• Alex Prokouchkine visited India during Durga Puja - This Chicagoan Felt The Festive Pulse During The Durga Puja Durga Puja is one of the biggest religious and cultural extravaganzas of India. While this is celebrated on a pan India basis, one must visit Kolkata, to soak in its real magic. Visiting India during Durga Puja can be the most happening life’s experiences. Everything is unique about this Hindu festival. It is all about the battle of Goddess Durga against the demon, Mahisasura. The battle spreads over nine days when the Goddess won over the demon at last. This is not only a religious festival but the celebration of life as well. Food, fun, and frolic are the charms of this grand festival. The city does not sleep during the festive season. Its joyous spirit can be compared with the Rio de Janeiro carnival. There are large crowds on the road hopping from one ‘pandal’ to another, throughout the night, to see the gorgeously decorated idol of the Goddess with her two sons and two daughters. The city also glows with its themed decoration and incredible lighting. “Kolkata is foodie’s paradise. For binging on them you have to be a local and try the street foods. You may try ‘roll’ and ‘momo’. The roll is almost like a ‘wrap’ or a ‘Frankie’ and the ‘momo’ is the Tibetan version of the dumpling. Do not worry if you are a veggie. Veg things are also available,” said Prokouchkine smilingly, while sharing his experience. There is a lot of things to do during this festival. It is better to reach a few days earlier and visit ‘Kumartuli’ where the majority of the clay idols are made. Kolkata becomes a different place during the Durga Puja festivities. Bathed in the light it looks like a paradise on earth. Cultural functions are also held during this time as a part of social celebration. One can also visit the metropolitan vicinities for watching the festivity. Everyday ‘Bhog’ is offered to the goddess and distributed to the devotees afterward. One can also watch the “Kumari” (virgin) Puja on the 9th day. Goddess Durga is also considered as the daughter of each family. “I was lucky to stay with Rita’s family. She lives in the northern part of Kolkata. Together, we roamed in the evening and saw how families celebrate the festival. Everyone wears ethnic dress and dances to the tune of the drum. It created a magnificent ambiance. Ladies played with vermillion on the last day before immersion. Their cheeks turned red and Rita was not spared. It was a great gathering for everyone. Look, I am not a Hindu. But I would visit India again during Durga puja for the love of celebration and the hospitality I got,” Alex further added. Astounding celebrations happen on the tenth day when colorful processions are held with the idols. People dance, play drums to the river to immerse the idol, and bid adieu to the Goddess with the request to come next year. To enjoy the celebration to the fullest one must dress and eat like the locals and get lost. Only then, you can feel the festive pulse of the country.

• CapitaLand pledges S$200,000 to President’s Challenge 2020 - Singapore, 17 September 2020 – CapitaLand, through its philanthropic arm CapitaLand Hope Foundation (CHF), has pledged S$200,000 to President’s Challenge 2020 as it rallies the community to make 8,000 mask pouches under #CareKitWithLove to support children and youth with special needs as well as frontline staff from special education schools amid COVID-19. The charities identified by President’s Challenge to receive the mask pouches are Association for Persons with Special Needs, Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore, Lighthouse School, Metta Welfare Association, Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore and Rainbow Centre Singapore. In addition, 2,000 mask pouches produced by Arts@Metta, a programme under Metta Welfare Association that promotes employment and independence of special needs alumni from the Metta School, will be available for sale to the public in October 2020 and CHF will pledge S$20 for each item sold. Proceeds from the sale will go to Arts@Metta and CHF’s donation will go to President’s Challenge 2020. Mr Tan Seng Chai, Chief Corporate and People Officer for CapitaLand Group and Executive Director of CapitaLand Hope Foundation, said: “As a socially responsible company, CapitaLand has been contributing to the communities we operate in globally. We were swift to galvanise our resources and staff volunteers to render assistance to the vulnerable communities in Singapore from the onset of COVID-19, and we are continuing our efforts as the situation gradually improves. The Group’s support for children and youth with special needs through President’s Challenge reinforces our commitment to play our part in building a caring and inclusive society.” Mr Tan added: “Our philanthropic arm, CapitaLand Hope Foundation, has contributed more than S$3 million over 13 years to President’s Challenge to benefit over 40 charities that support the needs of vulnerable children and elderly in Singapore. Besides tapping on our network of partners, tenants, customers and staff to join in our philanthropic efforts, we are reaching out to our community to contribute their time and skills through #CareKitWithLove. By bringing people together through a common cause of caring for the underprivileged, we aim to help build a stronger and more united Singapore.” #CareKitWithLove: How the community can volunteer The #CareKitWithLove initiative is calling for volunteers to prepare and pack sewing materials, as well as conduct virtual workshops for students with special needs to personalise their mask pouches, with training provided by charity organisation Heartware Network. Volunteers who have sewing