TECHNOLOGY ACTS As a gateway to success for many organizations By: Deepankar Gharami | AARUSH GOC PVT LTD

T

he world we are living in is the digital world. Technology defines the success and failure of any organization. Those who adopt technology will succeed and those who delay this adoption will eventually be driven to extinction. Not long ago, Kodak was a very successful organization in the field of photography, supplying films. However, technology took the better off it as digital photography gained dominance and Kodak being oblivious to the changing technology. We do realize the importance of technology and how it can make or break any organization. Digital world, digital era and digital everything- that is today’s reality. We are all striving hard to digitalize everything possible, with a click or tap, the world is in our hands and in our cell phones.

Technology acts as a gateway to success for many organizations. One such organization which has harnessed technology successfully is AARUSH GOC PVT LTD. Founded by a 20 years old boy, Deepankar in 2008, AGOC ventured into Fuel Saver for Vehicles. Deepankar, being a visionary, realised the changing world around him and the importance of technology, and stepped into the digital world by launching Anti Theft Mobile Tracker (ATMT Pro) in 2017.

try. However, adoption of mobile by every age group gave him his breakthrough idea. After realising the widespread adoption of mobile among the youth, he decided to develop a mobile application named Anti Theft Mobile Tracker to meet the needs of the youth. This decision has been the sole deciding factor in his career and he has scaled one success after the other. He was the winner of ‘Indian Leadership Award 2019’, initiated by none other than BLINDWINK, famous for its predictions, as most of the personalities felicitated with this award have been amongst the most successful personalities.

Deepankar is deeply inspired by Steve Jobs and lives by his words“Great things in business are never done by one person. They are done by a team of people”. Inspiration from Steve Jobs reflects in the vision of his organization- “A Global Leader is Brands and technologies”.

To be a global leader, one has to be the best in everything they do and it is what everyone in this organization aspires. To achieve the vision laid down by the Company, to become a global leader in mobile application, they have defined four strategic priorities; OutperformGlobalize- Simplify- Inspire.

LINA SAVUR Not content with the way things are going on the world, Lina is on board with revolution and innovation, far ahead of her times and age.

Her drive, passion and inclination towards the teaching profession is unimaginable and is a reality check. Managing it all so effortlessly, her life, achievements, adopted child and her dream school, she has herself gone through more than her share of ups and downs. Nevertheless, she persisted. Let’s meet with the spirit of humanity and entrepreneurship, Lina, a born leader, award winning Certified Life Coach and founder of ‘La Fenix’- a Coaching Institute.

Ql. Tell us about yourself?

I’m a certified Life Coach with a niche in Career Coaching. I was always inclined to the teaching profession since I belong to a family of educators and that’s one of the reasons I’m a Trainer and Coach. What very few people know about me is that I was a Teacher of a Secondary School - MLA School for 2 years after I completed my B.Ed. My mother never forced me into anything; she was a wise soul. She always said, “This is your Life and you’ve got to experience every bit of it on your own”. The only thing she forced me into doing was my B.Ed. and I did graduate with a distinction.

Once I get myself involved in something, I give it my l 00%; nothing more, nothing less.

D Q2. What is your Education & Family Background?

I’m from Bangalore, completed my schooling from Cluny Convent, Malleshwaram and graduated from Mount Carmel College. I completed College and started flight with Air Sahara. I worked with Air Sahara for a year and then did my IATA and Trainer The Trainer certification 16

from IATA Montreal and since then I’ve been a Trainer. After 7 years, I transitioned into becoming a Coach.

My mother was an Educationist and headed a School for a little more than 5 decades until she passed on in December 2019.

My father is an International Billiards and Snooker Player and Coach. He has Coached practically 95% of the players who are on the international snooker scene today. He is referred to as “The Father of Modern Snooker in India” by the press.

He’s a legend in his own rig ht.

And my daughter has been promoted to Grade 1. She is my pride and joy.

D Q3. You are a Certified Trainer & Coach.

What differentiates you from the others?

Firstly, it is very important to know the difference between a Trainer, Coach, Mentor, Counsellor etc. These terms are all different and yet they are used synonymously.

I used to be a Trainer and now I’m a Coach. It does not mean I’ve stopped Training. All Coaches can be Trainers but it’s not necessary that all Trainers end up becoming a Coach.

So in our country there are two categories of Coaches; those who have certificates and they start their Coaching business June 2021

and the second are self proclaimed Coaches. They’ve had way too many experiences in Life and survived so they end up with a goal to help others and touch lives.

As a Life Coach, one of the most important things to remember is that every person’s lifestyle is very specific based on several factors; upbringing, culture, education, belief systems etc. So, the general information from books cannot be applied to every single client who walks into your office.

