ARG VS FRA: THE FINAL
CLASH OF TITANS TODAY
rgentina and France will face
off in the 2022 FIFA World Cup
Final today at Lusail Stadium.
Their respective journeys
have been more similar than
distinct because both teams lost
one game on the road to the
championship game.
After a terrible performance
against Saudi Arabia, Argenti-
na has been flawless, scoring
goals and playing solid defence,
while riding the Messi Magic.
They just finished a nearly flaw-
less game against Croatia,
where Lionel Messi’s sensation-
al performance helped Argenti-
na reach their second World Cup
Final in three years.
Matchup History between
France and Argentina
Argentina and France have
played three times previously at
the FIFA World Cup. Argentina
wonthefirsttwomeetingsin1930
and 1978, while France knocked
Argentina out of the 2018 World
Cup in the Round of 16.
France ended up on the win-
ningsideafteraseven-goalthrill-
er. Kylian Mbappe was intro-
duced to the world during the 4-3
victory in 2018 when his double
was a major factor in Les Blues’
advancing to the quarterfinals.
Although it is a result that the
Argentinians will undoubtedly
not have forgotten either. Even
though they have six of the pre-
vious 12 encounters between the
two, they would gladly swap all
of those memories if they lift
the World Cup trophy on Sunday
.
Journey of Argentina
Argentina has been able to im-
prove throughout the competi-
tion to the point, where they are
just inches away from a surpris-
ing World Cup victory
. After they
managed to defeat both Mexico
and Poland in their group, their
2-1 setback to Saudi Arabia feels
like a distant memory
.
Argentina was tested to the
limit in challenging encounters
against Australia and the Neth-
erlands, but their best was yet to
come as they outplayed Croatia
in a superb 3-0 victory in the
semifinals.The outcome of this
gamewillprobablybeinfluenced
by Messi’s antics, and if France
permits him to receive the ball in
space, he will harm them.
Journey of France
At this World Cup, France has
never really seemed to be in
peak shape. The French have
nonetheless advanced to a World
Cup final and given themselves
a solid chance to retain the title
they earned in 2018.
They found it difficult to fully
utilisetheirabundanceof attack-
ing talent against England be-
cause England outplayed them.
They once again prevailed over
Morocco without really appear-
ing to be playing at their best.
Against Argentina, France
will be tested thoroughly
. France
will look to players like Kylian
Mabppe to lead them.
The top four scorers from
each team in the FIFA World
Cup 2022 are distributed equally
.
With five goals each, Kylian
Mbappe of France and Lionel
Messi of Argentina are tied for
the most goals scored at the
FIFA World Cup 2022.
With four goals each, Julian
Alvarez (ARG) and Olivier Gir-
oud (FRA) are tied for second. As
a result, it is safe to assume that
the 2022 FIFA World Cup Golden
Boot race will also be decided in
the Final, making it an intrigu-
ing side story to the main event.
It will be France’s fourth
World Cup championship game
and Argentina’s sixth in the
forthcomingARGvsFRAmatch.
France will only be the third
side in history—following Italy
(1934 and 1938) and Brazil to suc-
cessfully defend a World Cup ti-
tle if they win the 2022 World
Cup final (1958 and 1962).

PLAYERS TO WATCH OUT
LIONEL MESSI, ARGENTINA
The spotlight will be on Messi throughout the Final. The 35-year-old will
beat Germany’s Lothar Matthäus for the most World Cup appearances
with 26 just by participating in the final. Messi now has 11 goals overall
at the World Cup, making him Argentina’s all-time leading scorer with
his penalty kick goal against Croatia.
JULIAN ALVAREZ, ARGENTINA
Alvarez has been one of the breakout stars in Argentina. In the round of
16, he scored the game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Australia, and
in the semifinals, he gave his team two insurance goals. Alvarez is tied
with France’s Olivier Giroud for third in the Golden Boot race with four
goals, trailing Messi and Mbappe by only one goal.
KYLIAN MBAPPE, FRANCE
Mbappe had a spectacular opening to the
World Cup, scoring three goals and provid-
ing one assist in France’s opening two
games. Then, he contributed two goals and
an assist to help Les Bleus defeat Poland
3-1 in the round of 16, surpassing his four-
goal total from the previous tournament.
OLIVIER GIROUD, FRANCE
When France lost Karim Benzema to
injury ahead of the World Cup, the
defending champs needed Olivier Giroud
to step up - and he’s delivered. In the
opening match against Australia, Olivier
Giroud scored twice and added two more
goals in the knockout round.

