As deadly Corona virus had began  spreading its tentacles in the world, a contingent of doctors and nurses from  the Communist Island country Cuba were the first international Corona warriors team  to embark upon the worst affected Italy in March. 

Cuba has sent its teams in many Latin American, Caribbean nations and African countries to help people fight against Corona Virus. 

Cuba is a center of attraction for its tradition of offering medical expertise in the service of mankind. Over the years, Cuban Medical teams have helped a large number of countries in natural calamities such as hurricanes, earthquakes and epidemics. The tradition of sending Cuban medical team to different parts of the world in emergency situations can be traced from early 60s  when the country sent its contingent  to Chile after an earthquake.

In the last fifty years tens of hundred  thousands  of medicos were sent as a team to help other countries.    Fidel Castro would always say that America sends her army for war but Cuba sends its Doctors to help in crisis. 

Cuba is one of the best countries in providing free health care with enormous  funding in  medical research. They believe that free health care of public is most important factor of human rights. Cuba has one of the highest doctor to patient ratio of around 2.7 per 1000 people.  They have a huge and very advanced Latin American Institute of Medical Sciences with students from world over specially from NAM  and other third world countries. Years of allocation of heavy funding research and biotechnology   has helped in creating good infrastructure for free health and a huge team of medicos paramedics to help the world in need.    

As expected this angered US who  again threatened the Countries not to accept medical help from Cuba. US  described Cuban Medical teams as human trafficking mission.  There had been profound ideological and real war like differences between Communist Cuba and Capitalist America separated by a distance of 90 miles only since mid 50s. The world was at the blink of third world war when US under John Kennedy and USSR under Nikita Khrushchev were at the verge of taking on each other.   US has imposed a trade embargo on Cuba for decades. US is putting different forms of curbs on Cuba from time to time. Cubans say U S agencies attempted hundred times to eliminate grand old man Fidel over the years but failed. He was the most loved and respected figure of Island  who left his indelible mark on the debris of times in the world history.  

The differences were prominently witnessed by us when we stayed for a week in beautiful Cuban Capital Havana for the NAM summit in 2006. Decades’ old hostility was so obvious that Cubans raised hundreds of tall pillars with big black flags to hide the façade of American Embassy from public view!!!

Despite such political hate Americans like expensive Havana Cigars and Cubans like Earnest Hemingway. Nobel Laureate American novelist Hemingway would love to stay in Havana frequently for longer periods to accomplish his writings. He loved Cuban cocktails Mojito and Daiquiri in a restaurant called El Floridita in evening over drinks to meet his friends, mostly women. 

The city Havana has real fascinating charms despite American embargo. Old model Russian and American cars made in the forties, fifties and  sixties  still running in the  with streets which are  full of life. At every street corner one can find musicians and singers with mellifluous Spanish songs on their lips. Most of the Cubans are happy with their ordinary way of life with least requirements amid long time restrictions of communist regime. They are happy in their small world with their Cuban drinks and food. 

However, there are many in young generation who have aspirations to enjoy the new world class facilities and atmosphere. Over the years big chunks of population flee the country in search of new pastures. The people of Cuba do not suffer from status or color racial taboos. Our non-white driver took us to his home where his beautiful wife served us a great dinner. She was a medical doctor. The climate of Havana is humid. People are habitual of spending their afternoons on sea shore and beaches. Most of the Cubans have respect for their mother country Spain as they are of Spanish origins and speak Spanish.     

The legendary old man of Havana world figure Fidel Castro had retired as head of the country and reins of state had come in hands of his younger brother Raul Castro. Fidel who had just recovered from a long illness was meeting heads of the nations attending NAM Summit. The meeting with Indian Prime Minister Dr Man Mohan Singh was slotted much late. As Indian diplomats were trying hard to arrange a meeting, a whisper went around that Fidel was reluctant to meet because he considered Indian Prime Minister as pro-American. Fidel loved, liked and respected Indira Gandhi for her rigid and strong anti America stances. In the 1981 NAM summit while giving charge to India, his hug to Mrs. Gandhi became widely splashed photograph. I was part of AIR’s NAM coverage team then and saw the moment closely.

Finally, Fidel met Dr Singh around midnight during the summit. Dr Manmohan Singh was waiting. A few moments later frail grand old man Castro entered and hugged Manmohan Singh. During chats Fidel asked him “I wonder how you feed your one billion people!” Economist Dr Singh suitably replied “Excellency now we grow enough to feed one more billion people “. Hearing this, a blissful Fidel pulled Dr Singh close to him and told photographers “ Take a good photo of both of us and show to your one billion people that I am together with your Prime Minister “.