Moving on to the second category, the self proclaimed Life Coaches, just Life experiences arn’t enough; Break Ups, depression, suicide attempts etc. I’ve been through those phases of depression. But what is depression? A state of the mind. So, when you’re dealing with a sensitive organ like the human brain, you need to have a little information about how it functions and by information I do not mean Google.

Coming to the actual question, what differenciates me is a combination of my Life experiences and my theoretical knowledge from certification programs. I don’t believe in touching lives and somehow I’m unable to resonate with that phrase.

I believe in a practical and a strategic approach in achieving a desired lifestyle. I believe that when a Coach 17

helps the client realize that strategy, the Coach has got to stay with the client until the very end until the client says, you have made a positive difference to my Life.

D Q4. You are the Founder of a Coaching Institute La Fenix. Please enlighten our readers about your vision.

La in Spanish means OH!Look and Fenix is my spelling for the Phoenix that rises from the Ashes.

Now the key words of La Fenix are Power, Transformation and Freedom. Power does not mean having the Power over others nor yourself.

It is realizing the power within yourself, “authentic power” once a person realizes who he is, where he’s come from and where he will go, half the battle is won and that leads to a transformation of self and with that you gain Freedom. You begin to let go of fear, anxiety, self doubt and everything else that weighs you down. When a person isn’t able to achieve his dreams and struggling, the root cause is “Fear”.

I am on a mission to help the youth realise their worth, unleash their potential and truly live a life of their dreams based on their authentic power.

Another pillar of La Fenix is corporate Training, we cater to MNC’s June 2021

our staff members is from the school.

Our students would loose out on one year. I was accountable for more than 900 lives, the future of the world. I did what I had to do.

Q6. You are from a very reputed Educational Background. Tell us about your legendary school “Our Own School”. When my mother was 4 she was unwell and she was at home and saw my grandmother tutoring a few children and she refused to go to school the next day onwards and she insisted that she should be taught at home.

But every year as my mother had to graduate to the next Grade, my grandmother had to seek permission from the department and the first batch for the Board exams were about l 0 students in 1964-65.

My grandmother, Tara Nabor The Founder of OOS was from a temple Brahmin family. Yet, a woman way ahead of her times. She was a Sanskrit Scholar and Mathematician.

She wrote books on modern Mathematics and her books are still used as reference guides in 2021. with customized Training modules for Managers and employees. A Team of well qualified Trainers take it forward. We also conduct Quality Assesments through Surveys for corporates.

QS. Any challenges you have faced while running the Institute?

La Fenix is my baby; I’ve planned the business model - I’ve kept it very scalable. I was very particular when it came to recruiting the Team, because a Team is the backbone of any organization. So, it’s pretty chilled out and it’s a year and a half old. So there arn’t major challenges that cannot be handled.

Our Own School, Yes! This was challenging. Schooling happens in a particular way, a particular environment, a standard methodology and it was a drastic change for everyone; students, parents and the faculty.

18

It involved mentoring, guiding, training, counselling and Coaching l 01. A complete shift had to happen and when a particular system has been followed since decades, ours is a 69 year school - it takes time for everyone to adapt to those changes.

For the first 6 months there was absolutely no income because our parents dint trust us. Some teachers resigned because of the changes.

So; right from setting up the online methodology, to recruiting new staff (online), putting in brand new policies and procedures in order; we did it all. Literally, established a school in 2 months to start off in June 2020.

Initially, I was contemplating on whether to continue or shut it down completely because my father was battling depression and tuberculosis.

My daughter needed my attention and La Fenix too. It was difficult, very difficult. But, the livelihood of most of

Q7. Tell us your achievements and what are the key points to reach on this level.

My definition of Achievement is slightly different. I don’t think of what can happen in a month or a year. I focus on the 24 hours that are in front of me. The boxes on my to do list everyday, must be checked. This is what achievement means to me.

In order to achieve the bigger goals of Life, these smaller lists are more important. Most often people aren’t thinking about this smaller list and they only want to achieve the goal. But to achieve your big goal you need to have a plan and a strategy only then will you be able to achieve your goals in a shorter span of time.

Q8. You have been awarded and recognised for your work many times. Can you tell us about it.

Certainly!!! In all honesty, Awards June 2021

and Recognition was never my goal. It just happened. If I’m drowning in the middle of the Atlantic, I’m the kind who swims and I give it all I have to make it to the shores. My intentions were always clear, it was to bring about an awareness that there is enough learning through the online methodology too and parents needed that guidance. All parents were worried about the future of their child.

When I proposed the idea to the faculty they were skeptical because, let’s be honest - we have been in the business for years but apart from our locality and the Education department not many people knew that the school exists. But our methodology was highly appreciated. As far as Outstanding Entrepreneur by SIWAA, Leader of the Year on Women’s Day and Renest Conference - Remarkable Woman goes, I hadn’t really anticipated those. My hands were so full that I had absolutely no time to think about awards. Intact SIWAA, I’m still not sure of how my entry reached them. I received a call from the Team and I was asked to be present at the ceremony on 21 December 2020. Intact I had missed that call a couple of times. Don’t generally pick up unidentifiable numbers, Lesson learnt - pick up any call.