Kartikey Dev Singh
New Delhi: A day after
Rahul Gandhi said that
Chinese soldiers are
“beating up jawans in
Arunachal Pradesh”,
Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) leaders con-
demned his statement
anddemandedhisexpul-
sion from the Congress.
BJP spokesperson
Gaurav Bhatia said if
Congress president Mal-
likarjun Kharge is not
“remote-controlled”, he
should expel Gandhi
from the party
, since his
comments “belittle” In-
dia and break the mo-
rale of its armed forces.
If Congress does not
take action against
Gandhi, it will mean his
statement is reflective
of the Congress’ mind-
set, Bhatia said. He fur-
ther alleged that the
party has become less
of a political party and
more of a den of anti-
India activities. Bhatia
also said that “it is no
longer the India of 1962
as its brave soldiers also
have a strong political
leadership under
Modi”, adding that “not
even an inch of Indian
territory was captured
by anyone” in the last
eight years.
RAHUL’S ‘CHINA PREPARING FOR WAR’ REMARK CREATES FURORE
It is no longer
the India of 1962
as its brave soldiers
also have a strong
political leadership
under Modi, BJP said
Whether it is Galwan
or Tawang, our defence
forces have proved their
bravery and valour.
Rajnath Singh,
Defence Minister
Rahul Gandhi’s statement
works to demoralise our
Army; no matter how
much it is condemned,
it is less. Indian army is
a symbol of bravery and
valour. We know that the
Communist Party of Chi-
na had signed MoU with
the Congress party.
JP Nadda,
BJP President
Gandhi has become a
huge embarrassment for
the country as well as
a problem for the Con-
gress. Gandhi is not only
insulting Indian Army but
damaging nation’s image.
Kiren Rijiju,
Union Minister for Law
and Justice
Rahul Gandhi’s state-
ments on soldiers is con-
demnable and shameful.
It is indecent and childish
and going to inspire
anti-India elements. It
amounts to humiliating
India and India’s brave
army internationally.

“IFNOTREMOTE-CONTROLLED,
KHARGE SHOULD EXPEL RaGa”
No intention of
capturing others’
land, says
Rajnath Singh
New Delhi: Defence
Minister Rajnath Sin-
gh on Saturday said In-
dia had no intention of
capturing the land of
other nations in its
quest to become a su-
perpower. India will be
a superpower that
works towards the
“welfare of the world”,
Singh said. Referenc-
ing Pm Narendra
Modi’s public address
at Red Fort this year,
Singh said: “We want to
be a superpower to
work for the welfare of
the world. But when I
talk about India becom-
ing a superpower, it
should not be miscon-
strued as India want-
ing to dominate other
countries or that we
want to take even an
inch of someone else’s
land,” he said.
WHEN WILL NATION HAVE ‘CHINA PE
CHARCHA’: KHARGE ASKS PM MODI
New Delhi: Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday ac-
cused PM Modi of not allowing a discussion in
Parliament on the situation along the border with
China and asked why he was not taking the na-
tion into confidence in the matter. Claiming that
Chinese build-up in Doklam is threatening the
strategic “Siliguri Corridor” — he asked when the
nation will have “China pe charcha”.
Left wing extremism
has almost ended: Shah
Kolkata: Union Home
Minister Amit Shah on
Saturday chaired the
25th Eastern Zonal
Council (EZC) meeting
at the West Bengal sec-
retariat in Kolkata. In
his inaugural address,
the Union Home Minis-
ter said that in the last
8 years under the lead-
ership of Prime Minis-
ter Narendra Modi,
more than 1,000 issues
were discussed in the
meetings of the Zonal
Councils and 93 percent
of them were resolved,
which is a huge achieve-
ment.
He said that in the 8
years from 2006 to 2013, a
totalof 6meetingsof the
Zonal Councils were
held, but in the 8 years
since 2014, despite the
COVID-19 pandemic, a
totalof 23meetings have
been held. The Union
Home Minister said that
Left Wing Extremism
has almost been elimi-
nated from the Eastern
region of the country
and efforts should be
made to sustain this de-
cisive dominance over
Left Wing Extremism.
He stressed that ef-
forts should be sus-
tained as extremism
should not re-emerge in
LWE-free States and
that these States should
develop at par with oth-
er parts of the country.
Shah urged the Chief
Minister to ensure the
creation of a district-
level structure of the
NCORD mechanism
and its regular meet-
ings for the prevention
of narcotics. He said the
fight against drugs in
the country is now at a
crucial stage and there
is a need to accelerate
the campaign against
drugs with the help of
Artificial Intelligence.

