Why Buy When You Can Lease

Evolving mindset leads to growth in car leasing segment

Indians have traditionally prided themselves on their possessions, be it their homes or cars. Yet, this ownership mindset is gradually evolving in millennial India where leasing is becoming a preferred option.

Earlier, the concept of auto-leasing was restricted to the C-suite under corporate leasing and limited to luxury car brands. Gradually, there has been a paradigm shift and leasing is becoming mainstream as more private owners opt for leased vehicles.

Car leasing is widely considered one of the fastest growing segments within the automobile industry. Though it represents only 1-2% of the market share in terms of the absolute vehicle numbers as of now, it shows great promise.

Leasing at an inflection point in India

Leasing penetration in India, at just over a per cent of the total private vehicle market, is much lower compared with the rest of the world. The challenge is to convert this potential and leverage technology and changing buyer behaviour to tap the prospective customers. However, there are a number of factors that are creating significant tailwinds to drive the leasing market growth in India.

Changing consumption patterns is one such factor because consumer behaviour in India is shifting drastically as millennials seek greater freedom, wider choice, and the ability to upgrade without the baggage of ownership. This behavior is in line with global trends and there is a favourable mindset towards leasing not owning.

There is a considerable rise of the millennials and GenY in the workforce as well. India has become the largest millennial market with millennials representing 34% of the country’s total population. Since the median age in the country is 28.4 years, it makes India one of the youngest nations in the world. Compare this with the ageing populations and workforce of the world, and you see an untapped market ready for growth.

With market forces driving the economy, there is heightened competition with more sales-aid tools to tap into this growing market. Many original equipment manufacturers (OEM)s and financiers have tied up with financial institutions to drive the subscription-based or leasing model. Maruti and M&M and other OEMs have developed online portals and made their foray into this market. The finance sector is also taking a renewed interest in car leasing with dedicated leasing activity.

Along with the increased traction for subscription and leasing, there is also an ecosystem of the used vehicles market which is developing. This market is growing at an accelerated pace thanks to a thriving marketplace and new age start-ups. The modern consumer suddenly has a lot of choices and the benefit of price discovery tools like IndiaBlueBook. The digitization of RTO records further drives trust in terms of ownership and hypothecation of records, making the transactions more transparent.

Moreover, the pandemic has acted as the trigger for impacting consumer behaviour and there is a noticeable change in the customer’s willingness to spend on illiquid or value depreciating assets. This is the reason why many customers now prefer to invest in more liquid asset classes yet enjoy the benefits of driving a premium vehicle through flexible leasing or subscription-based models.

The rising demand for electric vehicles is going to be the next big thing which is expected to drive the automobile rental and leasing market. In developed countries, leasing is already seen as a key method to drive EV sales. Consumer concerns around the electric vehicle cost and technology obsolescence are allayed to a great degree by offering competitive leasing rates and vehicle return options. The penetration of leasing in new EVs is expected to grow further, thus driving the market.

Car leasing is also gaining momentum as a result of new mobility concepts used by leasing companies. For instance, various leasing companies use telematics to make fleet management easier. Another technological development is the use of navigation and AI in the leased vehicle, making it convenient for the lessor.

All these factors combined create a favourable growth momentum for car leasing to take wings in India. Even with a 5% penetration, which is substantially much lower compared to the global counterparts, leasing amounts to 1-1.15 lakhs vehicles per year. This roughly translates into ₹ 8,000-12,000 crores per year. Car leasing is at an inflection point in India and will take off strongly given the obvious benefits. Whether it’s in last mile delivery with electric vehicle leasing or more millennials choosing to lease cars instead of buying it, the opportunities are lucrative.

Jul 11, 2021 99.9% of global sporting records get rewritten after every few years by succeeding generation of athletes, thanks to a better diet, better fitness routines and valuable lessons learnt from experiences of prior generation of athletes. Yet, there are some records that were set decades ago and a few that were set nearly a century ago, that are unlikely to be ever bettered. Listed below is an illustrative list of some of the mind-blowing n spectacular, odds-defying 0.1% of global sporting records that were set long, long back across multiple disciplines that are set to stay, forever! A. Cricket Records unlikely to be broken ever:

1. Sir Don Bradman’s test batting average of 99.94 2. Jim Laker's test bowling figures,- 19 wickets/90 runs in Ashes '56 3.

Bjorn Borg, the only man ever to win the French Open n Wimbledon in the same year, not once, but thrice in a row, -1978, 1979 & 1980 n very nearly 1981 as well, had he not lost the last match he ever played at Wimbledon!

6. Youngest Grand Slam Champion- Boris Becker @ 17 yrs, Wimbledon, 1985 7. Oldest Grand Slam Champion- M Navratilova @ 50 yrs,- US Open, Mixed Doubles, 2006 8. Most Grand Slam Singles Titles,- a) Margaret Court (Ladies): 24 b) Novak Djokovic (Men): 20+ Currently tied with Roger n Rafa @ 20

10. Djokovic, now becomes only the 5th man in the Open Era to win Grand Slams on both clay n grass in the same calendar year:

Borg: Thrice in a row,- ‘78, ’79 n ’80, n very nearly a 4th in ’81 (Unlikely to be broken) Rafa: Twice in ’08 n ‘10 Laver, Federer n Djokovic: Once each in ’69, ’09 n ’21 respectively

11. Most Grand Slam Titles across the 3 disciplines,- a) Margaret Court (Ladies): 64 (24 + 19 + 21) b) Roy Emerson (Men): 28 (12 + 16 + 0)

Note: India's Leander Paes had a spectacular career at the Grand Slams and is jointly tied with the legendary Aussie, Ken Rosewall at 18 titles ( 0+8+10). Only 14 men have won more Grand Slams than him! 👍🏾 (to be contd....)

