CURRENT AFFAIRS
IndianArmyMergedWithAPrivateFirmAnd
DevelopedLow-CostGunShotLocator
Currently Indian Army imports expensive gun
shot locator which costs around 65 lakhs.
Developing a cheapest device is a great
achievement. The newly developed gun shot
locator costs around 3 lakhs.
Army’s College of Military Engineering
merged with a private work to work on
this project to develop a cheaper device
compared to imported devices.
This new device is capable of locating a bullet
from 400m distance. It will help to locate and
counterattack at terrorist faster. “Parth” gun
shot locator is the cheapest army device in
the world.
Major Anoopa Mishra exhibited “Parth”
gun shot locator at the DefExpo 2020 at
Lucknow. Major Mishra also developed a
bulletproof jacket which gives protection from
sniper bullets to the soldiers. He is also the
one who developed a helmet that can stop
AK-47 bullet from distance of 10 meters.

JammuAndKashmirPublicSafetyAct-
APreventiveLaw
The Public Safety Act was formed in
1978 in Jammu & Kashmir. It is a strict
law that is detains any individual for 2
years without any kind of trial or charge.
In general, if any individual is arrested
under Public Safety Act, there will no
warrant, specific charges and also
without a specifying a period of time.
In certain cases, the Act makes some
amendments for the detained individual.
The amendments are like- specifying the
reason of detention, gives them a chance
of filing a case against their detention
in return. The Act is all over Jammu &
Kashmir with the same provisions. The
detention order under PSA is declared by
the Divisional Commissioner or District
Magistrate.
The Reason Why Public Safety Act is
coming into now is- the former chief
minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Farooq
Abdullah was detained under the Act very
recently. The detention was to keep him
under house arrest as per Article 370.
The one who established this law was
Sheikh Abdullah (Farooq Abdullah’s
father). But the purpose of establishing
PSA was different. It was to prohibit
timber smuggling and arrest the
smugglers. This is a preventive law but
not just a law to punish people.

HEALTHY LIVING
Why Is It Harmful To
Drink Too Much Water?
If we don’t drink what we are made up of, how
will survival be easy? Water is the solution
and medicine to every health concern. Whether
that’s dehydration or hair problems, only water
can rescue you. Agree?

32
Are you drinking sufficient water to
compensate for what is lost while
sweating, breathing, and digestion?
Well, if you are not, you should be
drinking at least 3 liters of water
every single day.
If it is tough to keep up with the
quantity of water in liters, always
remember that you should drink 8
glasses of water every day. If you
can manage this, your mental health,
skin, hair, and system inside is going
to rock. If you don’t, you will find
yourself suffering from at least one
or more health concerns.
Besides this, drinking too much
of water is equally bad for health.
Wondering if that’s true? Yes, it is!
You should keep a strict watch over
how much water you consume every
day.
Here are some of the side
effects of drinking too
much water! Give
it a read!
No-1 Bad For The Cells
If you want your cells to be healthy
and perform well, it is necessary to
keep a check on the sodium and
potassium levels in your body.
These two nutrients are electrolytes
and they very well balance the fluids
in your body. When you overload
your body with water, two of these
HEALTHY LIVING
nutrients have a tough time to manage the fluid in your
cells.
The negative impact of this excess water causes swelling
in cells and if the body has to develop, it cannot develop
with this excess swelling in your cells. Why put your body
through this risk?
No-2 Drains Potassium From
Your Body

An essential mineral in the body is potassium. This
nutrient takes care of the fluids, muscle movements and
supports your nerves when it gives signals to your brain.
Therefore it is important that potassium is there to take
care of all these functions in your body. By drinking
excess water, potassium levels begin to reduce in your
body. Loss of potassium is even known as hypokalemia.
Here is what your body goes through with lack of
potassium
> Less potassium makes your
muscles weak and they don’t produce
enough contractions
> Blood sugar levels increase due
to weakness
> The brain doesn’t get proper
signals on digestion
> Less potassium slows down the
heartbeat
> The arms, legs, and hands start
to get weak
No-3 Heart Gets
Pressurized
As the body has its own pace of
absorbing liquids. By drinking excess
water, these liquids tend to go
out of control and it gets into your
bloodstream. Is this a bad thing?
If there is a flow of excess blood, it
certainly affects the heart.
The blood vessels cannot take this
excess pressure and it passes on
to your heart, your heart loses its
strength and ability to pump oxygen
in the blood and the complication
arises. This is not a good sign and in
some cases, it can cause seizures
too. So, stop drinking too much water.
No-4 Painful Cramps
Drinking excess water can be taxing
on your health as it causes painful
cramps, Why? The nutrient or factor
that takes care of all the muscle
functions is the electrolytes.
Electrolytes are nothing but the

