A relaxing Saturday lunch at the Palms restaurant

From the Editors Desk

It had been a fairly hectic week and the weekend provided a perfect opportunity to enjoy a well earned restful and tasty Saturday lunch. We headed to the Palms restaurant at the City Club Phase IV to partake of their Indian food as their ambience encourages relaxation and we could well imagine sitting on a palm fringed beach in Goa letting the cool breeze take over our senses.

I was shaken out of my reverie when a glass of chaach was placed before me and before I could protest that I had not ordered this drink, the polite steward informed me that this was a welcome drink. I loved the traditional curd based drink, christened ‘white beer’ by many for the drinking pleasure it gives in summer. I am told that the Welcome Drink Options include not just Chaach, but also Jaljeera and Ambi Panna impressing me with the sheer versatility of the F & B team.

Continuing the authentic Indian cuisine mode, we then moved on to the starter, Reshmi Kebab which entailed juicy boneless chicken pieces wrapped in an egg coating. Delicately flavoured and beautifully presented, this kebab just melts in the mouth. The fresh coriander-mint (dhaniya-pudina) chutney is a great accompaniment providing the necessary tang that spices things up perfectly.

The traditional tamatar dhaniya shorba that we ordered next was not just a palate cleanser, but also a great appetizer for the sumptuous main course of Nihari Gosht and Murg Qorma as the non-vegetarian dishes and the Dum Aloo Bhojpuri and Dal Makhani complementing the vegetarian palate along with a plate of assorted breads.

The Nihari Gosht came with a rich cooked-with-the-bone-gravy which tasted finger licking good with the hot rotis and naan. The blend of Indian spices and the cooking technique showcased the chefs’ expertise. It was cooked so perfectly that one could easily suck the meat off the bone without it falling off on its own. The Chicken Qorma complemented the rich mutton dish with its subtle flavours and aromas so different from the typical chicken recipes.

The vegetarian fare came with an interesting twist and I enjoyed the Dum Aloo Bhojpuri with a unique spiced paneer stuffing served with mild yet delicious gravy. The traditional Dal Makhani never disappoints at the City Club, and this time was no different.

Our steward mentioned that the month of August heralds a Biryani Festival and there will be quite a variety of special biryanis conjured by the chef. He was pleased to recommend the Gosht Biryani with a Buraani Raita for the non-vegetarians and an innovative Kabuli Biryani for the Vegetarians. Even though we had packed in a big lunch already, we gave in to our curiosity and the ever ready adventurous palate to check out the fare. We were certainly pleased with the recommendation as we enjoyed the perfectly cooked delicious gosht (mutton) along with the exquisitely flavoured and fragrant long grained rice.

The choice for dessert inevitably veered to the traditional Rasmalai which was plump and juicy as it is supposed to be and soaked in a not-too-over-sweetened milky syrup with just the right consistency. The kesar lent it a unique essence and the Chef proudly told us that this was an in house dessert prepared fresh every time. Other options of Tille Wali Kulfi and Gulab Jamun are also popular but the Rasmalai tops my list.

We thoroughly enjoyed our sumptuous Saturday lunch and recommend you take the time to check it out too!

News Perspectives

Larger Role for Rahul GandhiWith Presidential elections out of the way, Rahul Gandhi indicated that he was ready to take on a more pro active role in the part and government. We feel that he will be inducted in the government reshuffle by the PM to indict young blood in the cabinet. In 1980’s it was his father who set in motion the urbanization of the country by making Gurgaon Experiment of equal playing field for private and public sector leading to development of integrated cities across the nation.

