Sharma said

water conservation

tion, non-resident Rajast-
hanis living in other

making their homeland
water self-reliant.
He urged every citizen

generations. Sharma was
addressing “Jal Sanchay
– Jan Bhagidari – Jan An-
dolan” programme held
in Mandrela, Jhunjhunu,
on Saturday in the pres-
ence of Union Minister
for Jal Shakti CR Paatil.
He said that during the
previous government’s
tenure, irregularities oc-
curred in JJM, and his
administration has taken
strict action on the mat-
ter. He asserted that those
responsible for discrep-
ancies in the JJM would
not be spared. The Chief
Minister said that the

ted to ensuring water

A medical college stu-
dent from Odisha was al-
legedly raped by uniden-
tified men in West Ben-
gal’s Paschim Bardha-
man district, police said
on Saturday.
The incident took
place outside a private
medical college campus
in Durgapur on Friday
night when the second-
year student went out for
dinner with one of her
friends, her family mem-
bers said. “On the basis
of a complaint lodged by
the family members of
the medical student, we
have started an investiga-
tion,” police said. The
mother alleged daughter
was “gang-raped” when
she went out of the col-
lege campus with one of

Washington, DC
United States President
Donald Trump on Friday
slapped China with an
additional 100% tariff, in
addition to the existing
30% duties, effective No-
vember 1 or sooner. Ad-
ditionally, the Trump ad-
ministration will impose
export controls on “any
and all critical software”
from American firms.
Trump said the new tar-
iffs are response to Chi-
na’s new restrictions on
rare earth elements.
Experts believe a fresh
flare-up of trade tensions
between the world’s two
largest economies is a se-
rious concern for global
economic growth and
could further deal a blow
to riskier asset classes.
FIEO said higher tariffs
on Chinese goods could
shift demand towards In-
dia, which exported
goods worth $86 billion
to US in 2024–25.

Mantri Dhan Dhaanya

Family of five found dead in Sikar home
MOTHER, THREE SONS AND DAUGHTER DIE BY SUICIDE

Sikar
A family of five commit-
ted a collective suicide in
Sikar. A mother, along
with her three sons and
one daughter, consumed
poison in their flat. At the
scene, 10 packets of poi-
son were recovered,
eight of which had been
used.
The mother, Kiran,
had been living with her
three sons — Sumit,
Ayush, Avnish — and
daughter Sneha in Anir-
uddh Residency on Pal-
was Road after a dispute
with her husband. The
flat had been locked for
over a week and emitted
a strong foul smell.
Neighbours in the
building alerted the po-
lice, who arrived at the
scene. Upon opening the
gate, the police found
five bodies, already de-
composed and discol-
oured. CO Dhod, Suresh
Sharma, stated that the
smell from the flat was
so intense that entering
was extremely difficult.
To reduce the stench, in-
cense sticks and perfume
were used, allowing the

Expensive Diwali gifts can cost govt employees dearly: ACB
Naveen Sharma
Jaipur
During Diwali, receiving
or giving expensive gifts
could land government
employees in serious
trouble, as the Anti-Cor-
ruption Bureau (ACB)
treats such gifts as poten-
tial bribes. The ACB has
been closely monitoring
officials and employees
who accept or give high-
value presents, and ac-
tion, including FIRs, may
be taken against them.
With Diwali approach-
ing, the bureau is keeping
a sharp eye on those ex-
changing costly gifts.
Even small amounts of
money hidden inside
boxes of sweets have
come under ACB’s radar.
The bureau is monitor-
ing several major depart-
ments, and officials giv-
ing or receiving expen-
sive gifts are being close-
ly watched. ACB is not
only monitoring offices
but has also begun keep-
ing a watch on the homes
of potential officials.

Electricity bills in
Rajasthan set to
increase by 15%
from November
First India Bureau
Jaipur
The Rajasthan Electricity
Regulatory Commission
(RERC) has issued a no-
tification to increase
electricity tariffs across
the state effective from
October 1. Consumers
under the Jaipur, Jodh-
pur, and Ajmer DIS-
COMs will now receive
bills calculated as per the
revised tariff structure.
As a result, electricity
bills to be issued in No-
vember are expected to
rise by up to 15 %. Offi-
cials said that necessary
changes are being made
in the software systems
of the electricity corpora-
tions to integrate the new
rates into the spot billing
system. This will enable
the generation of bills
based on the updated tar-
iff immediately after me-
ter readings. Conse-
quently, billing opera-
tions will remain sus-
pended for around ten
days while these techni-
cal adjustments are im-
plemented.
Thar Strike: Power and precision on
display at desert drill in Jaisalmer
Gehlot undermining
own party: Rathore
First India Bureau
Jaipur
Addressing the media,
BJP State President
Madan Rathore sharply
criticised Congress lead-
ers Ashok Gehlot, Do-
tasra, and Tika Ram Jul-
ly. Rathore said that
wherever Ashok Gehlot
has campaigned, Con-
gress has faced defeat.
Gehlot went to Gujarat
and lost, he went to Ma-
harashtra and lost, and
now, as he campaigns in
Bihar, defeat there seems
inevitable.
Rathore added that Ge-
hlot’s tendency to under-
mine his own leaders is
now causing internal
conflicts within the party.
Previously, he sidelined
his ally Sachin Pilot, and
now he is in direct con-
flict with opposition
leader Tika Ram Jully.
This clearly indicates
that Congress is trapped
in internal strife, faction-
alism, and leadership
vacuum.
Rathore urged Gehlot
to engage in self-reflec-
tion instead of mislead-
ing the public, question-
ing why the presence of
senior leaders is increas-
ingly becoming a reason
for the party’s defeat.
While the public demands
development, law and or-
der, and transparency,
BJP is the only party de-
livering these outcomes.
Suryaveer Singh Tanwar