34
electricity in your body that is
needed to take care of tissue
damage, monitor the blood levels,
nerve and muscle contractions.
So, by drinking too much water, you
are allowing all the electrolytes to
dropdown. This dropping down of
electrolytes leads to bad cramps in
your stomach.
No-5 Increases The Risk
Of Cancer
There is a risk of cancer if the water
you drink has chlorine in it. So,
there are experts who have studied
this and concluded that drinking
too much chlorine water can cause
testicular cancer as the bladder gets
affected. Take safety precautions
and avoid this small mistake.
No-6 Negatively Impacts
Your Kidneys
The kidney filters blood and
eliminates all the excess waste
from the body. If your kidneys don’t
function well, it proves to be a bad
sign for your health, isn’t it?
Drinking excess water is one of the
reasons for your kidney to function
ineffectively. Why? What happens?
Around the kidney there are
capillaries, they are known as
glomeruli. These capillaries take the
first move in filtering the blood. So,
for urine to form, these capillaries
HEALTHY LIVING
are taken forward by the nephrons.
When there is excess water, this process is disturbed
and it causes the kidneys to bloat. Thereon, the
kidneys get affected.
No-7 Leads To Cirrhosis
Overhydrating your body is bad for health. It is
important to keep a check on how much water you
drink otherwise it will cause trouble in your liver too.
Sodium is needed to control the fluid activity in the
body, excess water, drains out the sodium. Apart from
this, when there is a pressure of water in the blood
vessels, it goes and causes swelling in the liver. This
swelling is known as ascites or cirrhosis.
So, lack of sodium and pressure on the blood vessels
dominate your health.
No-8 Impacts Hormones
As mentioned, kidneys flush out all the waste from your
body and by drinking too much water, your kidneys are

forced to flush out all the waste as quickly as
possible.
This pressure is shared by your other
hormones. As your body is balancing the
pressure from everywhere, it internally
makes you exhausted.
What Are The Signs You Are
Drinking Too Much Water?
Here are some uncontrollable signs that
clearly prove you are into drinking too much
water and it can affect your health. Look
through them!
No 1 - You are carrying a water bottle
with you all the time and everywhere even if it
is not needed.
No 2 - You over-drink water even when
you are not thirsty.
No 3 - You keep drinking water till you
don’t see your urine clear. It is an obsession in
a way.
No 4 - The times you go to urinate
increases. However, you urinate most at night.
No 5 - You may want to throw up when
you keep drinking too much water all the time.
No 6 - The color of your skin on the throat,
hands, lips and feet changes.
No 7 - Reduced salt concentration in the
blood and disturbed cells can cause a bad
headache.
No 8 - You are likely to experience cramps
more often and you are quickly tired.

Since his appointment as the CEO,
Nadella has implemented several new
strategies and techniques to bring the
company back to the #1 spot in the list
of the software companies across the
world.
In here, we discuss his success story
and everything that you possibly need
to know about the NRI that scaled large
heights with his skills.
Early life
Born as Satya Narayana Nadella
on August 19, 1967 in Hyderabad,
India, Nadella was born in a Telugu
household. His father, Bukkapuram
Nadella Yugandhar, worked as a
civil servant as an IAS officer for the
Government of India.
Nadella did his schooling from the
Hyderabad Public School in Begumpet,
Hyderabad following which he
pursued his bachelor’s in Electrical
Engineering from the Manipal Institute
of Technology in Karnataka in 1988.
Indians are known for their
resilience and diversity in
dominating in every field
and domain across the
world. Satya Nadella, the
current CEO of Microsoft
has proved it just as much.
The most important thing
that Nadella is known for
is his leadership skills and
risk management skills.
The main reason being the
fact that he took over the
reign of the company when
it was undergoing severe
turmoils.
Satya Nadella
CEO of the Biggest Software Company
NRI PROFILE

42
NRI PROFILE
After the completion of his
graduation, Nadella flew to
the United States to pursue
his M.S from the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
in Computer Science
Engineering. He finished
his degree in 1990 and later
completed his MBA from
the University Of Chicago
Booth School Of Business.
Nadella has emphasised
saying time and time that
his passion has always
been to build things which
was what helped him
discover his passion which
was Computer Science.
Career
Following completion of his
degrees, Nadella joined
the Sun Microsystems, a
company that was into sales
and IT services as a member
of its technology staff. The
company was later bought
by Oracle Corporation in
2010 for $7.4 billion.
Nadella later joined Microsoft
in 1992 and started leading
some of the biggest projects
that were associated with
cloud computing and the
ones that made the company
into one of the biggest cloud
infrastructures in the world.
Later, he was appointed as the
senior vice president and the
vice president of the Microsoft
Business division and the
Online Services Division.
Following that, Nadella took
over the $19 billion Server
and Tools Business as the
President and was responsible
for introducing changes
and transformation related
to the cloud services and
infrastructure.
His work for converting the
services and blending them
into the Azure cloud has
always been highly credited.
He brought forth growth in the
revenue in the Cloud services
from $16.6 billion to $20.3
billion in just 2 years. His 2016
pay check amounted to $86.5
million.
Later in 2014, Nadella was
announced as the CEO
of Microsoft following the
leadership of Bill Gates and
Steve Ballmer. It was later
in 2014 that he sparked
controversies when he said
that women shouldn’t ask
for raise and simply trust the
system. Following a round of
harsh critique, Nadella took to
his twitter to apologise for the
statement and even admitted
being “completely wrong” to
his colleagues at Microsoft in
an email that he sent out.
Nadella’s leadership has
witnessed a lot of implemented
changes in Microsoft, its
openness in working more
with other companies being
one of the most common

breakthroughs. He also
revised the company motto
to “empower every person
and every organization on
the planet to achieve more”
following his appointment.
The main goal that Nadella
foresees in the future is to
transform the rigid corporate
culture of Microsoft into
one that projects consistent
learning and growth.
After Nadella becoming
a CEO, Microsoft has
experienced massive growth,
leaping 27% in the annual
growth rate in terms of the
shares. He was also cited as
the best CEO in the United
States on December 2018.
Family
Nadella married his wife,
Anupama in 1992 and are
now proud parents of three
children, one son and two
daughters. The family stays
in Clyde Hill, Bellevue in
Washington.
The first book that Nadella
penned down was titled as
“Hit Refresh” that came with
an objective of “the quest to
rediscover Microsoft’s soul
and imagine a better future
for everyone”.
In terms of accolades,
Nadela has been named as
the Person of the Year by
Financial Times.

