Belarus (Agencies): A
Ukrainian presidential advis-
er today called for the retreat
of all Russian forces from
Ukrainian territory. The de-
mand came as Russia and
Ukraine began ceasefire talks
on the Belarusian border.
The talks are being held at
Ukraine’s border with Belarus
-- near the Chernobyl exclu-
sion zone -- after a call between
President Volodymyr Zelen-
sky and Belarus leader Alex-
ander Lukashenko. Ukraine
had earlier refused to talk in
Belarus, where Russian troops
were stationed before the inva-
sion.
According to Sputnik, Rus-
sian President Vladamir Putin
reportedly told his French
counterpart Emmanuel Ma-
cron that Ukraine solution is
possible only if Russia’s secu-
rity interests are considered.
Meanwhile, according to
AFP, Russian shelling killed at
least 11 civilians in Ukraine’s
second largest city of Kharkiv
on Monday
.

West Bengal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee Monday
offered unconditional support
to Prime Minister Narendra
Modi on the Ukraine issue
and urged him to consider
convening an all-party
meeting for a national resolve
to emerge from the crisis
in sync with the country’s
long-standing stand for
international peace and non-
aggression.
Ukrainian President Volo-
dymyr Zelensky on Mon-
day urged the European
Union to grant his country
“immediate” member-
ship, as Russia’s assault
against the pro-Western
country went into its fifth
day. “We appeal to the
European Union for the
immediate accession of
Ukraine via a new special
procedure,” the 44-year-
old leader said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while chairing a meeting
over the ongoing crisis in Ukraine on Monday, decided
to send four Union Ministers to Poland and Romania to
oversee the evacuation of thousands of Indians, including
students, who are still stuck there. Meanwhile, Air India’s
fifth evacuation flight landed in Delhi with 249 Indians.
Indian students who are in
conflict-hit Ukraine should
try to move towards the
western side of the country
and stay in nearby towns
and not reach the border
directly, MEA said.
Russia has announced it is
banning flights by airlines
from 36 countries includ-
ing Britain and Germany in
response to a slew of bans
on its planes. Its list also
includes Jersey.
Anastasia Lenna, who
represented Ukraine in the
Miss Grand International
in 2015, is now joining
the Ukrainian military as it
fights Russian forces.
India abstained from UNSC
procedural vote to call for a
rare emergency session of
the UNGA on Ukraine. The
resolution was adopted with
11 votes in favour, paving the
way for the General Assembly
to meet on Monday.

it from dealing in dollars.
All this is aimed at squeez-
ing Moscow into stopping the
war and withdrawing its
troops from Ukraine. That is
not happening as reports
suggested that Belarus will
join the war alongside Rus-

