submerged in flood wa-
ters of Chambal river.
Speaking to the me-
dia after the aerial sur-
vey in Baran, Gehlot
lashed out at the Centre
and demanded that the
Eastern Rajasthan Ca-
nal Project (ERCP) be
declared a national ini-
tiative. He said had it
been constructed, the
flood water from the
Kota barrage could have
been used in 13 districts
and flooding avoided.
“What are the hurdles
in declaring the ERCP a
national project, the
Centre must answer,”
Gehlot said. He appreci-
ated rescue efforts by
the administration,
Army
, NDRF, and SDRF.

OF RIVER FRONT: DHARIWAL
Kota: UDH Minister Shanti Dhariwal on
Thursday said that the Chambal River
Front is intact and nothing is going to
happen to it. He said that a section of
BJP, which is active in the politics of Kota
North, is sharing fake videos of the River

PEGASUS
SPYWARE: MUCH
ADO ABOUT
NOTHING, SAYS
APEX COURT PANEL
n a relief to the Cen-
tral government a
Supreme Court-ap-
pointed committee to
probe into the
Pegasus spyware scandal has
concluded that it did not find the
spyware in any of the 29 mobile
phones it examined. Instead, the
committee said in its report, that
some other malware was found
in five of the 29 mobiles. Headed
by former Supreme Court judge,
Justice RV Raveendran, the com-
mittee submitted its report to
the court. It means that the Cen-
tre did not snoop on hacks. The
committee’s only comment
against the government was that
it did not cooperate with the in-
quiry
. A three-judge bench of the
court headed by the outgoing
Chief Justice of India NV Ra-
mana said that the report may be
uploaded on the court’s website.
The sophisticated spyware
was alleged to have been used to
spy on journalists and impor-
tant functionaries in India. The
Guardian claimed that the
Pegasus was used in at least 50
countries, many of whom de-
nied using it.

I
he Jharkhand
Mukti Morcha
(JMM)-led coali-
tion government
is in the doldrums
as CM Hemant Soren faces
disqualification as MLA for
allegedly granting himself
andhisaidesmininglicences.
By doing so Soren is said to
have violated section 9-A of
theRepresentationof Peoples
Act, the basis on which the
BJP is seeking his disqualifi-
cation. A letter from the Elec-
tion Commission of India to
Governor Ramesh Bais in a
sealed envelope purportedly
suggests Soren’s disqualifica-
tion. The chief minister said
he did “not know anything as
of now about any order for
me”. In any case he is unlike-
ly to accept the EC verdict
without a challenge. Soren
has the option of challenging
the decision in a court and ap-
pointing someone else to run
the government.
It is now being speculated
that the Bharatiya Janata
Party may take advantage of
the unstable situation and
form a government of its
own. The party is said to be
counting on Congress legisla-
tors, some of whom cross-
voted in the elections for
President. Three others were
caught with unaccounted
cash in West Bengal. They
were subsequently arrested.
The Jharkhand govern-
ment is a coalition of JMM
(30), Indian National Con-
gress (16), RJD (1) and NCP
(1). The BJP has 26 MLAs. To
form a government it has to
carry out a Maharashtra-like
Operation Lotus to wean
away the Congress legisla-
tors. Given the state of disar-
ray the Congress is in, it may
not be impossible.
The charge against Soren
is serious. The chief minis-
ter, however, said that the
BJP was blatantly misusing
ED and the CBI.

