Kamakhya Mantra Sadhana Evam Siddhi in Hindi by Gurudev Shri Yogeshwaranand Ji
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. Year : 5 Issue No. 40 New Delhi 6-12 March 2017 Rs. 2/- Pages : 16
VIPIN GAUR
PANAJI: The focus in
Goa on Saturday will be on
whether the BJP is able to
retain power and if it gets a
fresh mandate, will Defence
Minister Manohar Parrikar
return to his home state as
chief minister? The main
fight for the 40-member
assembly, which went to
polls on February 4 and
recorded an impressive
turnout of 83 per cent, is
between the BJP and the
Congress. The Aam Admi
Party also made a serious
bid this time around, con-
testing a majority of seats.
The BJP fielded candi-
dates in 36 constituencies
and supported independents
in the remaining seats.
The BJP's poll campaign
was led by Parrikar, which
fuelled speculation that he
may be chosen as chief
minister if the the party
returns to power in the state.
Incumbent Chief
Minister Laxmikant
Parsekar is also in the fray.
Though the BJP leadership
has not come out with an
official statement on the
leadership issue, some sen-
ior party leaders said during
campaigning that the chief
ministerial nominee would
be chosen by the elected
legislators.
The Congress, the main
opposition in the state, has
fielded its nominees on 37
seats and backed the candi-
dates of the United Goan,
Goa Forward and an inde-
pendent in the rest. The out-
come will also decide the
fate of the alliance between
Maharashtrawadi Gomantak
Party(MGP) , Goa Suraksha
Manch (GSM) and the Shiv
Sena.
The MGP, one of the
oldest regional outfits,
broke alliance with the BJP
before the elections, while
the GSM was floated by
RSS rebel Subhash
Velingkar.
The combine, according
to political analysts, could
harm the BJP more than the
Congress and the NCP. A
new entrant to the electoral
scene in the coastal state,
the AAP has contested in 39
seats and the leaders who
campaigned for the party
included Delhi Chief
Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Keenly watched con-
stituencies in the state
include Mandrem in North
Goa from where Parsekar is
seeking re-election and
Panaji, which was repre-
sented by Parrikar before he
moved to the Centre.
Latest Comment In
2012, the BJP had come to
power in Goa with 21 seats,
The Congress had got 9
seats, MGP 3, Goa Vikas
Party 2 and Independents 5.

