FOREWORD by Karina Andersen, Founder
I am humbled by a year of incredible growth.
We have opened so many new and exciting doors and partnered with like-minded souls who deeply connect to our passion and our purpose. These partnerships have allowed us to extend ourselves even further and gift especially South African youth-at-risk with our enabling platform, a TRI toolkit and our SmilingOne Change Agents!
2018/19 has allowed for years of deeply focused Change Agent work to move to the next level! I love how the journey guides us. It keeps revealing the steps to take. At times we are called to pause and at other times we are called to stretch. It has been a year of huge stretch. It continues to ask for more and that we bow to the process. Only when we bow can we open our hearts and minds to purify our intent. We are here to SERVE a much greater purpose than ourselves. We want to cause ripples of change which will echo in the hearts and minds of those we touch. We want to leave a lasting footprint and be woven into the tapestry of lives transformed forever. Just like nature every single process is connected. WE are all connected! There is a greater rhythm to honour - a grand symphony. My task is to keep us honest and aligned to this wonderful balance which begins with how we as a SmilingOne Team live and practice our own consciousness toolkit, grounding ourselves firmly, moving from our deepest essence.
I am thrilled to share our annual report with you and invite you to celebrate with us the wonderful progress…

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

3. It is with great pleasure that I extend my warmest greetings to the
members of the Rajasthan Association of North America (RANA) Canada
Branch.
Among Canada’s greatest assets is our rich cultural diversity. As a
nation, we have successfully forged a cohesive, pluralistic society thanks to the
efforts of our diverse communities. This occasion offers an ideal opportunity to
celebrate the many contributions Canadians who can trace their roots to the
province of Rajasthan, India, have made to our country’s growth and
development.
I would like to commend everyone associated with RANA Canada
for setting an example for new generations of Canadians who are proud of their
heritage but look forward to building a good life in their adopted country.
Please accept my best wishes for every success in your future
endeavours.

5. From the Desk of the President
Former Indian President Kalam, when asked what we Indians should do to make
our mother country proud, advised us to give our best to the country where we
live; it will make both Canada and India proud of the Indians living in Canada.
Every member of RANA gave his or her best to RANA and that is why today, we
are a proud community in Canada as well as in India, where people mention our
name with pride. The commitment, devotion and tireless effort of our members to
achieve the best either when performing for RANA events or organizing an event,
has earned a rightful place for us not only in Indo-Canadian community but in
main stream of Canada—political or social.
Today RANA is known as an organization, which is aware of its responsibilities
towards the community and the country, which is alert towards the danger
looming over our society, which is ready to take a stand against elements who wish
to harm the cohesive fabric of Indo-Canadian Community by breeding hatred,
terror and militancy.
The achievements of the last year and a half would not have been possible without the direction given by our patrons
at the early stage of the organization, without the enthusiasm of our new members, youth and ladies of RANA.
During this period, we were invited to the Prime Minister’s economic round table, we sponsored National Diwali at
Ottawa and the Ramleela performed by our members during Diwali celebrations earned kudos from religious, literary
and political leaders of our society. The performances of our youth always left audience awestruck, and we receive
numerous requests every month, for a Rajasthani cultural programme by our youth, from various organizations and
societies in the GTA. Our annual picnic was talked about for months, and we were flooded with requests for invite for
the 2011 picnic.
As well, our first attempt to publish our magazine got an overwhelming response from community.
Our delegation of nearly a hundred delegates to Rajasthani International Convention prompted the Chief Minister of
Rajasthan to suggest, that the next convention should be hosted by us, in Canada.
I have a word for those who usually ask, “What is there for us if we become a member of RANA?” This reminds me of
the famous words of President John F. Kennedy:
“And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.”
Let me put it this way for our community: ask not what the community including RANA can do for you, ask what
you can do for your community and RANA.

I am delighted to send this message to the annual magazine of the Rajasthan Association of
North America (RANA Canada).
Once again, RANA Canada has achieved a remarkable year. As the Honorary Patron for RANA
Canada, it has been my pleasure to work closely with members of the association, resulting in
strong bonds of friendship and cooperation.
