Playing Five Gods is easy and fun. Just choose your stake and tap the Spin button. You can start as low as Rs. 4 or go as high as Rs. 9000. Once you spin, the five reels turn, symbols land, and the gods may reward you with generous prizes.

And if all five reels are filled with full Wilds, you’ll unlock the biggest reward: 5,000 your stake!

Scatters Unlock the Gods’ Favor

  • 3 Scatters summon 8 Free Spins
  • 4 Scatters grant 12 Free Spins

Dr Ramesh Mehta, a senior cardiologist based in Ahmedabad, added, “Ensuring that a cardiac drug like Nicorandil remains effective without refrigeration is a major step forward, particularly for patients in remote regions. We’ve long seen efficacy compromised due to storage issues. This advancement will save lives and improve treatment consistency.”

Tackling the Cardiovascular Disease Burden
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality in India. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in India, accounting for almost 18% of all female deaths.

Great Lakes Institute of Management Hosts HR and L&D Conclave on Workforce 4.0, Exploring AI-Driven Talent Strategies

The second edition of the HR and L&D Conclave, hosted by Great Lakes Institute of Management, Gurgaon, brought together over 75 senior professionals from HR and L&D functions. Centered on the theme “Workforce 4.0 – Human Capital Strategies in a Digital-First World,” the conclave served as a high-impact platform for leaders to explore the evolving intersection of technology, talent, and transformation.

Mr Suresh Narayanan, Nestle MD and Chairman, being felicitated at HR and L&D Conclave on Workforce 4.0

With participation from nearly 40 top organizations across various sectors, the event saw prominent CHROs and L&D heads from across India’s business hubs – Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore – reinforcing its stature as a premier forum for strategic HR dialogue.

The event was graced by the presence of Mr. Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and Managing Director of Nestl India. It featured senior HR leaders and CHROs from organizations such as Adani Enterprises, KPMG, Schneider Electric, UnitedHealth Group, Bayer, Cigniti Technologies, Nestle, Epsilon, Air Liquide, CVENT, Material, Thomson Reuters, Landis+Gyr, Niva Bupa, HFFC, Inbrew Beverages, HCL Tech, Grant Thorton, and Altimetrik.

The highlight was a fireside chat with Mr. Suresh Narayanan, Chairman and MD of Nestl India. With over 45 years in the FMCG industry, he offered powerful insights on leadership in the digital age. Emphasizing purpose, values, empowerment, and resilience, he noted, “The essentials of leadership should not change. These are: 1. Purpose for what you do and why you do it, 2. Values that you enshrine and demonstrate, 3. The capacity you have brought to orchestrate and empower, and 4. The ability to withstand challenges and still achieve success. The role of technology is to help humans be humans, not machines. The more we make humans become machines, the less we will be embedding technology as an assistant and aid.” His grounded philosophy of leadership-rooted in character and compassion-offered a refreshing perspective in today’s fast-paced, tech-driven business environment.

The event was divided into three panel discussions. Three panels tackled critical themes – AI in Talent Management, Personalized Learning Systems, and Leadership in the Digital Era – each offering actionable insights for building future-ready teams.

Over 75 accomplished CHROs and L&D leaders from across the country made the event a vibrant source of practical insights and takeaways. The leadership lessons by Suresh Narayanan, CMD of Nestle India, were a beacon of light for business leaders. Great Lakes Institute of Management Gurgaon, is committed to shaping the workforce of the future by partnering with HR leaders and their organizations for talent recruitment as well as for their learning & development goals through customized Management Development Programs (MDPs).”

Reflecting on the discussion,Nidhi Vinod, Senior Director, Learning Organisation Development, Epsilon, said, “It was absolutely amazing to learn from fellow fraternity members and hear about best practices shared by other organisations on the integration of AI in HR. The quality of the event was not surprising, considering it was hosted by Great Lakes. I’m truly amazed by the work Great Lakes is doing, particularly in the space of executive education.”