FEBRUARY 25:
APPETITE
Is it justified to think that na-
tions have personalities,
along with tastes, fears and
desires? People do. But can
we assume there is an equiv-
alence between the demon-
strable inclinations of a na-
tional government and the
needs, ambitions and predi-
lections of the people in a
democracy? It appears ever
more obvious that the politi-
cal class — increasingly per-
ceived as an isolated elite in
modern societies — is less
representative of and respon-
sive to the people who elect
its leaders and officials than
to the economic and cultural
elite those politicians tend to
associate and identify with.
In a Los Angeles Times ar-
ticle on the Kremlin’s view of
international sanctions, Da-
vid Pierson and Sam Dean
seek to explain how the West
has been elaborating an effec-
tive strategy designed to
counter Russia’s militarily
assault on Ukraine. “With no
appetite for military confron-
tation,” they write, “the U.S.
and its allies are relying on
sweeping economic sanctions
to persuade Russian Presi-
dent Vladimir Putin to pull
out of Ukraine.”
Most people would find
this sentence a reasonable
description of the American
reaction to events in Eastern
Europe. The comforting mes-
sage is that the West has no
interest in war. The damage
and suffering caused by this
war can be blamed on one
government and indeed one
man, Vladimir Putin.
But does it make any sense
to talk of an “appetite” when
speaking of the foreign poli-
cy of a nation? If the meta-
phor of a nation’s appetite
has any factual foundation in
the realm of foreign policy,
the history of the United
States over at least the past
three-quarters of a century
reveals an aptitude of Amer-
ican leaders for war in all its
forms, which may or may not
reflect an appetite or even a
craving of its leaders.
Recent decades have re-
vealed a proclivity of the
American political class to
toggle between physical war-
fare itself — which tradition-
ally pitted trained and
equipped armies against
each other — and economic
warfare directed against en-
tire civilian populations. The
latter has recently been
deemed by political leaders
to be more humane, even
though it spreads suffering
wider and disproportionate-
ly affects uncounted masses
of people not remotely in-
volved in wartime aggres-
sion or any of the practices
cited to justify going to war.
In 1996, when Madeleine
Albright, the US ambassador
to the UN at the time, was
asked about the death of
500,000 Iraqi children due to
US sanctions, she said “the
price is worth it.” This re-
flects the kind of political
calculus that counts half a
million lives not as a tragedy,
but as a “price,” something to
be evaluated in purely mon-
etary terms. In moral terms,
Albright was counting on a
form of specious reasoning
that says if we haven’t direct-
ly sought to kill those chil-
dren, we bear no responsibil-
ity
. Their sacrifice is thus of
no concern.
A similar form of reason-
ing led to the policy privi-
leged at least since Barack
Obama’s presidency of see-
ing drone warfare as humane
because it is “clean,” to the
extent that it precludes any
risk to the “good guys” (our-
selves) doing the killing. If
only bad people are being
killed, war appears to be hu-
mane and possibly as fun as
playing a video game.
So now The Los Angeles
Times wants us to accept the
idea that American leaders
have “no appetite for military
confrontation” in the current
Ukraine drama. Apart from
the irrelevance of the ques-
tion of appetite, that idea is
contestable for another rea-
son. In this case, it isn’t a
question of desire, aptitude,
proclivity or even ingrained
habit. The unwillingness to
mount a military operation is
due to the simple fact that the
United States has no legal jus-
tification for engaging in
physical war with Russia,
which has not threatened US
security or the security of
any NATO nation.

O
Language allows people to
express thoughts, theories,
ideas, experiences and opin-
ions. But even while doing so,
it also serves to obscure what
is essential for understanding
the complex nature of reality.
When people use language
to hide essential meaning,
it is not only because they
cynically seek to prevaricate
or spread misinformation. It
is because they strive to tell
the part or the angle of the
story that correlates with their
needs and interests.

New Delhi (Agencies):
Human-caused climate
change is now dealing
damage to every region
of the world, with al-
most half of humanity
at risk of increasing
harm to their lives and
livelihoods, concludes a
landmark UN report re-
leased on Monday
.
In its report focusing
on the impacts of glob-
al warming on people
and the planet, the In-
ternational Panel on
Climate Change says
that every inhabited
continent is already ex-
periencing multiple cli-
mate impacts, from
droughts and flooding
to biodiversity loss and
falling food production.
Between 3.3 to 3.6 bil-
lion people live in areas
“highly vulnerable to
climate change,” the
authors warn, with
“additional severe
risks” should the Earth
warm beyond 1.5 de-
grees Celsius (2.7 de-
grees Fahrenheit).
Some of the effects
“will be irreversible,
even if global warming
is reduced.”
Emphasising that the
harms caused by global
warming go far beyond
simply the thread of
fires and flooding, the
report finds: “Climate
change impacts are in-
creasingly being felt in
all regions of the world
with growing challeng-
es for water availabili-
ty, food production and
the livelihoods of mil-
lions of people.”
Crucially, these
harms will intensify
rapidly over the com-
ing years.
“We also know that
impacts will continue
to increase if drastic
cuts in greenhouse gas
emissions are further
delayed—affecting the
lives of today’s chil-
dren tomorrow and
those of their children
much more than ours.”
The report is vital
because it represents
the consensus view of
thousands of climate
researchers from 195
countries, and as such
is intended to guide the
plans that governments
put in place to respond
and adapt to the chang-
ing climate. But the au-
thors say governments
are not doing anywhere
near enough to meet
the threat.
“This report is a dire
warning about the con-
sequences of inaction,”
said Hoesung Lee,
Chair of the IPCC.

