This year there will be no the tableaux from Maharashtra as well as West Bengal at the ensuing Republic Day parade thanks to an order by the Central government.
Hearing the news, NCP MP Supriya Sule alleged that the Centre has denied permission to the tableaux from the two non-BJP-ruled Maharashtra and West Bengal at the Republic Day parade. Taking a dig at the government she said that the government was behaving in a “prejudiced” manner.
She further continued that the decision could be because the two states had played a key role in the freedom struggle and the decision to allegedly deny permissions to their tableaux was an “insult” of the people.
“The Centre has rejected permissions to the tableaux of Maharashtra and West Bengal from parading on Republic Day. It is a festival of the country and the Centre is expected to give representation to all the states,” Sule tweeted.
प्रजासत्ताक दिनानिमित्तच्या संचलनात महाराष्ट्र व पश्चिम बंगालच्या चित्ररथास केंद्र सरकारने परवानगी नाकारली.हा देशाचा उत्सव असून केंद्र सरकारने सर्व राज्यांना प्रतिनिधित्व देणे अपेक्षित आहे.परंतु सरकार आकसाने वागत असून विरोधकांची सत्ता असणाऱ्या राज्यांना सापत्नभावाची वागणूक देतेय.
But the government is behaving in a prejudiced manner, giving step-motherly treatment to the states being ruled by the opposition parties,” she added.
The Parliamentarian from Baramati also shared a news report that claimed that the defence ministry has rejected West Bengal’s tableaux for the Republic Day parade.
Dr. Parag Telang, a Mumbai-based cosmetic and undoubtedly is the best plastic surgeon in the town. He is M.S and M.Ch certified from the well-known Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital (LTMGH). He is also the Director and Chief Cosmetic Plastic Surgeon at Designer Bodyz, Centre for Advanced Cosmetic surgery that is the most preferred Plastic Surgery Clinic in Mumbai. The doctor has performed more than 4,000 successful cosmetic surgeries including face, body contouring, breast surgeries and ear reconstruction.
Read on as he engages in a freewheeling chat with Editor-in-Chief Dr Vaidehi Tamanabout his experience, dos and don’ts of plastic surgery, aesthetic procedures, biggest beauty myth and many more….
You are an award winning successfulcosmetologist. Tell us what inspired you to enter in the beauty industry?
I had no plan as such to become a plastic surgeon. During my general surgery training, I got interested in plastic surgery. Of course, interest in aesthetic surgery came much later as I was finishing my plastic surgery residency.
As a cosmetologist, what are those biggest myths about beauty that you want to clarify?
Lot of people believe that cosmetic surgery or cosmetic treatments are harmful or cause harm in the long run. I feel that they are against God’s wish or that they cause cancer etc. These are the common myths that I encounter almost on a daily basis.
How do you deal with a popular myth prevalent today that products containing natural ingredients are better for skin?
I think patient education plays a very important role. I take out time during patient consultation to clear the misconceptions regarding use of various products.
Recently there have been many deaths due to liposuction however safe it may be?
It is wrong to say that many deaths have happened due to liposuction. Liposuction is the world’s leading cosmetic procedure. Of course it is important that it should be performed by a properly trained plastic surgeon. If complications happen in a miniscule number of patients, it has more to do with lax regulation of who can perform these surgeries rather than the procedure itself. I have done more than 4500 liposuctions and can definitely vouch for its safety.
What is the biggest difference between non-surgical weight reduction and surgical way of losing weight?
Non-surgical methods are quite temporary and can be used only for small areas such as double chin. They are still nowhere near the results of the surgical methods of weight loss.
Is it affordable for common man?
Yes, these treatments are becoming more affordable for the common man now. There are many modalities of payment eg; credit card companies which also provide the option of paying them in EMIs.
Who should undergo such treatments?
Any person, male or female, if bothered by their appearance and if there are safe procedures which can be offered to them, then they can undergo such treatments.
And what are the dos and don’ts of surgical beautification? What are the risks involved in such procedures?
There are no particular dos and don’ts of surgical beautification. It is important for patients to understand that these procedures are more or less permanent and hence they have to be sure in their mind about what features they want to change before opting for these.
