#LifeMastery #SuccessGyan

1) Prachi Mayekar - Integrity - Living example of authencity: We all struggle because we forget that we are spiritual being on human journey. 

Power of Being you



Awareness changes everything.

We always say we are Thankful and Grateful - but sometime we do not connect. Keep right hand on yor heart and say - Thank you!

The Power of being You - what does it mean? 5 Principles - Empowered me to be the person - Inner Alchemy. 

Just because we are taking about serious things does not mean we need to be serious.

1) How many of you have failed in life or have not got what you want?

2) How many of you decided to bounce back with double effort?

3) Have you ever ended up doubting yourself or wondering if the direction you have chosen is right?

4) Do you believe that you are spiritual being in human journey, your power of creation is beyond the current reality? Where is the self- doubt coming from? - Conditioning, sub-conscious mind. 

We know it, but don't abide by it. 

We have seen the ocean and sea - waves rise and fall. Have you ever judged a wave for being bigger, smaller, not reaching the shore? No. The wave is still the ocean. Some are small, some are big. Who says you must reach the shore, or rise high? 

Remember - when you feel like small wave - don't forget you are the ocean. 

I am the ocean. 

Stay with who you are.

Reality is a concept. Success, Marriage, Happiness, - The meanings are all judgements said before you. 

It becomes a consensus reality.

Our power lies in redefining , I am creating a consensus reality. 

My Intention is magical. Because it creates my reality. 

We are all different forms but we are the same substance. Remember, there is no hell, people only come to help. When someone challenges you, they are telling you you are too small, rise. 

No matter how difficult challenges may seem - Thank people for it. 

Sometimes in life it is impossible, to go on. 

People break your trust, you make  wall, stopping all good happening to you. 

Unless there is flow, water becomes stagnant. You are river flowing into ocean. 

Resistance is futile. It only damages. It will only stay and isolate you. Whatever is brittle and dry is companion of death. That what is yielding is the companion of life. Knife cannot cut the water, water can drown the knife. Be Suttle, gentle. 

Someday we will be gone. But we will be remembered for our pure love. 

There is no hell, only help. Live every person you interact with better. 

I make everything beautiful by my presence. 

Phenominal Prachi, Buddha Sid and Amazing Divya. 

2) Dr. Meghana Dixit - IQ,SQ,AQ, EQ - Emotional mastery - Your mess is your message. 

Emotions Transform every area of your life. 



Only two emotions I knew was happiness and anger. Why emotions are critical in life, and what can happen when you work on it. 

Solar System. Life point of view - Our heart is the sun of our solar system. Everything else we want in life, revolve around your heart. Who gives the energy to all your planet. Our emotions are energy, that give life. It's wrong to say ignore your emotions. 

Five layers in our body - Annamaya Kosha, Pranamaya Kosha, Manomaya Kosha, Vijanamaya Kosha and Anandamaya Kosha. Physical, Energy Emotional, Wisdom and Bliss. 

Your body carries - Energy in motion which is emotion. M=Momentum. 

There are more than 80 chemicals in your body, which creates magnetic effect in your body. 

At the scale of 1-10, what is the energy you carry evey single day? O=Optimise it. We all look for people with highest energy. What is the energy I bring in every day? Ask yourself this question. 

We are all looking for T=Transformation. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed.  Energy in motion is emotion, is can only be Transformed, and cannot be changed. 

Everything in Universe is made up of energy. If you break down atom's what remain in energy. 

Whatever you perceive in the world, is the reflection of you who you are. Focus on the energy and emotion. The way you look at the world, is the perception created by past and behaviour. We look for energy from outside. Our energy is influenced by what is happening in the world. There is two way dialogue between you and the environment.  Environment - People, situation, things. What kind of energy are you getting form that space? 

There is a good vibe and bad vibes. Vibes are Vibrations. Our emotion creates frequency, and it attract to similar frequency. Gossipers are always with gossipers, achievers are always with achievers. Who you are depended on your emotions and energy. 

People say - you are glowing today or you are dull today? 

We emit electromagnetic frequency that connects outside energy. 

There is a good news and bad news. 

Bad news is environment is more powerful than your will power, 

Good news is I can contribute to my environment. We cannot change the outside world, but we can change our inner world. 

Maharshi effect - Transidental meditation. 

Your frequency can change your environment. 

O=Opportunity.

Create more opportunity 

N-=Nurture your environment. 

Create a better world. Few  things to set our daily emotions. Our emotions are our manure. Better the quality of our manure, better the fruits. When fruits and flowers are not good we curse emotions.

To Do.

  1. Set clear intention in the morning daily - how do I want to feel today
  2. Activate superior chemicals in the body by writing gratitude
  3. How do I help someone today
  4. Write your wins of the day - every day
Prepare for S- Success. 

Emotions - Momentum - Optimise - Transformation  - Influence-  Opportunity - Nurture -  Success. 

3. Blair Singer - Code of Honor  - Magic and Mastery in Motion.




How many of you have said something, which 10 seconds later you had wished you had not said it?
How many of you realise that it will happen again?

When emotions go up, our intelligence go down. Brain has uncanny way, letting it make bad decision. 

Biggest transformational tool  - Have a code of honor. 

Who is the worst enemy - me? We sabotage all that we want to do. How many want to become a better person? 

7 billion people in the world.  Your presence can make a difference. 

Jude - 10 commandments is the code of Honor, Buddisam - , Quarn - Manner of behavior. Every countries and institutions have it. 

Bed Rock of Rules - Foundation of who we want to become. - Is the code of Honor.

If you struggle, mood swings go high and low through out the day, you are normal. Only truly insane people think they are not insane. 

Marriage - both are infuriated - we wish there was a switch. How do we keep in check? 

To get your better self come first, help make right decision at the right time, 

Write three Code of Honor for each of this: 
  • Self - Honesty, Health, 
  • Relationship - Love, No Exit, Clear , We start together - we finish together,
  • Business - Never abandon a team member in need, How to sell, 

We need this because we want to get bigger.  Law of attraction comes with the bigness. Example Sun. As we become bigger all things good and bad attract us.  We get more opportunity, and our issues become time. 

How does it work ?  - Put one value as an example - Honesty - how do you maintain it in your life? You make a rule from the value.  - Always tell the truth, and have people tell me the truth everytime. Always tell the truth, and be willing to receive it. 

Put your best foot forward everyday. In the absence of rules, people make up their own rules. If you put them in one time, it can be complete chaos. 

5 rules or 3 rules is plenty. Protect yourself with your code of honor. We start together - we finish together - you will always have my back.

Be your best self every single day. 

4. Shiny - Nutrition, life style




Stop medication. Focus on mindset - gut.

