We will now seek the support of various corporates in Electronic City to carry forward this campaign.” “Horn Not Ok Please was a campaign Young Indians launched in 2006. Since then we have looked at various activities across the Airport, Koramangala and Indira Nagar. This is our first endeavour to look at an area becoming a Horn Not OK Zone. Over 750 drivers responded to our campaign today and took the pledge to not use their horn unnecessarily. We are sure that with time we would be able to reduce Horn Use to only emergencies in the Electronic City Area.”, Shared Dr Kaushik Murali, Chair Young Indians CII Bangalore and President Sankara Eye Hospitals, India.

The horn is there for a purpose and use it only to alert another car or pedestrian about to hit you, or to alert a car at a traffic signal. It is not be used to express anger or for fun. “Most citizens consider honking inevitable, it is to the contrary.

E
have “POTENTIAL EXISTENCE” , then only it can emerge as something. All the organic compounds in our world come from four elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Do not ask me “HOW THESE FOUR ELEMENTS CAME INTO BEING?”, because I DO NOT KNOW, nor our scientific forefathers & fathers too. The origins of life & the universe are still a mystery. What was there before LIFE & the UNIVERSE is still anybody’s guess. Umpteen possible explanations are there but to no use. What was there before the BIG BANG? What caused the big bang & how? None can be deemed to satisfy the scientific community. From these FOUR simple elements or ingredients have developed the marvelous chains of self-replicating proteins that fill the planets with jungles, gardens, farms, the swarming life of sea, and nearly SEVEN billion people. Each of us contain all human possibilities within ourselves. Nothing that we do comes from nowhere; we all have the capacity for goodness as well as great selfishness and blindness. The, choice at every moment, is ours. WHAT WILL WE USE OUT OF OUR FORMIDABLE REPERTOIRE OF RESPONSE? Most of us have a pattern of responses that we are comfortable with. Our habitual behavior saves us from the discomfort of always having to make a choice. But in exchange for comfort, we give up a little bit of spontaneity, really a serious matter of concern. Every once in a while, it is good for us to become aware of what our habits are, and what determines our usual behavior. IF NOT WE CAN GET IMMERSED IN THE WELL OF COMFORT, with no possible evolution of the species! - Chandrasekhara, resident of 3rd Block, Koramangala

from the main road. Aanejari Butterfly Camp is in the Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary consisting of 247 sq kms. This sanctuary borders with Sharavati Wildlife Sanctuary and is all a proud part of the 38,720 sq kms of Karnataka Forests. Our State is proud to have lots of eco-adventure, eco-tourism activities. The general public are made aware of their responsibilities to nature and animals. This Camp is a 'no litter' and 'no plastic' zone, so are all forest areas! One is allowed to stay a maximum of 3 days out here. It's good for small groups, there are no plans to expand the staying facilities out here, there is a cap on development. There's a small children's play area and exclusive parking area. The zones are divided and discipline is maintained. Silence is much appreciated. This is not a picnic zone. Big game animals are not sighted here. Birds and Butterflies are sighted and one has to adhere to

trekking and sighting rules.The staff are knowledgeable and guide you. It's a good weekend retreat bonding with nature. Closeby are temples, beaches, camping and trekking zones. One can spend a extra long weekend out here. The nearest railway station is Mookambika Road, airport is Mangalore 60 Kms away. Public transport like buses, jeeps and cabs are plenty. You mark Dharmastala as your destination and get off at the Camp Site, few kilometres before. Like l always say, better and good time with your own transport. Don't forget to pack your cameras, binoculars, good shoes, warm clothes, mosquito repellent, rain wear, battery packs, flash light etc. and carry cash - Digital India is yet to make indoors here. People around here are simpletons. Your Rupee has a lot of value. The cuisine is local coastal south Indian Mangalorean and Udupi its predominantly vegetarian. Selected places have good sea food cuisine. Enjoy the village and forest experience of western ghats and coastal Karnataka. Our forests were earlier game and hunting zones of royalty and the colonial British, royals from as far as Russia would come to hunt, later this moved to people in power, the politicians. Now the game is Photography and Eco-Adventure Tourism, Camping, Trekking, Rafting etc. All peaceful. We have come to live with nature and peace after losing quite a bit of natural fortune. Do make a list of forests you need to visit, tick one of your bucket list each year. Indian forest tourism has a lot to offer. Journey into a different experience each time,your experience will not be the same as others. Each one will have a different story to tell.Capture your memories on your camera for posterity.