NRI IMMIGRATION
When it comes to the visa applications, it is not surprising that the process is
not that easy as it seems. There are a number of complications and roadblocks
along the way that one needs to know of. To help you out with the process a
bit better, we have sorted out some of the most common myths about the US
Visa process that you need to know of. Make sure that you have a better idea of
things and the process to make it easier for you when you actually go through
with the application process.
8 Common Myths About US Visa
Every Person Should Know

Travel within 6 onths
People have this misconception in
their heads that it is important and a
complete necessity for one to travel
within 6 months of the US visa issuance.
That is not the case at all, to be fair. It
is the opposite. Every single Visa does
come with its own expiration date that
you need to abide by. There is no hard
and fast rule that one has to travel within
6 months time after the visa to keep it
valid. That is definitely not something
that comes us the rule. The same can
be revoked or sometimes cancelled
based off of discrepancies.
It comes with a limit
There is a common belief about US visa
that the same comes with limitations
of how many can be issued within an
year. That is not necessarily the case.
There is no limit to the same, especially
on the tourist visa that majority of the
people indulge in. The limitation that is
imposed is on the immigrant visa which
comes with a confined number bracket,
following which no more applications
are accepted for the same.
Parent Visa might not be
granted if children are in
US
This is a common belief but for the
most part, that is not the only reason
that one’s visa could be denied. There
are a number of factors involved that
one does need to know about to have a
better idea of things. If you have been
having this query and confusion, we

46
NRI IMMIGRATION
would suggest that you do keep
this in mind as a myth and not
something set in stone that
could otherwise prove out as
a fact. That is most definitely
not how the Visa approval or
rejection process goes.
Senator
recommendation can
get you a VISA
If you have had your US Visa
rejected in the past, it is a
complete myth if you think that
a letter of recommendation
from the senator or any other
higher authority can help you
seal the deal. That is not how
things work at all. It is the
consular officers overseas
in the embassy who are
responsible for their work. So,
if you think that any form of
recommendation can speed
up the process, you are likely
mistaken. It is very important
that you do keep an eye out
on the discrepancies causing
the issue and find better ways
to tackle the issues better and
then reapply for the visa again.
6 months isn’t the deal
Often times people have this
belief that asking or applying for
a 6 months visa is the reason
the application gets rejected. It
doesn’t necessarily matter how
long the duration is and how
long you are applying the visa
for. That is not mandatory at
all. If the length of the duration

that you are applying in the
visa doesn’t justify the cause,
chances are that is the case
of the rejection for the most
part. It is necessary that
the application should have
clear mentions of reasonings
and the constant need for
the visa following which the
same is granted as per the
requirements.
Past is what matters
Many think that if one has
had their US visa application
rejected in the past, they
are not eligible anymore to
apply for the Visa again. That
is not the case at all. There
are a number of criteria that
goes into visa granting, so if
you have the notion that the
same is confined to just the
prospects of whether or not
the visa has been declined
early, that is possibly not
the case at all. Any kind of
genuine cases of application
will have their visa approved.
It is when there are questions
and unnecessary highlights
in the application that the
authorities tend to not approve
it.
US Visa once
assures future visa
If you had gotten your US
Visa approved once doesn’t
mean that it guarantees the
approval of the same in the
coming days as well. That is
not how it works. Every time
that you apply for a visa, it is
the purpose of the application
that matters. It doesn’t matter
whether you have your visa
approved prior as well. It
doesn’t have any kind of
impacts on the process at
all. It is necessary that every
time that the visa application
is applied, the application
should gel along well with the
requirements. That is what
that matters at the end of the
day.
B1/B2 extension
imposes risks
Often times, it is a common
myth making people think that
applying for extensions on the
B1/B2 visa ends up affecting
the visa applications in the
future, ending up rejecting
them. That is not the case
at all, to be honest. The only
thing that you need to assure
is the fact that you leave the
country within your sanctioned
time period. If the track
record for the same is clean,
chances are that you wouldn’t
necessarily face issues in
getting things sorted out for
yourself if that is the case,
especially when it comes
round to the future US visa
applications.

success rate in all the patients.
The drug that has been made
use by the Thai doctors is a
combination of the medicines
that are used for flu and HIV.
The initial results of the usage
of the drug has shown a vast
improvement with in 48 hours
after the treatment has been
started.
The combination of the drug
that is being used to treat
the coronavirus is said to
be the inclusion of a
mixture of anti- HIV drugs
lopinavir and ritonavir is
combination of oseltamivir
which is the drug used for
flu, in large doses.
The specialists at the
Rajavithi Hospital have
told that although the drug
has not shown complete
results it has helped few

