Today again felt like three separate days! It also was quite action packed. We started the day with another delicious breakfast of dosas and Indian parathas. I tried to eat a little lighter since I definitely over ate the day before. Bobby leaned in and his stomach is definitely feeling better since he got to India since there is little to no cross contamination. We met up with my friend Stephanie who went to college with me and her husband Patrick. They had gotten in at 2 am after their trip to only be turned away because the hotel had overbooked! They were troopers though and ate breakfast at the hotel with us. We then got ready for the Haldi ceremony! And as usual fashion, the groom's family was late (an hour to be precise).

The Haldi ceremony is when family members rub turmeric on the bride and groom. In this ceremony, they had mustard oil, yogurt, and turmeric powder and each person had two little utensils with some sort of green leafy plant tied on to them. You are supposed to dip the leaves into the oil, yogurt, and then turmeric and touch the bride and groom on their feet, knees, shoulders, cheeks, and then the top of their heads. It's meant to be a ceremony that helps the couples fertility. They even let the guests partake and it was fun smearing it on Anna and Rahul! After each person has their turn with the leaves, they mix together the rest of the ingredients into a box and mixed it into a paste. The family then proceeded to smear it on the bride and grooms' faces. After that was done, the family began to sing and guests danced around. Rahul's family were all wearing these beautiful pieces of clothing in a deep mustard yellow color. Anna wasn't sure of the customs so we didn't dress up.

After the ceremony, we took an Uber into more of the center city to a mall called Select CITYWALK. We got a chance to meet up with our friends, Ishan and Namrata, a couple who we meet up every week in Seattle for trivia. Worlds colliding! I brought Stephanie and Patrick along with us and we went to a store called FabIndia to get some traditional clothes. Bobby got a long kurta in a copper orange and I got a salwar kameez in blue with orange accents. It was fun trying on other clothes! However I started feeling a little sick that I deduced later that it some dehydration. We went Punjab Grill that everyone raved about! I wasn't able to partake, but the highlights were the grilled paneer, the grilled chicken tikka, and the black daal. We had a lovely time meeting up with Ishan and Namrata but we had to leave the mall since it was getting close to rush hour on a Monday!

At the hotel I wasn't feeling so well, but rallied for the wedding! I change into my new Indian threads, which are amazingly comfortable, and go see what's going on with the bride. What I loved about this experience is that I had a backstage pass to all of the preparation for the bride. There were about 100 people at this wedding and the bride only had 20 on her side. She asked us to be a part of her wedding procession. We were supposed to start the wedding at 7, but as we learned quickly in India nothing goes to plan and you have to roll with it. Luckily, the groom thought ahead and rented a hotel room and filled it with liquor for folks to partake in while waiting. Indians love their whisky so that was definitely in attendance.

I got to peek into the bride's area where she got ready. There was a professional woman who was the lead who had 3 assistants. Some of the first women at work that I've seen! Anna's hair looked like it took hours. She had not one, but two fake pieces of hair. One to give a platform on top of her head to attach the veil and one to make her bun more voluminous. Around her bun there fresh flowers that were quite fragrant but I'm not sure what they were (I'm guessing jasmine). Her outfit was pretty simple to get on. It was a top and skirt separate, but the skirt was super heavy at about 20 pounds and there was so much structure underneath the dress that it could stand up on its own. On top of her henna she also had bright red and gold bangles that went up half of her forearm. The original tradition is to keep them on for 13 months, but most modern brides keep them on for 13 weeks instead. But Anna and Rahul have already been married for a year, so no need to prove her devotion to him. Additionally she had on a bracelet with long dangling pieces that almost look like bells. Anna was supposed to wave these pendant things over single women's heads to ensure that they get married soon, but I didn't see her actually do that. Lastly, Anna had to put on a veil. It was a pink tulle like material, but it had to be folded in such a way and pinned. I'm not sure of the significance, but apparently it's a big deal because it took 20 minutes and the head attendant did it twice. Once ready, it was hurry up and wait! Simultaneously there was a big drum show to entertain the groom's side of the family while the bride gets ready. I didn't see any of it since I was waiting for the bride to get ready.

