पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ भारत का एक और कड़ा एक्शन, 17 पाकिस्तानी यू-ट्यूब चैनल को किया बैन
#manypakistaniyoutubechannelsarebannedin_india 


पहलगाम अटैक के बाद पाकिस्तान प्रोपेगैंडा वॉर पर उतर आया है। दुनिया को अपना दामन पाक साफ बताने और भारत में माहौल खराब करने के लिए उसके नेता कोई कोर कसर नहीं छोड़ रहे हैं। पाकिस्तानी न्यूज चैनल और यूट्यूबर्स इसका हिस्सा बन गए हैं। भारत ने पाकिस्तान की इस नापाक साजिश पर पलटवार किया है। भारत के खिलाफ दुष्प्रचार में लगे उसके कई न्यूज और यूट्यूब चैनलों की बोलती बंद कर दी गई है। भारत में उन पर बैन लगा दिया गया है।

इन चैनलों की “बोलती बंद”
पहलगाम आतंकी हमल के बाद उकसाने वाली और सांप्रदायिक रूप से संवेदनशील सामग्री फैलाने के आरोप में भारत सरकार ने 17 पाकिस्तानी यूट्यूब चैनलों को ब्लॉक कर दिया है। सरकारी सूत्रों के अनुसार, इन चैनलों के कुल 6.3 करोड़ सब्सक्राइबर थे। ब्लॉक किए गए चैनलों में पाकिस्तानी समाचार चैनल Dawn, Samaa TV, ARY News, Bol News, Raftar, Geo News और Suno News शामिल हैं। साथ ही पत्रकारों इर्शाद भट्टी, असमा शिराज़ी, उमर चीमा और मुनीब फारूक के यूट्यूब चैनल भी प्रतिबंधित कर दिए गए हैं। इसके अलावा The Pakistan Reference, Samaa Sports, Uzair Cricket और Razi Naama जैसे अन्य प्लेटफॉर्म भी इस सूची में हैं।

बीबीसी को भी चेतावनी
पहलगाम अटैक की रिपोर्टिंग को लेकर भारत ने सोमवार को 17 पाकिस्तानी यू-ट्यूब चैनल्स पर बैन लगा दिया है। इनमें क्रिकेटर शोएब अख्तर, डॉन न्यूज, समा टीवी और जिओ न्यूज शामिल हैं। सरकार का कहना है कि ये चैनल्स भारत और सुरक्षा एजेंसियों के खिलाफ झूठी और भ्रामक खबरें चला रहे हैं। 
बीबीसी को भी चेतावनी दी गई है। पहलगाम हमले की रिपोर्टिंग के दौरान बीबीसी आतंकवादियों को उग्रवादी बता रहा था। सरकार ने यह कार्रवाई गृह मंत्रालय की रिकमंडेशन के बाद की है।

पहले भी पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ सख्त कदम उठाए
पहलगाम हमले के बाद भारत ने पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ कड़ा रुख अपनाया है। भारत ने सिंधु जल संधि और पाकिस्तानी नागरिकों के लिए वीज़ा सेवाएं भी निलंबित कर दी हैं। इसके जवाब में पाकिस्तान ने कहा है कि वह भारत के साथ सभी द्विपक्षीय समझौतों, जिसमें शिमला समझौता भी शामिल है, को निलंबित करने का अधिकार रखता है।
प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने कहा है कि इस हमले में शामिल लोगों और उनके सरपरस्तों को ऐसी सजा दी जाएगी जिसकी उन्होंने कल्पना भी नहीं की होगी। उन्होंने देशवासियों से वादा किया कि हर आतंकी और उनके मददगारों को खोजा जाएगा, पकड़ा जाएगा और दंडित किया जाएगा।

 ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ Becomes a Movement of Unity
Rajveer Singh’s Bold Step to Support Kashmir: ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ to Proceed with Srinagar Visit Despite Recent Tragedy

In the face of sorrow and uncertainty, when the entire nation mourns the heartbreaking loss of innocent tourists in Pahalgam, one voice rises with purpose, compassion, and unwavering patriotism. Rajveer Singh India’s beloved digital creator and a symbol of youth strength, has taken a powerful and emotional stand—he will not cancel the Srinagar leg of his ongoing campaign, 'Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive.'

While many are questioning the future of tourism in Kashmir, Rajveer’s decision has sparked a new wave of hope. His visit to Srinagar on 4th May stands as a tribute to the spirit of unity, trust in the Indian Army, and the beauty of Kashmir—the crown of India.

Is this the end of Kashmir’s tourism dream? Are we letting fear overshadow the essence of one of the most breathtaking destinations on Earth? Can the valley’s warm-hearted people and incredible landscapes continue to attract visitors? Rajveer’s bold decision answers them all with one powerful message: India stands with Kashmir.

As part of his historic ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive,’ Rajveer is traveling across the country in a caravan specially modified by Camper Wheels, beautifully branded with elements of the Indian tricolor. His journey is not just a celebration of India’s diverse landscapes and culture but also a testament to the spirit of Bharat and unity among all.

On 23rd April, Rajveer celebrated his birthday at The LaLiT Udaipur, where he was surprised with a personal visit by Yukit Yora, one of the associate partners of the drive. Gifts poured in from campaign sponsors, making the day even more memorable. Today, on 26th April, Rajveer has reached his 6th destination: The Pink City, The LaLiT Jaipur.