The scorching sands of
the Thar Desert wit-
nessed more than just
swirling dust this week
they became the stage for
a powerful display of In-
dia’s air and ground com-
bat capabilities. Con-
ducted at a key airbase in
the South-Western sec-
tor, Exercise “Thar
Strike” demonstrated
how swiftly the balance
of battle can shift when
the Indian Air Force
(IAF) and the Indian Ar-
my’s Para (Special Forc-
es) operate together.
The joint exercise fea-
tured a flawless paradrop
mission executed by the
IAF’s battle-tested AN-
32 aircraft and the state-
of-the-art C295MW
transport aircraft. Every
flight reflected precision,
discipline, and seamless
coordination, encapsulat-
ing the spirit of “Power,
Precision, & Partnership.”
The primary objective
of Thar Strike was to
strengthen joint opera-
tional capability in desert
warfare conditions, a
challenging environment
where temperatures ex-
ceed 45°C & sandstorms
are common. The suc-
cessful execution of such
a complex mission under
these conditions under-
scored the discipline and
technical prowess of In-
dia’s armed forces.
For the first time, the
IAF deployed its ad-
vanced C295MW aircraft
on such a large scale.

Jhalana to add new Leopard Safari route
Nirmal Tiwari
Jaipur
new adventure
experience is
set to be added
to the popular Jhalana
Leopard Reserve, located
in the heart of Jaipur and
known globally for its
thriving leopard popula-
tion. Home to more than
40 leopards, the reserve
currently operates three
safari routes across its
approximately 20-sq-km
forest area, which has be-
come a major attraction
for wildlife enthusiasts
and photographers.
Based on increasing
footfall and demand, the
department has now de-
cided to introduce a new
safari route. This new
route will begin from the
diversion of Route No. 1,
passing through the hilly
terrain of the mining
area, and connect to Wa-
ter Point No. 3 of Route
No. 1. The area is known
for its dense forest and
rugged landscape, offer-
ing a thrilling experience
for visitors. A new path
extending from the final
water point of Route No.
2—Lala Kund—through
High Tide Anicut to Hari
Singh Bhomia is also un-
der consideration.

Family of five found dead in Sikar home
MOTHER, THREE SONS AND DAUGHTER DIE BY SUICIDE
Hukum Singh
Sikar
A family of five commit-
ted a collective suicide in
Sikar. A mother, along
with her three sons and
one daughter, consumed
poison in their flat. At the
scene, 10 packets of poi-
son were recovered,
eight of which had been
used.
The mother, Kiran,
had been living with her
three sons — Sumit,
Ayush, Avnish — and
daughter Sneha in Anir-
uddh Residency on Pal-
was Road after a dispute
with her husband. The
flat had been locked for
over a week and emitted
a strong foul smell.
Neighbours in the
building alerted the po-
lice, who arrived at the
scene. Upon opening the
gate, the police found
five bodies, already de-
composed and discol-
oured. CO Dhod, Suresh
Sharma, stated that the
smell from the flat was
so intense that entering
was extremely difficult.
To reduce the stench, in-
cense sticks and perfume
were used, allowing the
police team to enter. The
reason for the suicide has
not yet been determined.
According to reports,
Kiran’s first husband,
Nemichand, is from
Mundwara village in Si-
kar and works in agricul-
ture. The couple had a
son and a daughter be-
fore divorcing in 2019. A
custody case is currently
ongoing in court.

Thar Strike: Power and precision on
display at desert drill in Jaisalmer
Gehlot undermining
own party: Rathore
First India Bureau
Jaipur
Addressing the media,
BJP State President
Madan Rathore sharply
criticised Congress lead-
ers Ashok Gehlot, Do-
tasra, and Tika Ram Jul-
ly. Rathore said that
wherever Ashok Gehlot
has campaigned, Con-
gress has faced defeat.
Gehlot went to Gujarat
and lost, he went to Ma-
harashtra and lost, and
now, as he campaigns in
Bihar, defeat there seems
inevitable.
Rathore added that Ge-
hlot’s tendency to under-
mine his own leaders is
now causing internal
conflicts within the party.
Previously, he sidelined
his ally Sachin Pilot, and
now he is in direct con-
flict with opposition
leader Tika Ram Jully.
This clearly indicates
that Congress is trapped
in internal strife, faction-
alism, and leadership
vacuum.
Rathore urged Gehlot
to engage in self-reflec-
tion instead of mislead-
ing the public, question-
ing why the presence of
senior leaders is increas-
ingly becoming a reason
for the party’s defeat.
While the public demands
development, law and or-
der, and transparency,
BJP is the only party de-
livering these outcomes.

The scorching sands of
the Thar Desert wit-
nessed more than just
swirling dust this week
they became the stage for
a powerful display of In-
dia’s air and ground com-
bat capabilities. Con-
ducted at a key airbase in
the South-Western sec-
tor, Exercise “Thar
Strike” demonstrated
how swiftly the balance
of battle can shift when
the Indian Air Force
(IAF) and the Indian Ar-
my’s Para (Special Forc-
es) operate together.
The joint exercise fea-
tured a flawless paradrop
mission executed by the
IAF’s battle-tested AN-
32 aircraft and the state-
of-the-art C295MW
transport aircraft. Every
flight reflected precision,
discipline, and seamless
coordination, encapsulat-
ing the spirit of “Power,
Precision, & Partnership.”
The primary objective
of Thar Strike was to
strengthen joint opera-
tional capability in desert
warfare conditions, a
challenging environment
where temperatures ex-
ceed 45°C & sandstorms
are common. The suc-
cessful execution of such
a complex mission under
these conditions under-
scored the discipline and
technical prowess of In-
dia’s armed forces.
For the first time, the
IAF deployed its ad-
vanced C295MW aircraft
on such a large scale.