Two things - Hope and faith. 

One size don't fit all. 

Immunity is very important - and it's critical to take care of our health. 

There are several aspects of being healthy. Energy is very important. 

Food may be essential as fuel to your body but good food s fuel for the soul. 

Important nutrients: Carbohydrates, Proteins, fats and micronutrients. 

Food matters and there is a lot beyond it. 

A healthy diet plate - 50% Fruits and vegetables; 20% Protein Rich foods and 25% Fibre Rich Carbohydrates. 

Hydration is very important - we need to drink adequate water.

  • Helps breathing
  • Brain boost
  • Blood normalizer
  • Healthy heart
  • Temperature Adjustment
  • Weight loss
  • Healthy Skin
Cooking methods: Baking.

Fad Diets come and go - eating little dont work,  what works is fuelling your body properly. Or brain will be effected. 

Being slim doesn't always mean you're healthy. 

You should be able to push, pull, squat. 

No Body Shaming - Don't do it knowingly or unknowingly. -

Consistency is the key. 

There is a difference between Weight loss and Fat loss. WL slow metabolism, FL increases metabolism.  FL is good WL is not good. WL is ball part figure, but key is FL.

The clear skin diet. - Support healthy skin. 

Gut health is very important - sunlight, butter milk, reduce stress. 

Allegies or Intolerances - Find it out and remove. Pay attention. Every move counts - stop using elevator.  Don't miss out on the Physical activity, do it consistently. You'r confidence will improve. 

Don't miss out on Sleep. Sleep wake cycle is important.  Go to bed by 10 and wake up by 5 or 6. This is the foundation of wellness. 

Your digestion, intestine fuel the brain. 


Mental health - Excelling, Thriving, Surviving, Struggling, In Crisis - 

Taking time for Self-care is not being selffish - Physical, social, mental, spiritual. 

5 Surendran Jayasekar - Success Gyan

Thoughts - Words - Actions - Determines your personality - which decided your personal reality. 

If you are thinking the same , the end result will be same. To change Thoughts you need to change your belief system. We can holistically grow in all areas of life. It is possible. 

Important is taking Action steps.

How to live a holistic life. 

2013 - Gave up on self. Different people give up on self at different point. Had given up on health and wealth. 



Result of following the principles. Help improve relationship, wealth and health. 

7 areas to live a holistic life
  1. Health
  2. Relationship
  3. Wealth
  4. Business/Career
  5. Recreation
  6. Contribution
  7. Spirituality
Most people live an 'Or' life, thinking we cannot have it all. 

Being passionate and immersed in life is stupidity. Then you should not have family. Every aspect of your life is important. 

There are two approaches to living - 'OR'  Vs. '&' 

Live a '& ' life. 

Most people lose the battle even before it begins.

Whoever says you cannot have it all is a pathetic role models. 

Definition of true success

True Success - Tangible Achievements + Inner Fulfilments. 

The thought that it will lead to burn out is wrong, life is not a clock. One hour of quality time or half an hour is enough. The quality of time you spend is important. 

It's about clarity. 
  • Low Achievement and low fulfilment will lead to depression - Accept responsibility
  • High Achievement and low fulfilment will lead to dejected - Be happy
  • Low Achievement and high fulfilment will lead to deception - Don't overdose on learning, spirituality, It's toxicity. Accept responsibility. 
  • High Achievement and High fulfilment will lead to True Success. - Accept responsibility

    Spirituality can be achieved only till you conquer your physical. True spirituality is to live a life of abundance. 

    5 ingredients to create a Holistic life:

    1. Clarity of goals - have '&' goals, work on it all, and not 'or' goal - i.e. Can't have it all. 
    2. Mastering Time - Or life - go with the flow Vs. Team & System in every area of life. Work will never reduce if you are an ambitious person, don't be slave to your profession. Don't drown in the flow. 
    3. Mastering Money - Three aspects - 
      1. receiving - by building skills, improving capability. It is making money. 
      2. experiencing - Use for health , contribution, relationship, recreation. 
      3. retaining money - Have a discipline of saving and investing. 
    4. Gaining Knowledge
      1. Limited Vs. Expansive
      2. Reactive vs. Proactive
    5. Living with Discipline - 
      1. Doing what is necessary, whether you like it or not. 
      2. First it might be boring, but over a period of time, it will be interesting. 
      3. Most people cannot access because they live a life of sincere laziness. 
      4. Sincere Laziness vs. Drama-less Discipline - You pretend you care, if you are committed you do it. No nakara, no bakra. 
    May my voice echo in your ears until you decide to live an '&' life. 

    7 Puja Puneet -  Relationship - Treasure box of transformational tool.

    Strategy to neutralise toxic people

    Saobana - I can see the beauty in you. - Train the brain, to see the beauty in all .




    We can be as happy as our weakest relationship.

    We become the person we think of the most.  

    Relationship with self, God and others. 

    Whole in the heart - will not fill, until you get your desires right. Husband said - 'There is nothing to respect'. Wanted to get respect. 

    To work on self - grow your trust. Your conscious mind and your subconscious mind should be aligned. 

    Need is to build who you are. Become super duper honest by becoming aligned with who you are and who you want to be. Work on your own integrity. Gossip become half. 

    Start to grow your trust, commitment muscle. When you respect you, world will start respecting you. When you say something, mean it.  

    Start working on your self. 

    Relationship with cosmic energy - I am a special child of God - Build a relationship of faith and surrender. Gratitude. Have conversation with higher energy. I can fix others, you help with me with it. When we set the write intention, all of it will turn into self fulfilling. More empowered you are you have more peace. 

    If you are unable to change yourself, how will you be able to change others?

    I am responsible for my own happiness, I no longer want to depend on others, I want to take that remote control back. 

    What we say to ourselves after others have told is what matters. Have your own thought process. Be responsible for your happiness. The higher the expectation you have from others and if you are unable to manage the disappointment, is what matters. Take the responsibility back - don't expect others to be mind readers, ask. 

    Challenging relationship - Disguised angels. 

    Emotions they bring - angry, sorrow - put a process/plan around - so that the emotions don't come. Create deep acceptance. You will see your heart grow. Have new conversation with self. 

    You hold own to your peace and power and don't let others do.

    Under anger there is hurt. Hurt people hurt people. Learn to process your anger, guilt, shame, hurt. When we turn people pleaser it wont work for us. Setting boundaries help. It's okay to have good guilt. Create new way - worry and anxiety - build relationship with God. 

    Each one of us have empty box, and we have the right to fill it. Learn to say 'No'. Take to give. If we keep giving, we become a box of negativity. 