50
WORLD NEWS
of the nineteen cases that has
been recorded in Thailand,
eight cases have been
recovered and were discharged
from the hospital where as the
eleven remaining patients are
still under going treatment at
the hospital.
The United Nations(UN) health
agency and the World Health
Organization (WHO) have
declared that the existence of
an international emergency
over the deadly novel
coronavirus.
The international emergency is
a designation that is rarely used
by the United Nations health
agency and the World Health
Organization which could lead
to the improved international
co- ordination for tackling with
the deadly disease that is being
spread across several nations
at an alarming rate.
Several measures are being
taken by the governments
of several countries in order
to evacuate their stranded
citizens from China.
The government of India has
set up a special flight in order
to evacuate the Indians from
the Chinese city of Wuhan.
Two Air India special flights has
departed from Delhi to the city
of Wuhan in the Hubei province
of China and have evacuated
several citizens of India who
have been stranded in the
People’s Republic of China.
The government of India has
asked the Indians who were
living in the Hubei province
of China to ascertain their
willingness in order to get them
back to India.
The government of India have
also temporarily suspended
the e- visa facilities for the
people travelling from China
and the foreigners who have
been residing in China. This
step has been initiated by the
government of India in order
to stop the coronavirus from
spreading.
The suspension of the e-
visas has also been applied
to the holders of the Chinese
passports and the applicants of
nationalities who are residing
in China and also the e- visas
which have already been
issued will no longer be valid.
The visitors from China and

Hong Kong have already started
being scanned by the Indian
government and it has also been
expanded to the travellers from
Thailand as well as Singapore.
The Indian Embassy in Beijing
has left a window open in
case of emergency and for the
important travellers from China
to India and therefore the flights
have not been suspended.
The citizens of India who have
been evacuated were asked to
get a complete health checkup
done before boarding the flight
and that they would have to
be quarantined for around two
weeks in special camps.
The cases of the coronavirus
is being increased with every
passing day and the number of
cases that have been confirmed
in India are three and further
investigation and screening is
being done in order to identify
the patients and provide
necessary treatment under
isolation.
The three cases that have
been confirmed in India were
recorded in Kerala and the
patients have been identified
as the students of the medical
college in Wuhan which is
the city in China and which
has been the epicenter of
the deadly coronavirus. The
patients have been identified
as the students who have
come to India from the
People’s Republic of China.
The first case of India has
been recorded from Thrissur
in Kerala where as the second
case has been recorded in
Alappuzha in Kerala and
the third case has also been
recorded in the state of Kerala.
The patients have been
quarantined and the necessary
medication and the treatment
is being provided and the
family members of the patients
are also being screened in
order to rule out the chance
of the coronavirus being
transmitted from one person to
another.
The government of Kerala
has taken serious measures
in controlling the virus from
being spread. The government
of Kerala has initiated to
set up isolation centers in
all the hospitals including
all the government as well
as the private hospitals in
the state and to conduct
seminars and discussions at
all the schools and creating
awareness among the children
and the people of the state
regarding the dangerous
novel coronavirus and the
precautionary measures that
can be taken in order to stay
safe from being affected by the
virus which has taken several
lives around the world.
The World Health Organization
and the United Nations health
agency have declared an
international emergency
regarding the coronavirus
and have also identified the
coronavirus as a zoonotic
virus. Zoonotic is a term that
is used to describe a virus
that gets transmitted from the
animals to the human beings
and would later on spread from
one human being to another.

IncredibleAIThat‘Understands’IsBeingBuilt
By ADesiScientist
The Defence Advanced
Research Projects Agency
in the US is giving funds to
researchers to make agents
that can even understand
human emotions. Further,
they want to see the AI
agents be teammates
for humans.
An Indian Scientist
and a team of
researchers from
the University of
Arizona are working
on this. To make this
possible they have
been given a grant of
$7.5 million. Further,
they want to create
an agent who has the
ability to understand
social cues and make
independent rational
decisions. The Desi Scientist
is a 30-year-old Adarsh
Pyarelal. He is the Principal
investigator for the DARPA-
Funded project.
This entire concept has been
termed as ‘Theory of Mind’
and the idea is to be able to
predict human interactions,
actions, and non-verbal signs.
What is their plan? The team
is going to partner with human
players to complete custom-
designed Minecraft missions.
Taking help from digital and
physical sensors, AI will collect
information about individual
players and their interactions
with human teammates. So
they will rely on AI agents
to respond back and give
their suggestions to help the
teammates.
A professor from the
University of West of
England is skeptical about
whether this concept will
work as he thinks that
using video games to
teach AI social intelligence
has disadvantages as it
might not be suitable to
situations in real life.
Pyarelal is from Kerala
and he says that studying
human interactions in the
real world is vast when
compared to studying
human-machine teaming
in a virtual testbed.
This entire concept will
capture the video and audio
of a person so that the agent
is used to identifying humans
by their voice and face,
instead of just their face.

