No division within us,
claims Col Bainsla as
he invites govt to talk
Bharatpur: The Gur-
jar agitation which
started on Monday ap-
pears to be divided into
two factions after just
one day of agitation. On
Tuesday, Gurjar leader
Kirori Singh Bainsla
finally joined his son
Vijay, on railway tracks
wherein the father-son
duo in unison said that
they are steadfast on
their demands. “We did
not want minister
Ashok Chandana to
meet us on tracks at
night hence a talk could
not happen,” Kirori
Bainsla said and again
gave an invite to Chan-
dana to hold talks.
Meanwhile, Bainsla
junior stressed that if
Chandana can not come
then Dr Raghu Sharma
or any other leader can
come to hold talks.
Members of Gurjar
community on Monday
continued their protest
demanding reservation
in jobs and education as
a ‘most backward class’
(MBC) community.
Gurjar leader Kirori
Singh Bainsla said the
agitation will continue
until their demands are
met. Speaking to ANI,
Bainsla said, “We will
continue our agitation
till our demands are
met. The government
should accept our de-
mands as early as pos-
sible.” Bainsla said
there is unity in the
community and those
who were saying that
the community has
been divided into two
factions are wrong.
“Through this agita-
tion, it is clear that our
community is not divid-

Jaipur: The Rajasthan
Electricity Regulatory
Commission (RERC)
has issued terms and
conditions for the deter-
mination of tariff from
renewable energy
sources in the state.
The regulation shall
be applicable for the de-
termination of tariff
from April 1, 2020, to
March 31, 2024.
RERC secretary BK
Dosi informed that the
commission has incor-
porated the criteria for
various new technolo-
gies. These include non-
thermal based projects,
small hydro plants, mu-
nicipal solid waste and
floating solar PV, re-
newable hybrid energy
projects, and storage
projects.
He said that captive
and other renewable en-
ergy producers have
been given relief in the
draft regulation.
The producers will
now have to pay the
wheeling charge per
unit rather than utiliza-
tion capacity which will
significantly reduce the
wheeling charges.
Apart from this, a 75
percent discount has
been given for intra-
state transmission
charges and wheeling
charges for the first 7
years of the project.
To promote electric
vehicle charging sta-
tions, solar power
plants have been given
a 100 percent exemption
from captive basis or
open access for 10 years.
Provision has also
been made for repower-
ing wind power plants
and consideration will
be made on the existing
wind power plants
which have completed
10 years.
The draft regulation
says that the connectiv-
ity charge of renewa-
ble energy projects will
now be Rs 2.5 lakh per
MW. Cross subsidy or
an additional sur-
charge will not be there
on captive power
plants.
It has also been pro-
posed that the plants
will be able to use the
banked energy
throughout the year.

Jaipur: Opposition
BJP on Monday, op-
posed the farm bills in-
troduced by the Con-
gress government to
counter the central
laws.
The state govern-
ment has brought The
Essential Commodities
(Special Provisions and
Rajasthan Amendment)
Bill, 2020; Farmers’
(Empowerment and
Protection) Agreement
on Price Assurance and
Farm Services (Ra-
jasthan Amendment)
Bill, 2020; and Farmers’
Produce Trade and
Commerce (Promotion
and Facilitation and Ra-
jasthan Amendment)
Bill, 2020 to bypass the
central laws.
The Rajasthan as-
sembly on Monday
passed three bills by
voice vote to counter
the farm laws enacted
by the Centre recently.
The BJP MLAs
staged a walkout ahead
of the voice vote.
Replying to a debate
on the farms bills, Ra-
jasthan Parliamentary
Affairs Minister Shanti
Dhariwal said that the
entire country is
against the farm laws
enacted by the Union
government.
He said the laws en-
acted by the Centre will
take the farmers to cre-
mation grounds.
Dhariwal said that
farmers were free to sell
its produce anywhere
in the country in the ex-
isting system.
“Farmers were free
to sell their produce
anywhere in the coun-
try and you are saying
that you have freed
farmers. You have
worked to hand over ag-
riculture mandis di-
rectly in the hands of
corporate houses,” Dha-
riwal said.
The Parliamentary
Affairs Minister said
that when Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi was
Chief Minister of Guja-
rat, he had advocated to
make procuring crops
on MSP mandatory but
now everything has
changed. He said that
the Centre did not work
on the formula to calcu-
late MSP as suggested
by the Swaminathan
Commission.
“None of the three
laws has a mention
about MSP. So, why
should we not have sus-
picion and why should
we not raise allega-
tions,” he said. He said
that when Adani (com-
pany) will purchase the
farm produce then who
will go to mandis.
Targeting the prime
minister, Dhariwal said
that people want to
make India the leader
of the world but Modi
wants to make Ambani
the richest person of
the world.

