'The Flowers in Her Room' – A Book by Class IX Student Nikasha Unveiled
Chandigarh, August 31, 2022:-'The Flowers in Her Room', a book consisting of five short plays, penned by Nikasha Luthra, a Class IX student of Vivek High School, Chandigarh, was unveiled during a press conference at Hotel Mountview here. Nikasha was accompanied by her father Deepak Luthra and her mother Nisha Luthra who is also Founder of The Narrators which is a performing arts society. Nikasha informed that four of the plays are based on human emotions and their conflicts, while one play is about the French revolution.
The titles of short plays are : 'The Emptiness Inside the Heart', 'Twelve Apples', 'When She Opened Her Eyes', 'The Silence of Her Lips', and 'Louis the Sixteenth'. The final piece is a play that depicts the mood of a young man when he suddenly becomes a king. This anecdote of history makes the book interesting for children. While 'Louis the Sixteenth' is in English the rest of the four plays have been written in a mix of Hindi and English writing.
Explaining the difference between story writing and playwriting, Nikasha said that in a play, many characters have to be tied up. Presenting that narrative on stage in a given time frame is a challenge in itself. The play writer goes through an internal struggle to keep the mood of the character in front of the audience. Regarding her next book, Nikasha said that she is working on a novel in the fiction genre and which is a murder mystery.
Nikasha's age doesn't hamper her inner writer and she gives a new flight to her emotional thinking through these plays. During the Covid 19 period, when the whole world was spending most of the time at hand on the internet and video calls , Nikasha was busy creating new characters through her pen. She has been associated with theatre since the age of seven. Being an artist herself, she understands the technical nuances of theatre very well and this understanding is clearly visible in her plays too.
When asked where she got the inspiration to write such mature plays at such a young age, Nikasha said that there was no single source of inspiration, but there are many factors that have influenced her writing. Her mother is closely associated with theatre, her father constantly encourages her, and her theater Guru has left a deep impact on her soul and mind.
Nikasha believes that many things have to be kept in mind while writing a play, such as the selection of the characters, the interactions between them, the duration of the play, the setting of the stage, and the conflict of the characters. She advises her peers that they must take out time in the day to read and write, as these are like food for the mind.
Two of her plays - 'The Emptiness Inside the Heart' and 'Twelve Apples' will be staged at the Mini Auditorium of the Tagore Theatre on September 2, 2022, beside the formal release of her book by Haryana Chief Information Commissioner, Vijay Vardhan who will be the chief guest. Vivek Atray, an ex-IAS officer and motivational speaker, eminent theatre personality Neelam Mansingh Chowdhry, Sinead Gilmartin and Michael Hanrahan from the Embassy of Ireland, New Delhi, and Atul Khosla, Founder and Vice Chancellor at Shoolini University too will be participating as guests' of honour. This theatrical presentation by The Narrators Performing Arts Society and Chandigarh Literary Society will be directed by Nisha Luthra. In these plays, who's set design has been done by Sarthak Narula, Karan will be on the violin, while Shivam, Divjot, and Raja will play important characters of the story.