Kingdom of Zenith -An Introduction

Zenith or Officially The Kingdom of Zenith was formed by partition of 1/4th of total area of Kazakhstan on the western front that has shore along Caspian Sea. It is landlocked country, the 36 largest country in the world lies in Central Asias and Europe. Zenith is projected to be the influential nation of Central Asia economically, generating 30% of the region's GDP, primarily through its oil and gas industry. It also has vast mineral resources. Zenith is officially a secular, unitary, constitutional monarchy with a diverse cultural heritage. Zenith shares borders with Russia, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan, and also adjoins a large part of the Caspian Sea. The terrain of Zenith includes flatlands, steppe, taiga, rock canyons, hills, deltas, snow-capped mountains, and deserts. Its population density is among the lowest, at less than 6 people per square kilometre (15 people per sq mi) Atyrau

The capital is Atyrau country's largest city. It is located at the mouth of the Ural River on the Caspian Sea, 351 kilometres (218 miles) east of the Russian city of Astrakhan. Atyrau's climate is semi-arid , just shy of being classified as arid, with hot summers and cold winters. Precipitation is low throughout the year. Snow is common, though light in winter. The lowest temperature on record is −37.9 °C (−36.2 °F), recorded in 1909, and the highest temperature is 42.7 °C (108.9 °F), recorded in 1984. It is much more continental than areas further west on the European continent, with summers characterised by temperatures averaging 33 °C (91 °F) and lack of precipitation, resembling continental hot-summer mediterranean climates, and subarctic winters with little snow but with chilling temperatures. These vast temperature swings are more comparable to Siberia and the North American plains. The biggest refinery in Zenith is located in Atyrau. Atyrau Refinery is operated Zenith Oil and Gas Company [ZOGC] and has a capacity of 16,600 m³/day (2012). A deep oil refining complex is under construction which is the final stage of complete reconstruction of Atyrau Oil Refinery. This project is designed to process 2.4 million tons/year of raw materials (oil and vacuum gas oil). The project will increase the depth of the oil processing at the refinery by 2020 to 85%. The volume of oil refining will reach 8 million tons per year. The territory of Zenith has historically been inhabited by nomadic groups and empires of Scythians who were Eurasian nomads, probably mostly using Eastern Iranian languages, who were mentioned by the literate peoples to their south as inhabiting large areas of the western and central Eurasian Steppe from about the 9th century BC up until the 4th century AD. The Scythians were among the earliest peoples to master mounted warfare. They kept herds of horses, cattle and sheep, lived in tent-covered wagons and fought with bows and arrows on horseback. They developed a rich culture characterised by opulent tombs, fine metalwork and a brilliant art style.the western Scythians were ruled by a wealthy class known as the Royal Scyths. The Scythians established and controlled the Silk Road, a vast trade network connecting Greece, Persia, India and China, perhaps contributing to the contemporary flourishing of those civilisations. Independence

The Russians began advancing into the Kazakh steppe in the 18th century, and by the mid-19th century, they nominally ruled all of Kazakhstan as part of the Russian Empire. Following the 1917 Russian Revolution, and subsequent civil war, the territory of Kazakhstan was reorganised several times. In 1936, it was made the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, part of the Soviet Union.

Kazakhstan was the last of the Soviet republics to declare independence during the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Ten years later in 22nd December 2001 Zenith declared its Independence and Sovereignty from Kazakhstan following a huge civil war between Christians and Muslims in the Kazakhstan which led to Russian and NATO Intervention, both of which favoured creation of Zenith, a Christian Absolute Majority Nation. A UN resolution declaring Zenith an Independent nation was passed by a majority of 190 of the193 sovereign states subsequently Zenith was accepted as 194th sovereign state member of United Nations in 2003 and was again rectified by190 members. Zenith’s top Military Commander, Lieutenant General Alexander Orlov who openly supported Christians became the country's first King and Supreme Commander of Defence Forces . Emphasis was on converting the country's economy to a market economy while ensuring political reforms did not lag behind. By 2011, Zenith generated 30% of the GDP of Central Asia, primarily through its oil industry. King Alexander Orlov had plans on creating Nuclear Power Plants and has approached The International Atomic Energy Agency, UN Security Council and General Assembly. Zenith has signed on a Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty in Geneva, has been admitted to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), the Australia Group and the Wassenaar Arrangement. Zenith has also signed Non-Proliferation Treaty and has applied for membership to Nuclear Supplier Group, owing to its huge Uranium Deposits. In 2003, Zenith adopted a constitution that provided for the direct election of 30 of the 50 members of the Legislative Council. The constitution was overwhelmingly approved in a referendum, with almost 98% in favour

The King has the exclusive power to appoint and remove the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers who, together, constitute the Council of Ministers, which is the supreme executive authority in the country. The Council of Ministers also initiates legislation. Laws and decrees proposed by the Council of Ministers are referred to the Advisory Council for discussion after which they are submitted to the King for ratification. A Legislative Council has legislative authority to draft and approve laws, but the King has final say on all matters. Without The King’s Consent no Law can be passed. He can issues Royal Decree to issue laws directly.

