I want all people to employ tenets of Ayurveda in everyday life as it is the science of life ‘ayus’, meaning ‘life’ and ‘Veda, meaning science, ” Guru Manish further said.

This however needs to be done by consulting a qualified Ayurveda practitioner and expert.” Opt for the Ayurveda way of life to attain freedom from diseases.

Prior to the pandemic, India has made a gradual transition to digital instruments. After demonetization, the education sector began to use elements of online education, the health sector began to investigate telemedicine and IVR systems, financial institutions began to use online banking, local stores began to accept cashless transactions, and instant messaging and social media platforms had already become popular avenues for mass messaging.

However, it is clear that the vast majority of Indian citizens lack digital literacy, and for those that do, online safety is a bizarre concept. Language and accessibility difficulties, as well as a lack of data and infrastructure, exacerbate the situation. Social obstacles and systemic inequity play a crucial role in this – even today, people in rural India own far fewer smartphones than people living in cities.

Rahul Rathi, a 19-year-old boy from a tiny village in Rajasthan’s Jodhpur district, has outperformed his IT expertise to serve humanity. He’s become a digital resource for the thousands of people surrounding him, as well as officials from several government departments in his home area, to help them navigate the ever-evolving digital ecosystem of e-governance.

He assists all government schools in his neighborhood in maintaining and managing Shala Darpan, a dynamic database management platform that keeps information about all government schools and education offices online and updated on a regular basis. Furthermore, he provides free assistance to rural school students in filling out registration forms for board examinations.

Rahul Rathi says, “After discovering that the dropout rate in government schools is significantly higher than the enrolment rate, I frequently travel to villages throughout Rajasthan to educate and encourage parents and kids about the importance of education. I assist them with the board exam registration procedure and provide all digital assistance, which is still a foreign idea to many of them.”

Even during the Corona pandemic, Rahul devoted his courage and virtue to the service of humanity by assisting thousands of poor people in self-registering at the Co-Win portal and assisting them in securing access to hospitals.

“I’ve seen individuals, particularly villages, struggle in the digital space, with little or no knowledge of smartphones, government portals, and so on… I’m only 19 years old, but I have competence with IT solutions, so I figured I could assist them in navigating the online world’s complexities. During the pandemic, I helped thousands of villagers. It wasn’t a miracle, but while helping them in saving their lives through the digital media, I realized that with my set of skills, I can assist millions of individuals who still lack digital literacy.” He adds.

Furthermore, Rahul has access to a Facebook-approved portal through which he may resolve any social media-related issues such as account hacking, data piracy, or any other legal issue that may harm users. He offers free social media services to the general public as well as several well-known politicians of Rajasthan.

Furthermore, Rahul is a web designer and app developer who has designed multiple websites for various social organizations. To make ends meet, Rahul works as an IT professional for a number of prominent politicians and also serves as their political advisor.

Communities in rural places frequently require young people like Rahul Rathi to deploy and supplement digital tools for good because digital services are not universally disseminated.

The COVID-19 pandemic showed everyone’s true colours. Many who were supposed to be the helpers of the society and had promised their lifelong dedication to the nation were nowhere to be found when the second wave raged on. But amidst all the rubble lie countless stories of the commoner doing his best and beyond to fight COVID. To save not only himself or his family, but all of us. Ordinary citizens gave extraordinary efforts, and now that things have calmed down a little, we can acknowledge their stories and struggles.

Venu Madhav Chennupati, an epidemiologist, runs a Healthcare IT firm in Hyderabad and KR Satish, a social activist, is the founder of Brilliant School in Hyderabad.

When the second wave of COVID-19 was raging across the country, Chennupati and Satish joined hands to drive forward the conversation about vaccines. They brought to light the vaccine shortage and the distribution process of the vaccine. And discussed at length how vaccinations should be prioritised by exposure and not by age groups.

Chennupati trained at Harvard University to become an epidemiologist. Through his analysis of the pandemic in the country, he deduced that the population-based distribution of vaccines was not an effective strategy in controlling the spread of COVID-19.

The R0 ( pronounced “R Naught”) is the reproduction number and is a mathematical term that indicates how contagious a disease is. The expected number of cases is directly generated by one case in a population where all individuals are susceptible to infection.

In Telangana, the R0 jumped from 1.47 on April 29 to 1.55 on May 1.

Chennupati suggested in one of his writings that to tackle the spread of coronavirus and bring the R0 down,  the government needs to implement a new model. Due to the economic slowdown, state governments were hesitant about a lockdown; hence according to Chennupati’s expertise, he suggests that the Indian governments should vaccinate the front-line economy workers first and control the spread instead of vaccinating by age demographics.

On the other hand, KR Satish’s years of experience as a social activist gave him great insight into grassroots problems.

Satish quickly grasped the practical problems posed by the vaccine shortage and coronavirus infection spread rate. He felt that those who deal with customers directly, i.e. delivery persons, bank staff, street vendors, and shop owners, are more susceptible and more likely to contract the coronavirus and spread infection. Not only were they coming in contact with many people daily, but if they fell sick, they could infect many people in a day. Hence, he suggested that the government re-prioritize vaccinations by people with more social exposure, not by age.

Chennupati and Satish undertook steps to reach the Ministry of health at the Union and state levels, but their concerns were left unheard.

After their communication efforts returned fruitlessly, they filed a first-of-its-kind petition demanding vaccinations for frontline economic workers (PIL in Telangana High court (WP(PIL)SR 16115/2021).