Motor Insurance: Why do You Need It, Know Its Advantages
A comprehensive and adequate motor insurance can secure the vehicle owner's finances in such situations. It provides myriad benefits including coverage for cost of repair, coverage for catastrophes such as thefts, natural disasters, vandalism, and so on, as well as third-party liabilities. The vulnerability of such risks only gets higher during monsoons which is why vehicle owners need to be immensely prudent.
Speaking on the significance of motor insurance, Pankaj Verma, Head - Underwriting, SBI General Insurance said that it is crucial to understand the criticality of insurance and how it can cover a variety of issues relating to any type of damage to a vehicle. It is an advisable option to prevent financial stress by covering the vehicle with comprehensive insurance that provides cover for own damage as well as third-party liabilities. However, simply purchasing insurance is insufficient; you must also renew it on time. It is a wiser decision to have an adequate insurance plan that shields you during any mishap to your vehicle.
In India, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 mandates all vehicles to have a valid third-party liability policy. So, if you own a vehicle, you need an insurance plan for it, covering the mandated third-party liability. However, to further mitigate losses that are frequently not covered by standard motor insurance coverage, one must be equipped with necessary add-ons such as Depreciation Reimbursement, NCB (No Claim Bonus) Protection, Basic Roadside Assistance, Engine Guard Inconvenience Allowance Cover for consumables, emergency medical expense, enhanced Personal Accident cover to passengers etc.. These extended coverages can be added to a vehicle policy for a small fee and can be extremely beneficial.
राज्यसभा सांसद विक्रमजीत सिंह ने कुलवीर कौर, ट्रेनी पायलट को 5.80 लाख रुपये की स्कॉलरशिप प्रदान की
विक्रमजीत ने बताया कि बरनाला के पास महल कलां की रहने वाली कुलवीर एक बेहद गरीब घर से आती है । उनके पिता एक गरीब किसान हैं और मां आंगनबाडी कार्यकर्ता ।
विक्रमजीत सिंह द्वारा वित्त पोषित यह छात्रवृत्ति कोष पंजाब विधानसभा के अध्यक्ष कुलतार सिंह संधवान द्वारा शुरू किया गया था, जो इस छात्रवृत्ति कोष के अध्यक्ष है और मीत हायर उपाध्यक्ष है । यह पहली छात्रवृत्ति है जो कुलवीर कौर को उनके पेशेवर करियर के लिए दी जा रही है। ।
जल्द ही कमर्शियल पायलट बनने के लिए उन्हें बधाई देते हुए विक्रमजीत सिंह ने कहा कि न केवल हम उन्हें यह स्कॉलरशिप दे रहे हैं बल्कि हम उन्हें उनके व्यक्तित्व विकास और अंग्रेजी भाषा में क्षेष्ठता के लिए भी तैयार करेंगे ताकि कल जब पंजाब की यह बेटी जब अपने घरेलू यां अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे से एयरबस उड़ाएगी तो पूरे सूबे को उसपर गर्व हो । विक्रमजीत ने यह भी बताया की पहले वह अपने भविष्य के लिए कनाडा जा रही थी लेकिन हमारे कहने पर उसने यहां कमर्शियल पायलट कोर्स शुरू किया। हम सभी को उन पर गर्व है और हम उनके लंबे और सफल करियर की कामना करते हैं।
वहीं विक्रमजीत सिंह को धन्यवाद देते हुए कुलवीर कौर ने कहा कि मैंने प्रशिक्षु पायलट के रूप में 150 घंटे की उड़ान पूरी कर ली है और 50 घंटे की उड़ान के बाद मैं वाणिज्यिक पायलट बनूंगी। मेरा पायलट बनने का सपना था जो अब श्री विक्रमजीत सिंह द्वारा शुरू किए गए इस छात्रवृत्ति कोष के तहत पूरा हो गया है। उन्होंने पंजाब के अन्य छात्रों से भी कनाडा जाने और वहां बसने का अपना मन बदलने की अपील की। इसके बजाय सभी युवाओं को इस तरह के फंड का लाभ उठाना चाहिए और अपने करियर को सफलतापूर्वक आकार देना चाहिए।

डैरेन सामी ने आखिर 'मुकुट' क्यों पहना है
ऐसा लगता है कि अपने जबरदस्त सिक्सर्स और मुखर स्वभाव के लिए जाने जाने वाले डैरेन को कोई ऐसा विचार आया है जो कुछ अलग और पूरी तरह 'भारतीय' है। उनकी एक दिलचस्प तस्वीर सामने आई है। उन्होंने एक 'मुकुट' (ताज) पहना हुआ है, जैसा कि हमारे राजाओं द्वारा पहना जाता है, साथ ही उनके चेहरे पर एक आकर्षक मुस्कान है।
सेंट लूसिया द्वीप से अंतरराष्ट्रीय क्रिकेट खेलने वाले पहले व्यक्ति होने के नाते डैरेन, एक पथ-प्रदर्शक के रूप में जाने जाते हैं, इसलिए अगर वे किसी नए गेम प्लान की तैयारी करें, तो इसमें आश्चर्य वाली कोई बात नहीं होगी। हालांकि, यह जानना दिलचस्प होगा कि आखिर यह कौन सा काम है।
हम सभी जानते हैं कि वे भारत को अपना दूसरा घर कहते हैं, लेकिन क्या वे अपना दूसरा कॅरियर बॉलीवुड में बनाने पर विचार कर रहे हैं? या यह ओटीटी डेब्यू होगा?
लगता है 88 में अभी काफी मस्ती बाकी है!

We will also be announcing a host of exciting offers and schemes across our categories to make our products more affordable to consumers during these months.
We are working to enhance our in-store shopper experience across retail and company-owned outlets in India. Furthermore, given the increasing relevance of rural towns and their rising contribution to rising sales of branded,high-quality home appliances, Usha is working with its distributors to ensure last-mile connectivity during the festive season.
