HISTORIC TALKS
AFTER MORE THAN
50 YEARS
We are willing to discuss everything but we need

to be patient, very patient, the Cuban president
said to his counterpart in their first formal
encounter in the last 50 years.
Obama struck a more upbeat tone and he called it a historic meeting. We
are now in a position to move, towards the future, he said. Over time, it is
possible for us to turn the page and develop a new relationship between our two
countries.
Obama said he would be making a decision in the coming days on Cubas status as a state sponsor
of terrorism after an inter-agency review. Castro called on the US to lift the embargo on his country
and to return Guantanamo Bay, which he said was illegally occupied by the US military.
Mr. Obama sat down for an hour-long meeting with
President Raul Castro of Cuba, which the United States
allowed to attend the summit for the first time since
the meetings began in 1994. It was the first meeting
between leaders of the Cold War-era foes. Mr. Castro
roasted the United States, at considerable length, over
what he called its history of oppressing Cuba. A region
long tired of the mutual animosity and perplexed at the
Cold War-era embargo, it seemed progress enough
that the presidents were talking without hostility.
We have very different views of how society should
be organized and I was very direct with him that
we are not going to stop talking about issues like
democracy and human rights and freedom of assembly
and freedom of the press, Mr. Obama said. America
never makes a claim about being perfect, he said. We
can, I suppose, spend a lot of time talking about past
grievances, and I suppose that its possible to use the
United States as a handy excuse every so often for
political problems that may be occurring domestically.
But thats not going to bring progress, Mr. Obama
continued. Thats not going to solve the problems of
children who cant read, who dont have enough to eat.
10
Its not going to make our countries more productive

or more competitive in a global economy.
The cold war has been over for a long time and, frankly,
Im not interested in having battles that started before
I was born, Obama said. The US will not be imprisoned
in the past. Were looking to the future.
I respect Obama but I do not trust him, Venezuelan
president Nicols Maduro said. Were not against
the US. Im an admirer of Eric Clapton and Jimi
Hendrix. Weve never been against the US. Were
anti-imperialist. This appears to have been a partial
mistake. Clapton is British. US president had left the
plenary before Maduro started speaking and the
two leaders appeared to have avoided shaking hands
during the summit.
Like every other leader at the summit, Brazilian
president Dilma Rousseff celebrated the move by
Cuba and the US to build closer ties and said countless
opportunities should emerge from the new regional
environment. The two presidents have shown the
progress that can be made when we learn the lessons
of the past.
These are societies that are not
especially responsive to what
Washington does or wants, and have
not been for a long time, said Julia
Sweig, a Cuba and Brazil scholar at
the Lyndon B. Johnson School of
Public Affairs in Austin, Tex.
Despite really significant remaining
differences in the region, by sweeping
aside the Cuba problem I think you
are going to see more leaders step up
to the plate more on human rights and
democracy, said Arturo Valenzuela,
the State Departments former
top diplomat for the region and a
professor at Georgetown University.

SNOOPING ON NETHAJI, DIRTY

TRICK OF NEHRU TO STAY IN
POWER
Expressing shock and concern over snooping on Netaji Subhash Chandra Boses
family, BJP launched a scathing attack on Congress for the alleged role of its then
government and said the opposition party has snooping in its DNA. BJP also cited
examples of snooping on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhis daughter-in-law
and on former Finance Minister when chewing gum was found in his office.
The BJP today is definitely taking a stand that this is really surprising and shocking. Already on
the dimension of snooping, research that has come out, I certainly feel that till 2010-11 snooping
has become a part of Congress DNA. We express our concern, BJP leader and Union Minister
Nirmala Sitharaman said. The party (Congress) snooped then on Subhash Chandra Boses family
and continued during Indira Gandhis regime when her daughter-in-law was also snooped on and
the Finance Minister of the country was also subject to snooping, about which we do not know
what came out, the BJP Minister said.
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is the beloved son of India. There is news
that there was surveillance on his family members, whom they are meeting,
where they are going. I feel a thorough inquiry should be conducted and full
facts must come to the open, the Union Parliamentary Affairs minister M
Venkaiah Naidu told.
12
Intelligence Bureau kept relatives of Subhas Chandra

Bose under close surveillance for two decades, most of
which was during Jawaharlal Nehrus tenure as Prime
Minister, according to archival material, triggering a
political controversy. The IB sleuths intercepted and
copied letters written by the Bose family and even
trailed them on foreign tours. Boses
family reacted to reports with shock
and said it was a poor reflection on
the quality of democracy at that time.
Congress however debunked such
reports about snooping on Netajis
family by the then government.
Netajis nephew Ardhendu Bose,
a former model and businessman,
has said that his father believed the
phones at their home in Mumbai
were tapped. He said this was taken
as proof that the iconic leader didnt
actually die in a plane crash in 1945.
My father never believed Netaji died
in the plane crash, Mr Bose told. Mr
Bose said his family believed the only
leader to be a threat to Jawaharlal
Nehru was Subhas Chandra Bose. If, Netaji has really
dead and perished in the air crash, then why all this?
Obviously there was some element of fact that Bose
was alive, lurking around somewhere and would make
an appearance, he said.
The declassified files have revealed that Netajis close

relatives, including his two nephews Sisir Kumar
Bose and Amiya Nath Bose, sons of his brother Sarat
Chandra Bose were spied upon for 20 years between
1948 and 1968. Mr Nehru was Prime Minister for 16
of these 20 years.
Netaji quit the Congress before
Independence over differences with
Mr Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi
and launched an organised military
resistance against the British after
raising the Indian National Army. But
he was said to have died on August
18, 1945, two years before India won
freedom. Netajis death has been one
of the most enduring mysteries in
Indias history and has been debated
for decades.
Ardhendu Bose said, The conjecture
is Subhas Bose was made to disappear
in Siberia under the powers that
be in India at that time. Against
the backdrop of the snooping
controversy, Netajis grandnephew Surya Kumar Bose
met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Germany and
demanded declassification of all secret files related to
the freedom fighter.
Subhas Bose did not belong just to his direct family.

He had himself said that the whole country is his
family. I do not think its just the duty of the family to
raise this issue (of declassification of Netaji files),
Surya Kumar Bose, the president of the Indo-German
Association in Hamburg, said.