    Jealous is another emotion that ruins relationship.  If you feel others re jealous of you - Say 'Thank You God ' - You are in a place where people can be jealous of you. Be willing to reprocess our guilt. First relationship you need to prioritise is your relationship with self. 

    Zoot, zoot energy - Bless you. Protects us by creating a barrier from others negativity coming into you.  


    8. Dr. Velumani - Frugal - Thyrocare. 

    Frugal is different from miser - spending where it is needed.

    Two types of spending - Investment and expenditure. Invest.


    There are a million reasons why adopting a frugal lifestyle is essential right now.

    Frugality isn’t a means to an end. It’s not meant to be extreme or deprive you of anything. It’s a powerful tool that can get you where you want to go faster but practicing frugality as a lifestyle will take you further than you ever thought possible.
    Dr.Velumani shared his life story and emphasized on how Frugality played a major role in his success.

    Frugal - if you are rich you need to be wise, if not rich be careful. 


    It gives lot of power. 

    If you can't buy and buy it is stupidity. 

    Frugality saves you from EMI. Before 1950 there was no credit card, no stress. 

    Heaven is clutter free brain, fear fear heat and clear brain. 

    Never try to please the neighbour. Worry only about you. 

    Knowledge gives courage and courage gives power. 

    Frugality gives you security.  It gives you return, and makes you more powerful. 

    If your eat for your intestine it's 2 dollar,  for your tongue - 10 dollar, for eyes - 20 dollar, for nose - 50 dollar. 

    Simplicity. If you are simple you are powerful. You can sleep peacefully. 

    Money and Honey are similar. Honey collected by honey bee, and Money bee is collected by money bee. Money is a poison beyond a point. 

    Do what is right. 

    9.  Thaddeus Lawrence - Fitness 

    Consistency in Exercise regime. 


    Staying fit and healthy is something all of us aspire for. No one wants to be unhealthy or sick - Right?

    Despite the desire to stay Fit, have you ever wondered why people fall back into the trap of overeating, not exercising and taking care of their body?

    Well, as much as it might seem it’s more about food and exercise, most of us fail to understand that it’s majorly the MINDSET.

    Studies show that no matter how much you train and no matter how strict you are on a certain diet, if you don’t have the RIGHT (Champion) mindset, you are inevitably going to fall back into getting back to your old lifestyle habits.


    Doing. 

    Fitness is something that we do. 

    1. Gobi Dessert - 
    2. Atacama Desert , Chile - Salt flat - ocean became desert -It is important to know what you dont know. It is good to know what you know. Radiation.
    3. Antartica - Polar Desert - If you want to go far, go together. 
    4. Sahara Desert - Egypt - Hottest - To get to your finish line, first get to your start line. Put your shoes on. 

    Physical fitness has long lasting, positive effect on your brain and body.

    Forms the basis of dynamic and creative 

    Claustrophobia,

    DNF - Did not finish.

    The quality of your life depends on the quality of your distinctions. 

    Difference between wellness, health and fitness.  

    10. Dr. M.V. Priyank -  Healing. 


    Here are the takeaways from Priyank at the Life Mastery Summit Today!

    The universe will keep handing you the same lessons, the same relationships, the same type of love and the same type of pain until you relaise that the common denominator is you!

    You see the thing is, until you learn to love yourself more, you will continue to accept the love that mirrors how you truly feel about yourself.

    The answer to everything that you desire is within you!

    When something is out of harmony, bringing it back to harmony is healing. 

    You can work hard or work Intelligent. How do you want to work? Hard or intelligent?

    Do you recharge yourself as much as you recharge your phone?

    Dont let your batter finish. Self care is necessary and not luxury.

    5. & 12. Surendran Jayasekar - Contribution

    Follow a cause and make that a life purpose. 

    Bringing the world's best to India and Taking India's best to the World. 



    It was so heartwarming to listen to Suren talk about the Power of Charity and Giving. There’s always enough for everyone in this universe and that’s what the Law of Abundance talks about. Unfortunately most people are conditioned to believe that the Universe is scarce and there’s not enough for all.

    FALSE!

    The ever abundant universe is always giving and when you GIVE- in any form- Love, Money, Education, Food, anything, it is the Universe using you as a medium to Give. You will never be exhausted by giving. You only raise your vibration when you give and especially when you give without an expectation.

    We all are one and doing a generous deed is literally you lifting up yourself and the whole of humanity.


    Mahatria Ra - 2015 to London. Karan Hasija, Rajiv and Gary. Shared room with Vishen Lakani - Kuala Lumpur.

    Life is bigger than what you think. 

    Have a contribution. Your Mess - Can be your message to the world. 

    Contribution to Cause. 

    Aathma Dialysis Centre, Maatram Foundation - Sujith Kumar, Infosys. - Orphans, girl child. 

    Find a cause you are emotionally connected with, let that be the reason you wake up every day.

    Purposeful living + Contribution to a cause = Magical Life. 

    To Make India the Training capital of the world.

    Law of Dharma - If you live your purpose, nature will conspire to bring people & resources to fulfil your purpose.

    Chinha spoke about the Importance and art of networking. Building relationships is the most crucial aspect of life- both personally and professionally.

    In order for us to have meaningful relationships in life we have to work on feeling worthy because only when you truly feel worthy will you feel like an equal in any relationship. Feeling like an equal means to neither put anyone on the pedestal or to look down on anyone. This forms a strong foundation for relationship building or networking.

    Also having a true genuine connection takes a relationship a long way. Having a certain agenda while establishing a relationship can shrink all the possibilities that the relationship could possibly unfold.

    Everyone has something to offer and when you approach every relationship or a person with an open mind, it will help you discover way more than you think was possible.

    Our successes are build with people.  Network = Networth. 

    Three mistakes when networking:

    • Networking with an agenda - pushes people away from you. You fix this by forgetting your personal agenda. - Be friendly, general - focus on being useful. BNI meet. Ask - How can I help you. 
    • Networking only with people more/less experienced with you - networking upwards - Biases. Ensure you don't miss anyone. No one is unimportant. Connections from heart last longer. Discover the value of each person you talk to. 
    • Networking in desperation - You can sense that.   Shared values, goals and interest. You need to nurture your connections. Start networking before you need it. It needs time. Start early, be proactive, stay connected, be genuinely interested. Don't keep building new, nurture through out life. Bonds are created for life.
    Networking online - Send message with request, be early to video calls and online summits. 

    True value of networking lies in helping others. 

    13. Sid - Focus and Discipline. 



    Put optimal input and get maximum output. 

    Definition: - 5 ideas and concepts. 

    Muscle Memory. 

    'Being in the 'flow state' without bothering too much about outcome.'