CLIMATE BREAKDOWN
From West to East, UP people have
rejected ‘ghor parivaarvadis’: PM
Ballia (ANI): A day af-
ter the conclusion of
the fifth phase of elec-
tions in the ongoing As-
sembly polls in Uttar
Pradesh, Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi on
Monday said that the
people of the state have
rejected the ‘ghor pari-
vaarvadis’ (family-ori-
ented leaders) from
West to East and have
shown that the “vehicle
of UP will not be strand-
ed in the lanes of caste”.
“Five phases of elec-
tions have concluded in
Uttar Pradesh. From
West to East, the ‘ghor
parivaarvadis’ have
been rejected. The peo-
ple of UP have shown
that the vehicle of UP
will not be stranded in
the lanes of caste, but it
has gained pace on the
highway of develop-
ment. Rising above
caste, respecting the na-
tional interest and op-
posing dynasty is the
definitionof Ballia,”PM
Modi said here while ad-
dressing a public rally
.
Lauding Chief Minis-
ter Yogi Adityanath for
“bringing the law and
order of the state back
on track”, the Prime
Minister said that the
“ghor parivaarvadis
had destroyed the law
and order situation in
the state during their
tenure in office.
“Development of Bal-
lia, Purvanchal and Ut-
tar Pradesh is my duty
as well as my priority.
Today, along with
Poorvanchal, every re-
gion is being given at-
tention to the develop-
ment, be it electricity,
road, hospital. The
‘ghor parivaarvadis’
had destroyed the law
and order situation in
the state. Yogi Adity-
anath is bringing it
back on track,” he said.
Hitting out at the pre-
vious Samajwadi Party
government in the state
led by party chief Akh-
ilesh Yadav on the issue
of law and order, PM
Modi said that the busi-
nessman of Ballia can-
not forget how the
goons snatched their
money during his rule.
“The businessmen of
Ballia cannot forget
how the goons snatched
their money. Under the
government of Chief
Minister Yogi, the busi-
nessman of Ballia is
feeling safe. The daugh-
ters no more have the
fear of goons when they
go out of their homes,”
he said.
In the sixth phase,
polling will be held in 57
assembly seats in 10 dis-
tricts on March 3.
The 2022 Assembly
elections are being held
in Uttar Pradesh from
February 10 to March 7
in seven phases to elect
403 members of the Ut-
tar Pradesh Legislative
Assembly. The votes
will be counted and the
results will be declared
on March 10, 2022.

tancy.
“Had Akhilesh Ya-

POST PUNJAB ELECTION RESULTS,
WILL AKALI-BJP FORGE ALLIANCE?
Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: The assem-
bly elections in Punjab
are over and with this
the discussion of the
coming together of both
the old allies – Akali Dal
and BJP has started. On
the very next day of vot-
ing,AkalileaderBikram
Majithia has said that
after the elections, there
can be coordination be-
tween the two parties.
Although he had said
this in the context of
forming the govern-
ment, which is not visi-
ble. Still, even if the gov-
ernment is formed or
not, both the parties can
come together. The Aka-
li Dal withdrew support
from the government on
theissueof threecontro-
versial agricultural
laws. Now that the gov-
ernment has abolished
that law, Akalis will not
objecttoreturningtothe
NDA again.
Ontheotherhand,the
Bharatiya Janata Party
also has to look towards
the 2024 Lok Sabha elec-
tions. It knows that it
will have to work harder
andgarnersupportfrom
more parties to form the
government next time.
That is why the BJP will
also welcome the Akali
Dal with an open heart.
Keep in mind that the
decree issued by Dera
Sacha Sauda for Dera
lovers before voting was
for both BJP and Akali.
In ‘code’, Dera support-
ers were asked to vote
for the lotus and weigh
scale.Moreover,itseems
that non-political forces
will also play a role in
bringing the two togeth-
er. The issue will be on
whether Harsimrat
KaurBadalwillbemade
a minister again at the
Center or not. Akali
leaders would like her to
become a minister
again. Discussion about
this will happen after
the Punjab assembly re-
sultsandbeforethepres-
idential elections.

Tharoor’s view on Ukraine personal: Cong
New Delhi: Though
Rahul Gandhi has used
sharp words to urge the
government to evacu-
ate students from
Ukraine, the Congress’
official statement on
Russia’s invasion of
Ukraine is far more
diplomatic and is simi-
lar to the government’s
stand at the UN after
abstaining from a vote
to denounce Russia.
Congress leader
Shashi Tharoor, in fact,
was far sharper on In-
dia’s abstention at the
UN.
“After our absten-
tion, many regretted
that India had placed
itself on the ‘wrong
side of history’,” Tha-
roor had said.
Anand Sharma said
his colleague’s views
“are personal” and re-
marked that strong
words must not be
used. “The path of dip-
lomatic negotiations
must be embraced in
all sincerity for a nego-
tiated resolution of all
issues between Russia
and Ukraine, respect-
ing the Minsk and Rus-
sia-NATO agreements
and earlier understand-
ings,” said a statement
from former Union
Minister Anand Shar-
ma, who heads the par-
ty’s foreign affairs de-
partment.
“The Congress while
expressing its anguish
is of the considered
view that the interna-
tional community must
work together for ces-
sation of armed con-
flict and early restora-
tion of peace to save
human lives and fur-
ther aggravation of the
crisis,” said the Con-
gress statement.

