smelling, touching and tasting. 

Their contact with their 

appropriate objects produces 

the sensations of hot and 

In the absence of selfrealisation, 

there is always 

sorrow. Therefore it is clarified 

thus, matra means sensuous 

experience and sparsas 

means contact with them. 

Thus matra-sparsas is the 

interaction of the senses with 

sense objects. When the 

individual consciousness is 

deluded into relating to itself 

as the body, pleasure and the 

pain is experienced, but when 

the individual consciousness 

sees itself as separate from 

the physical body then the 

sorrow arising from the death 

of friends and relatives would 

not arise. 

It is by rejection of ones 

constitutional position as 

individual consciousness 

and accepting the position of 

considering oneself the body 

that the perception of pleasure, 

pain, happiness, sorrow and all 

the rest manifests.

Akshaya Trithiya 

auspicious day of 

betterment and prosperity 


Akshaya Tritiya is considered as the most golden day 

of the year because the word Akshaya means the most 

“Eternal” that which never diminishes. Akshaya Tritiya 

is also known as Akha Teej and is an highly auspicious 

day for Hindu communities. It falls during Shukla 

Paksha Tritiya in the month of Vaishakha. 

Akshaya Tritiya falling on a 

Rohini Nakshatra day with 

Wednesday is considered 

very auspicious. The word 

Akshaya means never 

diminishing. Hence the 

benefits of doing any Japa, 

Yajna, Pitra-Tarpan, Dan- 

Punya on this day never 

diminish and remain with the 

person forever. 

Akshaya Tritiya is believed 

to bring good luck and 

success. Akshaya Tritiya 

brings prosperity and wealth 

in the future. It is believed 

that, on this day Veda Vyas 

began to write Mahabharata. 

Jains celebrate this day to 

commemorate Tirthankara 

Rishabha’s ending of oneyear 

fast by consuming 

sugarcane juice poured into 

his cupped hands. 

According to Hindu 

mythology, on this day the 

Treta Yuga began and the 

river Ganges, the most sacred 

river of India, descended to 

the earth from the heaven. It 

was on this day that Goddess 

Annapoorna devi was born. 

Kubera received his wealth 

and position as custodian 

of wealth and property with 

Goddess Lakshmi on this day, 

by 

praying to 

Lord 

Shiva 

at Shivapuram. It is 

traditionally observed as the 

birthday of Parashurama, 

the sixth incarnation of god 

Vishnu. 

The most popular story 

regarding the celebration 

of Akshaya Tritiya is about 

Lord Krishna and Sudama or 

Kuchela. Lord Karishna and 

Sudama were friends during 

their childhood. Sudama 

was so poor that his familly 

does not have enough to 

eat. One day he decided to 

visit his childhood friend Lord 

Krishna. Sudama did not 

have anything else except 

the pouch of Poha and he 

felt ashamed and hesitated 

to give it to Krishna. His poor 

friend was overwhelmed by 

the hospitality shown by the 

Lord Krishna that he could 

not ask his friend for financial 

support. When he arrived 

at his home he saw that his 

run-down hut was converted 

into a palace and his family 

was wearing royal attire. 

Sudama knew that this was 

the blessing of his friend 

Krishna who blessed him with 

more wealth than he needed

SPECIAL MOVIE

Azhar 

When a biopic is 

being made as a 

film, more than the 

normal film, an extra 

attention is to be 

given to the subject, noting every minute 

detail correctly. But it seems that care 

was lost while making Azhar. Just like 

any other normal film, Azhar was made 

adding all the commercial ingredients, 

which finally made one forget that they are 

watching a biopic. 

Opened to the mixed reviews, the film 

could not sustain the run at the theaters. 

Emraan Hashmi could not step into the 

shoes of the star cricketer Azharuddin, but 

just showed himself on the screen. That 

was tasted bad and made a huge negative 

impact on the movie’s result.

SPECIAL MOVIE 

Sarbjit 

82 

Sarbjit is a female centric film 

with the male’s title. The 23 

years struggle of Dalbir Kaur 

(Aishwarya Rai), to rescue 

her brother Sarbjit (Randeep 

Hooda0 is what the film all about. Aish 

is at her best in performance. The pain, 

aggressiveness, love and several such 

emotions she brought out through 

the character, surely deserves a loud 

applause. 

The horrible situations criminals face in 

the jails, and the pain they have for the 

family is showed in a deadly realistic way. 