Nagaur: A test report
has confirmed that
farmers in Nagaur were
supplied poor quality
gypsum, a source of cal-
cium and sulfur, this
year.
The agriculture de-
partment had collected
samples in July and
September from gyp-
sum bags in agriculture
fields after news re-
ports questioning the
quality of gypsum were
forwarded to a Jodhpur
based laboratory, which
has now confirmed that
the gypsum was of very
poor quality.
Royal Chemicals and
Fertilizers had supplied
the gypsum to farmers
on government aid from
May to August this year
for improving the qual-
ity of soil.
An official of the ag-
riculture department,
Hazari Ram, said that
the testing report has
confirmed poor quality
of gypsum and the firm
has been issued notice
in this regard, the offi-
cial further added while
sharing information.
The payment to the
company will also be
stopped, he said.
assembly on Monday
passed a bill making it
mandatory for people to
wear face masks in both
private or public means
of transport and while
attending any social or
political events.
The assembly provid-
ed for the new anti-COV-
ID measure by amend-
ing the Rajasthan Epi-
demic Act, with Ra-
jasthan Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot asserting
that face masks are the
sole anti-COVID vac-
cine as of now.
The House passed the
Rajasthan Epidemic
(Amendment) Bill, 2020
by voice vote. The Bill
also made the new pro-
vision by seeking to add
a new clause in section
4 of the Act.
The new clause pro-
poses to prohibit the
movement of any per-
son in public without
properly covering his
mouth and nose with a
face mask.
The statement of rea-
sons and objects of the
Bill said, “Health ex-
perts all over the world
are of the opinion that
the use of the mask can
help in controlling the
spread of Covid-19 con-
siderably and save lives
of millions.” While re-
plying to the debate on
the Bill in the House,
Parliamentary Affairs
Minister Shanti Dhari-
wal said the fight
against coronavirus in-
fection can be won only
with the support of the
general public.
While approving the
Bill, the House reject-
ed an amendment pro-
posal to circulate the
Bill for seeking public
opinion.
Chief MinisterAshok
Gehlot earlier said in a
tweet that Rajasthan
will be the first state in
the country to enact a
law making it manda-
tory to wear masks for
protection against coro-
navirus infection.

‘ STATE HAS NO RIGHT TO BRING BILLS AGAINST CENTRE’
During debate in the
Assembly, Deputy LoP
Rajendra Rathore said
that the state has no
right to bring these bills
against the central laws.
He even went on to say
that the state govern-
ment has used such
language in the bills as
if the central laws were
enacted by the Govern-
ment of Pakistan and
not by the Government
of India. Rathore said
that farmers are free to
sell their produce in any
market of the country
and this will free them
from Inspector rule.

hen it comes to dealing with Cov-
id-19 Rajasthan and Delhi present
contrasting pictures. Even as Del-
hi battles a second wave of the pan-
demic with hospitals running
short of ICU beds with ventilators, the govern-
ment has allowed up to 200 guests at weddings.
Rajasthan on the other hand is doing every-
thing to keep the numbers in check. The na-
tional capital has been recording over 5,000
Covid-19 cases a day for the last few days now.
In the last 24 hours, it recorded 5,664 cases. On
October 31 the cases were 5062. As per the
Delhi government’s mobile app on corona, out
of the total 1244 ICU beds available 825 were
occupied on Monday morning. In private hos-
pitals, all 84 beds with ventilators were occu-
pied. The situation was only slightly better in
the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences,
where five out of 50 ICU beds were available.
Government-run Safdarjung Hospital had
only one ventilator-linked bed out of 54 avail-
able in its ICU. In a situation like this people
were seen moving around without masks in
several busy areas. Whatever may be the con-
tribution of air pollution and falling tempera-
tures in the spike, the role of the people in the
spiraling cases cannot be underestimated.
That is why Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok
Gehlot’s statement on a law making mask-
wearing compulsory (as mask is vaccine) is in
the better interest of the people. Rajasthan
becomes the first state to have such a law. Ge-
hlot also banned the sale and bursting of fire-
crackers not just for the environment but also
for the health of Covid patients.