The sect chief is
serving a 20-year jail

August 2017.
A Rohtak police offi-

was brought from Gu-

He was granted the

Muslim students from
Udupi denied entry to
attend practical exams
Bengaluru (PTI): On
Monday three Muslims
students of Udupi Gov-
ernment PU College for
Girls were disallowed
from attending their sci-
ence practical examina-
tionsforwearinghijabto
class. Among the stu-
dents were AH Almas,
one of the petitioners
who had approached the
Karnataka High Court
seeking per-
mission to
wear hijab to
the college.
On 10 February
, in an
interim order the court
banned hijab and other
religious clothing on
campuses where uni-
form is prescribed by
College Development
Committee (CDC).
On Monday
, the stu-
dentswereaskedtoleave
the campus in “five min-
utes,” they alleged. In a
video posted on Twitter,
Almas said, “The princi-
pal told us that he will
call the police if we do
notleaveinfiveminutes.
It was very cruel.”
The students were not
allowed to submit their
practical record books
for attestation from the
faculty concerned, she
alleged. “The teachers
refused to sign the re-
cord books.”
In a press conference
held the pre-
vious week,
the students
had request-
ed the state govt to post-
pone science practical
exams as students who
wear hijab are not al-
lowed to attend classes.
The protest for hijab
started in the Udupi col-
lege in December 2021.
The hijab protest,
however, met with vehe-
ment opposition from
Hindu students who
were backed by Hindu
right-wing outfits.

’FADNAVIS USED GUJ SNOOPING MODEL IN MAHA’
New Delhi: Maharash-
tra Congress chief
spokesperson Atul
Londhe on Monday al-
leged that the Bharati-
ya Janata Party`s Lead-
er of Opposition Deven-
dra Fadnavis had intro-
duced a `Gujarat brand`
of surveillance tactics
in Maharashtra and de-
manded a through
probe into the matter.
His demand came amid
the backdrop of the FIR
lodged on Feb 26 by the
Pune police against for-
mer city Police Com-
missioner Rashmi
Shukla in the illegal
phone-tapping case.
“IPS officer Rashmi
Shukla is merely a
pawn.
The real culprits are
those who guided her.
Fadnavis was the state
CM and he implement-
ed the `Gujarat surveil-
lance model` in Maha-
rashtra,” Londhe said
here. His comments
also endorsed state par-
ty president Nana
Patole`s demand on
Sunday that the role of
Fadnavis who was han-
dling the home portfo-
lio during the relevant
period must be investi-
gated in the illegal
phone tapping case.
Speaking to the media
here, Londhe charged
that the `Gujarat sur-
veillance model` -- in
which the government
of the adjoining state
allegedly snooped on
people and overheard
their private conversa-
tions was introduced in
Maharashtra by
Fadnavis.”After 2017,
the phone numbers of
Patole, Shiv Sena, Na-
tionalist Congress Par-
ty and Congress lead-
ers, ministers, certain
BJP leaders and their
ministers, top bureau-
crats and others were
tapped illegally. The
snooping was ostensi-
bly to link them with
drug dealers”.
CONG ALLEGED THAT FADNAVIS HAD INTRODUCED A `GUJARAT BRAND` OF SURVEILLANCE TACTICS AND DEMANDS PROBE INTO MATTER
PROBE FADNAVIS ROLE IN
ILLEGAL CELL TAPPING CASE
Nagpur: Against the backdrop of the illegal
phone-tapping FIR lodged by police against a
senior woman IPS officer Rashmi Shukla on
Saturday, the Maharashtra Congress on Monday
said that the investigators should probe the role
of Bharatiya Janata Party Leader of Opposition
Devendra Fadnavis in the entire matter. “The IPS
officer Rashmi Shukla is merely a pawn. The real
culprits are those who guided her when Fadnavis
was the state chief minister,” state Chief Spokes-
person Atul Londhe said here. His comments
came a day after state Party President Nana
Patole demanded that the role of Fadnavis who