The universe is very kind and caring and provides everyone with opportunities and knocks on everyone’s doors or calls We make the choices of which doors to open.

But it feels wonderful and again I’ve been pushed to do better than the previous year. It’s not about getting an award and it ends there, that’s the beginning. Anyone can get to the top and become the best but sustaining at the top is what really matters. That is when a person is truly successful.

Q9. You are a born Leader; we just want to know your views about it.

It is very kind of you to say that I’m a “Born Leader”. Thank You! But if you ask me, every person is ‘just’ born with a specific purpose. But, since your asking me my thoughts; 19

A Leader is one who has a vision and is able to manifest it into reality. A Leader is one who walks with his Team. A Leader must stand his ground, live up to his commitments.

A Leader lives by example. Well, I can go on and on, instead I suggest you attend my Leadership Programme.

Q l0. You have adopted a child when you were only 25, so what make you to do so?

In college my Arts subjects were Psychology, Sociology and Economics. So for our Sociology Projects and Reports I had to visit many Old Age Homes, Orphanages, Red Light Areas and so on.

I was 18 and after my visit to “Mathru Chaya” it’s an orphanage in Bangalore, I came home and told my mother; “Ma, I want to adopt a baby.”

Her only response was, ‘go study’ which I did.

I was around 23/24 and was training with a reputed hotel in Bangalore and we were attending a Seminar arranged by the hotel in Nagpur. This hotel in Nagpur was located on a fairly underdeveloped land so there wasn’t much activity going on around

that area. On Day 2 of the Seminar, my colleagues and I strolled out for an afternoon cup of tea.

In the distance, I heard an abandoned baby’s cry and I stopped while my colleagues headed back for the Seminar. I cleaned and fed the baby. He needed a little TLC handed him over to the cops and the Social Service Personnel and it was done.

What’s interesting is I lost my job, because I dint attend the Seminar.

I was well aware of the BOP in the contract, but I did what was needed the most in that moment. I was back in Bangalore and for several days the child’s thoughts were on my mind and it kept me feeling uneasy all the time. It was like a “true calling”.

Something that I must do and finally I decided and informed people only after I had Ariya na in my arms.

My parents were supportive, some of my relatives were supportive, friends who felt I was on the right track stood with me while others parted ways. It was an eye opener.

Overall the journey has been wonderful.

Q11. Any advise you want to give to the young Entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneur - the word looks and sounds fancy. It is a beautiful place to be in if that’s what you want to commit to. It requires focus, dedication, ‘never say die’ attitude, being fearless to take risks and most importantly Discipline.

D Ql 2. Five things you will carry while leaving home.

I don’t really leave the home now, but when I do; it’s my wallet, phone, make up pouch, a book that I’m currently reading and a water bottle.

D Q 13. What you do for stress buster?

I used to be a Belly Dancer back in the day so I dance away sometimes.

Baking is another destresser for me and Decluttering, Cleaning and Organising. An organized space is an organized Mind, an Organized Mind is an Organized Life.

Music videos are a great way to connect Actress Aamna Munjal has had a taste of success with a video debut in the song ‘Kitne Dur Ho Tum’.

The young performer finds challenges to be merely states of mind, and professes deep love for acting, which he feels lets him live many lives at once.

26

June 2021

AAMNA MUNJAL Here’s a recent conversation with Aama on acting, music & more Tell us about your first encounter with acting?

I was in school when I did a summer theatre workshop at Sriram Theatre Delhi and the whole process of preparation and performing live on stage was just magical. I loved every moment of it and I decided that I want to pursue this beautiful profession of being an actor.

How did ‘Kitne Dur Ho Tum’ happen to you?

I’m from Delhi, so during the covid lockdown I was there in the city for about eleven months. In January this year, I went to the DM star’s office (in Delhi) for an open audition.

There was a requirement for a music video and they wanted a young fresher to play the part. I auditioned for it, went through some look tests and finally they liked it and roped me in.

What’s been the biggest challenge in this entire process?

I feel that challenges are all a state of mind. I love my job as an actor so I won’t call anything a challenge but yes there were many new enriching experiences in the whole process.

The whole journey was quite mesmerising and beautiful.

Your role juggles between her past and present. How difficult was living in that zone?

27

I think the job of an actor is to play so many shades in one life and that was exactly what I got to do. Playing different shades in my first music video was very rewarding for me as an artist and it helped me prepare for a few other characters as well. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed being in that creative zone.

Coming from a theatrical background, would you agree that it brings depth in your acting?