PM MODIS 3-NATION
VISIT PLACES INDIA
GLOBALLY
PM Modi undertook a three-nation tour as part of his attempts to woo
foreign investors and CEOs to start business in India. His trip includes cultural
programs, visits to war memorials and detailed bilateral talks. His public
functions are broadcasted across television channels and has found space
across newspaper front pages. Let us see what happened in each country.
FRANCE
Prime Minister Modi has held a
wide-range of consultations with
French Prime Minister Francois
Hollande and conducted roundtable discussions with French CEOs.
His pet theme was to give a boost to
the Make in India campaign and to
re-energize key infrastructure deals
with these countries. He also had a
naav pe charcha with Hollande as
he went on a cruise on the Seine
River with the French premier.
The following agreements were
signed.
1. A MOU between L&T and Areva aimed at cost reduction by increasing localisation and improve the financial
viability of the Jaitapur nuclear plant project in Maharashtra. Transfer of technology in this regard is also
enabled.
2. A MoU between ISRO and French National Centre for Space Studies (CNES) on the Indo-French Megha
Tropiques satellite which was launched on board the Indian launch vehicle PSLV on October 12, 2011.
3. India asked France to supply 36 Rafale fighter jets in fly-away condition. The deal was deemed landmark.
The deal is good news for the Indian Air Force which desperately needs more multi-role combat aircraft.
4. A MoU in the field of renewable energy was signed by respective ministries of the two countries.
16
5. A MoU to renew exchange and cooperation in the field of sports medicine, support of participation of women
and disabled in sports was also undertaken.

6. A railway protocol to develop semi high speed corridor in India was taken up by both countries.
7. Airbus, a leading aircraft manufacturer, promised to increase outsourcing in India from the present 400
million euros to 2 billion euros.
GERMANY
The media has widely covered
PMs visit to Germany especially
his inauguration of the famous
Hannover industrial fair along
with German Chancellor Angela
Merkel. Both leaders spoke in
favour of a free trade agreement
between the European Union and
India. PM Modi emphasized the
importance for the expansion of
India as a manufacturing hub. The
joint statement by both countries
recognized the establishment
of a working group on urban
development. PM Modi promised
to set up a mechanism to help German companies invest and do business in India.
While addressing a diaspora event in Berlin, he said that India would lead the way in dealing with climate change.
The two countries in the joint statement said, stronger educational exchanges will be encouraged along with
the collaborations between the universities.
CANADA
Modi became the first PM to
arrive in Canada in a stand-alone
bilateral visit in 42 years. Modi
held hectic talks with Canadian
PM Stephen Harper and addressed
a 8,000-strong audience of IndoCanadians at Torontos Ricoh
Coliseum. It was an event similar to
the PMs Madison Square Garden
event in the US.
Both countries signed an agreement
for long-term supply of Uranium to
India. Harper and Modi agreed to
increase collaboration in the fields
of energy efficiency, oil and gas development and renewable energy. India and Canada looked forward to an
investment of CAD $2.5 million in five health innovations in India by Grand Challenges Canada and its Indian
partner, the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology.
Air Canada has said that it plans to have direct flights from Toronto to New Delhi, an outcome from PMs bilateral
visit. Both leaders vowed to deepen cooperation in fighting against terrorism and violent extremism. 13 MoUs
were signed between the National Skill Development Council of India and 13 Canadian colleges, institutes and
Sector Skills Councils in the fields of agriculture, automotive, aviation, construction, healthcare, hydrocarbons
and IT.

On 25th April 2015 a 7.8 magnitude
earthquake has hit Nepal, which has killed
atleast 6200 people and injured more
than twice as many, as of 30 April 2015.
Its epicenter was approximately 34 km
east-southeast of Lamjung, Nepal and its
hypocenter was at a depth of approximately
15 km. It was the most powerful disaster to
strike Nepal since the 1934 Nepal Bihar
earthquake. The earthquake has triggered
an avalanche on Mount Everest, killing at
least 19, making it the deadliest day on
the mountain. It triggered another huge
avalanche in Langtang valley, where 250 are
now missing. Centuries-old buildings were
destroyed at UNESCO World Heritage sites in
the Kathmandu Valley, including some at the
Kathmandu Durbar Square, the Patan Durbar
Square and the Bhaktapur Durbar Square.
Continued aftershocks occurred throughout
Nepal, with one shock reaching a magnitude
of 6.7 on 26th April 2015 at 12:54:08 NST.

According to the USGS, the temblor was caused by a sudden thrust or release
of built-up stress, along the major fault line where the Indian Plate, carrying
India, is slowly diving underneath the Eurasian Plate, carrying much of Europe
and Asia. Kathmandu, situated on a block of crust approximately 120 km wide
and 60 km long, reportedly shifted 3 m (10 ft) to the south in just 30 seconds.

Born: 19 July 1827 Nagwa, Ballia district, Uttar Pradesh, India
Died: 8 April 1857 (aged 29) Barrackpore, Calcutta(now ), West Bengal, India
Mangal Pandey was born on 19 July 1827 in a Brahmin family in Nagwa, a village of
upper Ballia district, Uttar Pradesh. He joined the East India Companys army in 1849
at the age of 22. Pandey was a soldier in the 6th Company of the 34th Bengal Native
Infantry. Mangal Pandey is counted among the most popular figures associated with
Indias freedom struggle.
MANGAL PANDEY
was a YOUNG BRAHMIN
SOLDIER in the 34th

battalion. British officers
decided that the 19th
battalion was to have a trial
run of the newly acquired
cartridges, that had the coating
of cows / pigs fat, at Barakpur
near Kolkata. Before inserting
the cartridges in the guns, the
casing had to be removed with
ones teeth and thus the fat
would have to come in contact
with the soldiers mouth.
Therefore, the soldiers only refused to use
those cartridges and revolted against such an
experiment.

ritish officers did not react immediately as

they were outnumbered and decided to
call in for reinforcements and have British
soldiers from Burma (Mynamar) come in and
disarm the soldiers of that battalion, humiliate them
and throw them out. Mangal Pandey was enraged at
the idea of the humiliation of his brethren. Mangal
Pandey was a young man who revered his Dharma
more than his own life. An electrifying desire for
freedom was invoked within him and it surged
through his veins. His very sword seemed to become
impatient to be released from its sheath.
it was noon and Mangal Pandey was tired and as he

realized that he would be caught by the British, he
turned the gun towards his chest and fired. He fell on
the ground and lost consciousness. The British caught
him injured and was taken to the military hospital.
Within a week, he was tried in the Military Court. He
was asked to give the names of others who were the
part of his plan, but he did not disclose a single name.
He was sentenced to death. This harbinger, who has
sacrificed his life to prevent the insult of his brethren,
created so much of admiration among the people that
it became difficult to get a hangman for his execution
in the whole of Barakpur. Finally 4 persons from
Kolkata were brought in for the dirty job.