Finally, around 8:30, they are ready for us. We go downstairs and they bring out a canopy made out of flowers. Anna's two sisters are up front to hold the front two corners, but there are also 6 more of us holding up the sides of the canopy. We then walk out to the rest of the crowd in our little procession to Christina Perry's "1,000 Years" from the Twilight soundtrack which I get a giggle out of since I know Anna is not a huge fan of that movie. The music quickly switches to an Indian love ballad and we approach Rahul on the stage. He's wearing white and has a red turban on. Once they make it to the stage, after a flurry of pictures of course, Anna needs "some friends on stage". Of course, being the Wellesley women we are, we get on stage. They turn us away and ask for the men. It turns out that they need guys to help lift Anna into the air while Rahul is being lifted to put flower garlands on each other.

As that ceremony goes on, the DJ is already spinning beats. One of Rahul's cousins really wants to dance, and of course Bobby is the first to say yes. They jump on the dance floor, and because they look like their having so much fun, others join in. Sadly our dance party was cut short because they started the religious ceremony. There was another stage where everyone has to take off their shoes. It was a gorgeous platform, it was green and there were real flowers hanging from the ceiling next to a chandelier. Anna's and Rahul's families were on stage and the priest was reciting a mix of Hindi and Sanskrit which Anna and her father had two repeat. Anna did a pretty good job and even the aunties and uncles we were standing nearby were impressed. There is also a small fire that they stoked with ghee and Anna's family poured other things into like puffed rice. In this ceremony, Anna made 7 promises to the groom and they walked around the fire 7 times. It was very cool to see, however, strangely no one can tell us what the 7 promises are after the fact. So you'll just have to know that it was a religious ceremony. The ceremony traditionally went in for 7 days, it was shortened to 7 hours, but they did the ceremony in about one hour.

During the religious ceremony, Rahul's youngest aunt gave us a hot tip. It turns out that there's a tradition where the bride's friends steal the groom's shoes and hold them ransom until he gives them what they want. Anna's sisters proceed to steal one, and us as Anna's friends stole the other. We didn't understand the tradition very well since it was second hand knowledge, but we knew there were spies everywhere since Rahul's side outnumbered us at least 2 to 1 if not 4 to 1! We all stand in a tight circle and take out our scarves and wrap them around our hands so people don't know who had the shoe. Then, we walked to different corners of the wedding area to hide it! The time finally comes around where the negotiating began. Anna's sisters cave quickly to $50 each. The Wellesley women drove a harder bargain. We weren't happy with just money, we wanted more. After fierce negotiations, we landed on a pretty good deal. First, Rahul will treat us to a nice thanksgiving dinner on Thursday in Goa. Secondly, he will visit each of Anna's friends in their cities within the next year (Seattle, LA, Philadelphia, and NYC). And lastly, as a kickback to our informant, we said that Rahul had to take his aunt to a nice spa day.

After the main ceremony, dancing resumed and we ate a hearty dinner of Indian food. But by this time it was 10 pm on a Monday and the wedding was dying down. The day was an incredible experience that I don't think I'll have one of again. I was so happy that we made the long trip halfway around the world to see one of my dear friends Anna get married.

Arvind Kejriwal Compares Manish Sisodia With Bhagat Singh, Congress Livid

The Congress hit out at Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal today for comparing those accused of corruption in connection with the liquor policy for the national capital to freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, saying it was unfortunate and a “cheap political act”.

Mr Dikshit also said Manish Sisodia should give evidence in support of the allegation raised by him that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attempted to poach AAP MLAs under “Operation Lotus” and asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to bring out the video-recordings once the investigation is concluded.

“It is very shameful that AAP ministers are being accused of corruption relating to the liquor policy. Those accused of corruption are being compared to Bhagat Singh, who inspires every Indian. It is very unfortunate and sad. Rarely has there been a cheap political act than this. We strongly condemn this,” Sandeep Dikshit told reporters.