I have done theatre workshops with the legendary actor Adil Hussain sir and working with him gave me a lot of motivation. Later, I also did camera and film acting from Kishore Namit Kapoor acting institute which was another magnanimous experience. So be it theatre or film acting, I feel everything you do adds depth in your craft because it’s eventually a performing art. The more time and effort you give in, the better results you get.

Where do you see independent music moving?

If I talk about my music video I would say it’s unconventional and different. I personally was very satisfied working on it because it touched many psychological aspects of human life.

What’s the unique power of a music video as a medium?

I think music is life. It has the power to take you to another world.

It can move lives, hearts and so I feel music videos are a great way to connect with people.

Best part of your Job? I think the best part is that we can experience so many lives in one and we as actors have the power to move others, to make them laugh, cry, love and make them experience all those things which they thought never existed.

What lies ahead on the work front?

I have worked on a 40 min solo act inspired from a real life story.

When that comes out I’m sure it is going to motivate people to another level.

RAPID FIRE 5 things you won’t leave home without?

My phone, keys ofc, money, my watch and sunscreen.

A beauty trend that you love?

Wear a smile. It’s the best makeup a girl can wear Your ideal stress buster?

I think spending time with my pet or maybe doing a physical activity.

“AVON LAUNCHES

PROTINOL

a new patented breakthrough in skincare” Clinical trial reveals INDUSTRY FIRST: Avon’s NEW patented*, breakthrough technology, Protinol™, upgrades skin’s collagen production, restoring ‘baby’ collagen for the ‘first time ever seen in topical skincare’ er. Dr Bayat says: “This is the first time I have ever seen a significant increase in collagen 3 from a topical skincare product.”

Protinol™ is available in Avon’s NEW ANEW Skin Reset Plumping Shots. Used over seven days, these seven potent single-use shots have the maximum concentration of the patented Protinol™ technology, restoring seven years of collagen loss in just seven days, for plumper, firmer, looking skin, † revealing your best skin in years. Your skin, reborn

A

t Avon, beauty is more than skin deep and it is a known fact that to be endowed with baby skin is every woman’s dream! As it is the perfect balance of softness, plumpness and bounce, there is a plethora of scientific research going on to get that right balance.

Avon’s new skincare discovery, Protinol™, is clinically proven to re32

store BOTH types of collagen found in healthy skin, helping to mimic the perfect collagen equilibrium found in baby skin - a never seen before result.

The breakthrough ingredient is already gaining attention from industry leading scientists. Dr Bayat from the University of Manchester independently tested the ingredient to help fully understand its pow-

What is baby collagen and why is it so important for healthy skin?

Collagen is responsible for the irresistible quality, texture and bounce found in baby skin. Collagen makes up 80% of skin and consequently is the most critical structural protein in your skin.

However, not all collagen is created equally; it’s a complex protein and not easy to ‘replace’ once lost.

In the skin, there are two main types of collagen, known as collagen 1 and collagen 3, that are both equally important. Collagen 3 (otherwise known as ‘baby collagen’, because of its presence in infant skin) provides a framework that collagen 1 binds to.

June 2021

The two types of collagen need each other to function efficiently.

In baby skin, when collagen levels are in their prime, collagen 1 and 3 are both present in equal proportions, working together in perfect harmony.

But even in your childhood, your skin is already losing this optimum collagen balance.

Until now, only collagen 1 has been effectively restored via topical skincare, but without the matrix of ‘baby collagen’- the impact is minimal.

Avon’s new breakthrough patented ingredient*, Protinol™, works to restore both collagen 1 AND collagen 3, bringing them closer to that optimal ratio found in baby skin. The result of this industry breakthrough is your best skin in years, moving closer to how your skin functioned as a baby.

Your skin, reborn.

Snigdha Suman, Marketing Head at Avon says: “Whilst Avon has been leading the way in innovation for many years, Protinol is one of the most exciting discoveries of the decade. To find an ingredient that targets baby collagen as well as collagen 1 to restore skin plumpness is truly ground-breaking.

How do you use the new ANEW Skin Reset Plumping Shots?

Highly concentrated, each skin reset plumping shot contains enough formula for use on the face, neck and décolletage.

Apply the product to a freshly cleansed face, neck and décolletage.

Allow to absorb completely and follow with your ANEW skincare regime.

The seven-day treatment can be used as part of a revitalising boost, perfect for special occasions or when skin needs extra care.

For optimum skin qual33

ity, Avon recommends using once a month to keep collagen levels boosted and skin looking plump and firm.

Our scientist has made the Protinol technology available for daily use in the range of day and night creams.

The new creams have been clinically proven to have 2 x the collagen power versus the leading skincare brand!

Each superior day & night cream now contains the power of Protinol combined with the most effective, exclusive ingredients for visible results in just 48 hours! These creams minimise lines and wrinkles and promote a plumper youthful skin in just 48 hours!