here is a famous shlok in the
Bhagwat Gita, “Karmanyewa-
dhikaraste ma faleshu ka-
dachna” - Do your work with
utmost sincerity without
thinking about the fruit it will
fetch. This applies to the busi-
nessman most aptly. In busi-
ness whoever adopts this ap-
proach with patience, achieves
excellence sooner or later.
If you work with dedication,
honesty, and courage, you are
bound to be successful. This is
an unquestionable fact. If an
employee lacks that out and out
audacious spirit, it is fine but
an entrepreneur has to be fear-
less and courageous. In busi-
ness, one faces challenges of
varying proportions constantly.
Also at various stages, one has
to have a quick and decisive
mind for the opportunities aris-
ing or there is a possibility of
taking wrong decisions in deli-
cate phases. For an industrial-
ist, to identify and take the
right decision at the right mo-
ment and to identify the right
opportunity at the right time,
this is a skill that he needs to
master, and being dauntless at
such times is of utmost impor-
tance. The businessman who
lacks a daredevil spirit has very
little ability to take the right
decisions. Such people miss out
on many promising opportuni-
ties, and eventually, they lose
the capability of providing any
growth to the company.
Let us take an example of
two friends. Two very close
friends started a company by
the brand name ‘Spacewood’ in
Nagpur in 1994. Both studied
engineering together and be-
came friends. After gradua-
tion, they searched for such a
job that would give them time
to do business alternately. Be-
ing valiant was an inherent
quality that the two of them
possessed from the very begin-
ning. Initially, they worked in
VIP and Godrej, as apprentices
and learned the tasks very ef-
ficiently. They learned the art
and technology of making
modular furniture quite skill-
fully. They also studied the de-
veloping technologies in vari-
ous other countries. These two
friends are Vivek Deshpande
and Kirit Joshi.
After doing a job for two
years, they left their jobs in
1994. After which these two ad-
venturous friends took a loan
from the bank and bought two
locally made woodworking ma-
chines and started their own
business. They started working
under a small shade. Their en-
thusiasm and precision in
their work attracted many cus-
tomers initially, who were very
impressed with their work.
Within a very short span of
time, they hired old woodwork
machines from VIP Company
and raised their business to
new heights. In the first year
itself, Vivek and Kirit did a
business of Rs. 19 lacs. With old
machines, they faced many un-
wanted issues. In 1996, with
their own money, they import-
ed for the very first time, a new
machine from Germany.
During this phase, they faced
numerous ups and downs, but
due to their positive, enterpris-
ing, and dauntless nature, they
were able to survive and sus-
tain.Thefirstlessonof theirlife
whichtheylearnedwasthatone
should never be dependent on
one customer and take risk
Due to their bold and heroic
spirit, every year their compa-
ny’s growth kept on increasing.
For a few years in between,
they faced financial crises, but
they did not give in and with
enthusiasm and patience, they
kept on moving ahead. A turn-
ing point came in Vivek’s and
Kirit’s company in 2007.
Kishore Biyani started the
chain of “Home Town” stores.
To turn your house into a
home, the essential furniture
was readily available at Home-
Town. After relentless efforts,
their company was finally se-
lected by HomeTown for Modu-
lar Kitchen. This day became
the golden day in their lives,
according to the two of them.
Within no time, in barely 5
days, they got an order from
Big Bazaar to make 1000 modu-
lar kitchens. Their small com-
pany moved towards becoming
a huge organization.
For their success, both the
young entrepreneur friends ad-
mit that they possessed a fear-
less spirit right from their
childhood, which stood as their
biggest advantage. We have
mastered the art of taking cal-
culated risks. We have very re-
ligiously adopted the slogan,
“No success without a dare-
devil approach.” We are very
enthusiastic and want to
achieve a lot more in our en-
deavors. We have learned a lot
from foreign markets and we
have in-depth knowledge about
what will work or not work in
the Indian market scenario.
The conclusion is if you have
the courage then in today’s
time with less investment you
can earn more. The prerequi-
sites are courage, will power,
adventurous, undefeatable
spirit, and enthusiasm. If you
wish to start your own busi-
ness, courage is prime.

