During COVID lockdown, Avaada Energy bags prestigious 2GW solar project of NHPC

In the midst of a global lockdown in which Avaada Energy emerged as the winner in the bidding for 2 GW solar projects auctioned by the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC) online under the e-reverse auction method.

The successful online auction would entail capex of over Rs 11,000 crores. SoftBank, Axis Energy Ventures (Brookfield promoted), O2 Power (Temasek promoted) and EDEN Renewables are the other winners. The auction took place during the COVID-19 induced global lockdown. Despite businesses struggling across the world, India remains the hotspot for renewable energy investors.

In a tweet earlier, R.K. Singh, the Union Minister of Power and New & Renewable Energy, said, “During lockdown we kept our interaction with stakeholders alive through virtual platforms and also brought out new bids. This tariff is the result of several measures which we have undertaken during the past few months to enhance the confidence of investors and to promote ease of doing business. We stand committed to minimizing the risk to investors.”

Commenting on the development Mr. Vineet Mittal, Chairman, Avaada Energy, said, “The bidding was aggressive and low market demand was trying to drive the price down. Our bid was competitive, and we are happy that we won against some tough competition. On the back of a highly conducive policy environment, a steady influx of capital, falling prices and new technologies, India will continue its exponential growth in its renewable energy (RE) sector.”

Avaada Energy Pvt Ltd is one such success stories aspiring to be India’s green energy unicorn. Avaada has been the darling of global investors having few repeat investors in its pool of global behemoths like the Asian Development Bank, Germany’s Deutsche Entwicklungs- und Investitionsgesellschaft (DEG), Dutch development bank Netherlands Development Finance Company (FMO).

The successful auction has shown that India is committed to more than meeting the goals of its national contributions in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement; it is going to “overdeliver,” in the parlance of global economists.

PreMarital Sex

              First thing first and that is sex in this post. If we believe that Sex = making Love then it's passionate true love, not just an act of lust. Every thing is fair in Love. The Question is whether it is Marital or Premarital ?  

              Umm ...uhh... hummm ...  Why ? When ? questions and answers with Different Perspectives. 

              "Premarital sex is a sexual activity practiced by persons who are unmarried." Now this wiki-definition is so ambiguous. Persons can be of opposite gender or of same gender. If persons i.e. lovers are of same gender then in many countries they are not permitted to marry. In that case, what option they have other than Premarital sex ? 

               Premarital sex , Yes or No ... both options have Pros and Cons. Almost all would agree that, Premarital sex among adults who love, trust and are loyal to each other, who are ready to shoulder the responsibility is Capital YES while Premarital sex among children ( below 18 years of age ), who are physically, mentally, economically dependent on their parents is Capital NO. 

               Premarital sex among the adult-bachelors is some-what common in metro-cities all over the World. In today's MOM-age I mean Mars Orbiter Mission-age, not Mother-age, adults are so busy with their careers that they hardly have time to think about settling down. Young generation work hard to achieve their fluorescent dreams. Naturally they want to party harder with their friends , partners , sweethearts etc. to alleviate their slogging. Music, Dance, Drinks and Dear, loving partner all make for such a heady combination. In such euphoric parties, love-making i.e. sex is common phenomena , where the partners are not yet married. Not married but love, trust and loyal to each other.

                Most of the times, marriage hurdles the ascending career-graph of the girls. The married girls have to do household daily chores , cook food , look after children well as elders. The wives from conservative families are not allowed to stay late in the office. So the girls delay the marriage, even though they have a boyfriend. In such cases, premarital sex happens. The only word of caution here will be 'Take care of yourself and your loyal, loving and trusting partner. Safe Sex is the key-word for premarital sex'

              As far as Indian boys are concerned, they have extra responsibility of buying apartments, cars, furniture, jewelry etc. for the bride. Young people find it difficult to incur heavy expenses for the big, fat Karan Johar style extravagant wedding ceremonies. After all, all bachelors are not lucky like Arpita, to have Salman Khan as a Bhai to gift them the Taj-Falaknuma-Palace -wedding. In such situations, what choice do the young people have than the premarital sex with their loyal lover? 

               Let's take an example of a girl and a boy who love each other. They love each other, but their families don't stand each other because of differences in caste, cultures, religions etc. In this scenario , what option does the couple have ? Even if their respective families agree for the match , but in the space-starved cities they don't have their own home, then where would they stay post-marriage ? In such cases premarital sex is totally acceptable as the couple will certainly marry for their eternal love, in near future. 

               Premarital sex is considered taboo in many cultures and considered a sin in almost all religions. It became more commonly accepted in developed / Western European countries like Spain, Germany, France etc. in the last few decades. It was sort of aftermath of industrial revolution. As the large scale production boosted economy, people became more materialistic. 

               " No Sex Please, We are Indians " has been the foreigners' point of view about Indians. If we look at the alarming population growth in India, it's evident that sex is happening. But it's not Premarital. You may say ' Oh how bourgeois !' My personal view is  ' Nay - No -Never , PreMarital sex is DANGER , avoid it like a Cancer '

Melbourne Menu

             My dear readers, I am going to be your hostess and present Melbourne to you as an exquisite 5 course dinner, which I am sure you will enjoy to the fullest. You have 2 options. You can have it a la carte ( Visit Melbourne-Tourism Victoria website) or table d'hote ( Come Alive in Melbourne videos ) ... with me. 