Especially, the way Randeep screams 

out with Aish, about his position in the jail, 

squeezes the hearts of many. 

The movie gained a positive buzz right 

from the first day. Though it was away 

from the commercial elements, the film is 

still doing well with the notable collections.

24 

The concept of the time 

machine was introduced 

to the Tollywood audience 

through Aditya 369. 

Smelling the similar line, 

24 movie was made. An old watch does 

all the magic in a guy’s life, revealing his 

past and the horrible situations, his family 

faced then. 

The story was first narrated to Mahesh 

Babu, and upon his rejection, has reached 

Suriya, who immediately gave his nod, 

liking it immensely. After Gajini, 24 is the 

second biggest success of Suriya, among 

the experimental subjects. 

The film was released simultaneously in 

both Telugu and Tamil languages and 

scored a huge success in both the places. 

24 is directed by Manam fame, Vikram K 

Kumar and is produced by Suriya himself, 

under his banner 2D entertainments.

Azhar 

On the whole 

Azhar is sure 

worth watching 

for the acting 

abilities by 

Emraan and for 

the engaging 

narration by 

Tony D’Souza. 

Story : 

Azhar happens to be the life story 

of legendary cricketer Mohammad 

Azharuddin who has been into 

controversies because of his 

match fixing allegations. The film 

starts off with a matching winning 

performance in his 99th test after 

which he will be caught in a sting 

operation after which he dreams 

of playing his 100th test as he gets 

banned. Azhar explains about his 

married life with Naureen (Prachi 

Desai) and his love story with 

Sangeetha (Nargis Fakhri). This 

forms the entire story of Azhar. 

Watch the film to know about 

the controversial life of cricketer 

Mohammad Azharuddin. 

Analysis : 

completely interesting as it 

narrates some crucial points that 

happened in the life of Mohammad 

Azharuddin. The complete 

narration has been girpping enough 

that it surprises the audience 

though they know the complete 

plot of the film. The songs and the 

entertainment along with Emraan 

Hashmi’s performance makes 

the first half outstanding. The 

interval episodes have been quite 

interesting. 

The second half of Azhar too 

maintains the expected race. The 

love story along with the struggle 

of the legendary cricketer has been 

well narrated which makes the film 

worth watching. The screenplay 

is the major highlight of the movie 

and the climax of Azhar takes the 

film to the next level. On the whole 

Azhar is sure worth watching for 

the acting abilities by Emraan and 

for the engaging narration by Tony 

D’Souza. 

Final Word: 

Azhar is a film that will sure 

impress the audience for Emraan 

Hashmi’s outstanding performance 

and Tony D’Souza’s impressive 

direction. A worth watching film.

Sarbjit 

3.5/5 

88 

The story of 

Sarbjit has 

been inspired 

from the real 

moments that 

happened 

in the life of 

Sarbjit Singh. 

Story : 

Sarbjit is the life story of a 

Punjabi farmer named Sarabjit 

Singh (Randeep Hooda) and is 

a collection of his life moments 

which created huge buzz across 

the country. It is not the story we 

already know as it brings out many 

unknown facts from Sarbjit's life. 

A Punjabi farmer gets trapped in 

Pakistani and he will be forced 

to agree that he has convicted a 

crime that he never performed. It 

is his sister Dalbir Kaur (Aishwarya 

Rai Bachchan) who fights for 

justice and the rest of the film is 

if the justice has been served. 

It is known that Sarbjit will be 

brought to his homeland but it 

unfortunately happens only after 

his demise. Watch this brutal and 

heart breaking film on main screen 

to know how it happened. 

Analysis : 

Randeep Hooda who proved 

himself as an actor has done 

a remarkable job in portraying 

the emotions, affection, sorrow, 

frustration and helplessness. His 

performance as Sarbjit will sure be 

remembered for ages. A special 

care has been taken on his body 

language and the way his character 

has been designed. Aishwarya 

Rai Bachchan comes out with a 

strong and dignified performance 

as Dalbir Kaur. She carried the film 

on her shoulders with her fearless 

performance throughout. 

The story of Sarbjit has been 

inspired from the real moments 

that happened in the life of Sarbjit 

Singh. The screenplay of the movie 

has been completely gripping 

enough that it pulled out the film in 

the most interesting way. 

Final Word: 

Sarbjit is a must watch film and 

it leaves you shocking, stunning 

and the audience will be saddened 

with the ordeal that Sarbjit and his 

family went through.

