Inspiration-Meet the 7th Grader Who Has Raised over Rs. 9 Lakh to Help Cancer Patients in Mumbai

A student of Class 7, Arav says that he was touched by the outpouring of support he received from people over the past month. He says, “To have that many people appreciate what I did was really awesome. Many have called since to find out how they can donate money. We were able to raise an additional two lakhs since the post,” he notes.
The money he is collecting will go towards the Nargis Dutt Cancer Foundation, an organisation that provides assistance for treatment of cancer patients from underprivileged backgrounds. It is also an organisation that his mother has been working with.It has been six months since Arav decided to spend his free time on the cause and he has learned some tricks along the way to manage school-work. “The first two months when I was trying to raise money were especially hectic. I would do my school work and my home work in the bus and then when I would get home, I would head out to meet people to get them to contribute.”He started with his mother’s contacts and family friends and worked his way from there. Even now he is judicious with his time and tries to balance schoolwork with his charitable efforts.

For now, he is focused on running the 6 km Dream Run at the SCMM. “I have not really prepared for it specifically but at school we do a lot of running as part of soccer practice and that will help.”
He also has sound advice for other kids who want to spearhead their own causes; his advice is to find something one is passionate about. “You should not give up too easily. There will be many people who will tell you ‘no’. But that’s your cue to go and find more people who will say ‘yes’ and contribute.”

Inspiration-This Amazing Family Has Saved Hundreds of Wild Animals from Being Hunted and Also Lives with Them
Dr. Prakash Amte and his wife Dr. Mandakini Amte have an unusual way of living: they have set up a wild animal asylum in their courtyard. This couple has spent decades changing the lives of the local community in Hemalkhasa, Maharashtra, protecting tribespeople and the local fauna alike.For the Madia-Gond tribal community, hunting was not recreational — they survived on it. At the time of the encounter, Dr. Prakash requested the tribals to give him the baby monkey in return for rice and clothes. They reluctantly agreed.
No one guessed that Babli would be the first of the residents of Animal Ark, a shelter that Dr. Prakash and his family set up in their own courtyard that eventually became home to hundreds of orphaned and injured wild animals.
Dr.Prakash Amte’s son, Aniket, and grandson, Arnav.
One by one, jackals, leopards, jungle cats, common palm civets, rhesus macaques, sloth bears, giant squirrels, rat-tail langurs, four-horned antelopes, black buck antelopes, rat snakes, Indian pythons, crocodiles, monitor lizards, banded kraits, peacocks, a spotted deer, porcupines, and neelgai found their home at Animal Ark.
At one point, there were as many as 300 animals in the shelter, living amongst the members of the Amte family and villagers of Hemalkhasa.
Never before had wild animals lived in such close contact with humans. The issue became a matter of concern for the government. Objections were raised against the breeding of wild animals in village settings. Regulations demanded that the wild animals be caged. Aniket Amte, the doctor couple’s son who had a rather Jungle-book style childhood, describes how he preferred the way things were before the cages were erected.
Even with the cages, Animal Ark is more like an ‘asylum for animals’ than a zoo, with the unfettered love that Dr. Prakash and his family shower their adopted family with. Today, there are over 90 animals in the ark. The number of animals regularly brought to the Amte home has drastically reduced because the Madias hunt less.
The reason? Their lives have changed over the last four decades during which Dr. Prakash and Dr. Mandakini made devoted efforts for the betterment of the tribal people of Gadchiroli region.
Dr. Prakash also happens to be the son of Baba Amte, one of the greatest social reformers that our country has seen. While his father started Lok Biradari Prakalp and brought change to the lives of many leprosy patients in Anandwan, Dr. Prakash and Dr. Mandakini decided to move to Hemalkhasa to continue the tradition of working for social reform.
Hemalkhasa, cut off from the rest of the world with no roads or electricity, has long been home to he tribal community of Madia-Gond that lived in abject poverty. The tribes of this area knew no techniques of agriculture and were totally dependent on the forest for their food. They wore no clothes, suffered from malnutrition and had no access to medical care. Dr. Prakash and Dr. Mandakini set up a hospital where they treated tribal people for free. They started teaching the children from the community under a tree. Furthermore, they worked towards solving day-to-day problems of the villagers. The benefits of their work were reaped in the long run. Today the very children who studied under trees have become doctors, teachers, and engineers. The hospital is now equipped with modern facilities. The local school has a proper building and teaches over 400 tribal children. The tribal people have picked up agriculture and consequentially, they hunt less.
Dr. Prakash and Dr. Mandakini are not veterinarians; they are both doctors who went to medical school. The Animal Ark was not a part of the plan they had for their lives but they went beyond conventions to create an animal haven within their own courtyard.Dr. Prakash and Dr. Mandakini were awarded the Ramon Magsasay Award in 2008 for their work in Gadchiroli. With great simplicity and saint-like devotion, they continue their work in this remote village.

