I don’t have a brother. I do have cousins. That’s why Rakhi while growing up was not something I thought a great deal about. But my sister who is six years younger wanted to celebrate all festivals. She insisted that since we looked out for each other we should tie Rakhi to each other Raksha Bandhan is just that. Right?
Protecting, looking out, and helping each other out. Isn’t that what the spirit of Rakhi all about?
My little girl celebrates Rakhi at school, with loads of fun and little idea about Raksha Bandhan .i did try to explain to her today morning when she got ready for school. She was more interested in learning how to tie it, than why and whom of it.
She has 3 cousin brothers who are not close. So if I do make a point about Raksha Bandhan she will not really understand. I am in two minds.
In the epic Mahabharat, Draupadi tied a Rakhi on Krishna. That’s why taking His name Draupadi always got protection.
Whether to make Rai feel her cousins are the brothers, or she would be better off, tying it to Krishnaand make God her protector.Any tips on this?

In all the drama about Jammu and Kashmir, everyone forgot the new baby. Ladakh is our baby UT. Beautiful Ladakh never wanted to be ignored. Their development, their developmental, political aspirations were stamped under lack of political will.
Beautiful people, a cold dessert, but the language was not recognized, the identity was confusing. An unforgettable land where people wanted the same things as you and me. They wanted to feel like they belonged, wanted to build a better future. But they lacked so many things which you and I took for granted. A good school Good colleges Good University Good hospitals. Work opportunity and a better life seemed to be on the other side, just beyond their reach.No one talked about them, it was always the happening next-door neighbor. The neighbor controlled everything. The purse-string and the fruitation of their aspirations.
Article 370meant only people of J and K could work in J and K.Even in central jobs only people of J and K could be posted.
I was surprised that the beautiful roads in Leh were empty. The shops were basic. Talking to people we realized the terrain made for a low population, but jobs and entrepreneurship help was even lesser.
370 had to go. Doing the same things for seventy years, yielded roughly the same result. It’s time to make a change .Adapting to change and embracing the new today is a good idea, just like Ladakh did. I sincerely hope all the politicians who are busy causing chaos over J and K, realize this. Their children were educated outside Kashmir. If they cared about J and K ‘S people, they would have focussed on building schools,colleges, and hospitals and stopped the stone-throwing business long back. A few people with vested interest tried destroying the youth for their petty gains. Terrorism helped make a few rich in J and K. If you trace their trajectory and their wealth, you will find the answer to why J and K had so much trouble.
Many wrongs doesn’t make a right!

In Ladakh, we stayed at the Grand Dragon. A stunning hotel whose staff helped us get settled down. Our trip was of very short duration and acclimatization needs time. I was already under the weather and on the way I wrote this post. Those cold stark mountains. The views of the snow-capped mountains looked close by. But was far away. Ladakh is far away. So is Jammu and Kashmir, but now is the time to help the people in whichever way we can.
I hear you. You want to help. Now you can. Keep your eyes open that when you can you can. Help open educational and healthcare institutions.
Article 370 and Ladakh
Social justice prosperity and peace takes a long time. But a start is needed. We started finally after so many years of Independence Ladakh will finally have a voice. As Marie Forleo famously says
Everything is Figureoutable!
Marie Forleo
, It’s important to have the political will and the inner strength, that only optimism brings. There will always be naysayers, you need to focus on the big picture of a united India! Faiths and religions are not above humanity. Human aspirations everywhere are the same! I wonder why no one is talking about what the people of Ladakh want? Is their voice not important too?
We want peace, harmony and our children to be happy, healthy and well-fed and have wisdom. That needs some work and now we can say India remembers and just time doesn’t make wrongs right! Neither does multiple wrongs make right. Finally, India stopped paying the price for past mistakes. Its time to make some changes.For the better!
Md. Mansoor Khan is in the news after economic offenders like Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and the Kingfisher man. This Karnataka Ponzi scheme has made Interpol announce a blue corner notice against the founder Md.Mansoor Khan.
The hard-working middle class wants to have a safe investment option. Government options are not as lucrative. Private options are confusing. In this muddle comes third party shady deals and Ponzi schemes. If you think only the poor and uneducated fall for Ponzi schemes, think again. The current headline-grabbing IMA Ponzi scheme had a significant percentage of upper-middle-class investors. The last dividend was allegedly paid in April and then the man ran but faking his own suicide.
Ponzi scheme and Md.Mansoor Khan
I decided to write about this because I saw my father running after such schemes and losing money all the time. It never fails to surprise me that people still do this all the time. Thousands of people in Karnataka have filed FIRs.Here two questions need to be asked.
1)Why does the Government not have a Ponzi scheme alert in place.
2)Why is the public still falling for theses,that too in a place like Karnataka!
What’s IMA!
I Monetary Advisory group of companies was started by Md.Mansoor Khan. It’s behind the Ponzi scheme which duped people out of their hard earned money. Karnataka Government allegedly ignored a 2015,RBIs warning about this shady business and ED has also filed a case of money laundering against the company.
Who is Md Mansoor Khan?
Md. Mansoor Khan is the man behind the shocking Ponzi scheme in Bengaluru. He has left the country last week to the middle east probably Dubai. To evade suspicion he sent his family beforehand. Many top Karnataka politicians allegedly cheated him. He even sent a fake audio clip to Police before running. He started an Islam banking and halal investment scheme. The investments avoided halal industries like tobacco, alcohol, etc. It raised 2000crores from the market.IMA has a diverse portfolio including education, healthcare, jewelry, and publishing industries.
What’s a Ponzi scheme?
A Ponzi scheme like the MLM scheme and pyramid schemes pay old investors by new investor money. They hook people by promising a high rate of interest, with little or no risk(not true in the real world) and is classically dubious in nature. Made famous by Charles Ponzi nature.
With so many Ponzi schemes everywhere in this country, it would seem we have a lot of money to give to scamsters. It’s a big surprise that economic offenders have such a wide reach. The story of Halal and Haram investment is big news today. Guess why? In this case, a lot of the religious leaders had supported the company and the owner. One wonders, what they will say now.
How to recognize a Ponzi scheme?
They target people with limited knowledge about how investments make money.
They guarantee the moon and back.
They talk about very high returns on investment which is at odds with market results. They depend on the lack of knowledge of the target investor.
The marketing and sales people involved have very high commissions and will invite you to join as an associate in many cases.
Their business model is vague.
The scheme sounds very lucrative and much better than anything you have heard.
Its always promoted as risk free or minimal risk.
If you see anywone offer you any such schemes,pretend to have some urgent work and run.Fast.