Poonia, while com-

therefore artists from

“It seems that Suni-

of a film artist had to be
taken to mobilize the
crowd, then it becomes
clear that the ground of
govt has slipped,” he
said at a press confer-

Gehlot government.
He said that it was a

BIHAR HOOCH TRAGEDY
INDIA

New Delhi (ANI): Days
after the successful tri-
als of the nuclear-capa-
ble Agni-5 ballistic mis-
sile, India has now de-
veloped the capability
to strike targets beyond
the range of 7,000 kms.
Sourcesinthedefence
establishment told ANI
that the Defence Re-
searchandDevelopment
Organisation (DRDO)
has been able to reduce
the weight of the Agni-5
missile by replacing
steel content with com-
posite materials. “The
weight reduction that
has been achieved in the
missilesystemisbeyond
20percentandif thegov-
ernment wants, the nu-
clear-capable strategic
missile can go beyond
7,000 kms,” they said.
Sources cited the ex-
ample of the Agni-3
which weighs around 40
tonnes and can strike
targets at 3,000 kms but
the Agni-4 weighing
slightly more than 20
tonnes can cover a
much longer range.
The extended range
of the missile which is
part of the Strategic
Forces Command will
give a variety of options
to the planners during
times of conflict.
India’s nuclear weap-
on programme is main-
ly for deterrence
against its adversaries
including China and
Pakistan as it has a no-
first-use policy
.
It has been strengthen-
ingthesecondstrikecapa-
bility and is also working
on the development of a
submarine-launched bal-
listicmissile.Thesources
said the decision to test
the missile for its new
maximum possible
range will have to be tak-
en by the government.
India had successful-
ly carried out night tri-
als of Agni-5 nuclear-
capable ballistic missile
on Thursday at its full
range of 5400 kms.
The test was carried
out to validate new
technologies and equip-
ment on the missile
which is now lighter
than before.
In October last year,
India carried out the
successful launch of
the surface-to-surface
ballistic missile, Agni-5
from APJ Abdul Kalam
Island, Odisha.
The missile, which
uses a three-stage solid-
fuelled engine, is capa-
ble of striking targets
at ranges up to 5,000
kilometres with a very
high degree of accura-
cy, the defence ministry
said in a statement.

