She has travelled across 30 countries and still counting and her love for travel can be exemplified by this. She also runs her own trekking company. “we run bespoke trips in the Himalayas of Ladakh and Nepal (website: www.type2adventures.com),” said Ishita.

Just recently, she started uploading her pictures on her Instagram profile that goes by the name ‘Dharnidh’ and within no time, she was flooded with the responses. She now has over 80,000 followers and her single post fetches thousands of engagements.

“To move, to breathe, to fly, to float, to gain all while you give, to travel is to live…” The life of Ishita Dharnidharka is very much influenced by these lines as she is not just an adventure photographer but also an influencer for millions of budding photographers.

Her Instagram profile has hundreds of beautiful pictures of the places she traveled and it not only inspires the aspiring photographers to be like her but also it encourages people to visit such places at least once in the journey of their life.  

Her photography skills have been recognized by giants like Canon, Nokia, Google and Johnnie Walker. She even went to Peru for an assignment sponsored by the Peru tourism board. She also shoots food and interior photography commercially. She has a list of reputed clients and her work has been praised by them.

She added feathers to her cap when she was featured in a TV commercial for Global Camera manufacturing giant Canon. She also did an ad shoot for international brand Johnnie Walker.

When asked about her profession, Ishita said, “Photography and travelling for me are just not a mere profession but it is a religion for me. It is my passion and I always love doing it. I find myself lucky at times as I got the opportunity to continue my passion as my profession.”

Well, that is one part of the story, the other parts bring us across those names who hiding amidst names, find their light, work upon it and rise to make an impressive come up. They shine brighter and coming across them, they are not ignorable at all. One such singing star, sensation, light, comes out through the name of Gurdaat Gill. Singer, Lyricist, Composer, one after another and another, talents keep emerging and his name reached to the point where he was one among those happy souls who succeeded to start his own recording company and label with the name of “GURDAAT GILL MUSIC”.

What to say about this 20-year-old sensation who completed his BA Psychology (H). Who might have thought that a serious psychology student can take over the world by his amazing voice covering all music apps and spreading a sensation over so many enjoying souls of time?

None. This is what Gurdaat answered when we asked him the same question. He further said, “I might be famous as Gurdaat in the field of music today but back then as Bachhitter Singh Gill, I was totally a different personality. I really did work upon a lot to raise myself and my work of art. I wanted to make sure that things go well. Worked late nights, ignored tiredness and I knew, I had to be one I was passionate about. Trust me or not, this Sikh family born little guy too a lot to get his name established in the Punjabi music field. I had so many competitors around but what I focused on was words which knew, my art form differs from all and if I know to make it a belief that I am a winner, I will definitely be a winner.

BJP MP Pragya Thakur, known for making controversial remarks, today once again called Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse a “deshbhakt” or patriot during a debate in Lok Sabha. Her comments triggered a protest by members of the opposition with Congress calling her comments “BJP’s deplorable hate politics.”

During a discussion on the Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill, when DMK’s A Raja cited a statement of Nathuram Godse on why he killed Mahatma Gandhi, Pragya Thakur interrupted and said, “You cannot give example of a deshbhakt.”

Mr Raja said that Nathuram Godse himself admitted that he had nursed a grudge against Mahatma Gandhi for 32 years before finally deciding to assassinate him. Nathuram Godse, A Raja said, killed Mahatma Gandhi because he believed in a particular philosophy.

While opposition members protested against Pragya Thakur’s “deshbhakt” comment, BJP members asked her to sit down.

Asked by reporters to clarify her remarks, Pragya Thakur simply said, “Listen to what I said first. I’d reply tomorrow.”

The Congress targeted the BJP over Pragya Thakur’s comment. “Repeatedly referring to Nathuram Godse as a “deshbhakt” is a perfect representation of BJP’s deplorable hate politics. Will PM Modi condemn Pragya Thakur’s remarks or continue to stay silent?” the Congress asked on Twitter.

This is not the first time Pragya Thakur – a 2008 Malegaon blasts accused who won the election from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh – called Nathuram Godse a “deshbhakt“. During campaigning for this year’s Lok Sabha elections, she had spurred outrage and protests when, to a reporter’s question, she said: “Nathuram Godse was a ‘deshbhakt‘, is a ‘deshbhakt‘ and will remain a ‘deshbhakt‘.”

Pragya Thakur’s remarks not only drew severe backlash from the opposition, but were also publicly censured by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.  “These kinds of statements made about Gandhiji are condemnable and cannot be allowed in civilised society. She may have apologised, but I shall never forgive her,” the PM had said.

After the national elections, Pragya Thakur again courted controversy when she told BJP workers at a meeting that she wasn’t “elected to get drains and toilets cleaned”. Many later accused her of denigrating the Prime Minister’s Swachch Bharat Abhiyan, a movement inspired by Mahatma Gandhi.

The 49-year-old first time MP has become known for her controversial comments. In August, after the deaths of former Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj, she had accused the opposition of using “marak shakti” (occult powers) to harm BJP leaders, drawing much criticism.