As digital transformation continues to reshape the world of work, the World Economic Forum estimates that nearly 60% of employees will require upskilling or reskilling by 2027. Workforce 4.0 reflects this new reality, where agility, adaptability, and the seamless integration of human intelligence with technology are crucial for building future-ready teams.

Divine Arrival After Twenty Years of Waiting: Lord Sri Ram, Lakshman, Sita, and Hanuman Ji Grace New Navadvip Dham

In a breathtaking series of divine events, the long-awaited arrival of Lord Sri Ram, Lakshman, Sita, and Hanuman Ji at New Navadvip Dham unfolded in a manner that left devotees in awe. What seemed like a simple deity transfer turned into an extraordinary Lila (divine pastime), revealing the unmistakable hand of Lord Ram guiding every step of the way.

A 20-Year Wait Ends with 144 years of Celestial Alignment

The journey of these deities began nearly two decades ago when HG Arun Prabhu approached HH Tamal Krishna Goswami Maharaj to install Sita Ram deities. His Holiness personally customized the deities by instructing the actual height of deities. They arrived at Houston, only to remain in storage box, awaiting their destined home. When the New Navadvip project was initiated, the team discovered that the location shared the same latitude band (with in 26 and 27 degree) as Ayodhya, the birthplace of Lord Ram. This realization ignited a strong desire among the devotees to bring Lord Ram to this sacred site.

What happened next was nothing short of miraculous-without knowing of the devotees’ wishes, HG Vatsal prabhu, a senior disciple of Srila Prabhupada mentioned about the deities to New Navadvip Dham team in later 2024 however team completely forgot about it. On 31st Dec 2024, HG Sarvajaya Madhava Prabhu and his wife Sadhvi Radharani visited Houston temple on the way to Cruise to Mexico. At temple, he was approached by priest to ask temple authority to give Lord Ram, Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman ji to New Navadvip Dham. On 1st Jan 2025, they had darshan of deities who were staying in garage on one humble devotee. After few discussions with temple president HG Saranga Thakur Prabhu and HG Shyam Sundar Prabhu both blessed to take the deities to New Navadvip Dham. It seemed as if Lord Ram had been waiting for this very moment for nearly 20 years.

A Test of Faith in Houston

On the auspicious day of Vasant Pacamī (February 2, 2025), Sarvajaya Madhava Prabhu with his wife Sadhvi Radharani traveled to Houston to bring the deities home. A departure ceremony was held, with temple leaders and devotees joyfully sending off Lord Ram and His divine entourage to their new home.

However, an unexpected challenge arose when Arun Prabhu, a devotee from Houston working on establishing a Lord Ram temple, learned about the transfer. Confused and distressed, he expressed his disappointment, believing the deities had been promised to his project. This led to a discussion between Sarvajaya Madhava Prabhu, the temple president, and senior devotee HG Shyam Sundar Prabhu.

Faced with uncertainty, Sarvajaya Madhava Prabhu sought divine guidance from Lord Jagannath and consulted Vatsal Prabhu. The decision became clear-Lord Ram’s will was to go to New Navadvip Dham.

Unmistakable Signs from Lord Ram

Despite the decision, doubts still lingered in Sarvajaya Madhava Prabhu’s heart about deities desires. As he embarked on the journey back with the deities, he encountered a series of undeniable divine signs:

  • The SUV he originally planned to use was too small, so he was offered a larger vehicle-which happened to be a Dodge RAM! A clear signal from Lord Ram Himself.

  • As he was sharing the above lila with Madhava Vrajanatha Prabhu over a phone call, they stopped at a random gas station in the middle of nowhere while the call was still on. As he entered, he was greeted by a song playing in the background:”Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna. Now, I really want to see you (Hare Rama), really want to be with you (Hare Rama), really want to see you, Lord.”

The song, sung by George Harrison of The Beatles, a devotee of Srila Prabhupada, was an unmistakable affirmation from Lord Ram.

With his doubts completely dissolved, Sarvajaya Madhava Prabhu and his wife with joy continued the sacred journey with full confidence, knowing that everything was unfolding according to Lord Ram’s divine plan.