In November 2010, RANA was a co-sponsor of the 10th National Diwali Celebration on
Parliament Hill, which I organized and was attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Later
that month, I was happy to be in attendance at RANA’s Diwali celebration in Mississauga.
Canada is home to a vibrant Indo-Canadian community, among them illustrious Indo-Canadians
of Rajasthani origin. They form part of the rich mosaic of cultures that make up our great
nation and its vibrant communities.
Since its inception, RANA Canada and its members have worked hard to promote and preserve
the culture, the values, the heritage and traditions of Rajasthan. In the process, they have
created a wonderful show window for Indian and Rajasthani heritage and have contributed
towards Canadians’ understanding of this dynamic community.
I commend the good work you have done and wish you much success in your future
endeavours.

Mark Twain, the famous writer, once said - “India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace
of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of
tradition. Our most valuable and most constructive materials in the history of man are treasured
up in India only.” This is very true!
With the determination of keeping this great grandmother of tradition alive in our mind, body
and soul, we have once again combined the best of our efforts to publish the second—much
awaited—issue of RANA’s magazine. The overwhelming response we received for our first ever
issue last year is still fresh in our minds. Thank you so much for appreciating it and embracing
it with an open heart.
Our magazine was distributed not only in our community, our city and in our country, but
all over the world through different means and media! It was our proud privilege to present
it to Dr. Abdul Kalam, the former President of India, during his visit here in Canada. Our
magazine, the mirror of RANA Canada, was well received at the International Convention
last summer in New York, USA. It was also graciously presented to all the dignitaries, includ-ing
the Honourable Chief Minster of Rajasthan, Mr. Ashok Gehlot and his entire delegation
from Rajasthan. It has also reached out to almost all prominent leaders of Canada, including
the Honourable Prime Minister, Mr. Stephen Harper.
With the best wishes of all our well-wishers, we have once again put together our efforts to
bring out this issue consisting of some innovative contents while still protecting the original
flavour of Rajasthan. We can still enjoy the smell of our soil, become enchanted with its bright
colours, explore the mystic of Rajasthan, learn new facts and enjoy the taste of our traditional
food.
In this issue, as you will notice, we have tried to motivate our very young generation to par-ticipate
and engage themselves in RANA activities, as they are the ones who are going to carry
forward our tradition and rich culture in future.
As you will discover here, in the past year, RANA has reached new heights by leaps and
bound. It will not be wrong to say that RANA works towards a dream, with five D’s-
Direction, Dedication, Determination, Discipline and Deadlines- and turns that dream into a
reality each time!
I encourage our members take initiative and contribute towards this annual magazine, by way
of articles and advertisements. On behalf of my editorial team, I thank all the writers for their
contribution, which took much of their time and effort. I also thank all our advertisers from
the bottom of my heart for contributing so generously and helping us publish this magazine
without any financial restrictions. Not to forget, my sincere thanks to the ever-smiling team
of RG Digital Printing, who were always eager to accommodate our requests until the day of
printing. I hope you enjoy this issue just as much as you enjoyed the first one.

18. Nurturing Rajasthan
Taking a lead from RANA (USA) four years back, a few illustrious Indo-Canadians of Rajasthani origin, formed
RANA (Canada). RANA (Canada) was to be a driving force to promote, propagate and preserve the incredibly rich
Rajasthani culture, heritage, traditions and values and simultaneously instill these in the present and future generations
of Indo-Canadian-Rajasthanis.
RANA (Canada) is an incorporated not-for-profit organization in the Province of Ontario, providing a dedicated
platform to create a strong sense of community among Indo-Canadians of Rajasthani descent. It tirelessly augments
Canada’s strength and ability for embracing every culture in creating an inclusive dynamic, global society proud of its
various languages, histories, ancestries and cultures.
“The present has a responsibility towards the past and the future, it has to preserve the culture, heritage, and val-ues
of the past and pass it on to the future.”
This Eternal Pearl of Divine Wisdom spelled by Lord Shri Krishna as transcribed in Great Indian Epic Mahabharata
forms the central core of RANA’s Philosophy of Action and all its endeavors and efforts are inspired and driven with
this somber touch and sense.
