The book highlights the importance of Spiritual power and a gateway to purify one’s thoughts and consciousness.

Mr. Tyagi has shared his personal life experiences in the book. While sharing more about the book he said that, “The various principles towards success have been experienced by me and I thought of sharing my experiences with the youth of our country. This was the major reason, which motivated me to pen down all my thoughts on this topic. Mr. Tyagi also mentions that, “The success principles and ideas given in the book are inspired by the thoughts of Dr. D Y Patil.” The launch of book is hosted by Dr. D Y Patil, former Governor of Tripura, Bihar and West Bengal. He is a founder of D Y Patil Deemed Universities.

Shri. Mohan Bhagwat, Chief of RSS has stated that, “The language in the book is simple and easy and Mr. Tyagi narrative directly hits at the principles which he has experienced to be milestones to a successful life. The book is totally devoid of any attempt to project the name and personality of Shri R D Tyagi as an individual. The book shows you the path to not only be successful in life but also to lead a meaningful life.”

Mr. Tyagi has taken to spirituality and meditation after his retirement and has published various books such as Happiness Unlimited, Yoga – The way to Divine Bliss etc. for the betterment of mankind. The present book of success is also written based on his personal experience in the life and the practice of spirituality.

Alcon Introduces DAILIES TOTAL1® Water Gradient Contact Lenses –A New Era in Comfort

Alcon Laboratories (I) Pvt. Ltd.

• 

  
  

  Exceptional comfort lasts from the beginning through the end of the day

  First and only water gradient contact lens; featuring an increase from 33% to >80% water content from core to surface, approaching 100% at the outermost surface,**

  Highest breathability* (oxygen transmissibility) of any daily disposable contact lens

  
  

  Delivers exceptional comfort from beginning to end of day – Feels like nothing

  MUMBAI: Do your eyes often feel tired or do your contact lenses feel dry at the end of your long day? A new era of eye comfort is now within reach thanks to the new DAILIES TOTAL1® water gradient contact lenses. These unique daily disposable contact lenses were launched today by Alcon, the global leader in eye care and a division of Novartis. The lenses have a built-in ‘water gradient,’ an engineering breakthrough that helps make them so comfortable, nine out of ten DAILIES TOTAL1® contact lens wearers agreed that the lens is so comfortable they didn’t feel anything.

  Discomfort is a common complaint among contact lens wearers – 44% of all contact lens wearers experience discomfort, dryness or red eyes., Discomfort, at 48%, is the number one reason cited for discontinuing the use of contact lenses.6 This statistic is important considering 31% of contact lens wearers in the Asia/Pacific Rim alone stop wearing their contact lenses each year. People also lead busy lives – the average consumer spends more than 16 hours per day on all kind of activities – work, household chores, caring for others, or leisure activities – leaving no room for a contact lens that is uncomfortable.

  Survey results showed that contact lens wearers preferred DAILIES TOTAL1 water gradient contact lens over their regular brand by a ratio of 13 to 118. The survey results also showed that:

  85% of subjects said DAILIES TOTAL1 water gradient contact lenses felt comfortable at the end of the day

  93% of subjects said that their vision felt clear at the end of the day after wearing all day17.

  “DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses truly offer consumers a remarkable wearing experience – once you try them on the eye, you’ll realize the difference,” said Panchali Upadhaya, Country Business Unit Head – Vision Care from Alcon India. “They are the contact lenses you actually can’t feel when wearing them and they maintain that high level of comfort all day. DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses can easily stand up to the test of very long days.”

  During a clinical study, patients rated DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses an average of 9.6 out of 10 for insertion comfort, and 9.2 out of 10 for end-of-day comfort. DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses are specifically designed to address contact lens discomfort – they have the highest surface lubricity (or smoothness) and the highest breathability (or oxygen transmissibility) of any leading daily disposable contact lens,3 delivering exceptional comfort that lasts all day.

  “Our R&D Team developed DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses with two main goals in mind: reduce friction with the delicate tissues of the eye and provide the same level of comfort at the end of the day as when the lenses are first inserted into the eye that morning,” said Dr. Arindam Dey, Head of Clinical Development and Medical Affairs, Alcon India. “Thanks to a totally new approach to contact lens comfort, our development teams were able to deliver these high-performing, water gradient contact lenses, which are designed to meet the needs of wearers’ demanding lifestyles in today’s world.”