overage of the
passing of Sir
Sean Connery
has inevitably
been dominated
by his legacy as the screen’s
first – and best – James
Bond. Connery’s “Bond,
James Bond” moment near
the beginning of Dr. No
(1962) is one of the iconic
momentsof cinemahistory
and has spawned countless
imitations and parodies.
Perhaps the most persis-
tent myth about Connery,
who was 90, is that he was
an “unknown” actor who
was plucked from obscuri-
ty by Bond producers Al-
bert “Cubby” Broccoli and
Harry Saltzman, who re-
portedly cast him against
the wishes of author Ian
Fleming and distributor
United Artists. But this is
to ignore the fact that Con-
nery had already estab-
lished himself as a televi-
sion actor, drawing critical
plaudits for lead roles in a
1957 BBC production of
RequiemforaHeavyweight
and in the 1961 TV produc-
tion of Anna Karenina, but
also appearing in a number
of meaty co-starring roles
in Hollywood films, includ-
ing opposite Lana Turner
in Another Time, Another
Place (1958).
It was reportedly his ap-
pearance in Disney’s fan-
tasy Darby O’Gill and the
Little People (1959) that
drew Connery to the notice
of Broccoli’s wife, Dana,
while the British crime
drama The Frightened
City (1961), in which Con-
nery as an underworld en-
forcer steals the picture
from its nominal star John
Gregson, was also evidence
of a star in the making.
Nevertheless Connery
was inspired casting as
James Bond. Connery
made the role his own to
such an extent that it is
now impossible to imagine
any of the other actors said
to have been considered –
including Cary Grant, Da-
vid Niven, Patrick Mc-
Goohan and even Roger
Moore – stepping into the
shoes of “the gentleman
agent with the licence to
kill” in 1962.
In this context an impor-
tant point to remember
about Bond is that Flem-
ing’s character was not an
Old Etonian establishment
figure: he is even described
in Moonraker as being “al-
ien and unEnglish”. Con-
nery’s working-class Scot-
tish roots – he was born
and grew up in Edinburgh,
where his early jobs had
included milkman, brick-
layer and coffin-polisher –
imbued his Bond with that
sense of “otherness”.
To this extent Connery’s
Bond has as much in com-
mon with the outsider pro-
tagonists of the British
new wave – Laurence Har-
vey, Albert Finney, Richard
Harris – as the tradition of
British screen heroism in-
carnated by stars of the
1950s such as Richard Todd
and Kenneth More.
Bond brought Connery
fame and fortune. He was
paid a mere £6,000 for Dr
No, four times that amount
for From Russia With Love
and a then-record US$1.25
million for his first Bond
“comeback” in 1971’s Dia-
monds Are Forever
(George Lazenby had taken
the role for On Her Majes-
ty’s Secret Service in 1969).
The lucrative remunera-
tion meant that Connery
was able to pick and choose
his roles outside the Bond
pictures. Indeed his non-
Bond roles demonstrate
just how versatile an actor
Connery was. Alfred Hitch-
cock cast him against type
as Tippi Hedren’s conflict-
ed husband in Marnie
(1964), and he excelled in
two films for Sidney Lu-
met, as the rebel-with-a-
cause in the hard-hitting
military prison drama The
Hill (1965) and as a venge-
ful policeman in the much
underrated The Offence
(1973).

