Editor’sNote
These days almost every second
person despite of his or her
gender is very conscious about
appearances, being in a relationship
is not only about feeling that
compassion for each other but
also, looking great or alluring or
glamorous the statement, “It isn’t
about looks” has now been replaced
by “ Looks are equally essential.
“So, ruminating, what to do to stay
updated with the trend and making
yourself look simply stunning?
Well, there are no rocket signs
about it, in fact it is very simple,
take care of the following steps and
you will succeed in giving yourself
a completely different yet pleasant
look, attractive, is the keyword for
being glamorous. All you have to
do is, make yourself look really eye
catching and attractive, be a reason
for turning heads of the crowd and
not someone being not noticed.
Managing Your Hair Hair play a
very vital role when it comes to the
grooming bit, the more your hair
are untidy and tangled, the hideous
your appearance will be to others,
so, make sure that your hair are
nicely done before you are going out
for an event, party or a date. Apart
from being nicely tangled, make sure
that your hair look shiny and glossy,
this would enhance the beauty of
your hair and will make them look
gorgeous.
Flawless Skin Your skin should be
flawless in order to look attractive,
now you might think what is flawless;
a skin without pimples, acne, scars
or bruises is known to be flawless.
So, you must make sure that if you
possess any of these problems, then
consider a dermatologist and get rid
of them in order to make your face
look really attractive.
Highlighting the Eyes Eyes are
known to be the most sensitive organ
of the body, also, it is considered
a medium through which can look
deeper into your soul. Hence, it is
very important to highlight your
eyes when you start with a makeup.
Ensure that you choose nice eye
shadows and a proficient eye liner in
order to make your eyes look really
attractive.
Choosing The Right Accessories
Well, if you cannot afford to spend
much on the clothes then ensure that
you choose appropriate accessories
that should enhance the beauty of
your attire. You don’t necessarily
have to purchase expensive jewelry,
but it has to match with the kind of
attire you get into.
Coordination Before leaving for a
particular event or a date, make sure
that you check that everything is in
place, crosscheck even the tiniest bit
of everything and ensure that all is
good and being aligned with each
other proficiently.
Show off Your Qualities This is
the easiest thing one can do in order
to impress anybody, show what
you truly are, beware of your innate
qualities and show them off in front
of others with a lot of confidence
and grace. This too, adds on to your
glamorous look as body language is
equally important as appearance.
“Being
Glamorous
is a dream,
but looking
Glamorous is
something
that isn’t
impossible.”

The first move in your career is very important, you can no doubt change
your domain of expertise or career preference, however, the point is that no
matter whatever you are indulging into; ensure that you give your best. School
or College era is always cherished by most of the people because out innate
capabilities are given a chance during that period, to nourish, to flourish so that when we step into the real world, it does
not become difficult for us as we know what we would like to accomplish.
After College, the real life begins when one step into the world of employment, or you can stay starts
working. During the first few months, it looks like a difficult strife to get the perfect job, but one it is
in your hands and you get on with it, it is then you start hearing the music, coming across various
challenges, overcoming them, sometimes getting stuck up in them. Here are few tips that can always
keep you going in your first job, and will let you overcome the initial blocks of your career:
Understand the work culture and the
expectations of your superiors:
You being new to the corporate world,
will have a lot of things going in your
head related to your role, however, if
you really want to succeed here, then
it is better to become a fresh student
and unlearn everything, make your
mind absolutely blank and grasp as
much as you can from your seniors.
Get to know about their expectations,
share your views but in a polite man-
ner and together come to a healthy
conclusion which should be beneficiary
for both.
Hard work:
Working hard always lets your senior
get to see the positive side of yours
and hence they make a positive
impression in their minds about you.
So, make sure that even if you have to
stay a little late to make your boss feel
that you are really interested in your
job then go for it.
Frequent Updates:
It’s good to keep giving updates to
your boss on a regular basis, this will
make him feel that you are really tak-
ing interest in your job, again will show
up as a positive sign for you.
Offer a helping hand: Offering a hand
to help others always makes you cre-
ate a good rapport with your fellow
colleagues, not only this; it is also con-
sidered as that you are a great team
player. Once you prove yourself as a
great team player it then will become
easier for you to expect a promotion.
Indulge with only positive
people:
At work, you will get to meet all type
of people, some will possess, positive
attitude towards life and work, these
are the people to be with rather than
being with slackers, who always are
interested in finding flaws either in the
company or in the management. So,
if you really wish to grow in life, then
being with positive people will always
prove out to be your biggest strength.