The BJP is intensifying
internal deliberations
ahead of the Anta Assem-
bly by-election, with the
candidate expected to be
announced next week.
Union Home Minister
Amit Shah, during his Jai-
pur visit, is likely to con-
sult local leaders and re-
view constituency feed-
back. Preliminary discus-
sions have involved CM
Bhajan Lal Sharma, for-
mer CM Vasundhara
Raje, and state BJP presi-
dent Madan Rathore,
while a formal meeting
with state in-charge Dr.
Radha Mohan Das Agar-
wal is still pending.
The Anta seat, in the
Hadoti region, is consid-
ered challenging for the
BJP, especially after Con-
gress announced its can-
didate early. Party leaders
are analysing caste dy-
namics, voter consolida-
tion strategies, and the
influence of key commu-
nities including Meenas,
Sainis, and Malis, as well
as the support base of
Congress leader Pramod
Jain Bhaya.

Internal rifts within the
Congress came to the
fore in Jodhpur during
the party’s ongoing or-
ganisational restructur-
ing drive, with a heated
clash breaking out be-
tween two senior leaders
over the post of city
president.
The confrontation oc-
curred during a feedback
meeting in the Sursagar
area, where senior lead-
ers Pritam Sharma and
Rajesh Ramdev engaged
in a verbal spat in the
presence of party observ-
er Sushant Mishra. What
began as a disagreement
over one-on-one meet-
ings for collecting names
of potential candidates
soon escalated into per-
sonal allegations, forcing
other members to step in
and separate the two.
A video of the incident
later surfaced on social
media. Despite the Con-
gress leadership’s em-
phasis on conducting a
transparent and disci-
plined internal election
process, the episode has
highlighted deep-rooted
factionalism within the
organisation. The open
display of indiscipline
has also raised questions
about the credibility of
the party’s internal dem-

‘VIBRANT HUB OF INDIA’S PROGRESS’
NE not periphery but heart of
India’s growth story: PM Modi
Agencies
0XPEDL
For the first time, the
northeast is not the periph-
ery but the pulsating heart
of India’s growth story,
Prime Minister Narendra
Modi said on Saturday.
The Prime Minister fur-
ther stated that from new
airports to empowered
self-help groups, and from
connectivity to creativity,
Arunachal Pradesh mirrors
the spirit of Viksit Bharat.
PM Modi shared an ar-
ticle on X, written by Un-
ion Minister Jyotiraditya
Scindia, that underscores
the transformation and
growing importance of
Arunachal Pradesh in the
nation’s development
journey. “From new air-
ports to empowered
SHGs, from connectivity
to creativity, Arunachal
Pradesh mirrors the spirit
of Viksit Bharat. A must-
read piece by Union Min-
ister Scindia,” the Prime
Minister posted on X.
According to Scindia,
our ‘Ashtalakshmi’ is no
longer a distant frontier
but a vibrant hub of In-
dia’s progress.
“I share my awe-inspir-
ing visit to Arunachal
Pradesh’s Ziro Valley,
witnessing its rapid trans-
formation while cherish-
ing its timeless cultural
heritage, all aligned with
PM Modi’s transforma-
tive vision of a Rising
Northeast,” the minister
highlighted.
In the article, Scindia
said that every time I set
foot in the Northeast, “I
feel reenergised and refu-
eled”.
“Many call it the pe-
riphery of India, however
it is the very heart, beating
in many colours, sounds,
and textures. A garland of
pearls, strung together by
countless communities,
cultures, and ways of life,
woven seamlessly into
the eternal rhythm of na-
ture. No wonder our
Prime Minister calls it the
Ashtalakshmi -- a region
of diversity and opportu-
nity,” he noted.
Ziro Valley is known
for the world-renowned
Ziro Music Festival. It is
ranked among the world’s
top music festivals. “Lo-
cal artisans showcased
their crafts, and thanks to
Digital India and the Jan
Dhan-Aadhaar-Mobile
trinity, cashless payments
were effortless. Every
chime of ‘payment com-
plete, was more than a
transaction; it was the
sound of empowerment,”
wrote the minister.

is the closest all of us
passengers ever want to
come to a plane crash,?
a Qantas flight QF1889?s pas-
senger said after the plane sud-
denly descended about 20,000
feet on Monday September 22,
and diverted back to Darwin.
The Embraer 190?s crew re-
ceived a pressurisation warn-
ing, followed the procedures,
and landed normally ? but in
the cabin, that rapid drop felt
anything but normal.
The truth is, in-flight techni-
cal problems such as this one
are part of flying. Pilots train
extensively for them. Check-
lists contain detailed instruc-
tions on how to deal with each
issue. Aircraft are built with
layers of redundancy, and
warning systems alert pilots to
problems. It is because of these
safety systems that the vast ma-
jority of flights that experience
technical issues end with a safe
arrival rather than tragic head-
lines.
Here are a few scary-sound-
ing failures you might hear
about (or even experience) and
how they are actually dealt
with in the air.
Air-conditioning and
pressurisation hiccups
What it is: At cruising alti-
tudes (normally around 36,000
feet), aeroplane cabins are kept
at a comfortable ?cabin alti-
tude? of 8,000 feet using air
from the engines that is cooled
through the air conditioner.
This artificial air pressure al-
lows us to survive while the
atmosphere outside the plane is
highly hostile to human life,
with temperatures around
-55?C and no breathable air.
However, if the system misbe-
haves or the cabin altitude
starts to rise for whatever rea-
son, crews treat it as a potential
pressurisation problem and ini-
tiate the preventive procedures
immediately.
What you might feel/see: A
quick, controlled descent (it
can feel dramatic), ears pop-
ping, and sometimes oxygen
masks ? these typically drop
automatically only if the cabin
altitude exceeds roughly
14,000 feet. Similar to QF1889,
a rapid descent without masks
being deployed is the most
common outcome.
What pilots do: As soon as
they notice a problem with the
cabin pressurisation, the pilots
put on their own oxygen
masks, declare an emergency,
and follow the emergency de-
scent checklist, bringing the
aircraft as quickly as possible
to about 10,000 feet. This is
usually followed by a diver-
sion or return to the departure
airport.
Most feared:
engine failures
What it is: Twin-engine airlin-
ers are certified to fly safely on
one engine. Yet, one-engine
failures are treated seriously and
thoroughly rehearsed in flight
simulators at least annually.
Dual failures, however, are ex-
ceptionally rare. The 2009 ?Mir-
acle on the Hudson?, for exam-
ple, was a once-in-a-generation
bird strike event that led to both
engines stopping. The plane safe-
ly landed on the Hudson River in
New York with no casualties.
What you might feel/see: A
loud bang, vibration, sparks
coming out of the engine, smell
of burning or a sudden quieten-
ing. This may result in a turn-
back and an emergency services
welcome. Recent headlines on
engine failures ? from a 737 in
Sydney to a multiple bird-strike-
related return in the United
States ended with safe landings.
What pilots do: After being
alerted by the warning system,
pilots identify the affected en-
gine and follow the checklist.
The checklist typically requires
them to shut down the prob-
lematic engine, descent to an
appropriate altitude and divert
if in cruise, or return to the de-
parture airport if after takeoff.
Even when an engine failure
damages other systems, crews
are trained to manage cascades
of warnings ? as Qantas A380
flight QF32?s crew did in 2010,
returning safely to Singapore.

