M Tariq Khan
Lucknow: The first
phase of polls in Uttar
Pradesh on Thursday
will decide the fate of
nine ministers in the
Yogi government.
The 58 seats in the
Jat-dominated western
region would also de-
cide the future of Rash-
triya Lok Dal (RLD)
leader Jayant Chaud-
hary, who has joined
hands with the SP.
In the 2017 Assembly
polls, the BJP had swept
the region riding on the
overwhelming support
of the Jats, the upper
castes and non-Yadav
OBCs and division in
the Muslim votes.
This phase of polling
is extremely crucial
since it includes dis-
tricts in western UP
where candidates in
several constituencies
are facing hostile vot-
ers, mainly due to the
farmers’ agitation.
Bengaluru: A single-
judge bench of the Kar-
nataka High Court on
Wednesday decided to
refer a batch of peti-
tions questioning a ban
on the use of hijab or
headscarf by Muslim
girls in a few pre-univer-
sity colleges in the state
to a larger bench of the
court on account of the
issues raised in the peti-
tions involving larger
constitutional issues.
Meanwhile, the Ben-
galuru Police issued an
order saying that gath-
erings and protests will
be banned near educa-
tional institutions in
the city for two weeks,
i.e., till February 22.

APPOINTMENT OF PARLIAMENTARY
SECRETARIES SOON
PREFERENCE TO HIGH
COMMAND’S NAMES
With political appointments having begun, the list of par-
liamentary secretaries will be released soon! Discussion
is in full swing after political appointments that brain-
storming is going on regarding this list of parliamentary
secretaries. Although the Supreme Court has put a stay
on facilities of parliamentary secretaries, therefore, legal
opinion is being taken from the government’s side.
With the appointments, the round of political gossip has
also started and word is that the names sent by high
command have been included prominently. Zubair Khan
and Dheeraj Gurjar have found a place in political appoint-
ments due to the ‘Priyanka Gandhi’ factor. Then there is
PCC Chief Govind Singh Dotasara’s quota too, who was
behind the names of Hakam Ali, Sanwar Lal Mahariya
while Harish Chaudhary was lobbying for Sitaram Lamba.

sion that if the bride-
groom has not complet-
ed 21 years and the
bridehasnotcompleted
18 years of age, then
their parents or guard-
ians should apply for
registration within 30
days of marriage.

provision that registra-
tion of child marriages
would also be done com-
pulsorily and the regis-
trationwouldencourage
child marriages.

