(Come again early next year) DURATION: 9:05 mins PRODUCER: NATIONAL INSTITUE OF DESIGN DIRECTOR: prashant kadkol LANGUAGE: hindi / English SCRIPT: prashant kadkol ANIMATION: prashant kadkol COMPOSITING & EDITING: binoj john SOUND RECORDING: atul chauhan SOUND: prashant kadkol SYNOPSIS TITLE: pudchya varshi lavkar ya ! 2D ANIMATION FILM DURATION: 9:05 mins Dancing elephants celebrate the Lord Ganesha in this riveting animated film that builds to a crescendo of musical bliss. This is an original work, which took seven months to create, with 4,500 frames, all hand-drawn and colored by the artist single-handedly. During the festival of Ganesh Chaturti, the last time devotees get to see their beloved lord Ganesha is before immersion. But no one knows what happens underwater. This film is a blend of fact, myth & fantasy, which talks about the journey of an immersed image underwater. All the immersed clay images, each one with innovative iconography, get animated (indicating the presence of prana). Their energy and merrymaking finally make the God himself appear, to collect prana from all the images. This leaves inanimate clay objects, which quickly dissolve into formlessness. This formless state of clay only lasts for a short time, though. In next year's festival the prana again regains its iconic form. In this respect it replicates the cosmos itself.

...where people can pray peacefully. In fact some temples provide a roof for people to stay as well. While the pantheon of Hindu gods is endless, the one deity that stands out is the elephant-headed Lord Ganesh, and people take the name of this God in their supreme belief that he will take care of every grief, sorrow and anxiety in this world. Easily called ‘Bappa’, a Hindi name for ‘Lord Ganesh’, Mumbaikars build their faith to get this God into their homes as well as specially set-up public platforms, once a year, and house him for ten days. This is the special festival dedicated to Ganesh, and it is celebrated with much pomp, excitement and devotion. Today I have with me the famous preacher Mr. Ramnaresh Ori and I decide that I am going to ask him all that I want to know about a deity that I see around me, but know so little about.

...Wanda Jenkins Dr. Michael McLaughlin World Religions: Eastern and West 2 September 2014 The Four Yogas In Hinduism, there are four paths of yoga that are utilized as a reference guide that can help one along their spiritual journey towards self-realization. These paths provide different avenues that work for different people and are tailored towards certain temperaments so that one can choose the path that will provide them with the most success. According to Philip Novak, “Hinduism recognizes four paths of yoga or methods of self-transformation: the yoga of action (karma), the yoga of devotion (bhakti), the yoga of knowledge (jnana), and the yoga of meditation (raja yoga)” (Novak 34). These are paths to spiritual self- transformation that one can take after they have been taught that the controlling of the mind comes through meditation. Karma yoga is the pathway to self-transformation through work or action in the form of selfless service. Karma yoga appeals to those who have active temperaments. An example is given out of the book explaining that we are human machines made for action or work. Meaning, that our entire body, except for the reproductive apparatus merges together through action. The drive to work is mental not economical. We are by nature selfish beings, through Karma yoga we can step out of our spiritual ignorance through selfless actions. The goal of Karma yoga is for one to continually work towards acting in a selfless nature. Karma yoga is...

Gupta gets right to the point in his book “Philosophy of life”. He does not use outlandish sentences and problematical paragraphs to explain what he is saying. The book starts out by his explanations of philosophy, and Gupta gives two examples of what philosophy meant in the past and what it means nowadays. Back when philosophy was developed a philosopher had been considered a thinker, and it did not matter on what subject. Nowadays, a philosopher is a thinker of non-materialistic subjects like knowledge. Those subjects like science, history, and economics have their own sets of thinkers labelled scientist, historian, economist etc. Gupta is saying that philosophy used to touch on many subjects, and even though these other subjects are not called philosophy, philosophy is in their DNA and always will be. (Gupta, p. 1) Then Gupta gives an example of “Philosophy of Life” he got of the internet, which is “Any philosophical view or vision of the nature or purpose of life or of the way that life should be lived”. (Random House, Inc., 2015) He does not give his own definition on the subject, but he does go on explaining that everyone has his or her own outlook on the philosophy of life, you do not have to be a philosopher to have an opinion on the matter.

It mainly competed with the namkeen available in the market. Evening snacks which in India is known for namkeen is eaten everywhere. Kurkure did significantly well to replace it by introducing snacks. Kurkure was launched initially as a sub brand under Lehar and later in 2001 they stepped out from Lehar. In 2005, they targeted the “Evening Tea time” as their positioning. In 1990‟s, Indian market was dominated by local unorganized brand of namkeen. Also Haldiram and Bikaner bhujiya was preferred by most of the people. Kurkure had to struggle a lot for making its own place in traditional lovers of namkeen.

It was always in minds of Indians to sit together either on tea or coffee and have chit chat.

...11/14/12 Vedic way to eradicate corruption LONG AGO A NASTY REPORTER CONFRONTED THE Indian Iron Lady, Indira Gandhi, who had dismembered Pakistan, with the rampant corruption at almost all levels of administration. Indeed indirectly she shouldered the responsibility of overseeing the governance of a big nation with a large and diverse population. She deftly brushed aside the loaded question by a swipe of her hand accompanied by a short sentence that Corruption was a global phenomenon. How true and how false. Undoubtedly large amounts of cash changed hands in big offices in Japan for granting favours illegally and resigning when caught in the act. Same was the case with the developed countries of the West. But India walked away with the cake in being submerged inb corruption from top to toe in all walks of life. How is it now, one may ask. Well, the situation on the corruption front has gone from bad to worse. Now under the present regime at the Centre, headed by the same Congress party to which Indira Gandhi belonged, there is a scam a day, There is hardly a Minister of the government who is not directly or indirectly involved in a scam. So, no one can claim that he or she is more pious than the Pope. No one is in a position to exercise the right of throwing the first stone at the sinner because all are sinners and sailing in the same boat. WHAT IS CORRUPTION The dishonest or illegal behavior of people in authority for granting favours for a consideration is termed...

...Essay Topic Why is the study of Different Theories of Motivation important to managers? The World has changed at a very fast pace and will continue to do so. The view point that many prominent researchers had on motivation has also evolved with changing times. There has been a phenomenal change in the way organizations and individuals function in the twenty first century if we made a comparison with how organizations functioned back in the day. There is a significantly greater focus today on employee satisfaction, work life balance, cross cultural values, virtual teams and formal performance management processes to name a few. Globalization is one the key factors which has brought a prominent change in many organizational practices in the twenty first century. Hershey and Blanchard (1977) mentioned that “motives can be defined as needs, wants, drives or impulses within the individual which are directed towards goals which may be conscious or sub conscious”. Motivation has been defined by Robbins, Decenzo and Coulter (2011) as “motivation is the process by which a person’s efforts are energized, directed, and sustained towards attaining a goal “ In this paper we will define motivation as the force which helps an individual focus on his immediate and long term goals and helps him run the extra mile. Also in this essay we will be focusing on the impact of culture on organizational behavior and the reasons why managers need to be aware of various motivational theories so that they...