various places on 31st May. But Mangal Pandey could The leader of the contingent of which Mangal Pandey

They are famous for their dance which is an integral part of their culture.
Both men and women in the tribe participate in this activity to celebrate joyful occasions.
Kalbelias are known for their frequent movement from one place to another in ancient
times. Their main occupation is catching snakes and trading snake venom. Hence, the dance
movements and the costumes of their community bear a resemblance to that of the serpents.
They are also known as Sapera, Jogira or Jogi. They follow Hinduism.
33
INDIAN DIASPORA
CULTURE
Kalbelias trace their ancestry from Kanlipar, the 12th disciple of Guru Gorakhnath. The largest number
of the population of Kalbelias is in Pali district, then Ajmer, Chittorgarh and Udaipur district. They live
a nomadic life. Kalbelia men carry cobras in cane baskets from door to door in villages and their women
sang and danced and begged for alms. They revere the cobra and advocate non-killing of the reptile. In the
villages, if a snake inadvertently entered a home, then a Kalbelia would be summoned to catch the serpent
and to take it away without killing it.
Kalbelias traditionally lives in spaces outside the village, where they reside in makeshift camps called deras.
The Kalbelias move their deras from one place to another in a circuitous route repeated over time. Over the
generations, the Kalbelias acquired a unique understanding of the local flora and fauna and are aware of
herbal remedies for various diseases which are an alternative source of income for them. Today, performing
arts are a major source of income for them and these have received widespread recognition within and
outside India.
Kalbelia dance is performed to celebrate any joyful moment in the community and is an integral part of
Kalbelia culture. Their dances and songs are a matter of pride and marks of identity for the Kalbelias.
They represent the creative adaptation of this community of snake charmers to changing socioeconomic
conditions and their own role in rural Rajasthani society.
34
The dancers are women wearing flowing black skirts

that dance and swirl, replicating the movements of
a serpent. The upper body cloth is called Angrakhi
and a piece of cloth worn on head known as Odhani,
similarly the lower body cloth is called Lengha. All
these cloths are mixed with red and black hues and
embroidered in such a way that when these dancers
perform these clothes represent a
combination of colours soothing to
eyes as well as to the atmosphere.
The male participants take care of
the musical part of the dance. They
use different musical instruments
such as the pungi, a woodwind
instrument traditionally played to
capture snakes, dufli, khanjari, a
percussion instrument, morchang,
khuralio and the dholak to create
the rhythm on which the dancers
perform. The dancers are tattooed
in traditional designs and wear
jewelry and garments richly
embroidered with small mirrors and silver thread. As
the performance progresses, the rhythm becomes
faster and faster and so does the dance.
Kalbelia songs are based on stories taken from

folklore and mythology and special dances are
performed during Holi. The Kalbelia have a reputation
for composing lyrics spontaneously and improvising
songs during performances. These songs and dances
are part of an oral tradition that is handed down to
generations and for which there are neither texts
nor training manuals. In 2010, the
Kalbelia folk songs and dances of
Rajasthan were declared as part of
its Intangible Heritage List by the
UNESCO.

A
V
36
Iyengar or Ayyangar is a caste

of Hindu Brahmins of Tamil
origin whose members follow
the Visishtadvaita philosophy
propounded by Ramanuja. They
are mostly found in the Indian
states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka,
Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Iyengars are divided into two
religious sects, the Vadakalai
and the Thenkalai. They are
also classified based as per
gotra, or patrilineal descent.
The original language of the
Iyengar Brahmins is Tamil, but
they also speak Kannada and
Telugu. The Iyengar community
traces their origin in Tamil Nadu
from the period of Ramanuja.
Iyengars display a mark on
their forehead known as the
Srivaishnava Urdhva Pundra as
a caste mark.
37
INDIAN DIASPORA
TRADITION
The Iyengar community traces its philosophical

origins to Nathamuni, the first Sri Vaishnava
acharya, who lived around 900 CE. He is
traditionally believed to have collected the
4,000 works of Nammalvar and other alvars,
the poet-saints of southern India who were
intensely devoted to Vishnu on both emotional
and intellectual plane. The belief is that he
set this collection commonly called the Tamil
Prabhandams to music, and he introduced the
devotional hymns of the alvars into worship, thus
mixing the Tamil Veda with the traditional Vedas
written in Sanskrit.
A scriptural equivalence was accepted by the
community that formed in acceptance of his
works, with the Sanskrit texts considered to be
metaphysical truth and the Tamil oral variants
to be based on human experience of the same.
This community became immersed in the duallanguage worship in temples where issues of
caste were of no concern.
Later, Ramanuja became the principal among
religious leaders who formalised the efforts of
Nathamuni as a theology. Ramanuja developed
the philosophy of Visishtadvaita and has been
described by Harold Coward as the founding
interpreter of Sri Vaisnavite scripture. While
Anne Overzee says that he was a collator and
interpreter rather than an original thinker,
although showing originality in his method of
synthesising the Tamil and Sanskrit sources.
Ranjeeta Dutta has said that the two sets of
sources continued to be parallel to each other
and not incorporative at this time.
38
Nathamuni and Ramanuja were both Brahmins,