New Delhi: An interest-
ing assessment of the
meetings of Parliament
and State Legislatures
has been published. Ac-
cordingtothis,themeet-
ings of Parliament and
Legislatures are getting
less and less every year
in India.
The second thing is
that if you compare it
with other countries of
theworld,thenIndiahas
the least number of sit-
tings in the legislature.
Most of the time even in
the meetings that take
place,itgoesintouproar
and controversy
. In fact,
the work of the legisla-
tureinIndiaisnolonger
to discuss and consider
every aspect of a law be-
fore enacting it. In many
cases, the government
has already enacted a
law through an ordi-
nance and even if it is
not implemented, it be-
comes a law after a max-
imum debate of three
minutes to three hours.
However, the Lok Sabha
in India sits for an aver-
age of 63 days in a year,
while the state legisla-
tures have an average of
30 days. Think assem-
blies meet for only 30
days in a whole year! In
this also, the Legislative
Assemblies of Punjab
and Haryana sit for an
average of 15 days in a
year.
The maximum as-
sembly meetings are
held in Odisha for 46
days and in Kerala for 43
days. In Britain, the
House of Commons
meets for 140 days as
against the Lok Sabha
meeting for 63 days in a
year. India has adopted
the same model of Brit-
ain, which has been go-
ingonforthreehundred
years and even now the
lower house of its Par-
liament meets 140 days
in a year, but in India, it
meets for merely 63
days. America’s lower
house i.e. House of Rep-
resentatives met for 166
days in 2021 and 163
days in 2020 amid the
Corona epidemic. The
upper house i.e. the Sen-
ate met more than this.

Sanjay Pandey as new
chief of Mumbai police
Mumbai: Sanjay Pan-

the new Mumbai Police
commissioner, replac-
ing the incumbent He-
mant Nagrale. An offi-

grale will take over as
Managing Director of

This is the third time

guard. Then city police
chief Param Bir Singh

case and was replaced
by Mr Nagrale. Mr Pan-

given the full charge, he
was replaced by Rajnish
Seth, a 1988 batch IPS of-
ficer, earlier this month,
after the BHC rapped
the state govt. Following
the reshuffle, Mr Pan-
dey said the system
worked to “undo some
of the injustice” done to
his career record in the
past and he was leaving
the post with a “clear
conscience”.

New Delhi (ANI):
Prime Minister Naren-

said that PM Gati Shak-
ti initiative will lead to
rapid infrastructure

generate employment.
Addressing a webinar
on Monday, the Prime
Minister said, “PM Gati

also generate employ-
ment.
With PM GatiShakti,
we will be able to opti-
mally utilise our re-

that PM Gati Shakti
will enhance the infra-
structural fervour of
New India. “To fulfil the
dreams of 21st century
India, PM Gati Shakti
will enhance the infra-
structural fervour of
New India,” he said.
“Usually, we develop in-
frastructure according
to our requirements.
Whether it is a work of
rail or road, there are
conflicts between the
two. This is because dif-
ferent departments
don’t have details of all
development projects,”
he said. The govern-
ment informed earlier

an initiative aimed at
synergizing the infra-
structure projects of all
key infrastructure Min-

Jaipur (PTI): CM
Ashok Gehlot has urged
the Centre to bring a
legislation to provide
social security to the
needy
.
During the UPA re-
gime led by Manmohan
Singh, an era of provid-
ing rights to people —
be it Right to Education,
Right to Information,
MGNREGA or the Food
Security Act — was
started, he said.
“Countrymen should
have the right to social
security. The Centre
should bring a legisla-
tion to give a guarantee
of social security to
people, be it destitute,
single women, elderly
people, labourers etc,”
he told PTI.
“Machines have their
significance but human
labour is very impor-
tant and it is the duty of
the governments to take
care of them.
“They have issues
when they attain old
age aren’t able to
work. That is where the
role of government be-
comes crucial in pro-
viding them security,”
he said. “ Government
has taken many initia-
tives, including budget
announcement for re-
vival of old pension
scheme for employees,
free treatment for them
and increasing the
amount under CM Chi-
ranjeevi Health Insur-
ance Scheme from Rs 5L
to Rs 10L per family
.”
Be it health,
employment
or agriculture
sector, the state gov-
ernment has been tak-
ing regular steps for
the last three years.
During the corona
pandemic, we instant-
ly took the initiative to
provide financial as-
sistance of Rs 5,500 to
destitute families.