I believe that having friendships is an important aspect of a teens
growing years. Having friends is not as important as choosing
friendships wisely. It requires making good judgement, being perceptive
and choosing judiciously. Building good and healthy friendships requires
effort, commitment and honesty. A healthy friendship will constantly be
stretching, growing and expanding.
IF YOU RUN WITH
THE TURKEYS, YOU
WILL NOT SOAR
WITH THE EAGLES.
The development of a true friendship is a great
feeling.There are some friendships that start
well but don’t last for long and there are some
that seem to withstand everything that comes
and end up lasting a long time.True friends
won’t bring you down or do things to get you
into trouble.The friends who will stick with you
through good times and bad times are true
friends.A wise friendship is characterized as a
relationship between two people and is based
on admiration, respect, positivity, courtesy,
openness, empathy and support.
Just as it is important to make effective
decisions about other aspects of your life,
such as your diet, fitness levels, tv programs,
subjects and many more, it is equally important
to make wise decisions with whom you have
friendships with.What does a good friendship
mean to you? How do you differentiate and
decide on whom to further friendships with?
There are many ancient spiritual teachings
that educate us to choose our company,
for it with will define who we become.We
are characterized by the company we keep.
Bad company potentially corrupts good
habits and values.Therefore the company
we keep both reflects and shapes the kind
of people we become. Despite what we may
think of ourselves, we are influenced by the
environment we live in and the people we
associate with. So if you want to be more
hardworking and studious, choose a friend
who is hardworking and studious.There is a
common saying;“If you run with the turkeys,
you will not soar with the eagles.”Therefore,
make wise choices starting today!
1Choose friends who share
or reflect similar values with
you including positive family
values. Friends mirror each
other.Therefore choose friends
who do not have destructive
habits.
2Avoid peer pressure. Good
judgement takes place in a
stress-free mental space.
3Be determined to be your
own person and choose
friends that respect you for that.
4Find friends with some
similar interests. It would
be helpful if you had some
things in common. Do also
choose friends with diverse
positive qualities that will lead
you to positive growth, who will
help you to discover new ways
of doing things and help you
to overcome challenges in a
constructive manner.
5Recognize the differences
in healthy and unhealthy
friends and decide which
friends you want to stay
connected with.
6Define and know what
you want in a friend. Seek
out those qualities.You will
appreciate these friendships
when you are clear about the
important aspects that provide
the pillars for a wise friendship.
HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP
IN MIND WHEN CHOOSING YOUR
FRIENDSHIPS.

Fashion will never
leave you if you
gain weight. Where
your boyfriend might
run a mile at the slight
glimpse of an extra roll,
fashion can adjust to
those changes when he
can’t.
2
You can always
find an outfit or
accessory that will
make you feel gorgeous.
Lets face it men can get
quite complacent when
it comes to making you
feel good and nothing
can make you feel quite
so gorgeous as that
LBD.
3
An outfit will not get jealous
if you choose another one!
So you decide to go for the
pencil skirt rather than the maxi-
big deal! Though it has quite the
opposite effect when you choose
your boyfriends best mate over him..
4
If you grow bored of a pair
of shoes, you can upgrade
and its safe to say that its
quite another story when it comes
to ditching your man for a newer,
younger and more attractive model..
5
Fashion can keep you
entertained for hours on end.
We have all these magazines,
articles, and websites and
programmes dedicated and aimed
at those fashionistas of the globe.
Whilst you can sit and watch Gok
at work for almost hours, watching a
game of football with the boyfriend
doesn’t have the same effect.
6
You don’t have to be the
prettiest girl n the shop to
have the prettiest arm andy!
We all know dating can be a brutal
game that prides itself on the motto,
‘every woman for herself’. No wonder
that we women can find solitude
in shopping. You can walk into a
shop and choose the most beautiful
handbag- job done. With a man it
isn’t quite as simple.
“An outfit will
not get jealous
if you choose
another one!”

Many movies while being created are approached by different brands, but only the lucky ones get
selected, the one who truly deserves to be in that league.

weight without exercising, here’s a small list of things you got to keep in mind and then you will be on a roll
Switch a Big Boy Burger
with Bye Bye Burger:
This is self explanatory that
you have to stay away from
junk food as much as you
can, remember, in order
to lose weight; you have
to eat real food. No one in
this world can force you to
leave it forever, but there
are people who can aware
you about its reality, the
choice is yours. So, if you
need to lose weight, ensure
that those tempting French
fries, yummy chocolates and
pizzas are considered as an
invisible object by you.
A Beer should not be
bearded anymore: This
simply means that you
need to cut down on all the
liquids that possesses a lot
of calories, for instance, a
beer; it encompasses huge
number of calories. Instead,
drink fat free juices and
ensure that there is a lot
of water intake by you. The
more water gets in your
body, the more fatty acids
gets out of it.
Cut Your Food Intake:
Cutting food intake does not
mean that you should stop
eating, no, not at all and you
should never do this. All you
have to ensure is that the
amounts of calories you are
taking in, are sufficient for
you, overeating exceeds the
amount of calorie intake and
hence result in obesity or
increases weight.
Goodbye Night Meals:
Saying goodbye to night
meals means that you are
not going to eat at late
nights, say just couple of
minutes before you sleep.
Your last meal of the day
should be 2 hours before
your time of going to bed.
These steps are not all, but are enough for you in case you need to lose a
decent amount of weight. Don’t be shy or embarrassed because of your
weight, life and circumstances keep changing, so can body weight, all you
need to do is stay positive and determined, slow and steady always wins
the race.
Being overweight is one of the most common reasons of rejection
in love as the person admired by you wants an absolutely
gorgeous looking person, it is equally a stringent reason for
embarrassment, “Ahh These clothes doesn’t fit me anymore, Oh my
god look at me, I look so fat, ewwww.”

