ment would remove
Armed Forces (Special
Powers) Act (AFSPA)

the sake of appease-
ment.Whenitwasasked
of me, I said we will first
bringpeaceinthenorth-

gathering at the inaugu-
ration of the newly built
BJPoffice—AtalBihari

Guwahati, party’s big-
gest office in the north-

tain public order in “dis-
turbed areas,” in some
parts of the northeast

INVEST RAJASTHAN SUMMIT-2022
Be it Adani, Ambani or Jay Shah, we welcome all: CM Gehlot
Naresh Sharma &
Ziauddin Khan
Jaipur: Criticising the
BJP for mocking the
Congress after he
praised industrialist
Gautam Adani during
the Invest Rajasthan
summit, Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot on
Saturday said it was
not a private pro-
gramme and 3,000 del-
egates attended it.
Be it Adani or Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah’s son Jay Shah,
Rajasthan will welcome
all because it wants in-
vestment and employ-
ment, Gehlot said.
“It is not a private
event, it is an investors’
summit. Are 3,000 dele-
gates (who attended the
summit) of the Con-
gress?” Gehlot asked,
asserting their ideolo-
gies could be that of the
Congress or the BJP
.
“In such a situation,
whydotheywanttocre-
ate a hurdle? I condemn
these people. They
talked about Gautam
Adani yesterday (Fri-
day). Be it Gautam Ada-
ni or any Adani, or Am-
bani or Amit Shah’s son
Jay Shah, we will wel-
come all of them here.
We want employment,
we want investment,”
the chief minister said.
It was not clear why
Gehlot clubbed Jay
Shah’s name with those
of industrialists Am-
bani and Adani as the
Union home minister’s
son is not known to
have any major busi-
ness interest.
Congress leader Ra-
hul Gandhi often high-
lights Adani to allege
thatPrimeMinisterNar-
endra Modi only helps
big business people.

RAJ GOVT HASN’T GIVEN PREFERENTIAL
TREATMENT TO ADANI: RAHUL GANDHI
Turuvekere: A day after Gautam Adani pledged huge
investments in Rajasthan, Rahul Gandhi said on Saturday
the Congress government in the state has not given any
preferential treatment to the industrialist and
asserted that he is not against corporates
but monopolies. Addressing a press
conference here, Gandhi also said if the
Rajasthan government gives business to
Adani wrongly, he will oppose that. The BJP
mocked the Congress on Friday after CM
Ashok Gehlot lavished praise on Adani.
Jairam Ramesh
@Jairam_Ramesh
Much hype is be-
ing created over
Gehlot's meet
with Adani. Adani wants
to invest `60,000 cr in
Rajasthan. No CM will say
don't invest. There are NO
special rules or policies for
Adani by RJ Govt. Gehlot
is very much against cro-
nyism of the Modi variety.

Jaipur: Robbery at a
retired judge’s house on
Friday in the Mansaro-
var area of Jaipur has

On Saturday, RERA
Chairman NC Goyal is-
sued orders in this re-
gard, but experts say
as to “After all, how
many promoters will
be able to take advan-
tage of this order?
There is hardly any
promoter in the state
who has completed his
residential or commer-
cial project and com-
pleted without pre-
booking or marketing,
because to complete
the project, the amount
given by the clients is
considered necessary.”

Had Dag Hammarskjold,
Secretary General of the
United Nations, not died in
plane crash in September
1961, R.K. Narayan would
have got the Nobel Prize for
Literature sooner rather than
later. I often spoke to R.K.
Narayan about missing out
on the prize. His answer was
that of man who had Malgudi
written all over him. “I am
glad I did not get the Prize. It
would have disrupted my life,
peace and tranquillity com-
pletely”. He meant it.
We had been intimate
friends for forty years. I still
re-read some of his novels,
specially, ‘Swami and
Friends, ‘The Bachelor of
Arts’, ‘The Guide’ and his en-
chanting autobiography
, ‘My
Days’, in which I appear. The
year, 1965, New York. R.K.
Narayan was in serious trou-
ble. Harvey Breit, at one time
literary editor of The New
York Times was an old friend
of R.K. They fell out over Har-
vey’s stage version of “The
Guide”. “His version was so
different from mine that I
withheld my permission to
present it on the stage.”
R.K’s lawyer warned him
that he should leave the coun-
tryimmediately
,because,Har-
vey was taking him to court.
A summon would be issued
and R.K would not be allowed
to leave New York for six
months….”Thanks to my
friend Natwar Singh of our
foreign service, I secured asy-
lumintheIndianConsulate..”
I put him on the Air India