COLUMN
International Women’s
Day serves to remind us,
lost, as we tend to be, in the
hurly-burly of daily toil, of
a vital goal of equality that
has not only not been
achieved ever since it was
recognised as a vital part of
social emancipation but
appears as remote today as
it was a decade ago.
Gender equality should
not be the concern of
women alone, but of all cit-
izens who want to live in a
democratic polity and an
equitable society. Sure, this
cannot be achieved by ded-
icating one day to the
cause. But that one day
should serve to re-examine
the work agenda towards
equality and rededicate
every organisation to this
goal.
In India, the next step
towards gender justice
varies, depending on one’s
location. In some parts, it is
ending female foeticide and
getting girls into schools. In
some circles, it is progress-
ing to paternity leave. In
some religions, it is ending
bias rooted in personal law,
in others, it is bringing tra-
dition and practice in line
with reformed laws. In a
place like Nagaland, cus-
tomary law precludes
women from political lead-
ership, putting it at odds
with the basic spirit of the
Constitution.
Unlike in countries with
a relatively more even
spread of social develop-
ment, in India, the relative
liberation of working
women, especially those in
the organised sector, from
the drudgery of unpaid,
unrecognised domestic
work comes at the expense
of less fortunate women,
who are still redeemed
from abject poverty by the
menial jobs they perform at
other people’s homes.
But all women live
under the shadow of sexual
violence in India, whether
actresses, call centre exec-
utives working late in the
office or returning home at
dusk, rural women step-
ping out to relieve them-
selves or just about any
woman deemed, as per the
norms of patriarchal tradi-
tion, to be transgressing
codes of propriety in terms
of dress, place, time or the
gender of her companion.
Yes, there are horrid
acid attacks by spurned
men, but there are also
women who increasingly
break the glass ceiling or
fight back against sexual
harassment at the work-
place. Stronger democracy
is what all women need,
along with men.
Democracy remains the key to women’s equality
Traditional class war-
riors, the Left, can still
mine the rich vein of class
anger Demonetisation has
tapped so effectively and
creatively. Whether PM
Narendra Modi would
blow away all opposition
in Uttar Pradesh and win
the state for the BJP
remains a matter of conjec-
ture as of now. What is
fairly certain is that
Demonetisation (DeMo)
has been far from the elec-
toral disaster it deserved to
be, for having wrecked
jobs, small businesses and
domestic peace in all
homes where the women
had squirrelled away small
sums without their men-
folk’s knowledge.
Modi Alchemy
The reason DeMo could
inflict pain without elicit-
ing anger against the gov-
ernment is class antago-
nism. This column had
argued, in ‘Narendra Indira
Modi?’ (November 16,
2016), that Modi was using
DeMo to rally the poor
against the rich, with his
high-pitched rhetoric
against ill-gotten wealth
and call to the people to
join the battle by bearing
the shortterm pain of miss-
ing cash. Modi rolled out
traders and businessmen,
who directly bore the brunt
of business loss and the
conversion cost of turning
black money into white,
from his support base. At
the same time, he rolled in
the poor, who took the pain
in their stoic stride, but
delighted in the evident
panic among the rich, and
at Modi’s messianic prom-
ises: the queue in front of
the bank is the last line in
which the poor would
stand, for the end of black
money would make them
rich.
Jai inqilab zindabad!
DeMo does not, of
course, even scratch the
surface of the black money
problem. To begin with,
only a part of black money
stays as wealth, the rest
flows through the econo-
my. When a politician’s
corrupt income is lent to a
builder or a variety of
small and medium enter-
prises that do not have
access to bank finance, the
flow starts as black money,
becomes white when the
recipient uses it to buy
material for construction or
pays his workers. The sup-
plier of some of the materi-
als he has purchased could
cook his books to evade
taxes, and create fresh
black money. This could
again become white and
change colour as it courses
through the economy’s
veins.
Of the black money that
is stored as wealth, the bulk
is in real estate, the rest
mostly in gold and dollar
holdings. Except in the
case of the really rich, the
kind who overinvoice proj-
ect costs, raise more debt
than they need and siphon
money out of their projects
during implementation.
They can also overinvoice
imports and underinvoice
exports and take money
abroad. They can start
companies abroad — for
which they can take money
out with the Reserve Bank
of India’s (RBI) permis-
sion. The companies can
invest in countless sub-
sidiaries in places like
Panama, the Isle of Man,
etc, and lose their original
identity, after which their
funds can flow back to
India as subaccounts of
FIIs. None of this would be
affected by DeMo.
Prof Arun Kumar, for-
merly at JNU, has studied
black money extensively;
he estimates that only
about 3% of black money
is stored as a cash stash.
This is the only bit affected
by DeMo. But even the
owners of cash found ways
and means to convert their
stored cash into legitimate
bank deposits. So much so
that the RBI has not
released the data on how
much of the demonetised
currency came back to the
banks. Hopefully, it would
finish counting the notes at
least when the Election
Commission finishes
counting votes in the ongo-
ing assembly elections.
Political Messaging
At the same time, DeMo
depressed economic
growth by something like
1%, according to the
Economic Survey. When
GDP data for the
September-December
quarter came out, it seemed
to belie such forecasts,
prompting a commentator
to suggest that the govern-
ment demonetise four-
fifths of the currency in cir-
culation every other month
or so, just to keep econom-
ic momentum strong.
It is not the case that the
CSO fudged figures. Indian
ingenuity did. Traders and
businesses showed huge
sales and profits, so as to
bring their cash hoards into
legal channels. They paid
tax on these, leading to
robust tax collections as
well. The CSO estimates
industrial growth looking
at financial reporting by
companies and tax collec-
tions. Since these were
robust, so was its growth
estimate.
The ordinary voter does
not go by GDP numbers.
He goes by the political
messaging he receives. In
the midst of growing
inequality, driven presum-
ably by cronyism and cor-
ruption, and in the back-
ground of generalised
venality among politicians
and babus, he sees one
political leader take deci-
sive action to stamp out ill-
gotten riches. His class
anger against the illicit rich
transmutes into support for
this decisive leader.
Left parties can learn from PM Narendra Modi