How much desired change can be guaranteed by doctors? Any identity crises issues after facial alternations?
Almost all features of the face, body can now be cosmetically enhanced or altered. Sometimes patients themselves need to give some time to get used to their new look. I always tell my patients that your looks will definitely change after any procedure but this change will be for the better.
How do you look at these surgeries as craving for look more beautiful or need of circumstances?
This trend is also due to social media stories. Nowadays people are so aware of who is doing what to look good that they also want to do the same. I feel as a whole our entire society is becoming more consumerist and this is not only related to cosmetic procedures per se.
Have you ever faced awkward situations from patients?
Yes, sometimes (Laugh). Like sometimes I come across daughters telling me that they don’t want their parents to know about their surgery or wives telling that they don’t want their husbands to know about the surgery.
Tell us one memorable moment as doctor.
There are plenty of occasions when patients or their relatives touch my feet after seeing the result and they compare me with God. These are very memorable events for any doctor as no other profession gets this kind of response.
How important it is to educate a person seeking treatment about aesthetic procedures are not about becoming somebody else, but becoming the best version of you?
It is very important to counsel a patient seeking cosmetic procedures properly. If a person has unrealistic expectations, it is very important to explain the possible results and also to dissuade a person if the results desired cannot be attained.
What would you tell everybody about the difference between wanting to look beautiful and being obsessed with the idea of looking beautiful?
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Though looking beautiful is important there are many other aspects of life such as confidence, dressing etc which create a lasting impact. So beyond a point one should not obsess over external beauty.
How would you look at the malpractices in this Aesthetics business?
There are many practitioners who don’t have any qualifications and still start an aesthetic clinic because of the lure to make money. Then there are others who perform procedures or surgeries beyond the scope of their work. I know of a dentist doing breast implants and another dentist performing hair transplant!
How do you look at mushrooming cosmetologists in Mumbai?
The lure of money and of course the demand is triggering this. While it is a welcome development unfortunately the regulations have not kept pace with the mushrooming of unregistered or unlicensed clinics.
How do you maintain ethics over aesthetics?
I do so by refusing to make money the primary aim. I tell so many patients that they don’t need a particular procedure that ultimately they respect my honest opinion.
What would be your one suggestion to health ministry pertaining to the practices in cosmetology and challenges?
Please enlarge the scope of the Medical Council to regulate unlicensed clinics. Make the practise without a valid license punishable under law so that people think twice before doing unethical things. Last year a “celebrity dermatologist” from Mumbai landed up behind bars in UAE as they found her degree to be fake. We need that kind of action here as well.
Your message to our readers?
Please educate yourself. Do check the credentials/ degrees of your doctor. If that person is not a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist, please think twice before trusting your face or body in his/her hands. Rest assured, with proper scientific treatments, you can definitely have a great result in your appearance!!
Old friendship can be established through Facebook and you can collect details of all your old college mates and establish fresh relationship after missing out for so many years. It all began asking around on the numerous Whatsapp groups I’m a part of, to see how many people we could gather for the event.
A large number of my friends and I signed up. I got to know about my old friends after so many years through posts on the Facebook group, where there is constant reminiscing about the good old days. We drew closer and the Facebook group got increasingly active, I realised I wanted to make it to the event and that too preferably, with someone from my batch. It is time to keep the mind-body connection–the relationship between stress and disease.
After completing college if you stay in the same place then you can establish better contacts. When you go out for jobs, the contacts are lost and when you leave the country for some overseas assignments then you lose contact with your friends. It is difficult to make a reunion in big cities like Mumbai. Those days in 1960s and 1970s, there were no mobile phones and keeping contact under such a situation is quite impossible.
The reunion is now made possible by the social media and you can find out your friends if you know the full name and search his old photo for identification. It takes time to go through details and pass on the information and form a group for the mutual establishment of lost relationship. Eventually, all the groups began to merge — after all, we were all ex North Madras Chennai collegians and separated looking for job. We exchanged pleasantries and started sending photographs through Whatsapp.