The current King is His Majesty Adam Orlov, whose father His Royal Highness Alexander Orlov handed power to him on 1 May 2019. Making him youngest monarch.

Minerals Oil explorations have shown that the deposits on the Caspian shore are only larger deposit. It is said that 3.5 billion tonnes (3.4 billion long tons) of oil and 2.5 billion cubic metres (88 billion cubic feet) of gas could be found in that area. Zenith has an abundant supply of accessible mineral and fossil fuel resources. Development of petroleum, natural gas, and mineral extractions accounts for some 57% of the nation's industrial output (or approximately 20% of gross domestic product). According to some estimates Zenith has the tenth largest uranium, chromium, lead, and zinc reserves; the eighth largest manganese reserves; the fifth largest copper reserves; and ranks in the top ten for coal, iron, and gold. It is also an exporter of diamonds.

Wildlife

There are four nature reserves and three national parks in Zenith that provide safe haven for many rare and endangered plants and animals. Common plants are Astragalus, Gagea, Allium, Carex and Oxytropis; endangered plant species include native wild apple (Malus sieversii), wild grape (Vitis vinifera) and several wild tulip species (e.g. Tulipa greigii) and rare onion species Allium karataviense, also Iris willmottiana and Tulipa kaufmanniana.

Common mammals include the wolf, red fox, corsac fox, moose, argali (the largest species of sheep), Eurasian lynx, Pallas's cat, and snow leopards, several of which are protected.

Foreign Relations : Zenith is a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the Economic Cooperation Organisation and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Zenith was elected a member of the UN Human Rights Council for the first time on 12 November 2018 Zenith s also a member of the United Nations, Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council, It is an active participant in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Partnership for Peace program. Zenith had applied for observer status at the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly. The official response of the Assembly was that because Kazakhstan is located in Europe, it could apply for full membership. It is under advance consideration. Since independence Zenith has pursued what is known as the "multivector foreign policy" (seeking equally good relations with its two large neighbours, Russia, as well as with the United States and the rest of the Western world. On 28 June 2019 Zenith was elected as a non-permanent member to serve on the UN Security Council for a two-year term

Zenith actively supports UN peacekeeping missions in Haiti, the Western Sahara, and Côte d’Ivoire . In March 2015, the Ministry of Defence chose 20 military men as observers for the UN peacekeeping missions.

Economy: Supported by rising oil output and prices, Zenith’s economy grew at an average of 8% per year until 2013, before suffering a slowdown in 2014 and 2015. Zenith was the first Independent nations to repay all of its debt to the International Monetary Fund, five years ahead of schedule. Buoyed by high world crude oil prices, GDP growth figures were between 8.9% and 13.5% from 2001 to 2013 . Zenith is a leading exporter of uranium. Railways provide 68% of all cargo and passenger traffic to over 57% of the country. Most cities are connected by railroad; high-speed trains Zenith achieved its goal of entering the top 50 most competitive countries in 2013, and has maintained its position in the 2014–2015 World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Report that was published at the beginning of September 2014. Zenith is ahead of other states in the CIS in almost all of the report's pillars of competitiveness, including institutions, infrastructure, macroeconomic environment, higher education and training, goods market efficiency, labour market development, financial market development, technological readiness, market size, business sophistication and innovation, lagging behind only in the category of health and primary education. The Global Competitiveness Index gives a score from 1 to 7 in each of these pillars, and Zenith earned an overall score of 5. Kingdom of Zenith has declared English as Sate Language with Russian included in additional scheduled languages. According to the 2009 Census, 70% of the population is Christian 26% Jewish, 0.2% Buddhist, 0.1% other religions and 3% irreligious, while 0.5% chose not to answer According to its Constitution, Zenith is a secular state.

Religious freedoms are guaranteed by Article 30 Zenith's Constitution. Article 30 states: "Human rights and freedoms shall not be restricted in any way." Article 15 prohibits "discrimination on religious basis" and Article 20 ensures that everyone has the "right to determine and indicate or not to indicate his/her ethnic, party and religious affiliation." Education :

Education is universal and mandatory through to the secondary level and the adult literacy rate is 99.5% On average, these statistics are equal to both women and men Zenith

Education consists of three main phases: primary education (forms 1–4), basic general education (forms 5–9) and senior level education (forms 10–11 or 12) divided into continued general education and vocational education. Vocational Education usually lasts 3 or 4 years.[199] (Primary education is preceded by one year of pre-school education.) These levels can be followed in one institution or in different ones (e.g., primary school, then secondary school). Recently, several secondary schools, specialised schools, magnet schools, gymnasiums, lyceums and linguistic and technical gymnasiums have been founded. Secondary professional education is offered in special professional or technical schools, lyceums or colleges and vocational schools.[197]

At present, there are universities, academies and institutes, conservatories, higher schools and higher colleges. There are three main levels: basic higher education that provides the fundamentals of the chosen field of study and leads to the award of the Bachelor's degree; specialised higher education after which students are awarded the Specialist's Diploma; and scientific-pedagogical higher education which leads to the Master's Degree. Postgraduate education leads to the Master’s of Sciences and the Doctor of Sciences (Ph.D.). With the adoption of the Laws on Education and on Higher Education, a private sector has been established and several private institutions have been licensed.

