choice. A few of us relish the taste of
leafy vegetables and choose to be veggie
to get our nutrients. Whereas, the rest
of us love the taste of meat and prefer
getting out nutrition through meat. How
is itto be vegan then?
A Healthy Approach!
Vegan’s are way too kind to the animals and they are
environment-friendly, which means they don’t eat food
or use a product that indirectly comes from animals, like
soaps and beauty products too. They are different from
vegetarians. Vegetarians only stick to keeping away from
meat and eggs.

that it feels good to be one. Here is what you should
know!

of cooking. The oil used in the
food is good for health and

know that they are in danger.
As you know the three of them
are different, the first fish was
confident, the second fish
believed in destiny and the
third fish was smart and he
knew how to find his way out.
The three of them talk about
how to rescue themselves
and the first one and the last
fish decide to leave the pond.
However, the second one is
yet not convinced with the idea
and believes his fate will save
him.
The fisherman comes the
next week and starts to put
his fishing net in water. Guess
which fishes save themselves?
The third fish finally saves
himself by misleading the
fisherman, the fisherman
thinks that the fish in water and
leaves him back in the pond.
The first fish leaves the pond
even before the fisherman
reaches the place.
The fish who left everything
to destiny is the one who gets
trapped and dies. Thus, we
must all keep trying hard until
the end.

Immigrants Who Are New
US Citizens To Prove Influential In
2020Elections

The New American leaders
made an analysis and noted
that in the US, there are
thousand voters who are
naturalized citizens in states
like Florida, Michigan and
Pennsylvania. Immigrants,
women and other
underrepresented Americans
will be given help by the New
American Leaders to get into
public office and make the
most of their voting rights.
The founder and President
of NAL, Sayu Bhojwani,
told Hill TV “There is the
ability in Florida, Michigan
and Pennsylvania in
particular right now with the
existing number of registered
naturalized citizens to change
the outcome of the election in
one direction or another”
She added saying,“We also
know that if we’re engaging
naturalized citizens who are
not yet registered in other
places like Arizona, for
example, or in Florida they can
actually make up the margin of
victory”.
According to the study, there
are 64,000 newly naturalized
citizens in Michigan. Trump
won 10,000 votes from them.
Among the naturalized citizens,
the one’s who are not paid
attention to are the Asian-
American and Latino
voters in the country.
Bhojwani says, it will be
tough for mobilizing voters
who aren’t registered
yet and nearly 92 million
eligible voters missed
to vote in 2016. In North
Carolina there are more
than one third of them who
are not registered yet.
As per the analysis now,
the new Americans who
are eligible to vote could
encourage democrats in

Public Sector Banks
To Boom In 2020
IN BUSINESS
On Monday, Anurag Singh Thakur’s Minister of State pointed at the
3,221 crore profit made by Private Sector Banks mid-September,
this shows they are faired well for 2019-20. According to the
minister, the performance of Public Sector Banks in 2017-2018 and
2018-2019 wasn’t good because of non-performing assets and
other circumstances.

According to the RBI, the bank experienced
losses due to fraud, excessive lending
practices, fall in economic growth and
corruption.
As per the state money lenders, the aggregate
profits in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 were
Rs.1,55,603 crores and 1,53,871 crores. Over
time in 2019, they made a provision for non-
performing assets of Rs.2,40,970 crores and
Rs. 2,35,623 crores. Thus, the loss stood at
around 80,000 crores in 2017-2018 and 2018-
2019.
The Minister stated, according to the asset
quality review of the RBI in 2015, there was a
high incidence of all the non-performing assets.
To stop these problems, the RBI has come up
with certain guidelines to detect fraud and put
an end to misappropriate funds from passing
on in Urban Co-operative banks. Any official
involved in these practices would be dismissed
from their service or charged a penalty.

