UTPATTI [ORIGIN]
1. According to ancient texts Talaka is said to be originated from the discharge produced during sexual acts of Lord SHIVA and Ma PARVATI i.e. ‘Sivayoh suratanandarasajam talakam’.

2. As a result of the combination of Arsenic with Sulphur.

MODERN DESCRIPTION
Introduction:
Orpiment, As2S3, is a common monoclinic arsenic sulfide mineral. It has a Mohs hardness of 1.5 to 2 and a specific gravity of 3.46. It melts at 300 °C to 325 °C. Optically it is biaxial (−) with refractive indices of a=2.4, b=2.81, g=3.02.
Orpiment, though abundant than realgar, is not a common mineral. It is usually found in foliated or columnor masses with a bright yellow color.
The pure mineral contains 39% of Sulphur and 61% of Arsenic, corresponding to the formula AS2S3. It thus contains about 9% more Sulphur that does realgar.
The monoclinic orpiment crystals have the symmetry of the prismatic class. Though always, small they are distinctly Prismatic with an orthorhombic habit. It is usually in foliated or granular masses, sometimes as crusts.
Cleavage is perfect. Folias are flexible but not elastic slightly sectile.
Hardness 1.5 to 2; specific gravity 3.5; luster resinous to pearly i.e. pearly on cleavage faces and resinous at other surfaces lemon yellow color and streak translucent to opaque.
Very much realgar but differs in color, when heated to 100oc it becomes red, it however, resumes its original color on cooling but when heated to 150oc the change is permanent.



It is formed from realgar with which it is commonly associated. The mineral is non-conductor of electricity. Its sublimed in the close tube is yellow. It is found in nature and prepared artificially also by the treatment of arsenic acid with H2S under high pressure.
Orpiment is also known as "King's Yellow", "Chinese Yellow" and "Yellow Orpiment"

Historical uses
It was an important item of trade in the Roman Empire and was used as a medicine in China although it is highly toxic. It was also used as a fly poison and to poison arrows. Because of its striking colour, it was also a favourite with alchemists searching for a way to make gold, both in China and the West.
Orpiment was ground, processed and used for centuries as a pigment in painting, being one of the few clear, bright yellow pigments available to artists up until the 19th century. Orpiment presented problems, however, such as its extreme toxicity and its incompatibility with other common pigments like lead and copper-based substances such as verdigris and azurite. The use of orpiment as a pigment matter ended almost entirely with the advent of the cadmium yellows and the various dye-based colors of the 19th century.

Contemporary uses
It is presently used in the production of infrared-transmitting glass, oil cloth, linoleum; in semiconductors and photoconductors, as a pigment and in fireworks. Mixed with two parts of slaked lime, orpiment is still very commonly used in rural India as a depilatory. It is also used in the tanning industry to remove hair from hides.

Infact it's one of the latest fields with a huge market potential & that's why Indian Government is looking forward to its growth as a breeding ground for earning foreign exchange. Skilled persons are lacking in this field both in Public & Private sectors. Hence a need was felt to develop a task force specialized in Ayurvedic Manufacturing &/dispensing.

Starting Diploma in Ayd Pharmacy is like moving one more step forward in this direction.

You also get better & lucrative jobs if you have knowledge of some Modern European Language. Presently K.U.K is offering evening classes of Certificate & Diploma courses (Both 1 yr) in German & French. Only after doing certificate course you can go for Diploma. Admissions begin in Aug-Sept. & Final Exams usually are in April.
2. Read regular news features like HT Careers, Employment news & others alike to brush up your knowledge regarding job opportunities in various fields to develop a broad outlook.
3 Develop Your CV/Resume & send it to various pharmaceutical companies. Explore yourself. Develop a vision. Don't follow others, let others follow you. Note- Marks are also v.imp besides having a practical outlook atleast for initial placements. (It creates an impact on the employer if you are academically sound. No gains without pains). So don't ignore this fact & develop your scholastic documents. If you manage to get a scholarship that will also be an advantage.
4. I would strongly recommend you to join some local Ayd pharmacy as a trainee for practical experience (at least for 1 yr). It will clear your fundamentals in theory as also you'll have an experience working in that set-up. This will be a strong point for purpose of employment. Don't forget to get a letter of recommendation from the prospective trainer after you leave that pharmacy.
5. Explore possible job opportunities on net.