while Nammalvar was of the Vellala caste which
their community considered to be the lowest
varna, known as shudra. All three men were
Tamils, although Ramanuja documented his
thoughts in Sanskrit. The Vadakalai sects are also
referred to as the northern culture or school
and the Thenkalai sect are the southern variant.
These cultures refer the perceived prominence
given by the sects to the terse style of Sanskrit
traditions and the lyrical Tamil Prabhandams. The
Vadakalai favour Vedanta Desika as their acharya
and the Thenkalai prefer instead the teachings
of Manavala Mamuni. The sects share a common
allegiance to Nammalvar and Ramanuja and that
their subsequent significant thinkers wholly
accepted the authority and importance of both
linguistic styles.
Vedic philosophy holds that the supreme goal
in life is to attain the blissful state of Brahman
through moksha, being the process of liberation of
the suffering soul from the cycle of reincarnation.
Although eighteen points of difference between
the two Iyengar sects are generally recognised,
are referred to as the ashtadasa bhedas. Thenkalai
holds that devotion is all that is necessary and that
god will on his own initiative carry the devotee to
salvation, like a cat carrying a kitten. Vadakalai
holds that man has to win gods grace through his
efforts and he has to cling on to god, like an infant
monkey clinging on to its mother.
Unlike the Vadakali, the Thenkalai Iyengar sect rejects the caste system and has accepted Shudras
into its fold. The sect was founded by Pillai Lokacharya. Vadakalai Iyengars believe that it is necessary
to offer obeisance / prostration to God multiple times, while Thenkalai Iyengars believe that it is
enough if you offer obesaiance / prostration to God once. This is the reason as to why a Vadakalai
Iyengar is often seen prostrating four times, while Thenkalai Iyengars are seen prostrating only once.
A typical Iyengar wedding are made up of the following events:

him, IT DOESNT

On hearing this Sudama
felt very hurt & said,
WHAT CAN
BE DONE? WE
CANT ASK FOR
FAVORS FROM
ANYBODY.
Sudamas wife replied,
YOU TALK OF
KRISHNA SO
OFTEN. YOU
HAVE BEEN
SAYING THAT
YOU HAVE A
DEEP BOND OF
FRIENDSHIP
WITH HIM. HE
IS THE KING OF
DWARKA, SO
WHY DONT
YOU GO TO
HIM? THERE
40
Sudamas wife borrowed

some rice snacks from their
neighbor. She bound the
food in a piece of torn cloth
and gave it to her husband.
Sudama took the bundle
and left for Dwarka. On
seeing Dwarka, Sudama
was amazed. The entire
town was built with gold
and the people were very
well-off. He asked for
directions for Krishnas
palace & finally reached
there. On seeing Sudama
who looked like a hermit,
the palace guards asked,
Why have you

come here?
Sudama answered,
I want to meet
Krishna who is my
friend. Go & tell him
that Sudama has
come to meet him.
The guard smirked on
seeing Sudamas attire.
However, he hesitantly
went & informed Krishna
of Sudamas arrival. On
hearing Sudamas name,
Krishna immediately stood
up and ran to meet him.
Everyone looked in wonder
upon seeing such a great
King running bare-footed
to meet his poor friend.
Krishna took Sudama into
the palace. They recalled
their childhood days at
the Sandipanis school.
Seeing Krishnas wealth,
Sudama felt ashamed of
the rice snacks that he
had brought and tried
to hide the bundle, but
Krishna snatched it from
him. While enjoying the
snack Krishna said, I
have never tasted

such sweetness in
anything else.
Later, they sat to have their
meal which was served in
gold plates. Sudama felt
sad as he remembered his
hungry children at home.
He stayed at the palace for
two days but he couldnt
prepare himself to ask
Krishna for any favors. On
the third day, he got ready
to go back home. Krishna
embraced Sudama and
escorted him out as he bid
him farewell.
On the way back, Sudama
wondered, WHAT
SHALL I SAY
WHEN MY WIFE
ASKS ME WHAT
IVE BROUGHT
BACK?
As Sudama approached
home, he could not find
his hut! Instead, his
wife came out from a
magnificent palace, dressed
in elegant clothes. She
told Sudama, LOOK
AT KRISHNAS
MIGHT; WE HAVE
BEEN RID OF
OUR POVERTY.
KRISHNA HAS
ENDED ALL OUR
MISERIES. Sudama
recollected Krishnas pure
love and his eyes welled up
with tears of joy.
THE SELFLESS
DEVOTION IS THE

TO BE REMEMBERED
THAT WHEN WE

HOW TO WORK AN LDR

LONG
DISTANCE
RELATIONSHIP
Making a long distance

relationship (LDR) work is like
waking up early in the
morning and heading to the
gym. Why do I say that....?
Well, because just like
going to the gym needs some
determination, discipline and
dealing with, a long distance
relationship too requires the
same
The fact that you are away from your beloved can be very disheartening. With
the chances of getting distracted because of the physical absence of your man/
woman, long distance relationships can be tricky. But, what would you do to
make your relationship last? Or what are the things you would do to make your
partner stay interested in you without your full time presence. Here are a few
things we think will help keep that distant heart growing fonder by the day!
52
TALK AND
NOT STALK
SKYPE HYPE
Getting minute by minute

updates may seem
cute initially but if you
want this long distance
romance (LDR) to work,
then you have to give
each other space. Talk
every alternate day so
you do have something
more to share otherwise,
monotony could step in
and ruin things.
TEXTING
+ SEX
= SEXTING
Everybody loves a
little bit of dirty talking.
In an LDR, while
everything else adds
to the growth, a little
of sexting always
helps keep each
other interested.
Webcam date anyone? Get yourselves a

webcam and have a video chat... Make
it exciting, probably dress up for each
other, have a meal and a drink through
the webcam. If thats not enough, then
spice things up a little. Ladies, you can
show off your sexy lingerie and show him
what hes missing out on.
TAKE A DIRTY
PICTURE FOR ME
SURPRISE,
SURPRISE
GAME ON
Keep the romance alive

no matter how far you are
away from the one you
love. Send surprises to
each other; send some love
in the form of just about
anything. Get working on
your creativity and dont
repeat ideaslet a surprise
be a surprise and dont play
spoil sport by letting out
the secret in advance!
Boys will be boys, and

so their love for gaming
lives on. If youve got
yourself a gamer boy, then
get online and both of you
join a multiplayer game.
Turn on the
competitiveness via
gaming, and trust when we
say, hell find it turning on
as well.
In todays world of Blackberrys,

Androids, Windows Phone and the works,
sending pictures of yourself to your partner
isnt rocket science. Listen to Kesha
and Taio Cruzs song Dirty Picture; its a
lesson by itself.