Rapid Metro and Sky Way Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon is all set to construct a sky way to connect platform of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation through a 200 meter long bridge with that of Sikandarpur. Expected to be completed by November, the bridge will be provided with a lift as also an escalator to help commuters without looking for an auto or a feeder service. A company spokesperson explained, “The skyway will be built in a way that it can be accessed by not only occupants of the nearby buildings but also by outsiders. The station for the last mile feeder line has been planned keeping in mind that pedestrians can use it as a foot over bridge without having to enter the paid area”

“Moreover, in order to ensure low noise level along the stretch, the company will install specially designed sound barriers. The company will also use a technology called wheel flange lubrication, where the front wheel of the metro coach will spray lubricant before a turn. Each train will have three coaches with a capacity of 300 commuters per coach. Depending on the volume of commuters, the frequency can be anywhere between four minutes to 90 seconds. Also the initial pricing and rate revision will be in tandem with that of the Rapid Metro Rail”

MONTHLY FORECAST FOR AUGUST 2012

TAURUS(22 Apr-21May)

Tarot Tip: “The liar sweetens your ears with a honeyed tongue only to borrow money”.

You need to be very cautious with regard to conspicuous consumption. Someone is eyeing you as a potential target and may borrow money from you or try to interest you in some moneymaking schemes. Use that proverbial Taurean bullheadedness and say NO. Children are a cause of happiness. Traveling with children or younger ones is in the offing. Placidity reigns in workplace and relationship with co-workers is business as usual.

Good Color: Chocolate, Biscuit Brown

Good Numbers: 4, 22, 31

Good Karma: Make arrangements to feed a barren cow for a month.

•••

GEMINI(22 May-21Jun)

Tarot Tip: “A Knife too sharp can cut the hand that holds it.”

When you wield that Gemini intellect like a weapon it can

be devastating. But is it really necessary this time? Perhaps the actual difference is how you perceive it. Your sharp wit and ready tongue could be making others feel inadequate. Dial it down a bit. Change is an ongoing process at the work front as you try to put up a stable, strong structure. Money can be a concern but not in a big way.

Good Color: Silver, Turquoise

Good Numbers: 6, 12

Good Karma: Keep a bunch of blue flowers or a bright blue object where you spend most of your time.

•••

ARIES(22 Mar-21 Apr)

Tarot Tip: “When you sow a storm, you will reap a whirlwind”.

Everybody doesn’t take losses as lightly as you do. Forgiving

and forgetting is also not easy. You may have outwitted or triumphed over someone recently. So be on guard against their retaliation. In a close relationship, you would do well to see things from the other’s point of view. It is time to give others a chance. Be sensitive about colleagues’ feelings in a group activity. Just because you can take a joke or a jibe without feeling a pinch doesn’t mean that others can do the same too.

Good Color: Rust Red

Good Numbers: 9, 18

Good Karma: Keep a small replica of a horseshoe with you to avert negative vibrations.

•••

LIBRA(22 Sep-21 Oct)

Tarot Tip: “Unless you open the doors of your heart, how can the treasures inside become visible.”

You have hidden your feelings from someone for a long time. The time has come to express them. This is not necessarily romance, though the odds do favor this. So just say what you feel simply and clearly. Your genuineness and sincerity will carry the day. In fact, your communication skills will be needed in more ways than one. You should be able to resolve a rather complex issue in a fairly short time. Finances show no problems at all.

Good Color: Magenta Pink, Hot pink


Good Karma: Offer clear fresh water to the moon. Keep back a little and drink this before sleeping.

•••

SCORPIO(22 Oct-21 Nov)

Tarot Tip: “Those who rely on others for a meal, tend to fast everyday”.

Do not take on more than you can handle by yourself. Just

because your ego won’t allow you to say no, you can’t expect or compel others to finish what you yourself cannot. And while one may oblige, another can be resentful since this is not the first time you’ve done this. The atmosphere at home is likely to continue being tense for a while. Brow beating people at home will simply worsen the situation. Postpone taking important family decision for a while.

Good Color: Sea Blue, Ultra marine blue, Navy Blue.


Good Karma: Light a sesame seed oil lamp everyday in the morning and keep it under a Peepal Tree.

•••

SAGITARIUS(22 Nov-21 Dec)

Tarot Tip: “Please your palate with honeyed bread. Please the world with honeyed words.”