This year’s prize for Litera-
ture has been awarded to the
French author, Annie Er-
naux. She is the first French
woman to get the award. In
all, seventeen female writers
have received the Nobel for
Literature.
One of her novels, “Getting
Lost”, published in 2001, is
about her intense affair with
a Soviet Diplomat.
Annie Ernaux is 82 years
old. The citation was read out
byMatsMalm,thepermanent
secretary of the Swedish
Academy which selects the
winner. Part of it lauds the
‘courage and clinical acuity
with which she uncovers the
roots, estrangements and col-
lective restraints of personal
memory’.
The one who wrote,
“Where the mind is without
fear and the head is held
high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by
narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from
the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretch-
es its arms towards perfec-
tion; Where the clear stream
of reason has not lost its way
into the dreary desert sand of
dead habit; Where the mind is
led forward by thee into ever-
widening thought and action-
Into that heaven of Freedom,
my Father
, let my country
awake.
This is stanza 35 from Ra-
bindranath Tagore’s “Gitan-
jali” for which he was award-
ed the Nobel Prize for Litera-
ture in 1913. No other Indian
has got the Literature Prize
since then.
On October 6th a half de-
mented 34 year old Thai drug
addictanddismissedpoliceof-
ficer committed a horrific
crime in a children’s school in
the northern eastern rural
town, Nangbua Lamphu. He
entered the child care facility
,
armed with a pistol, shotgun
and knife. He killed thirty
eight people, including twenty
four children, taking their af-
ternoonnap.Notonewasmore
than four years old. Each was
stabbed or shot in the head.
Their eight month pregnant
teacher met the same fate.
The killer then walked
home, shot his wife, son and
himself. Thailand is a Bud-
dhist country
. At 5:1, weapons
per 100 people, gun ownership
rate in Thailand is among the
highest in Asia.

president Lalu Pras-

away from his kar-

railway minister. He has al-

in jail for the infamous fodder
scam and now the CBI has
charge sheeted Lalu, his wife
Rabri Devi who is also a former
chief minister of Bihar, their
daughters Misa Bharti, Hema
Yadav and 16 others in the land
for job scam in which land was
acquired at rates lower than
the market rate. The CBI’s case
is that 12 persons from Patna
were hired for Group D jobs in
the railways and in return La-
lu’s family got seven plots of
land. Lalu and his kin are al-
leged to have acquired 1 lakh
square feet of land for mere Rs
26 lakh against the market rate
of Rs 4.39 crore.

TOP TWEETS
R
aste and religious
politics are close-
ly linked in India.
In reality politics
feeds on caste and
religion as it keeps voters
divided to its advantage.
Hindu scriptures divide the
society into four Varnas-
--Brahmins, Kshatriyas,
Vaishyas and Shudras---
based on which the evil of
the caste system has evolved
and become all-pervasive. It
is reflected in the discrimi-
nation of and frequent cases
of assault on Dalits. So fix-
ated are some upper caste
Hindus on castes that they
even want to practice it even
in distant America. It is,
therefore, heartening to
hear Mohan Bhagwat, the
Sarsanghchalak, talk of dis-
carding the caste system
(Varna and Jaati) as it has
become outdated. They are
things of the past and forgot-
ten, he said. Unfortunately,
they are not being allowed to
fade from public memory.
Given the hold that caste
politics has on Indian’s mind-
scape that doing away with it
will be like stirring a hornet’s
nest. Although attempts are
being made to assimilate low-
er castes into the main-
stream, high caste Hindus
will oppose any such move
tooth and nail. Just as Bhag-
wat’s 2019 call for a “conver-
sation in harmonious atmos-
phere between those in fa-
vour of quota and those
against it”. The call was in-
terpreted as anti-Dalit-Back-
ward face of the RSS and BJP
.
The RSS had to clarify that an
unnecessarycontroversywas
being created.
The latest suggestion will
also have an impact on reser-
vations for both Dalits and
Backward Classes. Neither
section will let go of that
right and with the general
elections due in 2024 netas
will start making a beeline
for Dalits’ homes.
CASTE SYSTEM IS
TOO DEEP-ROOTED
The latest suggestion will

