TEAM BB

Despite living in modern era people are not much aware that they could overcomeseveral beliefs, they are merely proceeding forward along with deviant trends and socalled traditions. Perception and mindset of populace are those things that take moretime for change.

In Gujarat legislative assembly election 2012 we have seen that the rate of voting washigher than previous year and the credit for that goes to youth of Gujarat and awarepeople who did it. Discussing politics here has no use, as media does it very well; mainintention was to highlight the change that has been made by aware public of Gujarat.

Commencement of any new thing takes time for the further development and in it canbe seen in Indian women. Indian women are becoming aware in almost each andevery field. They know pros and cons and what hurdles are there which come inbetween their development. The most considerable factor that has played a crucial rolein the development of Indian women is ‘Education’. Modern Indian women are gettinghigher education and empowering themselves. Indian government’s steps towardwomen education and welfare are also appreciable.

We have tried to include almost all categories as like Technological updates, Eco zone,current affairs, articles, interviews of various personalities and so much more.When a very small change leads the entire system towards a major change and that iscalled ‘Butterfly Effect’. The name of the effect invented by Edward Lorenz is derivedfrom the theoretical example of Tornado’s formation being contingent on whether or nota distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks before. The reason behindmentioning of Butterfly effect is to draw everyone’s attention that If we start changingthing from a tiny level it could change the whole system and that system can be of anytype. By following that concept we are going to start our beloved E-magazineBuddyBits and it will surely bring a change in entire modern era. BuddyBits would bedelightful for young as well as elder people; it would be like a trip in brief that everyonewill enjoy.

COVER STORY

BuddyBits’ inaugural issue is Black since we havedecided to dedicate this issue to the brave heartwomen of our country and of course the special onewho brought a brutal reality in front of us. Our saluteto the Delhi brave heart, who happened to be knownas many metaphors. Some of us have known her asDamini, some as Vyatha, where as for some she wasNirbhaya. It was her story, story of self righteousness,of sacrifice, of justice, of a fight to proven human.

16th December was the unfortunate day, when sherode the bus, which took her to the death bed insteadof her home, and after an ordeal lasting over 13 days,2 countries and several hospitals her life reached apainful end. We all know about this time period, how,when, where and what happened. We could write allother relevant incidents along with date here but defacto, it’s not about being bibliographical. The mainpoint is that she faced such brutal reality of the world,and not to forget she fought against it with valor. Shedared to die doing that. But the most importantsubject is that she actually revealed today’s situationto the world, from which we were pretending to beunknown.

She silently told us to wake up and rise, rise and fight,fight for your right, right to live. We are all awareabout the dangerous scenario of today. And yet wechose to be oblivion. She taught us to fight. It was herreaction that not only attracted the attention of all,including our so called politicians and national leaderstowards the basic gender discrimination and relatedissues, but also forced them to rethink and act againstit.

It was the bus ride on 16th December when thecatastrophe occurred, where few monsters, raped hertwice, beat her to the fine line between life & death,and cruelly threw her friend & her from the busstripped & covered in blood. It didn’t end there, theyeven tried to ride the bus over her; she was lucky thattime albeit died after several days of suffering.

But after this frightful incident, the noticeable thinghappened, a sudden increase in the rape casescomplaints. Actually it was never only Vyatha on the16th December at Delhi in that cursed bus, there wasalways someone somewhere facing the situation. Theonly difference is that all Vyathas can’t be Nirbhaya.

Desh Ubal Raha Hai!

Some choose being oblivion, and living the whole life ingruesome pain. Some ended their life.

Although she ended her life in a Singapore’s hospital, sheactually triggered the fire in our country. Delhi’s Daminiactivate the youth to take control. To ask for justice, allover the nation everyone protested against governmentdemanding justice and carried on her fight. Even theprotest got international acknowledgment. It literally feltlike “Desh Ubal Raha Hai, Badlega Rang, Badlga Desh”.The movement actually awakens the government andlegislators to make new law against women violence andprovide safety.