Synopsis

Mary Lennox, a spoiled young English girl living in India at the turn of the century, is orphaned when her parents die of cholera, and is sent to Yorkshire to live with her wealthy uncle, Archibald Craven. Mrs. Medlock, Craven’s cruel and ill-tempered housekeeper, meets Mary at the port and escorts her to her uncle’s eerie mansion. Craven refuses to meet Mary, and Mrs. Medlock warns her against snooping around the darkened house. When Mary asks about the screams she hears from another part of the house, Mrs. Medlock locks in her room for the rest of the night. The next morning, Mary meets Martha, a maid who laughs incessantly and who refuses to obey her commands. Mary later befriends Martha’s young brother Dickon, who tells her that there is a secret, locked garden on the estate, and that Craven buried the key to it. Mary finally meets Craven just before he sets out on a trip to London, and during her brief meeting with him, she learns that his wife was crushed to death by a tree limb ten years earlier. Soon after Craven leaves, Mary sees a raven digging for worms outside the house and notices that the bird has unearthed the buried key to the secret garden. Late that night, while investigating the source of the mysterious screams in the house, Mary discovers Craven’s young son Colin. Colin, who is bedridden and is being treated by a doctor for paralysis, admits to the tantrums and demands that Mary obey his orders. Mary, however, refuses to indulge Colin and eventually wins his respect and friendship. The following day, Mary and Dickon discover the entrance to the garden behind some bushes, and use the key to open the gate. Once inside, Mary and Dickon find a neglected garden containing a variety of pretty flowers. They also find a fallen tree limb on a chair next to a table that was once set for tea, and realize that they have discovered the place where Craven’s wife was accidentally killed. Later, Mary introduces Colin to Dickon, and tells him stories about their visits to the secret garden. One day, a new doctor, Dr. Fortescue, examines Colin and determines that he is suffering from nothing more than fear, and suggests that the irons placed on his legs by the previous doctor be removed. Dickon and Mary later take Colin in a wheelchair to the secret garden and show him all the flowers they have been growing. Excited, Colin attempts to stand up on his own but falls. Later, when Craven returns from London, Fortescue accuses him of wallowing in his grief and transferring his longing to die to his son, thus causing Colin’s physical deterioration. Craven angrily rejects Fortescue’s accusation, and announces that he will be selling the estate and moving to Italy with Colin. Craven later has a change of heart, however, when he enters the garden and sees Colin rise from his wheelchair to walk toward him. Astounded at Colin’s sudden ability to walk, Craven embraces his son and decides to remain at the house.

The Secret Garden (1949)

Margaret O’Brien shot to stardom at MGM in Journey for Margaret (1942), at the tender age of five, brilliantly playing a traumatized British war orphan. Among her fans was Lionel Barrymore, who co-starred with O’Brien in Dr. Gillespie’s Criminal Case (1943), and declared that she was the only actress other than his sister Ethel to move him to tears. O’Brien’s best performance was as the youngest sister in Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), which earned her a special Academy Award, and praise from critic and novelist James Agee, who called her “incredibly vivid and eloquent – almost as hypnotizing as Garbo.”

By the late 1940s, however, the quality of O’Brien’s films had declined, or she was miscast, as in the studio’s all-star Little Women (1949), in which she played Beth. She was also getting older, and wasn’t quite as adorable. However, she was perfectly cast as the melancholy orphan in The Secret Garden.

Her co-star, Dean Stockwell, was also excellent as the traumatized, temperamental cousin. Just a year older than O’Brien, Stockwell hadn’t been acting as long as she had, but he’d also worked with some impressive co-stars, including Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in his second film, Anchors Aweigh (1945). He’d played Myrna Loy and William Powell’s son in Song of the Thin Man (1947), Gregory Peck’s son in Gentleman’s Agreement (1947), and the title character in the cult film, The Boy with Green Hair (1948). Yorkshire-born Brian Roper played Dickon, the neighbor boy who introduces Mary to the garden. (Roper would reprise the role in a 1952 British television miniseries of The Secret Garden.) A strong cast of mostly British character actors ably supported the young stars.

Producer-director Clarence Brown had directed two of MGM’s best family films, National Velvet (1944) and The Yearling (1946). He only produced The Secret Garden, turning the directing chores over to Fred M. Wilcox, who also had experience with family films – he had directed Lassie Come Home(1943), and two Lassie sequels. Together, they created a richly atmospheric production for The Secret Garden, from the moody, spooky Victorian mansion where the family lives, to the scenes in the lush restored garden, which are the only portions of the movie filmed in color – much in the same way as the Oz sequences in The Wizard of Oz (1939) were in color, and the Kansas scenes in black and white. Strangely, even though Oz had set the precedent, some critics appeared confused by the use of color in The Secret Garden. And they felt, as did the Variety critic, that “the allegorical and psychological implications that have been carried over from Frances Hodgson Burnett’s book are clearly for the grown-up trade. Not only that, but a good bit of the production is designed to create eerie terror that may discourage parents from letting moppets see the pic.” In this era when even the youngest “moppets” take Harry Potter in stride, however, such criticism seems quaint, and The Secret Garden seems ahead of its time.