With above axiom as its touch-stone, RANA (Canada) is vibrantly and dynamically moving forward towards its tryst
to meet its objectives under the visionary stewardship of its energetic and infectiously enthusiastic President Yogesh K.
Sharma along with dedicated team of Patrons, Directors, Conveners and Members.
The year of 2010 was full of activities, community service, entertainment, charities and networking events. The year
began with two events celebrating the Republic Day of India. RANA organized Republic Day celebrations at the Vedic
Culture Centre in Markham on January 23, 2010 in association with Patanjali Yogpeeth, Arya Samaj and Agarwals
Based in Canada. The event was very well attended and Rajendra Pahuja as well as Ravina Maheshwari did a com-mendable
job as event coordinators. Our youth and ladies also performed at the Pearson Convention Centre during
India’s Republic Day Celebrations organized by Panorama India on January 31, 2010.
Holi, the festival of colours organized by Dharam Jain and Mahesh Gupta at the Hindu Sabha Temple on February
28, 2010 filled all RANA members with pride as more than 1,100 community members joined RANA families in the
celebrations while visiting the Temple. The basement of the Temple was covered in Holi colours, complimented by
Thandai (a typical Rajasthani drink) and lunch.
How could our ladies forget the colourful melas (fare) of Gangaur and Teej? Taruna Poddar and Gauri Goel not only
sponsored, but also organized an event at the Hindu Heritage Centre in Mississauga, which will always be remembered
for the authentic creation of Gangaur Puja and celebration by ladies of RANA on March 27, 2010. In its endeavour to
join mainstream activities, RANA organized community service events at Scott Mission in downtown Toronto on May
16 and October 2, 2010. This mainstream community service activity has now become a permanent feature in RANA’s
annual calendar. Nidhi Jethoo, vice-president of community services deserves all the credit for organizing this commu-nity
service event.
The most anticipating event of the year, the Rajasthan International Convention was organized by RANA (USA) and
held from July 2 to July 5, 2010 in Long Island, New York. We made a great impact at this convention with nearly
100 attendees representing RANA (Canada). The cultural performances by our youth received the maximum applause
at the convention. It was definitely an outstanding performance by Maneesha Gupta, Shreya Tekriwal, Manogya Tekri-wal,
Anant Vijay, Apaar Vijay, Harsh Heda and Yash Heda. Ashok Gehlot, Chief Minister of Rajasthan was so im-pressed
by participation of Canadian delegates at this convention that he suggested the possibility of holding the next
convention in Canada should be fully explored. The CM of Rajasthan was very kind to agree for an exclusive meeting
with our Board.
RANA’s Choorma Dal Baati Picnic organized by Dilip Sharma and Usha Shah was held at the Kelso Conservation
19. Area on July 18, 2010. Exceeding expectations of all, more than 350 members and their guests relished the typical
Rajasthani cuisine, which was served in a traditional manner (in thalis). We are still receiving messages from our friends,
who missed this picnic that we should not forget to invite them to the picnic in 2011.
Panorama India in association with Consul General of India organized the India Day Parade at Yonge/Dundas Square
on August 14, 2010 and RANA (Canada) was one of the major participants at the event. Our float depicting Mira Bai
was very well appreciated. Akanksha Paliwal (Mira Bai) was photographed by almost all the Torontonians watching the
parade. The cultural performances of Ekta Mantri, Shalini Vyas, Manogya Tekriwal and Maneesha Gupta made such an
impact on leaders of other community organizations that we now receive numerous requests for performances of our
youth at various events being organized in the GTA. RANA (Canada) also participated at India’s Independence Day
celebration in Markham on August 15, 2010 and our youth team once again stole the show by their performances.
Our joint secretary Anu Jain organized a Welcome Night for our new members on September 25, 2010 at the RANA
office. New members are the lifeline of any organization and we took this opportunity to appreciate their membership
and involvement in our RANA community. It was a great evening full of poetry, jokes, ideas and assurance of RANA’s
bright future along with a delicious dinner.
Rajasthan Foundation Night was held on October 9, 2010 at the Versailles Convention Centre in Mississauga. A night
showcasing Canada’s diversity through performances with Mrs. Preeti Saran, the Consul General of India, as our chief
guest at our maiden effort for organizing a fundraiser will always be remembered as an evening which was full of en-tertainment.