Inspiration-Do You Think Diabetes or Heart Disease Is A “Genetic Problem”?
Urban lifestyle has a drastic impact on individual health
The Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD) is a global organization committed towards raising awareness on Non Communicable Diseases. PFCD has been working in India for several years and aims to act as a catalyst to bring together all the relevant stakeholders in order to find sustainable solutions to address the growing disease burden.
Everyone needs to understand that our genes are just one factor, one cog in the wheel that takes us hurtling towards the path of lifestyle disease-dom. Kavita Devgan explores the multiple factors that cause lifestyle diseases, and how to overcome them.
Most of the time, we conveniently blame our genes for any health disorder that affects us. “Oh, both my aunts have diabetes, so I knew I would get it too,” a 35-year-old professional told me just last week. In fact, I hear this – or a variation of it – all the time.
While genetics definitely plays a role and there is no denying that at all, what everyone needs to understand is that our genes are just one factor causing lifestyle diseases. There are multiple other factors, mostly self-inflicted. For example, this 35-year-old was about 15 kilos overweight, and most of the extra weight was very obviously centred around his beer belly. He had a 9-to-9 job, was constantly stressed about work pressures, ate 18 meals out of 21 every week in a restaurant (or ordered takeaway), and the only exercise he got – or believed in – were the 10 steps he took from his main door to the car in the porch, and the reverse every evening. This kind of a lifestyle actually ticks every “not to do” diktat and primes even those without any family history of diabetes to get it sooner or later. “Get ready for high blood pressure and heart disease too, they are round the next corner,” I told him.
“No, no, I have no family history of those,” he said smiling.
The thing is, in his case, and actually for many of our generation, family history doesn’t even matter anymore. Our lifestyles are the main causes for the disorders and the non-communicable diseases (NCDs) we suffer. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), NCDs kill 38 million people each year. Cardiovascular diseases account for most NCD deaths (around 17.5 million people annually), followed by cancers (8.2 million), respiratory diseases (4 million), and diabetes (1.5 million). In fact, these four groups of diseases account for 82 % of all NCD deaths. All four are rampant, and all of them have their genesis in the kind of lifestyles we live and the kind of food we eat these days.
According to me, there are five common lifestyle red flags we need to think about and tackle.
1. We have simply stopped cooking at home. We use our gas stoves less and less and microwave (to reheat) more and more. This has a serious impact on the kind and quality of food we consume on a daily basis, which ups the danger substantially.
2. Most of us are overweight, and not doing anything about it. That is dangerous as being overweight can increase your risk substantially for certain cancers, in addition to the high changes of diabetes and heart disease.
3. Smoking and drinking (even a drink a day) is extremely common these days, and most people begin these really. This can raise the risk of most disorders (even cancer, by 12 % and 13 % respectively).
We consume additives (via processed foods) freely. A case in point is the recent storm over bread as a potential cause of cancer. A study by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) reported that a startling 84 % of bread and bakery samples collected from all over Delhi contained residues of cancer-causing chemical food additives like potassium bromate, potassium iodate, or both. Then in October, a study conducted by Kolkata-based All India Institute of Hygiene and Public Health (under the Health Ministry) found the presence of five toxins in soft drinks packaged in PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles.
All of these have serious consequences on our health. There are multiple other devils people are freely consuming out there. For example, researchers have linked thyroid cancer and clinical depression to tartrazine, found freely in sweets, orange drinks, cereals, chips, marmalades, etc. Yet, we fatalistically more or less accept them (some) as part of the food that we eat these days, and happily eat them.There is almost nil exercise happening. The common recommendation is just 30 minutes of some form of exercise, five days a week. How difficult is it to take out half an hour a day, if this can help keep us safe?
Being this careless is scary. We are literally self-inflicting problems with the messy lifestyles we live, and yet we conveniently blame it on our genes. To make my case, let me end with this. People often blame breast cancer on genes, but the fact is that about 85 % of breast cancers occur in women with no family history of breast cancer. So what is bringing on this and other epidemics? We need to ask ourselves, before it gets too late.