NATIONAL
NEW DELHI: For a
casual observer, it may
seem that a new spring in
the air for Indo-Pak rela-
tions. India climbed down
on the new Saarc secretary
general, India and Pakistan
exchanged fishermen
lodged in prisons and earli-
er this week, New Delhi
softened its declared hostil-
ity to the Indus Waters
Treaty (IWT) by agreeing to
send the Indus
Commissioner for a meet-
ing+ of the Indus
Commission in Lahore later
this month.
However, it appears ter-
ror might still be the decid-
ing factor for India to
reboot its ties with Pakistan.
Senior government sources
say India will monitor terror
activity by Pakistan before
deciding its next course of
action. With the snow set to
melt in the upper reaches,
India will look for infiltra-
tion attempts+ by Pak-
based terrorists and its
actions to foment unrest in
the Kashmir Valley.
Last year saw some of
the worst protests in the
Valley where, the sources
said, they had detected sub-
stantial involvement of the
Pakistani establishment.
Also last year, India went
through terror attacks in
Pathankot+ , Uri+ and
Nagrota+ , all with
Pakistani footprint. Hence,
the government is more
cautious this year.
However, India doesn't
want to keep the silence at
the hostility level.
Therefore meetings and
prisoner exchanges will go
on as usual, which will
serve to reduce the tempera-
ture without both sides hav-
ing to go in for substantive
dialogue. Now India will
engage with Pakistan only
to eliminate its terror
camps, jihadis, and the ISI.
Muslim countries don''t
understand the Table-talk
anyway, hence no need to
engage in talks!Arjuns
Gandiva On the Indus
Water Treaty+ (IWT),
India had opposed the
World Bank's decision to
go through the dispute set-
tlement process using two
parallel tracks asked for by
both countries. It led an
incensed India to threaten
to walk out. Subsequently,
the World Bank stopped
both, and has gone back to
the procedures laid down
in the treaty which esca-
lates from commissioners'
meeting to a neutral expert
to arbitration.
In response, India lifted
its objection to a meeting
of the Indus commissioners
in Lahore. World Bank
sources, however, indicat-
ed that there is "status quo"
between the two sides. In
the days after the Uri
attack, India decided to
"review" the treaty, utilise
the eastern rivers fully,
with the PM laying down a
red line which said "blood
and water cannot flow
together".
On Saturday, India
announced resumption of
construction of a dam proj-
ect on the eastern rivers,
which had been stalled for
over a decade.
LUCKNOW: Uttar
Pradesh governor Ram
Naik asked chief minister
Akhilesh Yadav on Sunday
why absconding minister
Gayatri Prajapati, who is
accused of rape, was still in
his cabinet. In a letter to
Akhilesh, the governor said
Prajapati, who is minister
for transport, faced grave
charges. "His continuation
as minister raises serious
questions on the constitu-
tional and moral values of a
democratic set-up," Naik
wrote. Sources said Naik
pointed out that since
Prajapati had defied the
CM's directive to surrender,
it showed the cabinet in
poor light. He hinted that
action was warranted
against the minister.
Gayatri Prajapati, who
is also the Samajwadi Party
candidate from Amethi, was
booked in a rape case on
orders of the Supreme
Court. Last week, a local
court issued arrest warrants
against him and six others
for alleged rape and attempt
to molest the survivor's
minor daughter.
The governor pointed
out that Prajapati has defied
CM Akhilesh Yadav's direc-
tive to surrender. The minis-
ter's passport has been sus-
pended while a lookout cir-
cular was issued against
him to prevent him from
going abroad. This is not
the first time Prajapati is in
the dock. This is India. A
minister in the state cabinet
accused of rape avoids
arrest, roams freely with the
state privided security, con-
tests elections, promotes
himself, attends meetings

Earlier, during his stint
as minister for mining, he
was dropped from the cabi-
net by Akhilesh after SC
ordered a CBI inquiry into
rampant corruption in the
mining department.
Akhilesh, however, had to
reinstate him at Mulayam
Singh Yadav's behest.

NEW DELHI: The RBI
has urged the Delhi high
court to dismiss a PIL
against surcharge on cred-
it/debit card transactions. It
has argued that the tool of
Public interest litigation
(PIL) cannot be used as a
"weapon to challenge finan-
cial or economic deci-
sions", while opposing the
plea.
The PIL has challenged
the surcharge levied by the
banks and the financial
institutions on credit and
debit card transactions say-
ing it is "illegal" and "dis-
criminatory" and wants the
court to intervene. "The
decisions are taken by the
RBI in exercise of its
administrative/ statutory
powers and in public inter-
est. The issues in the writ
petition pertain purely to
the economic policy of the
state and the challenge to
the same at the instance of a
public-spirited person can-
not fall within the parame-
ters of PIL, as has been laid
down by the Supreme Court
from time to time," the RBI
submitted before a bench
comprising Chief Justice G
Rohini and Justice Sangita
Dhingra Sehgal.