    If you don't fill your day with high priority actions, it will be filled with low priority distractions. 

    How do we get into the flow state? We cannot be robots - we go up and down, but we can optimise it. 

    1. Clarity : When you know what your goals are, you will see the opportunities. 20 Goals per day, you will have the power to say No to distractions. If you have the power to know where you want to go. This is where focus begin. 
    2. Cycles : Inspiration from nature, life, universe, - all in cycle. We wake up and sleep.  Create and Recreate. Make things cyclical. Replace negative cyclical habits and install positive cyclical habits, there will be productivity. It comes from Clarity and balance. 4 day work week - focus on Top 3 tasks per day. Re-Creation, Family day, spiritual day. There will be Harmony. 
    3. Compounding : Compound Interest in efforts that you put. Exponential growth - Warren Buffet. If something is working, take it sometime longer. Don't quit. Concept called Fractals - Imagine a triangle - Input -) Process -) Output : IPO - 80-20 principle. Traffic - Leads - Sales. Focus on top 20% that you need to do to get healthy - exercise, eat well. Relationship with spouse - listen, quality time; Create wealth - Investing - where? Long term Consistency, beats short term . If something is not working - course correct. 
    4. Clutter : Have less but the best and do more. Things around you have energy. Physical, Digital, People. Declutter your space. Physical Junk, is the reason of emotional junk. When you change the vibe, environment change, so the productivity change. Things have the influence on the way you think. The pop ups in our life are killing our productivity, and it's an addiction. 
    5. Consequence: Every action in our life, we have to face the consequence. There are degrees of consequences. Understand the 2nd and 3rd degree consequence of your action. Clarity in goals - will help save time, energy, money and resources. 
    Be in the flow state without minding too much of the outcome. 

    Internal vs. External Motivation - once we are back to life, we may not remember all these. 

    Small boy keen to play foot ball, was in the bench, team was progressing, he was not given a chance to play. Final match, the boy requested that he be given to play; team was loosing. He was given 2 minutes, he plays in such a way, that everyone is blown away. His father used to take him to practise. 

    After the win Coach asked what happened - he said, my father was blind, he passed away last week, I want him to see me win. 

    When you find your reason, why, you don't need focus or discipline. In the Eon's of time, we are living just a dash of time, what matters is how we play the game, and how we can be in the zone, we are for a long enough time, and say we have made difference. May you be driven internally. 

    The emotions in the sessions today was too many. We all have something so much bigger. 

    Integrate the learnings:

    Decide the top three areas you need to focus on, three action points under each - 9 things you are going to walk away with. 

    • Finance -stream line/organise; passive income. 
    • Health - Fitness
    • Relationship - Strong. 
    Words of Wisdom:

    1. Puja: Digest it all, the moment that has set in today. Make next week important, Habit tracker - actionable steps. 
    2. Thaddeus: Morning memories, don't mean anything, the experiences set emotions, which let to the person. Thoughts will go. What is left will depend on what doors you open, what you create. Else today will just be another wonderful memory. 
    3. Prachi: Emotional roller coster, Mementomory. Someday everyone you love will go. This life time, is the trip your soul has taken to planet earth. Live this life, as it will end someday. Every single day, enjoy and grab. Stay on the path and never quit. 
    4. Sawan: We have been in the process of mastering our life. Benjamin, ''Tell me and I forget, teach me and I understand,  involve me and I learn. " Get involved, there is amazing life awaiting you.
    5. Meghana : What is the level of your energy - Long day, and energy level is still high; This day help you grow, evolve. Energy in motion is emotion. Success is the number of days you are truely happy. You are part of learning group. Take action and make your life a success.
    6. Priyank: We give lot of importance to our mobile, 10% of that attention give to life. You can buy more beautiful things.
    7. Chinha : Environment is greater than will power.  Will power is like battery. This can be an amazing session. Let this tribe be the winds beneath to the wings. 
    8. Shiny: Learning a lot from all the masters, and wish they taught all these in school. Things are not going to change overnight. All are WIP, don't judge others, but be supportive and hold space for them. Make best use of tomorrow. Focus and be Consistent. Consistency is the key.

    Moola Mantra

     

    Om

    Sat Chit Ananda Parabrahma

    Purushothama Paramatma

    Sri Bhagavathi Sametha

    Sri Bhagavathe Namaha

    This mantra evokes the living God, asking protection and freedom from all sorrow and suffering.

    Whenever you chant the Moolamantra even without knowing the meaning of it, that itself carries power. But when you know the meaning and chant with that feeling in your heart then the energy would flow million times more powerful. Therefore it is essential to know the meaning of the Mantra when you use it.

    Simplified meaning of the moola mantra 

     Om - We are calling on the highest energy, of all there is

    Sat - The formless

    Chit - Consciousness of the universe

    Ananda- Pure love, bliss and joy

    Para brahma --The supreme creator

    Purushothama -Who has incarnated in human form to help guide mankind

    Paramatma -Who comes to me in my heart, and becomes my inner voice whenever I ask

    Sri Bhagavati - The divine mother, the power aspect of creation

    Same tha- Together within

    Sri Bhagavate -The Father of creation which is unchangeable and permanent

    Namaha- I thank you and acknowledge this presance in my life. I ask for your guidance at all times

    Full Meaning

    Om Om has 100 different meanings. It is said 'In the beginning was the Supreme word and the word created every thing. That word is Om'. If you are meditating in silence deeply, you can hear the sound Om within. The whole creation emerged from the sound Om. It is the primordial sound or the Universal sound by which the whole universe vibrates. Om also means inviting the higher energy. This divine sound has the power to create, sustain and destroy, giving life and movement to all that exist.

    Sat Chit Ananda

    Sat The all penetrating existence that is formless, shapeless, omnipresent, attribute less, and quality less aspect of the Universe. It is the Un manifest. It is experienced as emptiness of the Universe. We could say it is the body of the Universe that is static. Every thing that has a form and that can be sensed, evolved out of this Un manifest. It is so subtle that it is beyond all perceptions. It can only be seen when it has become gross and has taken form. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. We are the effect and Universe is the cause and the cause manifests itself as the effect.

    Chit The Pure Consciousness of the Universe that is infinite, omni-present manifesting power of the Universe. Out of this is evolved everything that we call Dynamic energy or force. It can manifest in any form or shape. It is the consciousness manifesting as motion, as gravitation, as magnetism, etc. It is also manifesting as the actions of the body, as thought force. It is the Supreme Spirit.