HEALTHY LIVING
EAT
RIGHT TO
PROTECT
YOUR
EYESIGHT!
Healthy eyes and good
vision play critical role in
life of all age groups.
Eggs: Like Spinach and other leafy greens, eggs

are also good source of lutein and zeaxanthin.
The Vitamin A in eggs may protect from
night blindness and dry eyes. In one study,
researchers found that lutein levels increased
by 26%, while zeaxanthin levels increased by
38% when subjects ate one egg per day. They
also found that eating an egg-a-day did not
impact LDL or HDL cholesterol or triglycerides.
54
As eyes are the most precious possessions,

take care of your eyes. Falling vision
is most commonly seen with aging but
nowadays with lack of proper diet and
vitamins, even the children are suffering
from lack of vision. Also the doctors
have proved that lifestyle diseases like
diabetes and obesity can also have a
detrimental impact on your eyesight.
Experts suggest that the same diet that
helps your heart is probably good for
your eyes. Probably carrots and orange
colored fruits and vegetables promote
good eye sight as they contain Betacarotene but apart from that there are
many foods which promoted good vision.
Best foods for eyesight:
Protecting your eyes starts with the food
on your plate. Nutrients such as omega-3
fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and
E might help ward off age-related vision
problems such as macular degeneration
and cataracts. Researchers say eating
foods rich in antioxidants is better than
taking supplements.So here are the
top foods that are good at promoting
eyesight, try to consume them more in
your regular diet.
Fish: Usually fishes are rich

in omega 3 fatty acids which
help in protecting against dry
eyes, macular degeneration
and even cataracts. Among all
types of fishes, Salmon, tuna,
Sardines and Mackerel are
good for eyesight. If you dont
eat seafood, you can get a good
supply of omega-3s by using
fish oil supplements or taking
vegetarian supplements that
contain black currant seed oil
or flaxseed oil.
Tomatoes: Tomatoes contain

carotenoids,
including
lycopene, which helps give
tomatoes their vibrant red
color. The experts have proved
that lycopene present in
ocular tissues helps prevent
light-induced damage to the
retina and other areas of the
eye. Even tomatoes are rich
in Vitamin C which is another
vision protector.
Whole grains: A diet containing

foods with a low glycemic
index (GI) can help reduce your
risk for age-related macular
degeneration. Swap refined
carbohydrates for quinoa,
brown rice, whole oats and
whole-wheat breads and pasta.
The vitamin E, zinc and niacin
found in whole grains also help
promote overall eye health.
Citrus fruits and berries:

Oranges, grapefruits, lemons
and berries are high in vitamin
C, which may reduce the risk
of cataracts and macular
degeneration.
Olive oil: A diet that is low

in Trans and saturated fat
helps prevent retina diseases.
Several studies suggest that a
Mediterranean-style diet (fish,
plant-based foods, and healthy
fats) is recommended for
healthy vision. Olive oil is free of
trans fats and low in saturated
fat. So, scientists proved that
subjects consuming most of
olive oil were 48% less likely to
develop ARMD.
Nuts: Nuts like Almonds,

walnuts, pistachios are rich in
omega 3 fatty acids and Vitamin
E which helps in promoting
good vision.
Colorful fruits and vegetables:

Foods like Carrots, tomatoes,
bell peppers, strawberries,
pumpkin, corn are rich sources
of Vitamin A and C. And
carotenoids which give color
to these compounds help
decrease the risk of many eye
diseases.
Fish Oil, Flaxseed Oil and Black

Currant Seed Oil: These super
supplements contain omega-3
fatty acids and have many
eye health benefits, including
helping to prevent or control
dry eye syndrome as well as
reduce the risk of macular
degeneration and cataracts.
Leafy greens: Lutein and

zeaxanthin are important plant
pigments for eye health. The
leafy vegetables are packed
with
those
antioxidants
which help in lowering the
risk of developing macular
degeneration and cataracts.
Broccoli, peas and avocados
are also good sources of this
powerful antioxidants

Kanchipuram, the Cholas of the 10th-century and

the 14th and 15th century were all ardent devotees
of Lord Venkateshwara. It was under the patronage of
the Emperors of the Vijayanagara dynasty, specially
Sri Krishna Deva Raya, that this temple gained most
of its current size and wealth.
An idol of Raja Todar Mal, who was the revenue
minister of Mughal Emperor, Akbar the Great, can
still be found standing in this temple. The kings of
Garhwal and Mysore were also ardent devotees of
Lord Venkateshwara, who also donated generously
for the betterment of this holy place.
After 1843, with the coming of the Madras Presidency
under the British Raj, this temple along with several
other important Hindu shrines was entrusted to Seva
Dossji of the Hathiramji Mutt, who is also known as
the Vicaranakarta.

days Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which

a diamond studded crown and his body is dressed
with yellow clothing which is tied with a gold belt

in this shrine, as it self-manifested over here
sometime during the ancient ages.

right hand rests on his lap, the left hand of this idol
is akimbo.

meeting began at 16:30, General
Dyer, the military commander of
Amritsar, arrived with a group
of sixty-five Gurkha and twentyfive Balochi soldiers into the
Bagh. Fifty of them were armed
with .303 Lee-Enfield bolt-action
rifles. Dyer had also brought two
armored cars armed with machine
guns; however, the vehicles were
left outside, as they were unable to
enter the Bagh through the narrow
entrance. The Jallianwala Bagh was
surrounded on all sides by houses
and buildings and had few narrow
entrances. Most of them were kept
permanently locked. The main
entrance was relatively wide, but
was guarded heavily by the troops
backed by the armoured vehicles.
Apart from the

many deaths
directly from the
shooting, a
number of people
died in stampedes
at the narrow
gates or by
jumping into the
solitary well
on the compound
to escape the
shooting. Nearly
120 bodies were
pulled out of the
well.
The misery suffered by the people

was reflected in Rattan Devis
account. She was forced to keep
a nightlong vigil, armed with
a bamboo stick to protect her
husbands body from jackals and
vultures. Curfew with shoot-atsight orders had been imposed
from 2000 hours that night. Rattan
Devi stated, I saw three men
writhing in great pain and a boy of
about 12. I could not leave the place.
The boy asked me for water but there
was no water in that place. At 2 am,
a Jat who was lying entangled on
the wall asked me to raise his leg. I
went up to him and took hold of his
clothes drenched in blood and raised
him up. Heaps of bodies lay there, a
number of them innocent children. I
shall never forget the sight. I spent the
night crying and watching.
Dyer, without warning the crowd to disperse,

blocked the main exits. He explained later that
this act was not to disperse the meeting but
to punish the Indians for disobedience. Dyer
ordered his troops to begin shooting towards the
densest sections of the crowd. Firing continued
for approximately ten minutes. Cease-fire was
ordered only when ammunition supplies were
exhausted, after approximately 1,650 rounds
were spent. Many people died in stampedes at
the narrow gates or by jumping into the solitary
well on the compound to escape the shooting.

