ISRO – Interview Experience 2016

I was not very much confident about the ISRO examination result but i got shortlisted for the interview. My inerview venue was DOS Staff Housing,Sector 17, Antariksha Vihar,Dwarka, New Delhi. They have asked us to report at 8:00 AM. Then we were asked to wait in the hall. They used to call group of 4 candidate on random order (Specifically it was the strategy to finish all female candidates’ interview early). They did document verification and we were asked to wait for the interview. After waiting complete day. My interview started at 7:20 PM.

What is criteria for “Creamy Layer” in OBC Reservation?

I have came across many a people from O.B.C.Community who makes mistake in deciding whether they fall under “Non Creamy Layer” or “Creamy Layer”.  Mandal Commission has clearly mentioned the “Indicators (Criteria)  for Social and Educationally Backward” classes in Page No 52 of Part-I.
However in the current time, its difficult to go by these definition and there have been filed many public litigations in Supreme Court. In one of those litigation, it was claimed that if the reservation would be given on such recommended criteria then there is possibility that “Reservation benefits would be snatched away by creamy layer of backward class or caste“. So The nine-judge bench established the concept of qualitative exclusion and it is known as “Creamy Layer“.
Criteria for Creamy Layer:
An exhaustive criteria for who will fall under creamy layer category has been given in an order issued by Nation Commission on Backward Classes on 2nd March 2015 via DO No. NCBC/MS/1/2015 Please see this link Criteria for Creamy Layer

Yoga Techniques By The Art of Living

I was looking for an alternative of regular gym to keep my body and mind fit so I got to know about Yoga Techniques By The Art of Living. I searched for it everywhere but I could not find any teacher in my area in my home town.

I came to Mumbai in 2016 by the virtue of my job and got some time to focus on my body and mind. I again started looking for nearby yoga classes by The Art of Living.

I did a google search and came to know that “Happiness Program” is happening near to my office so I joined the program and It was really awesome and I still feel so good whenenver I remind myself about the teaching I have learned in the program.

I was introduced with an amazing Breathing and Meditation technique know as “Sudarshan Kriya”. I felt so good after trying it for first time.

I have enlited some of the Yoga Techniques By The Art of Living below. You can go through these techniques. You never know, you may need it and you are not even aware about these techniques.

Sudarshan Kriya

Sudarshan Kriya by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar incorporates specific natural rhythms of the breath which harmonize the body, mind and emotions. The Art of Living SKY is a unique and powerful breathing technique which eliminates stress, fatigue and negative emotions such as anger, frustration and depression, leaving you calm yet energized, focused & yet relaxed.

Kapal Bhati

Kapalbhati Pranayama Breathing Technique – Also known as Skull Shining Breathing Technique is a very effective for the weight loss.

Surya Namskar

Surya Namaskar is an ancient form of Yoga, an art of solar vitalization. It is a meditative technique to lose weight, improve posture and to strengthen muscles. Surya Namaskar is a great method to keep yourself in high fitness level and also relieves you from stress.

Padma Saadhna

Padma Sadhana, to rejuvenate your body and mind. These practices can make you more sensitive to subtle sensations in the body and is one of the surest way to steady the wandering mind. It helps in toning the leg and arm muscles and adds greater flexibility to the back.

Note:

I am  promotiing Yoga Techniques By The Art of Living but I am sharing it becase I have met many people who dont start yoga just because they want to do it in correct way. These videos could be very helpful in starting your yoga journey but these voideo can never replace the importance of having a yoga teacher and learning it directly from teacher itself.

Mumbai is becoming better in Metro Connectivity

I came to Mumbai in October 2016 from Noida/Delhi. There are many things that i miss here in Mumbai and one of the major thing is the Metro Connectivity. While traveling to office, i usually see lot of construction work is happening for the metro connectivity by MMRC and because of this construction work, Mumbaikars have to face lot of traffic. I must say the construction work is going on with a very good speed and i always wondered, how these people are making this happend at such a good speed and out of curiosity i searched in youtube “Making of Mumbai Metro” and i found one video name “Mumbai Metro Making.  This video tells how the construction work is going on.