7. BENGALURU: Women
comprise just one third of
the labour force in
Karnataka. As per 2014-15
data from the director of
employment and training in
the labour department, of
the 23.85 lakh employed
citizens in the state, only
7.72 lakh are women.
Predictably, among the
districts, Bengaluru tops the
list, with 3.16 lakh women
in the workforce. The data
further categorizes employ-
ment into private and public
sectors. Going by this clas-
sification, Bengaluru has
2.59 lakh women working
in the private sector and
56,478 in government serv-
ices.
Learning about insur-
ance was never this fun
While Mysuru district
has the highest number of
women employed in the
public sector (21,056),
Dakshina Kannada has 1.26
lakh women employed in
private jobs. This also
reflects the higher literacy
levels in these districts.
However, the difference is
more visible between rural
and urban areas.
The 2015-16 workforce
database reveals 38% of
rural women are part of the
workforce (about 70
lakh), while urban areas
have 20.8% of women in
the workforce (about 30
lakh). However, though a
lot of women are
employed in the agricul-
tural sector, their presence
is not recorded as part of
the labour force because
the sector is still unorgan-
ized. However,
Karnataka's women
employment scenario is bet-
ter than the national aver-
age, claims a study by the
International Labour
Organization (ILO).
According to the ILO, about
26% of women are
employed in India as
against 80% men. And it's
the agricultural sector that
accommodates most of
these women (almost 80%
of the total women work-
force).
However, going by ILO's
report, the national figures
are not just low but also on
a steady decline due to the
high attrition rate among
women in both formal and
informal job sectors. This
also indicates the difficul-
ties women face in perform-
ing domestic duties and
contributing towards family
work which are not consid-
ered part of paid labour.
Insights from primary sur-
veys underscore factors
such as reproductive roles,
household and care respon-
sibilities, cultural sanctions,
patriarchal hierarchies -- all
of which impact their scope
of stepping out of homes to
work.

JAIPUR: A fort built by
Mughal emperor Akbar
and known to the ages that
followed as 'Akbar ka Qila'
was quietly renamed
'Ajmer ka Qila and
Sangrahalaya' in 2015
merely on the verbal
orders of a sub-divisional
magistrate acting on the
proposal of a BJP
Rajasthan minister and
RSS member.
No expert committee.
No scrutiny by a panel of
academics. Nothing.
Except the whim of
Rajasthan education minis-
ter Vasudev Devnani who
has in the past expounded
on cow dung offering pro-
tection against radioactivi-
ty and cows exhaling pure
oxygen. The fort, built by
the Mughal emperor in
1570, carried his name
even when the Rathors,
Marathas and the British
ruled the land.
The original name of
the fort in Ajmer enjoys
legal sanction from a
gazette notification of
December 12, 1968 that
states the title of the fort is
Akbar ka Qila, or
Magazine, or Daulat
Khana. No amendment has
been effected since then.
Not until Rajasthan
minister Vasudev Devnani,
who is also an MLA from
Ajmer North, had an idea
he thought historic:
Propose to the administra-
tion that the name be
changed to 'Ajmer ka Qila'.
The then sub-divisional
magistrate, Harphool
Yadav, consequently
issued verbal orders that
the name be changed.
Officials then placed a
plaque above the entrance
that read 'Ajmer ka Qila
and Sangrahalaya'.
The renaming surfaced
after a letter in the last
week of February by one
Tarannum Chishti (identity
not confirmed by police)
threatened the minister,
Devnani, with dire conse-
quences if the name of the
fort did not revert to the
original.
Textbooks changed too
Major changes in text-
books in the state followed
the 2015 renaming of the
fort, including the educa-
tion department dropping
the suffix 'the Great' that
usually follows emperor
Akbar's name. Repeated
calls and texts sent by TOI
to the director of the state
Archaeological Survey of
India, Hridesh Kumar
Sharma, elicited no
response. The building is a
declared protected site
under the Archaeological
Survey of India as
'Magazine building and
Akbar Fort'.
Defending his decision,
Devnani told "The renam-
ing was done to respect the
sentiments of the general
public. This fort has
always been named after
the historic city of Ajmer,
which has existed since the
9th century (AD), and
nothing has been changed
in the fort — the garden,
arches, galleries etc.
Above all, the structure
has nothing which person-
ally belonged to Akbar."
History contradicts
Devnani's claims. The old-
est reference to this fort is
found in the journal of Sir
Thomas Roe, the ambassa-
dor of King James I of
England to the Mughal
court. When Roe asked
emperor Jahangir at the
fort in 1615 for a piece of
land in the Deccan, he
referred to the fort as
'Akbar's palace'. A manu-
script placed on a second
entrance wall (on the right
side) in 'Hindvi' script
reads 'Akbar-Ki-Qila'. The
script, in the old
Devnagari, dates back 300
years.
Officials at the fort have
repeatedly sought Hridesh
Sharma's guidance regard-
ing the new name on the
board but have received no
response.
'Ajmer Historical and
Descriptive', a book by
jurist and academic Har
Bilas Sarda, describes the
building as the royal resi-
dence of emperors Akbar,
Jahangir and Shah Jahan,
indicating the historical
significance of this fort.