He accused Arvind Kejriwal and his party of adopting all kinds of low tactics in politics and said they have now fallen to a new low by taking the name of Bhagat Singh along with those accused of corruption.

The statement should be withdrawn, Mr Dikshit said.

The former MP said Arvind Kejriwal used to say privatisation of anything amounts to corruption and yet, he handed over the entire liquor business in Delhi from the government to the private sector.

“Those who are involved in corruption create a lot of noise and drama and one should understand that the more noise one creates, the more is that person involved in corruption,” Mr Dikshit said.

He alleged that Delhi’s liquor policy was changed at a time when elections in Punjab and Uttarakhand were round the corner.

“If this policy was in public interest, why was it withdrawn? We expect the investigating agencies to act honestly,” the Congress leader said.

Referring to Mr Sisodia’s “Operation Lotus” allegation, he said the Deputy Chief Minister should give proof in support of the charge.

However, the problems faced by migrant workers continued to make it to the headlines with a migrant worker cycling from his workplace in Delhi to home in Bihar dying in UP's Saharanpur.

After opening the lid, we found 18 people inside," Traffic Police sub-inspector Amit Kumar Yadav told PTI.

Meanwhile, the Odisha government issued a standard operating procedure (SOP) for sending "guest workers" in the state to their home states by road or rail. The state government appointed nodal officers in charge of workers for different states and said the the prior approval of recipient states was necessary for sending back the stranded workers.

Modi holds review meeting on agricultural reforms, MSMEs

Prime Minister Narendra Modi deliberated on ways to reform the agriculture sector with emphasis on agriculture marketing, access of farmers to institutional credit and freeing the sector of various restrictions with appropriate backing of laws.

The government has maintained that the country's farm sector is functioning smoothly despite the COVID-19 lockdown and there will not be much impact on its growth in the current fiscal, unlike other sectors.

The pros and cons of bio-technological developments in crops or enhancement of productivity and reduction in input costs was also deliberated, an official statement said.

Concessional credit flow to strengthen agriculture infrastructure, special Kisan Credit Card saturation drive for PM-Kisan beneficiaries and facilitating inter and intra-state trade of agriculture produce to ensure fairest return to farmers were some of the other important areas covered, the statement said.

Developing eNAM or the National Agriculture Market into a "platform of platforms" to enable e-commerce was one of the important topics of discussion on Saturday.

The prime minister also held a meeting to discuss ways to strengthen the MSME sector.

Taxing Time

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/taxing-time/

Taxing Time

The state’s new excise policy may deliver a bruising blow to tourists.

Rajasthan’s new excise policy for 2020-21, which has proposed a massive hike in liquor licence fees, has led to a lot of glum faces in the state’s hotel and tourism industry. The Ashok Gehlot government is looking at it as a means to tide over the massive shortfall in the state’s share in central taxes (estimated to go down by Rs 10,072 crore to Rs 36,039 crore), but along with the 20 per cent hike in liquor prices last year, the hospitality industry says the new policy will lead to another washout tourist season.

On another level, the new excise policy also comes with target.

(Rs 12,500 crore for 2020-21, up Rs 1,500 crore year on year) and penalties (for failing quarterly sales targets). Liquor vend owners gave a call for a boycott of the open e-auction, forcing the government to issue advertisements on February 24 to encourage bidding. Industry insiders say with liquor in Rajasthan now 40 per cent costlier than, say, neighbouring Haryana, bootlegging and inter-state smuggling are set to rise, whereas sellers will stop issuing bills, which will, in turn, hit VAT collections, and hotels selling liquor without licence will mushroom.

Other peeves of the tourism industry include the lack of permits to sell draught beer and the 30-plus clearances to sell hard liquor at restaurants. Rajasthan, which shares borders with Punjab, Haryana, UP, MP and Gujarat, has also seen a spurt in liquor smuggling in the past decade. In some areas, bootleggers now deliver liquor at home at half the rate charged at the vends.

Excise officials say they have made preparations to ensure that only bottles bearing barcodes are sold though PoS machines. This, they say, will make it tough for sellers to evade taxes or indulge in selling smuggled liquor. But stakeholders feel the new excise policy unfairly targets legal licence holders and insist that had the government engaged with them, they could have offered alternative suggestions to mobilise more revenues.