Rajveer’s journey has already covered thousands of kilometers and countless emotions. Speaking of the roads, he shared some highlights of India’s evolving highway infrastructure:

Best Highway (Scenic + Driving Comfort): The Kerala to Goa coastal stretch, covering around 610 km in approx. 13 hours, stood out with its breathtaking views and smooth drive.

Best Night Drive: The Udaipur to Jaipur highway (around 395 km, 7.5 hours) offered great lighting, minimal traffic, and felt secure for overnight travel.

Worst Experience So Far: The Goa to Mumbai highway (approx. 590 km, 12 hours) was flagged by Rajveer for its poor condition and lack of lighting, making it extremely unsafe and highly accident-prone, especially for night drives.



As crowds greet his caravan on highways and locals stop by for photos and blessings, the success of ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ is turning into a national movement—one of hope, resilience, and pride.

Nutrition experts Talk on Decoding Cravings: Understanding the Connection Between Nutrient Deficiencies and Food Desires
In March, a team of diet consultants, led by Nutritionist Harpreet Pasricha, conducted a series of talks on cravings in celebration of International Women’s Day. These sessions were held at Pentair, Mount Litera Zee School, Indian Naval units, and all Diet Dr Clinics in Goa, Ludhiana, and Amritsar.

Cravings are intense desires for specific foods that many individuals experience. While they can be influenced by emotions and habits, they may also indicate underlying nutrient deficiencies. This article explores the possible link between cravings and nutritional gaps, offering insights on how to address them effectively.

Understanding Cravings

Cravings are more than mere hunger; they are powerful urges for particular foods. These desires can be influenced by:
	•	Physiological Needs: The body’s requirement for specific nutrients.
	•	Emotional States: Stress, anxiety, or sadness leading to comfort eating.
	•	Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes during menstrual cycles or pregnancy affecting appetite.

Recognizing the root cause of cravings is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.

Common Cravings and Their Potential Nutrient Links
	1.	Chocolate
	•	Possible Deficiency: Magnesium
	•	Explanation: Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is rich in magnesium. A craving for chocolate might indicate a need for this essential mineral, which plays roles in muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy production.
	•	Sources of Magnesium: Nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.
	2.	Ice (Pagophagia)
	•	Possible Deficiency: Iron
	•	Explanation: The compulsive consumption of ice, known as pagophagia, has been linked to iron-deficiency anemia. Chewing ice may provide temporary relief to oral inflammation caused by anemia.
	•	Sources of Iron: Red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, dark leafy greens, and iron-fortified cereals.
	3.	Salty Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Sodium or Chloride
	•	Explanation: An intense desire for salty snacks might suggest an electrolyte imbalance, particularly involving sodium or chloride. These minerals are vital for maintaining fluid balance and nerve function.
	•	Sources of Sodium and Chloride: Table salt, seafood, and vegetables like celery and tomatoes.
	4.	Red Meat
	•	Possible Deficiency: Iron or Vitamin B12
	•	Explanation: Craving red meat could signal low levels of iron or vitamin B12, both crucial for red blood cell formation and preventing anemia.
	•	Sources of Vitamin B12: Fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.
	5.	Cheese or Dairy
	•	Possible Deficiency: Calcium or Vitamin D
	•	Explanation: A hankering for cheese or dairy products may indicate a need for calcium or vitamin D, essential for bone health and muscle function.
	•	Sources of Calcium: Dairy products, fortified plant-based milks, and leafy green vegetables.
	•	Sources of Vitamin D: Fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and exposure to sunlight.
	6.	Sugary Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Chromium or Magnesium
	•	Explanation: A sweet tooth might be linked to low levels of chromium, which aids in blood sugar regulation, or magnesium, involved in glucose metabolism.
	•	Sources of Chromium: Broccoli, grapes, whole-grain products, and meats.
	7.	Pickles or Sour Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Sodium
	•	Explanation: Craving pickles or sour foods can be a sign of sodium deficiency, especially in individuals with low blood pressure or those losing sodium through sweat.
	8.	Fried or Fatty Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Essential Fatty Acids
	•	Explanation: A desire for fried foods may suggest a lack of essential fatty acids, necessary for brain function and hormone production.
	•	Sources of Essential Fatty Acids: Fatty fish, flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds.
	9.	Carbonated Drinks
	•	Possible Deficiency: Calcium
	•	Explanation: Some theories propose that craving fizzy drinks is linked to low calcium levels, though more research is needed in this area.

The Broader Impact of Nutrient Deficiencies

Nutrient deficiencies can manifest in various ways beyond cravings.

 For instance:
	•	Iron Deficiency: Affects approximately one in three adults, leading to symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and pica (craving non-nutritional substances). Addressing this requires incorporating iron-rich foods into the diet or considering supplements under medical guidance.
	•	Hidden Hunger: This term refers to subclinical nutrient deficiencies that don’t show immediate symptoms but can increase the risk of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is crucial to combat this issue.