INDIAJAIPUR | TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2020
Patna: Nitish Kumar,
facing twin attacks
from opposition leader
Tejashwi Yadav and al-
ly-turned-rival Chirag
Paswan in the Bihar
election campaign,
tackled them both in a
tweet on Monday. Those
who are in politics “by
inheritance” had no
idea of what he had
done for Bihar, the
Chief Minister tweeted.
“Those who have got
everything in inherit-
ance have no idea of the
struggle of karmveers
(those who do their
duty). I have sacrificed
everything for Bihar.
Service is my devo-
tion,” Nitish Kumar
tweeted in Hindi with
newspaper headlines of
his campaign with
Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi.
Tejashwi Yadav and
Chirag Paswan also
amped up their attacks
on the Chief Minister a
day before the second
round of voting for the
Bihar election.
“Nitish Kumar is un-
able to handle Bihar.
There are vacant jobs in
education, health and
law and order. We’re
asking the public to
give us a chance so we
can do what Nitish Ku-
mar couldn’t achieve in
15 years. His bidai (fare-
well) is guaranteed and
a mahagatbandhan gov-
ernment coming to
power,” Tejashwi Yadav
told reporters this
morning.
The Rashtriya Janata
Dal (RJD) leader also
responded sharply to
Nitish Kumar deriding
him and Chirag Paswan
as a “cricketer and ac-
tor using him for pub-
licity”.
“What has happened
to Nitish Kumar? Being
such an experienced
politician, how can he
talk like that? Can we
not come into politics
from cricket and films?
Does he mean that doc-
tors, engineers can’t
come either,” he ques-
tioned. “If Nitish is
kuan, Tejashwi is khai
(loosely translated to
mean a choice between
the devil and the deep
sea), LJP-BJP will form
government,” he said.

Nitish unable to handle Bihar : Tejashwi
Patna: RJD leader
Tejashwi Yadav on
Monday, reiterated that
Bihar chief minister
Nitish Kumar was una-
ble to govern the state
and urged the people to
give the Opposition’s
Grand Alliance a
chance in the Bihar as-
sembly elections that
are underway. The
Grand Alliance’s chief
ministerial candidate
promised that if voted
to power, they would do
what the Janata
Dal(United) president
couldn’t in the past 15
years.
“Nitish Ji is not able
to handle Bihar... We’re
asking the public to give
us a chance, so we can
do what CM couldn’t
achieve in 15 years,” Ya-
dav was quoted as say-
ing by news agency
ANI. He alleged that in
the National Democrat-
ic Alliance (NDA) gov-
ernment’s reign, there
are only 77 policemen
per lakh population in
the state and added
that job vacancies have
not been filled. RJD,
meanwhile, has prom-
ised to employ one mil-
lion people if it comes
to power.
Is it wrong to
come from a
cricketing or
film background?
Then where should
the person come
from? Then according
to this logic, a doctor
and engineer should
not join politics.
What has happened
to Nitish Ji, he is
making such a low-
level statement. Go-
ing by his statement,
he doesn’t look like a
CM.

between Ya’an in south-
west Sichuan province
and Linzhi in Tibet,
close to the Indian bor-

such project in Tibet af-
ter the Qinghai-Tibet
Railway. It will go
through the Qinghai-
Tibet Plateau, one of
the world’s most geo-

court that Mallya can-
not be extradited to In-

cret” legal process in
the United Kingdom,
which is “judicial and
confidential in nature
is resolved”.

India has been press-
ing the UK to extradite
Mallya after he lost his
appeals in the British
Supreme Court in May
against his extradition
to India to face money
laundering and fraud
charges.
“Now, we have been
told that there is a se-
cret legal matter and
that his extradition
cannot take place with-
out its resolution... We
are in touch with the

quisition Act,” Dhariw-
al said.
Dhariwal’s concerns
were echoed by senior
minister BD Kalla as
well who said that the
purpose of bringing for
the bills was to stop
black marketing. “The
central bills are not fac-
tual. If anyone indulges
in black marketing,
then we will be able to
take action against
them. We have the right
to form laws in state ac-
cording to the Constitu-
tion. Centre’s law is
against our state and
what we have thus
brought forward is logi-
cal and against black
marketing,” Kalla said.
Meanwhile, Leader
of Opposition Gulab
Chand Kataria said the
Centre’s farm laws were
not introduced in Par-
liament all of a sudden.
Kataria said the laws
were made after taking
into account recom-
mendations of the Swa-
minathan Commission,
which talked about one
nation, one market;
contract farming; and
abolition of indirect
mandi taxes.
The Congress has
brought the bills in the
Rajasthan Assembly