What’s remarkable is the combination of Protinol + Phytol increases the Hyaluronic Acid production by over 100% and boosts collagen production -- a solid boost to hydration and life force. We use it generously in our skincare creams as it boosts the hyaluronic acid, which has the ability to hold up to 1000 x its own weight in water! All these are instrumental in keeping skin plump and fine lines diminished. It is ideal for the women in the matured age bracket of 35 plus years as it diminishes wrinkles, reduces fine lines, renews skin and replenishes moisture.”

RENDANG RECIPE

BY WILLIAM WONGSO

Since the outbreak of the corona virus, it has spoiled many of our plans that we had…isn’t it? We have to maintain social distancing and stay quarantined/isolated at home. During the lockdown we cannot even step outside and breathe some fresh air or meet our friends and families. So what to do while we stay at home…is a big question now.

Well here’s a way to break the monotony. Try out a famous Indonesian recipe devised by a renowned chef William Wongso– 40

I

n a country so rich in history and tradition like Indonesia, a meal is never just a meal.

Traditions, stories and culture are cooked into every recipe, creating a unique cuisine loved by many. Indonesian food is the product of the nation’s own ancient recipes, refined by influences from other cultures seen throughout India, China, the Middle East and more. From its origins to modern practices, here is rendang and rice for you to prepare at home and enjoy the flavour of Indonesian cuisine.

Rendang Minangkabau: One of the World’s Best Foods Planning to have a West-Sumatran dish for today’s meal? Spoil your tummy with some rendang and rice.

History of Rendang and Its Philosophical Meaning Rendang is not actually a name for a dish. It’s basically a philo-

sophical term that refers to a special process, which makes beef tender, dry, and flavorful. The complex cooking process gives rendang a very unique and delicious taste. And that is why, on 14th April 2021, CNN highlighted Rendang as the 11th spot in their list of World’s 50 Best Foods. On 9 April 2018, Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism chose rendang as a national dish, along with soto, nasi goreng, sate, and gado-gado.Experience Indonesia in 360 Originally, Rendang was made out of buffalo meat and was only served on special occasions or traditional ceremonies. In the past, Rendang was considered a sacred dish. In Rendang Traveler: Minyangkap Bertuahnya Rendang Minang (2012), written by Reno Adam Suri, rendang was referred to as “Kepalo Samba” or the head of the dishes at Minangkabau traditional events.

The tradition of preserving meat has been followed by the June 2021

Types of Rendang There are many types of rendang.

Beef rendang is the best-known variety of rendang and can be found easily. The other kinds of rendang are made with chicken, fish, egg, squid, and shrimp. Beef rendang has its own varieties such as rendang paru, rendang limpa, and rendang babat.

Based on the type of occasion, rendang is classified into two categories; the rendang prepared for a special occasion requires one kilogram of whole beef and the rendang prepared for a daily meal is made out of beef that’s been divided into 20 parts.

The Process of Making Rendang It takes 7-8 hours’ time and three important stages to cook rendang.

The first stage is gulai in which the coconut milk is still in liquid form. The second stage is kalio in which the coconut milk thickens and becomes oily. This usually requires 4 hours of cooking.

In the third stage, kalio is cooked on a low flame till it dries and becomes rendang.

Rendang Recipe by William Wongso On an exciting episode of Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted, Ramsay was chal41

lenged by William Wongso to cook rendang. The recipe used by them, when they cooked rendang in West Sumatra, is included in Cita Rasa Indonesia: Ekspresi Kuliner William Wongso. Here’s the recipe for you to try at home.

Ingredients:  500g beef, cut into 5x5 cm chunks  1 turmeric leaf (or 2 Indonesian bay leaves)  15g tamarind  750 ml coconut milk containing 24% fat  2 stalks of lemongrass  4 lime leaves Spices:  120g onions, chopped  20g garlic, chopped  125g chili, chopped and deseeded  10g ginger, chopped  30g galangal, chopped  20g candlenut, pureed How to Cook Rendang: 1. Pulse all the spices in a blender.

Add lime leaves, lemongrass, and

tamarind.

2. Add coconut milk. Stir fry till it becomes oily and turns brown.

3. Add the beef and stir.

4. Preheat the oven at 120°. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and cook them in the oven.

5. Cook for about 1.5 to 2 hours so that the beef becomes tender 6. Shift the beef into a pan. Cook on a low flame and keep stirring till the color changes to dark brown and the beef becomes ultra-tender Cooking Tips from William Wongso Along with the recipe, William Wongso shares some tips on how to make rendang more delightful.

Check them out.

1 | Choose the best beef for rendang.

Beef with less muscle will have a soft texture.

2 | Irradiated meat or calf cow meat is best to make rendang. It has high collagen content which makes the meat tender.

3 | If you choose tenderloin, you do not need to cook it for a long time because it is lean and soft.

4 | All types of meats can be used to cook rendang. You only need to adjust the cooking duration.

