012----General Stduies

During my experience of working as the Principal  of Govt. IAS/PCS competitive Preparation Center and with the result oriented approach learnt ,I came to this conclusion that the candidates in the North  basically suffers because of lack of proper guidance expected to be taken before a start.The first step is to take the expertise guidance either through the Good center or those selected in the service.The experience gained by me convinces that the General Studies create a problem.Even if there is better preparation,the imbalanced approach in the preparation is reflected on the candidates. Sometimes,Areas of interest pay a lot ,whereas the uncooked materials or partly prepared put forth a challenge.For example,the northern candidates find it difficult while preparing the history of south India ,or vice- versa, In the same way,the science background make it suffering in the arts stream or ice versa.This year about 10 lakhs students appeared,in such a difficult situation ,even a single point has its say.During our student life,the books or the guidance from the experts were the only approach and it consumed a major portion of the time ,but now technology has made the availability of the materials easy and not only so,the Information explosion is another challenge,in the sense that all the material can not be prepared,but that what is important involves three steps;- namely--Selection of the materials.(2)then,Collection and (3) Preparation with the regular intervals of assessment period.The well-defined strategy is further involved.I feel that this is not difficult to get through ,but coming out with the flying colors out of 10 lakh candidate is no less a big surprise.

To make it a surprise,definitely,Hard work as well as strategy play an important role.So far as ,General studies are concerned,other than factual questions ,the distance in between most appropriate and appropriate makes difference.For that,really ,practice too is important.

We shall discuss further the next steps,but let us wait for your reaction first.You may write to me rbsinghraju@gmail.com.

011-Election in J&K

011-----This is really a good news that lThe Election in J & K

This is really a good news that the free and fare election held in the J&K very recently proved the maturity of the electorate and surprisingly more than 77% people turned out for the voting,ranging from 70% to 89%.This is a big defeat for the separatist and complete failure for the foreign agents who make much hue and cry all the time.The separatist killed many a innocent people .Their game was basically related to killing the people of other religion and give the muslim identity to the state and with the help and support from Pakistan ,they felt that they would be a success.The separatist issued the warnings that the people must remain to their home and boycott the election,But the brave people of J&K cared for nothing and came forward participating in the election process and made it a success.The alertness on the part of our armed forces and unearthing of the mass of weapons before and during the election deserve not only praise ,but thanks from the whole nation.Our strength is our people who bring the change.The people enjoy the real freedom and understand their own power.The democratic temperament remains in the blood.

However,this has frustrated Pakistan and the separatist leaders who did everything to make the election process to be hurdled.But complete failure.This is because of the charismatic personality of the Prime Minister who understands the problems of the people in J&K who after coming to power has visits after visits  to the state every month ,whereas nobody could do so earlier.The understanding the problem of the people in the valley and utmost support to them enabling them for their developmental work is something beyond description.In the 21st century ,people want peace,prosperity and their development.Not only the J&K proved so,but the whole Nation under the leadership of the Prime Minister.ectorate and surprisingly more than 77% people turned out for the voting,ranging from 70% to 89%.This is a big defeat for the separatist and complete failure for the foreign agents who make much hue and cry all the time.The separatist killed many a innocent people .Their game was basically related to killing the people of other religion and give the muslim identity to the state and with the help and support from Pakistan ,they felt that they would be a success.The separatist issued the warnings that the people must remain to their the election process and made it a success.The alertness on the part of our armed forces and unearthing of the mass of weapons before and during the election deserve not only praise ,but thanks from the whole nation.Our strength is our people who bring the change.The people enjoy the real freedom and understand their own power.The democratic temperament remains in the blood.

"The man who wins is the man who thinks ,he can".

"The man who wins is the man who thinks ,he can".

The message given by the President of America T.Roosevelt clearly indicates that the positive approach in life always brings success and this is true too.When I was student,I read an article published in the Sarvottam Readers Digest that an American amateur prepared a list of about 160 targets of his life during his childhood days.When grown up ,he shared them with all.Leaving a few like his wish to visit moon etc was not a success,But what he got ,he felt satisfied.The Indian philosophy also emphasis the fact that win-win situation leads us,if we take a pledge and according to the nature of the field of the choice,work and energy is utilized.Besides,too the Opportunity comes at the doorstep of everyone,those asleep faces a lot of problems and repentance in life ,whereas those awaken make the most of the this and becomes the icon of others too.The Indian prime Minister Modiji is one of the example,who once made the arrangement for the journalist for a programme,has today lakhs of journalist just for click of him and feel proud of having a talk with him.

No doubt,in the age of management,we undertake other projects and try our level best for the success,the same case lies with the life also.This is great Project where we have to include personal excellence,Professional commitment and Service to Society keeping in mind this great statement as narrated by someone,"The excellent  mind innovate and implement the ideas,Average mind discuss the events and poor mind discuss the people".The secret to success lies here ".Like Julius Ceaser,one has to think,"I came,I saw and I conquered".and to further it in the words of Robert browning,"I was ever a fighter,So one fight more".Hence,good we think and good we do and Let us rest assured,Goodness with brilliant success shall come to us."