- Amee Jariwala

As usual the struggle for a stronger law died sooner than expected that leaves us with the question, WHATNOW? Our stubborn govt. is not going to take any step and we know it but was the demand to make "death ageneral punishment for rape" correct? Give it a thought, will the rapist ever leave the victim alive after theordeal in the fear that she will complain to the police which will eventually end his life? When he knows itsdeath anyway won't he take his chances to hide proofs by murdering her? There might be a little reduction inrape cases but there will be an unmatched rise in the percentage of rape & murder cases. The appropriatejudgement according to us should be chemical castration and other stricter punishments (including death) asnecessary. As far as the culprits of Nirbhaya case are concerned, hand them over to the public and broadcastit live and we guarantee the plummet in crime against women.

Sapna is supporting those who want to stay fit,reduce weight and keep it off forever through Facebook. Have a look at our conversation with Sapna.

We all know the person by their outer grace,elegance and glimpse. But we all would like toknow the real you from within. Tell us somethingabout you.

I am honest in my efforts be it for others or myself andit reinforces positivity. I can’t do things half-heartedly. Ido something or I don’t, I can’t commit myself to themediocre. I give my best shot to achieve a desiredresult and the rest I leave to God. Whatever He hasthought for me has to be good.

Well certainly you are a person with a shiningheart. So besides this shine what is yourindividuality regarding academic and profession.

so far I have helped over 5000 people throughFacebook in reaching their fitness goal withoutcharging.

Coming back on the fitness track. BB readersdefinitely keen to know the secrete behind yoursuch a strong will of weight loss?

I was 86kgs initially and then came down to 53kgs ina year’s time. I lost 33 kgs. Even when I was fat I wasvery happy in my own skin. But, I was perceived morethan my age and deep down somewhere it created afeeling of hurt. I didn’t like when once a strangerassumed me to be the mother of my niece and I wasjust 19. Such small incidences created the turmoilwithin. I chose not to accept the thing I could change.

Tell our readers, how you loss it and what yousacrifice for it?

Interview with Sapna Vyas PatelFITNESS ICON


I followed a fitness and diet routine. Dieting is eatingright and not starving. I eat everything I want to but inthe right proportion and at the right time. I never didcrash dieting or even excess exercising. Initially I didintense Cardio and then switched to Weight Training.

Nothing worth achieving comes easy. Weunconsciously know there are no short cuts to healthyweight loss. Fitness is a way of life and no magic pillsare available. Fad diets may give you quick resultsbut it will drain you of energy, put you at health risksand playing tricks with the body is not a wise choice.

Making is not as difficult as to maintain. So onceyou got such beautiful image it must be hard tomaintain. Tell us what you do to maintain fitness?

I plan my diet in such a way that I never feel hungry. Ieat almost every two hours but in a small quantity.Our body craves certain type of food when it isdeprived of it. For example, avoiding sugarcompletely would make the body crave for it. I keepcheck on my protein, fat and carbs sources.

After this tremendous change what differencesyou realize in your life?

I started loving the mirror, weighing scale soonbecame my friend, the clothes adorned by themannequin started fitting me, people around mestarted appreciating my efforts gave me strength tobe on track. I kept on telling myself, I may be notthere yet, but I am closer than I was yesterday.

The physical change is visible but the real changehappened inside. Weight loss can never be seen inisolation one has to modify the lifestyle as well as thethought process. It taught me patience, discipline anddedication. Most importantly I feel more confident.

Sapna launched a video called- ‘This Girl willshock you!’ on Youtube, which crossed morethan 1,00,000 views in just 14 days of launching!The video is about her weight loss transformation.It shows the journey of how she lost 33kgs in thespan of one year without any pills, surgery orcrash dieting.

Sapna’s Message for those who want to stay FIT & FAB!

Give a special message and a Tip to stay fit to thereaders of BuddyBits.com.

Fitness is not confined to actors or models or trainers. Weall need to stay fit. When we are fit it does bring positivity toour relations and enhances productivity in our work life.