5 | Make sure you use all the spices and ingredients as instructed. Do not skip any one of them.

6 | It is better to use thick coconut milk and do not add water to make it savory.

7 | If you choose calf cow meat, you’ll need to cook for a longer time.

It takes about 9 hours for all the spices to get well-absorbed.

8 | If you use the common beef that you get from the supermarket, it will take a shorter time, i.e. only around 4 hours, to cook 9 | Let the color of the ingredients turn dark to ensure that everything’s well-cooked.

10 | To get an authentic taste, cook the rendang on firewood.

Rendang takes a long time to cook, about 7 to 8 hours, but it is worth the effort. Eat rendang with warm rice to spoil your tummy and tongue. It tastes perfect.

The line is meant for that bed to beach vibe, with flowy and airy ensembles incorporating asymmetrical hemlines.

The summer collection has a burst of colours like lime green, hot pink, dandelion yellow, mango, cloudy grey or black and white. The silhouettes are relaxed and versatile with timeless pieces that always feel relevant. Easy to layer up or down with maxi dresses that are both sheer and opaque. There are distinctive relaxed trousers that can be mixed and matched with pieces from the whole line-up.

HEALTH CARE FOR LESBIANS AND

BISEXUAL WOMEN Author - Dr Prathima Reddy MBBS, MRCOG (London), FRCOG (London), FACOG (USA)

Director, Senior Obstetrician and Gynaecologist - Fortis La Femme Hospital, Richmond Road Bangalore

“H

istory owes an apology to the members of this community (LGBT) and their families, for the delay in providing redressal for the ignominy and ostracism that they have suffered through the centuries. The members of this community were compelled to live a life full of fear of reprisal and persecution.”On 6th September 2018 in a long-awaited decision, the Supreme Court ruled that consensual sexual relations between adults of the same gender was not a crime in India.

LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. They are terms used to describe people’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

Despite decriminalization of gay sex among consenting adults in private, the LGBT community continues to face social stigma and non-acceptance in society.

Health care for this group of people can pose a problem as it involves “coming out” for the person to discuss their problems ade56

quately. Added to this the doctors and health care personnel that are involved in their care may not have the skills and sensitivity required to deal with them. The barriers to adequate health care for this group are concerns about confidentiality, discriminatory attitudes of the health care personnel.

So what are the medical problems that this particular group of women face.

Psychological Mental health issues, specifically depression, tend to be more common in lesbians. This may be due to a lack of familial and societal support when growing up. In some societies a sense of isolation with a hidden lifestyle may contribute to emotional stress that can predispose to substance abuse, depression and suicide. Lesbians are more likely to abuse alcohol and drugs compared to heterosexual women.

Intimate partner violence is also common although under reported by the sufferer. Adolescents are at high

risk of depression, eating disorders, suicide and substance abuse.

Cancers Compared with heterosexual women, lesbian women have fewer pregnancies. This may put them at risk of cancers, such as breast or endometrial or ovarian cancer. This may be due to, as studies suggest, nulliparity, late childbearing and absence of breast feeding and reduced use of combined oral contraceptive pill.

In women who have only homosexual contact the risk of cervical cancer may be reduced. However, screening for cervical cancer should follow national guidelines in this group of women as well.

General Health Several studies have reported higher prevalence of obesity, tobacco use, and alcohol in this group of women. These factors may increase the risk of Diabetes, lung cancer and heart attacks. So women should be counseled about this and appropriately screened.

June 2021

How Doctors can Help There are numerous ways obstetrician–gynecologists can better meet the needs of lesbian and bisexual patients in their practices. Specific suggestions for changes in the clinic setting include the following (Health Care for Lesbians and Bisexual Women – Committee Opinion ACOG May 2012 Reaffirmed 2018): 1. Inform receptionists and other office staff that patients of all sexual orientations and gender identities are welcome in the practice and should be treated with the same respect as other patients.

2. Modify office registration forms and questionnaires that require patients to identify their relationship and behavioral status to obtain more accurate and useful information. Examples include the following: • Are you single, married, widowed, or divorced, or do you have a domestic partner?

• Are you or have you been sexu57

reception area. For example: “This office appreciates diversity and does not discriminate based on race, age, religion, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or perceived gender.”

4. Use inclusive language with all patients and neutral terms such as “partner” or “spouse” rather than “boyfriend” or “husband” when a patient’s partner status is unknown.

ally active with anyone—male, female, or both male and female partners—or are you not sexually active?

• Who are you sexually attracted to—men, women, or both men and women?

The form can state that response to these questions is optional. If the patient does not answer these questions, she can be asked in person.

3. Have a nondiscrimination policy for your office posted in the

LGBT health during Covid times The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its containment policies has been an extremely difficult period for everybody. But for the LGBT community it has been worse. The lock down policies have exacerbated mental health issues in general. The psychological consequences of these social isolation measures and stay-athome orders may be more severe for LGBT individuals who experience identity concealment and parental rejection at home. The rates of depression and suicide are increased.

