PRADHAN MANTRI GRAM SADAK YOJANA
2008-05-15 17:30:00 There are a few still alive, who are as old as independent India. Some of them had not even seen a Bus. These villagers drove into 21st century in 2004 when their village was connected to the rural road network under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY). This is the story of many of India?s 600000 villages where modern life has changed nay, arrived at humble homes. This PMGSY is not an outcome of intellectual discussions or any policy blabber. It was in October 1999 when Nitin Gadkari, a BJP leader called up the then prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It is heard that Mr. Vajpayee asked this Maharashtra MP if there is an over bridge of flyover to connect Bharat with India. Upon this Gadkari shared his experience of connecting 16000 villages including 100 adivasi villages in Melghat in Maharashtra. Since Gadkari had an experience of the construction of India?s most modern Six-lane expressway between Mumbai and Pune, under his belt, he knew the maths. Vajpayee...

Mandarin radio getting popular in Jakarta
2008-05-15 13:06:00 Today thousands of Jakartans tune in to local radio stations to have the simple pleasure of listening to their favorite Mandarin songs that was not the case a decade ago. During the Soeharto era, the public display of Chinese culture was not allowed.In 2000, the then president Abdurrahman Wahid overturned a 1967presidential instruction on Chinese religion, beliefs and traditions, which effectively banned Chinese literature and culture in Indonesia, including the prohibition of displaying Chinese characters."In the past three years, we've had more university students majoring in Chinese literature visiting our station. They say they listen to our programs to practice their Mandarin," said Haryono, the head of general affairs at Cakrawala radio station. Established in 1971, Cakrawala is now the only Mandarin radio station that broadcasts to Greater Jakarta. Haryono said the radio, which had around 70,000 listeners, began using Mandarin in 2000, right after former president Gus Du...

Doing what it takes in the corporate world to succeed, loyalties to the company, appreciating the opportunity were the principles followed conventionally by the leaders and the managers in the past. With perseverance, hard work, commitment and discipline they thought they have got where they are. The thought they have earned their right to at the top. Generation Y believes the contrary. In the world that is changing with the speed of thought they have all the information through internet which helps them keep the finger on the pulse of changing technology.

Creating a Productive, Innovative, Adaptive Corporate Culture
2008-05-14 12:31:00 From 37SignalsFrom time to time during conference Q&A sessions I'm asked "How did you create the culture at 37signals?" or "What do you recommend we do to set up an open, sharing company culture like yours?" My answer: You don't create a culture. Culture happens. It's the by-product of consistent behavior. If you encourage people to share, and you give them the freedom to share, then sharing will be built into your culture. If you reward trust then trust will be built into your culture. Artificial Artificial cultures are instant. They're big bangs made of mission statements, declarations, and rules. They are obvious, ugly, and plastic. Artificial culture is paint. Real Real cultures are built over time. They're the result of action, reaction, and truth. They are nuanced, beautiful, and authentic. Real culture is patina.

OVERWEIGHT CHILDREN; CHANGING LIFESTYLES.
2008-05-13 15:29:00 Urban children would never want to eat fresh fruits or vegetables which are considered a healthy meal for them. On the other hand, to a plate of junk food they eat like anything. This goes worse when it comes to drinking. The figures compiled by the ministry of child and women developments suggests that at least 13% of the children of metros are at risk of heart disease and diabetes in adulthood which is an outcome of unhealthy dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle. Metro children often shun their outdoor activities. With play stations and video games at home children like being at home living in the virtual world. Often noticed, the little amount of exercise which they get is at schools only. Children obesity leads to all sorts of complications later from hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease and psychological problems. It is growing in leaps and bounds. Many of these conditions can only be managed in adulthood. Before the ailment becomes acute, it is mandatory to detec...

BURGLARY REDEFINED
2008-05-11 15:39:00 Burglary means an act of breaking into premises to commit theft. A burglar may use some kind of tools to break a lock of a building and abscond with the valuables. The insurance companies however have a different concept. A burglary should have a mandatory component- violent or forcible entry and exit. This is the reason, in the absence of this component they refuse to indemnify losses caused because of burglary. That is why many claims related to burglary insurance end up as a dispute between the policy holder and the insurance company, and come up before the consumer court. The recent ruling of the supreme court of India which constitutes ?forceful or violent entry and exit? should go a long way in protecting the rights of policy holders. The supreme court made two highly relevant points: (a) if the entry is effected by exercise of any force, howsoever slight, it is sufficient to constitute a forcible entry as defined in the policy; (b) an entry obtained by picking the lock o...

LET?S BUSINESS IN ENGLISH.
2008-05-10 15:33:00 He is son of a factory worker whose father worked to give his son the education that he didn?t get. The son graduated as an engineer and took off for Bangalore to get a job. He had a living money for six month which he got from his father. He didn?t get a job for six month, not because he didn?t knew what he was talking about but because his English was not so good so he was not able to communicate who he was, what he knew, how hungry he was to learn and how hard he could work. He got hired as a trainee. This workplace exposure helped him to work on his communication and confidence and after nine month he was able to infiltrate into Infosys. It is unfortunate to learn that most of the students from the non English medium educated students do not complete their story the same way.English is the language to look outside. It is the language of the business. Even in India. Since English or say language is an emotional subject, so one should stick to the facts that too basic. Just as th...

Mancation: a no women party.
2008-05-10 15:29:00 Just a few days back I have come across a new term- Mancation. This is the name given to the felling when men find themselves pulled between their secret desires and an attack of conscience. One can find solace in the fact that most men think along the same lines. So what?s a male only vacation about? Well ask any man and he will answer the same way. It is all about engaging in sports, camping, gambling, chasing women and most of all drinking. There should be no wives, mistresses or girlfriends. It allows men to get in touch with their male- primal roots. This word was supposed to have originated by Vince Vaughn in the film THE BREAKUP in which he splits from his partner and wants to get away without his female friend. Though one cannot say that this was the actual origination place of the word but one thing is for sure that MANCATION is the latest buzzword in the tourism sector. Also this concept has travelled very quickly from Hollywood to India. When asked men partying in no wo...

Nem a zene alapjain borultam ki, mivel ezt a fajta megszólalást, hangszerelést hallhattuk már máshol is. Néhol a Rammsteint, néhol a Deathstars-t idézik a srácok. Ami az igazi ízét adja a produkciónak, az a borult karniválhangulat, ami néha arcon csap minket a zenéjüket hallgatva. Olyan, mintha Elfman beült volna narkós fejjel a Nemzeti Cirkusz egyik el?adására. Ha már a drogokról esett szó, akkor térjünk át arra, hogy miért feküdtem ki igazán a CODS zenéjét?l. Bizony ezek a srácok bedrogozva igen vicces dolgokat voltak képesek összehordani ezalatt az ötven perc alatt. Vannak itt polgárpukkasztó aktuálpolitikai dolgok, gyermekkori sérelmeket kivetít? bábfigura alázások, izom fárasztó drog-prevenciós dumák.

You may have noticed that mobile is getting to be a really big deal, and you may have noticed that Them Danged Kids® are texting until their thumbs fall off. You probably didn’t realize, though, the magnitude of mobile and the SMS phenomenon. There are now over 3 billion mobile phones in the world and nearly all of them have SMS capability. Telephia estimates that revenue from premium SMS entertainment services in the US topped $1B last year. And the stuff that people are paying for - $5/month for a joke of the day (and Yo Mama joke of the day!), horoscopes, music reviews, health tips, sports, and on and on. It’s all a little hard for a guy like me to believe, but there it is. Anyway, you have this new medium, so it was only a matter of time before it began sparking artistic innovation.