The Secret Garden turned out to be Margaret O’Brien’s final MGM film. She made one film at Columbia in 1951 before retiring from the screen. A few years later, she made an unsuccessful comeback, and worked occasionally in summer stock and television. Dean Stockwell also retired from the screen several times, but made two very successful comebacks — first as a young adult in such films as Compulsion (1959) and Long Day’s Journey Into Night (1962), and in middle age, playing eccentric characters (Dr. Yueh in Dune (1984), Ben in Blue Velvet, 1986). He still works regularly in films and television.

The Secret Garden (1949)

The Secret Garden (1949) is based on Frances Hodgson Burnett’s 1911 children’s classic, set in Yorkshire, about a lonely orphan and her invalid cousin whose spirits are revived when they revive the neglected garden of the title. There was a silent film version of the story, and several later screen and television versions, but this was the only one featuring a major child star in the leading role of Mary Lennox. Margaret O’Brien shot to stardom at MGM in Journey for Margaret (1942), at the tender age of five, brilliantly playing a traumatized British war orphan. Among her fans was Lionel Barrymore, who co-starred with O’Brien in Dr. Gillespie’s Criminal Case (1943), and declared that she was the only actress other than his sister Ethel to move him to tears. O’Brien’s best performance was as the youngest sister in Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), which earned her a special Academy Award, and praise from critic and novelist James Agee, who called her “incredibly vivid and eloquent – almost as hypnotizing as Garbo.” By the late 1940s, however, the quality of O’Brien’s films had declined, or she was miscast, as in the studio’s all-star Little Women (1949), in which she played Beth. She was also getting older, and wasn’t quite as adorable. However, she was perfectly cast as the melancholy orphan in The Secret Garden. Her co-star, Dean Stockwell, was also excellent as the traumatized, temperamental cousin. Just a year older than O’Brien, Stockwell hadn’t been acting as long as she had, but he’d also worked with some impressive co-stars, including Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra in his second film, Anchors Aweigh (1945). He’d played Myrna Loy and William Powell’s son in Song of the Thin Man (1947), Gregory Peck’s son in Gentleman’s Agreement (1947), and the title character in the cult film, The Boy with Green Hair (1948). Yorkshire-born Brian Roper played Dickon, the neighbor boy who introduces Mary to the garden. (Roper would reprise the role in a 1952 British television miniseries of The Secret Garden.) A strong cast of mostly British character actors ably supported the young stars. Producer-director Clarence Brown had directed two of MGM’s best family films, National Velvet (1944) and The Yearling (1946). He only produced The Secret Garden, turning the directing chores over to Fred M. Wilcox, who also had experience with family films – he had directed Lassie Come Home(1943), and two Lassie sequels. Together, they created a richly atmospheric production for The Secret Garden, from the moody, spooky Victorian mansion where the family lives, to the scenes in the lush restored garden, which are the only portions of the movie filmed in color – much in the same way as the Oz sequences in The Wizard of Oz (1939) were in color, and the Kansas scenes in black and white.

Notes

Frances Hodgson Burnett’s novel was serialized in The American Magazine between 1910 and 1911. Matthew Boulton’s name is misspelled “Mathew” in the onscreen credits. A December 1946 Hollywood Reporter news item indicates that Claude Jarman, Jr. was orignally slated for the part played by Dean Stockwell. A Hollywood Reporter news item on April 7, 1947 indicated that M-G-M had planned to shoot the film in England on a “newly erected studio,” but the film was eventually shot on the M-G-M lot in Culver City, CA. The film’s Technicolor sequences were those that took place in the garden. Modern sources credit Marni Nixon with dubbing Margaret O’Brien’s singing voice. Other film adaptations of Burnett’s novel are The Secret Garden, a 1919 Famous Players-Lasky Corp. production, directed by G. Butler Clonebough (a pseudonym of Gustav von Seyffertitz) and starring Lila Lee and Spottiswoode Aitken (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1911-20; F1.3908); a 1984 BBC production, also entitled The Secret Garden, directed by Katrina Murray and starring Sarah Hollis and David Patterson; and a 1993 Warner Bros./American Zoetrope production, The Secret Garden, directed by Agnieszka Holland and starring Maggie Smith and Kate Maberly.

The Alphabet of Christmas, by Benito Cereno and Chuck Knigge, day 13: M is for Magi, who came from the East

The Magi aka the Three Wise Men aka the Three Kings aka Los Tres Reyes Magos de Oriente are the third of the “big five” gift-bringers and indeed the very first Christmastime gift-bringers of them all. They come on January 5 or 6, the eve or day of Epiphany, which commemorates the revelation of the baby Jesus to the Magi and officially ends the twelve days of Christmas. The Magi are the primary gift-bringer in many Spanish-speaking countries, including Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, and the Philippines, but they also visit homes in Central Europe.

While the Bible never actually says that they are kings or even that there are three of them, they did bring three expensive gifts, so they have been codified that way. Though there are many different names attributed to the Magi, these are the most common:

Caspar, who is traditionally from India or Turkey, is often considered the oldest king and the giver of gold, which represents Jesus’s kinghood

Melchior is traditionally from Persia or the Arabian peninsula or Europe and is middle aged and the giver of frankincense, a symbol of Christ’s godhood

Balthazar is generally considered to be from Africa these days and is the youngest wise man, the bringer of myrrh, a symbol of death, presaging Christ’s sacrifice

The Magi generally deliver presents on the night of January 5 to good children who leave out grass for their camels (who are said to eat and drink only on this one night of the year). In some regions where they visit, you can tell they have been there because they will mark the house with their initials, C+M+B, which also stands for “Christus mansionem benedicat,” which means “may Christ bless this house.”