Despite his fragile health and growing age comrade Fidel Castro till a few months before his death regularly wrote his observations on the world scenario vis-a-vis United States! He was a great revolutionary but a stubborn dictator too. Despite American rigorous sanctions Cuba survived creating a free excellent medical and education system. Cuba also prepared a large contingent of medical experts for helping the different countries during wars and natural calamities.  Oldies were his followers who were happy with non luxury lives but not youngsters like my interpreter Anabel who is now in Canada. They too have aspirations like others in world.

We also saw house of  José Julián Martí Pérez who was a Cuban poet, philosopher, essayist, journalist, translator, professor, and publisher, who is considered a Cuban national hero because of his role in the liberation of his country, and he was an important figure in Latin American literature.

(The writer is a widely travelled senior journalist now based in Delhi.) 

A 19 year-old Dalit woman, who was gang-raped by four upper caste men a fortnight ago, not only suffered brutality and injustice while alive, but was even denied dignity in death when the police and district administration of Hathras cremated her around 2.30 am on Wednesday against the wishes of the family. The brutality of the criminal assault that had left the woman paralysed following spinal injury, multiple fractures and tongue being gashed, reminded people of the Nirbhaya rape incident of seven year back when the entire nation had stood up to protest against the heinous crime that had forced the then government to take notice and the Parliament passed stringent law against such crime against women. However, Hathras incident has shown that the laws have remained on paper and women of the country are not safe despite tall claims government which has been repeatedly chanting popular slogan ‘Beti Bachao and Beti Padhao.’ 

Not only brutality of the crime, but the treatment meted out to Dalit victim and her family has also shocked the people and shaken collective conscience. The worst part is that the victim was denied the dignity in death and family was prevented the basic human rights of cremating the body of their loved one with honour and as per customs. After the victim passed away in the Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi, where she was undergoing treatment, the police whisked away the body back to Hathras and forcibly performed the last rites in the middle of the night. The repeated pleas of victim’s family that they should be allowed to take the body home one last time and cremate her in the morning as per customs, was completely ignored by the district administration. The family members were locked in their house and last rites were performed in the absence of victim’s parents. In a gross violation of the basic human rights, the family was not even allowed to see the face of the victim one last time before the cremation. The relatives protests and attempt to block the ambulance from carrying the body to the cremation ground was foiled by the heavy police deployment. The videos and photos of a lone pyre with no family members around and cops chasing media persons revealed the apathetic and inhuman attitude of the government. 

   Following a phone call from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister has constituted a three member SIT to probe the matter and submit its report within seven days. However, it has failed to pacify the people who have come out on the roads at many places to protest against the law and order situation in the state. Four perpetrators of the crime belonging to the upper caste have been arrested and charged with rape murder. The Prime Minister has asked the Chief Minister to take stringent action against perpetrators of the crime.   

   However, public sentiments at present against the state government and district administration and people are agitated over the entire incident. The UP, police already under scrutiny over alleged lapses throughout the case, has come under further attack for its inexplicable rush in cremation. Political parties are targeting the Uttar Pradesh government demanding resignation of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Opposition Congress has charged Yogi for failure in maintaining law and order and to protect life and dignity of Dalit woman. It has demanded that the Chief Minsiter should resign or the PM should replace him with some effective leader. Women rights activists are also up in arms, condemning the state government’s action and demanding stringent action against the culprit. 

   Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “A daughter of India is raped, facts are suppressed, and in the end the right to funeral is also taken away from her family. It is abusive and unjust.” Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra termed the midnight cremation of the victim by police and district administration against the wishes of the family as inhuman. “The government did not protect her while she was alive. The government did not provide timely treatment when she was attacked. After the death of the victim, the government took away the right to perform the last rites of the daughter from the family. Gross inhumanity,” she said. Pointing out that crime had happened on September 14, but the Chief Minister has made a statement on the issue today after 15 days and that too after the Prime Minister phoned him. She asked, “Was he waiting for the Prime Minister’s call to take action? And wonder who gave order to the police to cremate the victim and not allow the family members to perform last rites. She demanded Yogi’s resignation over the worsening crime situation in the state. 

   All India Mahila Congress President Sushmita Dev demanded to know why FIR was not lodged in the case for eight days and why the victim kept in the normal ward of the district hospital for eight days before being shifted to hospital in Aligarh and taken to the Safdarjung hospital only at the last moment when she was on the verge of death. Dev said that the SIT would probe into the conduct of the rapists, but who will probe the conspiracy, inhuman behavior and gross and criminal negligence of the Chief Minister. She said that women of UP are being brutally murdered, raped and killed while the Prime Minister is watching. Congress leader charged the Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani with being a “drama queen” who has been silent and ignored the brutality of what has happened. Congress leader Udit Raj alleged that the crime against Dalits have increased in the state under the BJP rule. 

