€ŸÁê¯ÁÅþà ¬ÁϞʪÁÏ

Greetings to all and welcome to the third edition of Sravanti this year.

In my last message, I talked about keeping you informed of the Management Committeeaction plans as we go along. The theme of this message is membership drive. The three initiatives listed below relating to membership drive are one of the early priorities for thecommittee:

• Membership drive to increase life and annual membership of TAAI. Membership is the life blood of any organisation and without the active participation and support ofmembers, TAAI will not be strong and healthy on a sustainable basis. ManagementCommittee plans to actively undertake a membership drive in all localities ofMelbourne. As part of this drive, the committee members expect to contact as many people as possible in the community to sign up as members. We request you, who arenot life members currently, either to renew their membership if they have beenmembers in the past or take up membership if they have not been members at all. Taking up life membership is another option for those who are not currently lifemembers. We also take this opportunity to request TAAI members to talk to others inthe community regarding taking up TAAI membership. Membership fee details are given later in this note.

• Maintain up to date and accurate membership list (life and annual). One of the challenges for the Management Committee is not only creating an accuratemembership list but maintain it as we go along. The Management Committee is planning to achieve this objective by using a list that was considered to be reasonablyaccurate from the recent past and build it in to an up to date and current list. This isgoing to be a tedious process and takes time and effort. But we believe it is important to achieve this if TAAI is to maintain an accurate membership list and it is a statutoryrequirement to maintain correct membership list at all times.

• Maintain a database of membership contact details and of non members in thecommunity. The email list that is currently available needs to be verified for itsaccuracy and completeness. With an up to date database of contact details, we will beable to serve our membership better in terms of TAAI communications and Sravantidistribution among other things.

Also, there is one other initiative that I like to mention here. Management Committee wouldlike to get feedback from you on your expectations of TAAI, activities that you like TAAI totake up and what is important to you as a TAAI member. We will be sending a feedback form to you all seeking your valuable inputs shortly.

Please note that the membership form is included in Sravanti and you can also download from TAAI website. TAAI Membership fee details are as follows:

Life Membership: $250;

Annual Membership Family: $25;

Annual Membership: Single: $15

I hope you enjoy reading this edition of Sravanti. Stay tuned. Gopal Tangirala President TAAI On Behalf of Management Committee

“THE INDIAN STUDENT IN AUSTRALIA” LIFE CYCLE

Australia is at the receiving end of the $14.2 billion a year, overseas student industry. This makes it the third biggest export industry in Australia, behind coal and iron ore.

Indian students make up almost 18% percent of Australia’s total foreign student population, only second to China. However, a majority of Indian students come from tyring circumstances back in India, most misled about employment opportunities and unrealistic life styles. Part of the blame lies with parents who are aware of the struggles the child has gone through, however, merely boast that their child is happily living in Australia, thus inspiring other children and parents to pursue similar paths. Also to be blamed is our education system. India is home to several world class universities and educational

Parents, do not merely send their children to study in countries like Australia, but also buy apartments in cities like Melbourne and Sydney for their children to live in while they study. But this is only one side of the story. Most of us are all too familiar with the other picture… one where the student comes from a middle class family, parents pool their limited resources, sell their houses and take loans to pay for the huge cost of education of their sons and daughters.

institutions. (Indian institute of technology has been ranked in top 10 technical institutions around the world. Also Indian school of business is ranked in top 15 business schools around the globe. Indian universities are recognized world wide in technical, management and medical studies). But seats are limited and competition is extremely high. Employment opportunities are limited. So students move overseas in search of greener pastures. I myself came as a student around 8 years ago. I worked for an overseas education consultant in India. The staff were trained to tell students who wished to go to Australia that, initially they will spend on education, however, finding a place is easy, they can share with a few other students, within a couple of weeks, they can find a job in petrol stations, libraries etc and once they finish their studies, they can find their dream jobs in IT or if lucky, even work for the university itself, get Permanent Residency if they like and, your life is a breeze! I said these words, to many prospective students, I also believed in them. I ended up in Australia just like the others, only to find that the reality was very different! On average, the Indian student in Australia struggles financially and may be paid less than the legal wage. The relative deficit of language and cultural skills can make it hard to find employment than their domestic peers. An Indian student in Australia is hit by a major culture shift, lifestyle change (most of them would never have performed any household chores) and is also expected to carry the financial burden of his or her family back in India. From a highly protected environment back home, they suddenly find themselves in a high pressure, high risk environment. As if this is not enough, Indian students have recently become victims of crime