T
IS A GLOBAL RECESSION
INEVITABLE?
he Big Question is a regular
feature in which Project Syn-
dicate commentators con-
cisely address a timely topic.
In this Big Question, we
ask Jeffrey Frankel, Anne O.
Krueger, Jim O’Neill, and
Stephen S. Roach how steep
the world economic down-
turn is likely to be.
JEFFREY FRANKEL
No. A global recession is en-
tirely avoidable.
True, the odds of a down-
turn are much higher than
usual in Europe, which has
been hit hard by reduced sup-
plies of Russian natural gas;
China, where COVID-19 lock-
downs already turned growth
negative in the second quar-
ter; and other countries, in-
cluding emerging-market
economieswithdebttroubles.
Even the US economy is ex-
periencing a slowdown. I still
maintain that the two con-
secutive quarters of negative
GDP growth reported by the
Bureau of Economic Analy-
sis do not signify that a US
recession started in the first
part of 2022. There are three
reasons for this. First-quarter
GDP will be revised on Sep-
tember 29, and second-quar-
ter GDP on August25; other
indicatorslikegrossdomestic
income (GDI) and employ-
ment were positive; and the
recession ruling is up to the
National Bureau of Econom-
ic Research. But rising inter-
est rates and the gloomy out-
look among America’s trad-
ing partners do mean that a
US recession is more likely
than usual at some point over
the next two years. But a
“global recession”? The Unit-
ed States is not the only place
where a negative growth rule
is not an agreed criterion for
defining recession.
Consider global GDP
. It has
been rare in the postwar pe-
riod for global growth to fall
below zero even for a single
quarter, let alone two. Not
even the severe downturns of
1974 and 1981 qualified. Even
in times of apparent reces-
sion, negative growth in ad-
vanced economies is usually
outweighed by still-positive
growth among emerging-
market and developing econ-
omies. (Two exceptions were
the 2008 global financial cri-
sis and the 2020 pandemic-
induced recession.)
ANNE O. KRUEGER
When the COVID-19 pandem-
ic began, people cut their
spending. Although unem-
ployment rose and supplies
fell sharply due to pandemic
containment measures, much
of the potential income loss
was offset by government
policies. In the United States,
itevenpaidtobeunemployed.
The result was that per-
sonal savings shot up. When
COVID-related restrictions
were later relaxed, demand
increased rapidly. Supply-
chain disruptions, the time
needed to restart production,
and continuing worker short-
ages resulted in significantly
slower supply responses.
The Fed’s balancing act is
difficult: Some, but not too
much, dampening of de-
mand is warranted. At the
same time, inventories (in-
creases in which partly re-
flected stockpiling during
supply shortages and will
inevitably be run down) are
beginning to accumulate and
retail sales are losing some
momentum. Whether the
Fed’s policy tightening will
check demand growth just
enough as supply increases
will determine whether in-
flationary or recessionary
pressures dominate in the
US. If policymakers’ judg-
ment is correct, the US could
re-attain the Fed’s target in-
flation rate and satisfactory
growth without falling into
recession.
JIM O’NEILL
In contrast to the common
practice in Western econo-
mies, a global recession is not
really defined as two consecu-
tive quarters of negative GDP
growth, because in many
large emerging economies,
suchasIndia,suchconditions
rarely arise. Even if many
Western economies are expe-
riencing back-to-back quar-
ters of negative growth, we
can end up with a “global”
recessioninwhichworldGDP
growth averages around 2%.
Over the past 25 years, the
US and China between them
often have accounted for
more than 80% of annual
global GDP growth. So, if
these two economies are both
in their respective versions
of recession, then that will
virtually guarantee a global
downturn. Given their cur-
rent weaknesses and chal-
lenges, such a scenario is
quite possible.
But I am less convinced of
this than I probably was a
few months ago. That is be-
cause there is creeping evi-
dence that the inflationary
surge has – at least so far –
been transitory, with com-
modity prices easing and
measures of long-term infla-
tion expectations quite sta-
ble. If this continues, central
banks will become less hawk-
ish and will not have to weak-
en their economies further to
stabilize prices.
STEPHEN S. ROACH
Notwithstanding the pitfalls
of forecasting anything these
days, my cracked and worn
crystal ball sees a global re-
cession occurring in the next
year.
For me, recession risk as-
sessment has always been a
two-step process: the stall-
speed alert and the impacts
of inevitable shocks. Econo-
mies – whether of single
countries or the world as a
whole – approaching the stall
speed lack the resilience to
withstandtheblowof shocks.
For the global economy
, the
last five recessions have all
occurred when world GDP
growth fell below the 2.5%
threshold. That represents a
one-percentage-point short-
fall from the post-1980 aver-
age of 3.5%. As such, when
global growth falls into the
2.5% to 3.5% range, my rule
is to sound a stall-speed alert.
The lower half of that range,
2.5% to 3%, is especially omi-
nous – a perfect predictor of
global recession.