INTERNATIONAL
PARIS: WikiLeaks will
work with technology com-
panies to help defend them
against the Central
Intelligence Agency's hack-
ing tools, founder Julian
Assange said on Thursday,
an approach which sets up a
potential conflict between
Silicon Valley firms eager to
protect their products and an
agency stung by the radical
transparency group's disclo-
sures.
In an online press confer-
ence, Assange acknowl-
edged that some companies
had asked for more details
about the CIA cyberespi-
onage toolkit whose exis-
tence he purportedly
revealed in a massive leak
published Tuesday.
"We have decided to
work with them, to give
them some exclusive access
to some of the technical
details we have, so that fixes
can be pushed out," Assange
said. Once tech firms had
patched their products, he
said, he would release the
full data of the hacking tools
to the public.
The CIA has so far
declined to comment direct-
ly on the authenticity of the
leak, but in a statement
issued Wednesday it sug-
gested that the release had
been damaging by equip-
ping adversaries "with tools
and information to do us
harm." Assange began his
online press conference
with a dig at the agency for
losing control of its cyberes-
pionage arsenal, saying that
all the data had been kept in
one place. "This is a historic
act of devastating incompe-
tence,'' he said, adding that,
"WikiLeaks discovered the
material as a result of it
being passed around." Dear
WikiLeaks : contemporary
world is facing a serious
threat in the form of Dragon
, bigger than C I A !!!! they
steal technology,resort to
reverse engineering and so
on.disable them firstN
Renganathan
Assange said the tech-
nology was nearly impossi-
ble to keep under wraps —
or under control. "There's
absolutely nothing to stop a
random CIA officer'' or even
a contractor from using the
technology, Assange said.
"The technology is designed
to be unaccountable,
untraceable; it's designed to
remove traces of its activi-
ty."

There's no romance about

find Pakistan being drawn
deeper into Beijing's embrace
and its promise of $46 billion
in energy, infrastructure and

The money could trans-
form the Muslim nation's

contrast, is losing faith in
how much its largesse can
influence Pakistan. Many
frustrated US policymakers
see Pakistan as a terrorist

an American retreat could

ty in a regional powder keg of

WASHINGTON: US
President Donald Trump on
Monday signed a revised,
more limited executive
order banning migrants
from six mostly-Muslim
countries from coming to
the United States for 90
days.
The new order, aimed at
getting around the legal
smackdown that spiked the
first presidential decree on
the subject+ , drops Iraq
from the list of seven coun-
tries that includes Iran,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan,
Syria, and Yemen. US
Green card holders will be
exempted.
Trump advisors, many
from the military, argued
that Iraq was now an ally
and blocking Iraqis who
helped the United States in
the war effort would be
detrimental to American
interests. Officials also said
Iraq had agreed to a "timely
repatriation" of its citizens if
they were ordered to be
deported, something other
proscribed countries appar-
ently don't do.
About the six countries
identified for the travel ban,
the new order+ said: Each of
these countries is a state
sponsor of terrorism, has
been significantly compro-
mised by terrorist organiza-
tions, or contains active
conflict zones.
Any of these circum-
stances diminishes the for-
eign government's willing-
ness or ability to share or
validate important informa-
tion about individuals seek-
ing to travel to the United
States. Moreover, it said, the
"significant presence in
each of these countries of
terrorist organizations, their
members, and others
exposed to those organiza-
tions increases the chance
that conditions will be
exploited to enable terrorist
operatives or sympathizers
to travel to the United
States." Finally, it added,
once foreign nationals from
these countries are admitted
to the US, "it is often diffi-
cult to remove them,
because many of these
countries typically delay
issuing, or refuse to issue,
travel documents."
Trump signed the latest
order sans ceremony after
the first effort ended in a
fiasco+ when it was struck
down by courts+ . Officials
who briefed reporters on
background said there
should be no chaos or con-
fusion at the airports in
implementing this order and
the administration expected
it to pass legal muster.
In a separate memoran-
dum addressed to the US
Secretary of State, Attorney
General and the Secretary
of Homeland Security, the
US President also directed
"implementing immediate
heightened screening and
vetting of applications for
visas and other immigration
benefits, Ensuring
Enforcement of All Laws
for Entry into the United
States, and Increasing
Transparency among
Departments and Agencies
of the Federal Government
and for the American
People."