Rajni Tekriwal, vice-president of fundraising did a tremendous job—congratulations to full team of Rajni
Tekriwal. The performances which were all professional and very entertaining, drew applause time and again from the
entire audience, including our chief guest and other dignitaries which included Pankaj Mehra of Scotiabank and Sunil
Tondon of State Bank of India.
Diwali, the festival of lights was held on November 13, 2010 at Sagan Banquet Hall. What Prerna Khandelwal,
Anamika Vaish and their team did to present Ramleela cannot be described in words! A gathering of more than 500 sat
mesmerized during the whole performance. Sujata Deengar, a friend of RANA’s, by virtue of her contribution as writer
and director of Ramleela qualifies to be a member of RANA. The performance of each and everyone participating in
Ramleela was simply outstanding. Those who sat spell-bound included Provincial Leader of Opposition Tim Hudak,
Parliamentary Secretary to Foreign Minister Deepak Obhrai, Ruby Dhalla MP, Amrit Mangat MPP and HOC Ms D.
Charandasi. The curtains of Ramleela closed the curtain of our activities o for the year 2010.
Year 2011 began with the celebration of India’s Republic Day at the Vedic Culture Centre on January 30, 2011. This
year, Sanatan Mandir joined the team of organizers of RANA Canada, Patanjali Yogpeeth, ABC and Arya Samaj. RANA
also participated in Republic Day celebration organized by Panorama India at the Pearson Convention Centre on Janu-ary
29, 2011.
Our director Pinki Jajoo, who is also the chair of the Indian association in St. John’s, Newfoundland organized Republic
Day Celebration in the city, which was attended by Mayor.
Our children - our future were painting to prove that RANA and Canada’s future is very bright and colourful. The
creativity and imagination reflected in the paintings at children’s painting competition organized at RANA office on
February 5, 2011was well appreciated. Honourable Julian Fantino gave away the prizes to winners and all participants
as our chief guest.
Holi 2011 was organized at the Bharat Mata Mandir. The coordinators of the event Jayshree Vyas and Saran Ghai made
it an event which will always be remembered for rustic music and dance with which Holi is traditionally celebrated
in Rajasthan. Ruby Dhalla MP, Kuldip Kullar MPP and Priti Lamba PC candidate for MP could not escape from the
colours of Holi.
We were back at Scott Mission to serve homeless on May 7, 2011. Since its inception, RANA (Canada) has worked
tirelessly towards achieving its missions and to crystallizing its ever-expanding vision…there is more to come…more to
achieve… and more to nurture.

30. Great souls are born for a special purpose in life. It is a purpose understood by few
but a purpose that benefits all of humanity. This is the story of one such Brahmgyani.
Vishva Sant Brahmrishi Guruvanand Swamiji, “Guruji’s” spiritual journey started
under the guidance of Sri 1008 Yogiraj Digamber Devraha Baba and Sajidanand
Chakshu Maharaj when at the age of just nine months both of Guruji’s kidneys failed
to function. When Doctors had given up hope, Guruji’s Pujniya parents took him to the sacred Baba
Baidyanath Dham temple and there they sought blessings from God for their ailing son.
God answered their prayers when they came across the holy Devrah Baba. The distressed parents
placed their son in Baba’s feet and asked for his blessings. Baba said he could heal the child but they
would have to gift their son to religion. With a heavy heart the parents agreed.
Till the age of 12, Guruji was unable to speak. One night while he was sleeping Guruji saw a ray
of white light and three devi matas in his sleep. Startled, Guruji screamed ‘BABA’. That is when his first
word came out and he got his voice. Miraculously, even though those were his first words, Guruji could
fully recite all four Vedas from that moment itself.
Guruji’s Kundalinis are jagrit, a practice mastered by few. Guruji has obtained all the highest
forms of sidhis and sadhanas. He is able to separate himself into the five elements that we are made up of
and therefore be present at five different places at the same exact time. His rigorous sadhana has helped
him attain the highest degree of Cosmic Energy and spirituality. Guruji has healed many people in physi-cal,
mental and spiritual distress through his abundant cosmic energy. Devotees have experienced Guruji’s
divinity in many forms.