Curse of “Chitta” eating up land of rivers?

The land of Punjab is proud to be the land of gurus and now this land is fast turning into a land of drinkers. The likes of martyrs Bhagat Singh, Udham Singh who was part of the country’s independence, the valiant warriors of this same Punjab. Sikandar, who won all the country, had also gone empty-handed from Punjab. It is this land, also that Guru Ji Baba Ram Rahim Ji tried to protect and tamed most youths from getting into this addiction. Mass awareness drives and de-addiction drives along with sports and even employment opportunities through MSG products. But now that he is not around, the menace is once again gaining power.

Punjab has seen it all, although right from the black era of terrorism Punjab is have faced every problem. The most drunken state of Punjab is fast turning into most addicted too. In Punjab where traditional drugs like opium, poppy, liquor were coming since long ago and they are still going on. Then came the smack and shriek of these drugs, once again stripped the youth of Punjab.

The Rising influx of drugs a major concern area for families

The influx of Drugs is not in favor of Punjab. Alcohol is the main source of income of the government today and tremors are being rolled out in Punjab. No doubt these families will be displaced by these addicts. But the youth of the present era is hit badly by heroin (white). Today the youth of Punjab is becoming enslaved by white drugs also called Chitta. The drug that was being supplied in large cities at one time is now available from door to door in the villages.

Drug Abuse and Music

The Punjabi music industry is also doing good business on this drug scene. Such sophisticated songs often come to the fore, which include alcohol, drugs in their music to lure the young ones. There is also a change in the way of the use of this Chitta or white drug.

In fact, Baba Ram Rahim Ji countered the drug menace at all points by awareness, de-addiction, employment, and even music. He composed pop music songs and whole night concerts were held, to divert the youth which was getting an overdose of adultery and addition through music flooded in the market in the form of albums and film songs.

Not many would know the main purpose Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji took to films and Drug abuse was one of these.

Earlier Chitta was pulled in by breathing, but in today’s time, through direct injections, these are quickly injected into the blood. Anything made in the blood is difficult to extract, especially drug abuse. This drug overdose leads to the cause of death through injections. Today the youth of Punjab is becoming a slave of white drugs. He also composed his own songs, which were motivating youngsters to move ahead on the path of humanity and spirituality.

But we are back to the square once again now. Border areas of Punjab and Haryana are once again the targets of drug peddlers. Recently, according to the figures published by All India Institute of Medical Science Delhi, 76 percent of the people in the age group of 18 to 35 years of age are using some drug or substance abuse. Of these, 53 percent of young people are using heroin, which is a matter of concern, because the heroin addicts cannot give up on this drug. The average rate of heroin drug drops in Punjab is less than 1 percent. Heroin is composed of a variety of chemical elements which cause great harm to the human body’s digestive system. The intake is usually between 0.5 grams of 2 grams a day. According to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), the annual value of the drug in Punjab is Rs 7,500 crore. These figures are increasing day by day.

There is hardly any page of a newspaper that does not have the news of dead youths with this drug. Always the reason for the Punjab government that this drug comes from the border. There is no doubt in this, as far as the border area is concerned, much of Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan share the border with Pakistan but! The trend of getting ‘white’ habits has not been revealed in the youth of Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan.

Then why is Punjab being targeted? In Punjab, it is a drug trade that is why most Punjab comes in. The Punjab government, of course, formed the STF to abolish the drug but there was no result at the grassroots level. Drug De-addiction. There is a need to reduce the number of people suffering from intoxicants. The government should allow the police to work fairly so that the drug traffickers can be controlled. Apart from this, the combination of employment and sports can also be done away with this bad condition. Drugs are the problems of the whole country, so the Center and the state governments need to formulate such a policy to ensure that the supply of narcotics from the border ceases completely. It is a shame that a Govt fails to protect its people from anti-social elements and the ones who come forward for the same, for instance, Saint Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji are targeted for their good work instead.