ENHANCED BALLISTIC CAPABILITY
Kolkata (PTI): Union
Home Minister Amit
Shah has asked West
Bengal BJP leaders to
strengthen the grass-
root level of the party in
the Trinamool Con-
gress-ruled state ahead
of the panchayat polls,
a senior party leader
said on Saturday
.
Shah, who held a
meeting with senior
state party leaders after
coming here, said that
the BJP should harness
“public discontent
againsttheTMC”,BJP’s
national Vice-President
Dilip Ghosh said.
On Shah’s meeting
held at the state BJP
headquarters, the
TMC’s West Bengal
spokesperson Joy
Prakash Majumdar
claimed that it was a fu-
tile attempt to save his
party’s state unit from
disintegrating.
“Amit-ji is alarmed
about the present situa-
tion in West Bengal —
how TMC leaders have
swindled public money
and central funds, tak-
en bribes to give jobs to
ineligible candidates in
schools, the continuing
attacks on our men. He
wants to see an end to
this situation,” Dilip
Ghosh told PTI.
Shah knows that the
people want change in
West Bengal, but to
counter the TMC’s at-
tacks and threats, the
BJP will combat them
democratically
,” Ghosh,
a former West Bengal
BJP chief, said.
The Union home min-
ister held a half-an-hour
meeting on Friday
night with leaders like
Ghosh, state president
Sukanta Majumdar,
Leader of the Opposi-
tion Suvendu Adhikari
and others.
To a question, if Shah
also asked leaders to
sink their differences,
Ghosh said, “Amit-ji
knows we stand united.
There can be differenc-
es of opinion among
individuals at times,
but that happens in a
family. No such issue
was discussed.”
Shah came here to
chair the Eastern Zonal
Council (EZC) meeting
at the state secretariat
on Saturday

Rajendra Chhabra
Jaipur: The construc-
tion of new Rajasthan
House in New Delhi has
witnessed an unexpect-
ed halt as the project
has not been given ap-
proval for construction
by the New Delhi Mu-
nicipal Council
(NDMC). Even the ap-
proval file for the site
plan of the new build-
ing is also stuck. In fact
there has been a stay on
picking up the debri
also and tonnes of debri
is lying at the site.
Rajasthan House is
situationintheVIParea
of Prithviraj Road and
Lutyens Zone of New
Delhi where two build-
ings,of fiftyroomseach,
were existent. The cur-
rent Gehlot government
took decision to disman-
tletheexistingstructure
and construct a new Ra-
jasthanHousewithcom-
pletely futuristic facili-
ties for which the state
government approved a
budget of 138 crore ru-
pees. The PWD has been
given the responsibility
of construction and the
target has been set to
complete the project by
March 2024.
The work to disman-
tle the building, keep-
ing in mind the target
of March 2024, was ini-
tiated in April 2022
and in four months,
the building turned
into a heap of debri.
The plan was that the
debri would be re-
moved and in the
meantime the permis-
sion for construction
would be received, vut
since the NDMC has
not given any permis-
sion, the plan has not
moved forward.
The officials con-
cerned claimed that to
get permission from
NDMC, application had
been given at the start
of the year and it was
believed that permis-
sion would be accord-
ed. But due to the area
being ‘VIP area’ and
the Lutyens Zone, the
file has been stuck due
to various objections.
Moreover, permission
has not been granted to
pick up the debri due to
the increased pollution
level since clearing the
debris would add to the
pollution level.
So the million dollar
question that is doing
the rounds in political
and bureaucratic cir-
cles is that when the
permission for new con-
struction had not been
given, where was then
the need to dismantle
down the old building.
This has resulted in a
problem of plenty for
the ministers, MPs and
MLAs of Rajasthan who
do not have a place to
stay in. Interestingly
, no
one is in a situation to
answer when the NDMC
will give permission.

Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot once
again praised Ra-
jasthan Housing Board
(RHB) Commissioner
Pawan Arora on Satur-
day. During the visit to
the exhibition organ-
ised at Jawahar Kala
Kendra on the 4th anni-
versary of the govern-
ment, Gehlot along with
the in-charge of Ra-
jasthan Congress
Sukhjinder Singh
Randhawa and PCC
Chief Govind Singh Do-
tasra reached the stall
of the RHB.
Housing Board was on
the verge of closure in
the previous BJP gov-
ernment, but after be-
coming the Commis-
sioner, Pawan Arora
not only brought the
Board out of losses but
today the Housing
Board is running at a
profit of crores.
On the praise of CM,
Randhawa also congrat-
ulated Pawan Arora.
The Commissioner
informed Gehlot, Rand-
hawa and Dotasra about
the plans and projects
of the Housing Board.
Even before this, the
Chief Minister has
praised Pawan Arora
on many occasions.
Later, speaking to the
media, RHB Commis-
sioner Pawan Arora
said that Chief Minis-
ter’s speech is motiva-
tional for his entire
team. “It is a matter of
great pleasure for the
team to be praised by
the CM,” he said.
Meanwhile, the stall
of the Housing Board
remains the most pre-
ferred for the common
people visiting the exhi-
bition.
The RHB has dis-
played the model of the
under-construction
Constitution Club at
the stall, which is very
much liked by people.
RHB has developed two
Chaupatis in Jaipur
city in less than a year.
On the City Park de-
veloped by the RHB in
Mansarovar in Jaipur,
Arora said that it was
the dream of Chief
Minister Ashok Gehlot
to develop this park.
There is a huge interest
among the coaching op-
erators regarding the
project. Arora said that
classes will start in the
Coaching Hub in the
coming six months.
Amit Shah was continuously receiv-
ing plaints from party unit in Madhya
Pradesh that Jyotiraditya Scindia was
running a parallel organization of party
in state, alleging that he
was repeatedly reaching
Bhopal & Gwalior and
taking meetings of his
loyal ministers, MLAs
& party workers and
planning his future
strategy with them. Madhya Pradesh CM
Shivraj Singh Chouhan also had the same
complaint that ‘no person in BJP can be
bigger than the organisation, since only
the state president has the right to call
such meetings.’ He reprimanded them by
calling them to ‘focus on their ministry
instead of MP.’ Only after this there was
hue & cry in the media about the chaos at
Delhi airport and Jyotiraditya also had to
shift his immediate focus towards that.