07-----Pakistan's Attitude

07------------------Yesterday night,How awesome was it to watch the live debate on the "Times chhanel",when we heard a Pakistani retd.Admiral frankly admiiting that  Pakistan shall go to anybody else;even shaking hands with Taliban or others and will not allow us to live in  peace,if they are misfortunate and patting his back ,he uttered that India is scrared of Pakistani army and ISI.On our Defence Minister's warning that "any adventurism"shall be unaffordable,infuriated the pakistani Govt. and the bluff ,threat ,intimidation  after intimidation started  pouring in and reaching any threshold shall compel them for the use of Nuclear war.Every body shall laugh at this comment .Our military experts feel that the limited war due to various issues  shall lead to war one day,but Nuclear is no option.In case ,as a  last resort ,if it happens ..Pakistan;1/5 th of our territory and equal to the population of UP state only  may cause us a great harm ,but with limited in depth and easy vulnerability of pakistan for its loss on the major scale is not being discussed with by their military experts..However ,it seems that Pakistan is becoming dysfunctional state with its head as poor fellow who always  fail in his diplomacy and maintaining the administratively  strong control,it hapened in the kargil war also.The easy way of diverting the attention of the people ,the Pakistan Govt.harp on the India,trying to win or rather divert people's attention.But,how far shall it sustain with,any General might have been in the search of becoming Gen.Parvez Musarraff ,,though a very discredited man today.

Since there were 62 time violation of ceasfire and not only so even ,the exchange of sweetmeats on the occasion of Bakar-Eid was not entertained.The failure on their part of internationalising the issue has rather frustrated them ,and terrorising the people by sending their own men as terrorists and killing innocent people brought them nothing ,but made us strong to fight them back and uprooting from our land and further complete failure of their diplomacy is the resultant of enslaving themselves into the hands of their own army.Whenever any duly elected Govt.comes to power inPakistan,the internal or rather immature democratic values there make them subservient to the army ;known for de-estabiling the Govt .as happened earlier too.Mia Nawaj Sharif wearing imported clothes and costly shoes ,as their TV shows criticised  who takes much care of himself ,rather than the people of Pakistan.,seems to them easy prey.Besides,the failure on the domestic fronts gives them a kashmir issue which is a sensitive issue there and more sensitive to us too.Simply diverting the people attention brings them in confrontation with India.The people of India are very strong and political infights are but the reflection of matured democracy.Earlier too,the PrimeMinister was unanimously supported by all including all the political parties too, when confronted with pakistan.Duly elected strong Govt.and one voice once again confirms the strong retaliation which,even Admiral admitted is not good in anybody's interest.The recent happenings on the borders have caused a great havoc killing innocent people and loss of property on the both sides.The whole land of Pakistan belongs to India,but division as happened in 1947 shall not repeat itself.The previous war fought caused a lot of damage ;still being realized.The war fought now shall cause global impact,Pakistan must realize it.The patting their back because of the nuclear weapon they have must also make them understand that India is hydrogen power and fully capable of destroying their own weapons on their land itself resulting in heavy casulties and loss of their irreparable economy and no doubt,the repurcussions to us shall also have long lasting effect.

The opposition in Pakistan must realize that they failed to win the people's mandate and in order to come to power ,they must  learn the lesson from our opposition .Their opposition must support their Govt.in resolving the issues like Education to all,Poverty,Unemployment,control on terror ,floods,Health programmes and basic amenities to all etc.

Since they are our neighbour ,definitely,core issues shall remain alive all the time and one solution for ever is never possible,the Democracy is mature in India ,everybody now believes in development here,so the Govt.of Pakistan must realize it and learn lesson for their people and avoid the blunt diplomacy of venom -filling against India. 

However,one very good news has come from Swedon ,when two persons-Malala Yusufzai and Ganesh satyarthi have won nobel-prize for peace ,thus beginning a new Era ,for the Prize goes to peace.Let us wait for the good results coming out of the contribution from these important bodies,whom we can now congratulate with a new hope ----and new result.

RBSChauhan

003----------------(Obesity-Health)-----The    people ,now-a-days,like to prefer the food intake based on taste value and forget the  food value resulting into obesity .Kautilya says--------------
                               vkpkj % dqyek[;kfr  ns”kek[;kfr Hkk’k.ke A

                               lEHkze% Lusgek[;kfr o iqjk[;kfr Hksktue AA                                                     " Man's conduct and behavior tells us about his family,Speech explains his nation,Honor and respect shows love and affection and no doubt,Body speaks of his food---" Who would like his stomach/ belly growing out of way  ;result of too much eating--------------------?

                                             This is clear that our eatables decide our health .Small children  have been seen victims of the obesity the world over ,which is of grave concern.The changed life style,so humorously called modern style has given us more to suffer rather than to be  benefited . The Food habits are beyond control and without any standard.Whatever is available and whenever anything is seen,only concern is to eat and finish it.The Fast-food or Junk Food,has come in to being with much pomp and show  and their beautifully presentations allure one and all .Generally on the different occasion,people like to eat it forgetting that coming moments shall cause him /her numerous diseases  Besides,The family-members are becoming lazy and idle and do not take much interest in preparing the proper food ,but remain dependent on the fast food which they think ,saves the time,but the harm does not draw their  attention.