IMRAN GETS LOW-KEY WELCOME IN CHINA
THE OPPOSITION FINALLY JOIN HANDS TO OUST
THE GOVERNMENT IN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
It is quite known in
Pakistan that during the
tenure of Raheel Sharif
as the army chief, Nawaz
Sharif, was advised to
resign, but he dared the
army to topple him. In
angered Raheel so much
that instead of imposing
martial law, he decided
to control the civilian
government by using the
judiciary and media.
The media was used to
malign the established
political leaders in
cooked-up corruption
cases and the
judiciary ensured
their conviction
he count-down has begun
for the hybrid regime of
Imran Khan in Pakistan
and his recent China visit
could be his last foreign
trip as the prime minister.
Amidst, the two foreign
trips of the country’s most
powerful persons i.e. the
armychief,GeneralQamar
Jawed Bajwa to the USA
andthecivilianprimemin-
ister, Khan, with his minis-
ters to China, the opposi-
tionpartieshavedecidedto
topple the government.
The opposition has de-
cided to oust the Khan and
his party, Pakistan Tah-
reek-i-Insaf (PTI) by a non-
confidence motion in the
Pakistan National Assem-
bly(PNA).Of the342-strong
PNA, the PTI has only 149
members. It means with
the support of the smaller
parties, the Khan govern-
ment can be toppled.
The historical decision
was taken at a luncheon
meeting held in Lahore at-
tendedbythetopleadersof
the opposition parties such
as the co-chairpersons of
thePakistanPeople’sParty
(PPP), Asif Zardari, and
his son, Bilawal Bhutto.
The venue of the high-pro-
filemeetingwastheLahore
residence of Shehbaz Sha-
rif, the president of the
country’s main opposition
party, Pakistan Muslim
League-Noon(PML-N).The
strength of the PML-N and
PPP is 82 and 54 respective-
ly
.Thepresenceof Maryam
Nawaz, daughter of Nawaz
Sharif, has reaffirmed that
it could take place follow-
ing her father’s consent.
Nawaz Sharif, three-time
prime minister, is present-
ly in London for treatment.
It is also believed in the po-
litical circles that he is in
constanttouchwiththetop
PPP leadership.
The low-key welcome of
Imran Khan in Beijing also
indicates that his hosts
were aware of his ‘bleak
political future’. He was
received by a deputy min-
ister in the foreign office,
Wu Jianghao, and could
not meet the president, Xi
Jinping. Khan, who was of-
ficially invited to the inau-
gural ceremony was ac-
companied by his cabinet
colleagues, Foreign Minis-
ter, Shah Mehmood
Qureshi, Finance Minister,
Shaukat Tareen, Planning
Minister, Asad Umar, In-
formation Minister, Fawad
Choudhary and National
security advisor, Moeed
Yusuf. His visit is consid-
ered partially successful
because he could have a
virtual meeting
with the Chi-
nese premier
Li Keqiang. Khan’s request
for a personal audience
was ‘politely’ rejected. He,
however, appreciated the
Khan government’s deci-
sion to offer an $11.6 mil-
lion compensation for the
families of Chinese engi-
neers who were killed and
wounded in a terrorist at-
tack at the Dasu Dam hy-
dropower project last year
in Pakistan. The Pakistani
media is describing Khan’s
mission to lure more Chi-
nese funds and financial
help as a great success, but
he could not obtain a firm
dateregardingXiJinping’s
visit to his country
. Khan’s
request for an additional
USD three billion of loan
was promised, but the
Chinese charge exorbi-
tant interests, almost eight
times than the IMF, on the
recipient countries.
The agenda of Bajwa’s
visit to the USA has not
been disclosed, but it is be-
lieved that he has reas-
sured his American hosts
thatthearmyanditssecret
police, Inter-Services Intel-
ligence (ISI) would main-
tain neutrality in the polls.
President Joe Biden is an
ardent supporter of de-
mocracy and human
rights. Bajwa, perhaps,
might have cited the local
bodies’ elections in the
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,
where the ruling party
, PTI
was trounced. He might
have also assured Penta-
gon, the defense headquar-
ters of America, unhin-
dered access to the coun-
try’s military establish-
ments to the USA despite
theanti-Americanrhetoric
of Khan and his ministers.
It may be noted that in
spite of US exit from Af-
ghanistan on August 15,
2021, Bajwa has been in
constant touch with Amer-
ican and British security
establishment. Earlier, on
September 9, 2021, he had
met, the CIA chief William
Burns, who was assured of
Pakistan’s cooperation
with the USA in the region.
The US Defence Secretary
Lloyd Austin had been in-
structing Bajwa about the
exitof theAmericanforces
from Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the judici-
ary has also become asser-
tive. The Islamabad High
Court has already asked
the army to dismantle the
business centres estab-
lished in the cantonments.
The case of the audiotape
of former Chief Justice of
Pakistan, Saqib Nissar, in
whichhereportedlyasking
is brother judges to impli-
cate Maryam Nawaz in cor-
ruption cases and ensure
that Nawaz and his daugh-
terdonotgetbailbeforethe
elections. It is quite known
in Pakistan that during the
tenure of Raheel Sharif as
the army chief, Nawaz Sha-
rif, was advised to resign,
but he dared the army to
topple him. In angered Ra-
heel so much that instead
of imposingmartiallaw,he
decided to control the civil-
ian government by using