Addressing and Preventing Nutrient Deficiencies

To mitigate cravings linked to nutrient deficiencies:
	•	Balanced Diet: Ensure a varied diet that includes all essential nutrients. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
	•	Regular Health Check-ups: Routine medical examinations can detect deficiencies early, allowing for timely interventions.
	•	Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger cues and cravings. Reflecting on what your body might be signaling can guide healthier food choices.
	•	Supplementation: When necessary, supplements can help address specific deficiencies. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you experience persistent cravings or suspect a nutrient deficiency, consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist is advisable. They can assess your dietary habits, identify potential deficiencies, and determine underlying causes, such as:
	•	Dietary Imbalances: Consuming foods that hinder nutrient absorption or lack essential nutrients.
	•	Malabsorption Issues: Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or environmental enteropathy can impair nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies. For instance, environmental enteropathy, prevalent in low-resource settings, is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, reducing nutrient absorption and leading to malnutrition and stunted growth.  
	•	Medication Interactions: Some medications can interfere with nutrient absorption. For example, metformin, a common diabetes medication, has been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.  

A healthcare professional can conduct necessary tests to diagnose deficiencies and recommend appropriate dietary adjustments or supplements.



To summarise, cravings can serve as insightful indicators of our body’s nutritional needs. By understanding the potential links between specific cravings and nutrient deficiencies, we can make informed dietary choices that promote overall health. Emphasizing a balanced diet, staying attuned to our body’s signals, and seeking professional guidance when needed are pivotal steps toward well-being.

जर्मनी की जूलिया का जालौन के दीपेश पर आया दिल, रचाई धूमधाम से शादी 


लखनऊ ।  प्यार की कोई सीमा नहीं होती, ये बात जर्मनी (Germany) की रहने वाली जूलिया ने साबित कर दी है। एक छोटी सी मुलाकात दोस्ती के बाद प्यार में बदली और फिर जालौन के रहने वाले दीपेश के साथ हिंदू रीति-रिवाज के साथ 7 फेरे ले लिए और उसे अपनी जिंदगी का हमसफर बना लिया। होली से ठीक एक दिन पहले जूलिया ने अपने विदेशी मेहमानों के साथ आकर यहां दीपेश संग शादी रचा ली।

बीएचयू से डिग्री प्राप्त करने के बाद दीपेश वियतनाम चले गये

दरअसल, यूपी के जालौन के जिला मुख्यालय उरई से मात्र 10 किमी की दूरी पर स्थित ग्राम कपासी निवासी मानवेन्द्र सिंह पटेल मनरेगा में संविदा पर टीए हैं। जिनकी पोस्टिंग जालौन में है। दीपेश पटेल, मानवेन्द सिंह वहू के इकलौते सुपुत्र है। उन्होने बनारस हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय से पॉलिटिकल साइंस में मास्टर डिग्री हासिल की है। दीपेश के पिता मानवेन्द्र सिंह ने बताया कि बीएचयू से डिग्री प्राप्त करने के बाद दीपेश वियतनाम चले गये। वहां उन्होने एक साल तक पढ़ाया और उसके बाद इण्डोनेशिया तथा यूएसए में भी रहे, लेकिन करीब ढाई साल से वह जर्मनी में रह रहे है।

जॉब के दौरान हुई थी जूलिया से मुलाकात

वहीं, दीपेश पटेल ने बताया कि जर्मनी में ही जॉब के दौरान उसकी मुलाकात जूलिया से हुई और फिर दोस्ती से शुरु हुआ सफर प्यार में बदल गया और अब जूलिया को जीवनसंगिनी बना लिया है। इसके बारे में अपने माता पिता को पहले ही जानकारी दे दी थी। उन्होंने भी अपनी सहमति जताई तो फिर शादी की तैयारियां शुरू हुई और अब प्यार को मंजिल मिल ही गई।

जूलिया के साथ मेहमानों को भा गया देशी कल्चर

जूलिया अपने 10 मेहमानों के साथ भारत आई और यहां आकर उसे देश की संस्कृति और यहां के रीति-रिवाजों से रुबरु होने का मौका मिला। इस शादी को यादगार बनाने के लिए दीपेश के परिवार ने सनातनी परंपराओं के मुताबिक शादी की संपन्न कराया। दीपेश की मां क्रांति भी बेटे की शादी से बेहद खुश हैं। 12 मार्च को दोनों ने अग्नि को साक्षी मानते हुए दांपत्य जीवन में प्रवेश किया। इस दौरान विदेशों मेहमानों ने यहां की संस्कृति को सर्वश्रेष्ठ माना।

गूंज उठी तालियां जब भारतीय और विदेशी संस्कृति का हुआ संगम

यह विवाह भारतीय और विदेशी संस्कृति का अनोखा संगम रहा। यह विवाह के हर किसी के लिए खास था, क्योंकि एक ही मंडप के नीचे यहां की पवित्रता और आध्यात्मिकता का माहौल बन चुका था। शादी में शामिल मेहमानों विवाह के सारे संस्कार पूरे किए और उन्होंने नवविवाहितों को आशीर्वाद देते हुए उनके सुखमय जीवन की कामना की।

Our journalist had the privilege of speaking with Commander Mandeep Pasricha
Our journalist had the privilege of speaking with Commander Mandeep Pasricha, a seasoned veteran with 24 years of distinguished service in Indian Navy. He comes with management qualifications from JBIMS, Mumbai University, and Symbiosis Pune. He has also worked with aircraft giants like Boeing, Ilyushin and Israel Aerospace. He is a certified Project Management Professional, with wide exposure in Revenue and Capital procurements and Product Management.
With a wealth of leadership experience, strategic acumen, and an unshakable commitment to excellence, he has successfully navigated the challenging transition from military life to the corporate world. In this candid conversation, he shares invaluable insights, practical advice, and hard-earned lessons for fellow faujis considering their next mission—thriving in the business world.