T
Just as the world economy
appeared to be recovering
from the impact of the
COVID-19 pandemic,
headline GDP growth has
decelerated sharply or turned
negative in several leading
economies in 2022. And with
annual inflation in many
countries fast approaching
double digits, it is not easy to
see where global growth will
come from.
The International
Monetary Fund now
projects that global GDP
growth will slow from
6.1% in 2021 to 3.2%
in 2022 and 2.9% in
2023. That is a
momentous deceleration.
But it still leaves world
growth unlikely to meet a
two-negative-quarters
threshold.

Sharat K Verma
Patna: Bihar Chief
Minister Nitish Ku-
mar’s national cam-
paign will start next
month as there is a
meeting of the national
executive of his party,
Janata Dal-United
(JDU). This meeting
will be held in Patna on
September 3 and 4, in
which Nitish Kumar
will be positioned as
PM material on behalf
of the party
. Although a
similar positioning has
been done in the past as
well, but it is being said
that a ‘proposal’ can
also come in this meet-
ing. Informed leaders
of the party say that the
proposal can be accept-
ed in the meeting of the
National Executive that
if the opposition par-
ties agree, then Nitish
Kumar will be an-
nounced as the prime
ministerial candidate.
Keep in mind that
JD(U) is not taking any
initiative from its side
nor is it giving the mes-
sage that Nitish Kumar
is anxious to become
the prime ministerial
candidate. Unlike Delhi
Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal, Nitish and his
party are being very
careful. The party’s na-
tional president Rajiv
Ranjan Singh alias La-
lan Singh said that Nit-
ish Kumar has no ambi-
tion to become the
prime ministerial can-
didate but if the opposi-
tion parties ask, he will
be ready forit. Party
Parliamentary Board
President Upendra
Kushwaha said the
same thing in a differ-
ent style. He said JD(U)
would not create any
hurdle in opposition
unity
. That is, if the op-
position parties say
then Nitish will be the
contender and if the op-
position parties decide
the name of any other
leader, then JDU will
support the united op-
position.
It’s a very smart trick
and suits Nitish’s na-
ture perfectly
. He never
prefers to take the first
step and thus exposing
himself, rather he cre-
ates such situations
that others take the ini-
tiative. However, Nitish
Kumar will come to
Delhi after the party’s
national executive
meeting. After break-
ing rapport with BJP
and forming govern-
ment with RJD and
Congress, he has not
come to Delhi yet.
Tejashwi Yadav and La-
lan Singh had definitely
visited Delhi and said
that after the formation
of the cabinet, Nitish
will come to Delhi and
meet Sonia and Rahul
Gandhi.
It is possible that Nit-
ish will come to Delhi
only after the party’s
executive meeting and
meet both the top Con-
gress leaders. Apart
from the courtesy meet-
ing, the common politi-
cal strategy of the op-
position will also be
discussed then. It is be-
ing told that Nitish Ku-
mar and Arvind Kejri-
wal can also meet at
that time and K Chan-
drashekhar Rao can
also meet Nitish in Del-
hi. He is also likely to
meet Sharad Pawar.

The letter in this re-
gard was received by
Jharkhand Raj Bhavan

hearing in the Hemant
Soren mine leasing
case, in which the BJP
has accused him of ex-
tending himself a min-

the letter by ECI was
received by Jharkhand
Governor Ramesh Bais
office, but details of the
ECI opinion can’t be re-

sealed cover. On August
12, the legal team of
Soren concluded its ar-

Soren’s membership
will end. In such a
situation, Soren may
have to resign as the

Soren has a majority

after the resignation

pected after that. It is
not clear whether
Soren has also been
disqualified from con-

Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Nanda-
muri Taraka Rama Rao
ie NTR was the most
wondrous leader of
Andhra Pradesh and a
super star of Telugu
films. When he formed
the party, he formed the
government with a big
majority in the very
first election. Later his
son-in-law Chandraba-
bu Naidu took over his
party during his life-
time. Then some of
NTR’s children also
helped Naidu as NTR
had married a woman
much younger than
him and decided to
hand over the leader-
ship of the party to her.
Despite this, it is a fact
that Chandrababu
Naidu’s capture of the
party was not liked by
many in NTR’s family.
Only when Jr NTR has
become active, it is be-
ing said that history
can repeat itself.
Jr NTR is a super star
of Telugu films and is
the grandson of NTR.
His father Nandamuri
Harikrishna was a
Member of Parliament.
NTR Junior met former
BJP National President
and Union Home Minis-
ter Amit Shah in Hy-
derabad recently. It is
being told that Shah has
asked him to become ac-
tive in politics again. If
he comes back into ac-
tive politics, BJP can
make him the party
face. Keep in mind that
there is no place for
Junior NTR in his
grandfather’s party
TDP.
There, Chandrababu
Naidu’s son Nara Loke-
sh has taken over. Only
then is it possible that
NTR Jr. joins the BJP
and becomes a pivot of
Telugu politics. In
Andhra, the direct con-
test is between Jagan
Mohan Reddy’s YSR
Congress and TDP.
Will Junior NTR repeat NTR’s history?

INDIA 2047 IS MORE PROSPEROUS’
Tells Prez Droupadi Murmu to 175 IAS officers of 2020 batch in an interaction
New Delhi (ANI): 175
IAS officers of 2020
batch, currently deput-
ed to various ministries
and departments as As-
sistant Secretaries,
called on President
Droupadi Murmu at
Rashtrapati Bhavan on

Addressing the offic-
ers, the President said
as civil servants, they
have an important role
to play in the emergence
of India as a global hub
of knowledge, supply-
chain, innovation, tech-
nology-development
and various other fields.
At the same time, India
has to strengthen the
leadership position it
has taken in the areas of
socially inclusive and
environmentally sus-
tainable development.
Pointing to the fact that
by 2047, officers of 2020
batch will be among the
senior-most decision
makers, the President
said that by working
with passion and pride,
they can ensure that the
India of 2047 will be
much more prosperous,
strong and happy
. She
said for shaping that In-
dia of 2047, they have to
work witha modernand
service-oriented mind-
set. She noted that Mis-
sion Karmayogi is a ma-
jor initiative to make
civil servants more
modern, dynamic and
sensitive in approach.
President Murmu
said with tremendous
growth in infrastruc-
ture, it has become easi-
er to reach remote parts
of the country
. She said
it is expected from civil
servants to reach the
last person or the most
deprived person in their
area of responsibility
and improve her living
condition. They can
open up opportunities
for those who are not
aware of the welfare
schemes or develop-
ment programmes. She
reminded them that any
welfare initiative can be
rated truly successful
only if its benefits reach
the poor, the downtrod-
den and such other peo-
ple at the lowest strata
of society
. She said civil
servants should try to
reach such underprivi-
leged people. Under-
privileged should not be
put into the difficulty of
reaching them for help.

India’s strong economic
growth offers room for the
Reserve Bank of India to
raise rates by another 60
basis points as the central
bank seeks to stamp out
high inflation, DBS Group
Research said in a note on
Thursday
.
India’s gross domestic
product (GDP) in the first
quarter of current fiscal
year likely surged 16%
year-on-year based on most
leading indicators, the re-
search house estimated.
Favourable base effect after
the onset of Delta coronavi-
rus variant last year will
additionally lift the year-
on-year GDP numbers, Ra-
dhika Rao, senior econo-
mist at DBS Group Re-
search, wrote in the note.
It expects India’s first
quarter (April-June)
growth to be at 16%. The of-
ficial GDP is expected to be
issued on August 31. It
maintains an overall FY23
growth forecast at 7%,
whichwillseeIndiaemerge
as the fastest-growing
economy in Asia this year.
“Resumption in service
sector activity added to the
momentum, besides manu-
facturing,” Rao said.
Broad-based improve-
ment in vaccination rates
and relaxation of lock-
downs benefited urban
consumption, while unem-
ployment rates returned to
pre-pandemic levels, Rao
said. On the investment
side, “lead indicators have
been encouraging.”
India’s retail inflation
rate has remained above
RBI’s upper tolerance limit
for seven straight months.
“Public capex is likely to
be a bigger support in this
cycle as private sector par-
ticipation might be in the
slow lane, due to rising in-
put prices and renewed un-
certainty over the global
growth outlook,” Rao
wrote.

