कौशकी राठौर…मासूमियत से निखरती हर अदा में क़त्ल करने का हुनर

…….लेकिन कुछ ही चेहरे ऐसे है जिनकी तस्वीर आँखों में समा जाती है और लाख मुद्दतों बाद में उसकी रौनक धूमिल नहीं पड़ती” जाने ये कौन मेरी रूह को छूकर ग़ुज़रा, एक क़यामत हुई बेदार…ख़ुदा ख़ैर करे! आई ज़ंजीर की झनकार ख़ुदा ख़ैर करे.!! फिल्म रजिया सुल्तान में कब्बन मिर्ज़ा की बेमिसाल आवाज में इस गाने के हर एक बोल, दिल में किसी तीर की तरह आर पार हो जाते हैं. खूबसूरती और उस पर चढ़ता जवानी का नशा, किस कदर किसी को अपना दिवाना बनाता है, इस गाने के के जरिए मिर्जा साहब ने इसे बड़ी ही मासूमियत से फरमाने की कोशिश की है. हालांकि उस दौर में खुदा खैर करे तो को अपनी तरह की एकलौती अभिनेत्री हेमा मालिनी पर फिल्माया गया था. लेकिन आज के दौर में इस तरह के जहन की गहराई में उतर जाने वाले गाने को, फिल्माए जाने के लिए किसी ऐसे चेहरे की जरुरत महसूस होती है जो मासूमियत की ऊंचाईयां को पार करता हुआ हॉटनेस की नयी परिभाषा को जन्म देने की काबिलियत रखता हो. “मिलावट है तेरे हुस्न में “इत्र” और “शराब” की, तभी मैं थोड़ा महका हूं, थोड़ा सा बहका हूं…” यूँ तो भारतीय फिल्म और टीवी इंडस्ट्री में ऐसे कई चेहरे हैं जो एक नजर में दिल को भा जाते हैं लेकिन कुछ ही चेहरे ऐसे है जिनकी तस्वीर आँखों में समा जाती है और लाख मुद्दतों बाद में उसकी रौनक धूमिल नहीं पड़ती. कौशिकी राठौर एक ऐसा ही चमकता दमकता सितारा है जिसने अपनी अदायिकी से तो सबको दिवाना बनाया ही है साथ ही ट्रेडिशनल और मॉडर्न युग की सुंदरता का बेमिसाल उदाहरण पेश किया है. कौशिकी मुंबई की बारिश में आग लगाने से लेकर स्टार प्लस के मशहूर शो, कृष्ण चली लन्दन, तक का एक बेहतरीन सफर पूरा करने के साथ अपनी अदायिकी और हॉटनेस से तमाम युवा दिलों पर राज करने का का हुनर कमाया है. कहते हैं तस्वीरें बोलती हैं, और इसमें कोई आश्चर्य नहीं हैं कि कौशिकी की हर अदा किसी जंजीर की झंकार से कम नहीं है और यही वजह है कि लेख की पहली लाइन में कब्बन मिर्ज़ा के गीत को लिखना एक मजबूरी महसूस होने लगती है. प्रोफेशनल फ्रंट पर बात करें तो स्टार प्लस के मशहूर शो कृष्णा चली लन्दन में गुड्डन का किरदार निभाने वाली कौशिकी को जल्द ही एक वेब सीरीज में देखा जायेगा। एक्टिंग के साथ-साथ मॉडलिंग और फोटोग्राफी का शौक रखने वाली कौशिकी, हाल में हुए एक फोटोशूट में अपने तड़कते भटकते बोल्ड अंदाज में भी दिखी थी। गुस्से से दूर खुशमिजाजी को अपने पास रखने में यकीन करने वाली कौशिकी शो कृष्णा चली लन्दन में गुड्डन के किरदार में देखा गया था, जहां उन्हें उनकी एक्टिंग के लिए दर्शकों की काफी सराहना मिली थी. गुड्डन ने भाभी के किरदार में थोड़ी पागल और चुलबुल भाभी की भूमिका निभाते हुए सबका दिलजीत लिया था। कौशिकी असल में भी काफी चुलबुली स्वभाव की है. दूरदर्शन के लिए काम कर चुकी कौशिकी जल्द ही एक वेब सीरीज में भी दिखने वाली है. हाल ही में दिए अपने एक इंटरव्यू में उन्होंने बताया कि उन्हें गुस्सा बहुत कम आता है और बचपन से ही सिगिंग और डांसिंग का शौक रखती है. मीडिया रिपोर्ट्स के मुताबिक कौशिकी ने मेरा इंतकाम गाने से पहले एक बोल्ड फोटो शूट भी कराया था जिसकी सोशल मीडिया पर लम्बे समय तक चर्चा रही थी।