Fauji to Fauji: The Corporate Transition Playbook – An Interview
Interviewer: Welcome, Cdr Pasricha! There’s always a lot of buzz around military personnel transitioning to the corporate world. Many serving officers are on the fence about making the switch. What’s the most common question you hear from your fellow faujis?
Cdr Pasricha: Oh, I get a range of them! "Will I adjust to the new world order?", "How is corporate life?", "Is there stability at work?", "What do I need to plan before leaving service?"—the list goes on. The transition can feel like stepping into uncharted territory, but trust me, it's nothing a Fauji can't handle!

Interviewer: That’s reassuring! But let's be honest—military life is all about discipline, structure, and a well-defined purpose. The corporate world, on the other hand, is more profit-driven. How does this impact retired personnel?
Cdr Pasricha: Ah, the great shift in purpose! In the military, every mission serves a greater good—national security, saving lives, protecting borders. In the corporate world, success is measured by profits, market shares, and business growth. Many veterans initially struggle to find meaning in their work. The trick is to align yourself with roles that resonate with your core values—leadership development, consulting, or even CSR initiatives. Find your mission within the mission!

Interviewer: Well said! Now, the work culture is another massive change. In the military, hierarchy is everything—orders are followed, no questions asked. But in corporate life, collaboration and debate are encouraged. How do retired officers adapt?
Cdr Pasricha: You nailed it! In the forces, when a command is given, it’s executed—period. In the corporate world, questioning, brainstorming, and debating ideas are the norm. Initially, this can feel chaotic for veterans. My advice? Observe first. Soak in the dynamics. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll see that leadership here is more about influence than authority.
And here’s a pro tip: Instead of giving orders, ask, "What do you think?"—it works wonders!

Interviewer: That’s a gold nugget right there! Another big shift must be decision-making. Military officers are trained to take quick, high-pressure decisions. But the corporate world thrives on stakeholder consensus. Is that a tough adjustment?
Cdr Pasricha: Absolutely! In the military, a delay in decision-making can be life-threatening. In business, it’s all about buy-in from different stakeholders, endless meetings, and navigating office politics. Initially, the pace can be frustrating. But once you learn the game, you’ll see that your ability to make firm, informed decisions is a superpower. Just learn to balance decisiveness with diplomacy.

Interviewer: Speaking of adjustments, work-life balance is another big one. Defence personnel live in a close-knit community. But in corporate life, people clock out and go their own way. How does this impact retired officers?
Cdr Pasricha: Oh, this is a real shocker! In the armed forces, your colleagues are your family. You live together, train together, celebrate together. Then suddenly, you’re in a world where relationships are transactional, and weekend plans are personal. The key is to build new networks—join corporate clubs, alumni groups, or even veteran communities. Find your tribe, and you won’t feel alone!

Interviewer: That makes sense. Now, let’s talk money. The military offers a structured salary, benefits, housing, and medical perks. In corporate life, it’s all about negotiations. How can veterans ensure they get their due?
Cdr Pasricha: Negotiating salaries? That’s foreign territory for most of us! In the forces, our pay scales are fixed. But in corporate life, everything is negotiable. My advice? Do your homework. Know your market value. Speak to other veterans who have transitioned. And don’t undersell yourself—your leadership, discipline, and crisis-management skills are priceless.

Interviewer: What about career progression? In the military, promotions are structured. But in business, growth depends on networking and performance. How do retired personnel adapt to this?
Cdr Pasricha: That’s a mindset shift! In the armed forces, you rise through the ranks over time. In corporate, you must actively chase opportunities—network, take on new challenges, switch functions if needed. It’s more of a jungle gym than a ladder. My tip? Be open to lateral moves; they often lead to bigger roles down the line!

Interviewer: This has been enlightening! Before we wrap up, can you share some tips for faujis planning their corporate transition?
Cdr Pasricha: Of course! Here are my top five:
Upskill yourself – An executive MBA, project management certification, or industry-specific training will make you job-ready.
Leverage veteran networks – Connect with those who have successfully transitioned; they’ll guide you through.
Embrace change – Be open to feedback, learn new skills, and adapt quickly.
Play to your strengths – Leadership, crisis management, discipline—these are gold in the corporate world.
Use specialized agencies – There are organizations that help veterans with job placements, resumes, and career counseling.

Interviewer: This has been an eye-opener! Thank you, Cdr Pasricha, for sharing your insights. One last question—would you say this transition is difficult?
Cdr Pasricha: Difficult? Not at all! Challenging? Yes. But show me a Fauji who doesn’t love a challenge! We’ve conquered tougher terrains—this is just another mission. Plan well, adapt fast, and march forward. The corporate world isn’t ready for the force that’s coming their way!
Interviewer: (Laughs) Well, that’s the spirit! Thanks again, Cdr Pasricha. Wishing all our veterans a smooth and successful transition!

Final Thought: For every Fauji considering the corporate shift, remember: You’re not just a job-seeker—you’re a leader, a strategist, and a problem-solver. The boardroom needs more of your kind. Go, own it!

पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ भारत का एक और कड़ा एक्शन, 17 पाकिस्तानी यू-ट्यूब चैनल को किया बैन
#manypakistaniyoutubechannelsarebannedin_india 


पहलगाम अटैक के बाद पाकिस्तान प्रोपेगैंडा वॉर पर उतर आया है। दुनिया को अपना दामन पाक साफ बताने और भारत में माहौल खराब करने के लिए उसके नेता कोई कोर कसर नहीं छोड़ रहे हैं। पाकिस्तानी न्यूज चैनल और यूट्यूबर्स इसका हिस्सा बन गए हैं। भारत ने पाकिस्तान की इस नापाक साजिश पर पलटवार किया है। भारत के खिलाफ दुष्प्रचार में लगे उसके कई न्यूज और यूट्यूब चैनलों की बोलती बंद कर दी गई है। भारत में उन पर बैन लगा दिया गया है।

इन चैनलों की “बोलती बंद”
पहलगाम आतंकी हमल के बाद उकसाने वाली और सांप्रदायिक रूप से संवेदनशील सामग्री फैलाने के आरोप में भारत सरकार ने 17 पाकिस्तानी यूट्यूब चैनलों को ब्लॉक कर दिया है। सरकारी सूत्रों के अनुसार, इन चैनलों के कुल 6.3 करोड़ सब्सक्राइबर थे। ब्लॉक किए गए चैनलों में पाकिस्तानी समाचार चैनल Dawn, Samaa TV, ARY News, Bol News, Raftar, Geo News और Suno News शामिल हैं। साथ ही पत्रकारों इर्शाद भट्टी, असमा शिराज़ी, उमर चीमा और मुनीब फारूक के यूट्यूब चैनल भी प्रतिबंधित कर दिए गए हैं। इसके अलावा The Pakistan Reference, Samaa Sports, Uzair Cricket और Razi Naama जैसे अन्य प्लेटफॉर्म भी इस सूची में हैं।

बीबीसी को भी चेतावनी
पहलगाम अटैक की रिपोर्टिंग को लेकर भारत ने सोमवार को 17 पाकिस्तानी यू-ट्यूब चैनल्स पर बैन लगा दिया है। इनमें क्रिकेटर शोएब अख्तर, डॉन न्यूज, समा टीवी और जिओ न्यूज शामिल हैं। सरकार का कहना है कि ये चैनल्स भारत और सुरक्षा एजेंसियों के खिलाफ झूठी और भ्रामक खबरें चला रहे हैं। 
बीबीसी को भी चेतावनी दी गई है। पहलगाम हमले की रिपोर्टिंग के दौरान बीबीसी आतंकवादियों को उग्रवादी बता रहा था। सरकार ने यह कार्रवाई गृह मंत्रालय की रिकमंडेशन के बाद की है।

पहले भी पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ सख्त कदम उठाए
पहलगाम हमले के बाद भारत ने पाकिस्तान के खिलाफ कड़ा रुख अपनाया है। भारत ने सिंधु जल संधि और पाकिस्तानी नागरिकों के लिए वीज़ा सेवाएं भी निलंबित कर दी हैं। इसके जवाब में पाकिस्तान ने कहा है कि वह भारत के साथ सभी द्विपक्षीय समझौतों, जिसमें शिमला समझौता भी शामिल है, को निलंबित करने का अधिकार रखता है।
प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी ने कहा है कि इस हमले में शामिल लोगों और उनके सरपरस्तों को ऐसी सजा दी जाएगी जिसकी उन्होंने कल्पना भी नहीं की होगी। उन्होंने देशवासियों से वादा किया कि हर आतंकी और उनके मददगारों को खोजा जाएगा, पकड़ा जाएगा और दंडित किया जाएगा।

 ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ Becomes a Movement of Unity
Rajveer Singh’s Bold Step to Support Kashmir: ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ to Proceed with Srinagar Visit Despite Recent Tragedy

In the face of sorrow and uncertainty, when the entire nation mourns the heartbreaking loss of innocent tourists in Pahalgam, one voice rises with purpose, compassion, and unwavering patriotism. Rajveer Singh India’s beloved digital creator and a symbol of youth strength, has taken a powerful and emotional stand—he will not cancel the Srinagar leg of his ongoing campaign, 'Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive.'

While many are questioning the future of tourism in Kashmir, Rajveer’s decision has sparked a new wave of hope. His visit to Srinagar on 4th May stands as a tribute to the spirit of unity, trust in the Indian Army, and the beauty of Kashmir—the crown of India.

Is this the end of Kashmir’s tourism dream? Are we letting fear overshadow the essence of one of the most breathtaking destinations on Earth? Can the valley’s warm-hearted people and incredible landscapes continue to attract visitors? Rajveer’s bold decision answers them all with one powerful message: India stands with Kashmir.

As part of his historic ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive,’ Rajveer is traveling across the country in a caravan specially modified by Camper Wheels, beautifully branded with elements of the Indian tricolor. His journey is not just a celebration of India’s diverse landscapes and culture but also a testament to the spirit of Bharat and unity among all.

On 23rd April, Rajveer celebrated his birthday at The LaLiT Udaipur, where he was surprised with a personal visit by Yukit Yora, one of the associate partners of the drive. Gifts poured in from campaign sponsors, making the day even more memorable. Today, on 26th April, Rajveer has reached his 6th destination: The Pink City, The LaLiT Jaipur.

Rajveer’s journey has already covered thousands of kilometers and countless emotions. Speaking of the roads, he shared some highlights of India’s evolving highway infrastructure:

Best Highway (Scenic + Driving Comfort): The Kerala to Goa coastal stretch, covering around 610 km in approx. 13 hours, stood out with its breathtaking views and smooth drive.