Isn’t it ironic that the city which hardly sleeps is still called the
‘city of dreams’? There is often a debate on whether Mumbai
is a suitable place to live in; whether it’s a city of dreams or
a living nightmare? For now, let’s concentrate only on what
makes Mumbai tick.
Gateway of India
Situated close to the
waterfront in South Mumbai,
this is a monument stretching
to a height of 26 meters. It
gets its name because it was
the first monument seen by
visitors arriving by boat in days
gone by. The Gateway steps
lead down to the waterfront,
where one may choose a
boat ride to Elephanta Island.
It is made in Indo-Saracenic
architectural style elements,
derived from the Muslim
architectural styles of 16th
century.
Beaches
Juhu beach is located in the
central suburbs of Mumbai.
Dawn and dusk are the perfect
times to visit it where splendid
views of Mother Nature are
on full display. There are ferry
rides, horseback rides, merry
go rides for children, local
street food such as bhel puri,
chat, shevpuri, pav bhaji and
stalls. Many Bollywood movies
have been shot here and if you
are lucky you might spot one
making your visit even more
memorable.
Then of course is the love-
struck Marine Drive running
along the shoreline of the
Arabian Sea from Nariman
Point to the foot of Malabar
Hill, passing Chowpatty Beach
along the way. The sunset
view is amazing as are the
lovers who you can find in
plentiful numbers. A stroll
down Marine Drive is possibly
the best way to discover
Mumbai. It is also one of
Mumbai’s busiest roads.
The Chowpatty Beach is
situated at the northern
end of Marine Drive in South
Mumbai.
During the day, you can rest
under the shade of small trees
and as evening dawns get
transformed into the world of
people, balloon sellers, ferry
rides and food kiosks. Children
can enjoy pony rides and
ferry rides. Enjoy the antics
of monkey-trainers, snake
charmers, contortionists
and professional masseurs.
There are stalls that offer local
delicacies like the Kulfi, Pani
Puri and Pav Bhaji. You can
even get an astrologer to size
up your future. All good fun!
Bazaars
Chor Bazaar: Literally meaning
“thieves market, ” Chor
Bazaar is situated on Mutton
Street. Open from Saturday
to Thursday from 11 am to
7 pm, it is the right place for
those who are in search of
antiquities. Here, one can
find paintings, old maps,
gramophones, clocks, glass
lamps, handicrafts, ceramics,
brassware and much more.
Needed in plentiful is the
energy to rummage around
and haggle for a bargain.
Those not interested in buying
can simply enjoy a leisurely
walk which leads one to the
Gol Deoul or the circular Shiva
temple.
Ganesh Chaturthi
in Mumbai
Ganesh Chaturthi is
celebrated in the month
of Aug.- Sep., as the
birth anniversary of
Ganesha, the Hindu god
of wisdom. The festival is
so popular in Mumbai and
the preparations begin
months ahead. Images of
Ganesha are installed and
elaborate arrangements
are made for lighting
and decoration and
celebrations are held for
7-10 days. The Chaturthi
is the last day dedicated
to the elephant-headed
god, and thousands of
processions converge on
the beaches of Mumbai
carrying the idols of
Ganesha, to be immersed
in the sea. This immersion
is accompanied by
drumbeats, devotional
songs and dancing and
marks the end of the
festival.