Knowledgeable sources in
Rajasthan Congress have
revealed that Archana’s name
was to appear in the first list
of political appointments as
she was to be appointed in
the social welfare board itself
but in the meantime the cen-
tre took a decision, binding
to all the states, to abolish
the social welfare board. In
such a situation, Archana
Sharma’s name was stuck in
the first list but CM Gehlot
formed the Rajasthan Social
Welfare Board at the state
level and appointed Archana
Sharma as Chairman of the
Board.
“MLA sons” have also
been given place in
political appointment as Par-
asram Mordia’s son Mahesh
Mordia has been accorded
a political appointment as a
member in the Youth Board.
Mahesh is considered a
member of Vaibhav Gehlot’s
team. Then, Awadhesh

Moreover, former MLA

ant to recreate
those natural
highlights you
had as a kid? Bal-
ayage can do
that. Balayage
makes you look
like you just returned from
lavish summer vacation. Bal-
ayage says, ‘I have great hair’
in a subtle yet noticeable way
,
not flashy and obvious.
“It’s easy to love balayage
hair colour, the effortlessly
cool hair trend that’s taken
red carpets by storm. The
look is accomplished via
hand-painted highlights, and
clients love the technique be-
cause it gives a natural sun-
kissed look to the hair and
the maintenance is much
easier than traditional foils”,
said Jassi Chhabra, owner of
Shades Skin Hair Care.
Wait, what does “balayage”
mean? The term comes from
the French word “balayer,”
meaning to sweep. It’s a term
that refers to the way the col-
our is applied, not the colour
itself. “Balayage is a tech-
nique where hair colour is
painted onto the hair to cre-
ate a graduated, more natu-
ral-looking highlight effect.
Every balayage is differ-
ent: Placement, gradation,
and colour are based on your
hair colour, texture, and
length, so it can be personal-
ized for each client to high-
light or soften facial features.
A good stylist will always
take into consideration the
client’s skin tone and natural
base colour to determine
which ones will work best.
No two balayage should look
the same — keep that in mind
as you’re looking through
your stylist’s portfolio.
The terms ‘balayage,’
‘ombre,’ ‘babylights,’ and
‘highlights’ are all various
styles and techniques that
refer to the same goal:
lightening the hair. They
can all be combined for the
desired look.

AWAKEN THE LEADER
WITHIN YOU
We all have heard the word ‘leader’, but the true essence
of a leader means much more than the word itself!
ightly said,
leadership is
not about a ti-
tle or a desig-
nation. It’s
about impact
influence and
inspiration. We all
know the meaning of a
leader but do we know
the essence of being a
leader in the true sense?
A true leader is not only
aware of his qualities
and how to make the
best out of himself, but
he is also aware of how
to enhance the skill of
his subordinates so that
they can be developed
into future potential
leaders. The future of
an organization is not
determined by the num-
ber of managers but by
the number of capable
leaders who can sow the
seed of a promising fu-
ture and help it germi-
nate with prudence and
foresightedness.
Our future is never
determined by our
past. Even if we have a
glorious history, it can-
not ensure a golden fu-
ture. Right thoughts
which can create the
right actions at the
right time are precious
building blocks of a
promising future. We
can witness from our
history, many empires
and kingdoms have col-
lapsed due to poor lead-
ership styles. A true
leader knows how to
pave the path towards a
golden tomorrow.
ESHITA SINGH
eshitasingh07396@gmail.com
R
WHO IS A LEADER?
There is an existing
definition of a leader,
‘A true leader has the
confidence to stand
alone, the courage to
make tough decisions,
and the compassion to
listen to the needs of
others. He does not set
out to be a leader, but
becomes one by the
equality of his actions
and the integrity of
his intent.’
When we hear the
word leader we often
think of someone who
does much more than
merely manage people.
In my opinion, a lead-
er is someone who is
extremely capable of
creating great miracu-
lous changes. He has a
positive outlook and his
approach to solving a
problem is very creative
and updated. He is self-
motivated and ensures
to motivate the people
around him as well. A
leader constantly
thrives on development
and helps people to
move forward towards
their goals through con-
stant motivation. A
leader is empathetic
and considerate. He
knows how to use the
qualities and capabili-
ties of people around
him for overall better-
ment which can help
create a better future
for all.
A true leader always
treats the people work-
ing with him with re-
spect and humility. He
knows that irrespective
of the hierarchy, every-
one deserves to be treat-
ed with respect and dig-
nity. He helps in im-
proving the self-esteem
of all the people work-
ing around him. Happy
employees working ef-
fectively with all their
efficiency can produce
miraculous results in
an organization. Em-
ployees in a joyful state
of mind can produce ef-
ficacious results. A true
leader knows how to
ensure maximum pro-
ductivity. A true leader
can never treat the peo-
ple like his slave who
work in a constant state
of fear, humiliation,
and threats. He knows
the importance of self-
respect and self-esteem.
LEADERSHIP IS THE
CAPACITY TO
TRANSLATE VISION
INTO REALITY
A leader with true lead-
ership qualities is re-
quired in every
organization,and socie-
ty
, who can ensure prop-
er growth and develop-
ment of the place and
its people. Living is not
just earning money,
paying bills, and dying.
Being alive signifies
much more than the
normal routine activi-
ties we do. A leader
helps his team to live a
life full of joy, and exu-
berance. He positively
influences the quality
of life of his team.
A leader ensures op-
timum utilization of
available resources.
Human resource is the
most important and
the most delicate part
of any organization,
which can create mira-
cles if properly man-
aged.
GOOD BUSINESS
LEADERS CREATE A
VISION, ARTICULATE
THE VISION,
PASSIONATELY OWN
THE VISION, AND
RELENTLESSLY DRIVE
IT TO COMPLETION. –
JACK WELCH
A leader can create mir-
acles, with his vision
and his team, who are
determined to achieve
their goals with enthu-
siasm and passion.
To make this world a
better place to live for
yourself and for the
future generation,
awaken the leader
within you.