Arrival at New Navadvip Dham and Arun Prabhu Message

As the deities arrived at New Navadvip Dham, Saranga Thakur Prabhu shared the below text message sent by Arun Prabhu, reflecting his humble acceptance of Lord Ram’s will: “Hare Krishna, Jai Shri Ram! Hari Bol! Ram Ji has His own Will. If He wants to go, that is fine. We’d like to go for His inauguration and have Darshan.”

His words resonated deeply, reminding everyone that the Lord is not bound by human plans-He chooses where He wants to reside. Thank you to Arun Prabhu for opening his heart, showing how wonderful devotee, he is. Lord has engaged Arun Prabhu twenty years ago for this day.

A Divine Parallel to Srila Prabhupada’s Pastime

In a beautiful parallel, devotees later recalled how Srila Prabhupada faced a similar situation while establishing Radha-Londonishvara in the London temple. Just as Lord Ram orchestrated His move to New Navadvip Dham, Radha-Londonishvara’s had a similar pastime too.

The Legacy of Lord Ram’s Arrival

The arrival of Lord Ram, Lakshman, Sita, and Hanuman ji at New Navadvip Dham is more than just a historic event-it is a testament to the unfolding of divine Will. Millions of devotees will now have the opportunity to receive the blessings of Lord Ram, fulfilling a destiny that had been in motion for two decades. This happened once in our lifetime during the 144-year celestial alignment of the Mahakumbh on the auspicious Shahi Snana day of Vasant Panchami.

As the news spreads, devotees worldwide are inspired by this remarkable Lila, affirming once again: Jai Shri Ram! Jai Shri Ram! Jai Shri Ram! Lord Ram can manifest anywhere in the world to bless his Children!

Metropolis Healthcare Launches TruHealth Cancer Screen 360, a First-of-its-kind Initiative to Strengthen Preventive Oncology in India

As cancer continues to pose a growing public health concern, Ameera Shah-led Metropolis Healthcare Limited, India’s second-largest and most respected diagnostic laboratory chain, has announced the launch of TruHealth Cancer Screen 360-a comprehensive screening panel aimed at revolutionizing Preventive Oncology in India.

A first-of-its-kind in the Indian diagnostics space, the TruHealth Cancer Screen 360 Male and Female Profiles are scientifically curated to provide early insights, equipping both clinicians and individuals with critical, actionable information. This launch reinforces Metropolis’ commitment to enhancing access to specialized cancer diagnostics while making them more affordable and inclusive.

Metropolis Healthcare Launches TruHealth Cancer Screen 360, a First-of-its-kind Initiative to Strengthen Preventive Oncology in India

According to the Global Cancer Observatory (GLOBOCAN) 2022, cancer remains a major global health concern. In the South-East Asia region, India ranks third in terms of cancer incidence, second for mortality, and 121st in terms of crude rates globally. Alarmingly, screening coverage in India-especially among women-remains under 1% for cervical, breast, and oral cancers, far below the World Health Organizations 70% target for cervical cancer screening. Limited access to healthcare, low awareness, and financial constraints continue to hinder the adoption of widespread screening.

The TruHealth Cancer Screen 360 includes tumor markers, hereditary cancer risk analysis, and gender-specific screening modules-such as PSA for prostate cancer in men and HPV self-sampling for cervical cancer in women. Designed to address the rising cancer burden and bridge diagnostic gaps, the panel offers a multi-layered, evidence-based approach to detect early signs of common cancers in both men and women.

Commenting on the launch, Mr. Surendran Chemmenkottil, CEO, Metropolis Healthcare Ltd., said, “The introduction of TruHealth Cancer Screen 360 Male and Female Profiles reflects our unwavering commitment to strengthening preventive healthcare in India. By equipping individuals with timely and reliable diagnostic tools, we aim to empower them to take charge of their health. Early detection is key to reducing the burden of late-stage cancer, improving outcomes, and saving lives. This initiative is also aligned with our strategic focus on expanding Metropolis’ footprint in oncology diagnostics-an increasingly critical domain in healthcare. We remain committed to making advanced diagnostics accessible and affordable across both urban and non-urban areas.”