...AND FINALLY
Two prominent leaders
of South India i.e.
DMK Chief MK Stalin and
Janata Dal Secular Chief
HD Kumaraswamy of Kar-
nataka are busy prepar-
ing the blueprint of their
future politics. Sources
say that the health of
both these leaders is not
too good. It is also being
heard that they have to go
to Mount Elizabeth Hos-
pital in Singapore every
month for their treatment.
Stalin has fixed his son
Udhayanidhi Stalin as his
successor, although no
formal announcement has
been made in this regard,
but Udhayanidhi has been
made a Cabinet Minister.
This preparation is for the
2024 elections. Although
Stalin’s father Karunani-
dhi declared himself an
atheist, but Stalin’s views
are slightly different from
his father’s. He does not
support Brahmanism
and Manuism, but he has
deep faith in God. Before
every auspicious work,
he goes to Madurai’s
Meenakshi Temple to
offer prayers. He also
follows the advice of a
special astrologer, and
on the advice of that
astrologer, he has decided
his successor.
Last week, BJP MP Kirodi
Lal Meena introduced a
private member’s bill in Par-
liament seeking a Uniform
Civil Code. When it was time
to vote, Aam Aadmi Party’s
Rajya Sabha MP Raghav
Chadha stood up, told a
fellow MP sitting with
him that he had an
important phone
call, he had to go
out and talk (even
though jammers
are installed in
House and thus, there is no phone
netowrk within the House). Soon
after Chadha left the house, AAP
MP Sanjay Singh also got up to
leave, and told his fellow MP
sitting next to him, ‘Look, our
party’s stand on this issue is
neither in favour nor against,
so I will not be able to vote,
so I am also going
out.’ So, finally
the bill got 63
votes in favour
23 votes
against it.
Few days back, Chandrashekhar Rao was in
New Delhi, where he inaugurated the party
office of his newly named party ‘Bharat Rashtra
Samithi’. The next day, he invited more than
1,500 people for dinner, including MPs, MLAs,
Ministers and many office bearers of his party,
where Rao expressed his desire that he wishes
to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. At the
same time, Rao also emphasised that unlike
Nitish Kumar, ‘no strong front can be formed
against the ruling BJP unless the Congress is
included in it’.
Ever since Akhilesh Prasad Singh, a Bhumihar
leader from Bihar, has been made the new President
of the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee, courtesy of
Kharge, his spirits are soaring. On December 11, Akh-
ilesh brought some tall Congress leaders from Bihar in
a chartered flight from Delhi to Patna, where they were
to perform a ‘mega show’ at the local Bapu Audito-
rium in Patna. Leaders like Meera Kumar, Tariq
Anwar, Congress in-charge of Bihar
Bhakta Charan Das had reached
Patna by boarding this chartered
flight of Singh. When these leaders
reached the Bapu Auditorium, they
were stunned to see that the stage
was packed with a crowd of leaders,
but there were only two to four
people to listen to the speakers. Now
it is no longer a matter of saying
that Congress workers are
missing in Bihar and only
leaders have, somehow,
survived.
RANI SAHIBA PRATIBHA SINGH
PROPOSES, BJP DISPOSES
When the Congress won in Himachal Pradesh, Rani
Sahiba i.e. Congress MP from Mandi, Prat-
ibha Singh bluntly said that ‘this is the tribute of the
people of Himachal Pradesh to Raja Virbhadra Singh.’
After this, Priyanka Gandhi, through Rajeev Shukla,
conveyed a message to the victorious Congress MLAs
that ‘even if any leader of the party calls them for a
meeting at their house, they do not have to go.’ But
still, 12 Congress MLAs went to Rani Sahiba’s house
on her invitation, while Rani Sahiba expected that some
25 MLAs are definitely their own this time. After this,
Pratibha, through Harsh Mahajan, who joined BJP, sent
a message to the BJP top brass that ‘if BJP is ready to
make her the Chief Minister, she can juggle more than
12 MLAs.’ But this proposal was rejected. PM
Modi straight-forwardly declined as
the PM did not want that ‘Operation
Lotus’ should be splashed on such a
big victory of Gujarat. Right now, Rani
Sahiba has been asked to wait till the
right time comes, and it has to be
seen whether Rani Sahiba will
also prove to be ‘Eknath Shinde’
of Congress in the coming days.
LEADERS ON STAGE, SANS THE
AUDIENCE IN BIHAR
Aam Aadmi Party’s concerns about
Punjab have increased. The party
itself has a tradition of conducting
surveys from time to time in the states it
rules. A recent opinion
poll by a recognized
agency of the party has
revealed that “if the Lok
Sabha elections are
held today, AAP will be
able to win only 4 out
of 13 parliamentary seats in Punjab.”
The reason for it is that Akali Dal is do-
ing ‘Panthic Politics’ on ground level in
the state, which is a matter of concern.
The Congress is still in disarray there.
Captain Amarinder SIngh joining BJP
with all his ‘might’ has increased BJP’s
support base in the state and Hindu vote
is largely going away from Congress and
siding with the BJP. This is also one of
the biggest concerns for AAP.