skills and a sewing machine at home can register for a kit which includes materials for making 50 mask pouches and a QR code that links to an e-guide and video tutorial. The kit can be collected from Metta Welfare Association or the Click + Collect service at Basement 2 of CapitaLand’s Funan, from now till 15 October 2020. The completed mask pouches can be deposited at Metta Welfare Association or Funan’s Concierge by 29 October 2020. Volunteers without a sewing machine can book a slot to make mask pouches at BERNINA (Singapore), a Swiss sewing concept store at Funan, or at Metta Welfare Association. Interested volunteers can register at: www.capitaland.com/carekitwithlove In June 2020, CapitaLand partnered with Yellow Ribbon Singapore to make over 1,400 mask pouches for children with special needs from Rainbow Centre Singapore. CapitaLand staff volunteers and Rainbow Centre staff co-designed the mask pouch and a guide to help teachers explain the use of the pouch, encourage the children to wear face masks and maintain proper hygiene. Virtual sessions were also conducted to demonstrate how to use the mask pouch and guide students to personalise them. Ms Helen Lui, Vice-Principal, Rainbow Centre Singapore, Margaret Drive School said: “Most of our students have challenges with organising their materials and activities. The mask pouches definitely came in handy to help them learn how to store their new and used masks appropriately. It is also a great resource for our teachers and parents as they have a standardised mask pouch to help the students get used to this new routine.” To date, CapitaLand has pledged over S$2.2 million to support underprivileged children, vulnerable elderly, healthcare workers and community care staff impacted by COVID-19 in Singapore. CapitaLand has also mobilised close to 900 staff volunteers to support the vulnerable communities, from delivering meals and conducting virtual engagement sessions with the elderly to distribution of care kits and hand sanitisers.

• SCO Summit to become states’ collective response to pressing challenges - Russia continues to actively prepare for the SCO Summit in St. Petersburg, which was postponed to autumn due to the coronavirus pandemic. This was announced by Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Igor Morgulov in an interview with TASS First Deputy Director General Mikhail Gusman in early July. «Of course, preparations for the SCO Summit is our main task at the moment, and we are actively working on this. […] We are now working on details of a St. Petersburg declaration, which will be submitted for approval of the [SCO] leaders. We are also planning to pass a number of statements on international issues and certain economic documents, work on which is also underway,” he said. According to Igor Morgulov, the decision to postpone the summit to autumn was supported by all member countries of the organization. “But again, [..] if the epidemiological situation in the SCO space, which regretfully remains difficult, allows us [to have a summit in autumn]. We have to admit this,” the deputy foreign minister said. He stressed that the restrictions imposed by the SCO member countries were affecting practical cooperation within the framework of the organization and the amount of contacts between ministries and departments; however the organization has passed “the strength test” and has demonstrated its ability to adapt to new realities. “Major events were held online – a meeting of the foreign ministers, heads of the sanitary-epidemiological services, tourist organizations, experts in the sectors of healthcare, transport and finance,” he explained. The SCO and BRICS summits were supposed to be held in St. Petersburg on July 21–23. On May 27, the Kremlin press service announced that the events were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Kremlin noted that the “new dates for the summits will be determined depending on further development of the epidemiological situation in the member states and in the world in general.” Currently, the SCO member states are India, Kazakhstan, China, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The SCO observer states are Afghanistan, Belarus, Iran and Mongolia. According to some observers, the upcoming negotiations are extremely important, since during the 20th SCO summit it is planned to adopt a new five-year action plan to implement the Organization’s Development Strategy until 2025. Its project includes about 150 activities aimed at further expanding cooperation between the member states of the organization. Summing up the interim results, the SCO Secretary-General Vladimir Norov said that the first five-year term of the strategy “demonstrated its effectiveness and its goal to further strengthen and develop mutual trust and facilitate long-term peace in the region and the world as a whole.” According to him, the strategy continues promoting multi-sided regional cooperation, political stability and security, expanded economic cooperation, joint development and the prosperity of the SCO nations. “The practical result of this strategy was India and Pakistan joining the SCO. The organization has assumed a pronounced transcontinental character. It has strengthened its attractiveness and high rating of openness in the international arena. It has also given impetus to the dynamic development of international contacts of the SCO. To date, official connections have been established with more than ten international and regional organizations, including the UN and its specialized agencies – ESCAP, UNESCO, FAO and UNWTO. The fruitful cooperation with ASEAN has strengthened, it is planned to adopt a joint action plan with the participation of UNODC. Of