Be honest by all means, but don’t hit people on the head with the truth. A bitter medicine goes down better with a spoonful of sugar. And if you want things to be done your way, do it with more tact and diplomacy than you normally use. Your dynamism is attracting some admiring glances. Why not seal the bargain with charm as well? A short but profitable trip is on the cards. You can happily combine business with pleasure. Pay special attention to your dress and appearance since they create a great first impression.

Good Color: Ivory Cream, Ecru Beige


Good Karma: Offer fresh white flowers to the God you worship at least three times a week.

PISCES(22 Feb-21 Mar)

Tarot Tip: “When fortune favours you, even pebbles turns to pearls.”

It seems as though you can do no wrong. Chances like

this come rarely and should be grabbed immediately. It’s the right time to take decisions without the usual doubts plaguing you. An ambiguous relationship gets defined through commitments. Go ahead for the financial opportunity you have been contemplating and take a plunge. Expenditure can rise sharply, but the income too increases in proportion. A child or a teenager needs your gentle support, not your authority.

Good Color: Baby pink, oyster pink, Blush pink


Good Karma: Keep a clove and a tulsi leaf in your mouth before leaving the house in the morning.

•••

CANCER(22 Jun-21 Jul)

Tarot Tip: “Even birds and animals know the good fruit from the poisonous one.”

Wake up and smell the coffee. You are so very

engrossed in planning the future that you are completely unaware of the situation brewing right beneath your nose. Someone seems to have convinced you so thoroughly about their good intentions that you don’t feel the need to ask your opinions of those closest to you. A lady, possibly a family member, is feeling neglected. Younger members of the house are also missing the fun that they have with you. You need to pay attention to home and family.

Good Color: Banana Yellow


Good Karma: Offer yellow mithai to the Devi every Friday.

•••

LEO (22 Jul-21 Aug)

Tarot Tip: “A tailor’s needle works as well on jute as on silk.”

A reputation for being strict and of not taking nonsense

from anyone will work in your favor. Large social occasions in which you bask in your usual glory are very much on cards this month. But they may turn out to be a little more expensive than you can really afford at this point in time. However, the money is well spent and your networking and the contacts you make at the occasion are well worth it. Friends bring happiness. A child may need special attention.

Good Color: Cherry Red and Black


Good Karma: Keep a small pot of Chinese bamboo in your house in the eastern corner.

•••

VIRGO(22 Aug-21 Sep)

Tarot Tip: “Undoubtedly God will see to it that your ill wishers get their just desserts. Undoubtedly God will do it in his own time.”

The path to revenge ends in the abyss of despair. The eternal law of karma ensures that no one escapes the consequences of their actions. Perhaps you feel betrayed by the people on whom you depended. But in a very short time, you will realize that the fault lies on both sides. Any kind of retaliatory action taken in the heat of the moment is bound to end in regret. The best thing at this time is to involve in constructive enjoyable activities. Concentrate on finishing your pending work.

Good Color: Violet, Amethyst


Good Karma: Keep a row of amethyst crystal with you to help ease your path.

•••

CAPRICORN(22 Dec-21 Jan)

Tarot Tip: “The wise person does not occupy a seat which he can be asked to vacate.”

No success lasts forever. So its best not to take things

for granted. That which has made you triumphant today, is bound to become stale news in a week. The position you are in requires you to keep up to the benchmarks you have set up for yourself. A friend requires your help and advice. Family is your greatest support at this time, but you need to start reciprocating soon or you will be in danger of being selfish.

Good Color: Maroon, Claret, Ruby Red


Good Karma: Give away seven red fruits for four Tuesdays.

•••

AQUARIUS(22 Jan-22 Feb)

Tarot Tip: “When hyenas are growling on all sides the wise fox stays low.”

Remain true to yourself, but you don’t have to make

your truth an “in your face.” A whole lot of spitefulness will be in the atmosphere, some of it aimed at you. Reacting in a like manner is no solution. Malice will only breed in more malice. Your unruffled grace and dignity will allow you to triumph. Pay attention to small details. Support will come from unexpected sources. A happy event may be celebrated at home soon

Good Color: Lilac, Aubergine


Good Karma: Gift a small white quartz crystal object to someone from whom you want a favor.