Highlights of the Union Budget 2018-119 Nagaveena manjunatha
T
he Union budget of India also referred to as the annual financial statement in the constitution of India which gives the estimated receipts and expenditure of the government for that particular year. It keeps the account of the government’s finances for the fiscal year that runs from 1st april to 31st March. Union budget can be categorized as a revenue budget and capital budget. Revenue budget incorporates government’s revenue receipts and expenditure for example expenditure incurred on day to day functioning of the government. Capital budget includes receipts and payments of the government, for example loans from foreign government and public. Central government is constitutionally required to lay an “annual financial statement” before both the houses of the parliament. The budget this time is considered as the biggest economic event of the year with the elections at the doorstep. This budget is also portrayed as the game changer and as a catalyst in the objective of retaining power in the coming parliamentary elections. This budget is considered as a booster dose for rural India and bitter-pill for investors as per the economists. The budget has favoured the rural populous but the financial market is little disappointed. It is a mix bag of both expectations and a few surprises. The government claims that the appeal was primarily to sections that make up for the poor, farmers, young job seekers, senior citizens and lower middle class people. Some of the highlights are: Q Health sector has been hugely benefited. The announcement of Rs. 5 lakhs health care insurance each for 10 crores families has made this sector a buzzword of 2018-19 budget. Q This budget has given a substantial focus on agricultural sector. The government is committed to double the farmers’ income by 2022. It is also helping the farmers with the price support and implementation of MSP (Minimum Support Price) for all crops has been hiked 1.5 times of production cost. Coverage of “phasal bheema yojana” to go up from 40% to 50% of cropped area. Q LPG connection will be provided for around 8 crore woman under UJWALA scheme, which is appreciable. Q Emoluments have been revised for president to 5 lakhs, 4 lakhs for vice president and 3.5 lakhs a month for governors. Emoluments to MP’s will also be revised with automatic revision every 5 years indexed to inflation.
Q Amrut program focuses on providing water supply to all households in 500 cities. Q The prominent tourist sites will be developed into iconic ones to boost the tourism. Q 2018 budget has bouquet of benefits for senior citizens. These include increase in tax exemption limit for interest income from banks and post offices from Rs. 10000/- to Rs 50000/-. Increase in tax break on health insurance and medical expenditure, would give a big relief to taxpayers as most senior citizens derive most of their income from bank FD’s and post office schemes. Q Budget 2018 has given suburban rail connectivity boosts for bangalore. Amount of Rs.17,000 crore would be spent on the development of 160 km of suburban railway network for Bengaluru, which was a very much required boost to country ‘s over crowded information Technology capital. Q The strain on the economy is mainly due to unemployment and the budget has promised to enhance the employment rate, but has not specified the sectors where surplus job opportunities can be created. Q The budget extends sops to micro, small and medium enterprises as part of the government’s efforts to bring businesses under the formal economic field. As they are labour intensive and the need of the hour is to create an enabling environment for them to invest and grow, creating jobs and pushing demand and growth. Though the reduction in tax rate to 25% for MSMEs who have reported turnover of upto 250 crores, will not create job prospectus but also expand their business by additional investments.. Q Over two crore toilets will be constructed across the country under swatch bharat mission. Q No personal income tax changes proposed in the budget and long term capital gains exceeding Rs 1 lakh will be taxed at 10% without indexing. Q Customs duty on certain products such as mobile and television has been increased to provide a fillip to ’make in India’. Besides ensuring easy access to bank loans, the government is working on measures to address the bad loans and stressed accounts of MSMEs. Government in this budget has given importance to development of rural areas, infrastructure and poverty alleviation. On the whole, with the elections close by, the union budget has addressed the various priorities of Indian economy. It has well addressed social sector priorities while maintaining fiscal discipline.
Cryptocurrency:
Vulnerabilities
Manjunatha K
B
itcoin or any other cryptocurrency is just a token (crypto-code) that is released as a reward to the miner for spending electricity to validate the transaction. Miners can exchange this with the currency of their choice in the marketplace. Unlike any other currency, there is always a threat that someone may steal it. This indicates that Bitcoin needs to be protected! As there is no trusted third party ,like banks who can give guarantee, it is the responsibility of the Bitcoin/ cryptocurrency owners to safeguard their own coins. BItcoin is just a crypto-code, if you lose your cryptocode, you lose your bitcoin, it cannot be regenerated again. There are different ways to preserve your Bitcoins. Each has its own advantages and risks associated with it. 1. Leave it in the exchanges: Most of the Cryptocurrency exchanges maintain users’ bitcoins in a secure storage and provide a dashboard for the user to know how much they have. It is very easy, but the cryptocode (private key) is stored in the exchange; you will not have the private key, so will not know exactly what is happening with your coin. Bitfinex in Hong Kong has been hacked and around $66 Million worth Bitcoin has been stolen in 2016 and Mt.gox exchange of Tokio has been hacked in 2014 and $340 Million worth bitcoins has been stolen. Also few exchanges have shut their doors. In such cases people lose money. 2. Store it in the computer or mobile: Though the Bitcoin (Private key) is in your computer or in your mobile phones, there are some people always trying to hack computers and mobiles using malware to steal the Bitcoin. When you connect to the internet and access some websites or links, it may run some malware and steal the private key. Also if hard disk crashes or if you lose your mobile device, coins will be lost.
3. Store in a secondary hard drive or pen drive: This has the same risk when you connect to computer for trading. There are chances that hard drive may crash; Pen drive may get corrupted. 4. Paper wallet: The crypto-code can be written on a paper, called paper wallet. This can be safely stored in a locker where no other member can steal; However there are chances that while generating the paper wallet, someone hack into the computer can steal the coin. Also if someone takes the photo of your paper wallet can steal your coin. 5. Hardware Wallet: As of now the hardware wallets are found to be most secured as the BItcoin(private key) do not leave the device. BItcoin Wallets are intelligent devices that generate the transaction key using the private key and do not copy the private key to the computer or any other device connected to it. Some of the wallets also provide recovery mechanisms using multiple security codes when you lose them. As the cryptocurrencies do not need Bank’s or Government’s intervention for the value transaction. Government's of all nations across the globe are closely monitoring cryptocurrencies to avoid money laundering and innocent people getting cheated. Every government is trying to bring change in various policies related to the trade of cryptocurrencies. Some have announced ban on Bitcoin, however some others have warned and brought the cryptocurrency users under their radar. People in various countries do not have clarity on what is the government’s stand on the cryptocurrency. If government ban cryptocurrency their coins in the exchange may suddenly become unaccessible! On top these technical and regulatory challenges there are huge fluctuations in the value of cryptocurrencies in the market, causing uncertainties in the minds of the people.