On Wednesday, ‘The Surgical Manufacturers and Traders Association’ organized a press conference against the new framework for regulating all the medical devices under the ‘Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940’ proposed by the government of India. 

The association expressed its grievances that the new policy will swipe out the entire Medical Device Trade and Industry. Regulating all medical devices under one ambit of ‘Drugs and Cosmetics Act’ is the actual bone of contention.  

The notification regulates B.P. Monitors, Digital Thermometer, Glucometer & Nebulizers and etc, under ‘Drugs & Cosmetics Act’ 1940 w.e.f. 1st of January, 2020. “They have over-stepped the definition of a medical device. The definition of medical devices is much broader than it is mentioned in the new act. The DCA rules proposed to sideline the notification process by mentioning all medical devices that may assist by such means for one or more of the specific purposes,” said Pradeep Chawla, President, SMTA.

The SMTA has further alleged that there are no stakeholders discussions in laying the foundation of medical device rule. 

The rules were applicable only to few notified devices, which were critical by nature, sterile or implantable, however, now the department intends to apply the MDR on all medical devices. 

The Secretary of SMTA, Shri Puneet Bhasin talking about the new act said, “There would be a drastic rise in the cost of licensing, compliance, testing, audit and surveillance charges. Eventually, it will drive the entire micro, medium and small enterprise out of business. It will also decrease the investment in the medical device industry. The importers too would require wholesale drug license from respective State licensing authority. The fee imposed for licensing by Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) on imported medical devices is unnecessarily higher in comparison to the locally produced devices. It is not just licensing fee but a ‘non-tariff barrier’ for which Ministry of Health has no official mandate of the Ministry of Finance/ Ministry of Commerce to decide tariffs. As such all medical devices including rehabilitation aids and personal health aids are subjected to custom duty/surcharge/GST at a time of import. The CDSCO will be the nodal authority.”

Hardeep Singh, Joint Secretary, SMTA, said, “This is a draconian move done without the consensus of the stakeholders. Today taxes are getting higher on medical devices. Why does a patient have to bear tax on thermometers of BP machines. Today, the tax on diamond is lesser than the tax on medical devices. Is this the sensitivity of the government?”

The SMTA is its joint statement that the medical devices should be removed from Drug act and may lay down a separate regulation for medical devices where no drug licence is required. SMTA is a 67-years-old association hence qualifies to be a stakeholder. 

Rakesh Sawhney, Chairman, Trade Act Sub Committee said, “Indian consumers will suffer a lot due to this new proposed law. Usually, such notifications are issued one month before the final gazette notification in order to acknowledge the grievances of the stakeholders but they didn’t. It was brought in overnight like withdrawing the President’s Rule in Maharashtra. This is an adverse situation. We have to fight bit together.”

SMTA believes that this notification is not the in best interest of the public and Indian healthcare system. With the increase in the costing of medical devices, goes higher the humongous expense of the patients.

It also states that there are flaws in the process of CDSCO. “The entire process of approval of the product of CDCSO licensing is grossly flawed requiring re-registration of any manufacturing site, of the same product, for different importers, causing colossus waste of manpower, time, resource, which in turn will not yield any health benefit to the nation.”

The members of the association will be meeting Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan in Delhi on Thursday. 

The association has filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court against the proposed law. The court has sought the center’s response on the plea; the hearing will be on 11th December.

Himanshu Bansal, Nitin Vilecha, Yogesh Vilecha – The group of three hard-working people have made it huge. Giving the entertainment industry the flavor it needs, they have become unstoppable. Producing music videos, being digital partners to several blockbuster movies and also helping artists to maintain their social media accounts have been their utmost motive.

Since 2018, True Media has been one of the most trusted organizations when speaking about digital success in the entertainment industry. True Media has been digital partners for these super blockbusters- “High Attitude, Shy ,Lagda Na Dil , Do or Die , Only Yaar, High Temper, Eid krade. Etc.” They were not in the same position as they are today as we speak of. These three people have been constant pillars to each other and have used their knowledge on this field to their full potential. Himanshu Bansal in his interview with us said, “It was not as easy as it seems today. There had been a real struggle when we three decided to start off with this company. Our basic work was to manage and maintain social media accounts for the artists. Later we started to work on music videos and also collaborating as digital partners in movies. For us, it was never an issue as to who had to do what. Everybody was very much engrossed in their own department which finally made it a success.” Undoubtedly, we acknowledge the fact that their hard work has been paying off since the day they have started working.

To be fair, we cannot ignore the competition in the entertainment world. For the past 2 years, True Media have successfully worked with more than a hundred artists namely, Gagan Sharma, Maz Bonafide, Bilal Saeed, Happy Singh, Anjaan, Khan Saab etc. The accuracy and innovation in their field of work cannot be flawed for sure. To elaborate their work, they have collaborated with music labels like T-series, Zee Music Company, White Hill, Sony Music, Eros Music and so on. In conversation with Nitin Vilecha, we learned about the personal equation between the three entrepreneurs along with their working styles. Casually talking he said “We have been friends all along and each one of us enjoys their part of the job quite a lot. All three of us are very comfortable with each other’s working styles. Giving space and environment that helps us to accomplish the task we are assigned for, has been our foremost concern. We also make it very comfortable for the artists that we are working with. To be honest, all three of us trust each other completely and we respect our contribution as well.

