The Limits of Sexuality Education: Love, Sex, and Adolescent Masculinities in Urban India (Routledge, 2024) explores different strands of thinking about sexuality education in contemporary urban India. It interrogates the limits of sexuality education as we know it today by rethinking adolescent masculinities in middle-class urban India. This book contributes to the wide gap in theorising sexuality education and adolescent masculinities in urban India. It presents an adolescent perspective on sexuality education, looks at adolescent love from the school teachers' perspective, and tries to understand a teacher's negotiations with student romance. It unravels the sexual and romantic lives of adolescents and examines the circulation of sexual knowledge and sources of information on sex that adolescent boys in India have access to. This book uncovers the limits of sexuality education by examining State, feminist, Christian, and sexological materials on sexuality education in Mumbai and Delhi. Based on detailed research and narratives from teachers, young men, and women, the book explores adolescent male romance and its affective registers, adolescent male sexual knowledge, and the regulation of romance in school spaces. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of education, sexuality and gender studies, masculinity studies, and sex education as well as those interested in education policy, education politics, educational research, and inclusion and special education. Located at the intersection of sexuality studies, education, masculinity studies, and cultural studies, it will also appeal to those working in sexuality education in urban India within the complex web of the middle classes, consumerism, post-feminism, romance, adolescent masculinities, and cinema. Rituparna Patgiri has a PhD in Sociology from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi. Her research interests lie in the areas of food, media, gender and public. She is also one of the co-founders of Doing Sociology. Patgiri can be reached at @Rituparna37 on Twitter. Learn more about your ad choices.

Singular Selves: An Introduction to Singles Studies (Routledge, 2024) edited By Ketaki Chowkhani and Craig Wynne examines, for perhaps the first time, singlehood at the intersections of race, media, language, culture, literature, space, health, and life satisfaction. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing from sociology, literary studies, medical humanities, race studies, linguistics, demographic studies, and critical geography to understand singlehood in the world today. This collection of essays aims to establish the discipline of Singles Studies, finding new ways of examining it from various disciplinary and cultural perspectives. It begins with laying the field and then moves on to critically look at how race has shaped the way we understand singlehood in the West and how class, age, gender, privilege, and the media play a role in shaping singlehood. It argues for a need for increased interdisciplinarity within the field, for example, analyzing singlehood from the perspective of medical humanities. The volume also explores the role workplace, living arrangements, financial status, and gender play in single people's life satisfaction. With an interdisciplinary and transnational approach, this interdisciplinary volume seeks to establish Singles Studies as a truly global discipline. This pathbreaking volume would be of interest to students and researchers of sociology, literature, linguistics, media studies, and psychology.

David Liew talks to Ketaki Sharma, a staff specialist at the National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance, about the latest developments in COVID-19 vaccines and what the future of vaccination looks like in Australia—who needs boosters and which vaccine should they have? Read the full article by Ketaki and her co-author, Jean Li-Kim-Moy, in Australian Prescriber. This interview was conducted on 21 October 2023. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation released recommendations on the use of monovalent Omicron XBB.1.5 COVID-19 vaccines on 20 November 2023.

