Personality of the Week Financial Prophet of India: Raghuram G. Rajan

Personality of the Week
Financial Prophet of India: Raghuram G. Rajan
While his peers would desire to become doctors or engineers; Raghuram Rajan as a young boy studying in the prestigious Delhi Public School RK Puram, would say that he wanted to become the Prime Minister of India, when asked about his ambition. Surely, he was born to dream and achieve.
As a gold medalist in IIT Delhi and IIM Ahmedabad, he was appointed as the Chief Economist and Director of Research at the International Monetary Fund in October 2003. Born in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, his perseverance and excellence in the field of finance made Rajan a global icon. He stepped on to become one of the youngest Governors of the Reserve Bank of India in 2013, holding the office at the age of 50. Coming back to India wasn’t a matter of chance; to contribute to his own country was what Rajan has lived and breathed for.
As the RBI Governor, he’s known for his ideas towards curbing inflation and has aimed at extending the banking services to the population of India who are still deprived of it. Rajan has been fiercely protective of the autonomy of the RBI, one of the most respected institutions of India. He is a practical man, who knows which battles to pick and which ones to drop.
Intelligence, integrity and popularity, he has it all. What he says or does moves the stock prices not only on the Dalal Street but even on the Wall Street! Often seen at the malls buying groceries at the weekend or spending time with his family, Rajan is rooted to the ground.
A man of exemplary skill and grit determination, Raghuram Rajan gracefully passes the legacy of the RBI Governor to Urijit R Patel the next month. He has been a field man who has always called a spade a spade, be it even questioning the Make in India campaign. He has the confidence to handle the backlash, thereby exhibiting his honesty and genuineness at work. He is truly the unbowed, unbent, unbroken.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic. This s...

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