It’s no secret that many people start with a great plan toachieve their fitness goal. Unfortunately, very few everaccomplish what they set out to do. You have to follow a dietand fitness routine which suits your lifestyle. The best planin the world is the one you can stick to. Just keep movingforward and never give up. There are times when the easieroptions are more tempting but we have to make ourselvesstronger than our excuses.

It always seems impossible until it’s done. A choice alwaysexists. So chose to Stay Wow.

Sneha Thakker is a first generation entrepreneur, who started Thakker Technologies at the age of 23years with her pocket money and zero capital. She has completed her graduation in Bachelor ofEngineering (Computer Engineering) in 2006 from Gujarat University. We took her interview. Have a look.

How was your life before being entrepreneur?

Life before being entrepreneur was fun; I was anewcomer who wanted to achieve big milestones in ajob and wanted to reach on the top position in somecompany. I was doing job at a local company inAhemdabad. I did job for around 2 years beforethinking to start my own venture.

How you got into entrepreneurship?

Due to my senior colleagues! You may wonder how?They never gave me an opportunity to show my skills.When I used to complete my assigned work in halftime, I was being moved to copy/paste and testingkind of work which was not profile, I was hired for!

So I started creating requirement myself andgenerating code out of it. Soon I got freelancing workand I continued doing that. Since then I’ve neverlooked back and started a company soon after that.

Tell us about your entrepreneurial journey.

The journey was never been so easy! Being a firstgeneration entrepreneur neither I nor my family hadany idea from where to start with. Be it legalprocedure or manpower requirement or financialmatter. I and my father worked very hard to sort outsuch basic things to start a company.

It was a good experience, because I did everythingmyself so I’ve learned a lot of things. I did not haveready peace of a cake to eat, so it was a fun to knowhow to make a delicious cake!

Tell us about Thakker Technologies.

Thakker Technologies is a team of dynamic, youngand expert professionals. We acreate components,modules, plugins, templates, logo, websitedevelopment/ design etc for various CMS includingbut not limited to Joomla, Dolphin, WordPress,OpenCart, ZenCart etc.

We also create digital products for different CMS outof which some are market leaders, like Social Sign In.Now we have started mobile development as well.Within couple of months you’ll see our apps in themarket. We always wanted to do something differentand something new, so you may find someuniqueness in our products too.

Which troubles did you face during your journey,and how did you overcome those?

The very first problem any entrepreneur may face ismoney. The same was true for me. I have started mybusiness with my pocket money and zero capital. Ifocused on sustaining my business, not make a loss,rather than making profit out of it in initial stage.

Also I did not have a business family background; Ihad to create my own client list. So I worked forlower price and sometimes for free, to prove myselfand get business for the first time.

Did you find any disadvantage of your youngage?

People used to think that I am too young for abusiness. And they always wonder how I ammanaging a company on my own! I think this was themajor disadvantage. They underestimate your skillsand power if you are a young entrepreneur.

Did you find any advantages & disadvantages ofbeing a woman entrepreneur?

There is not any advantage of being a womanentrepreneur as I see with my experience till date. Buta disadvantage could be people doubt your skills. Andwhat major problem I faced during startup, evenemployees do not want to join my company becauseit’s being run by a woman!

You have had quite an exciting career as a youngentrepreneur. Would you like to share aninteresting experience/incident from your journeyso far?

Well being an entrepreneur, is itself an interestingexperience. But I want to share an incident, about abusiness event. Someone called me up and when Ilook back to see who’s that? Guess who, the samepeople who once denied my existence and did notbelieve in my talent during the job! It was a delightfulday when I and they were sharing the same roundtable, they as employee of some company and me torepresent my own company!

You have been appreciated by many awards.Would you like to share on the same?

I was humbled to receive those recognitions. In veryshort journey I got awards like

• Priyadarshini Award(Outstanding Women Entrepreneur)

• Best Young Entrepreneur by ASDF

• Global Achiever's Award for Women Entrepreneur ofYear 2012

What advice would you give to upcoming youngentrepreneurs?

There are few advices I would like to give to young entrepreneursfrom my experience.

ü A smart captain does not go down with the ship. Don't go on afool's errand for the sake of ego.