Best Night Drive: The Udaipur to Jaipur highway (around 395 km, 7.5 hours) offered great lighting, minimal traffic, and felt secure for overnight travel.

Worst Experience So Far: The Goa to Mumbai highway (approx. 590 km, 12 hours) was flagged by Rajveer for its poor condition and lack of lighting, making it extremely unsafe and highly accident-prone, especially for night drives.



As crowds greet his caravan on highways and locals stop by for photos and blessings, the success of ‘Rajveer X India’s Luxury Drive’ is turning into a national movement—one of hope, resilience, and pride.

Nutrition experts Talk on Decoding Cravings: Understanding the Connection Between Nutrient Deficiencies and Food Desires
In March, a team of diet consultants, led by Nutritionist Harpreet Pasricha, conducted a series of talks on cravings in celebration of International Women’s Day. These sessions were held at Pentair, Mount Litera Zee School, Indian Naval units, and all Diet Dr Clinics in Goa, Ludhiana, and Amritsar.

Cravings are intense desires for specific foods that many individuals experience. While they can be influenced by emotions and habits, they may also indicate underlying nutrient deficiencies. This article explores the possible link between cravings and nutritional gaps, offering insights on how to address them effectively.

Understanding Cravings

Cravings are more than mere hunger; they are powerful urges for particular foods. These desires can be influenced by:
	•	Physiological Needs: The body’s requirement for specific nutrients.
	•	Emotional States: Stress, anxiety, or sadness leading to comfort eating.
	•	Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes during menstrual cycles or pregnancy affecting appetite.

Recognizing the root cause of cravings is essential for maintaining overall health and well-being.

Common Cravings and Their Potential Nutrient Links
	1.	Chocolate
	•	Possible Deficiency: Magnesium
	•	Explanation: Chocolate, especially dark chocolate, is rich in magnesium. A craving for chocolate might indicate a need for this essential mineral, which plays roles in muscle function, nerve signaling, and energy production.
	•	Sources of Magnesium: Nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, and leafy green vegetables.
	2.	Ice (Pagophagia)
	•	Possible Deficiency: Iron
	•	Explanation: The compulsive consumption of ice, known as pagophagia, has been linked to iron-deficiency anemia. Chewing ice may provide temporary relief to oral inflammation caused by anemia.
	•	Sources of Iron: Red meat, poultry, seafood, beans, dark leafy greens, and iron-fortified cereals.
	3.	Salty Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Sodium or Chloride
	•	Explanation: An intense desire for salty snacks might suggest an electrolyte imbalance, particularly involving sodium or chloride. These minerals are vital for maintaining fluid balance and nerve function.
	•	Sources of Sodium and Chloride: Table salt, seafood, and vegetables like celery and tomatoes.
	4.	Red Meat
	•	Possible Deficiency: Iron or Vitamin B12
	•	Explanation: Craving red meat could signal low levels of iron or vitamin B12, both crucial for red blood cell formation and preventing anemia.
	•	Sources of Vitamin B12: Fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products.
	5.	Cheese or Dairy
	•	Possible Deficiency: Calcium or Vitamin D
	•	Explanation: A hankering for cheese or dairy products may indicate a need for calcium or vitamin D, essential for bone health and muscle function.
	•	Sources of Calcium: Dairy products, fortified plant-based milks, and leafy green vegetables.
	•	Sources of Vitamin D: Fatty fish, fortified dairy products, and exposure to sunlight.
	6.	Sugary Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Chromium or Magnesium
	•	Explanation: A sweet tooth might be linked to low levels of chromium, which aids in blood sugar regulation, or magnesium, involved in glucose metabolism.
	•	Sources of Chromium: Broccoli, grapes, whole-grain products, and meats.
	7.	Pickles or Sour Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Sodium
	•	Explanation: Craving pickles or sour foods can be a sign of sodium deficiency, especially in individuals with low blood pressure or those losing sodium through sweat.
	8.	Fried or Fatty Foods
	•	Possible Deficiency: Essential Fatty Acids
	•	Explanation: A desire for fried foods may suggest a lack of essential fatty acids, necessary for brain function and hormone production.
	•	Sources of Essential Fatty Acids: Fatty fish, flaxseeds, walnuts, and chia seeds.
	9.	Carbonated Drinks
	•	Possible Deficiency: Calcium
	•	Explanation: Some theories propose that craving fizzy drinks is linked to low calcium levels, though more research is needed in this area.

The Broader Impact of Nutrient Deficiencies

Nutrient deficiencies can manifest in various ways beyond cravings.

 For instance:
	•	Iron Deficiency: Affects approximately one in three adults, leading to symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, and pica (craving non-nutritional substances). Addressing this requires incorporating iron-rich foods into the diet or considering supplements under medical guidance.
	•	Hidden Hunger: This term refers to subclinical nutrient deficiencies that don’t show immediate symptoms but can increase the risk of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes. A balanced diet rich in essential nutrients is crucial to combat this issue.

Addressing and Preventing Nutrient Deficiencies

To mitigate cravings linked to nutrient deficiencies:
	•	Balanced Diet: Ensure a varied diet that includes all essential nutrients. Incorporate fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
	•	Regular Health Check-ups: Routine medical examinations can detect deficiencies early, allowing for timely interventions.
	•	Mindful Eating: Pay attention to hunger cues and cravings. Reflecting on what your body might be signaling can guide healthier food choices.
	•	Supplementation: When necessary, supplements can help address specific deficiencies. However, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen.