Former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav said that performing last rites of the victim at night was both sin and crime and against our Indian culture. He said that there was no hope left from the insensitive BJP regime. BSP leader and former Chief Minister Mayawati also attacked the state government for crime against Dalits. The Bhim Army, which had earlier held a sit in demonstration at Safdarjung Hospital, organized demonstrations in Lucknow and Hathras. In many districts of the state, people took out a candle march in support of the victim and pleaded for justice. NCP has termed the incident as unfortunate and inhuman. Women right activists have blamed the Uttar Pradesh government of robbing the dignity of victim even in death. Calling the entire incident shocking and appalling, Kavita Krishnan of the All India Progressive Women’s Association said, “This horror gives you the full picture of what this crime is all about.”

Aesthetic beauty treatments have greatly evolved from earlier being used to only alter a face or a feature in it, to now going deeper to understand the science behind the body and skin that helps keep anti-aging at bay. In the past few years, there has been a paradigm shift in the field of aesthetics from surgical to non-surgical treatments which offer the added benefits of no downtime, pain, or side effects. Technology can now leave one always looking as if in the first flush of youth by enhancing facial features naturally to give one a healthy, young, radiant, and well-rested look.

TRANSDERMAL DELIVERY OF COLLAGEN

This revolutionary treatment is a novel technology that delivers heavy molecules like collagen and hyaluronic acid transdermally through the ion channels in the skin. The hyaluronic acid delivered non-invasively into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulates further collagen production. This innovative treatment, which is available exclusively in India only at AAYNA Clinic, gives fabulous results in the treatment of fine lines, wrinkles, and lax skin. Vitamin C transported along with these molecules helps to treat pigmentation and brightens up the complexion
for a radiant, revitalized look.

MICRONEEDLING WITH RADIOFREQUENCY

A new-generation technology combining radio-frequency and micro-needling is an FDA cleared, a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates the natural production of collagen. It is an excellent treatment for reducing fine lines, open pores, neck/hand creepiness (textural rejuvenation), and tightening. It is also very effective in the treatment of scars and stretch marks anywhere on the body.

ENERGY BASED DEVICE- THERMAGE CPT

Thermage CPT is an FDA-approved, non-invasive radio-frequency treatment that can smoothen, tighten, and contour the skin in a single session. Radio-frequency energy stimulates fibroblasts for collagen production, the results of which continue to progress for months after the session and last up to 2 years. The most recent iteration of this device is equipped with a vibrating anesthesia device to make the procedure more comfortable and effective. Thermage eye is a form of non-surgical blepharoplasty to tighten the skin around the eye, treat hooding, wrinkles, and under-eye bags.

SEMI-PERMANENT MICRO-PIGMENTATION WITH NANO-BLADING

Semi-permanent micro-pigmentation for eyebrows and lips can greatly enhance facial features by providing more definition to the face. Medical micro-pigmentation for camouflage can be done for vitiligo, scars, and alopecia patches. Offered exclusively at AAYNA, this state-of-the-art technology of micro-pigmentation by nano-blading is more advanced than micro-blading as it provides natural results with minimal scarring.

NON-ABLATIVE LASERS FOR SKIN RESURFACING

For years, laser resurfacing procedures were performed by ablative machines which damaged the top layer of the skin (epidermis). This entailed a longer downtime and higher chances of side effects. The latest non-ablative lasers have revolutionized skin resurfacing treatments. The laser beam penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin and stimulates collagen, sparing the destruction of the superficial layers. Deep micro-thermal zones (MTZ’s) are induced by these lasers which trigger a wound healing process, resulting in collagen remodeling and improvement in fine lines, open pores, pigmentation, and scarring.

The world is facing unprecedented times and the pandemic has made whole in the pockets of people. The situation has increased the value of money more than ever before. The hard-earned money of people must go to the right place.

Vaasu Challa came up with the venture “Happy Coin” that improves the FINANCIAL- LITERACY, and FINANCIAL- DECISION MAKING of the middle-class Indians.

Nowadays we come across hundreds of YouTube channels, papers, online journals; articles that share guaranteed information on finance/cash management yet none of them help individuals to take concrete financial decisions. People face dilemmas while taking financial decisions, for instance buying a house, car, or an insurance policy. And even after not being confident about the purchase they still invest their hard-earned money by falling into the trap of an unknown person. There are times when the decision proves to be wrong in the future. Vaasu Challa is an expert that guides such customers through his venture “Happy Coin” and prevents such scenarios by guiding them towards the right path.