üWhen you are a startup, forget about fancy offices, fast carsand fat expense accounts. Your wallet is your company's life-blood.

ü Don't start a business simply because it seems sexy or boastslarge hypothetical profit margins and returns. Do it only if it’ssomething what you love.

ü You’ll not be a billionaire overnight, have patience and keepbelieving & working for your dreams.

Sneha’s Message for Upcoming Young Entrepreneurs!

A young girl child lay in a trash for 3 days she was not given any help, her criesechoed through the streets. Help came to her in form of Honeysha Nanda.Honeyshah Nanda, visionary of NGO Save Girl Child (Surat) still remembers howshe found baby Tania lying in a trash can. She took the baby to the hospital whereshe was diagnosed with skin cancer. Honeysha’s efforts finally paid off, the girlsurvived!

Tania is one among many girls Honeysha had rescued. She has come across manyinstances by girl child was abandoned by their own parents. One of such instancesinspired her to start an NGO. She manages her own fund to help those childrenwho are really in need.

Have a look at our interview with Honeysha Nanda.

What Save Girl Child is about?

Save Girl Child is all about helping grow mentallysocially physically homeless and socially neglectedchildren though we more precisely focus on femalechildren.

Which activities you do at your NGO?

Well to start up we organize events with kids,educational trips, brain trainers and sessions withmotivators and counselors.

What motivated you to start an NGO?

The idea of opening such an NGO struck me when Iwas in the 10th standard (Year 2005). One of myclose friends was always tortured mentally by herfamily for being a girl; the torture was not by othersbut by her own parents which always put her intodepression. That is how I thought there should be aplace where girls have equal rights to live and everybasic necessity of life and I came up with Save GirlChild.

Do you have any team? Who works with you inSave Girl Child?

Save Girl Child has never had members or donators.It was always me who supports and runs the NGOfinancially and physically though we have a staff ofteachers, maids and security.

Which difficulties do you face while running anNGO?

I believe if a person genuinely wants to do somethinggood for someone difficulties don’t matter. In the startwe did face financial issues social criticism but Ialways had my parents and family to my support.

Have you been appreciated by any organization?

Well appreciation is never needed. For me theappreciation is when a girl holds her head high andbelieves that I was able to give her a good life. Itreally feels good when a kid you bought grows up andgets a bright future. That’s all appreciation means tome.

Nowadays, to deal with people is not an easy task inanyway or say it’s a hard nut to crack out. One cannotassociate him/her self to any individual by feelings, ifone does the same he/she is supposed to bear. Onecannot identify the instance at which the relation willbe at it worst stage or say It’ll become merely aformality. Such things make one feel that everything isimpermanent.

Not working of fellow-feeling, short tempered behavior, irritation, unpleasant feeling, lake of happiness,laugh-lost face, ignoring everything etc symptoms arevery common while one is passing in the course ofthis stage.

Ritzy moments one had passed with his/her friend arenow become past, no cool conversations, not a singlepunch-line on which they were laughing many times,no sweet quarrel, no stupid arguments, no sillyquestions and just Nothing!!

Individual starts thinking that, what is this? Who thehell is responsible for this? Why this happened withhim/her only? Such questions are usually rising up inone’s mind but nothing beyond belief in this situationas it was supposed to happen.

The legitimate thing is that only he/she is responsiblefor all these crap because the choice was not right.After realizing this fact one starts thinking in a veryright manner and also feels free because he/sheknows that, “One cannot laugh on the same jokeagain and again then why to cry on the same issueagain and again?”.

She is a girl, who is as much educated as you are. Who isearning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you havebecause she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like youor your sister haven't, as she was busy in studies andcompeting in a system that gives no special concession togirls for their culinary achievements;

One, who has lived and loved her parents, brothers andsisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, herhome, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family,your ways and even your family name!