The senior citizens reminisced the ‘good old days’ spent at their alma mater exactly fifty years back. As part of the golden jubilee reunion, the oldies will have to make contacts and bring them together in one platform and went nostalgic on noticing the drastic changes the campus had undergone in these years. Even a batch of ten arrived at the college along with their better halves and recalled the sweet memories of their college life. The alumni must also decide to hold such similar meetings once in two years at a common place. They get nostalgic on noticing major changes in their life graph for that matter.
There are one-stop solution for all your alumni networking needs. The interactive alumni portals come with all the features required to manage former students relations seamlessly. Trusted Official Alumni Engagement Partner for Prestigious Institutions and Corporates arrange everything in a decent way as event managers and make your dream come true. In all it is happy reunion of friends from all walks of life and from every nook and corner of the country.

The mysterious death of TV actor Kushal Punjabi who committed suicide comes as a shock. Depression is the key reason of such suicidal deaths and 37 year old Kushal was not just going through a troubled marriage but had financial issues as well. Fame when it disappears can be difficult to handle and the reason for many troubled relationships, more so if you are a celebrity when the spotlight is on you both from your fans as well as the media.
Counselling from psychologists is the need of the hour when one feels low and depressed in life and this holds good for all. Taking life is a bigger crime and even the Almighty won’t forgive such acts as only the lucky few get to see this world which is a beautiful creation of God. Education is the need of the hour and depression can easily be cured if one visits an expert and helped by near and dear one’s support which one can easily access if one shares their troubles with others.

Problem of Naxalism in India
As per the recent report, Naxalites attacked security forces more than 360 times in last 10 months, injured 147 policemen and citizens. Out of these 70 broke in to encounters killing 128 Naxalites including 36 women. The Central Military Commission of Maoist declared that the joint operation by Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and Maharashtra has resulted in great loss to their movement. They further said that the highest number of Maoists are killed in Chhattisgarh which has severely weakened the Maoist movement in central India. The most important thing to note here is the large number of women Naxalites being killed which shows that Naxalites are brainwashing women in large number. In a bid to survive they may also extend the movement to include more number of women and minors, if this happens then it will jeopardize the future generations of citizens living in Naxal affected area. This is a high time to crush the Naxalites before they pose a threat to the Indian democracy and people of India.

A major fire broke out at a warehouse storing batteries in outer Delhi’s Peeragarhi in the wee hours of Thursday. During the rescue operation a portion of the building collapsed which led several people including three firemen who had entered in the building to douse the flames, got trapped.
As per recent report, thirty-five fire engines are on the spot. Also a team of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) is at the site for the rescue operation.
According to the fire brigade, they have received a call around 04:23 am that a fire had broken out in a factory at Udyog Nagar in Peeragarhi. Initially they have sent seven fire engines to the factory.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal tweeted, “V sad to hear this. Am closely monitoring the situation. Fire personnel trying their best. Praying for the safety of those trapped.”

On the very first day of the year, the government hiked railway fares while it has increased the prices of LPG gas cylinders in a big way and also the cost of Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) by 2.6 per cent. The railway has announced a fare hike across its network effective from January 1.
While the suburban commuter have been spared, the fares of ordinary non-AC, non-suburban trains have been increased by 1 paise per km of the journey.The railways also announced a two paise/km hike in fares of mail/express non-AC trains and four paise/km hike in the fares of AC class. The fare hike will also be applicable to premium trains such as Shatabdi, Rajdhani and Duronto.
Ronald D’souza who travels from Virar to Churchgate by first class on a monthly ticket said, “I heaved a sigh of relief when I heard that the railways have spared the suburban train commuters as far as the hike in train fares are concerned.”
The statement of the Railways reads:
1) For all AC classes, the hike is 4 paise per kilometre travelled.
2) All non-AC classes and the unreserved segment will see a 1 paisa per kilometre hike.
3) On long-distance mail/express trains, the hike will be 2 paise per kilometre.
4) Railways have decided to keep the fares of the suburban classes unchanged.
5) The fare hike is also applicable to premium trains such as Shatabdi, Rajdhani and Duronto, as per the order.