Crawford Market is a colourful indoor
market. It’s a blend of Flemish and
Norman architecture with a bass relief
depicting Indian peasants in wheat fields
just above the main entrance. The frieze
was designed by Lockyard Kipling, father
of the famous Rudyard Kipling. Across
the road stands the Kiplings’ cottage.
The market reminds one of Victorian
London, with its sweet smell of hay. It
was formerly the city’s wholesale produce
market.
Next up are the bazaars of Kalbadevi,
north of Crawford Market. The narrow
lanes of this area are flooded in by
laundry-draped chawls, and people power
brings Mumbai’s traffic to a standstill. It is
a different world to the space, orderliness
and modernity of South Mumbai.
Religious Magnificence
If you want a taste of religion with a
touch of breathtaking view, there are two
places in Mumbai to go to. First is the
Jain temple on Ridge Road, Malabar Hill
where the opulent architecture is sure to
leave you speechless. It is breathtakingly
adorned from the interior with intricate
carvings and frescoes on the walls.
The Haji Ali Mosque is another such
marvel where the rocks exposed at low
tide behind the mosque are a favourite
spot to catch sea breezes. Situated on an
islet near the coast of Worli Mumbai, it is
a masjid and dargah, popular with people
of all faiths. More than anything, go for
the view of sheer splendour and aura.
Other attractions worth seeing
Flora Fountain: a stone fountain situated
in the Fort Business district in South
Mumbai made completely of imported
Portland stone.
The Bhau Daji Lad museum: Initially
names as Victoria and Albert Museum, it
is situated on Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar
Road. It is the oldest museum in the city.
Fashion Street: Housing more than 140
clothes store, it is ‘the’ place to go for, you
guessed it right, fashion. It is located on
MG Road.
Fort: If you want to see the European
roots of the city, go here. It is the
established commercial centre of
Mumbai, among them the Bombay Stock
Exchange on Dalal street.
Malabar Hill: The Hanging Gardens (or
Ferozeshah Mehta Gardens) on top of
the hill, offer a panoramic view of Bombay
over the Arabian Sea - the bay, the
colorful Chowpatty Beach immediately
below, and the imposing buildings of
Nariman Point reaching for the sky.
The “the Queen’s Necklace” at night is a
beauty to behold.
Prince Charles Museum: This museum,
built in the Indo-Saracenic style of
architecture to honour king George V’s
visit to India has three main sections: Art
, Archealogy , & Natural History. It has a
fine collection of Chinese Jade pieces, oil
paintings & miniature paintings.
Film City: Film city is where you will find
stars, stars and more stars in absolutely
broad daylight. It is closed to visitors,
but special permissions can always be
obtained to check out the action.
Getting there
There are many airlines flying to
Mumbai, so getting a flight on
any day of the week is no hassle.
Emirates, Gulf Air, Jet Airways, Oman
Air (starting from an economical
£360 return trip) are just a few of the
airlines to choose from.
Where to eat
The road side snacks aside, there
are plenty of high- end to affordable
places to eat in Mumbai. Go to
Khyber for Punjabi and North Indian
dishes amongst Afghan-inspired
interiors. The food is some of the
best the city has to offer. The other
North Indian restaurant is the
Gaylord and for Mughlai treat go to
Delhi Durbar. SWATI and Soam are
two restaurants in South Bombay
which offer delicious Vegetarian
food. For sea food try the Trishna in
Colaba.
Where to stay
Near the Airport
For the ardent traveller, looking for
a place to stay near the airport or
Central Mumbai is a good option.
Near to the airport are AB Executive
Apartments and The Emerald.
Sahara Hotel and ITC Maratha are
some other comfortable hotels.
Colaba
Here you will find all ranges to suit
your mood and budget. In the five-
star category, there is The Oberoi,
Taj President and the historic Taj
Mahal Hotel. A short way across
the city centre is Marine Drive that
has Marine Plaza, The Oberoi and
InterContinental. Many budget and
low-range hotels and lodges have
opened shop behind the Taj Hotel.
Juhu
Juhu boasts a string of flashy four
and five star hotels. In the expensive
range is JW Marriott and The Leela,
whereas the more affordable ones
are the beach facing Tulip Star and
Holiday Inn. For those on a budget
there is Sea Princess, Ramada Palm
Grove and Sun-N-Sand, which are
packed during the entire year. There
are some more cheaper options
behind the beach area.