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from dayone, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her newcircumstances, environment and that kitchen;

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in themorning and cook food at the end of the day, even if she is astired as you are, maybe more, and yet never ever expected tocomplain;

One, who has her own set of friends and that includes boysand even men at her workplace too, those, who she knowsfrom school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy, unnecessarycompetition and your inherent insecurities;

Yes, she can drink and dance just as well as you can, butwon't, simply because you won't like it, even though you sayotherwise;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this mostimportant relationship in her entire life a grand success, if youjust help her some and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the onlyone she knows in your entire house - your unstinted support,your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding,or love, if you may call it.

It was a usual fall morning in Kalamazoo, a small city in Michigan. Theclouds were dark and the wind was freezing and very soon it was going tosnow. The first snow of the season always brought a lot of excitement. Myhusband and I were new to USA and it was in Kalamazoo where we startedour life as a family, so it has a special place in our lives.

This morning, I had to go to a friend’s house to help her. I called her Ruthaunty. She was old and wise, loving and caring for everyone in thecommunity. I had to drive to her house by myself as my husband was out oftown for some work. As I was driving, I had to go up-hill on the main road.The road was not very busy and everything around looked calm andbeautiful. And in that instance my car suddenly stopped. I tried again andagain and it would just not start.

I was dumbfounded for few seconds. It was a sudden shock for me. Next, Irealized my car was slipping down. At once I pulled my emergency breaksand I came out of my car. I was totally frantic in that situation. I tried callingfew friends but there was no answer. There were a few cars passing by, atthat time but I seemed to see no one around me except my car. I wasterrified at the thought of dealing with a police and getting a ticket for havingmy car in the middle of the road.

Just that moment, a big white van stopped, a lady parked her car and cameto me. She kindly asked me what happened and she knew my car neededto be moved from the main road. She explained me that she would bring herVan right behind my car and give a gentle push to drag my car around thecorner. I knew no other way. I listened to her instructions and we could parkthe car on the sideways. It was a great relief; I just said thank you and thelady took off. The car was in the parking lot of some apartments and I couldcome back to my home walking as it was very near.

After some time when I was normal, I thought I’ll ring up the lady and thankher heartily, tell her how I felt, how scared I was, how she rescued me, how Iwould have panicked if nobody would have come. But I realized I did notask her name nor did I take her address or phone number.

I could never thank her in person, never again did I see her or meet her .We moved out of Kalamazoo in a couple of years and life went on. But yesshe was my angel, and I guess, may be angels don’t have names.

6th Season of the most famous Indian TV Realityshow Bigg Boss launched in October with tagline-Alag Che! Alag to che j boss! Is it reality show? I don’tthink so. Bigg Boss 6 was supposed to be a parivarikseason. And yes it was, to the most extent.Combination of love stories, break ups and patch ups,fights, crocodile tears, verbal spats made season looklike Daily Soaps! One thing was good about thisseason comparing to previous, Contestants!Contestants seemed united most of the time. Butagain, unity in Bigg Boss? Not suitable! Bigg Bosstried their best to break their unity, creating partitionbetween contestants to maintain TRP of the show.Urvashi’s secret task, Bhakhtyaar’s entry in thehouse, Rakesh Paul’s visit and above all, ImamSiddiqui’s wild card entry were few of those tries tounbound contestants. But somehow, contestantsstood united in every condition. Imam’s fight withevery co-contestant, Delnaaz & Rajeev’s relationshipand Aashka’s tears were centered in the season.

Urvashi Dholakiya won the season, which was soobvious. But according to me, she was not the personhow she was projecting her on the show. Shemanipulated and played game to brighten the chanceof her winning. And yes, she did it. She won.

According to viewers and inmates of the house, therewere many other deserving contestants to win theshow rather than Urvashi. Delnaaz and Niketan werebelieved to make to the top 3 along with Urvashi.Delnaaz was a very strong contestant to win theseason according to viewers, critics and inmates. But,her calm nature drew her to the elimination. Hereviction came as a surprise to all. But anyways, shemade place in the heart of audience. Same thinghappened with Niketan. He couldn’t even make to theTop 3. Elimination of Niketan and Delnaazdisappointed the audience.