    Ananda Bliss, love and friendship nature of the Universe. When you experience either the Supreme Energy in this Creation (Sat) and become one with the Existence or experience the aspect of Pure Consciousness (Chit), you enter into a state of Divine Bliss and eternal happiness (Ananda). This is the primordial characteristic of the Universe, which is the greatest and most profound state of ecstasy that you can ever experience when you relate with your higher Consciousness.

    Parabrahma The Supreme Being in his Absolute aspect; one who is beyond space and time. It is the essence of the Universe that is with form and without form. It is the Supreme creator.

    Purushothama This has different meanings. Purusha means soul and Uthama means the supreme, the Supreme spirit. It also means the supreme energy of force guiding us from the highest world. Purusha also means Man, and Purushothama is the energy that incarnates as an Avatar to help and guide Mankind and relate closely to the beloved Creation.

    Paramatma The supreme inner energy that is immanent in every creature and in all beings, living and non-living. It's the indweller or the Antaryamin who resides formless or in any form desired. It's the force that can come to you whenever you want and wherever you want to guide and help you.

    Sri Bhagavathi The female aspect, which is characterized as the Supreme Intelligence in action, the Power (The Shakti). It is referred to the Mother Earth (Divine Mother) aspect of the creation.

    Sametha Together or in communion with.

    Sri Bhagavathe The Male aspect of the Creation, which is unchangeable and permanent.

    Namaha Salutations or prostrations to the Universe that is Om and also has the qualities of Sat Chit Ananda, that is omnipresent, unchangeable and changeable at the same time, the supreme spirit in a human form and formless, the indweller that can guide and help in the feminine and masculine forms with the supreme intelligence. I seek your presence and guidance all the time.

    INDIA AT 100: CHAPTER SPACE

     Rejected.

    “Earth is the cradle of Mankind, but one cannot stay in the cradle forever.” - Konstantin Tsiolkovsky pioneer of astronautic theory.

    Although humanity has lived on Earth, mankind is spacefaring and Space Inspire the Youth! Without risk, we would have remained in our caves, but we have come a long way daring to see what lies beyond our immediate sight. Human Beings have always aspired to explore the unexplored and to understand what is not understood.

    With plans to get out of Earth before there is world war 3, millions of people moved out of earth, and it was not an easy task. Colonies were built in the outer space, with temporary habitats created, terra-farming introduced, food and power generation made possible, atmosphere warmed up and made breathable. Solar powered factories were set up to meet human needs. Voyager Station created artificial gravity using centrifugal force. Water was available, though not in plenty as in Earth.

    Until there was a need to escape the earth permanently, because of various disasters, pandemics and wars; these were used as Vacation Homes. Space Hotels were set up by different countries, and private players.  Loving travel and space, but not being an astronaut, this was the best place to be in. There were vehicles circling the Earth, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto.

    The hotels took the shape of a Ferris wheel, spinning to simulate gravity in its pods. Though its form was unusual compared to Earth hotels, its rooms and amenities were largely familiar to regular travellers. There were luxurious accommodations for up to 600 guests — including villas available for purchase as vacation homes — a gourmet restaurant, pub, gymnasium, and entertainment center, a  standard high-end resort, just in space. ‘Aircations’ (cruises in the sky) have become popular. Space travel is reasonably priced, although stays in ‘Spatels’ (space hotels) are still reserved for the relatively well off and week-long stays in Space is for wealthy.

    This is where we spend the 50th Anniversary of Space day celebrated annually on the first Friday of May, with an aim to promote the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). An unofficial educational holiday created in 1997 by Lockheed Martin, this day coincided with the 100th Independence Day Celebration in India as well.

    As my nephew was an astronaut, he had concessional pass for 5 family members, and me being a travel freak, did not let go of the opportunity. He was getting wedded to his colleague and astronaut, specialising in medical research. Wedding was at a Spatel in space. Both of them had completed their astronaut training from Devanahalli, Karnataka; but with a gap of 15 years. Soon after the wedding, both of them would join the space habitat orbiting Saturn. It was the first of the kind around Saturn, though he was involved in similar assignment on Moon and Mars.  The space station environment presented a variety of challenges to human habitability, including short-term problems such as the limited supplies of air, water and food and the need to manage waste heat, and long-term ones such as weightlessness and relatively high levels of ionizing radiation. These conditions created long-term health problems for space-station inhabitants, including muscle atrophy, bone deterioration, balance disorders, eyesight disorders, and elevated risk of cancer.

    Their job is to address these issues, so that future space habitats  could be designed for occupation beyond the weeks or months that current missions typically last. Possible solutions included the creation of artificial gravity by a rotating structure, the inclusion of radiation shielding, and the development of on-site agricultural ecosystems. Some designs might even accommodate large numbers of people, becoming essentially "cities in space" where people would reside semi-permanently. Humanoid robots were first used for a better understanding of what weightlessness and radiation do to the human body during long durations in space.

    Saturn was chosen because, scientists believe several moons within our solar system have significant subsurface liquid water deposits. Saturn's moon Enceladus and Jupiter's moon Europa are two examples. Both appear to have salty, liquid oceans covered with thick layers of ice at the surface. The existence of these geysers also tells scientists that these moons have a source of energy, perhaps from gravitational forces or radiation — energy that keeps the oceans liquid under the ice and could even support life.

    In parallel, he is also involved in researching on life in space, and says that  we are not alone. There are other solar systems, universe and galaxy similar to ours, and then there are Kepler – 438B (472.9LY) , Kepler – 136F (557.7LY), Kepler 62e(1,200 LY) Kepler 62F1207 LY.

    He would keep saying:

    I am restless. I am athirst for far-away things.

    My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance.

    O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute!

    ~             Rabindranath Tagore

    Interested in flying and space, he had first thought of moving to US to join NASA soon after his schooling. Around that time, there were multiple projects by ISRO, with mission to Mars, moon, setting up of own space station amidst others. He was part of the 20 tonne India’s own space station, that was set up as a follow-up programme of the Gaganyaan mission. India did not join the International Space Station program. The new own space station was capable of harbouring a crew for 15–20 days at a time, placed in a low Earth orbit of 400 km altitude and was capable of harbouring three humans. The team that he was part of in ISRO  developed spacecraft docking and berthing technology, SPADEX, with systems like signal analysis equipment, high-precision videometer for navigation, docking system electronics and real-time decision making for landing systems. As part of SPADEX, they launched 2 small satellites for testing. This technology was crucial for a space station as it enabled transfer of humans from one vehicle or spacecraft to another. He had his training at ISRO's Human Space Flight Centre , Glavcosmos, which is a subsidiary of the Russian state corporation Roscosmos, and Gagarin Research & Test Cosmonaut Training Centre   for abnormal landing in various terrains including forests, rivers and sea. This was the beginning, but then there was no looking back. They were trained to have packed food, sleep standing, put through rigorous exercises, which never mattered as he loved, space explorations searching outer space with the aids of astronomy and space technology. He believed that we have come a long way, though there is lot more unexplored, and would quote “what we know are like drops in the ocean, what we don’t is vast like the sea, space is much bigger than the sea’s and ocean”