Corporate Companies Roll
Back Business With OYO
Over a year, OYO’s business is not doing well as corporates like
L&t Infotech, TCS and Vodafone Idea have rolled back their
business with OYO as there were issues on women’s safety and
drawbacks in their services.
IN BUSINESS
It has been stated that 18%
of OYO’s revenue would
come from a corporate
business. In addition to this,
there were concerns with the
team and hotel partners.
One of the employees
mentioned that OYO had not
been doing well over a year
and it was getting difficult for
them to provide good service
to all the corporate clients.
When compared to 2018, the
business went down in 2019.
These issues first came up
in Pune when L&T Infotech
stepped back from OYO. One
of the female employee’s
safety was taken overlooked.
There were a couple of
emails sent from L&T
Infotech to OYO, addressing
their issue of their female
employees feeling unsafe and
they might not do business
with OYO if it continued. They
didn’t find OYO to be taking
any responsibility to tackle
the issue.
Further, there was no
response to any comments
and Britannia had quality
issues with OYO as well.
TCS and Vodafone also
decided not to continue
business with OYO.
One of OYO’s corporate
members said that
Vodafone’s business with
OYO fell from 25 lakhs
in October to 11 lakhs
this month. One of the
emails received by OYO

had a complaint mentioning
a woman’s safety had been
compromised. She had to lock
herself in the washroom and
called the police at midnight
as drunk men abused her and
tried to open the door.
The door didn’t have a latch
and she was transferred to
OYO Townhouse property
after she complained, as usual,
there were no comments from
the professional services firm.
On being questioned, one
of OYO’s spokesperson
mentioned that they have
measures when it comes to
safety. That being said, they
have, escalation matrix, in-
app SOS button on a check to
indicate to the Police or OYO
Safety Response Team, they
have CCTV’s and a few other
security arrangements.
India Plans To Work With Qatar
On Lowering Gas-Pricing Costs
India has been in partnership
with Qatar for a long time now
with hydrocarbons over 75
percent of all bilateral trade. On
Monday, Dharmendra Pradhan,

Qatar is the largest source
of India’s Liquefied Natural
Gas Supply. Kaabi is in
Delhi to meet one of his
counterparts. In addition to
this, the Minister mentioned
that India is in need of
more energy, especially the
need for gas is increasing
drastically.
To provide for the needs
of 70 percent of the
population, India is looking
forward to improving its gas
infrastructure. To build this
gas infrastructure, the plan
is to invest USD 60 billion.

No need to rush all around the home in search of car key
while going out. Apple has come up with a great feature
that enables you to lock, unlock and start start the car with
your iphones or Apple watches.

Apple’s beta version of ios
13.4 will allow the users
to utilize their devices as
the keys for NFC enabled
vehicles. This feature was
named as ‘CarKey’ and
not yet enabled. Let’s look
further deep into the working
and features of the ‘CarKey’.
How CarKey Works?
No need to authenticate the
Face ID to use CarKey, just
hold the iphone or apple
watch in front of the reader
to unlock the hidden features
like lock, unlock or start the
car. Express mode settings
can be changed in the wallet.
The pairing process takes
place through the wallet app
and setup requires the car
manufacturer’s app. CarKey
will be available in the wallet
app only if the user places
iphone on the top of the NFC
reader in the car. Once the
CarKey is available on the
iphone, it can be easily added
to the Apple watch.
Apple is working in
cooperation with some
manufacturers to implement
the CarKey.
Features of CarKey:
The following are a few
stunning features of the
Apple’s CarKey:
> CarKey does not require the
FaceID authentication to work
> It can lock, Unlock or start
the car.
> The CarKey works well
even when your iphone or
Apple watch is out of battery.
> CarKey can be share
with other people like family
members. Once shared this
feature allows the users to
lock/unlock the car. It seems
that sharing limits the person
from starting the car. This
safe feature allows the kids
to unlock the car to put their
things in the car and come
back with out starting it.
This feature will be available
to everyone only after the
official release of the iOS
13.4.

Live examples are great but history is another way of inspiring
us. So, here are some facts and life lessons we must know from a
man’s biography. The man who is known for his values and ethics.
Indians admire this great leader for many reasons and he is
Lal Bahadur Shastri.

Lal Bahadur Shastri
AMajor Contribution In India’s Freedom
FREEDOM FIGHTER
Early Life OF
Lal Bahadur Shastri
He started to take part in freedom fighting
from a very young age. His struggle started
from childhood as his father died when he
was less than 2 years old and he was the last
child of his parents. Though his family was
faced with poverty, he had a happy childhood.
Lal Bahadur was brought up by his uncle. He
was sent to his uncle for studies in Varanasi.
He was a hard working and dedicated boy from
then- we can say this as he walked the way
to school without shoes even on hot summer
days.
How did he start
freedom fighting?
Mahatma Gandhi inspired many people with his
slogans and fight against British. Lal Bahadur
was one of them and when Gandhi ji asked
people to join the Non Cooperation Movement.

He was highly passionate to join the fight of
freedom. He also decided to quit his studies to
do full justice for what he decided on.
In the year 1930, Mahatma Gandhi made
another big move and it was named as Dandi
March. Lal Bahadur took part in the March and
he also did several campaigns. This protest
may have been prisoned by British Raj. Even
Lal Bahadur Shastri was arrested and he was
jailed for seven long years.
After independence, Congress was on upper
hand and then Lal Bahadur was recognized as
the national leader for his real bravery.
Lal Baharu Shatri As A Social
Reformer- Must Know Facts
Shastri raised his voice against many
social issues. He took social responsibility
and he brought a change in society with
his determination. He was the one who
took stand for justice, right side and made
his point clear about anything.
Shastri strongly believed in equality. He