Please watch: "Home tour vlog | Beautiful house vastu | Delhi Vlog | Travel Vlogs | Dr Puneet Chawla" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_vgkIOzpcE --~-- #vastu #drpuneetchawla # Shiva is the epitome of worship for Hindus. He is revered the most as he is very soft by heart which melts for every devotee who calls out to him with love and dedication. That is why Shiva is also called ‘Bholenath.' However, just the way Shiva gets impressed and happy very fast, he even gets angry in the flick of a second. So, it is very important to remember what makes him happy and what makes him annoyed so that we avoid any such act or offering which might offend him. Today's topic of discussion is what does Shiva dislike the most. 1. Ketaki flowers- Once upon a time, Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu engaged themselves in a battle to prove their supremacy among the Divine Trinity. To put the argument to rest, Lord Shiva had to intervene and asked both Lord Brahma and Vishnu to find his origin and end. After trying to the best of his ability, Lord Vishnu failed and admitted his mistake while Lord Brahma lied by taking help from Ketaki flowers who supported him in his endeavour. When Shiva learnt about their lie, he got very annoyed and out of anger beheaded one of Brahma's head. He then turned to Ketaki flowers and cursed her of not being able to be used in any religious offerings to any of the Hindu Gods and Goddesses hence forth. 2. Tulsi leaves- Basil leaves are a taboo to be offered on the Shivaling, the reason being that Tulsi leaves is a representative of Goddesses Laxmi who in turn is lord Vishnu's wife. Hence it cannot e offered to any other God. Tulsi is also a variant of the Basil plant. Hence that too would be out of the question. 3. Haldi- The sacred Haldi or turmeric powder should never be offered on the Shivlinga because the former is considered to enhance the beauty of females while Shivlinga is symbolic of Lord Shiva. 4. Coconut water- Anything that is offered to Lord Shiva on the Shivalinga is forbidden from being consumed, hence coconut water is never offered to the devotee, the reason being that coconut water offered to the deities should be consumed mandatorily in the form of Prasadam. 5. Kumkum- Lord Shiva being the Supreme destroyer, offering kumkum or sindoor to him on his auspicious symbol, the Shivalinga, is not considered auspicious as sindoor is applied by married Hindu women to safeguard the long life of their husbands and is believed to be very sacred for them. Remember, Lord Shiva is considered to be the destroyer but this also stands true that it is very easy to appease him. Keeping the above things in mind can shower you with endless blessings from the Lord in no time at all. Dr. Puneet Chawla is a Life Guru, guiding and mentoring the followers to solve their life problems and make a easy living. He corrects the reasons of troublesome life by way of Vastu, Mantra and Tantra Mandalas. Being an intuitive personality he senses the negative energies, the reasons of problems and rarely predicts the life decisions too. He is a Shiv and Shakti Sadhak and guides people through Shivpath. ============================== Like, Share,and Subscribe!!!

We talk with Dr. Ketaki Ganti, an Associate Research Scientist in the Lowen lab at Emory University School of Medicine, who studies influenza viruses.

Ketaki is quite the outlier- an economist by training who you really want to keep talking to! Plus, she's a corporate warrior turned successful entrepreneur. Ms Sharma is not just an interesting person but has informed views on a range of topics relevant to young professionals and one question led to another. All of which explains why this podcast interview happened. So, the interview covers a raft of insights on economics, using big data, the importance of coding, how to stand out, women and resilience, the entrepreneurship mindset (and why you don't have to quit being an employee), work/life balance and mental wellness, the importance of reading etc, all important topics that I strongly believe in. Practical, positive and persuasive. Enjoy!

About the Speaker - Ketaki Shah (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ketaki-shah-87742350/) Ketaki is the Marketing and PR manager in Nando's UAE. With a career starting in customer service, consumers were at the center of everything she did in her career. In her present role, she overlooks the marketing for the retail chain here in UAE through retail and online channels She started her career with KingFisher Airlines with customer service and managed their loyalty programs towards the end. In this episode The African brand heritage. Covid has brought about some unforeseen challenges especially in the food industry. With a retail footprint like Nando's, how are they adjusting marketing to the new normal? Are there things that you are doing that you never could have imagined pre-Covid? Many food brands have started to invest aggressively in their own e-commerce machinery. While the overall feeling is that the marketplace will remain the preferred channels of order, do they think own e-commerce in food is something viable and should be there? How much of the own e-commerce is should actually be to drive sales or is it just brand hygiene? Has their preference of digital as a communication channel gone up or is it still as much as before? How does selling the peri-peri sauce through retail fit into the overall marketing strategy of Nando's? How are they managing the human impact of such a huge challenge to humankind?