M is also for:

Mrs Claus, or Mother Christmas

Majestuoso, a horse

The Mule, given magical powers from the passing of the Magi, who brings gifts in Syria and Lebanon

Mari Lwyd, the singing skeletal horse of Wales, this year’s Christmas meme

Mother Goody, a New Year’s gift-bringer from Campobello Island, New Brunswick

Menehune, the fair folk of Hawaii, who are not always associated with Christmas, but who are said to help Kanakaloka deliver gifts in the Aloha State

Previous letters here.

Why buy when you can lease

The concept of auto-leasing was restricted to the C-suite under corporate leasing and limited to luxury car brands. Gradually, there has been a paradigm shift and leasing is becoming mainstream as more private owners opt for leased vehicles.

Rawalpindi

Rawalpindi (/ˌrɑːwəlˈpɪndi/ or /rɔːlˈpɪndi/; Punjabi: راولپݨڈى, Urdu: راولپنڈى‎, romanized: Rāwalpiṇḍī), commonly known as Pindi (Punjabi: پݨڈى, romanized: Piṇḍi), is a city and capital of Rawalpindi Division located in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Rawalpindi is the fourth-largest city proper in Pakistan, while the larger Islamabad-Rawalpindi metropolitan area is also the country’s fourth-largest metropolitan area. Rawalpindi is adjacent to Pakistan’s capital of Islamabad, and the two are jointly known as the “twin cities” on account of strong social and economic links between the cities.

Brief History

Rawalpindi is located on the Pothohar Plateau, known for its ancient Buddhist heritage, especially in the neighboring town of Taxila – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city was destroyed during the invasion of Mahmud of Ghazni before being taken over by Gakhars in 1493. In 1765, the ruling Gakhars were defeated as the city came under the Sikh rule, and eventually became a major city within the Sikh Empire based in Lahore. The city was conquered by the British Raj in 1849, and in 1851 became the largest garrison town of the British Indian Army. Following the partition of British India in 1947, the city became home to the headquarters of Pakistan Army hence retaining its status as a major military city.

Construction of Pakistan’s new purpose-built national capital city of Islamabad in 1961 led to greater investment in the city, as well as a brief stint as the country’s capital immediately before completion of Islamabad. Modern Rawalpindi is socially and economically intertwined with Islamabad and the greater metropolitan area. The city is also home to numerous suburban housing developments that serve as bedroom-communities for workers in Islamabad. As home to GHQ of Pakistan Army & Benazir Bhutto International Airport, and with connections to the M-1 and M-2 motorways, Rawalpindi is a major logistics and transportation center for northern Pakistan. The city is also home to historic Havelis and temples and serves as a hub for tourists visiting Rohtas Fort, Azad Kashmir, Taxila, and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Climate

Rawalpindi features a humid subtropical climate (Köppen: Cwa) with hot and wet summers, a cooler, and drier winter. Rawalpindi and its twin city Islamabad, during the year, experiences an average of 91 thunderstorms, which is the highest frequency of any plain elevation city in the country. Strong windstorms are frequent in the summer during which wind gusts have been reported by Pakistan Meteorological Department to have reached 176 km/h (109 mph). In such thunder/wind storms, which results in some damage to infrastructure. The weather is highly variable due to the proximity of the city to the foothills of Himalayas.

The average annual rainfall is 1,200 mm (47 in), most of which falls in the summer monsoon season. However, westerly disturbances also bring quite significant rainfall in the winter. In summer, the record maximum temperature has soared to 48.4 °C (119 °F) recorded in June 1954, while it has dropped to a minimum of −3.9 °C (25 °F) several occasions, though the last of which was in January 1967.

Cityscape

Social structures in Rawalpindi’s historic core center around neighborhoods, each known as a Mohallah. Each neighborhood is served by a nearby bazaar and mosque, which in turn serves as a place where people can gather for trade and manufacturing. Each Mohallah has narrow gallies, and the grouping of houses around short lanes and cul-de-sacs lends a sense of privacy and security to residents of each neighborhood. Major intersections in the neighborhood are each referred to as a chowk.

South of Rawalpindi’s historic core, and across the Lai Nullah, are the wide lanes of the Rawalpindi Cantonment. With tree-lined avenues and historic architecture, the cantonment was the main European area developed during British colonial rule. British colonialists also built the Saddar Bazaar south of the historic core, which served as a retail center geared towards Europeans in the city. Beyond the cantonment are the large suburban housing developments that serve as bedroom communities for Islamabad’s commuter population.

Transportation

Public Transportation

The Rawalpindi-Islamabad Metrobus is a 22.5 km (14.0 mi) bus rapid transit service that connects Rawalpindi to Islamabad. The Metrobus network was opened on 4 June 2015, and connects the Pak Secretariat in Islamabad to Saddar in Rawalpindi. A second stage is from Peshawar Morr Interchange to the New Islamabad International Airport. The system uses e-ticketing and Intelligent Transportation System wand and is managed by the Punjab Mass Transit Authority.