And the man, who almost fought with everyhousemate, who irritated fellow contestants, who didchildish activities for footage, who gave crap sceneson National Television, who made his fellowcontestant cries, who even fought with the host-Salman Khan declared the first runner-up of theshow! Isn’t it great? Imam’s second position was notacceptable among the sophisticated audience. Butwe cannot do anything. This is the reality of realityshows!

Verdict: Luxury, locations and glamour has surely made Race 2 grand, but it’s not enough.Unrealistic stunts, copied scenes and predictable plots disappoints audience. Overall belowexpectations but a one time worth watch.

Whoever is a die-hard fan of Race, was definitelylooking forward for Race 2. And the wait is over. Race2 hits the screens today. Locations, luxuryand glamour has surely made movie grand; but it isnot enough! Race 2 is an entertainment package ifyou will put your mind aside. Stunts and few scenesin the film are far away from the reality. You may findmany scenes quite similar in the film which are copiedfrom Race and hollywood movie- National Treasure!Race 2 is an action thriller with many surprises, buttwists and turns of Race makes Race 2 predictable!First half of the movie is average. Real Race (alltwists and turns) starts on the interval and the secondhalf is good.

Saif Ali Khan has given excellent performance. JohnAbraham is also quite good. Female leads DeepikaPadukone and Jacqueline Fernandez are good. ButBipasha Basu would have been more suitable forRace! Comic role of Anil Kapoor has not added muchin this part of Race. Amisha Patel is average in themovie. Both Anil and Amisha have not added much inthe movie.

Music of the movie is good, but not good as Race.Story of the film lacks original elements and containspredictable plots. Dialogues and script is very goodthough. Direction and editing of movie is good. Visualeffects are average.

Race 2- Below expectations but a worth watch!MOVIE REVIEW

I had listed my name in waiting list for thebeta use, and I got Graph Search on my Facebookaccount today. I’ve been testing it out ever since. Andhere I am writing a review of Facebook GraphSearch.

The Graph Search bar on Facebook has replaced myold search bar and now occupies a prominent placeon the top tab of my Facebook homepage; thenotifications, messages, friend requests tab are nowon the right. The new design is giving Graph Search alot more prominence.

Design changes aside, Graph Search now lets mesearch according to photos, people, places andinterests/ likes on the social networking site. In shortyou can now type Photos of friend X in 2006 and getthe relevant results if any.

If there are no Facebook results available for aparticular search, the search will display Bing results.

If you get a chance to change one thing for betterment of India, what would like to change?YOUR VOICE

Let Narendra Modi (C.M. of Gujarat) be a P.M. ofcountry. He will do rest of things which I want todo.

First and the foremost I will make 70 years theofficial retirement age in the ruling government.There are way better and dynamic youth leadersour country has whom should be given a chance.Our president is nearly 80 and our vice-president75; they will be worrying more about their healthrather than the future of the world's 2nd largestcountry. It’s time the people of India should sackall these older people and let the youth take thereins of India in their hands. This change is theutmost necessity of India and it has to implementas soon as we can.

We need to eliminate one and only one thing andthat is CORRUPTION. Once if you achieve this,everything else will fall into place. For that weneed to improve the judiciary system. Give hugepunishments for the guilty including death. Treat itas the one of the biggest crimes. I am sure we willsucceed then.

Military should take charge for some years.Change the things and hand it over to theirchosen government to maintain democracy.

Leaders of excessive age should be banned nyouth of india should be given a chance ntransparency in the system should be maintained.

Pull a currency note out of your wallet and take agood look at it. Caress it with love, care, totality andalertness. You can actually see the story of your ownlife unfold before your eyes. Every currency note orcoin tells the fascinating story about you. Every areaof our life from relationships to health is deeplyentwined with “Money.” Sadly however, nothing ismore misunderstood, mysterious and complex asmoney. This vital subject is completely neglected allthrough our years of schooling.

If the money area gets affected then every area of ourlives gets affected. Money is a very special mirror thatcan show us the reality and truth of our lives, exactlyas it is. And if needed, you can use it to tidy yourselfup.