The Asia Pacific dance extravaganza
The inaugural edition of ABU International Television dance festival in Hyderabad is designed to introduce Asia Pacific region’s cultural diversity to the world audience, writes Madhavi Puranam.
The first International Dance Festival mounted by the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) with Prasar Bharati, Telangana government and Doordarshan as the organising partners, is set for a grand unveiling of dances from different countries of the Asia Pacific at the Shilpakala Vedika, Hyderabad. The concert will be telecast across the globe. This inaugural edition of the dance festival on January 15,aims at introducing the Asia Pacific region’s cultural diversity to the world audience. Taking centre stage will be young performers from countries like Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Fiji, Indonesia, India, Maldives, Mongolia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. The festival is slated to assume the format of a dance reality show on television in the coming years. The event is open to all; Doordarshan, Hyderabad can be contacted for the invites.
A preview of the colourful bouquet of dances gives a glimpse of unique groups like the Pashtun ethnic people whose dance dates way back to Zoroastrianism in Balkh (in northern Afghanistan) which was known as Bactria in ancient times. The dance originates from the times men danced round the fire reciting verses from the Avesta, a collection of the religious texts of Zoroastrianism.Uzundra from Azerbaijan will take the spectators through lyrical movements and music depicting the pangs of separation of the bride from her family and home. The Royal Ballet of Cambodia is set to display its spectacular dance theatre which originated in the royal courts and which was performed both for entertainment and as propitiation to gods.
The group from Tsinghua University of China promises an interesting fare with the production Blooming in the Storm, in the Chinese traditional dance idiom. The Meke dancers from Fiji are sure to enliven the ancient gods, battles and historical events. The characteristic body movements with rhythmic repetitive chanting, and the exotic costumes, promise a mesmerising fare that traditionally marks happy occasions and functions.Indonesia’s presentation Kabaret Baliano, inspired by the traditional Balinese dance, would be a fine example of tradition blending with modernity. Another dance that will be presented by them is the Bala Turangga, inspired by legendary horse troops of the 14-century Majapahit Kingdom era based on dynamic Javanese dances.The Malidivian traditional dance with its swaying movements to the beat of “Bodu Beru” would be an enriching experience. To the accompaniment of a variety of percussion instruments, the lead singer chants the lyrics and a chorus follows and claps to reach a crescendo. Dancing to this beat with innumerable variations reflects the rich culture of Maldives, which is an archipelago of more than 1900 islands.The Sugsraan Donj from Mongolia is an experimental fusion of traditional Biyelgee dance and modern music with a flavour of its ethnic roots. The life of the young herders from western Mongolian ethnic groups and their joys despite the rigors of life, are portrayed.
The troupe from Philippines will present a mosaic of dances like the Tinikling, Pangalay, Jota and Bangka. Uzbekistan’s Lezgi from the Khwarezm region, a lively dance that progresses into a scintillating pace, has been chosen to represent the country. The traditional Vietnamese show will comprise the different forms performed in the theatre, opera, festivals and the courts.Last but not the least, India will be represented by Andaz e Raqs of the group Aamad, choreographed by Rani Khanam in the traditional category, and Chaitanya by Sadhya - A Unit of Performing Arts, choreographed by Santosh Nair, in the contemporary dance category.
With such a variety laid out for one evening, this festival promises to be a visual and aural fiesta which would no doubt delight the fine sensibilities of the Hyderabadis, more so the dance lovers.