Happn’s survey finding

indicates an insight on the impact of the pandemic on

mental health

92

per cent said they were lonely and felt the need of a “companion”

I

ndia is recovering from the second wave of the coronavirus. With the state-wise lockdowns and social distancing protocols still being followed as a practice, the isolation continues to affect the individuals in every possible aspect. It has been par-

64

ticularly devastating for people who are single and live far from their loved ones. They distanced themselves from friends and family, the work got heavier, and they started spending more time indoors in their own company.

It has not been an easy year for those looking for love and wantJune 2021

ed to explore the idea of meeting someone new, thus making them lonely. To better understand how people felt during this year, happn, a leading international dating app recently administered an in-app survey in India with a hope to gain an insight on how people are holding up emotionally. The aim of the survey was to understand the best way to support their users during these difficult times.

92% of respondents said they are lonely and felt the need for a companion during the pandemic The number is not surprising.

Being locked in their homes with minimal social interaction, it is not unusual to feel lonely. The new normal has stripped away the happy spaces of individuals, making them lonely and taking a toll on their mental health. According to the survey, 92% of respondents said they have felt lonely and needed a companion in the ongoing pandemic. Of the “1,743” respondents, Out of the total female respondents, 93% of them felt the need for companionship during their isolation.

Undoubtedly, loneliness aggravates the stress on one’s mental health and has been rising in the past few years, but the intensity of extreme loneliness faced during the pandemic is enormous. 64.2% of respondents were aware of their mental health status and agreed that social isolation affects their mental health.

65

The root of this stems from the need to talk to someone and express their feelings and thoughts.

Thus, the lockdown last year saw a surge in virtual dating. Taking the online route, individuals talked and connected with each other. happn found that 86.6% of people have taken the online route and connected with individuals searching for a companion.

An anonymous responder said “It is a feeling that someone is listening to me!”

GIFT A TREE A Plantation Drive in Sirohi, Rajasthan By Sanyam Seva - By Shivi & Sanmati Sanyam

uring this pandemic, we all saw our social media flooded with requests for oxygen and it was hard hitting to realise that something that we have been inhaling for free for all these years is actually so expensive when it comes in a cylinder. We all keep talking about going for a holiday once all this is over not noticing that the joy we are seeking from a trip to the hills is all connected with the environment in the region- the innumerable trees, the fresh air. It’s the connection with nature that has a soothing effect we all are so desperately craving.

We all have come to realise the value of trees the hard way. We all know why planting a tree is important and yet millions of people have never planted a tree in their lifetime.

To give us some much needed motivation, this Lawyer and Energy Healer duo are serving the residents of Sirohi and doing their bit for the planet through various programmes under their initiative - SANYAM SEVA. Shivi Sanyam, the brains behind Sanyam Seva shares with us that this World Environment Day, they have curated a 4 kilometre roadside project to plant 1300 trees as a kick start to the larger scheme where every panchayat of Sirohi district shall endeavour to have a dedicated area for planting trees.

The entire project shall employ local people of the district, with preference to widows and women from backward communities.

As a CALL TO ACTION, they are encouraging people to GIFT A TREE. This creative initiative

gives people an opportunity to celebrate important moments and milestones by sharing this thoughtful present with their loved ones.

For every 10 trees planted, the organisation Sanyam Seva will be sharing a gift certificate mentioning the name of the person in whose honour the trees are being planted along with google coordinates of the location, regular updates of the growth of the tree via pictures on email/whats app and once the tree reaches a certain height - the tree guards will have a tag mentioning the name of the person for/by whom these trees have been planted.

Sanmati Sanyam, the Co-Founder of Sanyam Seva and Founder of House of Healers tells us that this experience of gifting a tree has the ability to light up people’s lives not just in the present day but for years to come. One tree planted will give you a reason to smile each time you get an update about its growth from us, in the years to come you can bring your children, grandchildren to show them this tree in real time. And, when you plant a tree in the loving memory of someone who is not around anymore, it forever keeps their legacy, their memory alive and etched in our hearts.

We are starting the plantation drive by planting 10 trees in the name of our Guru - Grand Master Choa Kok Sui followed by planting a tree each in the name of our clients at House of Healers who lost their lives during this pandemic. 13 people in 13 months. I cannot change the reality for the families that lost their loved ones but this is the way I am choosing to honour these beautiful souls and to share with the families an opportunity to embrace their loved ones by hugging this tree, sitting under its shade for years and generations to come.

5 Ways In Which Energy Healing Can Assist With Smoking Addiction

By Sanmati Sanyam Chief Energy Officer at House Of Healers

The question we often ask our clients is; Do you love yourself?