FIFA WORLD CUP 2022
THE FIFA WORLD CUP IS IN FULL SWING. ULTIMATELY, HOLDERS FRANCE AND ARGENTINA ADVANCED
TO THE 2022 FIFA WORLD CUP FINAL, WHICH WILL BE HELD TODAY AT LUSAIL STADIUM IN LUSAIL,
QATAR, WITH KICKOFF AT 8.30 P.M. IST. WITH ALL EYES ON ARGENTINA MAESTRO LIONEL MESSI AND
FRANCE’S MBAPPE, CITY FIRST BRINGS TO YOU AN INSIGHT OF THE MAGNIFICENT MATCH!
FIFA FEVER
FIFA FEVER
very four years the
fans wait eagerly,
patiently
,andhope-
fully, while the
players slog, work
out, play hard,
practice, practice,
and practice some more…..
and here we are waiting for
the whistle to blow for the
2022 FIFA World Cup final
game between Argentina
and the defending champi-
on France.
These two teams with
many experienced, dedicat-
ed, quick footed profession-
al players have clashed only
three times, in 1930 and 1978
Argentina beat France in
group matches, and in 2018
were beaten by France in
the‘roundof 16’.Francehas
won the coveted FIFA WC
trophy in 1998 and 2018,
while Argentina were the
1978 and 1986 champions.
Who will it be today?
As the hours drag by, I am
mulling over a few things
like- is this game today be-
tween two countries or is it
Messi vs. Mbappe? Will the
gentle football legend Messi
achieve the one record he
lacks? Is this really his last
World cup? Who is going to
get the Golden Boot? Who
will win the Golden Ball
award? We will just have to
wait and watch…
Lionel Messi, the Argen-
tinian hero, has left an in-
delible mark and is regard-
ed as one of the greatest
football (soccer) players all
times. At 35, Messi holds the
record of playing in 5 world
cups, and scoring in his
teens, 20’s and 30’s. In this
World Cup, he has scored 5
goals and assisted or creat-
ed chances for three more.
Kylian Mbappe, the tal-
entedFrenchscorer,isjust23
years old. He is the highest
paid football player earning
9.09 crores/year. Like Messi
heisknownforhisdribbling,
speed, and finishing touch.
Both of them are vying for
the Golden boot and Golden
Ball awards. Both are the
teammates and play for the
Paris Saint-Germain club.
But as we all know, indi-
vidual players alone can not
win games and these two
teams share this credit with
theirmanagersbothtalented

er C. Deschamps for France

pects, all good and desir-
able. It has been said,
“Youth is for an hour,
beauty is a flower but
love is the jewel that wins
the heart.”
Suspicion and mis-
trust result in jealousy
. It
is a very harmful emo-
tion that can ruin the
best of relationships. A
suspicious husband sees
in his wife what is not
there and fails to see
what she actually has.
A husband said, “I was
under a lot of financial
stress due to which I
didn’t really communi-
cate with my wife. She
came under a lot of pres-
sure. My time- consum-
ing job caused us to clash
in jealousy
.”
A wife once expressed,
“my husband would
show jealous reactions
whenever I received at-
tention from male col-
leaguesorperformedbet-
ter than him.”
Jealousy can be de-
fined as an emotion that
causes an individual to
suspect another person
without cause, or resent
the attention others re-
ceive, feeling that he/she
alone is entitled to it.
This harmful emotion
can ruin the best of rela-
tionships.
Did a person ever get
so enraged at his hand
that he used a hammer to
beat it or so angry at his
neck that he choked him-
self? Rather, one readily
accommodates one’s own
body’s weaknesses and
peculiarities. Such ac-
commodation works well
with the marriage part-
ner too.
One partner may be
insensitive to feelings of
jealousy arising in the
other. A wife can be jeal-
ous because of the atten-
tion the husband gives to
someone of the opposite
sex. Or a wife may show-
er so much attention on
her child or a relative
that the husband feels ne-
glected, even resentful.
He may show affection to
the child but lessen his
attention towards his
wife. Embarrassed over
such feelings, both may
remain quiet and show
frustrationinothernega-
tive ways. A high price is
paid when both partners
lose their balance.
Jealousy that is in-
duced by insecurity and
fed by imagination
makes partners overly
possessive.Theyfearthat
an outsider will win the
affections of their loved
one by luring him/her.
This brings anger, anxi-
ety and hatred that leads
to violence and physical
abuse. The jealous part-
ner may also resort to fi-
nancial abuse and verbal
bullying to alleviate or
hide feelings.
Questions one can ask
oneself, do I nurture jeal-
ousy? Am I quarrelsome?
Do I have an aggressive
or fighting attitude? Jeal-
ousy is revealed as an
inordinate desire to glo-
rify oneself and one’s
opinions. Such persons
do not acknowledge that
others can have intelli-
gence equal or superior
to them, and are worthy
of due credit.
Generally, a husband
expresses, “why aren’t
you more like me? Why
don’t you see things my
way or do them as I
would?” But peace can be
maintained when one
readily accepts the other
person with his / her
weaknesses.
When one disagrees
with someone, naturally
,
a person controls one’s
emotions and uses appro-
priate language. If a part-
ner resorts to violence,
screaming or throwing
things, then one is behav-
ing like a child. So, if the
other partner is regular-
ly defending oneself
against unreasonable or
accusatory questions,
that signals the need to
sort out the relationship.
Rather than letting
jealousy build up like a
head of steam in a boiler
until there is a violent
explosion, it is better to
discuss one’s feelings
quietly and not accus-
ingly
. Communicating
calmly and being honest
about feelings builds con-
fidence and mutual un-
derstanding.
A husband and wife
need to trust one another
rather than be envious.
Being suspicious and
making mountains out
of mole hills creates fric-
tion. Avoiding situations
that give rise to jealousy
,
and giving the other per-
son benefit of doubt,
keeps love flourishing
and comforts the heart.
Jealousy turns mar-
riage into an unpleasant
prison, but loving atten-
tion, consideration and
trust brings security
.
Jealously of one to-
ward his / her partner is
good if it is a zeal for the
partner’s benefit and
well-being. But improper
jealousy ruins the mar-
riage.
Both partners desire to
be treated with dignity
and respect. Each appre-
ciates when the other is
an active listener and
cares about each others’
feelings. But still when
hurt, one can say, “I’m
going to do to him / her
what he or she did to
me.” For a relationship
to continue and thrive,
one needs to put into it
what one hopes to get
out of it!