Affairs (CCEA), chaired by
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi.
The decision of the Cabi-
net “will now allow to put a
restriction on the export of
Wheat Flour which will en-
sure a curb on rising prices
of wheat flour and ensure
food security of the most
vulnerable sections of the
society,” an official state-
ment released on Thursday
said.
The Directorate General
of Foreign Trade (DGFT)
will issue a notification to
this effect.
Wheat flour exports
from India have registered
a growth of 200% during
April-July 2022 compared
to the corresponding peri-
od in 2021.
The increased demand
for wheat flour in the inter-
national market led to sig-
nificant price rise of the
commodity in the domestic
market.
RBI MPC Member Goyal
lauds govt’s reforms push
New Delhi (PTI): Eight
years of systemic econom-
ic reforms under the Modi
govt have increased India’s
macroeconomic stability
and its capacity to with-
stand any external shocks,
RBI Monetary Policy Com-
mittee (MPC) Member
Ashima Goyal has said.
“Just before the Modi
govt came in, the country
was facing serious macroe-
conomic instability after
the global financial crisis.”
“After 8 years of systemic
reforms, the economy has
been able to ride out more
severe global shocks with
macroeconomic stability, a
healthy financial sector,
food security and a govt and
industry that have learnt to
work together,” she said.

Jaipur: The recently
launched logo of the
Jaipur Commissioner-
ate has raised the need
and motive behind the
design, process and
launching programme
of the logo. Although it
has been 11 years since
the Jaipur police adopt-
ed Commissionerate
style of policing and
administration to main-
tain law and order in
the state capital, yet the
logo has been launched
now, however, that too is
not devoid of major
technical faults and
controversies.
Across the nation,
there are 61 cities
where Commissioner-
ate system of policing
is in existence. Half of
these Commissioner-
ates have their own
logos, but there is a ma-
jor common feature in
all of them — They
mention the name and
logo of the state police.
However, Jaipur po-
lice’s logo, which was
launched on August 10,
does not show Ra-
jasthan Police’s ‘Vijay
Stambh’ taken from the
Chittorgarh Fort, nei-
ther does it anywhere
mention the Rajasthan
Police. It merely men-
tions the Ashok symbol
along with Jaipur po-
lice written in Hindi.
Knowledgeable indi-
viduals claim this as
wrong as without the
Rajasthan police, nei-
ther can Jaipur police
have any existence, nor
its own separate iden-
tity
, as it is a force which
has territorial jurisdic-
tion under the aegis of
Rajasthan Police’s ter-
ritory. Thus, the legali-
ty of such a move is also
questionable.
Secondly, the Jaipur
Commissionerate was
formed through Cabi-
net approval and under
special Act in 2011 and
thus the logo cannot be
released without prior
approval of the State
Government. But this
due process has not
been followed. Talking
to First India over the
matter, ACS Home Ab-
hay Kumar said on the
matter, “ No approval
has been taken from the
Home Department to
change and release the
new logo, neither does
the department know
of such a development.”
Sources reveal that
logo launching was a for-
mal event for which ei-
ther of the MoS Home,
ACS Home or Secretary
,
Home should have been
present at the PHQ, but
none of them or any oth-
er government nominee
was invited. rather DGP
ML Lather, on his own,
released the logo, which
has been considered
wrongbyseveralbureau-
crats and polity alike.
Moreover, observers
have also pointed out
that on the said day,
DGP Lather was in a
civil dress, even though
the programme was
formal and official.
Following the protocol,
he should have been in
a proper police uni-
form befitting the DGP.