Mount AbuFINE TRAVEL

– Kirit Kiran

Travel offers a distinct, if not unique, perspective to every individual who

decides to soak up what is offered. The hypothetical mystic paves a blurry road for the fanciful searchers of ‘meanings’ in signs of life while nature allows some to converse, others to click and for others, just a moment to take the chill pill.

A multi-faceted table land in the south of Rajputana, historically (and mythically) the bigger cousin of the area now identified with cartographic boundaries and referred to mostly as the ‘desert state’ of Rajasthan, is the small but beautiful city of Mount Abu. Replete with charming anecdotes and references in Vedic/Puranic traditions, its long documented and architectural history makes this Indian city quite fascinating.

Situated at a height of 1722 m above sea-level, Mount Abu with its lush landscapes condensed in a small region offers an in-budget and much needed respite from the scorching heat of the NCR. Charles McCann, noted naturalist from erstwhile Bombay referred to this small retreat as an ‘oasis in the Rajputana desert and a delightful place for a holiday’ in the 1940s. There is something for everyone here: history enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the ruins of Achalgarh fort or share their love for splendid architecture of the Dilwara Temples with art scholars; the lensman can keep clicking from sunrise until

Arbuda (a powerful snake and the son of Himalaya) rescuing the divine cow Kamdhenu from a chasm by lifting the land of Arbudanchal. The region also boasts of many renowned sages. Prominent amongst them is the great Sage Vashishtha who conducted a mighty yagna to protect the earth from demons thereby creating four Rajputana clans from the fire of the agnikund. This spot is called Gaumukh (Cow-Mouth) and is one of the primary tourist attractions of this town. The scenic backdrop has a natural spring flowing out of what appeared to be a cow’s head with modern day sculpting ‘refining’ the pre-existing rock-cut avatar. That does not deter pious hearts to search out for symbols of strengthening their faith in the town that reportedly is the abode of 33 crore Indian gods and goddesses.

There is more than just that one temple that plays host to annals of history and Vedic studies. The 9th century Achaleshwar Temple that is supposedly built around a toe impression of the Lord of Destruction, Shiva, speaks of a legend involving a pit that goes right down to the underworld. What is interesting to note at this spot is the four-tonne statue of Nandi the Bull in panchdhaatu –silver, copper, brass, zinc and gold. The structure houses a Shivalinga in its natural form. In addition to these imposing symbols of religion, there are countless statues made of seemingly crystalline substance.

well into midnight, capturing frames of natural, structural and historic beauty while adrenalin junkies can test their skills at mountaineering, para-gliding et al….the list could be defined for just anyone who loves travelling.

Some of the earliest references to Mount Abu can be drawn from Rigveda, Skanda Purana and the epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. One of the common threads is the story of

The divine experience does not stop here as the town has the famous Adhar Devi temple or the temple of Goddess Arbuda located in a cave close by. The 365 steps should be undertaken as a journey to catch not just the picturesque view of the lush green landscapes that make this place serene, but also to capture the cave beauty of this temple.

The two highlights of Mount Abu that are enshrined in the minds of those with theological pursuits and travelers are the magnificent Dilwara Temples and the Guru Shikhar for their remarkably exquisite architecture. The marvel associated with this famous pilgrimage for followers of Jainism speaks richly of their carvings and the sheer beauty that makes these group of temples one of the finest in the country. Built between 11-13th century, there are a total of five temples of which two are notably renowned all over for the magnificence displayed in their structure.

Carved out of white marble in its entirety, the Vimal Vasahi temple, dedicated to Lord Rishabhadev has some amazing carvings. The grand hall, called the Rang Manda has a total of twelve pillars that have female figurines including sixteen Vidhyadevis or goddesses of knowledge that are shown holding a distinct symbol each. The second is the 13th century Luna Vasahi temple dedicated to Lord Neminath and has some of the most beautiful carving work done on small figures. The brave Maharana Kumbha, who laid the foundation of Kumbhalgarh outside Udaipur had a black stone pillar called Kirti Stambha installed just to the left of this temple. The opulence in the overall architecture and the delicacy of the marble work mark the passions of over 1500 sculptors and 1200 labourers who worked on them tirelessly.