Australian
Immigration
Changes
Australian
Immigration
Changes
It has been announced that the fee for each Australian
temp orary work ‘457’ visa will rise from AUS$455 to
AUS$900 from 1st July 2013. The announcement was made
by the Australian Treasurer (as the Finance Minister is
called in Australia), Wayne Swan as part of his 2013 budget.
The change is expected to raise nearly $200m in revenue
for the government over the next four years.
Mr Swan delivered his budget on Tuesday 14th May 2013.
He said that Australia faced tough times and austerity
because of a AUS$17bn hole in the country’s finances. The
Australian government announced in March that, over the
same four year period, it would give $3.4m to the Australian
Fair Work Ombudsman to ensure that Australian
employers do not abuse the 457 visa system.
Duncan Fraser, president of the Australian National
Farmers Federation has said that the increase is likely to
make it harder for Australian agriculture to get the skilled
labour it needs. He told the Australian broadcaster ABC
that the change would make it difficult to ‘get skills out to
country areas where we can’t source those skills locally’.
Higher fees may be ‘a disincentive to employers’
He said that the higher fees were likely to be a ‘disincentive
for employers’ and said that it was ‘a concern’.
It is likely that other employers’ associations will also
criticise the move though The Migration Council of
Australia, an organisation which works to ‘enhance
the productive benefits of Australia’s migration and
humanitarian programs’, had called for an increase in the
fees.
The Temporary Work (Skilled) – Standard Business
Sponsorship (Subclass 457) visa, better known as the 457
visa, is the main visa for skilled workers to work in Australia
on a temporary basis. It enables Australian firms to employ
overseas workers to work in occupations which are on
Australia’s Consolidated Shortage Occupation List (CSOL).
In order to allow a foreign worker to apply for a 457 visa,
the Australian employer will first need to apply to sponsor
the overseas worker and then nominate the overseas
national. The worker will then apply for a 457 visa. 457
visas allow foreign workers to stay and work in Australia
for up to four years.
Australian government claims ‘rorting’ is
widespread’
In February both Mr O’Connor and Australian Prime
Minister Julia Gillard claimed that there had been
widespread abuse (or ‘rorting’) of the 457 visa system. They
said that the 457 visa was being abused by unscrupulous
employers to employ low-wage foreign workers at the
expense of Australian workers who remained unemployed.
Mrs Gillard promised to ‘put Aussie workers first’.
Mr O’Connor claimed on Australian TV in March that about
10% of all 457 visas were obtained by rorting though he
later had to admit that this claim had been ‘a forecast’ and
was not supported by any evidence. Mr O’Connor said that
107,000 457 visas were issued in 2012.
The Australian opposition claims that Mrs Gillard’s
Australian Labor Party government is whipping up
hostility to the 457 visa in an attempt to attract votes
in the Australian general election which is to be held in
September.

The 485 visa was introduced in 2007 and allowed
graduates to stay and work in Australia for 18 months
after graduation. From 23rd March a new regime has been
introduced. Now, some graduates who were granted their
first Australian study visa after November 5th 2011 will be
able to apply to stay for longer.
Graduates with bachelors’ degrees can now stay for up to
two years, those with a master’s degree can stay for two

•	 Be proficient in English to the ‘competent’ level
•	 Be able to prove that you are of ‘good health’

gained a qualification qualifying them to work in an
occupation which is on the Australian Shortage Occupation
List. To qualify you must
•	 Have a degree in a subject closely linked to your
	 profession (e.g. pharmacist with a pharmacy
	degree)
•	 Have been assessed as competent by a suitable
	 assessing authority and have received a letter
	 confirming your competence.
Graduate stream visas will still last for only 18 months
from the date of grant.
Post-study work visas will last up to four years
The Post-Study Work visa is for graduates in any subject
and will allow graduates to stay in Australia and work for
up to four years. In order to qualify for this stream you
must
•	 Have received your first Australian student visa
	 after 5th November 2011.
•	 Hold a qualifying qualification. This will be a
	 bachelor’s or master’s degree or a doctoral degree
	 from an Australian university or other qualifying
	 educational institution.
Under the Post-Study Work Stream, the visa will be valid as
follows:

Well it is fast approaching that time of year again, but don’t despair it
is not too late to maximise your tax, we asked our tax accountants to
come up with 10 tips to maximise your refund this year!
We hope this helps,
over the long term
being smart about
your taxes can make
a huge difference;
don’t pay tax to the
government if you
don’t need to!
1.Keep track of business car use,
(preferably using your diary or a
log book) some many people say they
don’t use their car for work and yet
when quizzed make trips to the bank,
office works, picking up interstate staff
from the airport, attending seminars
and work functions etc. These small
and sometimes infrequent trips can
easily add up to several hundred
dollars of tax deductions, especially if
you keep track of them properly.
2.Have a filing system (even if it is
the proverbial shoe box) for your
work related receipts, things like note
pads, pens, home office equipment,
postage and income cases even
magazine subscriptions are tax
deductible. Also compulsory or
protective clothing. Again many small
receipts when kept quickly add up.
3.Structure your investments to
maximise their tax effectiveness
and invest in tax effective assets to
begin with, if you think your tax bill
will be high this year or you want to
really maximise your refund there are
a range of investment strategies to
achieve this like pre-paying the next
12 months interest on your investment
loans(s).
4.If you want to study for work and
your boss thinks it is a good idea
get them to write a letter supporting
your study, the ATO is getting stricter
and stricter on work related education
deductions.
5.Keep all of your medical receipts;
did you know that if you spend
over $1500 on medical expenses in
a year the ATO will give you 20% of
the excess back? It is amazing how
many people do not even know this
rule exists.
6.Keep track of home office use,
just like you car it is amazing how
much time we all spend working these
days including checking e-mails and
doing research after hours and on the
weekends, if possible keep a diary of
your home office use.
7.Salary sacrifice into your super,
super is a tax effective vehicle
and by paying your salary into it with
pre-tax dollars you are saving yourself
tax and boosting your super balance.
8.Start investing in tax advantaged
investments, you can start by
using our online tools to do a budget
and see how much money you have
available to invest, then look at the
many tax advantaged investments
and investment strategies available.
Ask yourself would you rather
invest your money or pay it to the
government?
9.Keep track of all work related
events and functions during the
year, there are often deductions
related to these events even if the
events themselves are actually free.
10. Lastly if you are still worried
about your tax bill or would
like some personal advice book in to
see one of our tax advisers, contact
us at IC Business Solutions