till last breath, CM clears air
‘Efforts will be made till last moment to persuade Rahul to be party president’
Ayushi Vijayvargiya
Kota/Baran: Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
on Thursday said he
won’t distance himself
from the state “till his
last breath”, amid re-
ports that he is the
frontrunner for the Con-
gress president’s post.
He also said that ef-
forts will be made till
the last moment to per-
suade Rahul Gandhi to
take over the reins of
the party again.
The Chief Minister
was in the Kota-Bundi
region to take stock of
the devastation
caused by the floods in
Hadoti region.
On being asked about
the issue of Congress
MLAs opening a front
against their own gov-
ernment regarding the
Jalore incident, He
said, “Everyone has the
right to speak in a de-
mocracy. There is free-
dom of speech, but par-
ty people should not
cross the Lakshman
Rekha. This harms the
party as well as their
interests.”
Terming it party’s in-
ternal matter, Maha-
rashtra Congress chief
Nana Patole on Thurs-
day asserted that de-
mocracy exists in the
grand old party and if
Rahul Gandhi is reluc-
tant than Rajasthan
Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot can become the
party chief.
“This is an internal
matter of the party
. Ra-
hul Gandhi doesn’t
want to be the party
president, this is com-
ing to light through the
media. If Ashok Gehlot
becomes the party
chief, there is no prob-
lem. There is democra-
cy in Congress,” said
Maharashtra Congress
chief Nana Patole.

FOR THE POST OF PARTY PRESIDENT,
STATE LEADERS PITCH FOR GEHLOT
Bikaner/Dausa: State leaders have started
pitching for Gehlot’s candidature as Congress
president. Chairman of Wasteland and Pasture
Development Board Sandeep
Choudhary and Women and
Child Development Minister
Mamta Bhupesh on Thursday
said Gehlot deserves the post.
“Rahul Gandhi becomes the
president, it is a common
worker’s wish. But it is a matter
of pride for Rajasthan if Ashok Gehlot becomes
the party president. Gehlot will also remain the
Chief Minister here and he can handle both the
posts because he is capable,” Choudhary said.
Bhupesh said, “The Central leadership will decide
about who will become the president.”

UNREGULATED DEPOSIT SCHEME PROHIBITION
Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot took two
major decisions on
Thursday
. On one hand,
the CM has issued noti-
fication of Rajasthan
Unregulated Deposit
Scheme Prohibition
Rules, 2022, which will
curb fraudulent multi-
state credit co-operative
societies. On the other
hand, the Chief Minis-
ter approved the propos-
al for cadre review of
gazetted officers of the
State Forensic Science
Laboratory in the inter-
est of the employees.
Gehlot has approved
the proposal to issue no-
tification of the Ra-
jasthan Unregulated
Deposit Scheme Ban
Rules, 2022 to protect the
interests of the deposi-
tors of the state. It is
noteworthy that in the
interest of investors,
there was a long-stand-
ing demand to strength-
en the provisions of the
earlier Act and to give
morepowerstotheState
Governments under the
Act to exercise more
control over these socie-
ties. With this approval
of CM Gehlot, along
with stopping the em-
bezzlement of hard
earned money of lakhs
of people of the state
due to fraud by multi-
state credit cooperative
societies, strict action
will be taken in interest
of the common man
against these societies.
Meanwhile, in anoth-
er important decision,
CM Ashok Gehlot has
approved the proposal
for cadre review of ga-
zetted officers of State
Forensic Science Labo-
ratory
. After the approv-
al, now the number of
postshasincreasedfrom
126 to 144. With the in-
crease of these posts,
there will be more qual-
ity and ease in the work
of laboratories.Also,the
case reporting work to
be presented before the
courts will get a boost
while divisional labora-
tories will also be
strengthened.
GRATUITY FOR STATE ROADWAYS
EMPLOYEES EVEN DURING INQUIRY

employees, during the board meeting of Rajasthan
Roadways, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot decided
that gratuity will be available even if any departmen-
tal or judicial case against any personnel is pending
or is under process. During this, 50% provisional
gratuity will be paid. Till now, during departmental
or judicial case against employees gratuity was not

stayed among the peo-
ple for about 15 minutes
and directed officials
for all arrangements.
“There is water eve-
rywhere. SDRF, Civil
Defence and NDRF
conducted timely res-
cue, hence there was
no casualty. There has
been a lot of damage to
the crops. Even
thatched houses
have collapsed. We
are getting a survey to
ascertain the losses,”
he said.
“As soon as ERCP be-
comes ready, the prob-
lem of flooding in Had-
oti will be solved,” CM
Gehlot added.