    The first rocket that was able to fly high enough to be considered in space was the V-2 Missile, weapon developed by German scientists in World War 2. The technology  used in rockets in early space exploration. In October 1957, the Soviet Union launched the first Satellite Sputnik – 1 into low Earth Orbit, marking the start of the ‘Space Age’, a few week after Sputnik 2 had a dog named Lika – first passenger for space journey. On April 12 1961, Russian astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first human in space, orbiting the Earth once in a space craft named Vostok -1.  In response, the United States launched its first satellite Explorer – 1 on January 31, 1958. This started the ‘space race.’ When NASA- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration opened for business on October 1, 1958, it accelerated the work already started on human and robotic spaceflight. NASA's first high profile program was Project Mercury, an effort to learn if humans could survive in space. This was followed by Project Gemini, which used spacecraft built for two astronauts to perfect the capabilities needed for the national objective of a human trip to the Moon by the end of the 1960s. In 1969, Neil Armstrong became the 1st man to walk on moon, on the Space shuttle Apollo 11. Dr Vikram Ambala Sarabhai, following the successful launch of Sputnik by Russia, had said, “There are some who question the relevance of space activities in a developing nation. To us, there is no ambiguity of purpose. We do not have the fantasy of competing with the economically advanced nations in the exploration of the moon or the planets or manned spaceflight. But we are convinced that if we are to play a meaningful role nationally, and in the community of nations, we must be second to none in the application of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society.” The money we are spending now on space program will help in the long run. He thrust upon the Indian government the need for a comprehensive space programme. The Indian National Committee for Space Research created in 1962, became the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Under his leadership, the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station was established with a successful launch in 1963. The first Indian satellite Aryabhatta was sent into orbit in 1975 from Russian rocket launch using a Kosmos – 3 M launch vehicle.  India became proud custodian of remote sensing technology, VIKAS liquid fuel, well equipped Data space centre, Satellite navigation system, GSLV rockets and operational vehicles. Chandrayan 1 in 2008 was set up to embark on moon.  Mars Mission was also set up to study the universe from single platform.

    Outside India in 2021 space tourist focused missions gained momentum with new beginning in space tourism. Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, Jeff Bezos with Blue Origin and SpaceX each flew their first tourist-focused missions. Roscosmos (the Russian federal space agency) had two sets of space tourists into space, including a mission with Space Adventures. Russian film crew started real time shooting of dramas on ISS – International Space Station. Sirisha Bandla from India had joined Branson and five others in their first journey to the edge of space from New Mexico. She became the third Indian-origin woman to fly into space after Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams. The only Indian ever to fly into space has been Wing Commander (Retd) Rakesh Sharma who flew on a Russian mission in 1984. He was an Indian Air Force Pilot then.  Rakesh Sharma gave a thumbs up to India’s plans of sending astronauts into space using Gaganyaan saying ‘a manned space flight is a natural corollary of every space programme that has attained a level of maturity.’ Then we had 16,000 strong space agency which used the country’s heaviest launcher the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III or GSLV Mk-III, this 640 tonne, 43 metre tall rocket also dubbed the `Bahuballi’ send a crew into space.

    With Gaganyaan India became the 4th country to send people to space. Many ventures around moon continued in the path of Chandrayaan-1 launched by ISRO in Oct 2008 and across Mars with Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM)/Mangalyaan. Exploration of the Moon and Mars is intertwined.  Finding from Moon was implemented in Mars as well. Aditya L1 was set up to study sun. RLV-TD was the first space plain with low-cost access to space, created by Indian space transportation system. Space odyssey was given prominence to explore the unexplored. Research was also around Abell 2256 Galaxy.  Along with Government support, private players were part of space programmes and bodies like IspA, IN-SPACe ,NSIL, NGPEs were set up to expedite the space journey who were instrumental in devising new generation of spacecraft and launch systems capable of carrying astronauts to low-Earth orbit. Taking its cue from science fiction films like "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "Interstellar," NASA, ROSCOSMOS, there were various projects set up.

    Space Exploration need huge investment – but facilitates, enhanced communications, television channels, internet service, connect different parts of the countries, Kidney dialysis and the new artificial heart have been based on technology found in space shuttle. Programmable Heart Pacemaker were first developed In the 1970s using NASA satellite electrical system. Image processing used in CAT scanners and MRI technology in hospitals worldwide came from technology development to computer improved pictures of the moon for the Apollo programs. Joystick evolved from Apollo Lunar Rover, used for Computer Games, cranes, Mining Trucks, Underwater unmanned vehicles. Micro gravity semiconductor material can produce chips as much as thousand times more powerful than anything now available. Pharmaceuticals produced in space with zero gravity have purities far higher than any produced-on Earth, There is an element known as Helium 3 that is found on the moon, and could power the world for at least 1,000 years when we are able to use it. Thus space exploration helps find, Simple solutions to world’s most complex problems working across space and time. Human and machine work side by side –with artificial intelligence, integrated solutions are delivered. Information is shared at the speed of lightning. It helps in addressing global challenges ; monitoring global warming, developing capabilities of Global protection, Space debris removal, Building mutual trust and understanding among nations.

    Understanding the benefits of investing in space projects, many countries started being part of the space odyssey. Now the space is crowded with Earth’s trash.

    “We need to see ourselves as Earthlings, as we share the planet. That's the only way we're going to move forward.” – Mae Jemison. Best would be for all nations to collaborate and work as Eathlings, but then countries have their own separate missions.

    Here is how the space is crowded:

    The International Space Station (ISS) is the third brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon. It is divided into two main sections, the Russian Orbital Segment (ROS) and the US Orbital Segment (USOS). Then other countries started having their own space stations, with our own, Indian Human Spaceflight Programme. Among other things, it includes two major satellite systems, INSAT for communication, television broadcasting and meteorological services, and Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) system for resources monitoring and management. Two satellite launch vehicles Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) to place IRS and INSAT class satellites in orbit. In addition to Gaganyan and Mangalyan, there are projects on Asteroid Mission: To understand the formation of Solar System, how water and organic material came to Earth to find the way to reduce the possibility of future impact with earth and exploring possibilities of mining and resupply for space mission. Then there are the Interstellar comet, Cosmic iceberg, Alien space wreck, shaggy-dog mysteries of the sky continue to mesmerize astronomers including my nephew. Various Projects like Lyra that sends spacecraft to reach interstellar visitors including ‘Oumuamua. Project Lyra makes plans for spacecraft that could chase down ‘Oumuamua and other interstellar visitors to our solar system. Oumuamua was a chip off a faraway planet belonging to another star. Similar to it collisions with asteroids break off and keep moving through space. There are various telescopes too installed for studies. A lot of crowding is also from the broadband internet and telecommunication satellites.