Managing Your Hair Hair play a very vital role when it comes to the grooming bit, the more your hair are untidy and tangled, the hideous your appearance will be to others, so, make sure that your hair are nicely done before you are going out for an event, party or a date. Apart from being nicely tangled, make sure that your hair look shiny and glossy, this would enhance the beauty of your hair and will make them look gorgeous. Flawless Skin Your skin should be flawless in order to look attractive, now you might think what is flawless; a skin without pimples, acne, scars or bruises is known to be flawless. So, you must make sure that if you possess any of these problems, then consider a dermatologist and get rid of them in order to make your face look really attractive. Highlighting the Eyes Eyes are known to be the most sensitive organ of the body, also, it is considered a medium through which can look deeper into your soul. Hence, it is very important to highlight your eyes when you start with a makeup. Ensure that you choose nice eye shadows and a proficient eye liner in order to make your eyes look really attractive. Choosing The Right Accessories Well, if you cannot afford to spend much on the clothes then ensure that you choose appropriate accessories that should enhance the beauty of your attire. You don’t necessarily have to purchase expensive jewelry, but it has to match with the kind of attire you get into. Coordination Before leaving for a particular event or a date, make sure that you check that everything is in place, crosscheck even the tiniest bit of everything and ensure that all is good and being aligned with each other proficiently.

The first move in your career is very important, you can no doubt change your domain of expertise or career preference, however, the point is that no matter whatever you are indulging into; ensure that you give your best. School or College era is always cherished by most of the people because out innate capabilities are given a chance during that period, to nourish, to flourish so that when we step into the real world, it does not become difficult for us as we know what we would like to accomplish. After College, the real life begins when one step into the world of employment, or you can stay starts working. During the first few months, it looks like a difficult strife to get the perfect job, but one it is in your hands and you get on with it, it is then you start hearing the music, coming across various challenges, overcoming them, sometimes getting stuck up in them. Here are few tips that can always keep you going in your first job, and will let you overcome the initial blocks of your career: Understand the work culture and the expectations of your superiors: You being new to the corporate world, will have a lot of things going in your head related to your role, however, if you really want to succeed here, then it is better to become a fresh student and unlearn everything, make your mind absolutely blank and grasp as much as you can from your seniors. Get to know about their expectations, share your views but in a polite man- ner and together come to a healthy conclusion which should be beneficiary for both. Hard work: Working hard always lets your senior get to see the positive side of yours and hence they make a positive impression in their minds about you. So, make sure that even if you have to stay a little late to make your boss feel that you are really interested in your job then go for it. Frequent Updates: It’s good to keep giving updates to your boss on a regular basis, this will make him feel that you are really tak- ing interest in your job, again will show up as a positive sign for you. Offer a helping hand: Offering a hand to help others always makes you cre- ate a good rapport with your fellow colleagues, not only this; it is also con- sidered as that you are a great team player. Once you prove yourself as a great team player it then will become easier for you to expect a promotion. Indulge with only positive people: At work, you will get to meet all type of people, some will possess, positive attitude towards life and work, these are the people to be with rather than being with slackers, who always are interested in finding flaws either in the company or in the management. So, if you really wish to grow in life, then being with positive people will always prove out to be your biggest strength. 6 | INDIAN MIRROR 2013 www.indianmirror.com.au
  • 7. by Nav Bajaj I believe that having friendships is an important aspect of a teens growing years. Having friends is not as important as choosing friendships wisely. It requires making good judgement, being perceptive and choosing judiciously. Building good and healthy friendships requires effort, commitment and honesty. A healthy friendship will constantly be stretching, growing and expanding. IF YOU RUN WITH THE TURKEYS, YOU WILL NOT SOAR WITH THE EAGLES. The development of a true friendship is a great feeling.There are some friendships that start well but don’t last for long and there are some that seem to withstand everything that comes and end up lasting a long time.True friends won’t bring you down or do things to get you into trouble.The friends who will stick with you through good times and bad times are true friends.A wise friendship is characterized as a relationship between two people and is based on admiration, respect, positivity, courtesy, openness, empathy and support. Just as it is important to make effective decisions about other aspects of your life, such as your diet, fitness levels, tv programs, subjects and many more, it is equally important to make wise decisions with whom you have friendships with.What does a good friendship mean to you? How do you differentiate and decide on whom to further friendships with? There are many ancient spiritual teachings that educate us to choose our company, for it with will define who we become.We are characterized by the company we keep. Bad company potentially corrupts good habits and values.Therefore the company we keep both reflects and shapes the kind of people we become. Despite what we may think of ourselves, we are influenced by the environment we live in and the people we associate with. So if you want to be more hardworking and studious, choose a friend who is hardworking and studious.There is a common saying;“If you run with the turkeys, you will not soar with the eagles.”Therefore, make wise choices starting today! 1Choose friends who share or reflect similar values with you including positive family values. Friends mirror each other.Therefore choose friends who do not have destructive habits. 2Avoid peer pressure. Good judgement takes place in a stress-free mental space. 3Be determined to be your own person and choose friends that respect you for that. 4Find friends with some similar interests. It would be helpful if you had some things in common. Do also choose friends with diverse positive qualities that will lead you to positive growth, who will help you to discover new ways of doing things and help you to overcome challenges in a constructive manner. 5Recognize the differences in healthy and unhealthy friends and decide which friends you want to stay connected with. 6Define and know what you want in a friend. Seek out those qualities.You will appreciate these friendships when you are clear about the important aspects that provide the pillars for a wise friendship. HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN CHOOSING YOUR FRIENDSHIPS. 7 | INDIAN MIRROR 2013 www.indianmirror.com.au