course, the SCO has shown its commitment to traditional close ties with the CIS, CSTO and CICA,” Vladimir Norov reminded. “The phenomenon of the successful progressive development of the SCO is that member states firmly and consistently follow the ‘Shanghai spirit’ embodying mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, mutual consultation, respect for multiculturalism, the desire for joint development,” the SCO Secretary-General stressed. Analyzing the probability of holding the SCO summit in offline format, Taisiya Marmontova, professor at the Institute of Diplomacy at the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, drew attention to the fact that the organization of any events today is subject to the situation around the COVID-19 pandemic. “As you know, the SCO summit was already supposed to have taken place, however, due to known circumstances, its dates were shifted to autumn. In general, the situation is rather unstable. If Russia reports on a decrease in infections and minimizes hospital beds, then in Kazakhstan the number of cases is seriously growing. At the same time, China, having confidently passed the first peak, is trying to fight local outbreaks,” the expert said. “It is difficult to say with certainty when, in what format and way the representatives of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization are going to meet, but this is definitely necessary, since the leaders need to make sure they are on the same page in the context of the new post-coronavirus situation,” she added. Speaking about the results of the SCO work, Taisiya Marmontova noted that she shares the position of the Secretary General of the organization on the compliance of the current strategy with the national interests of all member states, as well as the interests of their long-term joint development. Meanwhile, the prospects for the further development of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, in her opinion, will be closely related to what the world will be like after the end of the pandemic and how the governments of the countries will restore interstate relations that suffered during the period of forced isolation. Vasily Kashin, Senior Researcher at the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Leading Researcher at the Institute of Far Eastern Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, expressed the opinion that the prospects for holding the summit are “not entirely predictable,” adding, however, that the return of severe restrictive measures because of the coronavirus in Russia is not expected so far. In his opinion, this makes the probability of holding the event in the usual format rather high. Answering the question about the organization’s activities, the expert recalled that the official documents developed within the SCO provide for various numerous areas of cooperation and interaction, including the economy, infrastructure and the humanitarian sphere. “Real goals and objectives exist in the field of security, anti-terrorist cooperation and confidence-building in the military sphere, as well as, in part, in coordination on some international problems. The SCO in the main is solving these tasks. Within the framework of the organization, a very high level of military cooperation and cooperation of special services is ensured,” Vasily Kashin said. According to him, India and Pakistan’s entry into the SCO has complicated the coordination and development of decisions within the framework of the union, but at the same time created new opportunities for Indo-Chinese cooperation. “The organization will continue to be in demand, especially considering the prospects for the development of the situation in Afghanistan. The countries [...] are interested in continuing joint exercises and expanding various multilateral and bilateral channels of interaction,” the analyst said. “Nevertheless, one should not expect any rapid deepening of cooperation and its spread to new areas. The pandemic makes little difference here. For economic cooperation, Russia has the EAEU, and China has the Belt and Road, humanitarian and medical assistance is provided on a bilateral basis,” he explained. In turn, Ilgar Velizade, Head of the Baku-based South Caucasus Club of Political Scientists, expressed the idea that the current situation in the world actualizes the issue of improving coordination between the countries of the union to overcome the pandemic consequences. “From this point of view, the holding of the SCO and BRICS summits in autumn can be considered as urgent,” he stressed. In his opinion, the platform of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is the most effective one for interaction between such antagonistic countries as Pakistan and India, India and China. “In principle, precisely because of the aggravation of relations between these states, the forecasts for the implementation of the program-2025 cannot be called optimistic. In the past five years, the states of the organizations have made efforts to overcome their contradictions, but Indo-Chinese trade and economic tensions against the background of aggravated border disputes have significantly worsened the situation. In addition, the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic also did not contribute to the implementation of previously set goals,” the political scientist said. From his point of view, the countries need to interact and maintain dialogue in the face of the pandemic. “The SCO works within the framework of a dynamically changing system of international relations, and a more effective functioning of this organization is possible only with the reducing risks arising from destabilization in the world politics,” Ilgar Velizade