Poor sleep may make
your brain age faster,
says a new study
e spend nearly a third
of our lives asleep, yet
sleep is anything but
wasted time. Far from being
passive downtime, it is an active
and essential process that helps
restore the body and protect the
brain. When sleep is disrupted,
the brain feels the consequences
? sometimes in subtle ways that
accumulate over years.
In a new study, researchers
examined sleep behaviour and
detailed brain MRI scan data in
more than 27,000 UK adults
between the ages of 40 and 70.
We found that people with poor
sleep had brains that appeared
significantly older than expect-
ed based on their actual age.
What does it mean for the
brain to ?look older?? While
we all grow chronologically
older at the same pace, some
people?s biological clocks can
tick faster or slower than oth-
ers. New advances in brain im-
aging and artificial intelligence
allow researchers to estimate a
person?s brain age based on
patterns in brain MRI scans,
such as loss of brain tissue,
thinning of the cortex and dam-
age to blood vessels.
In our study, brain age was
estimated using over 1,000 dif-
ferent imaging markers from
MRI scans. We first trained a
machine learning model on the
scans of the healthiest partici-
pants ? people with no major
diseases, whose brains should
closely match their chronolog-
ical age. Once the model
?learned? what normal ageing
looks like, we applied it to the
full study population.
Having a brain age higher
than your actual age can be a
signal of departure from healthy
ageing. Previous research has
linked an older-appearing brain
to faster cognitive decline,
greater dementia risk and even
higher risk of early death.
Sleep is complex, and no sin-
gle measure can tell the whole
story of a person?s sleep health.
Our study, therefore, focused
W
on five aspects of sleep self-
reported by the study partici-
pants: their chronotype (?morn-
ing? or ?evening? person), how
many hours they typically
sleep (seven to eight hours is
considered optimal), whether
they experience insomnia,
whether they snore and wheth-
er they feel excessively sleepy
during the day.
These characteristics can in-
teract in synergistic ways. For
example, someone with fre-
quent insomnia may also feel
more daytime sleepiness, and
having a late chronotype may
lead to shorter sleep duration.
By integrating all five charac-
teristics into a ?healthy sleep
score?, we captured a fuller
picture of overall sleep health.

n surprising ways,
the concept of en-
lightenment is rel-
evant to everyday
life. In the West, the word ?en-
lightenment? remains fuzzy,
and most people would con-
sider it exotic, foreign, diffi-
cult to reach, and reserved
only for people with strong
spiritual motivation and tre-
mendous self-discipline.
If all of these assumptions
are wrong, everything sur-
rounding enlightenment
would have to shift. In fact,
each of these assumptions oc-
cupies a spectrum. There are
yogic teachings that require
strong motivation and enor-
mous discipline, but there are
also paths to enlightenment
that are much easier, and
these fit everyday lifestyles
quite well.
Enlightenment is simply
personal growth without as-
sumptions. If you make
choices that further your evo-
lution every day, no matter
how casual or focused you
are about it, you are heading
towards enlightenment. We
should also adapt the word
?enlightenment? to fit the
modern secular world, and
the best way to do that is to
think in terms of conscious-
ness. There are 12 milestones
in consciousness that mark
the state of enlightenment,
and since these are on a slid-
ing scale, you can move to-
ward each milestone at your
own pace. In fact, the more
enjoyable and effortless your
path is, the likelier you are to
stay on it.
Here are the 12 milestones,
first expressed as the final
goal, second as the direction to
take in order to make progress.
1. SHIFT IN THE
SENSE OF SELF
If you were enlightened, you
would sense yourself as un-
bounded Being without ego.
To make progress, you fa-
vor simple awareness, mean-
ing that you rest easily in be-
ing yourself, as much as pos-
sible, setting aside ego.
2. EMOTIONAL CHANGES
If you were enlightened, you
would experience a steady
state of bliss. The ups and
downs of emotion, both posi-
tive and negative, will have
vanished.
To make progress, you di-
minish the emotional drama
in your life.
3. CHANGES IN THOUGHT
If you were enlightened, your
thoughts would be functional,
serving to move you towards
correct decision-making.
To make progress, you
don?t worry and overthink
things. You let yourself be
guided by positive thoughts
and intuition. You turn away
negative thoughts without
acting on them.
4. SHIFT IN PERCEPTION
If you were enlightened, you
would perceive the physical
world as a manifestation of
consciousness constantly in
the process of creation.
To make progress, you fo-
cus on becoming more aware
of the creative intelligence
that flows through you and
the entire creation.
5. SHIFT IN MEMORY
If you were enlightened, you
would have little need for
memory, because your aware-
ness is in the now.
To make progress, you fo-
cus on the present moment. If
memories come up to warn
you or make you afraid, you
let them pass with as little no-
tice as possible.
6. INSIGHT
If you were enlightened, all of
creation would speak to you,
revealing insights into any-
thing you wanted to know.
To make progress, you rely
on what is going on ?in here?
as a guide to be trusted.
7. INTUITION
If you were enlightened, in-
tuition comes as easily as
thought and is always reliable.
To make progress, you begin
to trust inner impulses by how
they feel. Intuition becomes the
test of right thinking.
8. VISION
If you were enlightened, your
vision of life has been ful-
filled, whatever this vision
might be. You live the reality
of your own truth.
To make progress, you
choose a vision that inspires
you and keep your attention
on it every day.
9. CREATIVITY
If you were enlightened, you
would view reality as a flow
of creative intelligence at
every level.
To make progress, you seek
a creative outlet that brings you
a sense of joy and fulfillment.
10. FLOW
If you were enlightened, any
event, inner or outer, is part
of the same flow of con-
sciousness.
To make progress, be more
allowing and accepting; let
situations play themselves out
with less interference; and
stop being a source of resist-
ance to others and their ideas.
11. BLISS
If you were enlightened, bliss
would be a steady state, either
in the forefront or the back-
ground of your mind.
To make progress, actively
find ways to experience joy at
least once a day. Realize that
bliss is the doorway to ex-
panded awareness and higher
consciousness.
12. FEAR OF DEATH
If you were enlightened, there
would be no fear of death.
To make progress, meditate
to experience silent aware-
ness as your true home, not
the physical body.
This list sketches in the
primary changes that occur
on the way to enlighten-
ment, but they have the ad-
vantage here and now of
improving everyday life. In
the Vedic wisdom of India,
existence is founded on pure
bliss-consciousness, which
in turn makes enlightenment
the most normal state of
awareness. We don?t realize
this because we are caught
up in obstacles of ego, de-
sire, anxiety, self-involve-
ment, self-judgment, anger,
envy, fear of death, and oth-
er mind-made obstacles,
which are collectively
known as Vrittis. These ha-
bituated thought patterns
distort your vision of who
you truly are, which is a con-
scious agent through whom
bliss and creativity flow
naturally and effortlessly.