Chandigarh (ANI):
Pride and valour ech-
oed in the celebrations
of the Indian Airforce
which marked the com-
pletion of 90 years of
its foundation on Satur-
day
. IAF chief Air Chief
Marshal Vivek Ram
Chaudhari lauded the
forces and informed
that the Indian govern-
ment approved the cre-
ation of a weapon sys-
tem branch for the of-
ficers in IAF.
This year’s anniver-
sary celebrations theme
was “IAF: Transform-
ing for the Future”.
This aptly highlights
the Indian Air Force’s
needs to redefine, reim-
agine and recalibrate to
transform into a con-
temporary and future-
ready force. “It is my
privilege to announce
that the government
has approved the crea-
tion of a Weapon Sys-
tem Branch for Officers
in the IAF. This is the
first time since the inde-
pendence that a new op-
erational branch has
been created,” said Air
Chief Marshal Vivek
Ram Chaudhari.
The move will essen-
tially be for manning
fourspecialisedstreams
of Surface-to-Surface
missiles, Surface-to-Air
Missiles, Remotely Pi-
loted Aircraft and
Weapon System Opera-
tors in twin and multi-
crew aircraft. He also
informed that the crea-
tion of this branch
would result in savings
of over Rs 3,400 crore
due to reduced expendi-
ture on flying training.
He also stressed the
induction of air warri-
ors into IAF through the
Agnipath scheme and
called it an opportunity
to harness the potential
of youth. “We have
changed our operation-
al training methodology
to ensure each Agniveer
is equipped with the
right skills and knowl-
edgetostarttheircareer
in the Air Force. In De-
cember we would be in-
ducting 3,000 Agniveer
Vayu for their initial
training,” he added.

convenor, addressing a tribal gathering in Dahod, prom-
ised “free visit to Ayodhya Ram temple” to “people from
Gujarat”, should the AAP form the government in the
western state. Urging people to ensure that “not a single
vote goes to the Congress”, Kejriwal claimed that both
the BJP and the Congress were having secret midnight
meetings. Accompanied by Punjab Chief Minister Bhag-
want Mann, Kejriwal, who arrived a couple of hours late
at the Dahod event Saturday, said, “They (BJP) always
claimed that the roads in Gujarat are good… But look at

New Delhi: The cur-
rent Bihar government
has the support of seven
parties. Although only
fourpartiesareinvolved
in the government, a to-
tal of seven parties are
in the coalition govern-
ment. Three communist
parties—CPI, CPM and
CPIML—have support-
ed the government from
outside, while JD(U),
RJD, Congress and Hin-
dustan Awam Morcha
form part of the govern-
ment. Running an alli-
ance of seven parties is
not easy in a politically
volatile state like Bihar.
But since the number of
these two parties, JD(U)
and RJD, also exceeds
the majority, neither
party is in a position to
exert pressure.
Nevertheless, for the
last few days, there is a
discussion that a coordi-
nation committee
shouldbeformed,which
will help in the opera-
tion of the coalition and
the government. This
demand is especially
from the three commu-
nist parties, which are
not part of the govern-
ment. They feel that
through the coordina-
tion committee, they
will be able to keep an
eye on the work of the
government and take
some decisions accord-
ing to their agenda. For-
mer Chief Minister Ji-
tan Ram Manjhi’s party
Hum and some Con-
gress leaders have also
pointed out the need for
a coordination commit-
tee. In fact, the message
among the leaders of
these five small parties
is that the government
is of JDU and RJD. All
the work is being done
according to these two
big parties, which is
true to an extent. There-
fore, it will be interest-
ing to see whether Chief
Minister Nitish Kumar
and Deputy Chief Min-
isterTejashwiYadavare
ready to form a coordi-
nation committee.
Will Nitish and Tejashwi agree to form
a 7 party coordination committee?