No one in this world can force you to leave it forever, but there are people who can aware you about its reality, the choice is yours. So, if you need to lose weight, ensure that those tempting French fries, yummy chocolates and pizzas are considered as an invisible object by you. A Beer should not be bearded anymore: This simply means that you need to cut down on all the liquids that possesses a lot of calories, for instance, a beer; it encompasses huge number of calories. Instead, drink fat free juices and ensure that there is a lot of water intake by you. The more water gets in your body, the more fatty acids gets out of it. Cut Your Food Intake: Cutting food intake does not mean that you should stop eating, no, not at all and you should never do this. All you have to ensure is that the amounts of calories you are taking in, are sufficient for you, overeating exceeds the amount of calorie intake and hence result in obesity or increases weight. Goodbye Night Meals: Saying goodbye to night meals means that you are not going to eat at late nights, say just couple of minutes before you sleep.

Gateway of India Situated close to the waterfront in South Mumbai, this is a monument stretching to a height of 26 meters. It gets its name because it was the first monument seen by visitors arriving by boat in days gone by.

  • 25. Crawford Market is a colourful indoor market. It’s a blend of Flemish and Norman architecture with a bass relief depicting Indian peasants in wheat fields just above the main entrance. The frieze was designed by Lockyard Kipling, father of the famous Rudyard Kipling. Across the road stands the Kiplings’ cottage. The market reminds one of Victorian London, with its sweet smell of hay. It was formerly the city’s wholesale produce market. Next up are the bazaars of Kalbadevi, north of Crawford Market. The narrow lanes of this area are flooded in by laundry-draped chawls, and people power brings Mumbai’s traffic to a standstill. It is a different world to the space, orderliness and modernity of South Mumbai. Religious Magnificence If you want a taste of religion with a touch of breathtaking view, there are two places in Mumbai to go to. First is the Jain temple on Ridge Road, Malabar Hill where the opulent architecture is sure to leave you speechless. It is breathtakingly adorned from the interior with intricate carvings and frescoes on the walls. The Haji Ali Mosque is another such marvel where the rocks exposed at low tide behind the mosque are a favourite spot to catch sea breezes.

Malabar Hill: The Hanging Gardens (or Ferozeshah Mehta Gardens) on top of the hill, offer a panoramic view of Bombay over the Arabian Sea - the bay, the colorful Chowpatty Beach immediately below, and the imposing buildings of Nariman Point reaching for the sky. The “the Queen’s Necklace” at night is a beauty to behold. Prince Charles Museum: This museum, built in the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture to honour king George V’s visit to India has three main sections: Art , Archealogy , & Natural History. It has a fine collection of Chinese Jade pieces, oil paintings & miniature paintings. Film City: Film city is where you will find stars, stars and more stars in absolutely broad daylight.

Emirates, Gulf Air, Jet Airways, Oman Air (starting from an economical £360 return trip) are just a few of the airlines to choose from. Where to eat The road side snacks aside, there are plenty of high- end to affordable places to eat in Mumbai. Go to Khyber for Punjabi and North Indian dishes amongst Afghan-inspired interiors. The food is some of the best the city has to offer. The other North Indian restaurant is the Gaylord and for Mughlai treat go to Delhi Durbar. SWATI and Soam are two restaurants in South Bombay which offer delicious Vegetarian food. For sea food try the Trishna in Colaba.