When we realise that we
forgot the names of greatest
freedom fighters, then
we must also remember
Komaram Bheem along with
many other real heroes.
Komaram Bheem was a tribal
leader of our country decades
back. His name is only known
to the Telugu states though
he is a great freedom fighter
of India.
58
Komaram Bheem
Legendary Tribal Hero Of Telangana
Birth and Early
life of Bheem
Komaram Bheem was born
on 22nd of October, in a place
named Sankepalli of Adilabad
district, Telangana. His father
was killed by forest officials
when Bheem was around 15
years old.
Bheem din’t was not educated
formally.Lack of education
and exposure were not
the constraints for him to
FREEDOM FIGHTER
revolt against injustice and
wrongdoings. He was inspired
the great freedom fighters
Alluri Sita Rama Raju and
Shaheed Bhagat Singh.
Komaram Bheem As
A Freedom Fighter
Komaram Bheem’s fight was
against the Nizam rulers
for liberation of Hyderabad.
He raised his voice with the
slogan- “Jal, jungle, zameen”.
The meaning of the slogan is,
tribal people have all rights
on the natural resources
of forest. Komaram life
struggle started from his
father’s death or much
before. The Nizam ruler
during Komaram’s time was
Siddique. Siddique captured
the land of Komaram’s
family where his and the
family’s livelihood was
destroyed.Then, he rebelled
out on Siddique was killed
in the hands of Komaram.
He dint restrict the fight of
justice for himself but for
everyone around him.

After this incident, he left
his own place and landed in
Assam. They he got help from
a person named Vitoba. Vitoba
was running a magazine
against Britishers and Nizams.
With the help of Vitoba,
Komaram Bheem learnt
English, Hindi and Urdu. In
between, Vitoba was arrested
by police and the his press
organisation was closed.
From there, Komaram
visited Assam and worked
in tea plantation for four and
half years, There also, the
brave hero went against the
plantation owners fighting
for the workers right. He got
arrested by the police and
then he escaped from the jail.
He got into a train and heard
about the rebellious tribal
leader Alluri Sita Rama Raju.
This is how he was inspired
and was preparing himself for
the liberation of tribal people
from Nizams. With his bravery
and sacrifice, he became an
household name of Telangana.
The Nizam rulers were cruel
with their authority and power.
They raised the taxes and
women had least respect and
men were brutally harassed.
Their rude acts had no proper
reasons. Even the names of
districts of Telangana were
amended.
Komaram grew up seeing the
injustice and ill treatment of his
people by Nizam rules. He then
remembered the tribal heroes
Alluri Sita Rama Raju and
Bhagat Singh. He got the right
motivation and unstoppable
bravery to fight against Nizams.
He is a brave hero who fought
with passion and power but
not with weapons. He failed to
collect sophisticated weapons
but dint fail to stand for his
people. The Nizam ruler
Talukdar Abdul Sattar shook
with the fear that Komaram
Bheem created. Komaram
did this brave act along with
his followers though he din’t
have the great weapons. Then,
the Nizam ruler took the help
of 90 policemen who were
well armed and asked to raid
on Bheem and his followers.
This war happened on 8th of
October 1940 and Komaram
was killed in the war.
He dint have any political
influence or motivation.
His bravery to kill injustice
and only stand for justice
made him an inspirational
soul.The name is not well
known in India but a real
warrior who fought for his
people till last breath.
Komaram Bheem
As An Inspiration
For New Gen
Komaram Bheem is
known as the pride of
Telangana and a true
leader. He started the
idea of separate state for
Telangana. In fact, he is
the spirit and inspiration to
fight for a separate state.