the development in
Jammu and Kashmir as
the biggest achieve-
ment of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi-led gov-
ernment and further
claimed that each sec-
tor of the Union Terri-

Washington (ANI):
Union Minister for Pe-
troleum and Natural
Gas Hardeep Singh
Puri on Friday (local
time) said that India
will navigate through
the Organisation of Pe-
troleum Exporting
Countries Plus
(OPEC+) decision to
cut oil production from
November by a steeper
than expected two mil-
lion barrels per day
(bpd).
“How will this im-
pact India? We are very
confident of being able
to navigate through the
situation,” Puri said
while speaking to re-
porters in Washington.
Puri highlighted In-
dia is one of the largest
oil importers and the
demand is expected to
rise driven by an in-
crease in India’s per
capita consumption of
energy which current-
ly stands at one-third
of the global average.
Puri further stressed
that the fuel demand is
expected to keep rising
as the country’s econo-
my grows.

makingbaselessclaims,
adding that a few years
back Kishor had ad-
vised him to merge his
party Janata Dal (Unit-
ed) with Congress.
Kumar took a swipe
at Kishore, saying, “it
appears that Kishor is
working for Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP).”
The Bihar Chief Minis-
ter categorically denied
offering Prashant
Kishor a post in his par-
ty. Asked about PK’s
claim, Kumar told re-
porters, “It is false. Let
him speak whatever he
wants. We have nothing
to do with it. 4-5 years
back he had told me to
merge with Congress.
He has gone to BJP
nowadays and is acting
as per them. What he
has to do with politics?”