The climb to the highest peak is a trek/excursion that is mandatory in guidebooks and in the words of the locals as well. At a height of 1722 meters above sea level, Guru Shikhar is the highest peak of the Aravallis having shrines dedicated to Lord Dattatreya, considered the incarnation of the Divine Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The panorama offered at this peak is of

absolute picture-postcard quality. In the same vein, what good are landscapes if one does not venture into the Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary spread over an area of 114 square km. This green cover once was home to both the lion and the tiger last sighted in 1872 and 1970 respectively. Botanists can have a massive field day out here with over 112 plant families, a diverse variety of orchids, wild roses and rare species of ferias. Animal lovers can also take on an adventure trip with their cameras ready to sight sloth bears, jackal, hyena, langur, wolf, sambhar, jungle cat among countless other species. The same enthusiasm applies to bird lovers who can see the grey jungle fowl, green avadavat Amandava Formosa, and Gallus and Red Spurfowl that are in fair numbers.

Another famous nature lover’s paradise

is Trevor’s Tank. Named after the English engineer who built this, the man made tank is used to breed crocodiles and is also a bird watchers delight. Whether it is to spot the deadly marine creatures, or the black bear, this spot offers several spotting stations that can be used to take snippets of flora and fauna out of the sanctuary.

Those familiar with Mount Abu would also be well versed with names such as Nakki lake and Honeymoon Point that are all to be seen the way they have been for a long time. Countless shops selling Rajasthani handicraft are lined up all around the Nakki Lake and attract shoppers from all around. Bargaining and being the elusive customer is the key to get what one wishes to bag in as souvenir. But there is another small

water body called the Mandakini Lake that is close to the Achaleshwar temple. Legend has it that the lake was filled with ghee (clarified butter) and was the watering hole of demons that were disguised as humans. Engravings on nearby rock walls show the Rajput king Adi Pal him killing the bovine shells of netherworld’s inhabitants giving Mandakini Lake history, folklore, myth and nature all rolled into one.

History enthusiasts should also pay a visit to the Raj Bhawan Museum and Art

Gallery that has artifacts from as early as the 8th century. And those who are just looking for a retreat for meditative purposes should go to the World Spiritual University established by the Brahma Kumaris.

This is small town, with a history that constantly blurs lines of knowledge with mythology, and scenic beauty that is at the threshold of an inevitable war of destruction with corrupt practices that have pillaged the entire area’s lush cover. When the readers of this piece travel to Mount Abu to beat the heat, there should be an earnest attempt to maintain the law of nature that will only give something back without asking for anything in return. Responsible and free-spirited travelling should be practiced as THE norm. Go grab the suntan, shades and a healthy attitude and let Mount Abu do the rest.

•••

The two highlights of Mount Abu that are

enshrined in the minds of those with theological

pursuits and travelers are the magnificent

Dilwara Temples and the Guru Shikhar for their remarkably exquisite

architecture.

Trendy Footwear

FASHION

– Supriya Saran

With the summer weather heating things up, it’s time to show off

those pretty pedicured toes, with sandals that are funkier and trendier than ever before. While each one of us will have their own choice based on an inherent style, here is our list of the current ‘must-haves’ based on worldwide trends this year.

Topping the list is the Gladiator Sandal – an absolute treasure for the Indian summer months. Inspired and named after footwear worn by gladiators in ancient Rome, the Gladiator Sandals are strappy with the more classic versions featuring T-straps, thin leather soles, low heels and several straps running across the instep and ankle.

You can pick up a metallic pair for an evening out or choose from a variety of sturdy basic ones for your day wear. Embellished with crystals and funky beads and also available in brilliant neon colours, prints and even patent leather, the Gladiator is laid back, but fashionable.

