49 वर्षीय नरिंदर सिंह ने 18 वर्षों से अधिक समय तक देश भर में 1,225 गुरुद्वारों की यात्रा की है, विस्तृत जानकारी एकत्र की है, स्थानीय इतिहास की पुष्टि की है और यह सुनिश्चित किया है कि प्रत्येक स्थल का इतिहास  सटीक रूप से संरक्षित है। उनका लक्ष्य- परंपरा और प्रौद्योगिकी के बीच की खाई को पाटना, सिख इतिहास को सभी के लिए सुलभ बनाना।

भक्ति और समर्पण की यात्रा:---यह ऐप नेविगेशन टूल से कहीं बढ़कर है। यह लगभग दो दशकों के जुनून और दृढ़ता का परिणाम है। 2006 के बाद से, नरिंदर सिंह ने पूरे भारत की यात्रा की है और जिन गुरुद्वारों की उन्होंने यात्रा की, उनकी हर ऐतिहासिक और आध्यात्मिक बारीकियों का श्रमपूर्वक दस्तावेजीकरण किया है। इसका परिणाम एक डिजिटल प्लेटफ़ॉर्म है जो उपयोगकर्ताओं को इन स्थलों की खोज करते समय एक गहन, प्रामाणिक अनुभव प्रदान करता है।

फरीदाबाद के संजीव कुमार ने जीता नागालैंड स्टेट डिअर पूजा बम्पर लॉटरी का ढ़ाई करोड़ रुपए का इनाम

By 121 News

Zirakpur, Oct.16, 2024:--ऊपर वाला जब देता है तो छप्पर फाड़ के देता है. कुछ ऐसा ही हुआ पंजाब के जीरकपुर में देखने को मिला है। यहां फरीदाबाद के एक व्यक्ति की ढ़ाई करोड़ रुपए की लॉटरी लगी है। किस्मत के धनी रहे संजीव कुमार ने नागालैंड स्टेट डिअर पूजा बम्पर लॉटरी के इस टिकट को मात्र 500 रुपए में खरीदा था। वो लाटरी के इस टिकट को खरीद कर रख कर भूल गए थे कि लाटरी निकलनी तो है नही। लेकिन होनी को कुछ और ही मंजूर था, वो कहीं फैमिली फंक्शन में व्यस्त थे, जब उन्हें पता चला कि उनकी लाटरी निकल आई है। एकबारगी तो विश्वास ही नही कर पाए।

संजीव कुमार ने बताया कि वह पिछले 4-5 सालों से लॉटरी का टिकट खरीद रहे हैं। वो फरीदाबाद में रहते हैं तथा एडवरटाइजिंग का बिज़नेस चला रहे हैं। एक दिन अपने काम के सिलसिले में जीरकपुर से गुजरते हुए लाटरी के स्टाल्स देख लाटरी का टिकट खरीदने की इच्छा जागी। उन्होंने अंशु लाटरी सेन्टर से टिकट खरीदा तो उनका 2000 रुपये का ड्रा निकला। उनमें चस्का लग गया और उन्होंने टिकट खरीदना शुरू कर दिया। पिछले महीने 

नागालैंड स्टेट डिअर पूजा बम्पर लॉटरी  का14 सितंबर 2024 के ड्रा का टिकट मांगा। लेकिन गलती से अंशु लाटरी सेन्टर ने उन्हें नागालैंड स्टेट डिअर पूजा बम्पर लॉटरी 12 अक्तूबर 2024 के ड्रा का टिकट दे दिया। गलती का पता चलने पर उन्होंने टिकट को एक तरफ रख दिया कि शायद उनकी किस्मत अच्छी नही है। जिसके चलते उन्हें सितंबर की जगह अक्तूबर की टिकट मिली। लेकिन शायद भाग्य को कुछ और ही मंजूर था। वो परिवार के साथ फ़िल्म देख रहे थे। जब उन्हें अंशु लाटरी सेन्टर से फ़ोन आया कि नागालैंड स्टेट डिअर पूजा बम्पर लॉटरी का उनका ढ़ाई करोड़ रुपए का ड्रा निकला है। एकबारगी तो उन्हें विश्वास नही हुआ, उन्हें लगा कि कोई उनके साथ मजाक कर रहा है। लेकिन अंशु लाटरी वालों के यकीन दिलाए जाने के बाद उन्होंने परमपिता परमेश्वर का धन्यवाद किया। उन्होंने बताया कि जीती गई रकम से कुछ हिस्सा वो धर्म कर्म और समाजसेवा में लगाएंगे तो कुछ हिस्सा व्यापार व कुछ बच्चों के भविष्य के लिए निवेश करेंगे ।