WILL UDDHAV
COME BACK TO THE
‘OLD HOUSE’?
One thing that can be
said with certainty
about politics is that
neither are there ‘all-
weather’ friends nor
enemies. Perhaps this
was the reason why in
his Dussehra rally at
Shivaji Park, where Ud-
dhav Thackeray was
cursing BJP in his fer-
vent address on Oct 5,
sources reveal that on
occasion of Navratri,
Uddhav’s wife Rashmi
Thackeray and Maha-
rashtra’s Deputy CM
Devendra Fadnavis
have held a meeting at a
well known Mumbai
based businessman’s
residence. If sources
are to be believed, Fad-
navis is constantly try-
ing to make a deal be-
tween Uddhav’s Shiv
Sena once again. It is
said that this Navratri
party was organized by
businessman’s wife,
since Uddhav’s wife
Rashmi Thackeray is
one of her integral
friends, so an invitation
had already been sent
to her. Inviting Fad-
navis to the event, busi-
ness family had told
him ‘Rashmi is also go-
ing to come.’ And this
meeting of Rashmi
Thackeray Fadnavis
lasted for one and a half
hours. According to
sources, Fadnavis told
Rashmi ‘if your Shiv
Sena gives up its claim
for post of CM, then we
can come together. You
can also get the benefit
of this in BMC elec-
tions.” Fadnavis fur-
ther said that ‘Aditya
Thackeray will be given
full respect in this alli-
ance, but we should
avoid personal attacks
on each other’. It is said
that Rashmi asked Fad-
navis if his plans had
support of the central
leadership if it hap-
pens, what will you
do with Eknath
Shinde? To this Fad-
navis said, “Shinde is
our problem. Leave him
to us. He has MLAs
which you don’t have.”
Rashmi has promised
Fadnavis that she will
speak to Uddhav.
GEHLOT AGREED,
BUT WAS MAKEN’S
HANDLING OF RAJ
‘CRISIS’ IMMATURE?
What really tran-
spired during the
meeting between Sonia
Gandhi and Ashok Ge-
hlot when the political
whirlwind hit Ra-
jasthan Cong a few days
back. Highly placed
sources in grand old
party have revealed
that KC Venugopal had
accompanied Ashok
Gehlot to meet So-
nia but as soon
as Sonia entered
the room, she
signaled Venugo-
pal to vacate
room. She then
spoke bluntly with
G e h l o t
and, according to sourc-
es, an emotional Sonia
asked Gehlot an impor-
tant question, “I always
trusted 2 people blindly,
one was Ahmed Patel
and other is you. But I
was disappointed by
the developments in Ra-
jasthan.” Gehlot also
presented his explana-
tion on Sonia’s ques-
tion and said, “Madam,
your people have made
a mistake. Ajay Maken
was in a hurry. I was
ready to leave the post
of CM even before con-
testing for the post of
President, but your peo-
ple had already started
pressurizing the MLAs’
that they have to choose
their new leader now or
at least convey
their senti-
ments to
high com-
mand. I
tried to
meet Mak-
en and
make him
understand
but he did
n o t
even consider it neces-
sary to meet me. Where-
as Ajay Maken spoke to
Sachin Pilot at least ten
times that day. So
shouldnt I even defend
myself, mam?” On this,
Sonia replied to Gehlot
and said, “Cong will
have to do ‘face saving’
and ‘damage control’ in
Raj.” In such a situa-
tion, it was decided be-
tween the two leaders
that after the election
of Cong President, Cen-
tral Observers will be
sent from Delhi to Ra-
jasthan who will talk to
the MLAs in a group of
5 legislators each. Any
decision on the new
leadership will be taken
only when they explore
their mind.
AKHILESH’S ‘NO’ TO
NITISH’S ‘ROAD
MAP’ OF KURMI
POLITICS
Bihar CM Nitish
Kumar is taking
the 2024 general elec-
tion a little too seri-
ously and it is
likely that
in the 2024
general elections, Nit-
ish’s JDU will contest
from 17 LS seats in Bi-
har while 17 seats will
be given to RJD and the
remaining 6 seats for
Cong and Left. So, San-
jay Jha, a very close
friend of Nitish, has
advised him that ‘JDU
should contest more
elections on 15 Kurmi
dominated seats out-
side Bihar. JDU is also
going to field candi-
dates in MP, West Ben-
gal, Jharkhand, Odisha
and Gujarat. If sources
are to be believed, San-
jay Jha reached Luc-
know as Nitish’s spe-
cial envoy urged SP
supremo Akhilesh Ya-
dav to ‘organize meet-
ings for Nitish in Kur-
mi-dominated districts
like Basti,
Shravasti,
S i t a p u r,
Mirzapur
and Ba-
r e i l l y. ’
Akhilesh
listened to
Jha and said, “Give
time to think, I will re-
spond.” When Akhile-
sh’s call did not come
for a long time, then
Tejashwi called Akh-
ilesh at Nitish’s behest
and asked him his opin-
ion about this. He said
that “when my party is
not entering Bihar, why
do you want to come to
UP?” Tejashwi sensed
what Akhilesh said.
Mamata Banerjee also
had similar views about
this. Jharkhand CM He-
mant Soren said after
much hesitation that
‘he can give up one of
his seats for Nitish as
per agreement.’ MP’s
Rewa is also a Kurmi
dominated seat from
where Buddsen Patel
came for the first time
by winning the election
in 1996. But UP is slip-
ping out of Nitish’s
hands, where after Bi-
har, there is a 9 percent
Kurmi population. San-
jay Jha also hopes that
he will convince Akh-
ilesh for this soon.
TENSION IN KCR
FAMILY, BLAME ON PK
Even though the po-
litical ambitions of
Telangana CM Chan-
drashekhar Rao are to
rise to national stage,
all is not well in his
house. The differences
between his son KTR
daughter Kavita are
now visible in public.
Recently, when KCR
changed name of his
regional party ‘TRS’ to
‘BRS’ and made his in-
tentions clear that now
his eyes are on national
politics, his daughter
Kavita was absent. She
has not found a place in
the team of 87 leaders
in charge of campaign-
ing management for
by-election to be held in
Monogode assembly
seat of Telangana. KTR
himself is blaming elec-
tion strategist Prashant
Kishor and claims that
PK had come to Hy-
derabad to meet Kavita
and his cousin Harish
Rao. KTR suspects that
PK has put various ide-
as in kavita his broth-
er’s minds that they are
being sidelined in party
.
Since then, the rebel-
lion of Kavita has start-
ed taking shape. Any-
way, when a BJP MP
dragged Kavita’s name
in Delhi’s liquor scam,
party did not come to
her rescue. KTR has
also ex-
pressed
his
dis-
pleas-
ure
with PK.