is the closest all of us
passengers ever want to
come to a plane crash,?
a Qantas flight QF1889?s pas-
senger said after the plane sud-
denly descended about 20,000
feet on Monday September 22,
and diverted back to Darwin.
The Embraer 190?s crew re-
ceived a pressurisation warn-
ing, followed the procedures,
and landed normally ? but in
the cabin, that rapid drop felt
anything but normal.
The truth is, in-flight techni-
cal problems such as this one
are part of flying. Pilots train
extensively for them. Check-
lists contain detailed instruc-
tions on how to deal with each
issue. Aircraft are built with
layers of redundancy, and
warning systems alert pilots to
problems. It is because of these
safety systems that the vast ma-
jority of flights that experience
technical issues end with a safe
arrival rather than tragic head-
lines.
Here are a few scary-sound-
ing failures you might hear
about (or even experience) and
how they are actually dealt
with in the air.
Air-conditioning and
pressurisation hiccups
What it is: At cruising alti-
tudes (normally around 36,000
feet), aeroplane cabins are kept
at a comfortable ?cabin alti-
tude? of 8,000 feet using air
from the engines that is cooled
through the air conditioner.
This artificial air pressure al-
lows us to survive while the
atmosphere outside the plane is
highly hostile to human life,
with temperatures around
-55?C and no breathable air.
However, if the system misbe-
haves or the cabin altitude
starts to rise for whatever rea-
son, crews treat it as a potential
pressurisation problem and ini-
tiate the preventive procedures
immediately.
What you might feel/see: A
quick, controlled descent (it
can feel dramatic), ears pop-
ping, and sometimes oxygen
masks ? these typically drop
automatically only if the cabin
altitude exceeds roughly
14,000 feet. Similar to QF1889,
a rapid descent without masks
being deployed is the most
common outcome.
What pilots do: As soon as
they notice a problem with the
cabin pressurisation, the pilots
put on their own oxygen
masks, declare an emergency,
and follow the emergency de-
scent checklist, bringing the
aircraft as quickly as possible
to about 10,000 feet. This is
usually followed by a diver-
sion or return to the departure
airport.
Most feared:
engine failures
What it is: Twin-engine airlin-
ers are certified to fly safely on
one engine. Yet, one-engine
failures are treated seriously and
thoroughly rehearsed in flight
simulators at least annually.
Dual failures, however, are ex-
ceptionally rare. The 2009 ?Mir-
acle on the Hudson?, for exam-
ple, was a once-in-a-generation
bird strike event that led to both
engines stopping. The plane safe-
ly landed on the Hudson River in
New York with no casualties.
What you might feel/see: A
loud bang, vibration, sparks
coming out of the engine, smell
of burning or a sudden quieten-
ing. This may result in a turn-
back and an emergency services
welcome. Recent headlines on

related return in the United
States ended with safe landings.

US President Donald
Trump on Friday (local

remarks about having
“no reason to meet Xi,”
saying that he has not of-

Jinping.
Trump, however, ex-

“out of the blue.”
“No, I haven’t can-

be there regardless. I
would assume we might
have it. However, they hit
the world with some-
thing. It was shocking.
Out of the blue, they
came up with this whole
import-export concept,
and nobody knew any-
thing about it,” he told
reporters at the White
House.
Earlier, Trump had
said that there was “no
reason to meet” with
Chinese President Xi
Jinping after Beijing
took “very hostile” steps
by imposing sweeping
new export controls on
rare earth elements. He
had also warned that the
US was preparing to re-
spond with strong coun-

The US president fur-
ther added that the US
was considering export
controls on a range of
items beyond software,
including aircraft parts.