This PIL emphasised the need for vaccinating this demographic so the economy can run smoothly and resistance against the pandemic can be built.

After the petition was filed, the Telangana High court sent notices and summoned the State government for an instant reply. Interestingly, the state government did not answer the Telangana High Court but did implement the model suggested by Chennupati and Satish.

This model helped control the spreading rate of the R0 and made it easier to handle. Telangana is the only state in India where all super spreaders are vaccinated.

When we closely look around ourselves and realize the spectacular growth of industries and fields, we often wonder the reasons behind its exponential rise. Of course, there are several factors that lead industries to success, but no one can deny the resilience, hard work, and passion that youngsters showcase to turn industries into extraordinary success stories. These individuals show what it really takes to become the best in a niche and how people can go ahead in attaining the excellence they seek. Doing exactly that and spellbinding people with his innate skills and talents as a creative soul is Ashwin Golani. This young man radiates different brilliance when it comes to the entertainment and media niche and proves his prowess even as a 20-year-old.

Who is Ashwin Golani, you ask? Well, this youngster hails from Palanpur, Gujarat, and from the very beginning, doing something different, where he could learn more, evolve as a professional, and provide value to people was something he worked around more. This led him into the entertainment world, where he started working as a producer and today has proved his mettle as a young professional.

Ashwin Golani was born in 2001, and little did he know as a youngster that life would present him with opportunities where he could create a flourishing career for himself at such a young age. However, things worked his way because he never took them for granted and made every possible effort to create his career as a producer in the industry. The much-loved song “Kuch Door” from the album “Business Only” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4feB60Pf_oE), sung by MiLLie & Manraj Veer, was co-produced by him.

Producing or backing projects that show great promise has now become a way of life for Ashwin Golani, whose taste in music and his creative skills and abilities as a producer or co-producer have also brought him to the industry’s forefront.

Ashwin Golani is only going onwards and upwards in his career and inspiring many other youngsters through his journey. To know more, follow him on Instagram @ashwingolani_

Aishwarya Majmudar who is known for her songs like Aaj Unse Kehna hai, Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram Leela’s background score female vocals and many more hits in the Gujarati music industry is back to entertain her fans with her latest track Prem Rang Maniyaaro.

The song which Aishwarya calls was completely unplanned has a very interesting story behind it. The tune for the song suddenly struck into Aishwarya’s head one night while she was trying to sleep. Unknowingly the singer spent the next two hours working on the lyrics and composition. That’s how Prem Rang Maniyaaro was made!
Right from getting the tunes right, writing the lyrics, composing and singing the entire song Aishwarya has pulled off the entire song on her own. The singer has not only featured in the song along with actor Devarshi Shah but has also shown off her dancing skills in the song. Pulling off the entire song on her own shoulders makes her a perfect example of being a one woman army!https://bit.ly/PremRangManiyaaro

Talking more about the entire experience and process, Aishwarya said, “To be honest I don’t know where the inspiration for this song came from, why this song but it just happened as effortlessly like a wave that I don’t have too much to say about it but a lot to feel about it. The song is more of an emotion. It’s less about me having played a role in creating each and every aspect of the song and more about how every aspect of the song came to me easily for a reason. We go through a lot in life and sometimes some days let you to define that moment as a new inning.

Aishwarya who has been singing from the last 25 years feel her second half of the journey has just begun. “Even though I’ve been singing for 25 years now and my second quarter of the years in singing have begun it’s just going to be just as sunshiny as I want. Maybe it’s a typical one but it’s true, ‘Jab kisi cheez ko puri shiddat se chaho toh saari kaynaat aapki madat karne lagti hai’ you get a new motivation every single day and I think that’s what worked with Prem Rang Maniyaaro. It’s not the first time I’m doing all this, it’s just that I’ve never done all of it at once for a particular song before. So it’s a first of first! I’m glad I have a team that helps me dream and fulfil them. I hope people appreciate the song. It’s simple, straight forward and it connects with all the stages and ages of lives.”

We’ve often seen our mothers go out of their way to get everything in order. Whether it’s making a cup of tea while feeding the baby, cleaning the house while taking a work call, or spending the entire weekend to make her family’s favourite food but forgets about her likes is the basic essence of a woman. Balancing work with family life is no piece of cake but someone they’ve managed it and excelling it with perfection. 

Social media influencer Roopal Shah is one among them who has made married life, balancing work with a relationship, family commitments with a hectic work schedule look so easy. Roopal has been winning the web world with her on-fleek fashion choices, and her pictures are all things pretty. She also leads a hectic personal life of wanting to spend quality time with her family. 

“It’s all about the timing. Initially, I found it very hard to strike that balance and everything was spilling everywhere. But now, I’ve come to realise that I make a timeline and stick to it. I love to spend time with my family, so I have alloted fixed hours to my personal life as well as professional life,” says Roopal.

But things change when you become a mother. Balancing things becomes twice as hard but Roopal goes by the philosophy that enjoys every phase of life and things will sort themselves out. 

“I love doing what I do. But after marriage, your priorities and responsibilities change. To strike the perfect balance, it is most important for your family to understand and support you. And thankfully, I am blessed. My family is indeed my best friends who help me with my shoots.” Besides giving some cues about maintaining work-life balance, Roopal Shah’s work ethos has inspired many working women to achieve sustainability in life.