Kota: In what could
be termed as a major
development, allega-
tions of misappropri-
ation under the guise
of Chief MinisterJan
Awas Yojana have
been levelled in Kota
wherein, Mukundra
Infra Project owners
are accused of illegal
construction without
approval. Mukundra
Prime Builder is ac-
cused of misappro-
priation of crores of
rupees through ille-
gal construction in
Kota’s Rajnagar
(Khasrano.362,362/2,
367 in Tehsil Ladpu-
ra).
The directors of
Mukundra Infra Pro-
ject - PC Jain and
Animesh Jain - are
accused of illegal ac-
tivity
. It has been al-
leged that they took
land at cheap rates
from the government
in the name of LIG-
MIG but instead,
made more than 350
luxury flats on the
land and are selling
them at high prices.
Allegations have also
been levelled of con-
structingcommercial
shops, showrooms,
and basements,
whereas, there is no
provision for doing
commercial activity
inChief MinisterJan
Awas Yojana. Moreo-
ver these commercial
e s t a b l i s h m e n t s ,
showrooms, and
basements are alleg-
edly constructed
against the rules and
maps in the project.
Moreover, the
builder is also ac-
cused of taking loans
worth crores from
banks in connivance
and it is further al-
leged that RERA
rules and deadlines
are also not being fol-
lowed in the project.
Itisallegedthatthe
construction of 8
floors was done by ig-
noring the rules of
height in the project
and now, despite all
this, the builder has
started preparing to
build one more floor.
Now the million-
dollar question is:
Will UDH Minister
Shanti Dhariwal take
cognizance of this en-
tire episode?
Builder flouts norms,
will Shanti Dhariwal
take cognizance?
Moreover, the builder is also accused of taking
loans worth crores from banks in conniv-
ance and it is further alleged that RERA rules and
deadlines are also not being followed in the project.
It is alleged that the construction of 8 floors was

Ziauddin Khan
Jaipur: Chief Minis-
ter Ashok Gehlot said
that the stronger the
MSME sector, the fast-
er the economic pro-
gress will be in the
State. “Today, MSMEs
contribute 30 percent
to the country’s GDP.
There are over 6 lakh
MSME industries in
Rajasthan and over
1.35 lakh exporters.
This sector provides
for maximum employ-
ment opportunities.
Keeping this in mind,
the State Government
has taken several poli-
cy decisions to pro-
mote MSMEs,” he said
adding that the future
of MSMEs in the State
is bright.
Gehlot was address-
ing the MSME Con-
clave and closing cere-
mony under Invest
Rajasthan Sum-
mit-2022 organised at
JECC, Sitapura on Sat-
urday.
The Chief Minister
said in the ‘Thinking
Big, Thinking Smart’
session of the MSME
Conclave that the Sum-
mit has created a new
investment climate in
the State.
Gehlot further said
that the State Govern-
ment is committed to
turn every MoU and
project into reality. He
assured the investors
that every officer and
employee of the State
Government will en-
sure timely fulfilment
of the needs of the in-
vestors.
Adding further, Ge-
hlot also said that the
entrepreneurs invest
only where there is a
good atmosphere.
The Chief Minister
also said that the pre-
sent dispensation un-
derstands the impor-
tance of MSMEs in the
State, their needs and
their difficulties. “The
new MSME policy
aims at increasing the
contribution of MS-
MEs in the State GDP
and exports,” he said.