ARIES 

This will be a star month for you, where everything you are pushing for will manifest 

without you doing much. Expect clarity to come through between June 5 and 18. A new 

job or role or ideas will manifest after June 15. Between the 11th and 20th, you will need to 

sign some paperwork. Avoid friction at work between June 22 and 26. Financially, you will see 

a positive period with extra expenses at the beginning of the month. 

98 

GEMINI 

A brilliant birthday month for you, as 

everything you want will manifest. 

In fact, be careful for what you ask 

for. New opportunities will keep you 

busy till the 8th, post which work will be slow 

due to travels and pick up after June 24. 

You might work with new people this month. 

Delegate more, or you will burn yourself out. 

Health will need attention due to exhaustion 

round June 16-28. Family life will be stable 

throughout the month. 

CANCER 

While work will be slow till June 

12, expect clarity and more work 

to come in after the 14th and 22nd. 

New orders, sampling and projects will keep 

you busy after the 23rd. Avoid friction with 

staff around June 18-24. You’ll also be in 

the limelight post the 25th. Abundance will 

flow in through old clients after 17th. Avoid 

extra expenses around June 3-16. A family 

member’s health will need attention between 

6th and 17th. 

TAURUS 

Too much to do, since May was 

not your favourite month. All your 

ideas and plans will move forward 

post the 7th and you can expect people to 

acknowledge or understand them post the 

15th. Clarity about an ongoing project will 

come through after 12th. You might even go 

through a role or job change post June 17. 

This month, new associations or tie ups are 

on the cards. Work will be slow from 24th to 

29th. 

WWW.WISHESH.COM | JUNE 2016 

LEO 

June will be a slow period at work 

no matter what you try to do. Even 

if things move forward, there will be 

a slowdown from other people’s end. This 

can be frustrating, but it will also give you 

a second chance to rework and restructure 

to prepare yourself for the end result. Avoid 

arguments at work around the 18th and 25th, 

as it could back fire. Finances will be slow 

due to extra expenses.

VIRGO 

Keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best as you will be in for surprises. You 

won’t know what hit you (in a good way) with new ideas materialising and new tie ups 

coming into play. Expect clarity to come through around June 10-16. If you’re looking for a 

new job or investors or mergers, after June 15 is a brilliant period, but don’t expect clarity till 

end of this month. You might work with or hire new people this month. Spend time organising 

paperwork. 

SCORPIO 

You need to take charge but at the 

same time be patient. You have 

been procrastinating or feeling 

lazy, but energies this month will give you the 

push to move forward. Work will be stable 

throughout the month with minor delays 

around 16-21st June. An important meeting 

around 6-11th June and post 26th June will 

bring in abundance. 

SAGITTARIUS 

The month will start on a slow note 

with a lot of pending work to finish. 

Health may not be on your side and 

work will suffer till 12th. Expect work to pick 

up after June 16 as new projects come in. 

This month, you’ll also expand or add new 

work. If you are looking at getting freelancers 

or hiring new people, after the 18th is when 

you will get clarity. 

AQUARIUS 

You need to have a plan in place 

before you jump to decisions. You 

have been getting carried away by 

your ambitions. You also need to be practical. 

Clarity will come through after the 7th and 

22nd, but don’t be aggressive with people 

at work. Avoid friction with a senior member 

around 17-26th June. Health will need 

attention between June 6 and 17. 

CAPRICORN 

Work will be priority, as a lot of new 

ideas and opportunities come through. 

While people at work will be supportive 

of everything you do, you might have to 

organise and plan your next move. Don’t rush 

into things after the 17th as it might back fire. 

Important meetings between the 12th and 17th 

will fall in your favour. Work will slow down post 

June 26. 

LIBRA 

You need to slow down the mental 

pace. While you have a lot of 

ideas and thought you can expect 

everything to manifest and people to be on 

the same page. Paper work will clear post 

7th June, but post 20th June there could be 

differences in negotiation/ contract between 

clients. Avoid mood swings at work. Don’t 

carry work stress home. Post 15th June 

expects work from old clients to come 

through. 

PISCES 

Work will be erratic, some days good 

and some days slow. You can’t do 

much. Don’t blame yourself for the 

slow days. Not everything can be under 

your control. New job opportunities or orders 

will come through post 11th. An important 

meeting around June 18-23 will work in your 

favour. Don’t fear the past repeating in areas 

of work. Balance eating patterns and sleep 

on time.