When to Seek Professional Help

If you experience persistent cravings or suspect a nutrient deficiency, consulting a registered dietitian or nutritionist is advisable. They can assess your dietary habits, identify potential deficiencies, and determine underlying causes, such as:
	•	Dietary Imbalances: Consuming foods that hinder nutrient absorption or lack essential nutrients.
	•	Malabsorption Issues: Conditions like celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, or environmental enteropathy can impair nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies. For instance, environmental enteropathy, prevalent in low-resource settings, is characterized by chronic intestinal inflammation, reducing nutrient absorption and leading to malnutrition and stunted growth.  
	•	Medication Interactions: Some medications can interfere with nutrient absorption. For example, metformin, a common diabetes medication, has been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency.  

A healthcare professional can conduct necessary tests to diagnose deficiencies and recommend appropriate dietary adjustments or supplements.



To summarise, cravings can serve as insightful indicators of our body’s nutritional needs. By understanding the potential links between specific cravings and nutrient deficiencies, we can make informed dietary choices that promote overall health. Emphasizing a balanced diet, staying attuned to our body’s signals, and seeking professional guidance when needed are pivotal steps toward well-being.

जर्मनी की जूलिया का जालौन के दीपेश पर आया दिल, रचाई धूमधाम से शादी 


लखनऊ ।  प्यार की कोई सीमा नहीं होती, ये बात जर्मनी (Germany) की रहने वाली जूलिया ने साबित कर दी है। एक छोटी सी मुलाकात दोस्ती के बाद प्यार में बदली और फिर जालौन के रहने वाले दीपेश के साथ हिंदू रीति-रिवाज के साथ 7 फेरे ले लिए और उसे अपनी जिंदगी का हमसफर बना लिया। होली से ठीक एक दिन पहले जूलिया ने अपने विदेशी मेहमानों के साथ आकर यहां दीपेश संग शादी रचा ली।

बीएचयू से डिग्री प्राप्त करने के बाद दीपेश वियतनाम चले गये

दरअसल, यूपी के जालौन के जिला मुख्यालय उरई से मात्र 10 किमी की दूरी पर स्थित ग्राम कपासी निवासी मानवेन्द्र सिंह पटेल मनरेगा में संविदा पर टीए हैं। जिनकी पोस्टिंग जालौन में है। दीपेश पटेल, मानवेन्द सिंह वहू के इकलौते सुपुत्र है। उन्होने बनारस हिन्दू विश्वविद्यालय से पॉलिटिकल साइंस में मास्टर डिग्री हासिल की है। दीपेश के पिता मानवेन्द्र सिंह ने बताया कि बीएचयू से डिग्री प्राप्त करने के बाद दीपेश वियतनाम चले गये। वहां उन्होने एक साल तक पढ़ाया और उसके बाद इण्डोनेशिया तथा यूएसए में भी रहे, लेकिन करीब ढाई साल से वह जर्मनी में रह रहे है।

जॉब के दौरान हुई थी जूलिया से मुलाकात

वहीं, दीपेश पटेल ने बताया कि जर्मनी में ही जॉब के दौरान उसकी मुलाकात जूलिया से हुई और फिर दोस्ती से शुरु हुआ सफर प्यार में बदल गया और अब जूलिया को जीवनसंगिनी बना लिया है। इसके बारे में अपने माता पिता को पहले ही जानकारी दे दी थी। उन्होंने भी अपनी सहमति जताई तो फिर शादी की तैयारियां शुरू हुई और अब प्यार को मंजिल मिल ही गई।

जूलिया के साथ मेहमानों को भा गया देशी कल्चर

जूलिया अपने 10 मेहमानों के साथ भारत आई और यहां आकर उसे देश की संस्कृति और यहां के रीति-रिवाजों से रुबरु होने का मौका मिला। इस शादी को यादगार बनाने के लिए दीपेश के परिवार ने सनातनी परंपराओं के मुताबिक शादी की संपन्न कराया। दीपेश की मां क्रांति भी बेटे की शादी से बेहद खुश हैं। 12 मार्च को दोनों ने अग्नि को साक्षी मानते हुए दांपत्य जीवन में प्रवेश किया। इस दौरान विदेशों मेहमानों ने यहां की संस्कृति को सर्वश्रेष्ठ माना।

गूंज उठी तालियां जब भारतीय और विदेशी संस्कृति का हुआ संगम

यह विवाह भारतीय और विदेशी संस्कृति का अनोखा संगम रहा। यह विवाह के हर किसी के लिए खास था, क्योंकि एक ही मंडप के नीचे यहां की पवित्रता और आध्यात्मिकता का माहौल बन चुका था। शादी में शामिल मेहमानों विवाह के सारे संस्कार पूरे किए और उन्होंने नवविवाहितों को आशीर्वाद देते हुए उनके सुखमय जीवन की कामना की।

Our journalist had the privilege of speaking with Commander Mandeep Pasricha
Our journalist had the privilege of speaking with Commander Mandeep Pasricha, a seasoned veteran with 24 years of distinguished service in Indian Navy. He comes with management qualifications from JBIMS, Mumbai University, and Symbiosis Pune. He has also worked with aircraft giants like Boeing, Ilyushin and Israel Aerospace. He is a certified Project Management Professional, with wide exposure in Revenue and Capital procurements and Product Management.
With a wealth of leadership experience, strategic acumen, and an unshakable commitment to excellence, he has successfully navigated the challenging transition from military life to the corporate world. In this candid conversation, he shares invaluable insights, practical advice, and hard-earned lessons for fellow faujis considering their next mission—thriving in the business world.

