At this time, however, you have a choice. If you wish to go out into the world, your personal life will not cause problems that can distract you from the quest. But it might be even better to concentrate your energies on your personal life, rather than make a great effort to get ahead into the world. Now is the time when you can make your home, family and personal life more secure than other and guarantee that it will always be a source of support and comfort. Almighty gives you Money and Honey and they are both sweet for you around this time. By this favourable phrase - often overworked by me – I would like to cover this entire gamut of money matters and activate buying, selling, funds, in- vestments, salary/ perks/bonus and so on and all affairs that touch the heart and emotions. Here money and Honey mesh and overlap beutifully for all those who are born during this period. Reaching out, touching base and enjoying what you do is how you start the week. Communications is the name of the game - it may range from just emails to hugs, kisses and more! I’m not joking.

This is a huge commitment given the fact that most public projects have been seeing time over runs, sometimes of decades. Imagine a corporate has decided to set up a power plant in a backward district and the government has agreed to provide the infrastructure like the roads and water supply! The private companies draw up their budgets on the basis of a time frame; any time over run results in the escalation of cost. And what happens to the company’s budget? And what happens to the down stream industries planned, if any? Of course, by sticking to the time frame, the government will also save a lot of money which it now spends as administrative expenses. The best example of time over runs is the set of three hospitals taken up by Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation. Each one is more than two years behind the schedule! Imagine how much more they would cost in terms of money! If this happens to a project taken up by the cash rich NMMC, what will be the fate of other local bodies? Indian Railways probably hold the worst example of time over runs. Some of its projects are said to be pending for over 50 years! And in spite of that, most railway ministers are known to go on announcing new projects gleefully! For example, Mamata Bannerjee had announced eight new railway lines, most of them in West Bengal, during her tenure as railway minister. She had done so without making any provision for them in the budget! Of course, a railway project need not be completed in a financial year and budgetary provision can be made in the coming years too. But there must be some idea from where the money will come. Narendra Modi’s commitment has the potential to change all that. Better still, it has the potential to change the attitude and the work ethics of the government servants. Presently, they are known for their lethargy. “Don’t do today what you can keep for tomorrow” seems to be the principle they are following. The Prime Minister’s commitment has the potential to change all that. The government servants will have to keep pace with those of the private sector if they want to honour the commitment. They may have to work overtime like those in the private companies, if necessary, of course, without asking for over time! That is also a work ethic that will have to be changed. By Ashok Dhamija and Meena R. Prashant CBD BELAPUR: Taking steps towards environment conservation and to solve growing challenge of waste management, Konkan Railway (KR) has installed an Organic Waste Composting machine at its residential colony at Seawoods, Navi Mumbai which will enable it to manage by itself all the organic and green waste being produced in the colony. The composting machine was inaugurated earlier this week by CMD of KRCL, Bhanu Prakash Tayal. “The system which is economical, environment friendly is a step in the direction of making the residential colony self-sustained. Once the garbage and green waste is disposed in the composting machine, within 15 minutes it converts the waste into homogenized flow-able raw compost ready for curing. Upon placing this in the curing system, in just 10 days the compost is ready for use in gardens.

Numerology... too is the strong focus, and very intensely felt experience. It may also bring a sweet sorrow sometimes, but it is one that is welcome, since it also makes you enjoy both the depth of emotion and possibility of true lasting love that the Lord gives you. True friendship too will be viewed in the same light. So also will travel - you will try to live it completely. As you will focus on your interactions at the family level here you have got it made.