The media was used to ma-
lign the established politi-
cal leaders in cooked-up
corruption cases and the
judiciary ensured their
conviction. However, this
strategy has finally boo-
meranged, the army has
become neutral and judges
impartial. The opposition
parties are expected to be
more aggressive in the
coming weeks under the
banner of the Pakistan
Democratic Movement.

ohannesburg –
Imagine that a
crisis emerges
in your home,
workplace, or
community. You neither
created it nor benefited
from it. And yet, you are
bearing the brunt of the
consequences, while those
who did create and benefit
from it continue to make
the problem worse. For Af-
rica, such an egregious
injustice has become all
too real.
Though Africa contrib-
utes only 4% of global
greenhouse-gas emissions
annually, it is among the
regions most vulnerable to
climate change and cli-
mate variability. Already,
climate disruptions and
crises are severely under-
mining human well-being
and economic develop-
ment, and water-related
disruptions pose some of
the most serious risks.
The so-called WASH
(Water, Sanitation, and Hy-
giene) initiative, being
pursued by the Southern
African Development
Community with GWP
support, is also advancing
vital water-related objec-
tives. By installing hand-
washing facilities at bor-
der posts across the region,
the initiative will help to
stem the transmission of
infectious diseases, there-
by facilitating intra-re-
gional trade and economic
activity and, ultimately,
contributing to the realiza-
tion of the African Conti-
nental Free Trade Area.
But, as with all these
initiatives, success de-
pends significantly on
funding. That is why Afri-
can countries and their
international partners
have developed the Water
Investment Scorecard, a
data-driven approach that,
by tracking progress, will
help to sustain pressure on
decision-makers.
Africa did not cause the
climate crisis, but African
leaders are taking the ini-
tiative in developing strate-
gies for coping with it, in-
cluding its impact on the
continent’s water security
and sanitation. The ques-
tion is whether those who
are most responsible for cli-
mate change will put their
money where their mouth
is before it is too late.

Kohima: The Nagaland
State Disaster Manage-
ment Authority (NSD-
MA) has declared a
‘drought of a moderate
nature’ in the entire
state for six months
from September 2021 to
March this year.
TheNSDMAdeclared
the ‘drought of moder-
ate nature’ after taking
into account the condi-
tions arising from rain-
fall deficiency and poor
crop conditions, an of-
ficial statement issued
by the Department of
Information and Public
Relations said in Kohi-
ma on Wednesday
.
It also considered the
distress situation that
had developed in al-
most the entire farming
area affected by these
conditions through
field verification, the
statement said.
The NSDMA had also
taken into considera-
tion the reports availa-
ble from the Deputy
Commissioners and
Chairmen of the con-
cerned District Disas-
ter Management Au-
thorities (DDMAs).
Based on the scanty
,
deficit and less than nor-
mal rainfall that has
been observed from
March to November
2021, the declaration of
droughtwouldcomeinto
effect from September
15, 2021, and would con-

Why tax exemption to corporates?
Sharat K Verma
New Delhi: In many
countries of the world,
big corporate houses
have written letters to
the governments asking
themtoimposeaddition-
al tax on them. In the
midstof thecoronavirus
epidemic,everycivilised
and democratic country
in the world has helped
its citizens financially
,
but in India, there is an
exception to this idea as
no financial help was
given to the citizens in
India. In India, the in-
comeof 84percentof the
populationhasdecreased
in the last year and on
the other hand the num-
ber of billionaires has
increased. There is a re-
coveryintheeconomyof
India,thatis,therichare
getting richer and the
poor are getting poorer.
Nevertheless, the gov-
ernment has given tax
exemption to corporates
in the budget.
Even before this, in
the last Lok Sabha elec-
tions i.e. 2019, the Cen-
tral Government had
given a rebate of one
lakh 45 thousand crore
rupees in corporate tax.
In the next year’s budg-
et, the Government of
India has reduced the
surcharge on corporate
tax from 12 per cent to
sevenpercent.Think,on
the one hand, economic
inequality is increasing
in the country, the gov-
ernmentiscontinuously
increasing indirect tax-
es, which is burdening
the common people and
there is no exemption
for the middle class in
income tax but the sur-
charge on corporate tax
has been reduced. The
governmentshouldhave
increased the corporate
tax but the government
has done the opposite.