Be Happy With Less
It Is Possible!
5 Simple Ways To
Being happy with less is close to impossible for most of
us, the deep spiritual reason to this is because we are
always looking for a reason that can help us feel happy
and we don’t realize that all of us are happy energy
souls by nature.
Moving on from the deep side and looking at
it practically, we all indirectly or directly need
a reason or factor to feel happy. Although the
reasons might vary, the main idea for all of us
is to seek peace and inner joy.
Do you think happiness is measurable? It
is just a swing of emotion that cannot be
measured, yet, it is priceless to the extent
that it makes you feel born again, with new
energy. Right?
Go slow and think a little more deeply about
this, ‘the very nature of happiness is immense
peace and a good feeling, then is it necessary
that it should be derived from bigger things
only?’ Can’t we be happy with little things?
That being said, question yourself and
find out about everything that makes you
happy, from the smallest to the biggest
things in your existence.
List them out and segregate reasons that
gave you momentary happiness and the
reasons that are keeping you happy even
today. For the most part, you will realize the
reasons to be hiding in all the little things.
To get a little real, it is not that in
materialistic or bigger things you don’t
find long-lasting happiness, you may
find it too. But it will last until your reason
for happiness exists. So why look at the
smaller picture of just wanting to be happy?

LIFE STYLE:LIFE STYLE
and you can feel it even with
the less.
How will you do it?
1. Tell yourself that
happiness is there in less,
repeat this line every day-
The brain will process and
turn into what you keep
telling it.
2. Look for instances from
your life - Say you helped
an old lady cross the road
and she blessed you. You
remember it even today
right?
3. Compare the same thing
to the day you bought a
bicycle in your childhood.
This would have been big
for your parents to get it for
you, does it make you happy
even today?
If you want a deep experience
then why not look for ways to
be happy with the little things.
Finding happiness in the little
will teach you to naturally
become a happy person
and you will understand the
meaning of unconditional
happiness. Is it too much to
handle?
Follow these simple tips on
ways to be happy with less
and you will automatically turn
into a naturally happy person
despite the problems in your
life. Interesting? Here you go!
Way No 1 - It Is
All In The Mind
We are all made in a way that
we need to repair or program
our mindset to believe or start
following something.
Having said, you need to
tell the logical part of your
brain and feel believe that
happiness is a state of being

last. As mentioned earlier, it is
momentary.
Psychologists have tried
studying how money can
make a person happy and it
states that money can make
a person happy only to an
extent and after one point
the person will no longer
experience happiness.
You can feel happy about
being wealthy, but, making
that your primary source for
happiness is not how it works.
How will you do it?
1Make time for service
2Spend a part of your
money to help the needy
3Invest in spending time by
yourself
4Do some self-talks
5Find yourself a new hobby
6To divert your mind from
the money thought, spend
time with the people you love

about feeling happy in the less

Avoid Seeking

not all have it. This should be
enough for you to be able to
relate.
That being said, if you want
to learn what it is like to be
happy with less, look at those
people who don’t even have
the little that you have and
they still manage to scrape
through.
How will you do it?
1. Look at people who beg
on the streets, if they can be
peaceful, why can’t you be?
2. Think of all the struggle
stories of your grandparents
and parents who managed it
all with a smile
3. Look at the house-keeping
staff who work for you, they
would have a thousand more
problems than you do and
they still smile
4. Think of several people
who are struggling to get their
meals and you have it
Therefore, count all your
blessings and understand
that you are fortunate
enough for wherever you are
today, so why tax yourself
and run about bothering for
big things. Look at these
examples and feel blessed
for where you are today.
Way No 4 -
Avoid Delaying
Happiness
Most of us have this habit of
delaying happiness, we set
goals and tie our happiness to
those goals being achieved. In
this quest, we forget that we
are forgetting to live the little
joys in our life at the moment.
Therefore, we must
understand that happiness
needs to be understood and
felt even before success
comes int the picture.
How will you do it?
1) At the moment what’s the
best thing that’s happening to
you, enjoy it and live it. For an
instance, you are at work and
busy working, you are served
a cup of hot coffee to help you
revive your energy. Isn’t this
a good enough reason to feel