Show off those slim pretty ankles as you team up with summer dresses and cropped capris. Or simply wear them

with your favourite pair of jeans or a churidar suit to work. The versatile and fuss free Gladiator is definitely the ‘top of the pops’ this summer...and also a pleasant respite from high heels.

Running a very close second would be the modest Chappal and the Morjari, more popularly known as ‘Juttie’ in North India. The classic Kohlapuri Chappal, worn by both men and women, is exquisitely handcrafted footwear that originated in Kohlapur, Maharashtra.

While regular Kohlapuri Chappals are ideal for daily wear, these days you will find a profusion of colours and metallic variations to choose from. Adorned with gold chord, zari strips, gota and even pompoms, the Kohlapuri is classic summer fare in India. Today you can also opt for a trendy wedge heeled kohlapuri to add that cool quotient when teamed with a sari.

The Morjari or Juttie, a timeless tradition, is a trademark of royalty. Keeping the bonds of tradition and culture alive, the Juttie often adds to our sense of fashion and style while

remaining the most comfortable footwear ever. They are available in myriads of funky colours with different adornments like beads, pearls, sequins and gleaming stars, and are perfect with anything that you wear. A brilliantly coloured thread work pair or a shimmering sequined silver pair would go equally well with your jeans as also your cotton salwar kameez.

While open toed sandals and footwear is a preferred choice in India keeping in mind the harsh summer sun, the Wedge Sandal continues to be comfortable, super chic and trendy. Wedge heels are haute again this spring and summer, and even though there are no limits when it comes to heel heights, there are plenty of lower-heeled wedges to choose from as well. The warm weather just tends to bring out footwear with rope, jute, woven and other textural accents because these they look great with shorts and skirts. If you do choose some of those sky high Wedges, you may want to look for styles with platform soles. Not only will they help to counter the height, but they›re also a top footwear trend themselves.

Worldwide trends for this summer also include shoes with pointed toes, which are sexy and feminine; shiny metallic footwear in silver and gold; ballerina flats in bright colours, floral prints embellished with ribbons and bows and the extremely high stilettos...we are talking 7 inches high here!

Finally, colour them Neon. Yes, Neon is IN and by adding a neon shoe or handbag a classic outfit can simply come alive. Neon goes with almost anything and adds that dash of colour to a monochromatic or casual outfit.

Most of us do not need a reason to go and buy footwear. The pairs already in

the cupboard are never enough. There is always room for one more – to match that dress you just bought ainwayee; for your friends’ sangeet ceremony where you will need to look formal and yet be comfortable enough to dance; for Friday office wear and of course, the countless seasonal sales you must patronize … the excuses and reason are always ready.

But before you go shopping for a pair, listen to a humble word of advice from one passionate shoe-shopping-fanatic. While trends are always fun and stylish to follow, it’s what you are most comfortable wearing that matters most. So while the animal-print-Jimmy Choo or the red-soled-Christian Louboutin would also be a ‘must have’ for some, it’s the sandal in which we feel we can run a marathon that finally counts! No point in ending up with blisters to ruin that expensive pedicure.

The Power of π (Pi)The Power of π (Pi)

HUMOUR

– Krishan Kalra

A Class VI student could tell you what π (Pi) is. Yet, ask many 50-year-olds

especially the ‘M.A History’ type and chances are that they would either think of a dissect pie or the smallest Indian coin till the Second World War, 192 of which made a rupee! My story is about one such guy.

I am a regular walker in our colony’s central park. With a beautifully laid-out garden, lovely trees manicured grass, neatly paved wide walk-ways, it’s an oasis in the midst of roads packed with smoke-belching vehicles. I walk at a fairly brisk pace, always clockwise, sticking to the outer edge of the peripheral track. It must be quite fast because most people find it tough to keep pace. Actually it’s strange; I can’t run at all – a few hundred yards is enough to tire me out – but I can give most walkers a run (oops!) for their money.