Thousands return to Gaza as US-brokered ceasefire takes effect
Agencies
:DGL*D]D*D]D6WULS
Tens of thousands of Pal-
estinians headed back to
the heavily destroyed
northern Gaza Strip on
Friday as a US-brokered
ceasefire came into effect
in a deal that raised hopes
for ending the Israel-Ha-
mas war. All the remain-
ing hostages were set to
be released within days.
Questions remain over
who will govern Gaza as
Israeli troops gradually
pull back and whether
Hamas will disarm, as
called for in US President
Donald Trump’s cease-
fire plan. Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu,
who unilaterally ended a
ceasefire in March, hint-
ed that Israel might re-
new its offensive if Ha-
mas does not give up its
weapons.
The latest truce never-
theless marks a key step
toward ending a ruinous
two-year war that was
triggered by Hamas’
2023 attack on Israel.
The fighting has killed
tens of thousands of Pal-
estinians and displaced
around 90 per cent of the
Gaza population of some
2 million, often multiple
times. Many of them will
find fields of rubble
where their homes once
stood.

US President Donald
Trump on Friday (local
time) clarified his recent
remarks about having
“no reason to meet Xi,”
saying that he has not of-
ficially cancelled his
planned meeting with
Chinese President Xi
Jinping.
Trump, however, ex-
pressed surprise at Chi-
na’s new export restric-
tions requiring export li-
censes for rare earth ele-
ments, calling the move
“out of the blue.”
“No, I haven’t can-
celled. However, I’m not
sure if we’ll have it. I’ll
be there regardless. I
would assume we might
have it. However, they hit
the world with some-
thing. It was shocking.
Out of the blue, they
came up with this whole
import-export concept,
and nobody knew any-
thing about it,” he told
reporters at the White
House.
Earlier, Trump had
said that there was “no
reason to meet” with
Chinese President Xi
Jinping after Beijing
took “very hostile” steps
by imposing sweeping
new export controls on
rare earth elements. He
had also warned that the
US was preparing to re-
spond with strong coun-
termeasures.
The US president fur-
ther added that the US
was considering export
controls on a range of
items beyond software,
including aircraft parts.

CALL FOR A MASS MOVEMENT
Organ donation ‘life-saving’, awareness must be part of school edu: Guv

Jaipur
overnor Harib-
hau Bagade on
Saturday called
for the inclusion of organ
donation awareness in
school education, describ-
ing it as a life-saving ini-
tiative that must be made
into a mass movement.
“Organ donation is the
greatest form of donation.
Every year, thousands of
people in our country lose
their lives due to the un-
availability of organs for
transplant. To prevent
these deaths, we must
connect every citizen with
the cause of organ dona-
tion,” the Governor said.
He was addressing a
function organised by
the Indian Society of Or-
gan Transplantation.
Bagade also suggested
that medical colleges
should include organ do-
nation as part of their
curriculum to instil
awareness and sensitiv-
ity among future health-
care professionals.
Quoting from Indian
mythology, he said the
tradition of organ dona-
tion has existed since
ancient times. “Maharshi
Dadhichi donated his
bones for the creation of
a weapon (Vajra) to help
Lord Indra defeat the de-
mons. Such examples
highlight the spirit of
selflessness behind or-
gan donation,” he said.
The governor said that
there was a need to in-
volve both doctors and
the general public in pro-
moting organ donation
while also encouraging
preventive healthcare,
healthy eating habits, and
improved lifestyles.

Chief Minister Bhajan
Lal Sharma on Saturday
addressed the “Jal
Sanchay – Jan Bhagidari
– Jan Andolan” pro-
gramme in Mandrela,
Jhunjhunu, highlighting
his government’s achieve-
ments in water conserva-
tion, welfare, and em-
ployment generation.
Sharma said the previ-
ous government failed to
secure Yamuna water for
Shekhawati, while the
current administration
swiftly signed an MoU
with Haryana after taking
office and is preparing the
project’s Detailed Project
Report (DPR). Similar
agreements with the Cen-
tre and Madhya Pradesh
have been signed for the
Ram Jalsetu Link Project,
which will benefit 17 dis-
tricts of eastern Rajasthan.
The Chief Minister said
that his government has
achieved more in a year
and a half than the previ-
ous administration man-
aged in its entire tenure.
So far, around Rs 13,000
crore has been spent on
water projects, compared
to Rs 4,500 crore during
the previous govern-
ment’s first 18 months. In
the same period, his gov-
ernment provided 1.3 mil-
lion new household tap
connections, while the
previous one could only
deliver about 175,000.
The Chief Minister
said that under his gov-
ernment, recruitment for
government jobs is taking
place without any paper
leak incidents. So far,
91,000 appointments
have been made, and re-
cruitment processes for
about 154,000 posts are
underway. Under the Ris-
ing Rajasthan Global In-
vestment Summit, MoUs
worth Rs 35 lakh crore
have been signed, and
work to bring these in-
vestments to the ground
is progressing rapidly,
creating new employ-
ment opportunities in the
private sector.
Addressing the pro-
gramme, Union Jal Shak-
ti Minister CR Paatil no
state understands the im-
portance of water better
than Rajasthan. Under
the leadership of Chief
Minister Bhajan Lal
Sharma, remarkable ef-
forts are being made in
water conservation, and
Rajasthan will soon be
recognised nationwide
for achieving water self-
reliance. He accused the
previous state govern-
ment of irregularities in
the Har Ghar Nal Se Jal
campaign, saying that
those who deprived peo-
ple of their right to water
will not be spared.