happy?
2) Don’tstart worrying about a
future problem now
3) Take care of yourself, this
is a form of happiness in itself
4) Look for a means to be
happy for a few seconds
everyday. Example, think
of all the good deeds you
performed so far
5) Start fulfilling your little(non-
material) wishes
Way No 5 -
Tune Your Mind
To Nothing Being
Constant
To avoid losing touch with
happiness, you need to
register it in your mind that it
is not going to last always and
you should be okay with it.
Needless to say, that it is
none other than you who can
keep the happiness quotient
alive, at times you might not
be able to be happy too. Don’t
think of it to be permanent, if
its there at this moment, just
feel and enjoy it.
How will you do it?
Just understand simple logic,
you are not going to be happy
forever with the car you
purchased or the dress you
bought. When you see that it
is a part of your routine, you
will not find anything exciting
about it. So you have to tune
your mind to nothing being
constant.
Take Away
Making material things a
source of your happiness is
going to make you unhappy
soon.
Happiness is a state of mind
and it is on you to make room
for it in your life.
Don’t mix pleasure with
happiness, pleasure is not
even a state of mind. It is a
mere element of happiness.
Reduction in a desire
reduces pleasure and beyond
pleasure is the real state of
being happy.

Recognize 6 Signs Of
BeingTreatedAsAFling!
There are times when you are with someone and you
feel incomplete in a way that your partner is with you
yet doesn’t belong. Ever felt that? When your partner
and you are in the dating phase, it is necessary to be
transparent and get it all right about whether the two
of you are just hanging around or do the two of you
see a potential in the fling phase to turn
into love for each other.
RELATIONSHIP

72
RELATIONSHIP
For all you know, maybe your partner is still
not sure, before you build castles of love and
togetherness in the air, keep the emotional side
of yours away and practically understand if the
person feels the same love for you.
It is never nice to feel insecure and unsure of the
opposite person’s feelings, especially when the
person is there with you and yet doesn’t want to be
there with you, do you understand how deep it is?
Feelings are as fragile as you can metaphorically
express them to be. When you are in love with
someone for a while, you give in to that person
mentally, physically and emotionally. Whether you
say it or not, in the end, you want to give this bond
a relationship tag. Right?
To find out about how your partner feels, does
he/she treat you like the love of their life or are
you just a fling for that person. Moving about with
the same thought process and being flings is no
wrong, however, if you love that person and the
person is confusing you with their hesitation to
commit to you, you need to be worried about it and
look for these signs to understand if they love you
or you are just flings to them.
Sign No 1 - He/She
Snaps Out From
Conversations About
The Future
Needless to say, when you love a girl or guy
and you have spent enough time with them,
you would think of having a future with that
person.
You will be the most eager to talk about
living with that person, making resolutions
and everything associated with the two of
you. Right?
Sign - Your partner ignores these
conversations, changes the topic or
postpones talking about it. It clearly says
that he/she doesn’t see the two of you being
together.
Exception - There are chances that our
partner’s focus is on one of his/her aims or
could be that he/she is practical.
Gist - If you see that your partner ignores
such conversations for no good reason then
you might just be a fling and if there is a
reason for not talking about the future and
you are aware of it, then it is a different story.
Sign No 2 - He/She Is
Apprehensive Of Giving A
Title To The Relationship
When you are sure of someone, the first
thought that would strike your mind is that of
giving your relationship a title, right?
You want to be called a girlfriend or a
boyfriend and you would want the other

person to say it too if the person has signaled the
love for you. Right?
Sign - If your partner gets anxious about
giving the relationship a title having spent time
together and it is not that you assumed it wrong
but the person has been involved as a part of
your life, yet doesn’t want to name it.
Exception - Your partner may need time to
know you more, feel sure about your being the
one and only then wants to commit. There is no
wrong in this at all.
Gist - From the time the two of you started
together until now, if your partner is all the time
anxious about giving your togetherness a title
and avoids talking about it, then you are nothing
but a fling to the person.
On the other hand, if your partner has told you
right from the start that he/she is unsure and will
need time and doesn’t guarantee to be with you
then he/she is not putting you in dark.
Sign No 3 - He/She
Is Secretive About The
Relationship
When a person is in love with you, he or
she will be excited about introducing you
to close friends and family. You aren’t just
introduced, you become a part of the family.
The person takes you out with his/her family
and friends, you get to attend family events
and he/she discusses with you about their
bond with the family and many more things.
Sign - If the person is against telling his/
her close ones about the two of you and
doesn’t allow you to tell your people, then
there is something fishy.
Exception - Well, there cannot be any
exceptions to this scenario because a
person who loves you will introduce you to
at least one of his friends or someone from
the family, if not his entire group
Gist - This clearly states that you are just the
secret of his life and you are not important
or a partner to him/her. What’s the point in
being with a person who doesn’t want to
make your relationship official?
Sign No 4 - He/She Never
Takes You Seriously
When someone is in love with you,
everything that you do, situations that affect
you and anything you say is important to
that person.
If you love eating donuts, they want to
surprise you with it and if you get affected
with negative conversations then they make