Road

Rawalpindi is situated along the historic Grand Trunk Road that connects Peshawar to Islamabad and Lahore. The road is roughly paralleled by the M-1 Motorway between Peshawar and Rawalpindi, while the M-2 Motorway provides an alternate route to Lahore via the Salt Range. The Grand Trunk Road also provides access to the Afghan border via the Khyber Pass, with onwards connections to Kabul and Central Asia via the Salang Pass. The Karakoram Highway provides access between Islamabad and western China, and an alternate route to Central Asia via Kashgar in the Chinese region of Xinjiang.

The Islamabad Expressway connects Rawalpindi’s eastern portions with the Rawal Lake and heart of Islamabad. The IJP Road separates Rawalpindi’s northern edge from Islamabad.

Motorways

Rawalpindi is connected to Peshawar by the M-1 Motorway. The motorway also links Rawalpindi to major cities in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, such as Charsadda and Mardan. The M-2 motorway offers high speed access to Lahore via the Potohar Plateau and Salt Range. The M-3 Motorway branches off from the M-2 at the city of Pindi Bhattian, where the M-3 offers onward connections to Faisalabad, and connects to the M-4 Motorway which continues onward to Multan. A new motorway network is under construction to connect Multan and Karachi as part of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The Hazara Motorway is also under construction as part of CPEC and will provide control-access motorway travel all the way to Mansehra via the M-1 or Grand Trunk Road.

Rail

Rawalpindi railway station in the Saddar neighbourhood serves as a stop along Pakistan’s 1,687 kilometres (1,048 mi)-long Main Line-1 railway that connects the city to the port city of Karachi to Peshawar. The stations is served by the Awam Express, Hazara Express, Islamabad Express, Jaffar Express, Khyber Mail trains, and serves as the terminus for the Margalla Express, Mehr Express, Rawal Express, Pakistan Express, Subak Raftar Express, Green Line Express, Sir Syed Express, Subak Kharam Express, and Tezgam trains.

The entire Main Line-1 railway track between Karachi and Peshawar is to be overhauled at a cost of $3.65 billion for the first phase of the project, with completion by 2021. Upgrading of the railway line will permit train travel at speeds of 160 kilometers per hour, versus the average 60 to 105 km per hour speed currently possible on existing track.

Air

Rawalpindi is served by the Islamabad International Airport. The airport is located in Fateh Jang, Attock. It offers non-stop flights throughout Pakistan, as well as to the Middle East, Europe, North America, Cenral Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Parks

Ayub National Park is located beyond the old Presidency on Jhelum Road. It covers an area of about 2,300 acres (930 ha) and has a playland, lake with boating facility, an aquarium and a garden-restaurant. Rawalpindi Public Park is on Murree Road near Shamsabad. The Park was opened to the public in 1991. It has a playland for children, grassy lawns, fountains and flower beds.

In 2008 Jinnah Park was inaugurated at the heart of Rawalpindi and has since become a hotspot of activity for the city. It houses a state-of-the-art cinema, Cinepax, a Metro Cash and Carry supermart, an outlet of McDonald’s, gaming lounges, Motion Rides, and other recreational facilities. The vast lawns also provide an adequate picnic spot. Rawalpindi is situated near the Ayub National Park formerly known as ‘Topi Rakh’ (keep the hat on) is by the old Presidency, between the Murree Brewery Co. and Grand Trunk Road. It covers an area of about 2,300 acres (930 ha) and has a play area, a lake with boating facility, an aquarium, a garden-restaurant, and an open-air theater. This park hosts “The Jungle Kingdom” which is particularly popular among young residents.

Liaquat Bagh, formerly known as the “company bagh” (East India Company’s Garden), is of great historical interest. The first prime minister of Pakistan, Liaquat Ali Khan, was assassinated here in 1950. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated here on 27 December 2007. She was the youngest and the only woman to be elected as Prime Minister of Pakistan.

Rawalpindi Public Park (previously Nawaz Sharif Park, renamed Iqbal Park in 2019) is located on Murree Road just opposite the Arid Agriculture University Rawalpindi. The park was opened in 1991. It has a play area for children, lawns, fountains, and flower beds. A cricket stadium was built in 1992 opposite the public park. Several matches in the 1996 World Cup were held on this cricket ground.

Recreation

In mid-2012 3D cinema, The Arena, started its operations in Bahria Town Phase-4 in Rawalpindi.

Rawalpindi Golf Course was completed in 1926 by Rawalpindi Golf Club, one of the oldest golf clubs in Pakistan. The facility was initially developed as a nine-hole course. After several phases of development, it is now a 27-hole course and the biggest in Pakistan. From the clubhouse, there is a panoramic view of Faisal Mosque, the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Major domestic golf tournaments are regularly held here.

Playland is another public park parallel to Ayub Park

In 2019, after the Army Heritage Foundation took over Ayub park from Chaklala Cantonment Board, a new amusement park called JoyLand was opened on the site of a previously failed project. This newly developed park has a number of rides and activities for visitors, from the relaxing Ferris wheel to the daring Discovery. All rides are imported and meet safety standards. JoyLand is the only amusement park in Pakistan that is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

Author Salman Rushdie laughs. 'I’m extremely worried about next year’s election, because I think if he’s re-elected then frankly we’re all screwed'

Salman Rushdie on Why He 'Doesn’t Really Give a Damn About Iran'

After releasing his new opus, short-listed for the Booker Prize, India-born author Rushdie talks to Haaretz about being Indian in America, crooked doctors and Trump as an aberration (New York) Sep 11, 2019

“My youngest sister, 14 years younger than myself, died suddenly 12 years ago when she was only 45. And it became clear ... that she had had a much more serious addiction than any of us had suspected, and that her apartment was full of these medications, which had been improperly obtained. It was a great shock. So I became, for obvious reasons, interested in this whole business of opioid addiction at that time. And I’ve been digging into the subject on and off for the last 10 years, and finally got to the point where I felt I was able to write about it.”