Guruji is a renowned spiritual leader, philosopher, and humanitarian. He teaches and believes in
the preaching of Swami Vivekananada and Lord Mahavir. Guruji is highly versed and knowledgeable in
many religions. He has given discourses all over the world in various religious and spiritual institutions
such as Mandirs, Gurudwaras, churches, and Mosques. Guruji’s knowledge on all religions has made him
extremely popular amongst his diverse group of followers. Hundreds of thousands of people have
changed their life styles to a more righteous one as a result of Guruji’s practical teachings. People all
over the world revere him for his humility and divine aura. He has traveled to and spread his message of
awareness, tolerance, service to humanity and unity to over 160 countries. Guruji’s teachings of serving
humanity have become a leading movement amongst his devotees all over the world. His eloquent and
powerful oration is a source of inspiration to millions of people across the globe.
Guruji has obtained academic degrees from prestigious institutions. He mastered the science of
astrology to better understand every aspect of life so that he could help his devotees in totality. His
knowledge is without boundaries. His wisdom is limitless. His aura is omnipresent as you begin to realize
he is truly a remarkable, exceptional soul.

Words of Wisdom
Compiled by Shobha Jain
1] Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the
right path throughout
2] Do you know why a Car’s WINDSHIELD is so large the rear view mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not
as important as our FUTURE. Look Ahead and Move on.
3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.
4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, they
can’t last long either.
5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don’t forget the Gold! Because to hold a
Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!
6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, “Relax, sweetheart, it’s just a
bend, not the end!
7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn’t solve your problems HE
has faith in your abilities.
8] A blind person asked Swami Vivekanand: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes,
losing your vision!”
9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, when you are safe and happy, remember that
someone has prayed for you.
10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrows’ TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.

64. Seven Big Time Business Deal Bungles
Compiled by: Yatendra Shah
IBM’s (r)ejection of Bill Gates’ “Windows” is not the only bungle that will go down in the black pages of Corporate
history. There are some more (not so popular) business screw ups. Here are a few. Read on:
Alitalia - Toronto to Cyprus: Business Class @ $39
Alitalia Airlines is a carrier out of Italy that made a slight mistake on its website in 2006 regarding a fare from Toronto
to Cyprus. The fare advertised was $39 – in Business class! It was supposed to be $3,900. The rate was posted on a
travel website and the rush was on. As many as 2,000 tickets were sold for this price. While Alitalia initially tried to
cancel all the tickets purchased for the wrong price, they eventually decided to honor the mistaken fares. If all 2,000
people actually used their tickets, it adds up to a $7.72 million loss to the airline.
Beatles turned down by Decca Records
Mike Smith and Dick Rowe were the executives in charge of evaluating new talent for the London Office of Decca
Records. On December 13, 1961, Mike Smith traveled to Liverpool to watch a local rock ‘n’ roll band perform. He
decided they had talent, and invited them to audition on New Year’s Day 1962. The group made the trip to London
and spent two hours playing 15 different songs at the Decca studios. Then they went home and waited for an answer.
They waited for weeks. Finally, Rowe told the band’s manager that the label wasn’t interested, because they sounded
too much like a popular group called The Shadows. In one of the most famous of all rejection lines, he said: “Not
to mince words, Mr. Epstein, but we don’t like your boys’ sound. Groups are out; four-piece groups with guitars
particularly are finished.”
The group was The Beatles, of course. They eventually signed with EMI Records, started a trend back to guitar bands,
and ultimately became the most popular band of all time. Ironically, “within two years, EMI’s production facilities
became so stretched that Decca helped them out in a reciprocal arrangement, to cope with the unprecedented demand
for Beatles records”
Ford: $350 Million Edsel fiasco
In the mid-1950s, Ford, flush from its exceptionally successful Thunderbird, wanted to create a new model to compete
head-to-head with General Motors’ Oldsmobile. (The Ford Lincoln had served that purpose, but it was getting a
makeover to go against GM’s higher-end Cadillac.) Ford’s solution: the Edsel, named after the son of founder Henry
Ford. Despite all the hype — including a television special called “The Edsel Show” — the Edsel proved to be one of
the biggest bungles ever in the auto industry. Ford whiffed on three fronts: style (the car looked too much like other
Ford models), size (too large, given the growing trend toward compact cars), and price (initially intended to be priced
between a Lincoln and the lower-tier Mercury, the Edsel actually fell within Mercury’s price point, and thus confused
consumers). Ford sank $350 million (in 1950s dollars) into the Edsel before calling it quits; production of the model
ceased Nov. 19, 1959.