CALL FOR A MASS MOVEMENT
Organ donation ‘life-saving’, awareness must be part of school edu: Guv

Jaipur
overnor Harib-
hau Bagade on
Saturday called
for the inclusion of organ
donation awareness in
school education, describ-
ing it as a life-saving ini-
tiative that must be made
into a mass movement.
“Organ donation is the
greatest form of donation.
Every year, thousands of
people in our country lose
their lives due to the un-
availability of organs for
transplant. To prevent
these deaths, we must
connect every citizen with
the cause of organ dona-
tion,” the Governor said.
He was addressing a
function organised by
the Indian Society of Or-
gan Transplantation.
Bagade also suggested
that medical colleges
should include organ do-
nation as part of their
curriculum to instil
awareness and sensitiv-
ity among future health-
care professionals.
Quoting from Indian
mythology, he said the
tradition of organ dona-
tion has existed since
ancient times. “Maharshi
Dadhichi donated his
bones for the creation of
a weapon (Vajra) to help
Lord Indra defeat the de-
mons. Such examples
highlight the spirit of
selflessness behind or-
gan donation,” he said.
The governor said that
there was a need to in-
volve both doctors and
the general public in pro-
moting organ donation
while also encouraging
preventive healthcare,
healthy eating habits, and
improved lifestyles.

Chief Minister Bhajan
Lal Sharma on Saturday
addressed the “Jal
Sanchay – Jan Bhagidari
– Jan Andolan” pro-
gramme in Mandrela,
Jhunjhunu, highlighting
his government’s achieve-
ments in water conserva-
tion, welfare, and em-
ployment generation.
Sharma said the previ-
ous government failed to
secure Yamuna water for
Shekhawati, while the
current administration
swiftly signed an MoU
with Haryana after taking
office and is preparing the
project’s Detailed Project
Report (DPR). Similar
agreements with the Cen-
tre and Madhya Pradesh
have been signed for the
Ram Jalsetu Link Project,
which will benefit 17 dis-
tricts of eastern Rajasthan.
The Chief Minister said
that his government has
achieved more in a year
and a half than the previ-
ous administration man-
aged in its entire tenure.
So far, around Rs 13,000
crore has been spent on
water projects, compared
to Rs 4,500 crore during
the previous govern-
ment’s first 18 months. In
the same period, his gov-
ernment provided 1.3 mil-
lion new household tap
connections, while the
previous one could only
deliver about 175,000.
The Chief Minister
said that under his gov-
ernment, recruitment for
government jobs is taking
place without any paper
leak incidents. So far,
91,000 appointments
have been made, and re-
cruitment processes for
about 154,000 posts are
underway. Under the Ris-
ing Rajasthan Global In-
vestment Summit, MoUs
worth Rs 35 lakh crore
have been signed, and
work to bring these in-
vestments to the ground
is progressing rapidly,
creating new employ-
ment opportunities in the
private sector.
Addressing the pro-
gramme, Union Jal Shak-
ti Minister CR Paatil no
state understands the im-
portance of water better
than Rajasthan. Under
the leadership of Chief
Minister Bhajan Lal
Sharma, remarkable ef-
forts are being made in
water conservation, and
Rajasthan will soon be
recognised nationwide
for achieving water self-
reliance. He accused the
previous state govern-
ment of irregularities in
the Har Ghar Nal Se Jal
campaign, saying that
those who deprived peo-
ple of their right to water
will not be spared.

Choudhary has
emerged as a
remarkable
model, cele-
brated for her authenticity,
creativity, and dedication to
representing both fashion and
the confidence of young
women from her hometown.
Born and raised in Jaipur—
the Pink City—Bittu’s aes-
thetic sensibilities were
shaped by its vibrant cul-
ture, heritage, and colors.
From childhood, she was
drawn to art, dance, and
stage performances, pas-
sions that naturally led
her to the world of
modeling.
Her journey be-
gan with curiosity
when she partici-
pated in a col-
lege fashion
show, an expe-
rience that be-
came a turning
point and re-
vealed modeling
as her true calling.
Though her family
initially hesitated,
their support—espe-
cially from her moth-
er—proved instrumental
in helping her navigate
challenges. Coming from
Jaipur, where opportunities
in fashion are fewer com-
pared to metros like Mumbai
or Delhi, Bittu’s path was not
easy. Yet, resilience and deter-
mination helped her rise above
every obstacle.
Discipline and self-love de-
fine her approach to life. She
follows a consistent workout
routine, maintains a healthy
diet, and practices meditation,
all while striking a balance
between professional de-
mands and personal well-be-
ing. Her career milestones are
impressive: walking for the
Jaipur Couture Show, Lakmé
Fashion Week, and renowned
designer collections, and win-
ning titles including First
Winner and Show Topper of
Miss Delhi Iconic Fashion
Runway 2024, Miss Beauty of
Rajasthan 2023, and Best
Confidence. She has also been
featured in local campaigns
and magazines, proudly repre-
senting Rajasthan.
Looking ahead, Bittu as-
pires to collaborate with lead-
ing designers on national and
international platforms. Be-
yond modeling, she aims to
inspire young talent from
smaller cities, proving that no
dream is too big. For Bittu
Choudhary, modeling is not
just a profession—it’s a plat-
form to empower and uplift
others.

pated in a col-
lege fashion
show, an expe-
rience that be-
came a turning
point and re-
vealed modeling
as her true calling.
Though her family
initially hesitated,
their support—espe-
cially from her moth-
er—proved instrumental
in helping her navigate
challenges. Coming from
Jaipur, where opportunities
in fashion are fewer com-
pared to metros like Mumbai
or Delhi, Bittu’s path was not
easy. Yet, resilience and deter-
mination helped her rise above
every obstacle.
Discipline and self-love de-
fine her approach to life. She
follows a consistent workout
routine, maintains a healthy
diet, and practices meditation,
all while striking a balance
between professional de-
mands and personal well-be-
ing. Her career milestones are
impressive: walking for the
Jaipur Couture Show, Lakmé
Fashion Week, and renowned
designer collections, and win-
ning titles including First
Winner and Show Topper of
Miss Delhi Iconic Fashion
Runway 2024, Miss Beauty of
Rajasthan 2023, and Best
Confidence. She has also been
featured in local campaigns
and magazines, proudly repre-
senting Rajasthan.
Looking ahead, Bittu as-
pires to collaborate with lead-
ing designers on national and
international platforms. Be-
yond modeling, she aims to
inspire young talent from
smaller cities, proving that no
dream is too big. For Bittu
Choudhary, modeling is not
just a profession—it’s a plat-
form to empower and uplift
others.