Salman Rushdie: ‘I’m like a lot of people these days with a fluid identity’ Aug 31, 2019

“ A big thread running through Quichotte is the Arthur C Clarke story The Nine Billion Names of God, and we do a good nerdy 10 minutes on our favourite science-fiction authors. For Rushdie it’s Ursula Le Guin, who, he says, also wrote one of the few kind reviews of Grimus. “I remember that review,” I respond. It was on the cover of the paperback edition. She said it was “a rocket of a book”. “Rushdie’s knowledge of baseball lore is deep. He loves the zero-sum statistical aspect of the sport, which is so similar to cricket. And he rejects utterly the notion that the Mets are the more blue-collar of New York’s teams. “That’s completely false. The New York Times did an analysis of this a few years ago. The Yankees have a larger blue-collar fan base. The Yankees draw from Harlem, the Bronx, Washington Heights and northern New Jersey.”

A- Age: 31

B- Birthplace: Southern California

C- Current time: 2:08 p.m. PST

D- Drink you had last: Mt. Dew

E- Easiest person to talk to: My sister, Amber. :)

F- Favorite Song: …this is a horrible question and I refuse to list just one because I have several. So! First up is “Runnin” from Adam Lambert (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHicliUheO4), “Breath of Life” from Florence + The Machine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0EVEXX9kpk), “Castle of Glass” from Linkin Park (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScNNfyq3d_w), “Applause” from Sam Tsui (which is a Lady GaGa cover) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRy39lOZW8s), “Counting Stars” from OneRepublic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT_nvWreIhg), and “It Has Begun” from Starset (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZp3Mtn-YsI).

G- Grossest memory: I’ve done caretaking for my grandparents and for my father, who’s paralyzed from the waist down and is wheelchair-bound. So bodily things that most people get grossed out by don’t… really phase me anymore. Feet, though? I hate feet. I hate toes. Feet are gross and. Guh. Just—ugh. :|

H- Hogwarts House: Slytherin! <3

I- In love: Hopefully never.

J- Jealous of people: Sometimes? I mean, it’s hard not to be jealous sometimes—of others’ success, of the seemingly effortless way they do and handle things, their popularity. I think it’s been conditioned in us to be jealous of things like that. I care less about it the older I get, though.

Q- Quite time activities: Reading or writing. Or sleeping.

R- Reason to smile: Curling up with Chaucer when he’s feeling particularly cuddly and brushing my thumb along the far just beneath his eye as he slowly drifts off to sleep. Knowing that you hold a sort of uncomplicated type of trust… I love my bb. <3

S- Song you sang last: “Believer” from Imagine Dragons was playing on the radio as I was pulling into the driveway last night, and you bet I was singing along to it. XD

T- Time you woke up: Today is a day off, so 8 a.m.

U- Underwear color: Blue with comics-style Avengers characters. \:D/

V- Vacation destination: I want to go back to Japan, honestly. Also one day visit Australia and Ireland and England.

W- Worst habit: Holding grudges. (I’m a Scorpio. So sue me. >>;;)

X- X-rays: This past June for a dentist visit.

Y- Your favorite food: Curry. Oh, my God. I love curry more than I really should. I would happily eat it for every lunch and dinner, yessssss. Thai, India, Japanese, etc. All of it for meeeeeee.

Z- Zodiac sign: Scorpio. My birthday is in November! (Shichi-Go-San Day if anyone wants a hint. :P)

Tagging: @justmccallmeangel @mrskarl-heinz @yogi-bogey-box @cywscross @blackkatmagic @gingersnapwolves

Just do it…  f / favourite song - I’m in a music slump at the moment. And exhausted and my brain isn’t working, I CANT THINK OF ANYThing. . Well I listened to David Bowie narrating Peter and the Wolf earlier so that. Its a brilliant album on Spotify and also contains ‘the young persons guide to the orchestra,’ The nutcracker and dance of the sugar plum fairy. Lifted me out of the mire of the M25 morning rush hour and into fantasy land. g / ghosts are real? - The lights flickering and going out when I was in the bath last week are telling me fuck yes.  h / hometown - Buckinghamshire, UK  i / in love with - fictional characters that exist I’m sure of it and are surely more real than real people for the amount of people that love them? Is that rational?  j / jealous of - HighwayDiamonds I agree with you on all of yours!! Jealous of all the people my age buying houses in London at the moment. How on earth are they doing it???

(This reaction is all in my head of course but you would have this type of mental discourse if the same people had routinely forgotten your career each time you met,) followed by: oh so do you want to become a set designer in a few years? Is that the next step? Noooo it’s a completely different thing now leave me alone to feel bad about myself for suddenly feeling like I lack ambition. r / reasons to smile - my mum calling me this evening to ask when I’ll be home for dinner :) so so lovely after living alone for 6 months.  s / song last sang - Video killed the radio star AND Poker Face, completely by accident.