The fastly - changing civilization and the metros coming into existence  provide the packaged food or bring before us the fast or junk food.It needs to be checked immediately.It is said ,one chocolate is sufficient for us to walk upto one km in order to burn the fat ,we get in it.Scientific studies confirm of the storing of fats in the body which is mainly through fast  / junk food/cold drinks/Cheese/Ice-cream and it ultimately results into fatness or obesity.

The increase of the fat in the body and  less consumption is  comparatively  or Fat being deposited in the body is the other name of obesity.Merely an increase of   03kg weight  in body causes the additional weight -increase of 10 kg  on the knees  resulting in osteoporosis,blood sugar,heart-problems,gout,Mal-function by thyroid gland etc.,The need of the hour is to be aware of the ill-effects of Obesity.

However,no need to worry .the change is brought by the man in world.Whatever happened,is happened.The coming days may be the days of the relief.The sterling faith and staunch will power lead us to achieve anything in the life.The chart as per Calorie and follow up action may begin immediately.Besides,In India,The Beautiful picture ever taken  ; rather during the youth days,may be pasted on the place which attracts and draws our attention and efforts may be revived to control the obesity.Giving importance on food value in the place of taste value and chewing the food  and eating it slowly are suggestive  .Quite often,Taste makes us forget everything and too much eaten ,that too in this fast pace of life,is really unforgivable.Life is precious and of course our body machine more than that .Prepared with too much oil may be replaced by  steam-baked / grilled / boiled / ripe / or soya or olive  oil are to be preferred.At many a places,people like lai (baked rice)-gram which is useful to body.Exercises / Asans / Pranayam / cycling / swimming / Jogging / Eve-Morning walk / playing / or other sports activities /or use of lukewarm water  are good to health.The measuring   weight time to time  is welcome as and when required.Attention is to be paid during the parties/festivals/occasions.

Drinking water time and again throws out the waste from the body.Potato(latest research confirm of otherwise regarding Potato)/Biscuits/sweets/sugar be under the control and strictly as per the Dr.advice.Fruits like 

1-----Apple --------------------(Full of fiber, vitamins,minerals,and after all,it activates metabolism).

2-----Pine-apple-----( Fibers,no cholesterol,anti-oxidant,minerals  and has 85 % of water )

3----Coco-nut------(fb, ABC Vitamins ,no cholesterol or fat ,source of immediate energy,and improves digestion ).

4-----Avocado--------(9 fatty acid ,fat coverts into energy )

5----Grapes-------(juicy,fb ,C easily digestible)

6-----Straw-berry-----(Harmon available reduces fat,less calorie,beneficial to heart)

7----Water melon-----(92 % water. fb,anti-oxidant,C & A,Lichopin--Found useful in reducing weight up-to 33 %.)

Some of The above-cited fruits and many a others have minerals,vitamins,increase the blood circulation,Make the immune system strong,Improve digestion,and toxins in body are thrown out.

Besides,oranges, (but avoid banana or under control ) ,Vegetables and salad including ,Carrot,Tomato,Onion,broccoli  etc are suggested too.Watching TV too much further makes the situation critical and if more than 01 hour a day results in our behavior becoming aggressive ,obdurate and sticky.Besides,watching and eating ;both together can not run .It invites too much eating.

Listening music ; both vocal or instrumental,consuming energy , mental exercises like chess,puzzle solving,badminton or running brings a lot of benefits.Be happy attitude is welcome.In USA,one programme on thinking ;positive and negative was conducted .Positive is like chain reaction involving and increasing the positivism,making the relation happy and healthy.Extreme Negativity  compels  the person either to commit   suicide or make him mad to do wrongs to others ;both the crime of heinous nature and condemned word wide.Depression,giddiness,Tension etc. mars our life, they need to be controlled.

About 2 arab(200million) people are still the prey of mal-nutrition and 1.4  arab (million)children suffering from the increase in the weight and in totto , the obesity has gripped 250 crore(25million) children.87 crore(million) children do not get food as per calorie.The Govts. have to spend about 2100 arab dollar only on the fight against the mal-nutrition.The report published by the  AFO ,UNO is surprising that the world is going in the grip of Junk   /fast food resulting into obesity and mal-nutrition.The coming days shall adversely affect the world economy and the govts may be bound to spend 5 % of their GDP or upto 3500 arab dollar.Hence,Let us be alert from the taste value products,Strive for the food value products needs to be developed right from beginning.

Nothing wrong is there in doing exercises,yog and pranayam,taking Green tea, Being More active,Drinking a lot of water,Enjoying the sound sleep,Eating the Fresh food and vegetables,Chewing the food in order to make it more liquid in the mouth ,intake of juicy products,Going to Zim,Even involving in the co-curricular activities like Dancing,singing,Playing in the field,or Going on Morning and Evening walk etc. or what the Dr.suggests us to do !,For Health is real wealth !