Goddess Parvati,
Mahashivaratri is
celebratedwithre-
ligious fervour
and gaiety in the
entire nation.
On this auspi-
cious day, devo-
tees worship Lord
Shiva in early
morning. On this
day of celebration
of Mahashiv-
aratri, City First
brings you some
astonishing tem-
ples of Mahadev
across the nation,
that every devotee
must visit must
in his lifetime.
T
his beautiful temple
is dedicated to
Meenakshi (God-
dess Parvati) and Sunda-
reswarar (Lord Shiva). It
is the only temple in the
country, where you can
spot Lord Shiva with a
smiling face. The temple
is located in Madurai. It
is one of the most talked-
about mysterious tem-
ples, as its shrines have
historical and mytholog-
ical importance. The
temple has 4000 pillars
and all of them are made
of a single rock
T
ungnath is directly
translated to Lord
of the Peaks and
the place remains true to
its name. It is located in
the Rudraprayag district
of Uttarakhand and is
considered to be the
highest Shiva temple in
the world.
Located at an altitude
of a little over 12,000 feet
at the base of Chan-
drashila peak, this tem-
ple is one of the Panch
Kedars. The temple is
surrounded by snow-
capped peaks on all sides,
and it is truly breathtak-
ingly beautiful and offers
the perfect break that
travellers look for.
MEENAKSHI AMMAN
TEMPLE: MADURAI
TUNGNATH MANDIR
T
he Kailasa temple is
the largest rock-cut
Hindu temple which
was made in the 16th cen-
tury at the Ellora Caves,
Aurangabad. Mythology
says that the structure of
Kailasa cave temple is
built on a single rock and
interestingly the render-
ing of Ramayana is en-
graved in it.
According to various
archaeologists, approxi-
mately 30 million San-
skrit carvings are yet to
be decoded to know the
meaning.
KAILASA TEMPLE: ELLORA
CAVES, MAHARASHTRA
STAMBHESHWAR
MAHADEV: KAVI KAVOI
VILLAGE, GUJARAT
L
ocated in Vadodara, Gujarat, it
is known as a submerging Shi-
va temple and this temple is vis-
ible only during low tides.
LINGARAJA TEMPLE: BHUBANESHWAR
I
t is said that near the
completion of this tem-
ple, Lord Shiva and Lord
Vishnu’s visited the tem-
ple, blessing it forever. Ac-
cording to mythology, in-
side the Garbh Griha, the
lingam is self-originated
and that’s why it’s termed
swayambhu. The temple
often looks much larger
than it is because of its op-
tical illusion.