in Australia. Funnily enough, the warning goes out, not to the culprits or the community in general, but to the Indian student to keep a low profile in public, not to speak loudly in their native tongue or display signs of wealth! What about many locals and other foreigners who scream their hearts out on their mobile phones while traveling in trams and trains? And what do they say about people who volunteer to treat all the travellers on the trams or trains to their I-pod music? An Indian student on average spends around $30000 each year on fees, and also contributes to the Australian economy in the form of food and other expenses, employment taxes, rent etc. Several students wish to stay back after studies and gain permanent residency. (And why not? It only seems fair after all the money they have spent in gaining education). But the reality again is, students find it tough to cope with the ever changing student migration policy. Around 47,639 student visas were granted to Indian nationals during 2007-08 and only 5,772 went on to get permanent residence visas. Finally, after paying several thousands of dollars in fees, 2 or 3 years of patience, after eating innumerable burnt dinners, being mugged by criminals in small dark alleys, being asked several times, “are you sure you are not calling me from Bombay?” and being fortunate enough to be one of the privileged few to obtain a Permanent Residency, is the “Indian student in Australia” life cycle complete? A friend of mine, an engineer from BITS PILANI INDIA who works for a call centre here and myself got into a taxi the other day and hit a conversation with the driver. He casually asked me my profession. He then proudly mentioned that he has completed his Masters in Information Technology in Melbourne and has been driving a taxi for the last 11 months. He hopes to become a software professional very soon.

Mother’s day celebrations in India! The concept of Mother's Day is in its early stages in India, but surely catching up. I think it’s a remarkable achievement for this, mainly American festival to make its presence felt in our culturally diverse country ‘India’. Although Mother's Day is not a totally new concept in India, as we have been celebrating festivals like Durga Puja and Kali Puja - honoring the divine goddesses as mother of all mankind. The tradition of 'Mother Worship' is very ancient, and has always been part of Indian Religion and culture.

The worship of God in the form of Mother is a unique contribution of the Hindu Mind. A devotee worships God as Divine Mother, appeals to Her tenderness and unconditional love. Such love bonds the devotee with God, like a child with mother. Just as a child feels safe and secure in the lap of his/her mother, a devotee feels safe and secure in the presence of the Divine Mother.

“The tradition of 'Mother Worship' is

very ancient, and has always been part of Indian Religion and

culture.”

The mother is considered poojaniya (prayer worthy) in India since the Vedas.

But a day totally dedicated to a person's own mother is something new. Maybe the success of Mothers Day in India is felt due to the emotions attached to the festival. All in all it gives us a great opportunity to realize the importance of this day and dedicate it to the great efforts undertaken by our mother’s in our upbringing.

Indian Gooseberries – A complete health tonic known to improve vitality, resistance to illnesses and slowing down the ageing process.

Indian Gooseberry or Amla is the most popular herb since the age of saints and rishis. It’s a household name in India and has been able to impress people across the world for its excellent health benefits. Modern nutritionists equates Amla's most abundant source of Vitamin C with as much as 20 times of an orange. It’s astonishing to know that its vitamin C content does not diminish with cooking. This very property of gooseberry makes it extraordinary. Gooseberry has many other nutritious benefits.

In India, consuming gooseberry is considered the best antidote against aging-related disorders. Its juice has great strength to replenish your lost energy source. The presence of antioxidants like vitamin C is one of main factors of sourcing back your energy.

There are many different ways in which amla has been used traditionally as a trusted herb. Some of the benefit:

1.It works as an antioxidant vitamin to fight signs of external and internal ageing.

2.When it comes to hair care, nothing beats amla. Amla has the power to stop graying of hair and help grow back natural black hair. Even for hair loss, you can rely upon this wonderful fruit. It is more beneficial, when you eat fresh rather than any processed medicines. Eating fresh fruit or applying its paste on hair roots improves hair growth and color.

3.Amla is a nervous system stimulant. It is an amazing brain tonic which helps boost your memory.

4.Keep your eyesight in good condition by having gooseberry juice mixed with a little honey. It has the capacity to treat nearsightedness and cataract to an extent.

5.Want to increase your weight in a healthy manner then you should consume more of gooseberries. It helps in balancing nitrogen levels very well which helps in increasing your weight.

6.A common problem for many is acne and by purifying your blood you can get rid of this problem. Consume fresh juice of amla with clarified butter and honey. In the absence of fresh juice you can use amla/gooseberry powder.

7.Gooseberry mixed with honey and taken every morning improves treatment in asthma.

8.For diabetic patient, gooseberry must be included in their diet. The therapeutic value it contained in itself can do wonder in making the cells secret insulin.

9.It is also a coolant and best thing to use during summers

Nutritional values of Amla remain the same whether taken fresh, frozen, dry or in powdered form.

Indian Traditions – Why do we blow a conch? You must have noticed the conch blown in temples or at home before the pooja, whilst doing aarti or to mark an auspicious occasion. The Conch Shell or Shankh was obtained as a gift from the ocean - churning by the Gods. The spiral formation inside the conch -shell is symbolic of infinite space.