ers in New Delhi happy,

54 assembly...
Counting of votes will
be held on November
10. All eyes are riveted
on MP where the BJP
which has 107 MLAs in
the assembly, with an
effective strength of
229, needs at least eight
more MLAs for a simple
majority.
The stakes are high
for the Congress too as
it had sitting MLAs in
27 seats out of 28 in the
state.
The saffron party is
fielding 31 candidates
in MP, Gujarat and Kar-
nataka who had won
from the Congress tick-
et but switched sides
and resigned, necessi-
tating the by-elections
in those seats.
In UP, the BJP, which
has a comfortable ma-
jority in the Assembly,
is locked in a battle of
prestige on the seven
seats six of which it had
won in the last election
while one was with the
SP. Assembly bypolls
will also be held in Ch-

Earlier today, the SC
stayed the EC’s decision
to revoke Kamal Nath’s

ferred to BJP leader

had later expressed re-
gret over his remarks
and said he did not in-
tend to insult anyone.
However, he said
there was no need for
him to apologise. “Why
should I apologise when
I did not intend to insult
anyone? If anyone felt

CHANGE-IN
THE POWER!
Now that Niranjan Arya has
become the Chief Secretary
of Rajasthan, there will be a few
changes too in the ‘power equation’
in bureaucracy.
During DB Gupta
and Rajeeva
Swarup’s tenure
as CS, the CMO
was the ‘power
centre’, however,
now the CS Office
could also emerge as another
centre. This is so since Gehlot has
complete faith and trust in Niranjan
Arya’s capabilities and work ethics
which matches Gehlot’s and also
since both Arya and Kuldeep
Ranka are simple and ‘straight
forward’ officials who enjoy a good
understanding among themselves.
EFFICIENT RANKA!
The recent IAS rejig in Rajasthan
has brought to fore the important
roles played by two of the most
important bureaucrats in the state
ie Chief Secretary Niranjan Arya and
Principal Secretary
to Chief Minister
Kuleep Ranka.
Hours before the
state government
released the
transfer list, Arya
and Ranka were
present at CMR, mulling over the
‘placements’ and important charges
to be accorded to which officer.
Being the Principal Secretary, Ranka
did an exemplary job and therefore,
after the list was relesed, the entire
bureaucracy was abuzz that the
transfer list has a visible ‘stamp’
of Kuldeep Ranka which Gehlot
endorsed since Ranka knows the
style and functioning of Gehlot who
gave the final seal of approval for
the important responsibilities to
bureaucrats based on their seniority
and merit.
PRITHVI-RAJ
COULDN’T RAJ!
One of the major change brought
by the IAS transfer list is the
removal of Finance Secretary
(Revenue) Dr Prithviraj. The
bureaucrat had a field day while on
the post since he had become the
de-facto ‘whole
and sole’ of the
Excise Department
to the tune
that he started
superseding the
department’s
ACS! First India,
time and again, had highlighted the
‘activities’ of Dr Prithviraj which had
caused much discomfort among
the state’s bureaucracy.

and if the government
cannot do that, it should
announce a financial
package for schools so
that salaries of the staff
can be paid.

Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: The state gov-
ernment has decided to
increase the expendi-
ture of food items to
provide supplementary
nutrition in sports hos-
tels run by the Tribal
Regional Development
(TAD) department and
the mess expenditure
in the women’s houses
run by the Social Jus-
tice and Empowerment
Department. Chief
Minister Ashok Ge-
hlot has approved the
proposals of the con-
cerned depart-
ments for this.
As per the pro-
posals, supple-
mentary food is to
be made available
to the players in
the 13 sports hos-
tels run by the
TAD department.
Dieticians are of
the opinion that
each player is re-
quired
t o
be given a supplemen-
tary diet of 500 grams.
Therefore, it has been
approved to increase
the amount of expendi-
ture on food items from
Rs 2400 per month to Rs
2600 per month.
Similarly, a propos-
al has been approved
to increase the

siding in Mahila Sad-
an Jaipur and Nari
Niketan operated in
Ajmer, Bharatpur, Bi-
kaner, Jodhpur, Kota,

increase in nutritional
expenditure and mess
expenditure, the state
government will have
to bear an additional
financial burden of
about Rs 44.5 lakh per
year.