  • 29. Australian Immigration Changes Australian Immigration Changes It has been announced that the fee for each Australian temp orary work ‘457’ visa will rise from AUS$455 to AUS$900 from 1st July 2013. The announcement was made by the Australian Treasurer (as the Finance Minister is called in Australia), Wayne Swan as part of his 2013 budget. The change is expected to raise nearly $200m in revenue for the government over the next four years. Mr Swan delivered his budget on Tuesday 14th May 2013. He said that Australia faced tough times and austerity because of a AUS$17bn hole in the country’s finances. The Australian government announced in March that, over the same four year period, it would give $3.4m to the Australian Fair Work Ombudsman to ensure that Australian employers do not abuse the 457 visa system. Duncan Fraser, president of the Australian National Farmers Federation has said that the increase is likely to make it harder for Australian agriculture to get the skilled labour it needs. He told the Australian broadcaster ABC that the change would make it difficult to ‘get skills out to country areas where we can’t source those skills locally’. Higher fees may be ‘a disincentive to employers’ He said that the higher fees were likely to be a ‘disincentive for employers’ and said that it was ‘a concern’. It is likely that other employers’ associations will also criticise the move though The Migration Council of Australia, an organisation which works to ‘enhance the productive benefits of Australia’s migration and humanitarian programs’, had called for an increase in the fees. The Temporary Work (Skilled) – Standard Business Sponsorship (Subclass 457) visa, better known as the 457 visa, is the main visa for skilled workers to work in Australia on a temporary basis. It enables Australian firms to employ overseas workers to work in occupations which are on Australia’s Consolidated Shortage Occupation List (CSOL). In order to allow a foreign worker to apply for a 457 visa, the Australian employer will first need to apply to sponsor the overseas worker and then nominate the overseas national. The worker will then apply for a 457 visa. 457 visas allow foreign workers to stay and work in Australia for up to four years. Australian government claims ‘rorting’ is widespread’ In February both Mr O’Connor and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard claimed that there had been widespread abuse (or ‘rorting’) of the 457 visa system. They said that the 457 visa was being abused by unscrupulous employers to employ low-wage foreign workers at the expense of Australian workers who remained unemployed. Mrs Gillard promised to ‘put Aussie workers first’. Mr O’Connor claimed on Australian TV in March that about 10% of all 457 visas were obtained by rorting though he later had to admit that this claim had been ‘a forecast’ and was not supported by any evidence. Mr O’Connor said that 107,000 457 visas were issued in 2012. The Australian opposition claims that Mrs Gillard’s Australian Labor Party government is whipping up hostility to the 457 visa in an attempt to attract votes in the Australian general election which is to be held in September.

  • 32. Well it is fast approaching that time of year again, but don’t despair it is not too late to maximise your tax, we asked our tax accountants to come up with 10 tips to maximise your refund this year! We hope this helps, over the long term being smart about your taxes can make a huge difference; don’t pay tax to the government if you don’t need to! 1.Keep track of business car use, (preferably using your diary or a log book) some many people say they don’t use their car for work and yet when quizzed make trips to the bank, office works, picking up interstate staff from the airport, attending seminars and work functions etc. These small and sometimes infrequent trips can easily add up to several hundred dollars of tax deductions, especially if you keep track of them properly. 2.Have a filing system (even if it is the proverbial shoe box) for your work related receipts, things like note pads, pens, home office equipment, postage and income cases even magazine subscriptions are tax deductible. Also compulsory or protective clothing. Again many small receipts when kept quickly add up. 3.Structure your investments to maximise their tax effectiveness and invest in tax effective assets to begin with, if you think your tax bill will be high this year or you want to really maximise your refund there are a range of investment strategies to achieve this like pre-paying the next 12 months interest on your investment loans(s). 4.If you want to study for work and your boss thinks it is a good idea get them to write a letter supporting your study, the ATO is getting stricter and stricter on work related education deductions. 5.Keep all of your medical receipts; did you know that if you spend over $1500 on medical expenses in a year the ATO will give you 20% of the excess back? It is amazing how many people do not even know this rule exists. 6.Keep track of home office use, just like you car it is amazing how much time we all spend working these days including checking e-mails and doing research after hours and on the weekends, if possible keep a diary of your home office use. 7.Salary sacrifice into your super, super is a tax effective vehicle and by paying your salary into it with pre-tax dollars you are saving yourself tax and boosting your super balance. 8.Start investing in tax advantaged investments, you can start by using our online tools to do a budget and see how much money you have available to invest, then look at the many tax advantaged investments and investment strategies available. Ask yourself would you rather invest your money or pay it to the government? 9.Keep track of all work related events and functions during the year, there are often deductions related to these events even if the events themselves are actually free. 10.