said. According to Erlan Madiev, Expert at the Institute of World Economy and Politics (IMEP) under the Nursultan Nazarbayev Foundation, the coronavirus pandemic has made the need for international cooperation more urgent than ever. “COVID-19 has become a powerful catalyst for global change, affecting almost all spheres of human life. In this sense, the next SCO summit should become, first of all, a collective response of the organization’s members to the range of challenges and problems that the new reality is shaping,” he said. In his opinion, the leaders of the states need to revise the general approaches of the SCO in the security sphere, adapting them to new challenges. “Dangerous transnational viruses are becoming an integral part of our life, and this cannot be ignored. [...] In general, against the background of the increasing likelihood of such problems, the SCO countries need to expand cooperation in the area of sanitary and epidemiological services, especially notification of potential risks, as well as exchange of information regarding the current epidemiological situation in the countries,” Erlan Madiev explained. According to him, the members of the organization have not yet managed to fully bring into action the powerful potential that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization possesses. “Its members occupy a large part of Greater Eurasia, the organization includes two members of the UN Security Council, and with joining of such a giant as India, the SCO’s capabilities are indeed acquiring a qualitatively new character. However, the enormous potential of the SCO, primarily its extensive geographical coverage, impose certain difficulties on its development, scattering the focus of its work, as well as ‘stretching’ the organization’s resources,” the expert said. In his opinion, the SCO today needs to define a list of priority areas of interaction. “I think that in the context of the global recession, priority should be given to trade and economic cooperation in such areas as digital commerce, transport and logistics, cooperation in the agro-industrial sector,” Erlan Madiev said. “Assessing the results of the implementation of the SCO Development Strategy until 2025 in the first five years, I would say that during these years the countries laid the foundation for further interaction, which has yet to be filled with real content. [...] Maintaining the positive dynamics of cooperation within the SCO will become an important factor in confidence-building throughout Eurasia,” the analyst concluded.

• Agra: The Taj Mahal - #Sneak_and_peek_into_the_Architecural_History# Located on the southern bank of the Yamuna River, Taj Mahal rises like a dream from the hazy, and often times chaotic city of Agra. Got completed in the year 1653, the entire Taj complex is not only a testament to the beauty and genius of artisans of the bygone era, but is also known to carry a legacy with it. The complex was a witness to 130 years of Mughal reign. If you want to step back in history and take a peek inside what that era looked like, go for a stroll inside the complex. From the magnificent Mughal architecture to cuisines sold outside the complex, everything has been inspired by the memorable era of the Mughals. Agra: Red Fort A UNESCO world heritage monument, Agra Red Fort stands as a glorious tribute to the erstwhile Mughal Empire’s heydays. Spread over a gigantic area of 3,80,000 sq. meters, this fort was built by Emperor Akbar in the year 1556, and later renovated in 1573 with red sandstone. The fort, which is at a distance of 2.2 km from Agra, is an absolute fortress, fortified on all sides with 70 feet high compound walls. Referred to as the Walled City, Agra Fort has four gates on the four sides out of which the most famous being the Delhi Gate and the Lahore Gate. This fort hosts numerous palaces and notable among them being the Shish Mahal and Khaas Mahal. Reception rooms Diwan-i-Khas and Diwan-i-Aam to several historic Masjids like Moti Masjid and Nagina Masjid are other worth seeing spots in this fort. Fatehpur Sikri Ah!!!the_next_her_comes_is_Akhbar’s_tomb_ As it is said Everyone has to die one day!!! Akbar the Great built some majestic monuments in his lifetime and one of them was his tomb itself. The task of commissioning your own tomb is part of the Turkic custom that Mughal’s adhered to. He even selected the site where he wanted to be kept. His last resting place, Sikandra, is where Akbar’s Tomb is. His son Jahangir completed the construction of his father’s tomb in 1613 and it was beautifully carved out of red sandstone. Just a km away from Akbar’s Tomb is Mariam’s Tomb, who was Akbar’s wife and Jahangir’s mother. Huh!!!Jumping_ont_the_next_one_ Fatehpur Sikri is the surviving monument that tells the tale of Emperor Akbar’s valour and great work. Fateh in Persian signifies victory. The city survived and three of its walled sides are still intact. Akbar paid a keen interest in its architecture and layout, and it took about 15 years to plan and build it completely. After completion, Fatehpur Sikri had harems, palaces, courts, buildings, and a mosque. If you had to pick one of the best architectural wonders of Fatehpur Sikri, then that would be the Buland Darwaza, a grand gateway to the walled city. Made of red sandstone, there are 52 steps that lead up to its 175 feet high archway that has two inscriptions. One of the first buildings to be constructed in Fatehpur Sikri was the Jama Masjid, a mosque built according to Indian mosque architecture. It also houses the tomb of Salim Chishti, a great Sufi saint. Akbar, who was the founder of the faith Din-e-Ilahi, also constructed Ibadat Khana in Fatehpur Sikri which was used for meetings.