वहीं अंशु लाटरी सेन्टर के संचालक विजय तनेजा ने बताया कि लाटरी भाग्य का खेल है। कई का भाग्य चरण जाग जाता है और कई वर्षों लाटरी डालते रह जाते हैं। फरीदाबाद के संजीव कुमार भी उन्हीं में से एक है। उनके अंशु लाटरी सेन्टर से लाटरी के जरिये बहुत से लोग अपनी किस्मत आजमा कर लखपति और करोड़पति बन चुके है। उन्होंने लाटरी डाल खुद का भी कई बार भाग्य चेक किया, लेकिन अभी उनकी किस्मत जागी नही। उन्होंने यह भी बताया कि अंशु लाटरी सेन्टर से मात्र 39 दिन में दूसरा करोड़पति बना है।

A nation-wide naming campaign got the Kylaq its name, which will be premiered globally on November 6, 2024. With the Kylaq, Škoda Auto India will offer a range of SUVs including the luxury offering Kodiaq and the first launch from Škoda Auto's India 2.0 project, the mid-sized SUV, Kushaq. The Kylaq will see Škoda Auto present in the sub-4m segment, which holds almost 30% of the total Indian car market and is one of the fastest-growing segments in India. The Kylaq is set to add a new dimension to the compact SUV segment with its modern, bold and muscular styling, proven Škoda driving dynamics, uncompromising safety and a good mix of features making it a compelling value offering. The launch of the Kylaq will see Škoda Auto entering a 'New Era' in India, which is the most important market for the brand outside Europe.

Piyush Arora, Managing Director and CEO, Škoda Auto Volkswagen India said that he is proud to present Kylaq – the first compact SUV from Škoda India. Kylaq is designed and made with high levels of localisation, thereby strengthening our 'Make In India' commitment. It represents the Group's DNA of driving dynamic, safety and comfort, along with the practical features desired by our value conscious customers. He is sure the product will resonate with Indian customers mindset. Kylaq, designed and engineered in India, for India will be a gamechanger.

Modern, Bold and Muscular: Kylaq to appeal to a new set of customers

The Kylaq has been designed keeping in mind the evolving aspirations of Indian customers. It will see the implementation of the Škoda global design language in India. This design is defined by clear, reduced lines that reflect the simplicity, solidity and quality of Škoda cars. Bold and muscular shapes around the fenders provide an enhanced stance and road presence to the car.

This Škoda will also have a high ground clearance and space around the wheel for tackling uneven road surfaces and lend the car that SUV character. The design will retain the typical Škoda SUV language in the front and add details like refined and precise DRL light signatures. The upcoming SUV will also feature a hexagon pattern on the side and rear of the car lending more value to the design.

Petr Janeba, Brand Director, Škoda Auto India shared that expanding our portfolio is a key part of our growth strategy which will enable us to welcome more customers into the Škoda family. We committed to adding a new SUV – Kylaq -- to our offerings, and we are well on track for our biggest-ever launch in India. This is a huge milestone in our India journey, and will enable us to double our addressable market share. From the teasers shared, you can tell that this will be a stunning-looking SUV. The Kylaq is now undergoing the final set of testing, and as a result we cannot reveal the car in all its glory, yet. The Kylaq is the car that will democratise European technology in India. Among other things, it has over 25 active and passive safety features standard across all its variants, and about 30 in specific variants. The Kylaq is almost ready for its debut, and will lead the charts when it comes to safety and dynamics.

The Kylaq is powered by the proven and efficient 1.0 TSI engine, mated to the choice of a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The engine produces 85Kw of power and 178Nm of torque. The car is based on the same MQB-A0-IN platform as the Kushaq and Slavia. These two cars have already scored a full 5-stars in Global NCAP tests for adults and children. The Kylaq comes standard with over 25 active and passive safety features, including six airbags, traction and stability control, anti-lock brakes, Electronic Brake Distribution, Brake Disc Wiping, Roll Over Protection, Motor Slip Regulation, Electronic Differential Lock, Passenger airbag de-activation, Multi Collision Braking and ISOFIX seats among many others.

Kylaq will offer a good mix of space and comfort for the driver and passengers. The Kylaq will offer first-in-class six-way adjustable driver and passenger seats with ventilation function. The Kylaq will lead Škoda Auto's presence in the fastest-growing and most competitive segment in India.