TWINING
TIDES!
Good vibes happen on the tides and
best of fashion happen on vacation,
City First brings to you the adorable
fashion from vacation!
s summer is slip-
ping away very
fast with the
pleasant and
balmy rain and I
still can’t believe
that August is al-
most gone. It is true when
we say ‘Summer means
happy times and good
sunshine, perfect weath-
er to heal and relax, but
ever wonder what we can
wear to make ourselves
shine in the scorching
heat in the day during the
vacation time. Because
Vacation has no fixed
time, when all else fails,
take a vacation. The sea-
son is the same. We’re the
ones who are changing.
Packing for a warm-
weather trip means
smashing the right bal-
ance between cosy and
trendy, and creating cute
beach vacation out-
fits that look ef-
fortless–which,
ironically, can
be stressful.
The idea of
an escape is to
de-stress and
have fun, so
instead of get-
ting fraz-
zled
over what to wear to the
beach and beyond during
your next trip, take style
inspiration from some of
the best-dressed ladies
under the sun.
Cropped or Traditional
White Tee, Cropped Trou-
sers, Bucket Hat, Multi-
faceted Mini Skirt, Pair
Of Blue Jeans there are
so much to choose from
but remember when on
vacation less is more.
Leaving all chic sexy out-
fits at home and choosing
comfort is a top priority.
Wearing matching sets
set is breezy enough for
the beach but elevated
enough for sightseeing or
seaside dinner. Just dress
it up with minimalist
heeled sandals.
If you wish to avoid
feeling hot or cold, layer-
ing is the way to go. This
way you can take some-
thing off when you start
to overheat and put some-
thing on when you feel
chilly.
In addition, layered
outfits always look more
stylish. For example, a
cute dress paired with a
comfy cardigan and a
lightweight scarf will
look great on you and
keep you cosy during
your trip.

A

hen it comes to
complete nutri-
ents, you get
them from sal-
ads because sal-
ads aren't heat-
ed or micro-
waved, so their nutri-
ents don't spoil. The sal-
ad itself is rich in fibre,
protein and minerals. In
this, you get nutrients
like vitamin C, E, A, beta
carotene etc.
WHEN TO EAT SALAD
Salads should always be
consumedbeforemeals,it
reduces appetite while
eating and takes fewer
carbohydrates(roti/rice).
Along with this, your
weight control and the
lack of nutrients in the
body are also removed.
HOW MUCH TO EAT
The amount can be in-
creased depending on
the amount each indi-
vidual should give based
on their lifestyle. A
healthy person can com-
fortably eat 1 bowl or
half a plate of salad.
TYPES OF SALAD
Nowadays food fusion
has happened, due to
which variety is found
in salads. We mix many
nutrients to make them
colourful and tasty. Veg-
etable, fruit and sprout
salad is mostly pre-
ferred in India. which is
like this:-
VEGETABLE SALAD
This is for people who are
on a low-calorie or low-fat
diet. to like
Cabbage Salad: Cabbage
is thinly sliced and taken
by adding black salt,
lemon juice, red pepper,
green coriander, celery
strips, vinegar, and black
pepper.
Mix Vegetable Salad:
You can make the salad
by adding broccoli, green
capsicum, cherry tomato,
carrot, flax seed, garlic,
salt, pepper, spices, white
vinegar etc.
FRUITS SALAD
To increase immunity in the
body, you can take salads
rich in fruits and vegeta-
bles. Papaya, pomegranate,
banana, kiwi, orange, apple,
honey, cream or curd,
chaat masala, mint, parsley,
lemon juice, art salt, black
pepper etc. can be taken.
Fruit salad should not
be taken during the
day and after
meals as the
b l o o d sugar
level rises.
SPROUT SALAD
It is made of protein,
vitamin C, B like
Moong Sprout Salad:
Add sprouted moong dal,
chana, rajma and soybean
and mix well. Now add
finely chopped tomatoes,
chopped green chillies,
roasted cumin, a pinch
of asafoetida, olive oil
and lemon juice to the
sprouts, mix all these