Inspiration-From Rs 8,000 to Rs 500 cr – The entrepreneurial journey of Amit Daga.
Amit today boasts that DBM Marketing is an authorised distributor for various Consumer Durable and IT (CDIT) products and authorised partner of multi-national brands like Samsung, Philips, HP, Lenovo, Whirlpool, and Havells.A college pass out Amit Daga, who was looking to make an identity, embarked on his entrepreneurial journey at the young age of 19 with a seed capital of Rs 8,000. He started a distribution business named ‘DBM marketing’ in 1999. In the early years, as for most entrepreneurs, Amit’s journey was not a smooth ride. He started selling customised Luxor pens to corporates in various commercial towers in Gurgaon.

Amit partially attributes Rohit Mathur, the Regional Manager of Parker Pens India, as his source of inspiration to move forward.
Rohit taught him the ropes of institutional sales and how to hold presentations in front of corporate clients and create a saleable value proposition.
The revolution and the acceptance of E-commerce in India stimulated Amit to give a thought of converting the offline distribution model into an online one and came up with the idea of Deal Kya Hai? in 2011. DBS Marketing earlier used to source the products from manufacturers and then distributes it to the retail network. Now, with this online portal, the company is selling pan India with the technology and logistics partnership.Amit said that 90 percent of the total sales come from E-commerce platforms including Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal and Shopcleus. Currently Deal Kya Hai? is working with eight brands and has tied up with few logistics partners like Delhivery, Bluedart,FedEx, Aramexand First Light.
Amit strongly believes that continuous innovation is the motivation factor to push the limits and raise the bar.
The company has offices/warehouses in Delhi, UP, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. It has a team of 48 employees.Deal Kya Hai? has recorded Rs 125 crore turnover in the last year and this year it is expected to cross over Rs 500 crore.

Doordarshan to offer 104 DTH channels from March-end
By March-end, Doordarshan will be coming out with new set-top boxes for enhancing the number of existing channels from 80 to 104. To expand its DTH platform, Doordarshan plans to come out with new set-top boxes having MPEC-4 technology and provide 104 channels by March-end, its director general Supriya Sahu said Sunday. ‘Free Dish’, its DTH platform, at present has 20 million subscribers, and is the market-share leader among the seven DTH players in the country, she said.
“The new initiative is that we are introducing conditional access system in our set-top boxes. We are getting into a new technology which is MPEC-4. So by March-end, we will be coming out with new set-top boxes for Doordarshan enhancing the number of existing channels from 80 to 104,” Sahu told PTI.She also said five channels of Doordarshan - National, News, Sports, Kisan and local–are now available through digital terrestrial transmission (DTT).“DTT is already available in 16 cities. By the end of March this year, DTT will be available in Hyderabad, Srinagar and Thiruvananthapuram. By 2018, other 44 cities will become digital (where DTT will then be available),” she said. DTT allows Doordarshan viewers to watch channels for free on their Android mobile phones with a small dongle (available online and at some shops), and no Internet or data connectivity is needed, said Sahu.
She was here in connection with the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union’s first edition of international television film festival, hosted by Prasar Bharati. “We have capacity for ten channels (through DTT),” she said, adding that once IIM Ahmedabad, entrusted with the task of preparing a business plan on DTT roadmap, gives its report by March first week, Doordarshan would decide on its strategy of providing additional five channels through DTT.