Manhattan sold for $24 by Canarsee natives to Dutch
The Canarsee natives took a wise decision in 1626: they traded for trinkets a now rather stylish plot: Manhattan (then
called New Amsterdam). Legend states that the Carnarsee sold Manhattan to the Dutch Governor Peter Minuit for
60 Guilders ($24) worth of beads and trinkets. The island fondly dubbed “the center of the universe” by many New
Yorkers is now worth a cool $1 trillion.
Sixty guilders in 1626 had the approximate value of $1000 in 2006, according to the Institute for Social History of
Amsterdam.
65. A contemporary purchase of rights in nearby Staten Island, to which Minuit was also party, involved duffel cloth, iron
kettles and axe heads, hoes etc.
ABC TV rejects The Cosby Show
In 1984, Bill Cosby gave ABC-TV a first shot at buying a sitcom he had created – and would star in – about an
upscale black family. But ABC turned him down, apparently “believing the show lacked bite and that viewers
wouldn’t watch an unrealistic portrayal of blacks as wealthy, well-educated professionals.” So Cosby sold his show to
NBC instead. What happened? Nothing much – The Cosby Show remained #1 show for four straight years, was a
rating winner throughout its eight-year run, lifted NBC from its 10-year status as a last-place network to first place,
resurrected TV comedy, and became the most profitable series ever broadcast.
New Coke fiasco
New Coke was the unofficial name of the sweeter formulation introduced in 1985 by The Coca-Cola Company to
replace its flagship soft drink, Coca-Cola. It had no separate name of its own, but was simply the new version of Coke,
until 1992 when it was renamed Coca-Cola II. Public reaction to the change was devastating, and the new cola quickly
entered the pantheon of major marketing flops. Company headquarters in Atlanta started receiving letters expressing
anger or deep disappointment. Over 400,000 calls and letters were received by the company. A psychiatrist Coke hired
to listen in on phone calls to the company hotline, 1-800-GET-COKE, told executives some people sounded as if they
were discussing the death of a family member.
Consumers were too attached to their brand of cola which hadn’t been changed since 1903 when the cocaine was
taken out. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke’s original formula led to a significant gain in sale
Small ATT glitch – 75 Million lost phone calls
In 1990, 75 million phone calls across the US went unanswered after a single switch at one of ATT’s 114 switching
centres suffered a minor mechanical problem, which shut down the centre. Normally, ATT’s long-distance network
was a model of reliability and strength. On any given day, ATT’s long-distance service, which at the time carried
over 70% of the nation’s long-distance traffic, route over 115 million telephone calls.
The culprit turned out to be an error in a single line of code -- not hackers, as some claimed at the time -- that had
been added during a highly complex software upgrade. American Airlines alone estimated this small error cost it
200,000 reservations.

68. Forts of Rajasthan
Compiled by Dr.Renuka Ravi
Jaisalmer Fort
Built in 1156 by King Rawal Jaisal, Jaisalmer Fort dominates the countryside in the far northwestern corner of Rajasthan,
near the border of India and Pakistan. The magnificent complex, also known as Sonar Kila (Golden Fort) for its gleaming
golden sandstone walls and buildings, flourished on the east–west caravan route connecting India and Central Asia to
the Middle East and North Africa. Merchants built elaborately designed Havelis among the numerous palaces, temples,
bazaars, and residences inside the walls of the complex. The superb architecture within the fort was protected by double
fortification walls and circular bastions, key physical components used for defense and battle. Additional features of the
fort include a pitching wall to hold the clay soil of the hill in place, a toe wall, and the Mori, a pathway between the inner
and outer fortification walls that allowed soldiers and horses to move throughout the structure in times of war.