This episode of the #100sareepact Reloaded podcast features the ever so gorgeous Ketaki Golatkar. Her heart warming story about the Narayanpet she wore for our chat, her stories about her saree wears, life, attitude and beliefs. What struck me about our conversation was our ability as women to be “this and that”. Seamlessly. Ketaki speaks of attempting to make mango pickle and then with as much ease she mentions stepping on to a sports arena wielding a microphone. This straddling of many universes, women do it often and with so much grace. Previously working at Star Sports where she was referred to the “sareewali madam” by the Pro Kabaddi players, Ketaki has now moved to a pivotal role in media and communications at the International Cricket Council. Here’s wishing this dynamic trailblazer the very best in her next innings at the ICC headquarters in Dubai. #weareallconnected #wewearourhistory #everysareehasastory #tellmeyourstory #gratitude Ketaki Golatkar, a media and communications professional, dancer, woman, talks about her Narayanpeth saree.

Welcome to another episode of *CANDID TALKS-with BharatV*....In this episode we will be talking to Ketaki Jani - *INDIA's 1st ALOPECIAN Model....* “ *Copyright* @ {Bharat Vatsa 2020}.

How do you grow empathy and protect the future non-human animals in a part of the world most people will never visit? One company has the answer – and the science to back it up. Krikey, a mobile gaming company founded by Jhvani and Ketaki Shriram, recently partnered with The Ellen Fund to launch Gorillas!, a 3D, augmented reality game that allows people to learn about the lives of critically endangered mountain gorillas in Rwanda. What makes this fascinating is not just the adorable graphics and enjoyable gaming aspect, but that it’s backed by scientific evidence that indicates the augmented reality experience actually grows empathy in adults. Despite my best efforts, I am unable to succinctly explain the various aspects of what Jhvani and Ketaki have created with Krikey, so let’s dive into the interview with these two incredible people and hear why I’m telling people that they may have developed one of the tools that could actually change the hearts and minds of humankind.

It was really a historic decision by the Govt of India and draft and implement the basic right to education for all its citizens. What does it say? And moreover, is it working in the way that will achieve what it intends to achieve? Sneha and Ketaki discuss this in this two part episode.

Lord Shiva- Is He The fearsome destroyer, or the compassionate forgiver? In this podcast, we narrate the story depicted in the picture, where Lord Shiva humbles Vishnu and Brahma, and forgives the Ketaki Flower for uttering a falsehood. Listen to the podcast where we discuss the mercy of Lord Shiva. Om Namah Shivaya!