That is in nutshell, actually, a summary of what it is likely to bring. Also some gains/progress that you are not able to envision right now but will get anyway. This highly favourable time may prove to be too tempting. You try to work harder than ever to earn more and more. The Lord Almighty says that it is not too good a time for you healthwise and there might be some other stresses to cope with. It could be because moving of your house or due to change of an office or perhaps due to an overseas travel for a business which is much against your desire. Your temper could possible be on a short fuse. the results, Konkan Railway plans to install the system at the major stations on its route and its residential colonies along its route” shared a Konkan Railway official. Background: Konkan Railway’s residential colony at Seawoods has 142 official quarters with about 500-600 residents occupying these. It has lush green lawns and several trees in its premises. About 200 to 250 kg of garbage and green waste is produced daily from the colony which is picked up once a day by the garbage vehicle of the Municipal Corporation. The green waste is disposed off separately by Konkan Railway as it cannot be mixed with the regular garbage. Since about 150-200 kg of green waste is produced per day the waste composting machine will enable KRCL to produce its own organic manure for use in its lawns and plants. This will also completely do away with the practice of dumping garbage for further disposal by civic system. Upreti, Prakash Rawat, Rekha Uniyal, Reshma Shah, Veeru Joshi, Vinod Shirola, Anuradha Nirala, Jyothi Upreti also presented the folk music along with their groups. Shri Yogeshwar Sharma, President, Kauthik Foundation said, “Organised by the Kauthig Foundation, this was the eighth year of the festival which brings different aspects of Uttarakhand’s unique culture. This year the theme was ‘Palayan’ where we highlighted the fact that people who migrate from our state must not forget the connect they have with their homeland Uttarakhand. I am happy that we were able to rekindle that connect and urged people to keep Devbhumi’s unique traditions alive and also visit Uttarakhand at least once a year. ‘Janmabhoomi Uttarakhand Karmabhoomi Maharashtra’ was the message we focused on throughout the five days of the festival” You are advised to cultivate patience, forbearance and self control you gain much that way. Not only in better relationships, but more importantly, by becoming a better person altogether. Your love life is more physical-passion or sex rather than tenderness and togetherness. This is the way I see it and like to tell it straight and upfront. But it is not all passion and preoccupation with your own personal self interests and needs. Public trusts, charitable organisatons, philanthropic funding agencies along with joint finance, loans and funds are the main areas for you. This is not personal finances but those on a larger scale. Megabucks obviously means lots of thoughts, even study and market research, since larger sums of money will be at risk. As I also said, it will mean a lot of stress at work. Decide whether it’s worth it. Try to create scope for your better instincts and higher self to develop thoughts about death, Life after death, necromancy (art of raising dead spirits). This is not as strange as it may seem. More or less it is the same a prescription for you. The Lord Almighty says,certainly you will be painting on a very major canvas. You will be doing things at the speed of light. Your creations and work emotions will be greatly enhanced. This could be because of special spiritual insights.

The photograph w a s taken at 8 p m . Many pedestrians don’t use this subway. They prefer to cross the railway tracks. The subway also gets water logged during heavy rains creating traffic jam in the node and TB road. If possible, the authorities should widen this subway, provide footpaths on both the sides, provide lights and install pumps to remove excess water during monsoon. - S. Ravichandran, Airoli R K Laxman - a common man with a vision R. K. Laxman was not just a cartoonist but also a good human being. His demise is a sad moment. Through his cartoon character “common man”, he always had something important to express, which always remained a guiding force for good governance. Some of the cartoons out of the 1960s and 1970s would be alive and meaningful if reproduced today without a date like the one where a policemen is reporting to his superiors saying, roughly, that there had been looting, rioting, stone-throwing and “then the situation took a turn for the worse” and there was — looting, rioting, s t o n e throwing. So too, the innumerable cartoons on price rise that he did in the early decades — they would be as alive today as they were then. Laxman suffered a stroke in 2003 but that did not put him out of action. He continued working with one hand, although the lines were not as sharp, and the Times sent someone home to pick up the cartoons. He had moved to Pune since a while with his wife. People invariably connected themselves with the Common Man, and Laxman’s work represented the bewilderment of the poor, contrasting it with the corruption of the ruling classes. His work will always bring a smile or draw a laugh and make you realise the grim irony and unchanging nature of the world we live in. His loss is irreparable. - C. K.