HISTORY
On 14 OCTOBER 1919, after orders

issued by the Secretary of State for India, Edwin
Montagu, the Government of India announced
the formation of a committee of inquiry into the
events in Punjab. On 19 November, Dyer was
called to appear before the Commission. Dyer
stated that he had come to know about the
meeting at the Jallianwala Bagh at 12:40 hours,
but did not attempt to prevent it. He stated that
he had gone to the Bagh with the deliberate
intention of opening fire, if he found a crowd
assembled there. Dyer explained his sense of
honour by saying, I think it quite possible that I
could have dispersed the crowd without firing but
they would have come back again and laughed
and I would have made, what I consider, a fool of
myself.
rebels. He said he did not stop the shooting

when the crowd began to disperse because he
thought it was his duty to keep shooting until the
crowd dispersed and that a little shooting would
not do any good. In fact he continued the shooting
until the ammunition was almost exhausted. He
stated that he did not make any effort to tend to
the wounded after the shooting: Certainly not.
It was not my job. Hospitals were open and they
could have gone there.
A young Sikh teenager who was being raised at

Khalsa Orphanage named Udham Singh saw the
happening with his own eyes. He vowed to avenge
the Amritsar massacre. On 13th March 1940

TECHNOLOGY
Gone are the nasty plastics of Galaxy past. No faux
leather finish as with the Note here either. Instead,
the S6 has a metal chassis, and glass covering the
front and back. The fit and finish makes you want to
use words such as chamfer, roundel and drilled,
whatever they mean. While the S6 Edge gets a racy
green finish to itself, the S6 gets a surfy blue. Both
phones alternatively come in charcoal, white and gold
the finish is described by Samsung as jewel-like.
Fortunately its classier than that sounds. The metal edges
are almost imperceptibly darker from the white version to
the charcoal version.
SAMSUNG GALAXY S6
The glass back and the front screen edges curve slightly into
the chassis, and theres a very thin bezel on either side of the
5.1in, QHD Super AMOLED screen. Yep, no 4K screen but
that was never the most desirable of the S6 rumours anyway.
Despite the addition of all this glass and metal, the new S6 is
lighter than the outgoing S5, albeit by only an imperial smidge. It
feels solid and balanced, with a more traditional hand feel than the
S6 Edges sharp sides. The power button is situated in the center
of the right-hand side of the phone, above the pin-and-socket type
SIM tray, and the volume controls are high up on the left side. The
top has only a wee microphone hole and the IR sender. Theres much
action on the bottom edge, with the headphone socket, microUSB and
a newly placed, power-boosted speaker. Samsung say its 1.5x louder,
a fact that we were unable to verify having left our portable anechoic
chamber on the train. Its got a lovely drilling, that speaker, but we
daresay that HTCs twin front-mounted BoomSound setup will still be the
choice of the boom-tish social misfit.

Its hard to pin down a specific thing that makes the Apple Watch special, but having worn one for
almost two weeks now, its become an important, valuable part of my everyday life.
In some ways its the ultimate gadget. A device that no-one needs but that oozes desirability, that
doesnt change any aspect of life in a substantial way but makes a number of subtle improvements that
you wouldnt want to give up.
You cant say its greater than the sum of its parts because
we dont know what all of the parts are. Some derided
the iPhone at its launch. Almost no-one saw the point
of the iPad when that was announced. And Im sure
I dont need to tell you that those have both been
rather successful since. Thats because Apple had
built not just desirable devices, but also powerful
platforms full of opportunities for the worlds
app developers.
The Watch is and will be a similar story. Its a very
cool gadget - more desirable and more luxurious
than the smartwatches that have gone before it,
but also a platform that will be supported and
stretched by more app developers than the likes
of Pebble or Android Wear can realistically attract.
The right now of the Apple Watch is pretty great. But
the future of Apple Watch is really amazing.

The Cowon EK2 features 10mm dynamic drivers, 16 Ohms of impedance, 103dB
sensitivity, a 20-20,000Hz frequency range and a 1.2m flat cable. Its a lightweight
headset as well, since the casing is made entirely of plastic. The matte finish looks good,
although the green of our review sample was a bit too bright and gaudy for our taste.
Luckily there are more sensible colour options available, and in our opinion the black one
looks best. The Cowon EK2 in-ears are open-backed, and the grille is visible on the back
of each casing. As far as looks go, this is an interesting change from the vast majority of
in-ears which have closed backs. Along with the engraved text on the back, this gives the
casing an industrial look and feel. The rest of the unit is pretty standard, with a flat cable
and Android-friendly in-line remote being the only noteworthy bits.

FIVE ELEMENTS
Cosmos is full
of

energies which
we must learn to
tack as well as
keep in balance,
to
experience
a state of wellbeing.
Energy
is
essentially
emanated
by
two forces, the
five
elements
and the electromagnetic energy
generated by the
rotation of earth.
Sun, air and space
are universally
available
and
can be molded in
accordance with
human needs.
EARTH - There is the first and

foremost element of nature which
exerts maximum energy. The selection
of site is considered very important in
Vastu element. A detailed inspection
of soil, plot, site, shape and size has
to be done before commencing the
construction. Earth (prithvi) is the
most important element in Vastu and
influence human lives in every way.
WATER This is present on earth in
the form of rain, ocean, sea and rivers.
It is the second foremost element
considered in Vastu. Water is an
element of north-east. As far as the
flow of domestic water is concerned,
it should be drained out of northeast only. The water bodies such as
swimming pool and aquarium etc need
to be made in north-east, this direction
is auspicious and suitable for water
FIRE - This is considered as an element
of south-east. In a house kitchen fire
or electrical gadgets shall be place
in south-east. Light is the essence
of life and sun is the natural light
giver. Fire is the basis of all sources
of energy including thermal power

and atomic power. There should be
proper ventilation for sunlight being
necessary and natural source of light
for human beings.
SPACE
AIR - This is a necessary thing for all

living on earth. Air is an important
element. Air is an element of northeast. Air consists of various gases on
earth like oxygen, nitrogen, helium,
carbon dioxide etc. A balanced
percentage of different gases,
atmospheric pressure and humidity
level are important for living beings on
this earth.
SPACE - Sky is never ending and our
space is full of constellations, galaxies,
star, moon, sun and all the nine planets.
It is also known as Brahamand, the
place of god. Indian houses used to
have open space in the centre of
the house. Akash is a brahmasthan
which should be an open place, any
disturbance related to space in house
would lead to detrimental results.

