04 Touristic Friday, August 09, 2019 | www.goantimes.titosgoa.com | 12 Pages Article 370 scrapped: will your Ladakh trip be affected? The situation in Jammu & Kashmir is tense. But up in Leh & Ladakh, India's newest Union Territory, it's business as usual for the moment Article 370 has been scrapped, Jammu & Kashmir has been separated from Ladakh–and the two regions have become separate Union Territories. Anticipating trouble, the government of India moved tourists and pilgrims out, and rushed huge amount of troops into the state. The situation is volatile and no one really knows how things will play out. Srinagar, Gulmarg, Pahalgam and other parts of Kashmir Valley are out of bounds. But what about Leh & Ladakh? Should you cancel your plans? No, say the locals. Here’s a status check. The new map of the union territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh Over the last three decades, Leh & Ladakh, which has a Buddhist majority, has remained largely unaffected by the volatile situation in Jammu & Kashmir. Even today, life in Ladakh is normal, even as Kashmir Valley is tense. Are flights to Leh affected? - If you’re flying to Leh, all flights on Vistara, IndiGo, GoAir and Air India are on schedule at the moment. - If you’re flying to Jammu and Srinagar, IndiGo has waived the fee on all cancellations and rescheduling of tickets (charges on fare difference will be applicable if any) to Jammu till 9 August. - If you’re flying to Srinagar: After announcing a cap on fares at R9,500, Air India has further slashed its ticket prices to R6,715 from Srinagar to Delhi and at R6,899 from Srinagar to Delhi till 15 August. Has local transport in Ladakh been affected? No, say all the four tour operators we spoke to. “As of right now, there are no restrictions, everything is totally safe. Leh airport is operational. However, [we] are not providing one with tours to Srinagar; instead, we are advising people to visit Manali instead,” Angrub Dorje, who runs Discover Ladakh, told CNT this morning. “Both Leh and Ladakh are completely safe. It is a normal day here, schools are open, the internet is working. Access to all tourist spots is open,” his colleague Sarfaraz Ahmed told us. How’s the situation in Ladakh? Jigmat Norbu, textile conservationist and fashion designer based in Ladakh tells CNT that the situation in the region is very peaceful. “The local administration has placed no restrictions whatsoever. To be honest, the locals are completely unaffected by what’s happening in Kashmir. I know of what’s going on because I’m on social media. I’ve heard that they are stopping vehicles from entering Srinagar, but that’s the extent of the restrictions imposed in the region. I’ve even heard that BJP MLA in Ladakh Jamyang Tsering Namgyal is appealing to tourists in Kashmir to come to Ladakh.” The Ladakhi Women’s Travel Company too, says it’s business as usual in Ladakh. “We haven’t had any cancellations from travellers yet. We have not been informed of any restrictions on travel in and around the area by officials. Life continues as always here.” In the jungle and on the hills Hostel stays @Rs. 1000 * Visit NAMASTE SAMUDRA YOGA-HOUSE (Gokarna, Karnataka) from NOVERBER to MARCH, the beautiful space for yoga retreats and holidays.