60
FREEDOM FIGHTER
considered caste system as a disturbance in
society. He also cut off his surname at an early
age. After joining the Kahsi Vidyapeeth and
graduating in philosophy, he got the attribute
name “Shastri”.
He also fought against dowry system and he
also implemented the same in his life. He dint
expect or accept any dowry from his wife’s
side. He rather took khadi fabric and spinning
cloth as dowry. So, by this we learned that he
wasn’t a man who said but did it!
He lived for public service- When Shastri was
jailed, his family received pension of Rs.50. His
wife, visited jail to meet him and said that she
is able to save Rs. 10 every month from
his pension. Listening to this Shastri asked
the Government to reduce his pension of
Rs.10 And offer the money to needy.
Post independence, he was appointed
as the Minister of Police and Transport
Control. When he was in the post, he
made great amendments which are still
continuing till today. He placed women in
post of conductors for public transport.
Being a leader, Shastri always showed
integrity to public. In, 1956 there was a
tragic train accident and 142 people died in
the incident. When this incident happened,

Shastri was still the incharge
of transport and he resigned
the post taking it as moral
responsibility. Prime Minister
Jawaharlal Nehru recognized
Shastri as a man of highest
integrity.
Instead of
lathi charge,
he replaced
with water
jets to control
public. Such
acts clearly
shows that he
was a leader
with kind
heart.
Lal
Bahadur
Shastri
As Prime
Minister-
A man of
Peace
In the year
1964, Nehru
died and he
was in post
at that time.
After his death, it was big
question for India about the
next prime minister. Then,
K.Kamaraju, the president of
Congress Party decided to
appoint Shastri as next prime
minister. Shastri elevated his
values and ethics even as
prime minister.
As prime minister of nation, the
leader would have many duties.
We must say that Shastri
balanced the government and
people’s welfare.
Lal Bahadur Shastri was
the one who started Green
Revolution when India was
facing food shortage. He also
expressed his respect for
nation’s farmers and soldiers
by creating a slogan “Jai Jawan
and Jai Kisan”.
Shastri got the name “Man
of peace”. Shastri declared
ceasefire with Pakistan.
He wanted peace in nation
and not aggression or
violence. After he took this
decision, he also signed
the declaration
of Tashkent. Not
just this, he was
a “man of peace”
when he had to
take a decision
as a responsible
leader.
Shastri’s
Death- India
Lost
A great
Leader
Shastri attended
a summit along
with Pakistani
President
Muhammad Ayub
Khan in Tashkent.
They both signed
On 10 January
1966, Shastri
and Khan signed
the Tashkent Declaration.
The very next day, Shastri
died of heart attack. His
death is called a mystery
and believed that he was
poisoned to death as his
dead body turned to blue.

Ways to beat
a sedentary lifestyle
Beat The Blues!
LIFE STYLE

Procrastinating is easy and so is leading a sedentary lifestyle.
You are likely doing both if your health is affected and badly
hampered. For the most part, the condition associated with a
sedentary lifestyle does impose negative impacts on the health
in the long run. It is likely that the habit that you are now
brushing aside as normal might end up taking a toll on your
health in the long run and you wouldn’t even realize
the same happening.

72
Let us take a look at some of the
best ways to beat a sedentary
lifestyle, shall we?
Start with an alarm
One of the most common reasons why
people tend to have a sedentary lifestyle is
because they start their day lazy. Nobody
likes the sound of an alarm but if you want
to beat the blues, you do need to overcome
that issue. Setting an alarm has been found
to be quite beneficial, especially in helping
promote an active mindset that you can
carry around throughout the day for better
results.
Keep a check on hydration
Not many realize this but your levels of
hydration affects your mood and mental
health. If you are dehydrated, chances are
that you will experience the same in your
moods too, making your less energetic and
propelling you towards a sedentary lifestyle.
This is the reason why it is best that you
drink the optimal levels of water as required
and ensure the best impacts for your health.
Step out of the house
It doesn’t matter whether you are shopping
for your needs or going out to buy some
groceries, do it! Engaging in some activity
outside the house is actually an amazing
way to pull yourself out of the rut and
preventing the prolonging of the sedentary
lifestyle that you might be experiencing.
This is the reason why it is important that
you get yourself out of the funk of the
technology and actually step out of the
house to get things done for yourself.
Walk your dog
If you have a dog, one of the best ways to
break out of the sedentary lifestyle is by taking
them out on a walk. This has been found quite
beneficial, especially in helping keep your body
active, muscles contracting normally and the
blood flowing around the body without any
issues. It also helps you get some fresh air in,
which again has amazing benefits on your mind
and mood. Take your dog to a park around, or
even walk them in your community around.
LIFE STYLE

Get those muscles moving
Exercising is possibly one of the very best
ways to break out of the rut of a sedentary
lifestyle. Not many realize this but you can
counteract the inactivity only by being active.
One of the best ways to get into a routine is
by joining a gym and paying 6 months upfront
for it. When you have spent your money on it,
chances are that you wouldn’t want the same
to go to waste, thus helping you get a hang of
things and help you lead an active lifestyle.
Maintain a healthy diet
As weird as it might sound, your diet is a
matter of concern when you already have
a sedentary lifestyle. Your body is already
storing fats, so the last thing you want is to
end up contributing more to it. You don’t
necessarily have to bring or introduce drastic
changes to the body but ensure that you are
eating consciously and eating a nutritious
diet without any complaints as such.

10Boundaries for
Relationship- How to Set them?
RELATIONSHIP
When you are taking your relationship to the edge to
break- that shows you are committing mistakes. Agree
that you must be committed in relationship but not
committing mistakes through out. For this, you must
set some boundaries.
When we talk about boundaries in love, people object.
Not all though. Keep you mind calm and learn that
even love must have the threshold. The boundaries
that doesnt break your relationship but keep it
highly strongly.