ETERNAL SOUL
OF EVERY

not descriminate between

Meaning of Verse
O descendant of Bharata, he who dwells in the
body is eternal and can never be slain. Therefore
you need not grieve for any creature.
Meaning of Shloka
dehi--the owner of the material

body
nityameternally
avadhyah--cannot be killed
ayam--this soul
dehe--in the body
sarvasya--of everyone
bharata--O descendant of
Bharata
tasmattherefore
sarvani--all; bhutani--living
entities (that are born)
The eternal soul embodied within the

physical body regardless whether it is
a human earthly body or the physical
bodies possessed by the demigods in the
heavenly spheres; the immortal soul is
eternally invulnerable even though the
body perishes. Hence understanding
this principle as fundamental, whatever
diversity and variegated in the forms of
bodies born from the womb of a female
who was also conceived in the womb of a
female that exists from the demigods down
through the human species as well as to
the animal species and the fish species and
even including the immovable plants and
trees it should be clearly understood that
equanimity prevails regarding the essential
nature of the immortal soul abiding therein
whatever the bodily form, is eternal.
Whereas, the physical body is transient.
So Arjuna is being instructed that factually
according to this proper understanding
regarding all living entities, he has no basis
to lament for any being.
Lord Krishna speaks of the soul within
the body of a every living entity indicating
different bodies for different species
all being receptacles of enjoyment in
variegated ways. But due to the reality that
all souls are immortal it does not behove
Arjuna to lament as the soul is always
entering into various external forms until
liberation has been achieved.
Lord Krishna establishes that the soul
is immortal and the body is temporary.
Therefore Arjuna as a ksatriya should
not abandon his duty out of fear that his
grandfather and teacher, Bhisma and
Drona, will die in the battle. Though the soul
is immortal, violence is not encouraged,
but at the time of war it is not discouraged
when there is actual need for it. That need
must be justified in terms of the sanction of
the Lord and not capriciously.

socitum--to lament

Analysis
The first half of the film has been racy with power packed action episodes
and powerful dialogues which make the audience stick to their seats and
watch the film interesting. On the whole the first half of the movie has
been gripping and sensible enough.
The second half of Gabbar Is Back has dipped at times but the accident
sequences have been managed well. The songs have been poorly shot
which makes the film fall at times. But the climax of the movie elevates the
film which makes it a decent watch.
Final Word
Gabbar Is Back is an out and out
commercial film with all the masala
needed. The gripping screenplay
and the dialogues along with some
emotional climax make the movie a
must watch.

Exclusive Interview
I AM NOT A FOOL TO
HURT OTHER RELIGIONS
Legendary actor Kamal Haasan, is back with yet another period drama
Uttama Villain.
On the eve of the films release, we caught

up with Kamal sir for a brief interview. Lets
see what he has to say.
Q)Why do you face

so many problems to
release your films ?
Off late, it has become a
problem to release films
in India. There are many
people who are ready
to bring your film down
for no reason. This is a
democratic country, and
everybody should have
the right to showcase or
speak what ever they feel
like.
88
l n

m

H
Q)Your film has received

an U certificate. But
why did some Hindu
organizations go against
the film?
India is a country
which has 75% Hindu
population, and I would
be a fool to make a
film which will hurt
their sentiments. In
fact, everyone should
understand that I want
people
from
every
religion to watch my
films.
Q) Why did you choose
Ramesh Aravind as the
director ?
Even though I have
written the script and
screenplay, I wanted
someone who can depict
it well on screen. Ramesh
is an old friend and an
wonderful actor himself.
He was the apt choice
and has directed the film
superbly.
Q)How was the whole
experience
working
with your gurus K
Balachander
and
Vishwananth ?
I have already worked
with them in many films
in the past, and like
always I had a wonderful
time working with them.
Q)The
visuals
are
spectacular and looks

like a number of dances
are involved in the film.
Tell us about that ?
Yes ! there are a number
of
classical
dances
involved in the film,
and the group dancers
who have worked for
the film are the best in
the country. We have
rehearsed for so many
days and the output is
just wonderful ?
Q)Is Uttama Villain an
art film ?
There is nothing called
art cinema. Everything
what we make is for the
public and its commercial.
There is a lot of money
involved and we want
people to watch our film
and appreciate us.
Q)What care have you
taken for the Telugu
version ?
I have worked very hard

for the Telugu version,
and was involved right
from the beginning.
I should also thank
producer C Kalyan for
promoting the film so
well.
Q)Tell us about
female leads ?
the
Both Andrea and Pooja

have done a wonderful
job. They suit their
characters well and will
be liked by one and all.
It wouldnt be an exaggeration if I said Kamal

Haasan is controversys favourite child. The
talented actors much-awaited film Uttama
Villain was suppose to release today however
it wont as there is trouble brewing between
the producers and financiers of the film. For
now, all the shows of Kamal Haasan starrer
have been cancelled across India. Though we
dont know what exactly the issue is but we
hear Uttama Villain should be playing across
theatres by evening. Thats what we have
learnt however only time will tell if Haasans
film will hit the screens today or not. Directed
by Ramesh Aravind, Uttama Villain is a
comedy drama peanned by Shruti Haasans
daddy dearest himself.
While we hope things get sorted between the
producers and financiers of Uttama Villain
soon, this isnt the first time that Kamal
Haasans film has faced problems. In 2013,
Vishwaroopam was banned by Tamil Nadu
government despite getting clearance from
Central Board of Film Certification.

either initially reluctant to take a chance working with me
or who outright laughed at me behind my back, Kendall

may fall back into old bad habits and start dating Justin
Bieber again since her good friend Taylor Swift has found
love with Calvin Harris. The Heart wants what it wants

James Franco Likes To Make His Audience

Uncomfortable
Channing Tatums Birthday: Shirtless Moments of Magic

Mike
Actor James Franco, who features in I Am Michael, about

a gay activist who denounces homosexuality to become a
Christian pastor, feels films that raise relevant questions
in the society, are important. In I Am Michael, Franco stars
alongside Emma Roberts and Zachary Quinto. Theres the
coming out narrative, the fighting for rights narrative, the
closeted secret affair narrative, like we saw in Brokeback
Mountain.
Oh Fish! It is the birthday of our handsome Magic Mike actor,

Channing Tatum. The handsome stripper on-screen turns 35
today (26th April, 2015). The American actor, film producer,
dancer, and model rose to fame after his breakthrough role was
in the 2006 dance film Step Up, which introduced him to a wider
audience. However, we especially women would only love to
know Tatum for his portrayal as Magic Mike in the 2012 comedy
film Magic Mike, which he produced. The movie was inspired by
his early life.