T
he Govinda Naam Mera
actress chose a lovely
monotone corset dress.
The splash of pink is what
kicked our interest in us to take
notes of its other features.
It’s the look of a stretch-
jersey fabric that brings the
ruched effect into the lime-
light. The sleeves are a single
feature that makes it look very
winter-ish. You could use a jacket
for an extra layer of warmth. It has
a sweetheart and a plunging neck-
line and a fabulous body-hugging
fit which gives it a cent per
cent-modish look we could
all use for a very special
date night look as
well. Kiara’s dress
which cost ap-
proximately
Rs. 1,00,000
was styled
with silver
hoop ear-
rings and em-
bellished ankle-
strap stilettos. The
Bollywood actress
sported a sleek and
knotted bun hairdo.
Her makeup had a
strong dose of high-
lighter, mascara, kohl,
and glossy lipstick.
A
few days ago, Katrina Kaif
and Vicky Kaushal cele-
brated their first wedding
anniversary
. The couple en-
joyed a short getaway amidst the
mountains, and also shared a
few glimpses from their va-
cay
. Now, days after their an-
niversary, Vicky and Katri-
na were spotted at the
Mumbai airport once again
as they jetted off to an un-
disclosed location. This
morning, Vicky and Kat-
rina were spotted at the
airport in casual out-
fits, and we wonder
if they are headed
for yet another vacation.
The paparazzi clicked
Vicky and Katrina at the
Mumbai airport this morn-
ing, and the lovebirds were seen in
comfy tracksuits. Katrina was all
smiles for the paparazzi
as she made her
way to the en-
trance gate with
Vicky
.
Both Vicky
and Katrina
waved and
smiled at the pa-
parazzi before
entering the
airport.

been teasing fans with cute glimpses
of her daughter. The couple is yet to
reveal her face. Priyanka took to
social media on Friday morning
and dropped yet another adorable
picture with her baby girl. The
picture also featured Nick. The
trio was seen having a fun family
time in Los Angeles.
In the picture, Nick and Priyan-

their little one. They are seen sport-

about in the city. Priyanka has put a

her caption, the new mommy revealed that
they visited a zoo recently. She wrote, “Family
#zoo #familyday #love.” The trio is seen posing
with a jellyfish in the backdrop.