A recent GLOBOCAN report also highlights a concerning trend-earlier onset of cancers in urban populations, with rising incidence of breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers in women, and lung and prostate cancers in men. These often go undiagnosed until advanced stages, making treatment more difficult and outcomes less favourable.

Dr. Kirti Chadha, Senior Oncopathologist and Chief Scientific and Innovation Officer, Metropolis Healthcare Ltd. said, “With the growing incidence of gender-specific cancers such as breast, cervical, and prostate, there is an urgent need to integrate targeted cancer screening into routine health check-ups. The TruHealth Cancer Screen 360 has been developed as an evidence-based, comprehensive tool that goes beyond general wellness testing. By incorporating a broad spectrum of biomarkers and hereditary risk indicators, it facilitates early identification of cancer risks-even before symptoms appear. This approach enhances clinical decision-making and provides individuals with actionable insights, helping bridge the gap between symptomless disease progression and timely medical intervention.”

Key features of TruHealth Cancer Screen 360 (Male & Female Profiles)

  • Gender-specific panels for breast, ovarian, cervical, liver, lung, prostate, colorectal, and thyroid cancers.

  • Three-layered screening combining tumor markers, hereditary cancer risk analysis (covering 25+ cancer types), and organ-specific assessments.

  • Hereditary cancer screening through a NextGen Panel that analyses 317 genes, enabling preventive measures for patients and family members.

  • HPV Self-Sampling (Female Profile): WHO-recommended self-test kits for primary cervical cancer screening-removing barriers like discomfort, time constraints, or clinic access.

  • Free genetic counseling with certified counsellors to support individuals in understanding results and next steps.

The TruHealth Cancer Screen 360 is available at an introductory price, significantly lower than the combined cost of individual tests-making this advanced screening solution both affordable and accessible. With a robust portfolio of over 4,000 tests and profiles, Metropolis continues to lead diagnostic innovation. Through this integrated cancer screening initiative, the company reaffirms its mission to drive early diagnosis, clinical excellence, and preventive healthcare for all.

“Good design is more than form and function-it’s an emotion, a mindset, and a promise to build responsibly for the future,” says Tripat Girdhar, Founder at Arete Design Studio. “At Arete, we don’t just draw buildings-we shape experiences, solve problems, and imagine how people will feel, move, and live inside those spaces. Every line we sketch is a step toward smarter cities, greener communities, and more meaningful interactions between people and their environments. Design should respond to the needs of tomorrow without losing the soul of today.”

But Tripat’s journey wasn’t shaped by ease or entitlement. Coming from humble beginnings, Tripat carved his path with nothing but determination and a clear vision. He earned his degree in architecture and immediately began applying a cross-disciplinary, research-driven approach that set him apart in an industry often stuck in repetition. His portfolio today includes over 70 completed projects, more than 300,000 sq. ft. under development, and celebrated landmarks like Marbella Grand, Escon Primera, Jubilee Vallum View, and the towering Fashion Tower, a 32-story architectural feat that has redefined Chandigarh’s skyline.

Under Tripat’s leadership, Arete Design Studio has become synonymous with design that dares to lead, blending art, technology, and environmental responsibility in ways that resonate with both urban lifestyles and cultural context.

His work has not gone unnoticed. In 2025, Arete was honored as the “Leading & Futuristic Architecture & Design Firm of the Year” for North India, and Tripat himself received the “Visionary & Innovative Architect & Designer of the Year” award-recognition of his role in reshaping the architectural narrative.

Tripat’s vision for Arete is as expansive as his designs, “We’re not here to follow trends. We’re here to define the next era of living and working spaces,”adds Girdhar. “Innovation is in our DNA-not just in what we build, but how we think. Our goal is to create spaces that are intelligent, sustainable, and deeply human. Whether we’re designing a high-rise or a home, we always ask: Will this improve how people live Will this inspire pride and purpose That’s the standard we hold ourselves to.”

With innovation at its core and legacy on the horizon, Arete Design Studio continues to break the mold-not just in Chandigarh, but across continents.