othing expresses happi-
ness like flowers. They
have the remarkable capac-
ity to make people smile
and lift their spirits. That
is why flowery motifs and
patterns are always used
by designers in their collections. If
you’re anything like us, you prefer to
have flowers around you in some man-
ner, shape, or form, whether you have
fresh blossoms on your nightstand or
your favourite dress has flowers
over it. In the textile business, there
are several flower print and pattern
varieties, such as antique floral pat-
terns, tropical floral patterns abstract
and stylised floral patterns which are
the favourite of most women.
Florals may provide a splash of col-
our to Indian festival attires. It adds to
the festive atmosphere, floral prints
were prominent at numerous fashion
events, including Couture Fashion
Week SS21 in Paris. Chanel, Fendi,
Dior, Viktor Rolf and Giambattista
Valli, all embraced the freshness of
flowers in their designs. Florals have
been popular in fashion for millennia.
During special occasions, ancient
Greek and Roman ladies wore fra-
grant head crowns and garlands
composed of flowers, leaves, and
herbs. Floral motifs are stitched
with gold and silver threads
onto the velvet dresses of Eu-
rope’s affluent throughout the
Medieval Ages.

Florals are a sign of beauty and youthfulness, they are ageless
and that much is certain! City First brings you some most
romantic floral pieces to float around this season
FLORALS IN THREE DIMENSIONS
3D floral designs are an incredible
strategy to bring the charm of flowers
to life. “Team 3D floral blouses with
jeans, shorts, or even a smart pair
of joggers for a casual style.” When
paired and matched correctly, it may
also be the ideal day appearance. They
also look great for a sophisticated
party dress.
FLOWERS ON FLOWERS
If implemented right, print-
over-print looks may be a lot
of fun. “Flowery paired with
floral look remarkably good.
Floral designs stand out even
more when paired with stripes
and gingham. However, bear
in mind that over-styling
might ruin the effect.

JOURNEYOFCONFIDENCEFORTITUDE!
strong woman is a
woman deter-
mined to do some-
thing others are
determined not be
done.’ Disha Nar-
eda, a Jaipur-
basedmodelprovedthatshe
is the superwoman of her
times. When asked about
her journey the diva said,
“It all started in December
2020 when I came into the
field of modelling and pag-
eantry
, though I weighed 86
kgs but a confident girl. It
was when I actually started
giving auditions, I was told
toloseweight,andwaseven
laughed off at the stage for
the way I looked, the inci-
dence confidence shattered
the confidence of that
young19-year-oldintomany
pieces and she started hat-
ing my body
.”
She further said, “Fast for-
ward to the end of 2021, one
thing I realised was that
confidence comes from
within and you will shine
bright like a diamond the
dayyouacceptyourself and
love yourself for who you
are. I started working pa-
tiently towards my dreams,
by staying true to myself
and I lost weight the people
who laughed at me are now
working with me, and final-
ly, I got my dream opportu-
nity as Miss cosmos queen,
an all-inclusive agent. Out
of 90 semi-finalists, I was
selectedinthetop24.Learn-
ing from the other 23 girls
and mentors has been the
best part of the pageant. So,
it doesn’t matter how you
look, as long as you are con-
fident in yourself nothing
else matters.
It has been a journey of
hardships trying to accept
myself as I’m and Miss cos-
mos queen helped me in be-
ing able to cherish my own
true self.
As I go back home with a
heavy heart, I’m filled with
pride and I can hear my
younger self thanking me
for not giving up when
things got hard.
I believe it’s just the begin-
ning, there’s a long way
to go. If a shy, intro-
verted, chubby kid
can represent her-
self on a nation-
al platform so
gracefully,
then I be-
lieveanyone
and every-
one can
achieve what
they want in life
by putting the right
amount of work in.
And I am thankful to
Sculpt Talent Man-
agement to boost me
up with all the ener-
gy from the begin-
ning of my journey
. I
would be great full to
the team to make my
journey more easy