dav took on the BJP on
Wednesday saying the ruling
outfit “should observe two
minutes’ silence (for failing
to deliver on its promises)
before commenting on those
offered by his Samajwadi
Party. Yadav said the BJP
“lies in the name of law and
order” and countered Amit
Shah’s ‘mafia’ charge; the
Union Home Minister had
said criminals in UP were
either in jail or on a list of
Samajwadi candidates.
“Announcements made
by the Samajwadi Party in
our manifesto were made
after talking to experts...
this is for the people of
Uttar Pradesh. But if
you see the BJP’s
manifesto, it is full
of lies of false promises...
the BJP’s Sankalp Patra is
actually a Jhoota Patra,”
Akhilesh Yadav told media.
“Lots of promises made...
first was for farmers. They
said they would double
farmers’ incomes but
this did not happen.
The BJP should
observe two
minutes’ si-
lence before saying anything,”
he said. As part of its major
promises, the SP has said it
will make more than one crore
jobs available, make electricity
(for irrigation) free for farmers,
and make education for girls
free. On the ‘mafia’ charge
Yadav said: “It is the BJP
which has given most election
tickets to criminals and the
mafia,” he said. —Agencies

Modi has misused Parl for
political gains, says Kharge
New Delhi: Leader of
Opposition in the Rajya
Sabha and senior Con-
gress leader Mallikar-
jun Kharge on Wednes-
day said that PM Naren-
dra Modi misused the
Parliament for political
gains.
Speaking to ANI,
Kharge said, “The
Prime Minister was
only attacking Con-
gress and was not an-
swering questions
raised by the party
. Con-
gress party raised is-
sues like China's ex-
treme aggression, ris-
ing inflation in the
country, unemploy-
ment, crisis arising out
of Pegasus and Covid in
front of the govern-
ment, but the PM did
not say anything on
these issues.”
He further slammed
the Prime Minister stat-
ing that he should have
kept in mind the digni-
ty of the post he is oc-
cupying.
The Prime Minister
should have kept in
mind the dignity of the
post but he talked only
on those issues which
can be used for elec-
tions in five states, if
there is any hate and
anger against Congress,
Mahatma Gandhi, Pan-
dit Nehru and Rahul
Gandhi, he can speak
these things outside the
House and should have
responded to the issues
raised by the Congress
in the House. But the
Prime Minister has
misused the House for
electoral gains.

SCARED: MALIK
Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Different
groups have their own
concerns regarding the
next year’s Budget of
the central government.
One of these big con-
cerns is whether the
Central Government
will continue the Prad-
han Mantri Garib Kaly-
an Yojana or will it be
closed? This question is
because the Finance
Minister did not say an-
ything about it in the
general budget. Keep in
mind that at the end of
lastyear,thecentralgov-
ernment had decided to
end this scheme. Then
many states including
Delhi and Uttar Pradesh
announced to imple-
ment this scheme on
their own. Since assem-
bly elections are going
on in five states, the
Center also extended
this scheme by four
months, the limit for
whichwillendonMarch
31. That is, the election
willendinthefirstweek
of March and the
scheme will end on the
last day of the current
financial year. What will
happen after that?
Many experts are
speculating that the gov-
ernment has kept the
budget for procurement
of paddy and wheat
fromfarmersatthemin-
imum support price
(MSP) same as last year,
so it is possible that it
should be carried for-
ward. Keep in mind that
this year the Finance
Minister has made a
provision of two lakh 37
thousand crore rupees
for the purchase of food
grains. Last year it was
Rs 2 crore 42 lakh crore.
However, another fig-
ure in Nirmala Sithara-
man’s budget indicates
that it may be scrapped.
She has reduced the
budget for distribution
of food grains through
Public Distribution
System (PDS) from Rs 2
lakh 10 thousand 929
crore to one lakh 45 920
crore. That is, there has
been a reduction of Rs
65 thousand crores.
That is why it seems
that the Pradhan Man-
tri Garib Kalyan Anna
Yojana may not go be-
yond March 31.