6) According to the order, there will not be any change in the reservation fee and superfast charge.
7) The increase in fare will be on tickets bought on or after 1 January 2020 and no excess fare (difference of fare) will be charged from passengers who have booked tickets before this date.
Let’s take the case of the Delhi-Kolkata Rajdhani Express which covers a distance of 1,447 km. The hike at the rate of 4 paise per km will sum up to around Rs 58.
When AV spoke to Dharmendra Singh who frequently travels between Mumbai and Delhi by Rajdhani Express, he said, “The rise seems to be nominal. The railways have admitted that they will use the said revenue generated by the “marginal” increase in fares for the modernisation of the network.”
According to a Railway ministry order, there will not be any change in the reservation fee and superfast charge and the hike in fares will not be applicable to tickets already booked.
The last such hike was announced in 2014-2015 when fares of all classes of trains were raised by 14.2 per cent and freight charges by 6.5 per cent. However, since then, the railways introduced the flexi-fare scheme which significantly raised fares on select trains and launched trains like Vande Bharat Express and Tejas Express which have relatively higher fares. Trains with dynamic pricing like Suvidha Express were also introduced.
“Indian Railways has continuously endeavoured to augment passenger experience through modernisation of coaches and provision of improved facilities over stations. Further, the burden of 7th Pay Commission on Indian Railway has necessitated the rationalisation of the fares. In order to expand passenger amenities and facilities at various railway stations and trains, it has become imperative to increase the fare marginally without over burdening any class of passengers. Fast modernization of Indian Railways will be achieved through this fare revision,” the railways said.
The increase in the fare will be on tickets bought on or after January 1, 2020 and no excess fare (difference of fare) will be charged from passengers who have booked tickets before this date.
On the other hand, Jet fuel or Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) price was on Wednesday hiked by 2.6 per cent while that of non-subsidised cooking gas LPG has been increased by Rs 19 per cylinder on the back of a rise in international rates. The two back-to-back increases have pushed jet fuel prices to their highest since June 2019.
Rashmi Deshmukh a Borivali resident said, “The government has been increasing the price of LPG cylinder since last five months. If prices continue to increase in this manner then it will adversely affect my monthly budget. It will become difficult for me to make both ends meet.”
Price of ATF, used to power aeroplanes has been raised by Rs 1,637.25 per kilolitre (kl) or 2.6 per cent to Rs 64,323.76 per kl in Delhi, according to a price notification of state-owned fuel retailers.
This is the second straight monthly increase in rates warranted due to firming up of prices in the international market. India is dependent on imports to meet 84 per cent of its oil needs while prices of domestic fuels are at par with benchmark international prices.
ATF price was on December 1 increased by a marginal Rs 13.88 per kl.
This is the fifth straight monthly increase in cooking gas prices since September 2019. In all, non-subsidised cooking gas prices have gone up by Rs 139.50 per cylinder in the last five months. Non-subsidised LPG is the gas that consumers buy after exhausting their quota of 12 cylinders of 14.2-kg at sub-market or subsidised rates of Rs 495.86.
Adulteration in milk is not a new thing. I remember when I was a small child, a milk man used to carry those typical measurements and a big milk can on a bicycle to deliver milk door-to-door. My grandmother used to pour a few drops on the floor by questioning the milkman “Aaj bhi doodh me paani milaya kya? Doodh patla lag raha hai.” (Have you added water in the milk as its consistency is thin). This was a repetitive question to the milkman. Since childhood, we knew that the milk is most commonly diluted with water – this not only reduces its nutritional value but contaminated water can also cause additional health problems. But as the time changed and we adopted modern ways of storing or packing milk, the adulteration has gone on dangerous levels. The other adulterants used are mainly detergents, foreign fats, starch, sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), sugar, urea, pond water, salt, maltodextrin, sodium carbonate, formalin, and ammonium sulfate.