About a quarter of city’s population live in the fort of Rajasthan. At one point of time the entire population of Jaisalmer
of Rajasthan used to live within the fort.
Major Attractions at the Jaisalmer Fort:
• Raj Mahal (Royal palace).
• Jain temples.
• Laxminath temple.
• 4 massive gateways.
• Merchant Havelis
The perfect time to visit the golden city is during the Desert Festival of Rajasthan held in January - February every year,
when the city reverberates to the sound of melodious tunes and rhythms, folk dances, exciting competitions and contests.
Chittorgarh Fort
Chittorgarh Fort is the largest fort in India and the grandest in the state of Rajasthan. The fort, plainly known as Chittor,
was the capital of Mewar and is today situated several kilometres by road south of Bhilwara. It was ruled initially by and
later by Sisodias, the Suryavanshi clans of Chattari Rajputs, from 7th century, until it was finally abandoned in 1568
after the siege by Emperor Akbar in 1567. It sprawls majestically over a hill 180 m (590.6 ft) in height spread over an
area of 280 ha (691.9 acres) above the plains of the valley drained by the Berach River. The fort precinct with an evocative
history is studded with a series of historical palaces, gates, temples and two prominent commemoration towers. These
monumental ruins have inspired the imagination of tourists and writers for centuries.
The fort was sacked three times between 15th and 16th centuries; in 1303 Allauddin Khilji defeated Rana Ratan Singh,
in 1535 Bahadur Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat defeated Bikramjeet Singh and in 1567 Emperor Akbar defeated Maharana
69. Udai Singh II who left the fort and founded Udaipur. Each time the men fought bravely rushing out of the fort walls
charging the enemy but lost every time. Following these defeats, Jauhar was committed thrice by more than 13,000 la-dies
and children of the Rajput heroes who laid their lives in battles at Chittorgarh Fort, first lead by Rani Padmini wife
of Rana Rattan Singh who was killed in the battle in 1303, and later by Rani Karnavati in 1537 AD.
Thus, the fort represents the quintessence of tribute to the nationalism, courage, medieval chivalry and sacrifice exhibited
by the Mewar rulers of Sisodia and their kinsmen, women and children, between the 7th century and 16th century.
Opportunity Knocks Only Once!
A young man wished to marry the farmer’s beautiful daughter. He went to the farmer to ask his permission.
The farmer looked him over and said,
“Son, go stand out in that field. I›m going to release three bulls, one at a time. If you can catch the tail of
any one of the three bulls, you can marry my daughter.”
The young man stood in the pasture awaiting the first bull.
The barn door opened and out ran the biggest, meanest-looking bull he had ever seen.
He decided that one of the next bulls had to be a better choice than this one, so he ran
over to the side and let the bull pass through the pasture out the back gate.
The barn door opened again. Unbelievable. He had never seen anything so big and fierce
in his life. It stood pawing the ground, grunting, slinging slobber as it eyed him.
Whatever the next bull was like, it had to be a better choice than this one.
He ran to the fence and let the bull pass through the pasture, out the back gate.
The door opened a third time. A smile came across his face. This was the weakest,
scrawniest little bull he had ever seen. This one was his bull. As the bull came running by,
he positioned himself just right and jumped at just the exact moment.
He grabbed... but the bull had no tail!
Life is full of opportunities. Some will be easy to take advantage of,
some will be difficult. But once we let them pass (often in hopes of something better),
those opportunities may never again be available.
So always grab the first opportunity.

Dear Fellow Readers,
Namaste, I’m 11 years old Sonia Sharma and I’m
going to tell you about some of the amazing things
I know about our incredible India! Before I begin,
I would just like to ask a simple question. Have
you ever been to India? If you haven’t, you might
as well start packing your bags after you’ve heard
what I’ve like to say. Let’s start with one of my
most memorable memories. When I was about 5
years old, my family and I went to India. I was just
sitting in the car with some of my older cousins
eating a banana. All of the sudden, a monkey swept
down, jumped through the window, and took
the banana right out of my hands! I had a lot of
explaining to do that day!
