Nothing on earth can help the person with wrong mental attitude”. Thomas Jefferson Attitude may be defined as the view point, perspective, reaction, or outlook towards the happenings /surrounding circumstances. A person with positive attitude knows where his strengths weaknesses and scope lays. Almost all the religious texts, thinkers and modern age public motivators emphasize on development of a positive outlook towards adverse situations in particular and life in general. Right attitude is developed as a result of culmination of much positivity over a period of time. It is something which can be felt by others. The value and importance of such a positive attitude can be gauged from a simple example; The rescuer and the drowning man are in the same rough waters, under the fury of Mother Nature, but what differs them is the attitude which they have. As a candidate for Civil Services Exams, not only the study material, but also good health is something of great importance. There is a direct relationship between a positive attitude and superior health which in turn guarantee’s greater success. According to the researches carried out in Mayo Clinic positive thinking not only reduces levels of distress but also provide greater resistance to common cold, Cardio circular issues and even cancer. Some of the ways to develop such a vital aspect of life are:- By modifying one’s behavior by consciously discarding negative thoughts. By being optimistic and thankful & grateful to the God for so many things which many others long for By prioritizing the most important goals and setting achievable targets. By turning challenges into opportunities for learning; (Rather than hitting the wall climbing the wall or just go around). Thus we can easily conclude that a positive attitude brings positivity, along with good health which in turn brings success, which further brings happiness in life. ************ << 6 >> | NIMBUS TIMES | JUNE, 2019 CIVIL SERVICES EXAMINATION 2019 HIMACHAL PRADESH IN NEWS WORLD’S HIGHEST POLLING STATION A small Himachal Pradesh village has got the distinction of the highest polling station in the world. Tashigang is located at an altitude of 15,256 feet. Tashigang Polling Station falls in Buddhist- dominated Lahaul-Spiti and forms part of the Mandi Lok Sabha seat, the second largest constituency in India. Tashigang is situated at about 29 km from the India China border and the polling station covers two villages— Tashigang and Gete. The polling station has 48 voters, of which 30 are men and 18 women. Even though Tashigang has all necessary facilities like power and water supply but lacks mobile connectivity and election officials will use a satellite phone during polls on May 19. Initially, election officials had intended to set up the polling booth at Gete village but shifted it to Tashigang as the government school building there was not found safe. Earlier the tiny settlement of Hikkim in Himachal Pradesh positioned at an altitude of about 14,400 ft, was the highest polling station in the country. HIMACHAL PRADESH GOVERNMENT DECLARED MONKEYS AS VERMIN Monkey’s are declared as vermin by the Himachal Pradesh government again, in 11 districts, 91 tehsils and sub-tehsils for the next one year. Previously, monkeys were declared as vermin in 38 tehsils and sub-tehsils of 10 districts in the year 2016 and which was further extended to next year on December 20, 2017. Quick Facts Wildlife laws divide species into ‘schedules’ ranked from I to V. Schedule I members are the best protected, in theory, with severe punishments meted out to those who hunt them. Wild boars, nilgai and rhesus monkeys are Schedule II and III members — also protected, but can be hunted under specific conditions. Crows and fruit bat fall in Schedule 5, the vermin category. Section 11(1)a of the Wildlife Protection Act (WPA) authorizes chief wildlife warden to permit hunting of any problem wild animal only if it cannot be captured, tranquillized or translocated. For wild animals in Schedule II, III or IV, chief wildlife warden or authorized officers can permit their hunting in a specified area if they have become dangerous to humans or property (including standing crops on any land). Section 62 of Act empowers Centre to declare wild animals other than Schedule I & II to be vermin for specified area and period. INDIA’S FIRST RAILWAY STATION INSIDE TUNNEL TO COME UP IN HIMACHAL PRADESH Station named, the Keylong station, to be built inside a tunnel at a height of 3,000 metres in Himachal Pradesh. This will be built along the Bilaspur-Manali-Leh line close to the Sino-India border. The station will be at a height of around 3,000 metres and will be inside a 27-km-long tunnel. It will connect all important locations between Bilaspur and Leh like Sundernagar, Mandi, Manali, Keylong, Koksar, Darcha, Upshi and Karu and other towns of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir. After completion, the line will halve the duration taken to cover the distance between Delhi and Leh, from 40 hours to 20 hours. 7 >> | NIMBUS TIMES | JUNE, 2019 CIVIL SERVICES EXAMINATION 2019 PGI SATELLITE CENTRE IN UNA DISTRICT Union Health Minister laid the foundation stone of a PGI satellite centre at Malahat village, 3 km from Una city.

    Talent. Success. Leadership inspired TALENT . SUCCESS . LEADERSHIP FOREWORD Chair of the Judging Panel Mr Iqbal Wahhab OBE Thirty years ago my first job was as a trainee reporter for The Asian Times. Arif Ali, the publisher, was fond of saying that minorities in the UK had to have the right to be “as good, as bad and as indifferent as everyone else”. It’s fair to say that some in the British Bangladeshi community have in the past condemned themselves in the last two categories. But whilst our youngsters face big challenges with toxic combination of criminalisation and radicalisation, we do ourselves a disservice by not celebrating the increasing number of good news stories and successes we have amongst us. From the East End of London, Sabirul Islam chose to put his entrepreneurial skills to great use and over the last year has become a global brand.
