The one hour workshop introduced the students to ‘Vedic Mathematics’ designed to reinforce the power of the brain. The principal, Asna Nafees earnestly acknowledged the endeavour of Bathia to spread the knowledge that will prove constructive and beneficial for all students, not only dur- ing exams but will also help them boost their confidence and eliminate redundant mental blockages. 04 COVER STORY THURSDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2017 The Washington Post hen a workplace accident left her on bed rest for nine months in 2013, Nastasia WYakoub’s future in nursing was uncertain at best. “I fell into depression because I had studied for four and a half years to became a labour-and-delivery nurse,” Yakoub, 30, said. “I needed something to distract me.” To pass the time, she began posting old snapshots under her Instagram handle, @DameTrave- ler, a name chosen to share the empowering concept of independ- ent female travelers. After the popular @BeautifulDestinations reposted one of her photos along with its hashtag, Yakoub was inspired to add a hashtag to her own posts. Following an outpour- ing of attention, she opened the account to the community and began reposting tagged images that caught her eye.

McCune, who splits his time between New York City and Tulum, Mex- ico, has expanded @Earth’s reach by partnering with YouTube vloggers and social media travel mavens to create travel guides, photo journals and video content. (He curates @Tulum, as well as @Traveler and @Forest.) Yakoub did something similar, creating additional handles such as @DameTravel- erFoodie and @DameTravelerHotels to zero in on specific categories. Like McCune and Yakoub, 31-year-old Zach Houghton started out with an Instragram account and ended up with a full-time job. “I never set out to create something this big,” said Houghton, who curates @Passionpassport, an account with almost 900,000 followers. “I first started to showcase the beauty of travel and create editorial content that gives peo- ple the opportunity to understand what power travel has in our own lives.” The former trader was working in Hong Kong when he left the world of finance for a nine-month, 15-country trek that he documented in a blog and on Instagram. When the project ended, he opened the account to the community. By 2015, the hashtag had 1 million photos; today, it has more than 10 million. Houghton ultimately parlayed @Passion- passport into Passport Studio, a company that creates sponsored content around the themes of travel and discov- ery. The hashtag that started it all remains among Instagram’s top travel accounts, and Houghton says that he’s still on the lookout for undiscovered photographers with the same spirit that inspired him to start the account. “Everyone has valid things to do and say and show, if you give them the opportunity to do so,” he said. “It’s not just those epic, jaw-dropping moments - it’s those quiet moments of travel that are worthy to talk about.” 06 COMMUNITY THURSDAY 2 NOVEMBER 2017 Indian Embassy marks National Unity Day ndian Embassy marked National Unity Day - Rashtriya Ekta IDiwas) to commemorate the birth anniversary of Sardar Valla- bhbhai Patel at its premises on October 31.

BY THE MAN The victim is mostly the hero’s sister (hardly ever the heroine, who has to Tbelong only to the hero), which gives the hero an excuse to unleash revenge in the end. The Hindi film script writer may have rid his imagination of that stereotyped image a while ago, but the subject of rape as depicted in our popular cinema will somehow forever con- tinue to form that picture of misplaced titilla- tion in the minds of the male front benchers of the single screen era, with teasing close-up NEXT DOOR shots and lewd dialogues.