Ketaki and Anubhav try to understand the caste system. We talk to Akhilesh who tells us how Caste is not the right word to capture the system. The right words in India are Jati and Varna. Caste should be replaced with Jati. Jati was economic and not social. There was a Jati of potters, weavers, goldsmith’s or professions. It pre industrial time each village would have different communities grouped by profession. They shared best practices and lived together. Now lets look at Varnas. There are four Varna’s in India. 1. Brahmin 2. Kshatriya 3. Vaishya 4. Shudra There is a mapping between Jatis and Varnas. This mapping was never fixed. A Jati could move between Varnas. It was not a rigid system. when the Varna system was created, it was not on the basis of birth but it was on the basis of Guna (propensities) and Karma (deeds). Varna were cased on Guna and Karma. Propensity of a human decided his or her Varna. Jati might be best understood as a job family. Today, we look at the caste system in a rigid way. There are problems with the caste system that we own. In today’s urban centre my Jati have no bearing on my life. There is still discrimination in villages and it is our responsibility to see that it changes. Various attempts are being page. Interestingly this caste system is not implemented by law. Its a part of our society and it is slowly dying. For example, you will not ask a stranger or your friend in a city, what is his or her Jati or caste. A certain section of society is still being persecuted but the govt and people are working hard to eliminate this. Like any good story, there are two sides to the caste system. Most people are reluctant to talk about what was good about the caste system. Lets be the minority and talk about its positive aspects too. Thomas Jefferson had slaves but he is also seen a positive figure and the founding father of the US. There was a time when slavery was accepted. Same holds for the caste system. New caste systems are coming into place today too. If you want to become a good potter you can apprentice or learn from your father. There was no university to become a potter. Your home was your university. You inherited customers and skills because of your lineage. Since potters lived together, they gave each other strength and their voice had weight. They could set prices. There was no insurance in pre-industrial times. The Jati provide insurance too. Its good to see this as a guild or union in today’s parlance. People say, "I'm born into a caste, I’m not allowed to change my caste it”. Very few people are able to move to another caste, a lot of people draw generalities based on your caste". Replace "Caste" with "Country" in the above sentence. Then you will realise how many such categorisations exist in the world today. Its not just India. You can replace caste with “economic status” and these are just mental shortcuts to help you make sense of the world. This is common throughout the world. Unfortunately, this is basic human nature. Everyone being equal is does not mean everyone is the same. Our countries diversity is what makes it beautiful. Our knowledge and artisan traditions are diverse and rich. They make India different from the world. Appreciate this diversity and you will love India. We discuss the impact of the industrial revolution on society and India's Jatis and Varnas. Let’s take the Pottery example further. Potters as a community - Jati - were involved in all facets of pottery. The Technical, scientific , design and commercial aspects of pottery were responsibilities of the Jati and everyone from the household participated in these activities. The price at which a pot was sold also decided by the Jati based on the buyer. A low income buyer was charged less than a rich person for the same pot. This discriminatory pricing was decided by the Jati and for every product. https://delhishoppingtour.com

Ketaki and Anubhav met with RJ Sarthak Kaushik in Delhi and asked him a ton of questions! We asked him: About his radio career in Delhi Why he started playing English music on radio in English? State of English radio in Delhi? How did he end up without any opportunities in radio even though he was the most recognizable voice in radio at that time? How has Delhi changed over the years? What is the best way to see Delhi? Why does he like Mehrauli? What’s interesting about the Red Fort, Delhi? Where to eat good food in Delhi? Where to hear live music in Delhi? In this episode, we learn about the most famous English radio voice in Delhi. RJ Sarthak shares his story and what he loves about Delhi. Why did he start playing English music? It was because he wanted to be cool like the rest of the kids. Why is radio his passion project and the ups and down in his career. Sarthak reminisced about Forces Request, a radio show, where he would take requests from the Indian armed forces posted all over the large country of India. He is still holding on to the postcards he got from the soldiers as prized possessions. We also discuss BBC trained journalists who trained Sarthak to be a clean RJ. He compares the analog days of radio to the social media driven media of today. We asked how he ended up without any opportunities in radio even though he was the most recognizable voice in radio at that time? He was quick to point out that building a radio station is hard and that this was a difficult but necessary period in his life. He found out who his real friends are. We discuss how has Delhi changed. The people of Delhi have changed. What is the best way to see Delhi. Why does Sarthak like the Mehrauli Archeological park. The drive he would like tourists to take to see Delhi from the revolt of 1857 to New Delhi via the city of Shajahanabad. See the less famous side of the Red fort - Salimgarh fort. The Elephant gate. Be safe and try to do a late night drive, post 10PM through new Delhi via: Shantipath Rashtrapati bhavan Parliament house ISBT North Campus of the Delhi University Bara Hindu Rao - Mutiny memorial Metcalfe house and back to new delhi Its a drive through history. What should one eat in Delhi? Sarthak believes that you have to go to Old Delhi to get the best food in Delhi and to soak in Delhi. Its one of a kind place. You have to keep your eyes open in Old Delhi, there is so much to see if you observe it in detail. Old Delhi still holds the heart of Delhi. Don't get Sarthak started about Music. The Piano man Jazz club, the bar cat, etc. Delhi has the most promising Jazz performers in Delhi. The are so many fusion bands trying to mix Indian music with Jazz and pop. Its a vibrant scene. There are great bands and at least two small venues playing live music here. The live music audience in Delhi is great. We reminisce about Rhythm and Blues, the music store in Delhi and Big Joe's which used to house the crossword music store. The owner of that store is now working with a large music label. Amarras records is creating Barmer Boys and analog vinyl records being created in Delhi. We talk about the Mahindra theatre awards in Delhi. There is a lot of theatre in Delhi. Delhi also is the fashion hub of the country. The designer who won the woolmark prize lives in Delhi. Its the biggest prize in fashion. Suket Dhir does sustainable fashion and he own the award. So, there are so many faces for Delhi. Seek and you shall find.., the face of Delhi that you are looking for. "Dont judge delhi. First feel Delhi, It can come across as a heartless city but there is a beating heat. It needs to be felt and heard.”