Discover the lost inner child within and develop aplayful attitude towards Money. Let go of the falseconcepts of Money, which suck your energy andvitality. Re-look at money without labeling it astainted, corrupt, bad, or impure. Look with purity, aweand wonder. Only then Money will transform andflower into something so pure and divine. And asMoney flowers and blooms so will your life.

For starters take a small action: Take any currencyand kiss it lovingly. As you kiss it Feel within the lovefor Money. For this all you need to drop is Yourhypocrisy and become child like. Do it on a dailybasis and each time allow your feelings to go deeper.This is the best starting point for developing a HealthyHappy Happy Relationship with Money.

Why the New Indian Rupee Symbol is Inauspicious and How it can be changed to make itEnergetically Powerful.

Mystical Symbols and Sacred Design or Geometryhas been used since ages across the World. Aum,Indian Swastik with words of Shubh Labh, SevenChakra Symbols, Shreem etc have been created bythe Rishi’s and Masters with a deep sacred thought.

Each Symbol creates a Vibration because of its veryDesign, Colour, and its interaction with the FiveElements. Everyone knows that the starting of allMaterial starts with the Energy. And Energy canneither be destroyed nor created and it can just betransformed from one Form to Another. Energy is theraw material of Universe. We also live in anVibrational Universe.

Most of us in India would have been alarmed whenthe Indian Rupee hit a historic record low of 56.52 onMay 31, 2012 to the USD. There are numerousreasons for the same. But one reason most wouldhave not factored is the faulty design of the Symbolitself. The Symbol seems to be Energeticallyincorrect.

Let us analyse it – The Headless Rupee

If you give a currency note holding it between yourfingers, many who are aware would not appreciate it.This is like cutting the Energy of Money using ascissor (called as Katri in local lingo).

Also sharp pointed strokes represents dagger or knifewhich are negative energy.

Then there is another line right at the top of thesymbol which locks its upward Growth.

The R (in devnagiri) is a downward stroke signalinggoing down.

Surely the people who approved this design may nothave any idea of its negative implications. They arenot equipped or trained in these matters.

Is this the only reason that our Rupee is falling on aregular basis? Surely not, but it is also one significantreason to be Understood and Addressed.

Will the symbol be rectified? I don’t think so. Simply,because it will be thrashed and dumped as one greatmumbo jumbo superstition. But the powers to be willlook for auspicious days and timings to do the rightthings. Many will still have a Red Lucky Thread tied intheir hands etc. These are scientific and notsuperstitious.

How to create an Energetically Lucky Symbol?The Vibrant Face of the Indian Rupee

Have an open symbol like “Aum”

No cuts or sharp lines to be used. Smooth curvespreferred.

No downward strokes. Upward strokes project growthand positivity.

Symbol should be simple and convey vibrancy

Red or Green which is the Colour of Money to beused

New Indian Rupee Symbol is Inauspicious!SPECIAL

The upper part or the Head ofthe Symbol is Cut off with abold sharp line. This is likecutting the Head of a HumanBeing. Can you imagineyourself without your Face?This is single biggest mistakein the design.

Hello everyone, I am Shivang N. Desai. You willsurely get to know about me from my social profile soI won’t boast about myself here. But in brief to informyou about the nature of my work, I am in the businessof helping people become rich and stay rich.

Still confusing huh? Let me explain.

Do you Know?

That 96 % of the wealth in the world is owned by just1% of the population, and just 4% of the wealth isowned by 99% of the population. Is it a merecoincidence? Not at all. There is something theyunderstand, let’s have a look at it.

Throughout your life and also in the future, you willalways be taught how to earn money, but nobody willteach you how to manage your money. I will help youto manage your money with this column. In thisarticle, we will see how to achieve financial freedom.

Finding Financial Freedom

I like to keep my interaction with you a bit raw and inform of chat rather than a lecture or a column. Thisway we will enjoy our conversations too and in turnlearn and enjoy our journey.

Now continuing to what I said earlier, what do I reallymean by

ü Make your money work for you.üWork Smart not Hard.