This guy, about 10 years my junior in age, also walks fast and seems to be always trying to race me. Most people walk in the same direction, so often

we don’t even cross each other. But whenever we do, he’s on my heels. One day I met him in the first round itself. My friend was walking in the opposite direction and we crossed each other. Instinctively, we both noted the spot. In the second round he had gained some distance and yet more in the third. His joy knew no bounds. He was all smiles and couldn’t contain himself as he flexed his arms and said “Aaj aap peeche reh gaye.” (Today you have lost).

I told him he was mistaken, it was only the “Power of Pi”. The guy was flabbergasted. “What do you mean? Haven’t I beaten you squarely,” he was quite brusque. I asked him to change direction. I did likewise and we started again. This time he lost. The guy couldn’t believe it. He increased his pace but again he was beaten. He looked askance at me and I again told him “it’s only the power of Pi”. He seemed thoroughly confused.

For the next few days, I deliberately changed direction after every two

rounds. He did the same, always walking in the opposite direction. He’d win whenever he walked anti clockwise and lose in the reverse. I’d only repeat “The power of Pi” every time we crossed. By the fourth day our man was a nervous wreck. He folded his hands and begged to be told about this Pi. “I’ll never race you again, but pray, who the devil is Pi?” he pleaded.

We sat down on a bench and explained to him the meaning of Pi. It is the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle - the value, to the nth place of decimal, 3.142857 or approximately 22/7. When he walked anti-clockwise and stuck to the left, he was on the inner edge and thus, on a shorter diameter circle. The track being wide, if we walked 1-1/2 meter apart he was covering almost 10 meters less. In the opposite direction, I had the same advantage.

Now he’s a relieved man and doesn’t bother to race me any longer.

Before the Rains Came Down

DLF TOWN ADMINISTRATION

As the rains descended on Gurgaon, DLF City News spoke to GM, Town Administration, Baljit Singh and Dy. GM, Town Administration,

KRS Lalotra on the State of the city before the rains came!

•••

CITY NEWS | 47

DCN: Baljit, how has the sizzling hot June and July months been before the rains came down?

BS: Just hectic. We had just managed to tide over the water crisis and then the challenge of conserving water arose. Now, we are working round the clock on our mission “Save Water, Save Earth”. Though we did manage to meet the crisis and the situation has shown some improvement, I appeal to residents for help in eliminating wasteful misuse of the scarce water resources.

DCN: What are the preparations to conserve water and improve drainage?

BS: This is an endless operation. Yet, I will like to tell you that we have gone all out and spent an amount of over One Crore to complete drainage projects, digging of 45 pits for rain water harvesting and extensive road repair.

DCN: Please tell us where the amount was spent?

BS: The various projects that we have covered are:

The Chakkerpur Road, the bane of monsoons, now has a storm water drain passing under it.

1. The 12 meter wide road linking Chakkerpur village to Sushant Lok has been carpeted.

2. Repair and PCC to the 18 meter Road emanating from Sector Road in Phase 2.

3. The main 24 meter road in Phase 5 has been repaired.

4. Commissioning of a dedicated water pipe line in E block of Phase 1.

5. Completion of work on 45 rain water harvesting phases in all phases.

6. Repair of road in front of the City Club, Galleria, Ridgewood Estate, Windsor Court and Super Mart II.

7. The service Road in front of Galleria has been repaired.

DCN: Are you satisfied with the progress made till date?

BS: No. I am never satisfied as I feel it is a round the clock work. We are dedicated to the comfort of our fellow citizens and for this our lifelines are open at all times.

DLF City News met KRS Lalotra, Dy. GM, Town Administration about the manner in which complaints have been redressed and the Administration’s new measures to revamp the complaint resolution mechanism.

DCN: What are the objectives of the Town Administration?

KRSL: Our main objective is to train our managers to respond speedily to complaints while the control room operators at Shopping Mall have been given practical training in responding to complaints with correct information and continued follow up till they are resolved.

(Please refer to Helpline on Page 52 of DCN for their contact numbers.)

DCN: Has something been done to help residents in their needs for electricians, plumbing, mason, carpenter and so on?