Frauds are all over the place and one never knows that who may take advantage of you. People are getting trapped by Network Marketing and PONZI schemes. So, we must become financially literate as the scammers are mushrooming in the society and are eagerly waiting to screw your condition.

Happy Coin’s Mission is to Turn 1 Lakh Middle-Class Families rich by providing the right financial education & by showing the right investment opportunities. COIN in Happy coin is the epitome of CUSTOMERS, ORGANISATION, INVESTORS, and NATION. By following the trend of social media, Vaasu is growing the weight of the people’s pockets through different money management strategies which he does online.

The team has already served 11,000 customers and is keen to serve more people. Vaasu says that he loves solving problems, and that is the reason he has selected the niche “MONEY Management”, as 90% of the issues that people face in everyday life emerge through MONEY.

According to Vaasu Challa, the foremost mistake that people do financially is investing their money blindly without setting goals. People invest in real estate, mutual funds, stocks, fixed deposits, recurring deposits, post office schemes, etc. but without setting goals. “Goal Setting” and “Planning” are the most important steps that people must follow before investments they are crucial steps but most people ignore them. In India, there are a few Financial Planners, and out of them, there is a very small percentage of them whom you can trust. They suggest a financial product to their clients which advantage them rather than their clients; they make high commissions through them.

But Happy Coin is far away from all these gimmicks and has proven to be a trustworthy organization since 2017. The goal is to guide people on How to set financial goals? How to choose the best financial product? And, How to plan their future investments?

Now there are criteria that a person has to follow to be their valuable customer. The client must earn more than 30,000 per month. The individual must be from the “Middle-class”. Happy Coin mainly focuses on the people who know online transactions/ videos/ online meetings etc. The workflow is simple; they first analyze the problem from its root and then provide the best possible solution for it.

Happy Coin provides training and classes that include, Careers in personal finance, Hire a CFP, Invite Vaasu for a seminar, Business partnership, How to become CFP, Become Insurance Agent, and Become mutual fund distributor.

He says, “We are humans, we have to help each other for our personal and financial growth. There are 3 categories of people who really need the right kind of services for financial wellbeing.” It includes Widows, Third Gender, Retired, and the Soldiers.

Vaasu Challa is the founder and CEO of Happy Coin. He started his company in the year 2017 to turn 1 lakh, middle-class families, into rich. Additionally, he is an ex financial planner, Business coach, Author for two bestselling books, and Political consultant. Vaasu and his team are looking forward to serving more clients and bring improvement in their lives by sharing their knowledge and making them literate financially.

This young Wushu champion is all about his grit and determination in the Chinese martial arts, who has so far earned innumerable accolades for the same.

The world around us may teach different things to different people throughout their different journeys in life. The world of sports is just the same, where it teaches an athlete to fall, rise up, try one more time, fall again and rise again. This acts like a lifelong activity for not just people in sports, but individuals all around the world. Just like that, passionate individuals who show talents in various kinds of martial arts also go through the same journey, where life teaches them each and everything that can help them carve their journeys as high-performing martial artists. One such martial art is known as Wushu, which is Chinese martial arts and the one that has given birth to innumerable talents so far. One such growing talent from India, who has carved a remarkable journey for himself in Wushu as a champion is Pawan Gupta.

Wushu is a special form of hand to hand combat which has been one of the influential most martial arts that developed in China in the 3rd century B.C.E. It is a full-contact sport that includes two disciples, one is Taolu and the other is Sanda, which is also known as Sanshou, in which Gupta has always shown his prowess.

Since the beginning, if anything that Gupta felt inclined to, then it was the world of sports and moreover, the world of martial arts. Right from his early days, Gupta who hails from Delhi saw a different kind of energy in athletes performing martial arts and since then had decided to make a name for himself in the same. This drove him towards learning the martial arts. Over the years, he kept practicing and then began participating in competitions and championships since the year 2009. Gupta proved not just India, but the world that true grit and passion can help an individual reach the skies as he won many medals at these championships all around the world and made the country proud with his excellent performances at the games. Apart from this, he is 4 time Champion in Kickboxing national and has remained a champion in Wushu multiple times.

Amongst the many certificates and accolades he earned over the years, some of them include, bronze medal in 8th Asian Wushu Championship for men’s 65kg in 2012, a certificate in the 4th Pars Cup Wushu Championships in 2012, Diploma in Sanshou below 70 kg in the National Games Kerala, 2015, 3rd in Wushu International Championship in 2017, 2nd in Asian Sanda Championship 2017, a certificate in 6th Asian junior Wushu Championship, 3rd in International Wushu Sanda Tournament in 75 kg in 2018, and many more.

Gupta has been the recipient of Sanda Cup 2 times, and Shanghai Cup, along with being a junior and senior national champion and Asian and world champion.