It has been a cause of concern for both the Government and the Dairy Industry. The Indian Council of Medical Research has reported, “Milk adulterants have hazardous health effects. The detergent in milk can cause food poisoning and other gastrointestinal complications. Its high alkaline level can also damage body tissue and destroy proteins. Other synthetic components can cause impairments, heart problems, cancer or even death. While the immediate effect of drinking milk adulterated with urea, caustic soda and formalin is gastroenteritis, the long-term effects are far more serious.”
Contaminated milk continues to be sold in Maharashtra despite crackdown measures taken by authorities. The Maharashtra Food and Drug Administration (fda), had, in a study, found that 20 per cent of the milk is adulterated. Though the study prompted immediate action and licences of 21 dairies to be suspended, yet, there is no respite. In another study, the NGO Consumer Guidance Society of India (CGSI) Mumbai, found that over 37 per cent samples were either sub-standard or unfit for human consumption.
India produces a little over 105 million tonnes (mt) of milk annually and out of this, Mumbai consumes 1.65 mt. Of that, 0.61 million tonnes is substandard & adulterated. The problem is not restricted to just within the state. In 1999, Ahmedabad-based Consumer Education and Research Centre tested 28 brands of packed milk and two samples of loose milk from Ambawadi and Ambica, local dairies. All the 30 brands failed in microbiological parameters specified by the Bureau of Indian Standards. Most brands had coliform and EColi. Twenty-one samples failed fat content standards and four failed solid non-fat parameters. Preservatives were found in 12 samples and pesticide residues in 27. Heavy metals such as copper, lead, zinc, arsenic, cadmium and mercury were also found. Milk from Gujarat comes into Maharashtra.
Milk adulteration takes place in the open in areas like Antop Hill, Saki Naka, Kurla, Kurar village, Dahisar Baithi chawl and Dharavi in Mumbai. In September 2005, the then deputy chief minister R R Patil along with the then Mumbai police crime branch had seized 10,000 litres of adulterated milk from the slums in Kapaswadi (Andheri), Khar Danda, Vatsala Naik Nagar (Kurla) and Babhai Naka (Borivali) and arrested 39 people who were charged with adulteration and forgery. Later on, they all were released on bail by paying some fine and back to the same business. The laws are weak and that is the reason such practices are not stoppable. Moreover, FDA does not have a dedicated food testing laboratory of its own. It has asked the state government to set up six such laboratories in six divisional headquarters. The FDA now has to depend on the state public health department laboratory in Mumbai and Pune and MCGM’s laboratory at Dadar where testing sometimes takes more than the stipulated 40 days. About two years ago, the state legislature had come with a proposal to make milk adulteration a non-bailable offence but it is still in the draft stage.
Reports of substandard and adulterated food frequent the front pages of newspapers. Samples of items we consume daily like milk, pulses, oils, vegetables, sugar, among many others have been rated sub-standard. While it is difficult to track the production process and locate the item’s source, simple tests can help you distinguish a pure sample from an adulterated one.
To find out water in milk, put a drop of milk on a polished, slanting surface. Pure milk either stays or flows slowly leaving a white trail behind. Milk adulterated with flow immediately without leaving a mark.
To find out detergent in milk, take 5-10 millilitres (ML) of milk sample and equal quantity of water and shake the mixture thoroughly. If the milk is adulterated with detergent, it forms dense lather pure milk will have a thin layer of foam.
Detecting starch in milk and milk products, boil 2-3 ML of the sample (milk, khoya, chenna or paneer) with 5 ML of water for other ghee and butter. Water need not be added. Add 2-3 drops of tincture of iodine after letting it cool
The formation of blue colour indicates the presence of starch. Food adulteration is a global concern and developing countries are at higher risk associated with it due to lack of monitoring and policies. However, this is one of the most common phenomena that have been overlooked in many countries. Unfortunately, in contrast to common belief, milk adulterants can pose serious health hazards leading to fatal diseases. Just reading the news and condemning the act is not enough, we as responsible citizens need to be more alert and smart in diagnosing what we receive and consume.
Stay healthy and stay fit.

One of the fresh pairings of the New Year 2020 is Ishaan Khattar and Ananya Panday is all set for their upcoming film Khaali Peeli. Recently the duo shared the movie wrapped up picture on social media. After keeping their fans intrigued for a long time now after announcing the movie and the first look, the makers of the film have now shared the first still from the movie.