KRS: Yes. We have made a beginning from July 1, 2012 with a concierge service operating from the Community Center, F Block in Phase 1. They are available on telephone: 2560720 and mobile numbers-9313308686 and 9313008686.

Supporting India’s Second Food Bank in Gurgaon

DLF FOUNDATION

As part of the ongoing social responsibility initiatives, DLF Foundation has partnered with Aidmatrix Foundation to provide free food items to the underprivileged sections of society including construction labour, slum dwellers and underprivileged

school children. The DLF Food Bank initiative is part of an international initiative which was started by ‘International Food Banking Network’ in USA in a big way after Hurricane Catrina in 2005. The Delhi Food Bank Initiative was launched as a part of the Indian Food Bank Initiative on 8th June, 2012 by Chief Minister, Smt. Shiela Dixit and Mr. Sam Pitroda.

“We have committed ourselves to provide storage and distribution of the food items to the needy. This is the weakest link in the promotion of free food bank in the country. Due to inefficient and shortage of proper storage and distribution facilities, lakhs of tonnes of food are wasted in the country every year which could otherwise go to the poor and underprivileged”, says, Lt General Rajender Singh, CEO, DLF CSR & Foundation.

Showcasing its commitment, DLF Foundation distributed food items at construction Labour Camp at Village Ghata, Gurgaon, catering to around 5000 labourers and their families. More recently, India Food Banking Network & Delhi Food Banking Network launched & announced Delhi Food Bank Implementation on June 8, 2012 at Auditorium, Delhi Secretariat, I.P. Estate, New Delhi. Smt. Sheila Dikshit & Mr. Sam Pitroda officially launched the Delhi Food Banking Website (www.delhifoodbanking.org). They also mentioned the phone service, wherein callers can contact at 58888 not only to get food for the poor and needy but also help in this noble deed by giving food to the less privileged.

Delhi Food Bank’s warehouses and operations are located in GK-1/Kailash Colony (New Delhi) and DLF Phase III (Gurgaon) with sourcing, procurement, salvaging and distribution already taking place with an initial commitment to provide sustained nutritional food access and delivery to 5000 vulnerable families through feeding institutions for a period of three months, already under affect and later to scale to many more among the vulnerable population.

Money and mentoring should not be a constraint for deserving students to pursue their education in reputed educational institutes. This was ensured through the DLF Raghvendra Scholarships which were awarded to over 60 new school scholars in the academic year 2012-13.

As many as 66 children from villages of Gurgaon have been selected for the DLF Raghvendra Scholarship for the academic year 2012-13 and enrolled in reputed public schools near their residence. The entire cost of education will be supported by DLF Foundation, which includes tuition or any fee, uniforms, books and transport. Besides, the scholarship will include miscellaneous expenditures through a cash support of Rs 3000/- per year. The children were selected through a merit test in which children from underprivileged section of 30 villages participated.

Passing out with flying colours

176 scholars are supported through this programme till date, of which 130 are under the school scholarship category and 46 are under the professional course category. It is heartening to note that there is 100% result for school scholars and most of them have secured over 80% marks. It was particularly difficult as all students were enrolled into government primary schools before joining good quality public schools where academic standards are obviously higher. DLF Raghvendra scholars not only went on to adjust with the new environment, they also competed with other classmates.

The mentoring

DLF Foundation realizes that handholding and mentoring support is a crucial factor for nurturing talent among the underprivileged. The Foundation has initiated a mentoring programme, in which subject experts, from within DLF and also from outside, are engaging with the students to provide them counseling and guidance on a regular basis. Besides the subject, students are also advised on issues like personality development, health and hygiene and adolescent behaviour. This programme is further planned to involve parents of the scholars as their support is a key in the success of this programme.

The scholarship

Instituted in 2011 by DLF Foundation, DLF Raghvendra Scholarship aims to nurture talent amongst underprivileged meritorious students. The scholarships cover school children from class VI onward to under-graduate and subsequently post graduate studies in professional courses including Medicine (MBBS), Engineering, IT, Fine Arts, Sports and Management at an all-India scale.