The first of the eleven Mughal gardens to be built, Ram Bagh was Babur’s idea and was initially called Amar Bagh that translates to the garden of relaxation. Built in 1528, Ram Bagh was one of the most serene places in Agra. It is situated on the banks of River Yamuna and is about 5 km away from the Taj Mahal. The idea of the garden was inspired by a Persian garden that represents the Islamic idea of paradise. Ram Bagh had lush greenery with a river flowing through it. Mughal Emperor Babur didn’t just spend a lot of time in this garden. It has two viewing pavilions that were built in such a way that the cool breeze from the Yamuna and the trees would keep them cool even during the peak summer season.

• Agra: The Taj Mahal - #Sneak_and_peek_into_the_Architecural_History# Located on the southern bank of the Yamuna River, Taj Mahal rises like a dream from the hazy, and often times chaotic city of Agra. Got completed in the year 1653, the entire Taj complex is not only a testament to the beauty and genius of artisans of the bygone era, but is also known to carry a legacy with it. The complex was a witness to 130 years of Mughal reign. If you want to step back in history and take a peek inside what that era looked like, go for a stroll inside the complex. From the magnificent Mughal architecture to cuisines sold outside the complex, everything has been inspired by the memorable era of the Mughals. Agra: Red Fort A UNESCO world heritage monument, Agra Red Fort stands as a glorious tribute to the erstwhile Mughal Empire’s heydays. Spread over a gigantic area of 3,80,000 sq. meters, this fort was built by Emperor Akbar in the year 1556, and later renovated in 1573 with red sandstone. The fort, which is at a distance of 2.2 km from Agra, is an absolute fortress, fortified on all sides with 70 feet high compound walls. Referred to as the Walled City, Agra Fort has four gates on the four sides out of which the most famous being the Delhi Gate and the Lahore Gate. This fort hosts numerous palaces and notable among them being the Shish Mahal and Khaas Mahal. Reception rooms Diwan-i-Khas and Diwan-i-Aam to several historic Masjids like Moti Masjid and Nagina Masjid are other worth seeing spots in this fort. Fatehpur Sikri Ah!!!the_next_her_comes_is_Akhbar’s_tomb_ As it is said Everyone has to die one day!!! Akbar the Great built some majestic monuments in his lifetime and one of them was his tomb itself. The task of commissioning your own tomb is part of the Turkic custom that Mughal’s adhered to. He even selected the site where he wanted to be kept. His last resting place, Sikandra, is where Akbar’s Tomb is. His son Jahangir completed the construction of his father’s tomb in 1613 and it was beautifully carved out of red sandstone. Just a km away from Akbar’s Tomb is Mariam’s Tomb, who was Akbar’s wife and Jahangir’s mother. Huh!!!Jumping_ont_the_next_one_ Fatehpur Sikri is the surviving monument that tells the tale of Emperor Akbar’s valour and great work. Fateh in Persian signifies victory. The city survived and three of its walled sides are still intact. Akbar paid a keen interest in its architecture and layout, and it took about 15 years to plan and build it completely. After completion, Fatehpur Sikri had harems, palaces, courts, buildings, and a mosque. If you had to pick one of the best architectural wonders of Fatehpur Sikri, then that would be the Buland Darwaza, a grand gateway to the walled city. Made of red sandstone, there are 52 steps that lead up to its 175 feet high archway that has two inscriptions. One of the first buildings to be constructed in Fatehpur Sikri was the Jama Masjid, a mosque built according to Indian mosque architecture. It also houses the tomb of Salim Chishti, a great Sufi saint. Akbar, who was the founder of the faith Din-e-Ilahi, also constructed Ibadat Khana in Fatehpur Sikri which was used for meetings.