Ishaan took to Instagram to share a still in which Ananya can be seen turning passenger for his taxi. The young actress can be seen clad in traditional attire as she takes the backseat of Ishaan’s car. While Ishaan can be seen clad in the uniform of a taxi driver, he is seen looking at her from rear-view mirror. Ananya tense look from the movie and her worried expression will surely leave you intrigued about the film. Ishaan shared the photo along with a caption, “#KhaaliPeeli.”
Reportedly the shoot of the film has been done in the bylanes of Bhendi Bazaar in Mumbai. The film is helmed by Maqbool Khan and produced by Ali Abbas Zafar and Himanshu Mehra. The movie promises a young, edgy roller-coaster ride that kick-start one night, when a boy meets a girl. Apart from Ananya and Ishaan the movie also stars Jaideep Ahlawat in key role. Khaali Peeli is scheduled to be released on June 12, 2020.
After their BMW fell into a well, two persons were killed while three others were injured in a ghastly accident that took place in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad city. A report says that the mishap took place at 2 am on Wednesday near the Daulatabad Fort when all of them were returning after attending a New Year party.
According to the police, one among the five friends who was driving the car apparently lost control following which the vehicle fell into a roadside well. A passerby noticed the car plunging into the well and altered the locals who later informed the police about the incident.
The deceased have been identified as Saurabh Vijay Nandapurkar (29) and Virbhas Kasture (34) (all residents of the area). The three injured people who are admitted to the government hospital have been identified as Nitin Shishkar (34), Pratik Kapadia (30) and Madhur Jaiswal (30).
Many people talk big about making a New Year resolution, but as days and months pass by, many people do not even remember them ! In today’s mechanical world with strenuous daily routines, one will certainly not be able to honestly abide by any resolution. My resolution always is not to have or follow any resolution. Because, I believe in living life as it comes, One should believe in living in the moment and take things as they come and face them according to situations.
I want to, in fact, leave the past behind and make the most of what lies ahead. And yes, if anybody asks me to have some resolution and what do I wish for, then I would rather say that we must resolve to make our planet peaceful, save nature, protect trees, mountains, rivers and the environment.
As a Mumbaikar, I hope that the city of Mumbai will be a place where everyone can co-exist peacefully. Our city should be kept clean, open spaces should not be converted into concrete jungles. Basic amenities should be available to all. I would urge the political parties to desist from the display of huge banners and the people to avoid plastics of all kinds. Let us protect the environment, nature and this planet. So, let us all strive to follow the basic principles of “Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan” and maintain cleanliness and hygiene at all times and at all costs and at every inch of our environment and society. Let us learn lessons from the recent natural calamities like floods and vow not to play or tinker with the nature. Let us all save the planet to save ourselves.
As far as my country is concerned, I would like to see a very peaceful year-2020. I would like to see total end to terror activities along the borders and would not like to see our soldiers getting martyred in the “proxy war”. Most importantly, I urge all the leaders of all the political parties, social activists, media and intellectuals to think about the nation and its welfare and development. Have a patriotic approach for the nation you stay in and not encourage the enemy nation and anti-nationals to act against our country, in any manner, by your unwarranted comments and acts. In this respect at least, I will be glad if all the leaders and countrymen stand united, to prove that “Mera Bharat is Mahaan indeed”. They can have differences of opinion in matters of central government’s policies, etc. But when it comes to India, it should always be “NATION FIRST”. JAI HIND !
I would like to conclude with a story for the New Year 2020.
When I started using pen in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher. Sometimes, I use chalk to clean my mistake but it later re-appeared. So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to leave holes in my books. My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my error.
One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and he said, “Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on.” He said further “Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book to nothing.”
I told him in protest that I don’t want people to see my mistake. My loving teacher laughed and said, “Trying to erase your mistake will make more people know about your mess and the stigma is for life.”
Have you made some mistakes in life? Cross it over and move on. Don’t expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes. Better things are ahead of you.
Strike out your 2019 mistakes and move into 2020 with a fresh note.