Anyway, let’s head towards our next topic. Tourist
Attractions. India has many tourist attractions,
including the Taj Mahal, temples, and rivers. I
think that I am very lucky because I was able to see many of India’s amazing tourist attractions. I have seen the Taj
Mahal, Ganga River, Vrindavan and more! I have also been to many of India’s states, and territories. More than I can
count! Some of the states that I have visited the most include New Delhi, Haridwar and Jaipur. India has 28 states,
and 7 territories.
Our next topic is interesting facts. India has many interesting facts which some you might know, and some you might
not. So let’s begin. Did you know that India contains 16% of the world’s population? Or that it contains 24% of the
world’s land? India is in the continent Asia, and the capital is New Delhi. India is the 7th largest country in area. India
also has the most popular democracy. India has a lot of wild life and protected habitats. The population is 1.15 billion.
Now for the topic we’ve all been waiting for. Food! From all what I know, Indian food is just amazing. In such a way
that I can’t describe. In fact, India is known for its many spices and fabulous food. Because both my parents are from
India, my taste buds get to visit India all the time! Just through the food. Some of my favourite Indian foods are
Rajma, Butter Chicken, Aloo Parantha and Gol Gappe. My favourite sweets are Halwa, Gulab Jamun, Jalebi and Soan
Papdi.
India is the world’s second largest producer of food. Sadly, our time ends here, but I do hope that everyone enjoyed
reading this as much as I did writing it. Before I go, I would just like to say, next time you visit India, make sure your
banana stays in your hands!
Sincerely,
Sonia Sharma

Why Fish Live In Water
By Abhishek Jain
Once upon a time in the great jungle of Siradan, created by the god Zeus lived his most cared animals. The leader of
the cheetahs was Neelberg. The leader of the giraffes was Gerry. The leader for the hippos was Hilda. The leader of the
zebra’s was Zelda. The leader for the fish was Frenzy.
The fish looked so different that time. They had no fins and they stood up like humans do. They were a lot bigger that
time and were able to talk. Their face was just like how it is today but it was round.
At first every one lived happily in the jungle without any problems but soon enough, the jungle of Siradan soon be-came
over populated with so many animals. The problem was that the bigger animals were scaring the small animals.
Now, the fish clan got very scared about this since they were the weakest one of them all. So they had their clan meet-ing
where they discussed about the issue.
At the meeting Frenzy said, “People of the fish clan, there is no need to worry because we will go to war!”
“But this is only until we feel we can survive. “If we can’t then we will have to talk to god Zeus,” he said.
The war had started and was getting big. The giraffes and cheetahs had actually teamed up to defeat the other clans so
they could keep all of the land to themselves. When the zebras, hippos and fish clan came to know about this they de-cided
to team up to.
The next morning they attacked each other! The war lasted till evening with the cheetahs and giraffes winning. Frenzy
had figured out that there was no chance of surviving. He knew he had to talk to Zeus about this matter.
“O great God help us, our whole generations are in danger,” pleaded Frenzy.
“Tell me the problem, Frenzy,” Zeus said.
“Well, the problem is in the jungle of Siradan. A war has broken out and our clan is in danger.” Frenzy told Zeus sadly.
“We need a new place to live.”
Zeus thought for a minute and being the nice god he is, he told them about the lake of Sinocon located behind the
beautiful mountains of Salvation. Frenzy thought for a second and talked to the other fish that came with him.
“Yes, what you are saying is correct but I have a concern,” Frenzy said.
“What is it Frenzy?” Tell me,” asked Zeus rubbing through his beard.
“Lord, how will we breathe in the water? We are land animals and for us living in the water is impossible,” Frenzy
questioned.
“Don’t worry Frenzy, everything is under control,” Zeus said. “I will give you fish the power to breath underwater!”
“But, you will not be able to breathe on land, actually you will never be able to come on land,” said Zeus pointing at
them.
That really disappointed them but now they had no other choice but to do what Zeus had said.
“For you to breathe in water I will give you fins,” he explained. “They will let you breathe in the water.”
God gave them the fins and they went to the lake of Sinocon. They lived happily ever after there, even though they
might have missed land.