76
RELATIONSHIP
Now, here are some of the
boundaries that you must
draw across your relationship.
Know them to build a happy
relationship.
Boundaries That You Set
in A Relationship
1. Expectations-
They Eat Up Love
When someone loves you
more than anything, you
may tend to raise your
expectations. What kind
of expectations a couple
tend to have?
To take the domination,
to be patient, tolerate the
mood swings and some
of the common things.
Some day, it hurts you
both. Always keeping the
expectations and making
them possible for you
is not love. It is just taking
advantage of someone’s
goodness.
The kindness, respect and
love that a couple gets from
each other will lasts no longer
with high expectations. The
one who is working for others
expectations will get out the
tolerance level.
It is also like testing patience
by expecting too much. So,
there must be boundaries for
expectations when it comes
to tolerance, difficulty and
domination as well.
2. Sexual behaviour-
Consider wish and
will
Sex and intimacy helps
in feeling attached and
connected. It is the best
way to express even being
speechless. All this is only
when you behave within
the boundaries.
How can you say that
sexual behaviour of
one is boundary less or
unacceptable? Though
you are in love- you
can easily say when it
is uneasy. When you
the person forcing for
sex against the wish or
expressing sexual feelings
violently. Until the the
partner is uncomfortable,
hurt it is unacceptable- in
simple words.
It is only to make love
when you are in love but
not to cross the boundaries
which is hurtful.
3. Past stories-
Don’t be an open
book
Many of the couple in love
relationship become an
open book. I understand
the importance of
transparency but not
don’t let it affect your
relationship.
The closeness that you
both have will let you
share every small bit of
your past. But the same
bits ruin your present when
you have clashes. Again
it doesn’t mean, you are
keeping secrets. It is just
means that everything
comes in front eventually
when.

Keep it answerable as you are in a serious
relationship. All I would say is don’t be too
open or maintain too many secrets. Leave
what is not needed and discuss something
that builds your relationship.
4. Family- Just unite with
affection
You have many fragments in a
relationship and one of the mains is
family. When you are interacting with each
others families, you must not forget to
draw the boundaries.
When you have no boundaries for family
interactions, there you experience the
differences. The opinions and realities
that you will get mixed up. This creates
confusion then creates the problems.
It is not good to know everything. It
is enough to know the reality but not
everything again. So, family means
everything and don’t let it mix up with your
relationship with no limits.
5. Financial aspects- Equal
and Clear
We express the problems that we
are going through. Then also expect
to understand, support. This doesn’t
sound so easy when it comes financial
aspects. When you both or one of you
are expecting to support financially
without boundaries, then it will go wrong
someday.
Asking how and why not?
Spending from one side is a burden.
When your experience the bitterness, this
makes you feel like a loss for yourself.
You would want to spend someone who
is yours. Until you are practical, you don’t

78
RELATIONSHIP
understand the importance of setting
boundaries for financial problems.
6. Comparisons- Not to
create disturbances
Comparisons in relationships is
relationship comes when you have
to talk about equality. Do you think,
there must be limits to measure-
who is working harder, smarter and
intelligent or wise?
When you feel there is a need to
compare, you can do it for sure but
have the boundaries. Don’t compare
till your partner feels the inferior
complexity.
7. Communication- Don’t
stay in your world too long
Communication is the main key for a
happy relationship. It is good to take
time to spend time and communicate
with each other. But there must be
limits even to give time or take time
for it.
Are you trying to interact for every
few minutes? It can be that- you
forget yourself and importance of self
love in order to communicate well
with each other. This is not the right
way to stay connected.
When you are communication
has no borders, you also pot out
people around you. You give least
importance to yourself or others. You
will fail to socialize with people.
Communicate in a way that you both connect
and it is not always needed to disconnect
with world and yourself. Once in while, it is
important for a couple to go into their own
world but remember to come back as well.
8. Care and Possessiveness
It feels lucky to have a caring partner. It is good
to be caring or possessive within the limits.
The care overturns, it becomes suffocation and
over possessiveness snatches the space.
The boundary less care makes your
relationship the toxic. Sometimes, you must
fence your emotions and feelings. Show the
care but give space. You cant deny that “love
is freedom”.
9. Don’t show off your weakness
When you show off your weakness, you will
start to lose your confidence. You will develop
with insecurities. You will start expecting too

much from your partner which can ruin
the relationship itself.
Obviously! When you share your
problem, you expect your partner to
understand you. Give you attention and
do what you desire. So, set a bar in
expressing your weakness as it is always
not possible to do what you expect. This
will hurt you and mislead your thoughts.
You will be able to feel the difference
after reading this. The difference of
having a happy relationship with and
without sharing your weaknesses.
10. External relationships
Hope you are aware of couple
socializing? It is fun to socialize with
other as a couple. You also take
relationship advises from your friends,
colleagues and relatives. There is a
need to check how the outsiders are
influencing you about your relationship.
Don’t share each and every bit of your
relationship with your friends and close
ones. When something turns unexpected,
it will also affect your relationship. Don’t
let someone give you unnecessary
advises.
Have that clarity about your own
relationship. The best way to not let your
relationship impact is to discuss and clear
within yourselves before approaching
someone.
You will be a happy couple keeping your
love limited. Love is not to restrict but the
various aspects that make your love stand
must be limited. All the boundaries to set
in the relationship are attached with reality
and practicality that you need in life.

change, have a new flavour. Also arrange it like
a coffee table.
Get your coffee table out into the open space
of your house. Have two chairs and chill having
that new flavoured coffee. Stay silent and just
enjoy your partner company, coffee and nature.