             We have crunchy , tangy Pani Puri for starters. Melbournians' warm , joyous spirit is infectious. City is not just the art, architecture and infrastructure but also the citizens' culture. Melbornians are accommodating and possess large hearts. They mix up genuinely with foreigners, without any inhibitions. This is totally evident in the following video.

                               Why George Columbus loves pani puri  

                

For the main-course we have richly rich history .Let's revel into the golden past of Melbourne, which is literally GOLD, with gold-mining history. Melbourne is founded by John Batman and John Pascoe Fawker. Governor Bourke named it Melbourne in 1837 after the then British Prime minister William Lamb, 2nd  Viscount Melbourne. 

Gold was discovered in 1851 and the resulting gold rush transformed Melbourne. The accelerated population growth and the enormous wealth of the goldfield ushered in the era known as Marvellous Melbourne. Melbourne was the national capital of Australia from 1901 to 1927. In 1956 Melbourne hosted The Olympics. In 2003 Melbourne was named as a UNESCO City of Literature.

 Tanmay and Rohan go back in History

            I am sure all of you enjoyed the historical main course. Now it's time for the present. Melbourne hosts the majority of Australia's contemporary festivals , thrilling world-class events, art-culture-music shows etc. Tourism is a major industry. Have a look at what makes Melbourne Australia's second largest city  modern , commercial-financial center, cosmopolitan, elegant and chic ... the most livable as well as lovable city in the world. 

Next on the platter is ' Melbourne in 1 word - Awesome ' which consists variety entertainment for all in the family. Thrilling experience of the Great Ocean Walk, Melbourne Cricket Ground, different types of Australian wildlife, especially Penguin parade at Phillip Island, Cruising the streets of Melbourne and enjoying delicious meal in the Colonial Tram car restaurant, Hot air ballooning , Segway-rides, wonderful vineyards of Yarra valley, crossing the West Gate Bridge for amazing view of the Melbourne city. 

              Finally it's the time for nutty , sweet desserts. Let's fall in love with Melbourne as Shantaram did with our Mumbai. *Shantaram is a blockbuster novel by a Melbourne-born author Gregory David Roberts. He got addicted to heroin when his marriage broke. He was a convicted bank robber who escaped from prison and fled to Mumbai, lived for ten years as a fugitive. He established a free medicine clinic for slum-dwellers. Simultaneously he worked as a counterfeiter, smuggler ,gunrunner, and street soldier for a branch of the Mumbai mafia. Recaptured in Germany, he served out his sentence there and in Australian prison. After his release, he established a successful multimedia company, and since the publication of Shantaram, he is a full-time writer. 

            In 2003 G. D. Roberts wrote the novel 'Shantaram'. The novel is a smashing hit all over the world in general and Mumbai in particular for it's in your face portrayal of fast n furious life in Mumbai. The book's name Shantaram is derived from the name his best friend's mother gave him, which means "Man of Peace,". Shantaram loves Mumbai as his own so it's quite natural to reciprocate the love with Melbourne. Shantaram has literally given his blood and soul for Aamchi Mumbai.

            Do we have any other option but to fall head over hill, in Love with Melbourne? There is so much common between Mumbai and Melbourne. I wish Prime Minister Narendra Modi declares Melbourne as the sister city of Mumbai. It will promote cultural, commercial ties, foster friendship, understanding between different cultures, and will encourage trade as well as tourism.

In the name of God, If we really believe, have faith in the god , for God's sake let's keep our India clean. Let's voice our concern. Let's speak Up! #AbMontuBolega. 

          'Ab Montu Bolega' is a program run by RECKITT BENCKISER (INDIA) LTD. It consists 1. People's voice on Twitter and Facebook, where we can connect with Montu. 2. #MakeInIndia 3. #SwachhBharatAbhiyan 4. #ISL  5. #ShameGame . Through these hashtags we can express our self fully. Strepsils gives us healthy voice to Speak Up. 

          We as a family, keep our homes sparkling clean. Let's increase the radius of our family to our society / complex / apartment buildings. Slowly and steadily, we should include the streets and neighboring localities in our extended family. The government authorities starting from Gram Panchayat, Zilla Parishad, Municipal Corporations , State Government leading up to Central Governments will sure to cooperate with manual as well as mechanical resources. 

          I know, it sounds preachy and hard to practice. Still it's possible, with an excellent Guide and marvelous Motivation . We the elders can set great examples to the children by our disciplined behavior in private as well as public places. We must prohibit ourselves from littering, so that the children would follow in our footsteps. 

         We always praise foreign countries such as U.S.A., U. K., Germany , Switzerland, France, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong for their awe-inspiring cleanliness. Why can not we emulate them? When we reside there, we follow all the rules and regulations. But as soon as we return to India, we become Ugly Indians, littering in public places. Let's change our mentality , 'Bhala uski kameez mere kameez se jyada safed kaisi? '. Instead of whining and complaining, Let's Discuss ! Keep Calm and Speak Up. 

          We Indians can make our great nation , one of the most powerful, modern and cleanest nation on the earth by actively as well as passively campaigning for "Swach Bharat". We similar minded Indians can convert India of our dreams into reality. what if some anti-social elements keep on littering and wasting our efforts ? It's high time to mobilize our campaign , strength and will-power to overpower the trouble-makers. Let's speak up, raise our voices against the gundagiri. 

             Kyuki Bin Bole Ab Nahi Chalega #AbMontuBolega .