HEALTH
The festival of colours
is here and we all are
thinking about ditching our
diet plans. Holi being one
of our favourite festivals,
the desire is absolutely jus-
tified. But there are ways
your diet plan may not go
awry. Here are some foods
which, with certain minute
changes, won't hamper
your fitness plan and
would yet keep your binge
mode satisfied. Please do
not forget to keep propor-
tion in mind, anything less
and anything in excess is
equally bad.
Fruit kheer
Apples, pears, oranges,
pineapples, bananas and
grapes: these fruits are not
meant for your diet snacks
only. Allow them to multi-
task. Replace rice and
makhaanas with fruits of
your choice in your kheer.
It will not only make it
delicious but will also play
safe with your fitness
routine.
Aloo-palak chaat
Replace the fried pota-
toes with boiled ones, add
blanched spinach leaves
and relish with your
favourite chutneys and
curd.
Lentil chaat
Chaat is an essential
part of Holi and you
should not shy away from
eating it. Rather than
including deeply fried
potatoes in your chaat,
include lentils like Moong
along with onions, toma-
toes and coriander and
enjoy the mouth-watering
snack.
Baked gujiya
You cannot miss out on
this Holi delicacy. Making
gujiya at home is easy and
essential for those who
wish to keep their health in
check. Rather than frying,
bake these appetizing
sweet foods. Fillings can
include: coconut, pears,
plums, apples and
cardamom.
Fruit halwa
Replacing semolina
(suji) with your favourite
fruit means more nutrition
than ever. Keeping the pro-
portion in mind, fruit
halwa is the best way to
end your Holi-coma.
Thandai
Yes. The scrumptious
Holi drink should not be
left out. Replace sugar
with honey or date honey
and add at least four vari-
eties of dry-fruits and nuts
(mainly almonds, pista-
chios, walnuts and dates).
You are good to go.
Besan ka cheela
Being confused about
Holi morning breakfast is
common. One way to ener-
gise yourself before play-
ing Holi is through protein.
Load your cheela with
vegetables like onions, bell
peppers and tomatoes.
Savour with your favourite
mint and saunth chutney.
Kanji
This delectable age old
drink is great to bring
colour to your diet plan
and has the additional ben-
efits of vitamins and min-
erals.
Coconut ladoo
Quench your sweet
tooth by eating this deli-
cious combination of nuts
and coconut, which is great
for metabolism while not
adding to weight. Replace
sugar with coconut, nuts
and cardomom, and satisfy
your sweet buds.
Diet tweaks for a happy holi!
The colourful time of the year is back
with the bonus of a long weekend. Isn’t this
the best time to spend with your family,
reviving the old traditions of homemade
gujiyas and organic colours? Have some
colourful time at home with your loved
ones and surprise your friends and guests
by making these vibrant Holi colours at
home!
To make dry colour:
1. Red sandalwood powder can be used
as dry red colour. Also, sandalwood is also
loaded with many skin soothing properties.
2. Red Hibiscus flowers can also be
dried and powdered to be used as a dry
colour. Flour can be mixed with them to
increase their quantity.
To make wet red colour:
1. Mix 2 spoons of sandalwood powder
with a litre of water. Bring it to boil and
dilute it before splashing it over your
friends.
2. Peel red pomegranates and boil it in
water to get that luscious red colour.
3. Mix 2 spoons of turmeric powder and
a little lime powder or drops of lemon juice
in water. Dilute it and the mixture is ready
to use.
The vivid green
To make dry green gulaal:
1. Mehendi or henna powder can be
mixed with flour to get that green colour.
2. Grind leaves of spinach, coriander,
mint and other leafy vegetables together
and dry them to obtain green colour.
To make wet green colour:
Mix dry henna powder with some water
to prepare the green wet colour.
The lively yellow
To make dry yellow gulaal:
Mix 2 spoons of turmeric powder with
four spoons of besan. This will give you
that rich yellow colour.
To make wet yellow colour:
Mix turmeric powder in water to get a
brilliant yellow colour.
1. Use some dried beet root and powder
it. What you get is a beautiful magenta
colour.
To make wet magenta colour:
Boil the peels of onion in half litre of
water to obtain a light magenta colour.
The beaming purple!
Mix the juice of black grapes or jamun
with water to remove stickiness and to get
that rich purple colour. You can get dry
colour by mixing the same with flour and
dilute it in water to get wet colour.
A recent study lists caf-
feine amongst the 24 com-
pounds that have the potential
to boost an enzyme in the
brain which protects against
dementia. The study appears
in the journal Scientific
Reports. The protective effect
of the enzyme, called
NMNAT2, was discovered
last year through research con-
ducted at IU Bloomington.
"This work could help
advance efforts to develop
drugs that increase levels of
this enzyme in the brain, cre-
ating a chemical 'blockade'
against the debilitating effects
of neurodegenerative disor-
ders," said Hui-Chen Lu, who
led the study.
Lu is a Gill Professor in the
Linda and Jack Gill Center for
Biomolecular Science and the
Department of Psychological
and Brain Sciences, a part of
the IU Bloomington College
of Arts and Sciences.
Previously, Lu and colleagues
found that NMNAT2 plays
two roles in the brain: a pro-
tective function to guard neu-
rons from stress and a "chap-
erone function" to combat
misfolded proteins called tau,
which accumulate in the brain
as "plaques" due to aging. The
study was the first to reveal
the "chaperone function" in
the enzyme. Misfolded pro-
teins have been linked to neu-
rodegenerative disorders such
as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's
and Huntington's diseases, as
well as amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, also known as ALS
or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Alzheimer's disease, the most
common form of these disor-
ders, affects over 5.4 million
Americans, with numbers
expected to rise as the popula-
tion ages.