The blowing of the conch shell announces important events and auspicious celebrations and calls all the faithful for the worship of the deity. On the battlefield of Kurushetra in the Mahabharatha, every morning the blowing of the shankh, symbolized the starting of the war.

“The spiral formation inside the conch -

shell is symbolic of infinite space.”When it is blown, the sound of ‘Om’ emanates representing the world and the Lord behind

it. It symbolizes righteousness which is one of the four goals in life and thus it is blown to drown out all negative auras near the individual. Its worshipped with the following verse:

Twam puraa saagarot pannaha Vishnunna vidhrutahakare Devaischa poojitha sarvaihi Paanchajanya namostu te

Meaning: Salutations Paanchajanya,

The conch born of the ocean, Held in the hand of Lord Vishnu And worshipped by all devaas.

i have walked a long road, to try and find that hallowed abode, but it all seems like a mirage, life or a kaleidoscopic collage? so much seems to have taken place, so many times i have had to brace, but i fear i have hardly learnt, maybe i have not been enough burnt? i have heard great stories of light, must be such a glorious sight, but darkness i cannot seem to dispel, but then what use is there to dwell?

the road goes on and on, whats gone is just bygone, our road goes on and on, wont the obstacles surely wan? i think the secret is this, we are all diamonds in the rough, and the road is just for this, to call my stupid bluff, so that i may be, the sparkle that is truly me.

Sports Roundup

There are a multitude of sports coming up in the next couple of months. We have our usualAFL, Soccer, Cricket, and others but this time round we also have new sport that previouslyhasn’t had as much coverage as they would have liked. We start with basketball and more to the point, NBA. We’re at the business end of thenorthern hemisphere sporting world and the NBA playoffs are shaping up to be a very grandevent. Previously only available to foxtel and cable owners, with the inclusion of One HD, it’s now available to the normal person. A few names will really stand out in the NBA and 3of them would have to be LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. All 3 of theirrespective teams (Cleveland, Los Angeles and Boston if you’re interested) have a very realistic chance of making the grand final of the competition. My money for now would beon Cleveland as they have season MVP, all-star MVP and possible finals MVP LeBron James leading their crack at the clubs first ever title. The AFL season is under way and the ladder is almost fully decided. As usual, Melbournewill finish last followed by Richmond, West Coast and Fremantle. Geelong and St Kilda willbattle it out for first place and Carlton and Essendon will make the top 8 for the first time in a while. There’s not really much to say other than that until the end of the season wherea win here or a loss there could be the difference between 8th and 9th positions. Gary Ablett may win the Brownlow this year as he is the only person to be a serious contender. Soccer is one of those sports we could spend pages and pages writing about and we wouldhave only gotten through one of the many leagues in the world. In the media, The BarclaysEnglish Premier League is touted as the top in the world. Many have attributed this to the brand of football coined “Roughhouse”. This came about due to the attention paid to thefact that English football is much rougher and results in many more injuries than any otherin the world. The Spanish, Italian, French and German leagues have not been able to keepup with this physicality in recent years with 3 of 4 English teams in the Champions Leaguemaking the Semi-Finals three years in a row. In the premier league, Manchester United looks set to take its 3rd title in a row and Liverpool will still be searching for the follow up to their most recent title 19 years ago.Chelsea will rue a wasted season that will culminate with Didier Drogba facing severe fromUEFA for his angry outburst at the referee following Chelsea’s dumping from the UEFA champions League which will be won by either Manchester United or Barcelona. Finally we come to the topic most of you out there have been waiting for: Cricket. The IPL is almost finished and it looks like a 3 horse race with Deccan, Delhi and Rajasthan to sort out who will win this year’s abbreviated version in South Africa. The world T20competition is next month and India has all its members performing in the IPL which couldcost them dearly if a key players are injured. South Africa has 12 of its players there while England and Sri Lanka has 7 each. This year with all its experience in T20, India looks like acontender again but South Africa could compete with its star studded line-up. Australia, England and Sri-Lanka also will be a threat but do not have much experience in T20. So the next couple of months will be big for certain sports and not so eventful for others.Hopefully the ones that are deemed to be big will live up to their billing and please allsport lovers around the world.

ýÆ�Ä� HOUSE HOLD TIPS

Stop Celery Wilting - Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it keeps fresh for weeks.

Keeping fresh herbs - Keep herbs fresh by placing stems in a jug with a few centimetres of water; cover tops with a plastic bag; tie bag in place and refrigerate. Keeping ripe bananas - There's no need to waste an oversupply of ripe bananas. You can freeze bananas, unpeeled, sealed in an airtight container or freezer bag. Simply thaw before mashing for use in banana cakes or muffins.

ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY Energy saver tips – Part 2 DISHWASHER

“With more fibre than leading cereals,

and without the added sugar or salt, try

starting your day with an apple”

We can save energy, money and environment just by following some efficiency tips regarding our appliance -

• It pays to read the manufacturer's instruction on plates, glasses and cutlery whenloading your dishwasher. Correctly placed items increase dishwasher efficiency and ensure the best cleaning results. You should also check that nothing is preventing the wash arms from rotating before you start the dishwasher.

• Be patient and wait until you have enough dirty items to fill the dishwasher before operating. Partial loads waste water and electricity.

• Make the most of all functions on your dishwasher. Small load or half loadoptions, short wash cycles, rinse-only cycles and mid-cycle turn off are features designed for energy efficiency as well as convenience.

• For extra energy savings, make sure you use the cold water cycle when rinsingdishes.

WHY an apple a day keeps doctor away

• It might surprise you to learn that apples have a much higher anti-oxidant content than traditional superfoods such as Green Tea almost four times.

• With the contribution of antioxidants, fibre, potassium and minerals, apples are an ideal choice to help the body feel younger inside and out.

• Apples can improve lung functions and help reduce the risk of asthma before we even take a breath.

• Adding an apple a day to your diet may just keep the cardiovascular surgeon away.

• Recent European research has indicated easting an apple a day or more was linked to reduced incidence for different cancers including oral, larynx, esophageal, breast, ovary, prostate and colorectal.

Presenting Cocktails

A cocktail must look inviting, interesting, appealing, attractive and tempting.

There are many ways to garnish a drink.

Wheel: Make sure you slice the fruit with a backward, forward motion and don’t push down on it too hard which will make it go out of shape.

Make sure the knife rests against the front of the fingers to have a straight edge and avoid cutting in an angle.

Conclusion of Presenting Cocktails

Homeopathy for everyone �§Í�ÁêÏ

“Homoeopathy.... cures a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment and is beyond doubt safer and more economical and the most complete medical science.” Mahatama Gandhi

Most systems of medicine other than natural therapies today merely mask the symptoms or provide temporary relief for our suffering. This results in the ailment appearing over and over again, evolving into more complex and complicated ailments, not to mention the contribution of side effects of powerful chemicals used in the medications.

Homeopathy is a revolutionary system of natural medicine which provides an all in one solution for all the health needs of your entire family. It is a very powerful yet gentle medicine which works by tapping your immune system back into action to fight against the troubling disease. Homeopathic medicines are extracted from nature mostly using plant, vegetable and mineral substances. Homeopathic medicines are very individual specific (indvidualised). For example, three people suffering from the same symptoms (say symptoms of sinusitis) will not be given a similar medicine. Depending on their personal traits, characters, likes and dislikes, mental make up and innumerable other factors which make up their body constitution, they may get completely different remedies highly specialised to suit them.

All Homeopathy really does is, it gently awakens the immune system of the body, makes it aware of the disease or ailment and guides it to fight against the disease naturally. It trains the immune system to target the root cause of the disease thus eventually preventing it from recurring in the future.

This action makes Homeopathy a perfectly safe medicine for the entire family, right from a new born baby to a 90 year old elderly person. It is the safest, side effect free, effective medication to be found.

Homeopathy can treat ailments ranging from common colds, allergies, frequent flu attacks, to persistent skin diseases, psychosomatic disorders, polycystic ovaries etc. With Homeopathy, you can avoid imminent surgery in quite a number of cases for conditions such as tonsillitis, sinusitis, adenoids, kidney stones, gall stones etc

“In Homeopathy we do not keep medicating the symptoms of the disease. Instead we try to remedy the root cause of it.”

Some of the other conditions where Homeopathy can be very effective is in diseases like kidney stones, lichen planus, migraines, asthma, eczema, hair loss, tumors,

Page 23: Sravanti May_ 2009

úxqsª«sLi¼½ Page 23 of 30

sexual problems, ovarian cysts, fibroids, chronic fatigue, polycystic ovaries, cholesterol, ADHD, diabetes etc just to name a few.

Homeopathy along with healthy natural diet, lifestyle changes, pranayama, massage and yoga can work wonders. Entire families, right from the youngest member of the family to the grand parents around the world rely on Homeopathy to keep their family healthy and to keep diseases at bay.

Homeopathy not only treats existing ailments but also provides overall strength to the body and its immune system. Especially children who use Homeopathy are protected from harm causing chemicals and their side effects. It is noted that Homeopathic children are naturally happy and healthy with a well balanced mind, body and spirit.

Do not remain untreated from an ailment only because you do not know if it is actually treated with Homeopathy. Homeopathy offers amazing treatment for most chronic and recurring ailments.

You may ask your personal query to Raj Kothuru (Homeopath) via email [email protected] or by phone 0425 761 826 / (03) 90775044 regarding easing your health problems. Raj Kothuru is a third generation Homeopath practicing in Melbourne and treats clients all over Australia through in-clinic, phone and online consultations