Let’s understand step by step. What we really do inour day today life? You run constantly in search ofmoney. Whatever you are doing right now be it a jobor your own profession or even studies etc.,somewhere it is related to developing some skills orselling your skills to your customers or your company(if you are doing job) for money. Because money inturn makes you able to buy your comfort and achieveyour dreams over and above the survival in day todaylife.

In all the above scenarios just take a minute and thinkthat what happens if you don’t do what you are doing.

How to get Financial Freedom?MONEY GURU


35

You stop studying, you stop going office or you stopgoing to your job. Does it still guarantee you the flowof income continuously? I think the answer is NO formost of us.

So what is happening here is you are working formoney. And the day you stop working, the flow ofmoney stops. This is called Working Hard.

Now contrary to this, what if you are in a positionwhere you just have to do what you love to do andmoney keeps flowing irrespective of you work or not.Here you are making your money work for you. Thissituation, right here that I am talking about is calledworking smart, which will give you financial freedom,and in turn assures you TIME freedom to do whateveryou love.

You may think “Isme Naya Kya Tha? We all knowabout it”. Well there must be many people who mayknow this, but there are still many who don’t. Also ifyou know this fact, what are you really doing about it?Nothing. Right?

Don’t worry; the problem is not with you. But the basicproblem is with the human psyche and the educationsystem. We have always been taught to work hard asit has been very finely ingrained in our DNA duringour evolution from apes to present day humans. Andthe result of this is 96% of the population on planet

earth is working HARD, while only 4% of thepopulation is working SMART as they make theirmoney work for them as they break away from thispattern of working HARD.

Now it doesn’t matter if you are a millionaire,billionaire or a roadside popper. But human beingsurely loves one thing time freedom and theopportunity to just do what they love to do. But toachieve time freedom you need financial freedom.The biggest problem with our education system iseveryone either in school or in college or in yourmaster’s programme no one teaches you how toattain financial freedom. Everyone just teaches youhow to earn money.

But don’t worry. Through this column I will be sharingwith you what it takes to attain financial freedom.So to know more about the hardware and software ofattaining financial freedom do stay tuned to thisspace. God bless you all.

We are all aware of the environmental crisis, but whatcan we do about it? Is it our responsibility asindividuals to take action, or should we expect thegovernment or industry to take responsibility? Manyenvironmental problems are the cumulative effect ofmany ordinary people going about their normal dailylives. Even commercial companies that produce toxicwaste or excess packaging may do so because webuy their products or services.

Many of our daily activities produce what are knownas sub-threshold effects. This means that when, forexample, I throw away a single battery, theenvironmental damage caused by my action isnegligible. Even if I use batteries regularly, the effectis probably still negligible. So do I really need toworry?

Well, imagine a village with a population of onehundred. The villagers are about to eat lunch, andeach villager has a plate of 100 beans.

A group of one hundred bandits raid the village, andeach bandit takes and eats the lunch of one villager.The next day the bandits decide to repeat the raid,but each bandit feels guilty about depriving a villagerof his meal. However, they soon find a way round thisattack of conscience. They raid the village as before,but this time each bandit takes only one bean fromthe hundred beans on the plate of each villager. Thebandits leave, well fed and happy, each knowing thathis impact on each villager has been negligible. Thevillagers, however, have still lost all of their lunch!

The factor that the bandits ignored is that they knewthe other bandits were behaving in the same way, andthey therefore knew that the effect of the second raidwould be the same as the first. Similarly, like me,many other people are regularly throwing awaybatteries, and the cumulative effect of these actionsisn’t negligible. And I know that lots of other peopleare throwing batteries away, so I know that my actionis contributing to significant environmental damage.This knowledge makes a difference.

Ensure that your refrigerator’s seals are fully functional and don’t leave the refrigeratordoors open for too long. Refrigerators turn themselves off when they become cool to saveenergy, but when the air inside them warms, they switch on.

So if your seals allow warm air to enter your refrigerator, it will stay on and waste a greatdeal of electricity. Anything else that is meant to maintain a certain temperature while sealedshut also deserves to have it’s seals checked, and it shouldn’t be left open.

Close your refrigerator door.GREEN TIP
