Bhavna Jagwani had lost her vision briefly when she was 27. She regained it 25 days later, but that gave her a new purpose in life. Believing there was a hidden purpose behind everything, she took the initiative to set up Jaipur’s first eye bank- The Eye Bank Society of Rajasthan (EBSR) in 2002. More than 4,000 people got vision as a result of the efforts of EBSR. In 2014, Bhavna and MFJCF set up an organ donation campaign and transplant program in Rajasthan. Through organ donations, many people got new lives.

She’s been awarded by State Bank for Special Service, Rajmata Gayatri Devi Award for Women’s Excellence, Rajasthan Gaurav Award, India Today Summit Award, & many prestigious awards.

She’s a true inspiration for all of us!

Let’s Play Holi the traditional way with Gulal Gotas | Jaipur Beat

$
0
0

Amidst the hustle & bustle of the narrow bylanes of Pink City, there rests an abundance of cultural and artistic heritage, which is the true essence of Rajasthan! From the many traditional art forms which are kept alive by Jaipurs’ skillful artisans, there is one that makes its appearance only during the Holi festival. We are talking about ‘Gulal Gota’ – Gulal means colours and Gota means small balls. This rare art form of Jaipur needs to be preserved and documented and hence we decided to bring the first-hand experience of what goes into the making of Gulal Gotas. We met the seventh-generation master artist Awaaz Mohammad who is carrying the 400 years old legacy and practicing this craft for the past seven decades. 

Settled in the nook of the old Pink City, we visited his home where he crafts wonders of the timeless art of Lac. Awaaz Mohammad is one of several Muslim artisans who are keeping alive the age old tradition along with his daughter Gulrukh Sultana, son Praveen and other family members. Through the long interesting conversation while sitting at his charming little workshop, here is what Awaaz Mohamad ji shared and demonstrated about the unique Gulal Gotas.

The Royal Affair- Awaaz Mohammad briefed about the older days when he used to go to Jaipur’s City Palace with his father with packs of Gulal Gotas where the royals used to play Holi with their guests with it. It was the members of the royal family who roamed around on their Elephants to splash colours on the streets. They used to throw ‘Gulal Gotas’ balls made of Lac and filled with colors to celebrate Holi festivities. They are still keeping this old charm alive. 

What are Gulal Gotas ?

Gulal Gotas are made with Lac. The Lac is a natural product that comes from trees like Beri, Kusum, Palash, and others. 

Process- Artisans use fire (anghitti) and copper pipettes (small rod) to blow up lac into round-shaped hollow balls. The Lac is very delicate and it is to be done very carefully else the lac will burst like a balloon burst. After blowing it is kept in the water to cool down. One ball weighs around 5 gms. Once they cool and the water is completely dried the next step is to fill them up with approximately 10-12 gms of herbal ‘gulal’ made of fragrant arrowroots and seal them with Parchi (paper cover) with the help of Arrarot glue. The ready balls filled with colors are further packed in boxes. There are multiple hands involved in the entire process and not just done by one person. Mostly the entire family sits and finishes each piece. 

The most amazing part of the entire process comes at last when these balls are thrown while playing Holi. It does not hurt anyone but only the splash of colour comes out.
But did you know that Gulal Gota is also a sign of communal harmony as Holi is a Hindu festival & the Gulal Gotas are made by ‘Manihaars’ from the Muslim community.

Where to get it?

We know after going through this interesting blog, no one can not think of not playing with Gulal Gotas. Maniharon Ka Rasta in city fills up with Gulal Gota shops during Holi. Go and get yours!

Interesting Facts About Gulal Gota

• The royals still play with Gulal Gotas.

• Apart from the festival of colours, these balls are even used in traditional temples of Jaipur. Besides Jaipur, Gulal Gotas are also used in other parts of the nation, like Mathura and Vrindavan. These fragrance-packed herbal & colourful balls add a heritage touch with a playful way of spreading colours over the devotees. 

• One Gulal Gota weighs around 15 gms

• Handcrafted – No machine can make it. One Gulal Gota goes through multiple hands from start to finish.

• Eco-Friendly- It can only be made the natural way.

• Authentic- The artisans are keeping Gulal Gota’s authenticity as it was back then. The colours used are only organic and herbal.

• Harmony- The art is practiced only by Muslim artisans. 

• Fragile- It’s so delicate that around 30% of the production gets damaged while handling.

Building Better Mental Health for Teens | Jaipur Beat

Growing up is hard. Teen years are often looked upon as memorable, fun times, but they are also potentially difficult ones. With all those hormones and emotions on an epic roller coaster, combined with life starting to ramp up its seriousness, checking in with teenagers and their mental health is really important.
To mark #WorldTeenMentalWellnessDay, we at Jaipur Beat think in today’s time it is important to make everyone understand what is mental health, what are the signs, the dangers associated, how to cure it, what is the role of the family and why it becomes important to seek the professional help.

Let us understand.