Quote by Ms. Beksy Kariakose, Head – Fixed Income, Principal Mutual Fund on RBI Monetary Policy 2019

“RBI’s MPC action today is significant as the key rates were cut by 35 bps (repo at 5.40% and reverse repo at 5.15%) indicating that RBI is willing to see rate changes in less than 25 bps steps. While broad market and we were expecting 25 bps, the 35 bps cut with a vote for 4-2 in favour indicates RBI taking cognizance of clarion call by government and industry for bigger rate cuts in backdrop of limitation by fiscal policy to step up and for monetary policy to do the heavy lifting to address the domestic and global growth slowdown. Several global central banks including notably the US FoMC have in the last month cut rates and in environment of still benign headline, domestic inflation and recent sharp fall in global crude oil prices this action is not out of place. Real GDP projections have also been revised downwards with FY20 full year forecast reduced by 10 bps. An important takeaway in backdrop of DHFL crisis is that the RBI governor during the press conference subsequently has indicated that it is important to look at the total outstandings comprehensively when any resolution process is undertaken indicating that RBI is aware of the flaw in the current stressed asset guidelines which covers only banks and NBFCs and excludes other debt capital market investors. Governor indicated that they are having a inter regulator meeting to address same. Perhaps clarity on this matter maybe expected soon. In the Statement of Developmental and Regulatory Policies, with respect to debt market incremental measures have been announced for enabling credit flow to NBFC sector viz: bank’s exposure to single NBFC has been raised from 15 to 20% of Tier I capital of the bank. Further definition of priority sector lending has been relaxed to enable banks to lend to NBFCs who onlend to such sectors. Post policy gilt prices have seen correction as rate cut had been more or less factored in the rally which has lasted for couple of months now. Short term corporate bonds have seen about 5 bps downward movement. Long term corporate bonds are at similar levels as pre policy. Going forward we expect gilt yields to remain range bound in the overall environment of ample banking system liquidity, subdued inflation and recent global weakness and fall in oil prices. Money market yields should also remain stable with downward bias.”

In a study conducted in working men and women in Andhra Pradesh, wearing spectacles was found to increase productivity by 34% and worker’s income by 20%.Out of 7.2 billion people in the world, it is estimated that 4.5 billion need visual correction in some form or another, whereas only 2 billion are corrected. This means there are 2.5 billion people in the world today with uncorrected vision, and this number is set to rise to 3 billion by 2030 if the trend continues. About 95% of the 2.5 billion uncorrected populations are in emerging countries. India has about 40,000 opticians, most of who operate from bigger cities whereas over 70% of population in India lives in rural areas. To address this issue, Eye Mitra Optician program was launched in 2013. Through training, skills building and livelihood promotion, the program empowers unemployed and underemployed young people to set up micro enterprises in their rural communities. Trained for 12 months (2 months classroom and 10 months On Job Training)to conduct basic vision screening and dispense affordable eyeglasses, Eye Mitras create access to vision care where it was not available before. Today with nearly 6,000 Eye Mitras across 14 states, it is the world’s largest rural optical network providing over 200 million people with sustainable access to vision care. By 2020 plan is to have 10,000 such eye mitracovering most of the underserved states. “Uncorrected poor vision is the world’s most widespread disability and affects 1 in 3 people, 90 per cent of whom live in developing countries where the biggest barriers are access and awareness. Consumers in these countries need tailor-made solutions and products at affordable prices to satisfy their visual needs and aspirations. The Eye Mitra program is one such unique solution,” said MilindJadhav Senior Director – Inclusive Business & Philanthropy – Essilor In Rajasthan, Essilor is implementing the Eye MitraOptician program in partnership with B-ABLE (BASIX Academy for Building Lifelong Employability) which is the vocational training arm of the BASIX group of livelihood promotion institutions. B-ABLE is NSDC (National Skill Development Corporation) & HSSC (Health Sector Skill Council) partner. First training centre was set up in Alwar in 2013 and at present we have 4 such training centres. More than 1,000 Eye Mitra Opticians are working in 31 districts of Rajasthan and plan is to have 1500 eye Mitras by end of 2020. About 2.5 New Vision Generation and the Eye Mitra program In 2013, Essilor, leading ophthalmic optics company, established its inclusive business 2.5 New Vision Generation (2.5 NVG), to create awareness, develop infrastructure and bring affordable eye care to lowincome countries which count for 90 per cent of the 2.5 billion people who suffer from uncorrected poor vision globally. Essilor’s inclusive business programs impact seven out of 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. These include no poverty, quality educations, gender equality and decent work and economic growth. 2.5 NVG launched its flagship inclusive business program Eye Mitra in India in 2013 as part of its strategy of increasing awareness and access to vision care for underserved populations and at the same time improving their livelihood.