He added, ”The success that we are talking about today and we are sitting at an interview means a lot to us. We never underestimate the competition and we definitely make it a point to maintain our relations with our clients for long term working processes. Working on the digital success of a movie or a music video is a very important responsibility for us. We cannot  mess around with it but we also do not make it difficult for the artists to get comfortable.”

The digital world is chaos and vast in itself. Making a mark in this world and having an audience that would be all ears to the efforts made by True Media is worth appreciating. Being a part of huge blockbusters, getting to know and maintain working relationships with artists and collaborating with such music labels must be considered a milestone in their journey.

David is one of those ambitious personalities who perform every task wholeheartedly and has left a positive mark on every business he has stepped into. After completing the Masters of Business Administration (MBA), he is planning to learn about analytics from Harvard Business School. Succeeding ahead in life, he is entering into the Bollywood industry by producing a movie with renowned celebrities. Within a short period, he will be disclosing the names of the popular actors which will be involved in the movie. Also, David is a self-determining personality who is passionate about several fields; likewise, he will be the producer as well as director of this movie.

He is of the view that this new project gives him positive vibes and he becomes even more determined because the script of this movie is close to his heart. Also, he indulged in writing this story after a real-life experience as he has witnessed the life incident of one of his Indian friends. Moreover, he affirms this story is considered as a powerful tool and will inspire the masses worldwide.

Considering the story, it will be based on the hardship and challenges he faced. Apart from this, this movie will focus on an Indian man who has experienced terrible situations in life and assert that lack of money is the root of all evil; likewise, lack of funds made him perform illegal means of entering into another nation. Also, this movie will reveal his struggles and success factors which assisted him in becoming a successful individual on foreign land. Besides this, details about the movie are not yet revealed by the producer but it will be shot in Mumbai and Los Angeles, California. Also, it is anticipated that the movie will come in the initial months of 2020.

The quote, “Born with a silver spoon”, is a half-truth. It’s what we hear and not what our eyes see. Because it isn’t easy. Even with a silver spoon, we need to know we don’t drop it. We need to keep up with the upcoming opportunities and it takes a lot to be a successor of one’s who handed over us the spoon. Mr Abhinav Delkar is one such successor who took over his family’s old tradition in 2011 and entered the world of politics. But this is what we think, for him, he entered the world of politics even before he knew he was going to take over the family tradition. He learnt from the field of cricket and football. He learnt from college and school life. He stepped up in every field and grew up with what was presented but wait, he noticed everything around. This learning he received from real-life experiences made him win the hearts of the youth and become the active and popular leader of Dadra & Nagar Haveli. He was so appreciated for his works that the crowd cheered him with the throne of Youth Congress President of the Union Territory. Youngest among all, insight for the far lost, he made every move to give a better life and to see what others ignore. His agendas were the reason which made him being recognized over that national level which politicians take years to get to. Not only this, he became an active participant in programs and organized sports and awareness camps in those interior parts of the country where our leaders have no insight to.

Mr Abhinav, he is one among those leaders who are not there to lead but is out there to make every single youth realise, “We all have the power to lead our life. No leader, no followers, no politicians, none will be helpful if we are unaware of the fact, where we want our journey to begin and move along the path of success”. He says, “I might be called as the Youth leader of Dadra & Nagar Haveli but trust me, I am one single person like everyone. I just know that opportunities are what we wait for and this is where everyone lack. I will be happier when instead of getting titles as such, I will start receiving and seeing people around who are happy, successful and know where they are going. This is what my aim is, this is what I aspire for and this, this is where every political leader must look for”.

Abhinav’s school and college life has been great learning but apart from same, what became his school was his late grandfather Shri Sanjibhai Delkar, the first nominated member of the Parliament of Dadra & Haveli after independence. His stories, his life, whatever he heard around, whatever people still remember him for, this became the learning of this young heart at the age of 29.

He says, “I undertake any campaign only when I believe in it. The winning of Panchayat elections in 2015 with such huge margin, the active role-playing in 2019’s campaign where my father, Mr Mohanbhai Sanjibhai Delkar, contested for elections. It was because of all our hard work and the promises that have been kept along which made the active youth in the territory come together and be a part of the success where Mr Mohanbhai, my father won the elections for the 7th time as an independent candidate of Lok Sabha. Now, I could have never been a part of the same, just to say, but I knew and I saw what effects were brought in and what changes can come along. This is what became the one reason I became an active participant of this change-making the election and assure people that what we do, is going to be one best part of what they have seen under someone else reign.”

Well, that was brave. It was really brave and for sure he is one such idle person who keeps words for what he says. He has been doing that for long and just like every achievement since his young age where he was selected in the Gujarat State team, (Under 19 & 22) he will keep achieving heights for what we call a better future for us the citizens.