Fauji to Fauji: The Corporate Transition Playbook – An Interview
Interviewer: Welcome, Cdr Pasricha! There’s always a lot of buzz around military personnel transitioning to the corporate world. Many serving officers are on the fence about making the switch. What’s the most common question you hear from your fellow faujis?
Cdr Pasricha: Oh, I get a range of them! "Will I adjust to the new world order?", "How is corporate life?", "Is there stability at work?", "What do I need to plan before leaving service?"—the list goes on. The transition can feel like stepping into uncharted territory, but trust me, it's nothing a Fauji can't handle!

Interviewer: That’s reassuring! But let's be honest—military life is all about discipline, structure, and a well-defined purpose. The corporate world, on the other hand, is more profit-driven. How does this impact retired personnel?
Cdr Pasricha: Ah, the great shift in purpose! In the military, every mission serves a greater good—national security, saving lives, protecting borders. In the corporate world, success is measured by profits, market shares, and business growth. Many veterans initially struggle to find meaning in their work. The trick is to align yourself with roles that resonate with your core values—leadership development, consulting, or even CSR initiatives. Find your mission within the mission!

Interviewer: Well said! Now, the work culture is another massive change. In the military, hierarchy is everything—orders are followed, no questions asked. But in corporate life, collaboration and debate are encouraged. How do retired officers adapt?
Cdr Pasricha: You nailed it! In the forces, when a command is given, it’s executed—period. In the corporate world, questioning, brainstorming, and debating ideas are the norm. Initially, this can feel chaotic for veterans. My advice? Observe first. Soak in the dynamics. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll see that leadership here is more about influence than authority.
And here’s a pro tip: Instead of giving orders, ask, "What do you think?"—it works wonders!

Interviewer: That’s a gold nugget right there! Another big shift must be decision-making. Military officers are trained to take quick, high-pressure decisions. But the corporate world thrives on stakeholder consensus. Is that a tough adjustment?
Cdr Pasricha: Absolutely! In the military, a delay in decision-making can be life-threatening. In business, it’s all about buy-in from different stakeholders, endless meetings, and navigating office politics. Initially, the pace can be frustrating. But once you learn the game, you’ll see that your ability to make firm, informed decisions is a superpower. Just learn to balance decisiveness with diplomacy.

Interviewer: Speaking of adjustments, work-life balance is another big one. Defence personnel live in a close-knit community. But in corporate life, people clock out and go their own way. How does this impact retired officers?
Cdr Pasricha: Oh, this is a real shocker! In the armed forces, your colleagues are your family. You live together, train together, celebrate together. Then suddenly, you’re in a world where relationships are transactional, and weekend plans are personal. The key is to build new networks—join corporate clubs, alumni groups, or even veteran communities. Find your tribe, and you won’t feel alone!

Interviewer: That makes sense. Now, let’s talk money. The military offers a structured salary, benefits, housing, and medical perks. In corporate life, it’s all about negotiations. How can veterans ensure they get their due?
Cdr Pasricha: Negotiating salaries? That’s foreign territory for most of us! In the forces, our pay scales are fixed. But in corporate life, everything is negotiable. My advice? Do your homework. Know your market value. Speak to other veterans who have transitioned. And don’t undersell yourself—your leadership, discipline, and crisis-management skills are priceless.

Interviewer: What about career progression? In the military, promotions are structured. But in business, growth depends on networking and performance. How do retired personnel adapt to this?
Cdr Pasricha: That’s a mindset shift! In the armed forces, you rise through the ranks over time. In corporate, you must actively chase opportunities—network, take on new challenges, switch functions if needed. It’s more of a jungle gym than a ladder. My tip? Be open to lateral moves; they often lead to bigger roles down the line!

Interviewer: This has been enlightening! Before we wrap up, can you share some tips for faujis planning their corporate transition?
Cdr Pasricha: Of course! Here are my top five:
Upskill yourself – An executive MBA, project management certification, or industry-specific training will make you job-ready.
Leverage veteran networks – Connect with those who have successfully transitioned; they’ll guide you through.
Embrace change – Be open to feedback, learn new skills, and adapt quickly.
Play to your strengths – Leadership, crisis management, discipline—these are gold in the corporate world.
Use specialized agencies – There are organizations that help veterans with job placements, resumes, and career counseling.

Interviewer: This has been an eye-opener! Thank you, Cdr Pasricha, for sharing your insights. One last question—would you say this transition is difficult?
Cdr Pasricha: Difficult? Not at all! Challenging? Yes. But show me a Fauji who doesn’t love a challenge! We’ve conquered tougher terrains—this is just another mission. Plan well, adapt fast, and march forward. The corporate world isn’t ready for the force that’s coming their way!
Interviewer: (Laughs) Well, that’s the spirit! Thanks again, Cdr Pasricha. Wishing all our veterans a smooth and successful transition!

Final Thought: For every Fauji considering the corporate shift, remember: You’re not just a job-seeker—you’re a leader, a strategist, and a problem-solver. The boardroom needs more of your kind. Go, own it!