    Right now, there's no strong societal framework to force current space explorers to be more inclusive. The cornerstone of space law, the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, cherishes equity, but it's designed to govern countries, not companies or individuals. It doesn't do much to level the playing field for less-developed countries. It basically says that nobody can deny you access to space but doesn't guarantee that anybody will give you access to space. India, along with US, China, Russia has been working towards having a strong space law in place. With more nations joining the space club, along with commercial partners and many smaller agencies from the existing countries who are already a major participant, cooperative endeavour would be the key for sustainability of Space the final frontier.


    INDIA AT 100: Transport – Air

     My article - Rejected. :-(

    The sky is’nt the limit, The sky has no limit. – Sarah Barker, Astrophysicist.

    As a journalist, it was my dream to cover the 100th Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi. My journey from Ladakh to New Delhi was interrupted by a frantic call informing me of my mother’s cardiac arrest and her hospital admission. It was imminent to make that emergency trip to Kanyakumari via. Thiruvananthapuram. Was fortunate to discover that the ‘supersonic flight’ seats were available, and with humanoids support all arrangements were done instantly.

    I landed, and then opted for the flying taxi car to take me to Kanyakumari in under 30 minutes. Meeting my mother at the recovery room was a huge relief and she in her usual best directed me to make my duty count and head back to New Delhi to cover the celebrations. As I flew back from Kanyakumari airport to New Delhi, was reminiscing the possibilities created by air travel.

    Coming together – Beginning:

    From the early days of walking, riding horses to flying, humans have come a long way. During the days of Ramayana, Ravana had abducted Sita to Lanka in his personalised air travel machine – ‘the Pushpak Viman’.  Kites were flown to test the weather; hot air balloons were used for first human flight and along with gliders were used for different purposes.

    The Wright brothers were credited with inventing, building, and flying the world's first successful airplane in 1903 marking the beginning of the aviation industry. Air Mail transport system by the U.S. Postal Service and Charles Lindbergh’s successful solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean followed. India was always a strategic location for stop-over of air-services and therefore was one among the first few countries to take to aviation. The first mail flight from Allahabad in 1911 eventually led to the eminent late. JRD Tata setting up the country’s first TATA airline in 1932.

    Dr. V.M. Ghatge, Chief Designer at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), had the Mock-up of the first indigenously designed Aircraft, the HT - 2 Trainer.

    Keeping together – Progress:

    In 1952 civil aviation was nationalized it was once one of the top airlines in the world. Then there was liberalisation of bilateral rights, high aviation cost, mismanagement, corruption, all of which led to the downfall of Air India. In1989 the government came up with Open Sky Policy. Licences were issued for capacity building of Indian aviation sector. Countries first private flight operated in 1992 by East West Travel and Trade Links Private Limited. In 1995 Tahkiyudeen Wahid its owner was shot, it’s expansion plans were thwarted, and they wound up in 1997. Jet airways led by Naresh Goyal took to sky in May 1993. With the suspected underworld links, hijacking of airplanes, one of the key questions was which ministry should provide security clearance to air operators – Home affairs or civil aviation. Home affairs was entrusted with intelligence inquiries. Jet airways, Deccan Aviation, Kingfisher Airlines, IndiGo and SpiceJet then became key players.  In 2014, the Tatas made a re-entry into the aviation section – as a minority partner in Air Asia, then launched ‘Vistara airlines’ a joint venture with Singapore airlines. With denationalisation, in 2021, the Tatas repurchased Air India.

    Being brought up in North India, when we moved south, I had been missing North Indian delicacies. When I went to US for my post-graduation in the early 90’s – which took two days to reach – with couple of change in flights, and day light saving; I was awestruck to see all North Indian foods available there. Thanks to freight and cold storage.

    Dr Vikram Sarabhai had thrust upon the Indian government the need for a comprehensive space programme. The Indian National Committee for Space Research in 1962, which became the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) was set up. Under his leadership, the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station was established with a successful launch in 1963.

Roscosmos (the Russian federal space agency) had two sets of space tourists into space, including a mission with Space Adventures. Russian film crew started real time shooting of dramas on ISS – International Space Station.

    The Government of India had launched regional connectivity scheme named UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) to make flying affordable for common man providing monetary support for the development of infrastructure across tier-II and tier-III cities. Not only airplanes, but also helicopters and seaplanes were covered by this scheme. Several routes were planned by keeping the tourism sector in focus. In October 2020, the first seaplane service was launched in the country, with water aerodromes in addition to having airports and helipads.  SpiceJet bagged the first contract for this. Airlines had upgraded themselves with amazing facilities, and world class luxuries even when LCCs (Low Cost Carriers) had become dominant players.

    There were frequent helicopter accidents, one even took away the life of our first CDS General Bipin Rawat. Couple of airline companies went bankrupt. Government of India realised the need for smart spending in the aviation sector.  Question lingered, was there a need for a civil aviation ministry? When India was in the forefront, middle east did not have any airlines, then Emirates and Qatar Airlines emerged among the best in the world.

    Working Together - Success

    The aviation industry is divided along three lines viz. Commercial, General and Military excluding the charted flights. An organisation which helps by providing a stable air fare structure and smooth working of International airlines system is IATA (International Air Transport Association) headquartered in Montreal, Canada, and ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organisation) ensures the safety of flying. These organisations had created the culture of ‘Black Box Thinking’ in the aviation industry. Unlike other industries, especially medical, where the reasons for failure is hidden, in aviation each failure was made a case study and discussed, to ensure that it was not repeated. There are many safety issues grappling the aviation industry, including the mental health of the employees, security, quality of the airlines and runways, to name a few.

    Aviation Industry was in the forefront to promote a beautiful mindset, to be adopted by all for progress, the question remained how could we leverage it? 

    As said by Giovanni Bisignani in the Vision 2050 document, with passengers at the core and the real cost of travel falling and number of travellers increasing multi-fold, airline industry continued to provide great value to individual, consumers and to society with right technology, efficient and sufficient infrastructure and financial sustainability. One of the industry’s biggest challenges was to evolve from the financial disaster of a partial deregulation that had created fierce competition among airlines but without giving them the normal commercial freedoms to do business. The industry was sick. To protect the value that aviation delivered to consumers, companies, countries, and the global economy, it provided a common vision to change.