05 Fashion & Lifestyle Friday, August 09, 2019 | www.goantimes.titosgoa.com | 12 Pages Fashion Faceoff Jennifer Lopez or Kim Kardashian, who wore this custom Versace dress worth Rs 10 lakhs better Singer, actor and fashion icon Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 50th birthday recently with style and glamour. To go with power-packed performances, extravagant décor and the lavish setting, JLo picked an edgy and sensuous custom Versace dress for the occasion. The dress embodied the power and persona of the singer who wears many hats. It featured an interesting criss-cross neckline with gold buckles along with a fierce thigh-high slit at one end. The dress was from Versace’s AW19-20 collection and it was customised for her birthday celebrations. Lopez completed the look with bold heels; dramatic accessories and a powerful hair-do that made her look nothing less than a goddess. The style icon shares a long relationship with the Italian fashion house. She has previously worn some iconic looks including the green ensemble that she wore for Grammy awards in the year 2000. Lopez who has always been known and celebrated for her signature style also recreates her looks and has been spotted repeating Royal Enfield to launch a more affordable motorcycle soon The upcoming model will be based on the Bullet platform and could go on sale in a month or two. These have been difficult times for the entire auto industry, but Royal Enfield is really feeling the burn. In the quarterly financial results released by Eicher today, it was revealed that Royal Enfield sales have dropped by a whole 19 percent in Q1 FY 2018-2019, compared with the same period last year. Royal Enfield is a huge part of the Eicher group, and this dip has certainly contributed to group’s 7 percent drop in overall revenue over the same period. While commenting on Royal Enfield’s quarterly performance, Vinod Dasari, the company’s newly appointed CEO, has been quoted as saying, “We will also be introducing new motorcycle variants in the coming months to widen our offering and provide greater accessibility to our discerning customers.” Sources lead us to believe that the upcoming variant that Dasari is referring to will become the most affordable motorcycle in the company’s present line-up. This bike will not use the newgen platform that has been spied on test on numerous occasions, but will instead be based on the existing Bullet platform. Royal Enfield’s most affordable models at the moment is the Bullet 350 that costs Rs 1.21 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). If you want your Bullet with the option of an electric start, you’ll have to shell out Rs 1.35 lakh for the Bullet 350 ES. This new variant will be based on the Bullet 350, both kick and electric start. It will be visually distinguished by a simpler fuel tank badge and a black treatment for the engine and other areas like the indicators, etc., replacing most of the chrome seen on the Bullet. It's expected that the mechanicals will remain untouched and that the bike will continue to be sold with spoked wheels and tubed tyres to help keep costs down. Royal Enfield may also make use of brighter colours on this new variant, something that has been well received on the Thunderbird X. The same treatment may also be given to the 500cc models. Just how low Royal Enfield wants to price this bike needs to be established, but we could be looking at something around the Rs 1.10 lakh to Rs 1.15 lakh mark. If so, the entry level Bullet will enter the price ballpark of 200cc motorcycles like the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. Royal Enfield is likely to launch this new variant in a month or two, and the lower pricing should create a much-needed sales push before the highly anticipated next-gen single-cylinder models arrive. certain ensembles from time to time. Crop tops, hoop earrings, curvy midiskirts, matching separates, nude tones, plunging necklines among others have always been a signature as far as JLo’s style evolution goes. The original design’s estimated worth Goa University launches degree course in fashion Goa University introduces one of the finest degree courses in Fashion and Interior Design through the JD Institute of Fashion Technology, Goa.

Reshaping fashion: Plus-size models set ramp on fire in Delhi New Delhi (India), July 31 (ANI): We have often seen body-positive posts on social media and the national capital on Wednesday saw a live example of it with over a hundred plus-size models walking the ramp to prove their prowess. The beauties were vying to be a part of the upcoming Lakme Fashion Week. Taking place for the first time in Delhi, the audition for the plus-size models including both men and women, was a stepping stone for those aspiring at the grand event. The audition which took place at Taj Mansingh Delhi had a great panel seated in the jury's chair with bigwigs from both fashion and business industries. Breaking the stereotypes of the perfect size, 166 models aged between 18-40 graced the ramp. Jacqualine Kiara Ledlie, one of the models who participated in the walk described the events as being "very positive" for others like her. "These auditions are very positive so it definitely gives a hip up to each girl out here and it gives you the motivation to come here and take part in all these auditions. So, these auditions should keep happening so that every girl is motivated," she added. While this was the first time ever that such an event took place in the national capital, Jacqualine wished that the reach should be expanded as it comes as a "booster" for the plus-size models. It is a no-brainer that when one hears the word 'model', they tend to imagine a sleek and lean girl but it wasn't the same case here. The models weren't judged on a predecided body measurement but as an estimate, had women with a waist more than 34 inches while men with more than 40 inches, said a jury member. "I am so happy because I have been working towards creating content for body positivity. And at one place, this much of body positivism is crazy and I am too happy," she Sakshi, a blogger and an attendee at the event. She continued, "There's not much inclusivity in the fashion industry per say, for certain sizes so I feel events like this should happen much more not just once a year." Sakshi added that at such events "you could just be you!" In conclusion, a total of 21 winners were announced, including 16 females and 5 males. (ANI)