who was the election agent of
Bengal Chief Minister Mamata

Guwahati: Due process of law and all guidelines issued

assumed charge, till January 28 this year. The Assam
government on February 7 filed the “detailed affidavit”,
a copy of which is available with PTI, as sought by the
Gauhati HCt, which on Tuesday deferred the hearing of
the PIL related to the encounters till February 10.
Ahmedabad: A special court here on Wednesday
said it will begin hearing arguments on February
11 for deciding on the quantum of sentence for

documents before the court begins further pro-
ceedings. The court had on Tuesday convicted
49 people in the case related to the blasts which
had claimed 56 lives. In the verdict, which came
13 years, special judge AR Patel acquitted 28
accused, giving them the benefit of doubt.

11 MLAs INCLUDING BSP TURNCOATS FIND SPOT
RHB'spodiumbecomescentre
of positive politics in state!
First India Bureau
Jaipur: Wednesday
brought with it a pleas-
ant picture, wherein the
govt and Opposition
shared not just a stage,
but also wrote a new
rule of ‘positive poli-
tics’; and its seeds were
sown right at the func-
tion of RHB which or-
ganized the foundation
stone laying ceremony
of Constitution Club of
Rajasthan. CM Gehlot
himself reached on foot
with ministers and
MLAs after attending
the first day of the
budget session of the
Assembly, due to which
there was 100 percent
presence of MLAs in
the Assembly
. In such a
situation, about 190
MLAs reached this cer-
emony being held next
to the Assembly and
legislators of both -pow-
er and opposition - en-
joyed the ceremony.
CM Gehlot laid the
foundation stone of the
Constitution Club with
LoP Gulabchand Ka-
taria being the special
guest at the function
and thus the presence
of opposition leaders
was also encouraging
in the program.
This sight of power
and opposition leaders’
‘jugalbandi’ was per-
haps never before seen
in Rajasthan and politi-
cal observers have now
claimed that this pic-
ture truly gave a mes-
sage of positive politics
across the state.
Naresh Sharma
Shivendra Parmar
Jaipur: A jovial CM
Ashok Gehlot said on
Wednesday, during the
RHB foundation laying
programme that doing
politicsinoldageisvery
important for the health
of elderly leaders like
us. “That’s why we need
to serve the public till
our last breath. Politi-
cians become sad when
they have to meet a lot
of people. Even when
people do not come to
meet them, they become
sad suspecting that
their political might is
on the decline. I would
like to advise PM Naren-
dra Modi that his deci-
sion to make the leader
sitathomeafter75years
is not a good one. It was
once a decision of
Kamaraj in Congress
that 60-year-old leader
should be thrown out of
politics. I have come to
know that in the earlier
era 34 years was the av-
erage age of person.
When Kamaraj ji decid-
ed in 1960, the average
age was 40. Later on, the
age increased. Now the
average age is 70 years.
Many such ministerial
leaders are sitting here,
leaders like Hemaram
Chaudhary
, Shanti Dha-
riwal, Gulabchand Ka-
taria, Dr CP Joshi, do
they look old. They walk
10 km every day and
compete with full
strength be it Assembly
or outside. If Gulab-
chand Kataria is made
the Governor, then the
matter is different,” Ge-
hlot said.
Quipping at Rajendra
Rathore, Gehlot said,
“You have been a disci-
ple of Bhairon Singh
Shekhawat. Tell me
where to go if we retire.
If you sit at home, peo-
ple will not even come
to meet you. Health will
deteriorate. If you have
been told that you are
old, sit at home, your
health will deteriorate.
Therefore it is not a
matter of our interest,
it is necessary for
health. Because if
health deteriorates in
old age, what will it
mean? What crime have
we committed?”
IF WE RETIRE, OUR HEALTH WILL DETERIORATE:
GEHLOT QUIPS ON RETIRING POLITICIANS
Do enmity fiercely, but keep this scope that whenever we become friends, we should never be ashamed: CM to Opposition
Pawan Arora shows brochure of the Constitution Club to CM Ashok

