The annual report of the RBI stating that the GDP growth has slipped to 5% in the first quarter of FY20

The latest annual report of the RBI stating that the GDP growth has slipped to 5% in the first quarter of FY20, the lowest in 6 years, is a glaring indicator of the economic crisis looming over our economy. The slumped automobile sector, increase in NPAs- all point out at an economic slowdown and an urgent need of government attention and impactful measures to reverse the downturn.

On Saturday, i.e. the 14th of September, the Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, announced a fresh set of measures to battle the slowdown, with a 70,000 crore boost package for housing and exports. A special 10,000 crore window has been extended towards last mile funding for stuck residential
real estate projects that have dampened the sentiment and have been responsible, to some extent, for the real estate sector crash.

Towards exports, a new scheme called the Remission of Duties or Taxes on Export Product will be coming into effect from January 2020 and Export Credit Guarantee Corporation will be offering higher insurance cover to banks. Dubai-like mega shopping festivals will also be held, the FM said, to bolster the sector. Other measures include improvement in credit outflows from banks and transmission of interest rate cuts.

Under the BJP government's rule, we have witnessed various historical judgements and bold decisions-from nullification of Article 377 and 35A to the Balakot Air Strike.
How the policy makers and think tanks will untangle the economic woes and restore investor confidence is now to be seen.

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.

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.