The Kylaq has been tested over 800,000 kms of Indian terrain including urban, highway, uphill and rough roads. That is more than the distance from Earth to the moon and back. And more than 20 trips around the circumference of Earth. This all-new compact SUV has been put through temperatures varying from -10 to +85 degree Celsius and across elevation ranging from sea level to 3,000 metres above sea level. To ensure thorough monsoon preparedness and perfect sealing from the elements, 100 random samples of the Kylaq have been exposed to 25-30 litre per minute/sq mt. of water at an angle of upto 16 degrees. This ensures the Kylaq has zero water ingress in extreme monsoons. The Kylaq has also been put through a vehicle shaker test to ensure the interiors remain silent and rattle-free under all road surfaces. The car has also spent two years in open weather to test all the polymeric parts to ascertain there is no discolouration, distortion or loss of function under extreme sun or other external elements.

The 189 mm of ground clearance in the Kylaq ensured it tackled all obstacles it was put through for the test. Moreover, the Kylaq undergoes many quality practices in the manufacturing process itself ensuring class-leading safety and dynamics. The roof and other joints are laser-blazed, the geometry setting of the Kylaq is robotised, inline measurements of the chassis are done at two locations and AI cameras at the assembly line inspect for variations and inconsistencies on the engine surface. And hot-stamped steel, with a redone crash management system ensures the best possible safety in the Kylaq and is best in the segment.

Dr Preeti Jindal Edits Ground-Breaking Medical Treatise ‘Aesthetic Regenerative and Cosmetic Gynecology’

By 121 News

Chandigarh, Oct. 16, 2024:-:Dr Preeti Jindal, MD, DNB, MRCOG (UK), FICOG, and Director, The Touch Clinic, Mohali, has edited a pioneering medical treatise titled 'Aesthetic Regenerative and Cosmetic Gynecology.'  The book  has been published by JP Publishers & this is the first time an Indian publisher has introduced a book on this vital topic.

According to Dr Preeti, who is also the General Secretary of the Indian Society of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Gynaecology (InSARG), said that this book aims to demystify 'cosmetic gynecology' which is a specialized field of medicine focused on enhancing the aesthetic appearance and functionality of the female genitalia. It addresses various physical and aesthetic concerns women may have, including issues like labial asymmetry, vaginal laxity, and age-related changes such as loss of volume or elasticity.

It took Dr Preeti a year to put together the book spanning 195 pages and consisting of 29 chapters. The hardbound book has  five chapters by Dr Preeti Jindal. Her chapters provide an overview of cosmetic gynaecology, HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) Electromagnetic Technology Chair, Labiaplasty procedures- Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure that reduces or increases the size of the labia - the vaginal lips; Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for ovarian ageing, and extra peritoneal laser applications. 

Dr Preeti Jindal, a renowned expert in the field, and who is also is a Professor in the Department of Clinical Embryology and Reproductive Genetics at Rayat Bahra University, Punjab, said that procedures in cosmetic gynaecology range from non-surgical treatments like laser therapy, High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, to surgical interventions such as labiaplasty and vaginoplasty.

In reply to a question, Dr Preeti Jindal said that the book addresses numerous unspoken women's health issues and explores advanced treatment modalities. She added that with the increasing longevity of life, women now spend nearly a third of their lives in the postmenopausal phase. This stage of a woman's life is marked by estrogen deficiency. Estrogen is a hormone that plays a key role in the development and regulation of the female reproductive system. She said that women need to be very health conscious during the post menopause phase as this has prolonged due to increased life expectancy.

She said that estrogen is essential for maintaining beauty, bone health, cardiovascular health, a healthy sexual life, and even urinary health. The deficiency of estrogen can lead to issues such as vaginal dryness, urinary leakage, recurrent infections, body pain, and loss of libido.

Several new treatment modalities such as CO2 Vaginal Laser, HIFU, Rich Plasma PRP therapy, provide effective solutions for these conditions. The book 'Aesthetic Regenerative and Cosmetic Gynaecology' educates practitioners on the safe use of these interventions and offers comprehensive training protocols. Dr. Preeti added that it is a comprehensive guide for practicing regenerative medicine specialists.

Giving an example of regenerative gynecology Dr Preeti said that these days' couples delay childbirth, due to this with advancing age of females, egg production diminishes, impacting fertility. Here PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is useful. PRP stimulates tissue regeneration and improves ovarian function, thereby boosting the development of healthier eggs. This innovative approach is particularly beneficial for women who wish to have children late in life but their egg count is less.

It is noteworthy that Dr Preeti Jindal, who is also the Past President of the Mohali Obstetrics & Gynaecology Society (MOHOGS), was the co-editor of a book 'Aesthetic and Regenerative Gynecology' published 2 years back by the reputed international publisher Springer Nature .