  Water Gradient Difference

  The water gradient of DAILIES TOTAL1contact lenses has a water content that transitions from 33% at the core to over 80% at the surface; approaching 100% at the outermost surface.1,2** They maintain 100% of initial lubricity (‘wettability’), even after a full day of wear.

  The human eye blinks about 14,000 times per day, meaning the eyelid slides over the front of the cornea (and the contact lenses) roughly once every six seconds. Lubricity helps to minimize friction with the delicate tissues of the eye and at the surface of DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses, the lubricity reduces this friction and helps provide the breakthrough comfort of the lens.

  
  

  Maximizing the flow of oxygen

  
  

  DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses are made out of the material, delefilcon A, used because of the high amount of oxygen it allows through to the eye. Eyes need oxygen to stay healthy. Without enough oxygen, eyes can experience such symptoms as end-of-day discomfort, dryness and redness., In addition, the water gradient, with a lower (33%) water content at the core of the lens than at the surface, enables more oxygen to flow through the lens, which is important for healthy contact lens wear. DAILIES TOTAL1 contact lenses offer the highest oxygen transmissibility of any daily disposable contact lens on the market.

Based on strong demand and growing traffic from India to the United Arab Emirates (an approximately 14% YoY increase in 2017), Thomas Cook India’s inclusion of the Dirham to its multi-currency Borderless Prepaid Card portfolio, reiterates its strategic intent to harness this growth momentum. The new prepaid card will now create a seamless payment experience for its customer base of over 500,000, offering convenience, ease and security in spending while travelling across the UAE.

Speaking at the launch, Kailash Gupta, Senior Vice President & Head of Payment Solutions, Thomas Cook (India) Ltd., said, “The UAE is a top destination for Indian travellers; its convenience both as a short haul and stop-over holiday, coupled with extensive air access, new attractions (Dubai Parks & Resorts, Louvre Abu Dhabi, Warner Bros-Yas Island, La Perle, etc.) are proving to be strong growth drivers for repeat visits. Data reveals that Dubai witnessed a noteworthy 15% YoY increase in 2017 with 2.1 Mn. visitors; India retaining the top spot as its largest source market. In addition, India is equally a leading source market for Abu Dhabi with an 11.4% YoY increase in 2017. The introduction of the AED to our multi-currency Borderless Prepaid Card portfolio intends to capitalise on this growth momentum and offer our UAE bound travellers a simple, smooth and secure payment solution.”

He added that one of the pillars of today’s ‘new age of travel’ is the role of e-commerce platforms and services at each stage of the journey; before during and post travel.

“Today’s ‘new age of travel is increasingly defined by experiences that are genuinely personal and personalised, that have a deeper meaning or purpose, and which are facilitated at all stages via technology and the Internet. Our Borderless Prepaid Card perfectly reflects the latter pillar, providing a genuinely seamless and secure experience for travellers.  Today, the service is trusted by over 500,000 customers across business and leisure segments, and experiencing year-on-year growth in excess of 20%.”

Mubarak Al Nuaimi, Director of Promotion and Overseas Offices Department at the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi, said: “India is one of our largest overseas source markets having contributed over 2 million visitors from a total of around 5 million in 2017. As such, we continue to make relentless efforts to offer Indian visitors a hassle-free experience and entice them to visit the Emirate and enjoy its top attractions and unique culturally-enriching experiences. Aligned with this vision, we are very happy to work with Thomas Cook on including the Emirati Dirham as one of the key currency within their flagship Borderless Prepaid Card. This will effectively enable Indian visitors to maximise their vacation budget and switch between currencies without having to pay commission.”

“India has a massive potential to expand the tourism inflow to Abu Dhabi and we are aiming to increase the share of Indian tourists from the overall target number of 5.5 million visitors by the end of 2018. Moving forward, we will keep leveraging our network of partners and stakeholders as to cement the Emirate’s position as a destination of distinction for world-class tourism, family vacations, leisure and weddings,” he added.