fter months in lock-
down, fashion hous-
es have returned to
work with an urge to
rethink everything,
most notably the
fashion shows. Since
most of the major beauty pag-
eants are being organised on-
line, Yogesh and Nimisha
Mishra from the Fusion
Group Jaipur has also decid-
ed to go virtual with the re-
nowned ‘Miss Rajasthan 2020’
beauty pageant. What makes
it even more interesting is the
new format of the show- the
‘Reality Show’ format,
where Miss Rajasthan
2020 will be telecasted
in the series of various
episodes on Youtube.
Present during the
event will be Queen
Chaperon Simran
Sharma, Chaperons
Kanchan Khatana and
Aruna Beniwal, and
Chaperons Mittali
Kaur and Mansi
Bainada.
Talking more
about the show,
organiser Yo-
gesh Mishra said, “The most
awaited and prestigious show
of Rajasthan, Miss Rajasthan
2020, will not lose its grand-
ness due to COVID; we will put
together all the safety meas-
ures to make sure the grand
execution of the show. The en-
tirejourneyof MissRajasthan
2020 from workshops, to make-
over classes, talent rounds,
and the grand finale will be
streamed online this time.”
Talking about the New Nor-
mal in the fashion industry,
Simran Sharma shared, “I
have felt a few basic changes
as far as the new normal is
concerned. Carrying match-
ing mask with my costume
has been a style statement in
itself yet being seemingly
careful about COVID. The
number of people in outdoor
shoots has significantly less-
ened to follow proper social
distancing norms. Online
pageants have come up, where
right from the walk to the
Q&A round have started
streaming online.”
Kanchan Khatana, Miss Ra-
jasthan 2019 stated, “Fashion
shows are back with a bang
and the new normal is walk-
ing on-ramp with full confi-
dence and grace even if there
is a minimal audience. I’m lov-
ing the new normal!”
Mittali Kaur said, “The best
medicine today to save our-
selves from COVID is social
distancing and mask. We can
safely use our dupatta to cover
the face properly better than a
mask. Be safe and healthy.”
“The fashion industry has
been hit badly because of the
pandemic but designers are
staying positive and chalking
out new strategies to keep
their businesses afloat. Yester-
day at picture box glam fest,
designs of Nishant and Preeti,
Vivek Ladda’s jewellery have
been showcased by Miss Ra-
jasthan models and during
this situation of COVID,
things were managed
properly and safely,” said
Mansi Bainada.
Aruna Beniwal
shared, “During COV-
ID-19peoplearebecom-
ing more creative and
shifting towards the
comfy stylish looks.
As economies open
slowly, those who
survive will be the
ones who realize
that the fashion
industry will
have a new nor-
mal and adapt
their strategies
accordingly.”

FACEOFTHEDAY
AASHNA HEGDE, Content Creator
LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
Don’t run behind people if
they don’t want to do
anything with you. Efforts
in the right direction will
get you results. Your strong faith will
remove all impediments from your
path. Doing just enough at work will
suffice due to your meticulous work.
This is not the day to buy property.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
Adopt a pet only if you can
care and act responsible
without depending on
anyone. If you persevere,
you are certain to succeed, especially
in business. A new location will bring
in new clients and help the business
grow. Take a relaxed attitude towards
life and do your awn thing.
ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
Don’t believe everything
that someone says, since
he or she may have an axe
to grind. Path that you
have chosen on the academic front
entails a lot of hard work. Impressing
superiors at work is likely to keep
you in an upbeat mood today. You
are very kind by nature.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
Making things work that
have been given up by
others can get you noticed,
so start thinking in this
direction. You will manage your
finances well. Don’t indulge in rumour
mongering, as you will simply gain
nothing. You can be given thumbs up
for going ahead with your ideas.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
Avoid conflict, howsoever
hard pressed you are to
complete the given task at
work. You may look
forward for some fun today, but may
not get the time for it. Spending on
friends will get you the recognition
you seek, but don’t overdo it. A small
break from work will relax you.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 - FEB 19
Professionals will need to
broaden their client base to
obtain better opportunities.
A technology upgrade may
be required to improve performance on
the academic front, as old methods
may not deliver. Your romantic ideas
are likely to provide much happiness to
the beloved.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
Don’t waste your time in
waiting fir the correct
opportunity rather go and
create one for yourself.
Banking on others to do your work
may not be a good idea, as you may
be left high and dry. Taking the
initiative academically will find you in
a most favourable situation.
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
Beating about the bush will
get you nowhere. You don’t
have to prove anything to
anyone, just be realist in
what you want to achieve. Those
doing something privately will be
able to boost their business. A gift or
surprise from someone close is likely
to lift your spirits.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
You remain determined to
prove your point and will
not bow down without
doing so. Financial worries
will become a thing of the past. An
exciting time with your spouse is
indicated today. Those in a joint
family set up are likely to have an
enjoyable memorable time together.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
You may feel reluctant to
get involved in an event. A
preparation or seminar
conducted by you may
come in for praise. Burden of work
on the academic front may stress
your mind, so take adequate breaks.
Those fond of the luxuries of life, will
get a chance to indulge in them.
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
Organising an event for
your near and dear ones is
indicated. Your sense of
fair play will keep you on
everyone’s right side. The magic of
thinking big can do wonders for your
current professional situation.
Encouraging words from someone
may prove a big morale booster.
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
It is best not to press your
luck at work by absenting
yourself frequently. You
may feel out of sync at
work today, due to personal
problems that need your attention.
Avoid taking up too many jobs, as
you won’t be able to do justice to
any.