Most of them hesitate a bit and eventually say YES. The conversation that follows is Imagine holding a cigarette in between your fingers, lighting it and as your hand is going towards your mouth ask yourself, Do I love myself? YES. Is this action in alignment with that ?

This is the moment when 95% of them realise that smoking is not the actual issue. It’s an outcome of our low self-esteem which makes us want to smoke in our teenage years to feel like we belong/ to be cool, our inability to be comfortable in our skin which prevents us from saying NO in a social set-up and largely its our lack of self-love that triggers 70

these behaviours in us wherein in spite of knowing something is toxic for us we continue to do it.

How Can Energy Healing Help Quit Smoking?

Energy Healing uses prana or life-force to heal imbalances and illnesses in the body. It works on the principle that the human body is “self-repairing” in nature.Energy healing techniques helps the body to heal by removing diseased energy and increasing the body’s vitality which in turn accelerates the body’s ability to self-heal.

Following are the ways in which

Energy Healing can benefit someone who is experiencing addiction with smoking1.

What is the difference between airbrush make-up and HD Make-up and which one is better

BY GITANSHI DUA Professional Make-Up Artist

n her wedding day, every bride wants to look stunning and elegant. With so many different bridal makeups on the market these days, it can be difficult for the bride to determine which one best suits her. Nonetheless, airbrush bridal makeup and HD bridal makeup are two of the most common makeup styles among brides.

traditional manner. HD makeup is applied using high-end HD cosmetics that are formulated to scatter light on the skin, making it appear smoother and prettier. These items are pricier than traditional cosmetics. HD makeup hides all flaws, including uneven texture, blemishes, scars, and pores, while appearing invisible and feeling feather light.It does not necessitate any special equipment. With the help of a simple make-up brush, you can do the touch-up yourself.

1] What is the difference between Airbrush make-up and HD make-up?

Airbrushing is a technique that uses an airgun to spray tiny droplets of foundation on your face in the form of a mist. This binds the makeup to your skin and provides a flawless, long-lasting foundation.

The mist is created with the help of an air compressor and foundation cartridges in various shades. The compressor can be adjusted to various levels to provide lighter, heavier, or any other type of coverage.

This technique is also useful for applying lipstick, lip colours, eye shadows, and other cosmetics. One of the greatest benefits of Airbrush Makeup is that it lasts a long time. In reality, it retains its freshness for up to 12-24 hours.

HD bridal makeup contains quartz, silicon, mica, or crystals, which diffuse light and give the illusion of even skin tone. HD makeup is applied using brushes and mixing sponges in the

2] Which one is better? Both HD and Airbrush Makeup have their own set of advantages and disadvantages!

Like, if you are going with Air brush make-up then it gives you an incandescent glow that is visible not only on camera but also with the naked eye. Airbrush makeup is ideal for oily skin because the oil secretion is controlled during the application process. It lasts a long time when applied to the skin. However, because airbrush makeup is so light, it frequently fails to conceal blemishes, which show up in camera lenses.

As a result, before applying airbrush makeup, makeup artists may need to manually hide those blemishes. Airbrush makeup could look flaky on brides with dry skin. If we talk about hygiene then Air brush is more hygienic than HD make-up. You don’t

have to touch the base at all, and the airbrush gun (stylus) doesn’t come into contact with your face. As a result, you are not moving dirt, oil, or bacteria when applying your makeup.This is ideal for people who are prone to breakouts.

HD Makeup, on the other hand, is ideal for all skin types because it blends seamlessly with the skin.

The HD makeup creates a soft focus effect, making the makeup look more natural and less layered. It also leaves no residue and gives the face a flawless finish, covering all acne and scars.At the end of the day, your makeup artist’s skill is all that matters. Before you book her for the big day, make sure you ask all the necessary questions. You’ll automatically make better decisions if you have more experience.

3] Our verdict-Now that you’ve learned about the two common make-up strategies, let us assist you in deciding which one to use.

According to profession, the majority of brides prefer HD make-up, which we also endorse because this

makeup technique is suitable for all skin types and makes makeup appear more natural rather than layered.

Airbrush make-up will make your face look flat, while HD makeup brings out your features! While both HD and airbrush makeup will help you hide your flaws, HD makeup will offer you a softer finish while concealing even the smallest spots that airbrush makeup cannot.Both make-ups have their advantages; it all depends on what you’re looking for. You should consult with your make-up artist on what would look best on your face.

Now, unlike most articles, I will not go into detail about the disadvantages. However, I will tell you that not every face and skin type is suitable for a particular type of makeup.

Furthermore, not every occasion calls for a single makeup style, such as HD Makeup or Airbrush Makeup.

Conclusion-Before you decide on which makeup to invest, you should first ask yourself three basic questions:  What exactly do you expect from your makeup? Coverage, longevity, appearance, and so on?  What is the kind of skin you have?

What are the major issues, and what is the skin tone?  And, perhaps most importantly, how much money are you prepared to spend?