The fight amongst
ourselves (BJP
MLAs) is of our ideo-
logical differences.
There is no personal
enmity. But keep in
mind that the Laksh-
man Rekha is not
crossed. Be it Centre
or state. This atmo-
sphere of Constitu-
tion Club will not be
found in the Assem-
bly. It should not also
because there we are
power and opposi-
tion. Come here after
retirement.
—Ashok Gehlot, CM
Taking a jibe at LoP Gulabchand Kataria, Deputy LoP
Rajendra Rathore and opposition leaders present in
the program, Gehlot said the kind of presentation
Kataria gave on the stage, it does not seem that he
has demanded a CBI inquiry in the REET case in the
Assembly. “Rajendra Rathore is also sitting so lov-
ingly. As if nothing happened in the Assembly. There
are few occasions when the pros and opposition
sit side by side. That is why many times the public
says that both are together,” CM said.

EXAMPLE OF RAJE
BECOMING CM FOR
FIRST TIME
Giving the example of
Vasundhara Raje becom-
ing the CM for the first
time, he said that then
when the Assembly was
over, Raje used to take all
the MLAs to show cinema
in the picture hall. “We
used to say that it is a
wonderful case, we are
also taking people from
our Opposition to show
the film. I objected that
you guys fight all day
and then watch movies
together,” Gehlot said.

FROM PG 1
Arora says, entire RHB
team is grateful to CM
During the Foundation stone laying
program of Constitution Club in
Jaipur, RHB Commissioner Pawan Arora
termed the development as a ‘big day for
the parliamentary traditions of Ra-
jasthan’. “On August 11, the foundation
stone of the MLA housing project was
laid. The MLA Housing and Constitution
Club, both the projects were in CM Ashok
Gehlot’s budget. CM Gehlot gets credit
at national level for urban development
works in Jaipur and we always remem-
ber CM Sahab’s vision to revive RHB. I
want to say to CM sahab that the entire
team of Housing Board is grateful to
you. RHB got revived with your guid-
ance wherein monitoring of UDH Min-
ister is very important. You reposed
faith in the board. Our thanks for giving
big projects to RHB which is no longer
the old Housing Board and has now tak-
en a turn. We have started 7 projects in
no time, have provided the houses at con-
cessional price. Pawan Arora said that
construction of Club would be better
than Delhi-based Constitution Club and
facilities would also be more.

acing the
hoardings, fashion
shows, or social media
feeds, this 20-year-old
young star, hailing from
Jaipurissurelyaninspi-
ration for the emerging
stars. Self-acceptance,
however, was hard-won.
Now, she’s basking in it.
Being a supermodel

deal with photoshoots,
scheduling and travel
that are subject to
change at the 11th hour.
This year, Neelanjana
Jangid is determined to
maintain more consist-
ent routines. Talking
about her modelling
journey, the diva said,
“My modelling journey
started from Elite Miss
Rajasthan. I still re-
member giving audi-
tions and since then
there has been no look-
ing back. I have evolved
so much as a person and
as a model. I’d also like
to thank Gaurav Gaur,
my mentor and director
Elite Miss Rajasthan for
helping me tap my po-
tential. He has always
been so kind and sup-
portive to the entire
team.”
She further added, “I
enjoy modelling be-
cause it gives me a plat-
form to showcase not
just my outer beauty
but inner beauty and
strength both.
When asked who has
been her source of in-
spiration and lifted her
spirits on bad days, Nee-
lanjana said, “There are
no second thoughts, my
mother has always been
my true source of inspi-
ration. Someone who
hasalwaysbeenthrough
my ups and downs. She
is a wonderful human
being and has taught me
so much, truly made me
who I am.

vice she’d like to give to

strong believ-
er of self-love
and confi-
dence. I’d like
all the ravish-
ing girls out
there to go and
slay! Don’t let the
world rule you,
just believe in
yourself keep go-
ing. Face your
fears never be
scared to own
your flaws!