he 21st Century
man, with the
knowledge and
wisdom of all hu-
manity just a
Click away, cring-
es in FEAR!
This darkest of all emo-
tions has frozen him into
INACTION. WHY?
Lets put the current situ-
ation in proper perspec-
tive:
1) The Black Death
(plague) of 1347 killed
about 200 million.
2) The Spanish Flu, just
100 years back, killed 2.5%
of the world’s population
then... 50 million out of
2000 million.
Those times had weak or
nonexistent methods of
communication to spread
awareness and medical
aid.
Today, we instantly
know about each case as it
gets infected, cured or dies.
Today, remedial meth-
ods and precautions are
flashed across the world in
seconds.
Why do we still see
FEAR ruling the minds of
a majority of the global
population??
The leaders who do so,
project their own coward-
ice and illiteracy upon the
gullible. Fear has knocked
out all reason!!
Even Green zones were
ruthlessly locked down to
kill all economic activity.
Don’t we brave the cold
by donning warm clothes.
If we don’t we will die.
Similarly, wearing a
mask or keeping safe dis-
tance diligently could have
deprived Corona of its
prey!!
The generations who
rode out from bigger
storms were also humans
like us. 97-98% survived,
lived on, learnt great les-
sons, evolved and pros-
pered even more.
Why is our generation
scampering for cover when
it faces a storm of far less
intensity??
85% of infected people
in this Pandemic are not
even aware of infection
and walk away unscathed.
So why this FEAR PSY-
CHOSIS ??
Let’s not blame the com-
mon man. The blame has
to be placed squarely on
the leaders for the massive
BLANKET LOCKDOWNS.
For not knowing
that this “Curfew” will not
work because the day after
it was imposed, tens of
millions walked out of cit-
ies towards the relative
safety of their villages
hundreds of miles away.
All in non-violent defiance.
They had no homes in
these cities to be locked
into. They were in fact
locked out!!!
For making unscientific
and misplaced predictions
about the virus’s end.
All these confusing sig-
nals and the absence of a
North Star to guide all to-
wards a goal led to a total
disrespect for the most en-
forceable and simple disci-
pline: MASKS & SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
Prophetic lyrics from
the famous song “RIDERS
ON THE STORM”... the
last song by the famous
and influential Rock Band
‘THE DOORS’:
“Into this world we’re
thrown,
Like an Actor out on
Loan,
There is a killer on the
road,
If you give him a ride,
Sweet family will die,
The world on you de-
pends,
Riders on the Storm.”
Just think of our bless-
ingsinthisagethatevolved
out of the sacrifice of
those brave Riders who
rode their own Storms !!
Because of them we can
face our Storm better
equipped.
We cannot derelict our
duty or afford to give up.
This catastrophe is all
about making us better
people from the ones who
entered the Storm.
Nobody remembers a
single guy who ever gave
up!!
“WHEN LIFE THROWS
YOU A STORMY DAY,
PLAY IN THE PUDDLES!!”