s the moon rose
above the Pink
City, its silver light
brushed over roof-
tops adorned with
earthen lamps and the soft clink-
ing of bangles. The air was thick
with mehndi fragrance, laughter
and the quiet hum of devotion, the
kind that beats in a lover’s chest,
in a mother’s prayer, and some-
times, in the heart of someone still
waiting to be loved.
Karwa Chauth, a festival deeply
rooted in Indian tradition, is often
seen as a day when married wom-
en fast from sunrise to moonrise
for the long life of their husbands.
It’s a ritual wrapped in red bangles,
vermillion, and moonlit anticipa-
tion. But this year, Jaipur saw
something extraordinary — a ver-
sion of Karwa Chauth that tran-
scended gender, rituals, and roles.
It was a festival reimagined
through the lens of love, inclusiv-
ity, and quiet defiance.
A FAST FOR HOPE,
NOT VALIDATION
Among those who redefined the
meaning of the day was Rosie
Barolia, a transgender makeup art-
ist from Jaipur. With delicate hands
that have painted countless bridal
faces, Rosie turned her brush to-
ward her own reflection this time,
her eyes lined in kohl, her lips
shimmering with a quiet courage.
“I am transgender and society
has rejected me many times,” she
said softly. “I may not have sin-
door or a mangalsutra, but my
heart still wishes to get ready for
someone, somewhere, who
smiles in my thoughts. Everyone
fasts for someone they love; I too
fasted — for the one I haven’t
met yet, but who already lives in
my heart.”
Rosie didn’t fast for societal
approval or to fit into a
ritual that was never
meant for her. She
fasted for hope —
for the dream that
someday, love
would come to her uncondition-
ally. She added, “For me, this fes-
tival stands for hope, self-respect,
and the fight to be accepted. Peo-
ple say the Karwa Chauth moon
hears every woman’s prayers.
Maybe one day it will hear mine
too, and the person who comes
into my life will accept me as I am,
without wanting to change me.”
As the moon appeared, Rosie
stood on her terrace in silence,
her thali shimmering under
its glow. No husband, no
partner — only faith,
the kind that refuses
to fade.
MEN WHO FASTED FOR LOVE
Love took another gentle turn in
Jaipur that evening. On the other
side of the city, Rahul, a young
resident, set aside his plate too, not
because he was asked to, but be-
cause he wanted to.
“If Rishu can fast for me, why
can’t I?” he said with an easy
smile. His wife, Rishita, was sur-
prised when she found out. “It was
our first Karwa Chauth after the
wedding,” she said. “I told him it’s
my job to fast for you! But he just
looked at me and said, Love isn’t
a one-way street.”
So, the two of them stayed hun-
gry together, teasing each other,
and waiting for the moon. When
it finally appeared, they broke
their fast side by side — an act
simple in gesture, but profound in
meaning.
Similarly, Sunil, another Jaipur
resident, kept a fast for his partner
Sonu. “She’s the love of my
life,” he said, his eyes soft with
affection. “She kept the fast
for me, and I’m doing the
same for her.” Their story
might not make it to films,
but in their shared hunger,
there was a tenderness that
needed no audience. After
they broke each other’s
fasts, Sunil gifted her a sil-
ver payal (anklets), only to
see her happy.
Ankur Chhabra says that
Karwa Chauth is not just a
festival of faith and tra-
dition, but also a
symbol of the deep
bond and trust
shared between hus-
band and wife Poonam Chhabra.
“It is believed that a wife’s fast and
devotion on this day blesses her
husband with a long and prosper-
ous life. In the same way, I too
wish for my wife’s longevity and
well-being. That’s why, for the
past 12 years, I have been observ-
ing this fast along with her, a ges-
ture that wholeheartedly expresses
my love for her. This is what
makes Karwa Chauth one of the
most sacred celebrations of marital
life in Indian culture.”
AN OLD LOVE,
QUIET BUT DEEP
And then there was the elderly
couple, who is always nitpicking
fights and bickering while work-
ing. The wife proudly revealed a
secret that made her smile. “He’ll
never admit it,” she said, glancing
toward her husband, who was pre-
tending to read the newspaper.
“But he fasts for me every year. He
refuses to eat the whole day and
only joins me after the moon ritual.
Because he does not like the fast-
ing concept, but keeps it every year
just for me.”
The old man looked up, caught
mid-pretence, and muttered, “It’s
nothing like that.” But he blushed.
Love, after all, doesn’t retire.
WHEN RITUALS
MEET REAL LOVE
This Karwa Chauth, Jaipur be-
came a canvas where love painted
new meanings. From Rosie’s
hopeful solitude to Sunil’s thought-
ful equality and the elderly cou-
ple’s unspoken bond, every story
shimmered under the same moon.
The festival that once symbol-
ised devotion from wife to hus-
band found itself evolving — be-
coming about mutual care, emo-
tional equality, and the courage to
love beyond labels.
Because, in truth, love isn’t
bound by rituals or expectations. It
exists in shared silences, in ges-
tures unseen, and in prayers whis-
pered not for someone’s life, but
for their happiness. Maybe love is
not about who we fast for, maybe
it’s about who we keep faith in,
including ourselves.
Karwa Chauth is not a fasting
festival but a celebration of faith,
in love that waits, in love that re-
turns, and in love that stays, qui-
etly, even when the world looks
away. Jaipur celebrated love in its
truest form beyond customs, be-
yond gender, and beyond expecta-
tions. Because sometimes, break-
ing traditions is just another way
of keeping faith.

ond nature and aims to signifi-
cantly reduce preventable deaths

sive emergency preparedness.