YOUR
DAY
Horoscope by
Saurabbh Sachdeva
ebruary month is very
special. Everyone is
busy finding the per-
fect partner. Love and
relationship occupy
the most important
part of one’s life. Eve-
ryone desires true love. To love
and to be loved is one of the
most basic emotional needs
which is present in every living
creature.
The problem arises after the
honeymoon period of a rela-
tionship gets over. ‘Happily ever
after’ suddenly crashes and
doesn’t seem to exist anymore.
Then we get heartbroken and
nothing in life seems to work.
The good news is, there is a
secret to successful love life. If
we understand the secret for-
mula then we will be able to at-
tract and sustain love in our life
forever. The secret to sustaining
love forever in our life is SELF-
LOVE.
HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF IS
HOW YOU TEACH OTHERS TO
LOVE YOU
Self-love is the unconditional
acceptance of ourselves. It is
taking care of us, on our own,
without expecting anything
from anyone. It is the whole-
hearted acceptance of our mer-
its and demerits. When we love
ourselves, we constantly strive
for our growth and develop-
ment, instead of expecting any-
thing from anyone else. Self-
love induces self-confidence. It
is acceptance and forgiveness.
Our heart is free from all nega-
tive feelings towards anyone. It
is rightly said that one cannot
pour from an empty vessel.
When we start enjoying our
own company and feel peace
within, we find clarity in our
thoughts, and we don’t need any
external validation.
We can't love a person fully
without loving ourselves. Self-
love is the basis to attract un-
conditional love and a prerequi-
site to loving others. We attract
as per our thoughts and vibra-
tions. If we are full of depres-
sion, negativity
, and overthink-
ing, we will attract the same
kind of situations in our life. If
we are filled with exuberance
and joy, then we will again at-
tract the same kind of situa-
tion. Self-love heals heartache
and uplifts emotionally and
spiritually
. Self-love is fulfilling
ourselves with all the love we
deserve. When we are filled
with self-love, we attract people
who love us in the same way
. We
attract what we are. No one can
love us more than we love our-
selves. After all, we can never
attract more than what we are
capable of holding.
BE YOUR REASON
TO SMILE
Self-love saves us from toxic
relations. Many of us get into
depression when our love life
fails to give us the happiness
we deserve. Self-love heals our
hearts and soul. It helps to
move on and let go of all the
toxicity which does not serve
us anymore. Self-love heals a
broken and wailing heart
quickly. When we are sub-
merged in the soothing and di-
vine energy of self-love, we
don't mourn over someone who
doesn’t understand our worth.
We are so self-contented and
our self-respect is so high that
we don't let anyone else tarnish
or damage our self-respect.
Self-love helps us to let go and
move on quickly from adverse
situations that no longer serve
our highest purpose.
Self-love is taking care of
our own body, mind, and soul.
It also involves making diffi-
cult decisions for the better-
ment of ourselves, even if they
appear to be very difficult at
the present.
Self-love is nurturing the
soul and spreading the divine
benediction through our mind
and body. It is accepting the
challenges of life and master-
ing the art to overcome them
with dignity and grace.
If we want to attract un-
conditional love, then we
must have unconditional
love within us. There is a
huge difference between self-
love and being selfish. Strive to
understand the difference, so
that we can offer ourselves the
true divine love which we de-
serve. Blessings or abundance
are bestowed by the universe
when we are filled with self-
love.
In February, when love is in
the air, before expecting any-
thing from anyone else, start
loving yourself. Be your valen-
tine. Be your sunshine and your
reason to smile. Your heart is
full of love and believes me, you
deserve it more than anyone
else.
…..MAKE YOUR PRECIOUS
LITTLE HEART HAPPY