FHRAI Clarifies Stance On Banana Row, Says Hotel Conduct Was NOT Illegal

Issues Advisory To Members For Avoiding Similar Situations In The Future Mumbai, July 30: In the light of a recent incident concerning a guest being billed Rs.442/- for two bananas at a five-star hotel, the Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI) has clarified that the hotel has not done anything illegal. It also reiterated that charging 18 per cent GST was a legal requirement incumbent upon the hotel. “Chain hotels have presence across several cities and follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). We need to understand that the hotel is not engaged in the sale and purchase of fruits and vegetables but it provides service of accommodation as well as restaurant service which include supply of food and beverages to its guests. Unlike a retail store where bananas can be purchased at market price, a hotel offers service, quality, plate, cutlery, accompaniment, sanitized fruit, ambience and luxury and not the commodity alone. A coffee available at ten rupees at a roadside stall could be served at Rs.250 in a luxury hotel,” says Mr Gurbaxish Singh Kohli, Vice President, FHRAI. FHRAI also clarified that the hotel has done the right thing by charging 18 per cent GST on F&B served in the hotel premises. GST laws are not optional, but are to be charged to the customer and passed on to the Government as per provisions of the law. It further stated that the rate for supply of services including goods by a restaurant is 9 per cent CGST and 9 per cent UT GST. It stated that the hotel has correctly charged the Goods & Service Tax (GST) on the bill which was legally payable by the customer. “Food served within the premises of a hotel with a declared tariff for accommodation of Rs.7500/- per day and above is chargeable under Services Accounting Code 9963 at the rate of 9 per cent CGST and 9 per cent UT GST. So, while bananas, or other unpacked fruits, are outside purview of GST at a retail store, when served in a restaurant or hotel, whether as a fruit platter or a whole fruit, as per existing GST laws a levy of 18 per cent is applicable. This is what the laws demand of us, and we don’t have a say in the matter,” says Mr Pradeep Shetty, Jt. Honorary Secretary, FHRAI. However, the apex hospitality body has issued an advisory to its members on ways to handle such situations where a guest may have ordered eatables, including fruits from outside the menu. “Our immediate concern is conflict resolution and for such a situation to not repeat. We do not wish for guests to experience a situation like this and are deliberating on possible measures that hotels could take. We will advise our members to sensitize the staff on the subject and will advise precautionary measures to avoid such happenings in the future,” concludes Mr. D V S Somaraju, Hon Treasurer, FHRAI. About Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Federations of India (FHRAI): The Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Federations of India (FHRAI) is the apex body of the Indian Hospitality industry. Founded in 1955, the Federation has diligently built on its rich legacy and is today privileged to serve as the leading voice of our industry and plays a seminal role in supporting the growth trajectory of India’s hospitality and tourism sector. FHRAI provides a vibrant interface between the industry, government, regulatory bodies, academia, international organizations, civil society and the media.