NEW DELHI: Coca-
Cola is preparing to launch
packaged coconut water in
India, as increasing con-
sumer preference towards
non-sugary drinks take the
fizz out of cola sales.
In India, Coke is test
marketing Zico, a US
coconut water brand it
acquired in late 2013.
Packaged coconut water is
one of the fastest growing
beverage categories in the
world and the 2013 deal
has given the company the
top position in the seg-
ment. Positioned as a ‘nat-
ural replenishment’, brand
Zico has been gaining
traction in world markets,
information posted on its
website said. Coke is
importing the product and
testing it in at least two
Indian markets, two trade
officials directly aware of
the matter said. “Though
brands such as these are
niche, Coca-Cola has to
prepare the decks and
hedge bets, as the backlash
on cola consumption and
health activism is gaining
ground in the country,”
one of them said. In India,
Coke and rival PepsiCo
are facing more troubles.
Some trader associations
in Tamil Nadu and Kerala
said their members would
not sell the soft drinks
made by the two compa-
nies, which they accuse
were drawing too much
groundwater and depleting
the water resources in the
states facing a severe
drought.
MUMBAI: The
Maharashtra government
has taken a slew of meas-
ures to double farmer
income in the next five
years and address the issue
of agrarian distress, said
Governor Vidyasagar Rao
on Monday.
The state remains a pre-
ferred destination for for-
eign investment as it
accounted for 50 per cent
of the total FDI inflow in
India in the past six
months, he said.
Rao was addressing a
joint sitting of the state
legislature on the first day
of the Budget session. In
addition to attracting a
major share of FDI and
taking efforts to accelerate
economic growth, the gov-
ernment had initiated a
slew of farmer-friendly
measures in form of sus-
tainable development
schemes, marketing sup-
port, crop insurance, water
conservation, irrigation
and agriculture diversifica-
tion, he said. "These meas-
ures are directed at miti-
gating agrarian distress
and increasing agriculture
productivity.
They will also con-
tribute in doubling of
farmer income in the next
five years," the governor
told the members of both
Houses. Rao said
Maharashtra leads in the
implementation of Pradhan
Mantri Fasal Bima
Yogana, operationalised in
the state from 2016 kharif
season. Around 1.08 crore
farmers have enrolled
themselves in the crop
insurance scheme. Nearly
80 lakh soil health cards
have been distributed to
farmers in order to ensure
balanced and effective use
of fertilisers, the governor
said.
A state-sponsored
scheme has been started
from this year to dissemi-
nate information regarding
farm technologies and
facilitate timely distribu-
tion of inputs, Rao said.
NEW DELHI: The
Cabinet Committee on
Economic Affairs on
Monday approved the pro-
posal for revival of 50