We are so pleased to bring this Episode to you. Ketaki and I spoke with Devdutt Pattnaik and got his answers to common questions asked by travellers to Delhi, India. Devdutt Pattanaik writes on relevance of mythology in modern times, especially in areas of management, governance and leadership. Trained in medicine, he worked for 15 years in the healthcare and pharma industries before he focused on his passion full time. He is author of 30 books and 600 columns, with bestsellers such as My Gita, Jaya, Sita, Business Sutra and the 7 Secret Series. He was a speaker at TEDIndia 2009 and spoke on Myths that Mystify, East versus West. His TV shows include Business Sutra on CNBC-TV18 and Devlok We cover a lot of questions in this conversation with Devdutt: 1. When travellers check in to a hotel, the hotel greets them with a dot on the forehead or Tilak. These travellers often ask us,  why? What is this supposed to mean? Is that how everybody is welcome home so why don't we start with that? 2. How is the Tilak different from the Bindi and a lot of different smears of ashes and other things that people have one their foreheads? 3. We get a lot of questions around the millions of gods that exist in India. How do we make sense of it? Who do you pray to? Does everybody pray to the same god? or can you pick your own god or are these just symbols of a great person? What is the best way to interpret this? 4. Ok so depending on your state of mind or state of being you can you change your your God? 5. And many handed many headed god? 6. How should someone make sense of Hinduism? Is it best understood as a philosophy first? 7. Why is that one god is worshipped on one day and another god on another day? 8. A lot of guests talk about Buddhism, Hinduism and not as much about Jainism but what is a good way to contrast Buddhism Hinduism? Some people say that buddhism is a sanitised form of Hinduism, is that fair? 9. I’m dealing with this right now, my daughter is 13 and she is asking us why are doing these artis and bhajans. Our best answer is that its a ritual and do it until you have a strong point of view. 10. Are there any unifying principles around the practice of spirituality in India 11. Would you say purusharthas are universally understood in India 12. What is the best way to understand India. Is it this concept of diversity? 13. What about the use of drugs and pharmaceuticals in India. Bhang is understood  to be ok to have in India. How should we talk about this. 14. Talking about intoxicants, various temples in India offer alcohol and meat but we talk of Hindus as a vegetarian society? Are all hindu’s vegetarian? 15. Yoga and Ashrams, does everyone do Yoga and meditation 16. What are the other potted plants (exported ideas) from India? 17. Why are certain plants and animals worshipped. 18. What about Rangolis and mandalas. Can anyone make them their own? 19. People get worried when we say that you are born into a religion or a caste. How do we talk about the caste system in India? 20. Its a form a limited mobility? 21. Two other potted plants come to mind, like a Guru. Do you have to have a guru? 22. What is the difference between Gurus, Sadhu’s and Priests? 23. What about Sufism, have you had a chance to explain it to people 24. As you’ve studied so much of Indian Mythology philosophy, has that led to a personal spiritual practice for you?