Signs of Depression

  • Persistent sadness, anxiety or an “empty” feeling
  • Hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
  • Loss of interest in hobbies and favorite activities
  • A lack of energy and persistent fatigue
  • Difficulty concentrating, remembering, making decisions
  • Difficulty sleeping, early morning awakening or oversleeping
  • Appetite and/or weight changes
  • Restlessness or irritability
  • Physical symptoms including pain
  • Thoughts of death or contemplating suicide
  • Trouble sleeping Although depression can sap energy and motivation during the day, a person may often lie awake at night, unable to sleep, says Sarah Altman, PhD, a clinical psychologist in the department of psychiatry and behavioral health at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus. On the other hand, some people with depression may find it difficult to get out of bed and may sleep for long periods during the day.
  • Loss of interest in favorite activities Some people turn to hobbies they enjoy when they feel blue, but those with major depression tend to avoid them, according to the American Psychiatric Association (APA). If you or someone you know usually loves to garden but can’t muster the energy to go outside, let alone work in the yard, that can be a red flag.
  • Increase in energy Ironically, when depressed people have made a decision to do something drastic, such as killing themselves, they may go from slowed down to far more energetic. That’s because they feel a sense of relief in having come to a resolution, so if you notice a drastic change like this in someone you love, it’s a big cause for concern. This can also manifest as reckless behavior — particularly in men — such as indulging in risky sexual behavior, overspending, or abusing substances, such as alcohol or drugs, according to the  (ADAA). 
  • Change in appetite Some people overeat when they’re depressed or anxious, but in people with severe depression, the opposite is usually true. “A depressed person may stop eating because he or she is no longer concerned with physical well-being,” says John Whyte, MD, MPH, a board-certified internist in Washington, DC,
  • Feeling or seeming on edge “In many people, depression can manifest with irritability, impatience, or anxiety and worry. Trouble concentrating is another related symptom.
  • Expressions of guilt Feeling excessive guilt or worthlessness can also be a hallmark of depression, according to the APA. People might feel guilty because they are depressed or aren’t doing enough at home or at work. 
  • Unexplained physical symptoms Since the body and mind are connected, depression can also start to manifest in physical ways that are resistant to treatment, such as persistent headaches, digestive issues, or unexplained pain, according to the ADAA.

The Warning Signs

  • Talking, writing, or thinking about killing or hurting oneself or threatening to do so
  • Depression (deep sadness, loss of interest, trouble sleeping and eating) that gets worse
  • Having a “death wish;” tempting fate by taking risks that could lead to death — for example, driving through red lights
  • Losing interest in things one used to care about
  • Making comments about being hopeless, helpless, or worthless
  • Saying things like “it would be better if I wasn’t here” or “I want escape”
  • A sudden switch from being very sad to being very calm or appearing to be happy
  • Talking about suicide
  • Increase in drinking alcohol or using drugs

What Needs To Be Done

  • Encourage your loved one to seek professional help. If your loved one is considering harming themselves or having other dark thoughts, immediate treatment is critical.
  • Create a safe environment. “If the person expresses suicidal thoughts, remove any potentially lethal items from the home, such as guns,” Dr. Dunlop says. 
  • Be kind. “Blaming or chastising depressed people for feeling low or unmotivated is not helpful and typically serves to reinforce negative feelings they already have,” Dunlop says. “Instead, open the discussion in a nonjudgmental way and encourage the person to seek help.” 
  • Be willing to support treatment. Offer to help your loved one prepare a list of questions for a provider about depression or drive them to appointments.
  • More than 80% of people with clinical depression can be successfully treated with early recognition, intervention, and support.
  • Depression affects almost 19 million people each year, including a large portion of the working population. People with untreated depression can usually get to work. But once there, they may be irritable, fatigued, and have difficulty concentrating. Untreated depression makes it difficult for employees to work well.

Curing Depression naturally

  • 1. Get in a routine
  • 2. Set goals
  • 3. Exercise
  • 4. Eat healthy
  • 5. Get enough sleep
  • 6. Take on responsibilities
  • 7. Challenge negative thoughts
  • 8. Do something new
  • 9. Try to have fun
  • 10. Avoid alcohol and other drugs

Role of Family

  • Learn about depression. The better you understand what causes depression, how it affects people and how it can be treated, the better you’ll be able to talk to and help the person you care about.
  • Take care of yourself. Supporting someone with depression isn’t easy. Ask other relatives or friends to help, and take steps to prevent becoming frustrated or burned out. Find your own time for hobbies, physical activity, friends and spiritual renewal.
  • Don’t run away
  • Don’t be in denial
  • Finally, be patient. Depression symptoms do improve with treatment, but it can take time. Finding the best treatment may require trying more than one type of medication or treatment approach.

Encourage treatment

Provide support

  • Encourage sticking with treatment. If your relative or friend is in treatment for depression, help him or her remember to take prescribed medications and to keep appointments.
  • Be willing to listen. Let your loved one know that you want to understand how he or she feels. When the person wants to talk, listen carefully, but avoid giving advice or opinions or making judgments. Just listening and being understanding can be a powerful healing tool.
  • Give positive reinforcement. People with depression may judge themselves harshly and find fault with everything they do. Remind your loved one about his or her positive qualities and how much the person means to you and others.
  • Offer assistance. Your relative or friend may not be able to take care of certain tasks well. Give suggestions about specific tasks you’d be willing to do, or ask if there is a particular task that you could take on.
  • Help create a low-stress environment. Creating a regular routine may help a person with depression feel more in control. Offer to make a schedule for meals, medication, physical activity and sleep, and help organize household chores.
  • Make plans together. Ask your loved one to join you on a walk, see a movie with you, or work with you on a hobby or other activity he or she previously enjoyed. But don’t try to force the person into doing something.

Mental health and therapy is no more a taboo. Helplines, Mental Health online apps can help your child. Let’s get your teen treated and pull back the strings of his life.