and civil enclaves in three
financial years starting
from 2017-18. "The total
cost of the project is esti-
mated to be Rs 4,500 crore.
Fifteen airports/airstrips
each would be revived dur-
ing 2017-18 and 2018-19,
while 20 airports/airstrips
would be revived during
2019-20," said a govern-
ment statement. "As an out-
come of the approval, small
cities/towns shall be con-
nected on commencement
of operation of flights to
under-served/un-served air-
ports. It will further boost
the economic development
in these areas as well as sur-
rounding areas in terms of
job creation and related
infrastructure develop-
ment," said the statement.
The revival of airstrips/air-
ports will be "demand driv-
en", depending upon firm
commitment from airline
operators as well as from
the state governments for
providing various conces-
sions. The announcement
for making adequate provi-
sions for revival of
unserved and underserved
airports was made by the
finance minister in Union
Budget 2016-17.
CHANDIGARH: Faced
with new challenges in the
farm sector, the Haryana
government will prepare
farmers for concepts like
climate-smart agriculture,
organic farming and micro
irrigation. The 2nd Agri-
leadership Summit being
organised at Surajkund
from March 18-20 would
provide a platform to focus
on issues like doubling of
farmers' income, soil
health, aquaculture and
agro industries, Haryana
Agriculture and Farmers'
Welfare Minister O P
Dhankar said. He empha-
sised the need to have an
effective chain right from
cultivation to packing,
branding and marketing.
Giving an example, he said
in the sale of potato chips,
the farmer is ignored
whereas being the grower
of the crop, he should be an
important factor in this
chain. The state govern-
ment is following the con-
cept of peri-urban agricul-
ture, as he had seen in
Beijing, where farmers' out-
put meets the needs of
adjoining cities.
"Agricultural products,
being perishable, have a
short life. Therefore, the
farmers must cultivate need
based crops in areas adjoin-
ing cities. Emphasis is being
laid on bringing 25 per cent
of the cultivable area under
horticulture. Apart from a
modern vegetable mandi, a
flower mandi is also being
developed," he added. The
minister said in milk pro-
duction, Haryana is next to
Gujarat and Punjab. "But as
Haryana has potential to do
better, it can excel in this
field by promoting dairy
farming as a profession and
adopting some new means,"
he said. Referring to organic
farming, he cited the exam-
ple of Sikkim which is now
an 'Organic State' and has
been honoured by the Prime
Minister. Dhankar said the
400 gaushalas in Haryana
can contribute towards pro-
motion of organic farming.
The concept of climate-
smart agriculture or risk
agriculture has already been
adopted in some countries
to meet the challenge posed
by climate change.

It is time to bring out the
colours and spray cans as the
festival of Holi is just around
the corner. While several
Bollywood stars will be head-
ing out to the biggest and
wildest bashes, the industry's
first family, the Bachchans
will be absent from the festivi-
ties. According to latest
reports, the Bachchans will not
be participating in the Holi fes-

Abhishek are known to host
grand Holi parties every year,
along with close family and
friends in attendance. Owing
to their current distress, the
family will only host a pooja

Johansson says
she will never
talk about the
'dissolution' of
her marriage to
Roman Dauriac
because of their
two-year-old
daughter Rose.
She says
people should
not get involved in her private matter. Johansson signed legal
documents to end her relationship with Dauriac on Tuesday, after
two years of marriage, because she believes their relationship is
irretrievably broken.
Denying allegations against her by organisers of India-Pakistan
London Fashion Show, actress Bipasha Babu on Thursday said she
always holds a high value for self-respect and won't be a victim of
"bullying" or "arm twisting". Bipasha and her husband Karan
Singh Grover were slammed by the organisers for lack of profes-
sionalism, after the 'Jism' actress refused to walk the ramp hours
before the show. Shedding light on the incident, Bipasha, dished
out an open letter.
"The deal was made with a set of agreed conditions. However,
when I landed there for the project as planned, I realised that the
organisers hadn't honoured their end of the bargain, in spite of con-
firming with my manager that they had."
Having agreed to travel on a hospitality deal, Bipasha said that
"never was I treated so badly". "My self-respect holds the highest
value and I refuse to be a victim of bullying or arm-twisting. They
expected me to hold true to my end of the bargain, whereas they
had completely defaulted at their end," she added.