ARIES
Uranus in Aries and Jupiter
in Leo are your allies. It is
good to take risks as you
will succeed. Low profile
is not recommended, on
the contrary, show who
you are, be confident
in your skills and your
personal charm. If you
are starting a new job,
you will be able to prove
yourself. Listen, engage
contact, and work. When
there are some coffee
breaks go and introduce
yourself. If you are in a
long term relationship, you
are questioning its future.
Dialogue is the best, avoid
confrontation and dont
start with the sentence
we need to talk as it can
be scary.
CANCER
TAURUS
Mars is in Taurus until
the 13, enjoy this extra
energy and charge your
schedule, as you will be
ok. Mercury is in your
financial sector the whole
month, so you will focus
on your budget and ask
for a raise or a bonus. You
think you deserve it and
it is the good time to ask
for it, your chances to get
it are high. Your schedule
is busy with girlfriends
after the 8th. If you are
looking for love, it can be
scary for a man to see you
surrounded by women
friends. If you are a man,
you like them and they
like you but thats all.
You spend comfortable
moments with your family,
cocooning is good.
GEMINI
Wait for May 8 and Venus arrival in your sign

to see your love life get much better. If you are
single, love is around the corner, say yes to any
invitation even from your sister or brother. If
anyone wants to introduce you to someone, be
curious and open-minded, shut your prejudices
down. If you already have someone in your
life, you get along so well and easy that you are
happy, sharing a good energy around you. Family
is important and you care for your mother or
father. Spend some time with your parents, you
will feel good, Venus in Cancer gives you a deeper
sense of family.
LEO
Jupiter is still giving some great
events in your life. Vacations in a
nice destination, family events like
birthdays and anniversaries, friends
organizing parties and wanting you
as special guest. Your popularity is
high. Focus on friends as love can
be frustrating, either your loved
one is busy with work or he or she
just needs some space. Dont be
clingy, it does not work well and you
dont really need that attitude to get
love. Lilith in Virgo gives you a great
sense of realism about your money.
No stupid choices, no compulsive
buying, you are reasonable for your
own good.
Mercury is in your sign the whole month of May and it

increases your thinking about life and intellectual subjects.
If you are student, your chances of success for any test or
exam are high, it is easy to study and remember what you
learn. Looking for a job, multiply the interviews, send more
inquiries, open your network, be more visible on the Web
and you will for sure find a job that corresponds to what you
expect. Venus stays in Gemini until the 8th, your love life is
really great. In a long-term relationship, you make plans for
the future.
98
STARGAZING
VIRGO
SAGITTARIUS
Lilith in your sign opens your eyes about what you want in life.
You may take some important decisions this month, moving
out, changing job or breaking up with your loved one or some
old friends who are too different from you now, you may catch
up later with them but for now you need some distance. You
will act very efficiently, always organized. You control your
emotions when it could hurt. People may not understand your
need for self-protection, you know very well how to create a
shield, and you dont show your sensitiveness to everyone.
SCORPIO
Love is romantic this month and
you find many ways to enrich
the relationship, having fun and
playing sexy games, you get words
of love and flowers too. The more
you give, the more you get from
your partner, especially if he
or she is Leo or Pisces or Aries.
Work is less crazy this month than
previously but still it is pretty fast
as a rhythm. But this is a kind
of pressure that you can put up
with. Some Scorpios are waiting
for an important signature and it
will happen mid-May. Mind the
details. You want to change you
attitude about administrative
papers.
This month is really busy professionally,

expect to see piles of work coming every
day on your desk. You may have the
feeling that it is endless. Until the 14th it
is hard and then it becomes a little lighter.
Love is complicated as you dont know
exactly what you want in the relationship.
Up and down in your mood, you are going
to drive your loved one crazy. Aries or Leo
will be ok with those shift but Taurus and
Scorpios will not be patient with you. You
prepare a trip and it puts you in a better
mood after the 28th.
LIBRA
North node in Libra encourages

you to sort your priorities in
life. And it may not be easy to
know what comes first, love
or career and you may change
your mind all the time. It is
complicated to really choose.
Take it day by day. You dont
want to give up your career
and your independence but
you also want to have a private
life and maybe a child and
time for a quiet life. Venus
gives good vibes in your work,
women are treating you nicely
and if your boss is a woman,
she trusts you and wants you
to progress. Listen to her
advice.
AQUARIUS
Everyone knows you as the person most likely to make
a difference in other peoples lives, but is that enough?
Probably not! Your need to feel socially useful trumps
all else on the 4th and 5th, so finding a charity event to
attend or a cause to sponsor is your number one priority.
Youre determined to throw off all of the limitations that
are placed on you on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, and if
anyone can succeed despite the incredible odds stacked
against them, its you. Throw caution to the wind and
carry on despite the people who are telling you you cant
do it. Youre a pioneer, an explorer.
CAPRICORN
Love is passionate until the 14th, you
spend all your evenings together,
never having enough of each other.
Complicity and tenderness are also
important as much as sensuality
and passion. Work is gratifying, and
you spend extra hours after May
22nd. Your boss will be happy with
the quality of work you provide,
everything is done on time and well.
You are sometimes too perfectionist
and it slows you down. Let go of some
details. A new coworker is bringing
some competition, thanks to Mars in
Gemini, you will speed up to win, a
healthy competition.
PISCES
Listen to your intuition it is crystal clear and it is
helping you to make the best choices. Friends or work,
you know exactly what you should do and what you
should avoid. If you are fed up with a friendship you
dont need to force yourself to keep the relationship.
Love is complex because of you, good mood, bad
mood, you dont control it. You take some words very
seriously and you react strongly even when he or she
is just joking. Relax and put yourself to the same level.
You need to sleep more and to take some vitamins to
keep a mood that could be more even.