74
sure to avoid doing things that can put you off.
Sign - If the person you are with doesn’t even
bother for you on basic things all the time, then
you are definitely not important to that person.
Exception - We are always not happy and
peaceful, it so happens that the person may
behave weird sometimes, in that case, you
cannot assume that you are just a fling for the
person.
Gist - If a person truly loves you, he/she will
make time and give you so much importance that
they will put you before anything and take you
seriously.
Sign No 5 - He/She Has
Time For Everything Else, Except
You
When you are in love, there is no place for
excuses to make time for your partner, your
partner will somehow try hard and make at least
5 minutes for you even if he/she is extremely
busy. Where there is a will! There always is a
way.
Sign - If you notice that your partner has time
to go out with friends, watch his/her favorite web
series, hit the gym and many more tasks and
give excuses when you ask for time, it is clear
that you are just an option to the person.
Exception - no exceptions about making time
for the one you love.
Gist - No excuses no matter what, that’s how it
works when people are in love, period!
Sign No 6 - He/She Is
Affectionate Only While
Having Sex
Sex is a part of love and not the major
aspect of love, however, when it is a fling
relationship, it is all about sex. When you love
someone you are okay even if the person is
not comfortable to have sex with you and you
will still be affectionate to your partner, right?
Sign - If you see that your partner is just
affectionate while having sex and doesn’t
care about you once you are out of bed, it
clearly indicates that you are nothing else but
a fling.
Sign No 7 - He/She Talks
But Never Understands
When your partner loves you, he/she will
be most delighted to understand. It is never
RELATIONSHIP

enough for the person to just talk without
understanding you. You become a priority and
everything that is in your mind is all they want to
know.
Sign - When a person treats you like a fling,
he/she will not bother to understand you, they will
just talk what comes to their mind without even
bothering to understand if you are happy about
the conversation, their talks are artificial and you
will never feel the connection.
Sign No 8 - He/She Never
Takes Interest in Spending Time
When a person is serious about leading a life
with you, he/she will talk about personal and
professional goals and be happy to know what
yours as well.
There is a difference when a person is with you
and when a person is with you and is interested
in knowing you better, a person who is interested
in knowing you genuinely will always talk about
how the two of you can grow together.
Sign - When a person treats you like a
fling, it wouldn’t matter to them to know what
you want from life or your views on things.
For them, you are just a need of the hour.
Sign No 9 - He/She
Shows You The Worst
Moodswings
We all experience mood swings and we
have our outlet to them as well, when it
comes to a person we love, we never burst
those unstable moods and disturb them. All
we do is keep it within us and find healthy
ways to get a hold of ourselves.
Sign - When a person is extremely
friendly and then becomes rude based on
how they feel instead of understanding that
they need to treat you well irrespective of
how they feel, you should know that you are
just an instrument to their needs.
Final Word
A person will not keep assuming things
until they are given a chance to, right? It
is the signs that indicate to you about your
partner’s confusing behavior.
The next approach to get clarity to all the
observations you made is to talk to the
person directly and still be mindful about
what he/she is saying vs what he/she is
doing.
In any case, in a serious discussion like this,
if the person is ignoring you, you need to
be smart and understand that you have to
move on in life, as there is no point being
stuck in a place where you are merely being
used and not loved, as you don’t deserve
being treated as a fling.