It is of very little change but makes a big
difference.
11. Couple spa

relaxing massage with fragrance oils.
You can make it feel luxurious and exotic.
You can make your room and arrange
it like a mini serene place. A couple is
worth taking such little pleasures together

spend too much like outside spa.
Doing all these ideas, you will know how
interesting you can be just at home. We

to the negative exposure that the country has
gotten over the years, people often mistake
it for an unsafe spot which is not the case in
reality. But, in reality, this is considered one
of the best spots to visit and explore and that
too, on a budget. The enclave of Tullum is an

absolute must visit while you are there. While
there, you can explore around the Mexico City,
and the Yucatan Peninsula as well, which is
quite popular.
NO-4 Argentina
Yet another one of the cheapest countries
in the world that you can visit and explore is
Argentina. The country does experience a
constant to and fro with their economy but to
be fair, the same pans out well for the travellers
with the western currency. Visiting Argentina is
not just a sight for the sore eyes but very light
on the budget too, making this a good option
for many. The accommodation there often even
costs $5 for a hostel room dorm which is perfect
for the solo travellers. Explore the capital city of
Buenos Aires and Cordoba while you are there.
NO-5 Romania
The country of Romania is one of the most
beautiful spots to visit on a vacation. This
Transylvanian region has breathtaking views
and experiences that make it worth your
while. The medieval towns and the amazingly
intricate architecture of the castles will leave
you speechless. While you are there, you can
even explore the majestic Carpathian mountain
range. The place is completely safe to visit,
unlike what many might think. This is one of
the best destinations for the backpackers who
have been looking for a cheap place to visit and
explore.
NO-6 Nepal
If you like mountain ranges, Buddhism and the
overall cultures surrounding the same, Nepal
is one of the best spots to visit and explore.
The best thing about Nepal, apart from the fact
that it is light on your pocket, is the fact that the
people are so warm and welcoming there. The
capital city of Kathmandu is possibly one of the
best spots to visit and explore. If you want, you

can even go on guided mountaineering treks there
which is one of the most popular site of attraction.
While there, make sure to try out the local street
food, especially the kind of dumplings that’s
famous there – momos.
NO-7 Indonesia
While people do have misconceptions thinking
that Indonesia is a very costly country, it actually
isn’t. Bali, the capital city, is expensive and can
end up digging a hole in the pocket but the rest of
the cities around won’t cost you much but offer a
breathtaking view of the natural beauty around. If
you want something that’s light on the pocket, but,
at the same time, quite amazing as well, visiting
Lombok and Java can be two good spots for you.
There are a number of spots around that are
worth visiting, so make sure that you do plan your
itinerary accordingly.
NO-8Turkey
If you have heard of Turkey or known about
Turkey just for its food or the political significance,
it is high time that you do bring forth changes to
that. Turkey is more than just those two things.
The place holds innumerable spots that are
worth exploring and witnessing with your own
two eyes. The place is enriched with rich cultural
significance which is one of the primary reasons
why it is such a popular spot to visit and explore.
While there, explore the beautiful Romanian ruins
and the wide range of shopping spots that will
fetch you some of the most unique things. Don’t
forget to pick up some Turkish delight on the way
and try their local dishes.
NO-9 Bolivia
If you are looking for a place to visit that is not
just cheap but quite underrated too, Bolivia is the
place to be in. The place has a very laidback vibe
to it which is loved by some and not so much by
others. It all comes down to personal preferences
INDIAN TRAVELOGUE

and the kind of things you like that makes this
a worthy visit. It holds some of the continent’s
most breathtaking sites that you just can’t get
anywhere else. It is also home to the world’s
highest lake, Titicaca and has a number of
other natural spots that are worth visiting. If
you are into adventure, visiting Bolivia is an
absolute must for you.
NO-10Cambodia
For those looking for some peace of mind and
some solace, visiting Cambonia is possibly
one of the most popular sites without any
questions. While the place is predominantly
and popular known around the world for Angkor
Wat, that was once part of the Khmer empire,
it is also home to a number of spots around as
well. The sprawling natural beauty around this
place is worth the visit and definitely accounts
for one of the most breathtaking experience
like never before. The islands around are quite
underdeveloped but that is what adds to the
beauty of the place even more.
NO-11 Ukraine
Nobody will understand the beauty of Ukraine
unless they go and actually visit the place.
This is one of the many reasons why this is
considered such an underrated yet cheap on
the budget spot that you can likely explore
around. The country does boast quite a lot of
political unrest at times but nevertheless, it
is a worthy visit that you necessarily wouldn’t
regret spending your money on. The city of
Odessa is possibly one of the most popular
sites to visit there and make sure that you
are exploring the surrounding regions without
fail as well. It is perfect for the digital nomads
who want to explore Europe.
NO-12 Philippines
Asia is filled with countries that are affordable
to visit and won’t compromise on the overall
experience too. Philippines are one such
country that is known for their natural beauty
and their unique food dishes too. The best
thing about this spot is the variety of the
landscapes that you get to experience,
ranging from the normal greenery to the
breathtaking beaches around. The coastlines
around are often considered the best bet for
you to visit and explore without putting in
much thoughts into things at all. While you
are there, make sure to explore the island of
Palawan and the Batanes province as well.