Celebrating Sankranti through classic melodies
On the occasion of Makar Sankranti, a musical bonanza 'Sankrant Rajni' was organized by city psychiatrist Dr Avinash Joshi, founder of Museum of Brain and Mind. Tanuja Nafde, a semi-classical Hindustani music singer and faculty at RS Mundle College, headlined the event held at Scientific Society Hall, Laxmi Nagar, on Saturday evening. She began with raag Yaman in vilambit dhun. She followed it with a tarana and thumri, 'Saware aijaiyo.' Rambhau Khandwe, chief of Janardan Swami Yogabhyasi Mandal and noted playwright Dr Ranjan Darvekar were the chief guests at the event. Janardan Swami Yogabhyasi Mandal has been rendering free yoga to all for the past sixty years while Darvekar helms Ranjan Kala Mandir and has performed and directed many plays.
Nafde is known for her album Rang Do (2011) for which she had collaborated with Hariharan. She has represented 'India at Peace' concert in Moscow and done several concerts in India. She was accompanied by Prabhakar Dhakde on violin, Sandeep Gurnule on harmonium and Sandesh Popatkar on tabla. "Dhakde is a known name when it comes to violin. Sandesh Popatkar is a famous when it comes to tabla. Nafde is my music teacher and I wanted to help spread knowledge about her talent. She deserves solo shows and opportunities," said Joshi, who also conceptualized the show. Well-known sitarist and haematologist Dr Shriram Kane helmed the other half of the show, playing soothing melody in raag 'Vachaspati.' Kane has been playing sitar since the age of five. He has performed at several concerts in India and is an 'A' grade artiste at All India Radio. "He is a childhood friend and is immensely talented," adds Joshi, who himself is an amateur singer and pursuing MA in music.
Museum of Brain and Mind is an initiative by Joshi to contribute to psychiatry by providing people information about workings of brain free of charge by showing its facets like its anatomy, physiology, psychology, psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery, parapsychology, philosophy, sexuality and spirituality. In this museum, an attempt has been made to show all its facets through displays, written in simple Hindi, using ample self-illustrated and bright images.

Inspiration-How a Street Sweeper and His Wife Built Britain’s Largest Indian Food Empire.
Laxmishanker Pathak and his wife, Shanta Gaury, were pioneers of the food revolution that made Indian cuisine one of Britain’s most popular cuisine. The couple, who began by making Indian snacks in a tiny kitchen, went on to found the Patak’s, Britain’s biggest Indian food brand.
Here is the fascinating story of how an Indian street sweeper and his wife went on to found one of Britain’s most successful Asian food empires.
Back in the 1940s, Laxmishanker Pathak and his family had been driven by grinding poverty from their village in Gujarat. Encouraged by the colonial authorities, they left India to set up home in Kenya. In 1945, he married Shanta Gaury Pandit and soon the couple were blessed with six children, four sons and two daughters.

The money Laxmishanker earned was barely enough to feed the family of eight. Soon, he realised that selling Indian food on the streets might be a better way of providing for his family, thanks to the burgeoning market for Asian food in London. In Kenya, too, they had run an Indian sweets and snacks business.When they started getting home delivery orders, they were unable to afford a delivery boy. Instead, their six-year-old son Kirit began work as an errand boy.By the late 1950s they had saved enough money to buy a small shop behind Euston Station in London. Later, they opened another in Bayswater in 1961. However, it wasn’t an easy journey and the Pathaks had to face their own share of hurdles and hardships.
In 1965, the business had to face another crisis when a huge over-ordering of vegetables by a factory manager almost resulted in bankruptcy. To try to rectify the situation, the Pathaks decided to process the vegetables. Disaster was turned to triumph when the resulting pickles and chutneys sold so well that they were added to the existing product range. Other lines followed, including a range of curry pastes, many of them based on Shanta’s family recipes.The business flourished and began taking orders not only from individual households and restaurants but also from shops, businesses and even the Indian high commission. In 1976, Laxmishanker handed over control of the business to Kirit, having passed to his son a unique knowledge of vegetables and spices.Meena, Kirit’s wife, had a degree in Food Technology and Hotel Management, and soon became the creative force behind the Patak’s brand.
Laxmishanker Pathak died in 1997 while Shanta Gaury passed away in 2010. However, their culinary legacy remains as popular as ever with the company controlling more than a quarter of Britain’s billion-pound Indian food industry.With Patak’s now supplying curry pastes, chutneys, pickles and pappadums for about 90% of Britain’s 10,000 Indian restaurants, it is not too much of an exaggeration to say Patak’s is responsible for the taste of Britain’s Saturday-night Indian dinner. The company also supplies curries, sauces, pickles and breads to more than 40 countries, including India.