    The way forward was a collaborative effort from the Indian Air Force, ISRO, private sector and Government of India with a vision to make India a Leader in Aviation Technology.  Private players were introduced to invest in and compete with HAL. National space ecosystem was brought into place with public and private participation.

    Their area of focus was:

    ·       technological advancements

    ·       organizational restructuring

    ·       deeper penetration of air and space services

    ·       increasing global presence of Indian players

    ·       Less Government intervention in the day-to-day functioning, but strict monitoring of the finance and security and

    ·       a vibrant cooperative and collaborative approach at the international level.

    The key drivers were:

    ·       Cost efficiency

    ·       Indian skills and human resources

    ·       Innovation—with simple low-cost, but effective, solutions

    ·       Quality without compromising on service, output, speed and communication, by streamlining and improving the process, putting in place the modern technology and implementing the innovative methods

    ·       Safety and Security

    These brought about new economic model ensuring safety, with quality checks and systems, enhancing the performance. Some interesting developments over the years, fixing the basics were:

    ·      With Gaganyaan India became the 4th country to send people to space. Many ventures around moon continued in the path of Chandrayaan-1 and across Mars with Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM)/Mangalyaan. Aditya L1 was set up to study sun. RLV-TD was the first space plain with low-cost access to space, created by Indian space transportation system. Space odyssey was given prominence to explore the unexplored. Research was also around Abell 2256 Galaxy. 

    ·       Indian Airports were brought up to International quality many new airports were built. Flight schools and dedicated cargo terminals were set across the length and breadth of the country. Number of airports increased, with some states ensuring that there is an airport in every district. Aviation impacted mobility between continents and cities and mobility within cities.

    ·       Quick and right actions were taken against people for inefficiencies and corruption.  Though government had become less important as an owner in India unlike middle east, they played key role to ensure safety and security, provide checks on money laundering, competition among the private players and the effects of the five forces  effecting the profitability of the airline industry - Intensity of rivalry, The threat of new entrants, Bargaining power of customers, Bargaining power of suppliers ,The threat of substitutes.

    ·       Efficiencies were brought in Supply Chain and freight Management, we had companies competing with and ranked ahead of global giants like FedEx and DPDHL in Freight transportation. India took a great leap of faith in this area becoming a leader in Freight transport. Use of drones and similar innovations related primarily to moving goods quickly become viable for moving people as well.

    ·       Increasing use of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) in lieu of Airline turbine fuel (ATF). The use of alternate fuels in place of fossil fuels like electric tractions and solar energy was tapped. The penetration of electric vehicles increased with reduction in costs and increase of competition. With uprise of crude price and its depletion, there was no other go, than to look for alternatives.

    ·       Proper cost control – while all other major cost categories have remained roughly stable as a share of total operating costs, Fuel is the only major cost item that has become significantly larger over time. There were no cost cutting at the cost of safety. 

    ·       Aircraft de-icing facility, improvements in landing and navigation facilities, safety and security measures, maintenance of the aircraft were all part of R&D. These were constantly upgraded and improved.

    ·       Aircrafts were manufactured in India including helicopters, turbofan, jet aircrafts, double decker aircrafts both for civilian and military purposes. Developed electric and hybrid electric aircraft in the short-range and <100 seat category and further enhanced for larger aircraft. Introduced electric, hybrid and T5 zero-emissions (hydrogen) aircraft in the 2035-2040 timeframe, catering to domestic and global geographies, and low cost and full service carrier segment.

    ·       Air carriers in India added new jobs with new airline entries and an increase in passengers, R&D, Commercial pilot jobs, making of the robots. The struggles and resilience of air hostesses, of excessive sexual objectification were set right. Travel agents were in demand, with offers and better refunds on cancellation. People started insuring themselves during travel, to cover various risks. Engineers were in high demand.

    ·       Security surveillance was monitored, with air border rightly defined and followed. The vast investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data was seen as a promising way of increasing safety, efficiency and sustainability. These technologies helped improve aviation infrastructure and airspace utilization.

    ·       Air travel was a preferred mode for long distance, and for transport of freight too. concerned citizens demand for responsible travel policies, measures to reduce carbon footprint, inclusive features like accessibility for differently abled, trans were catered to.

    ·       There were layers in space travel with flying cars, where cars on road, that could be put on flight mode to overcome hinderances and accelerate speed. Balloons, helicopters, local flights, international flights, chartered flights, cargo flights, supersonic flights, jet, satellites, rockets, flew in different layers. Airspace was closely monitored and regulated.

    ·       With increase in cold storage facility, there is more of import and export of perishable goods nationally and internationally.

     ·       Travel and Tourism was promoted and became accessible for domestic and international passengers to remote locations. With ease and standardisation in global visa restrictions, immigration checks, demand for cross – cultural travel increased.

     ·       ‘Aircations’ (cruises in the sky) have become popular. Space travel is reasonably priced, although stays in ‘Spatels’ (space hotels) are still reserved for the relatively well off and week-long stays in Space is for wealthy.

     ·       Out-of-sector carbon reduction market-based measures were put in place, and focus was to be in line with the Paris Agreement goal to limit global temperature rise to "well below 2ÂșC above pre-industrial levels", keeping in check the Air, Sound and water pollution.


    Both passenger traffic, and freight traffic had drastic increase over the years. With increase in economic development, there was an increase in mobility and demand for transport in India. Many families had their members outside India. They kept exchanging gifts and good from international locations and travelled to visit relatives across the globe. Population and it’s spread increased and so the need for transport.

    The growth of the industry was not hit by turbulent weather around of inflation, fuel shortage, political unrest, international restrictions, cross border commotions, pandemics, corruption and government approvals. Modernization of infrastructure and reorganisation helped growth of Air Transport contributing to economic growth, social development and environmental efficiency.

     In a densely globalized economy, air transport is a key element in the country’s transport infrastructure. By 2037 in line with IATAs estimate, India had around 572 million passengers per year, providing major opportunity for growth of airlines.

    As the flight was landing Delhi my heart recited, 

    I am restless. I am athirst for far-away things.
    My soul goes out in a longing to touch the skirt of the dim distance.
    O Great Beyond, O the keen call of thy flute!

    ~             Rabindranath Tagore

     

     

    Generation today, is blessed with the potential to see the world from thousands of feet up in the air and be in any part of the world they want to be in, in a short while - even sky is not the limit. The pride of modern self-sufficiency is real for all and not just a dream.

    Proud Indian’s attended the 100th year of Independence with people in audience planning and working on teleportation and time travel. Wishes are horses and anyone can fly and ride.
