AIR INDIA GETS HANDED OVER TO TATA TODAY (27-JAN-2022)

  AIR INDIA GETS HANDED OVER TO TATA  TODAY (27-JAN-2022) In my further life time from today, if anyone asks me what is the important event on 27-January, the next date after India's Republic Day celebrations, I will painfully answer : Handing Over of Air India to TATA. Today, we become a large nation, without a Civilian National Air Carrier of our own. History has recorded 1953, when some Son of the Soil, nationalized Air India and felt it should be India's own, National Carrier. History records today(January 27, 2022) as the day, some other (Son of the Soil) handed over it to TATA. I have not changed my views since this issue of handing over Air India to TATA came up in October, 2021. I am pained and I am not happy with this happening in our Nation. I am also pained that, over 4,400 domestic and 1,800 international landing and parking slots at domestic airports, as well as 900 slots abroad, the precious honours (with 900 parking and landing slots in foreign airpor

  THE MISUSE AND ABUSE OF QUOTATIONS IS LEADING TO MISTRUST OF THE AUDIENCE   I chanced upon a small article written by someone named as Richard Bargas with the article title "THE USE AND ABUSE OF QUOTES IN YOUR SERMON" published in the internet on February 15, 2021. The internet link of the article is :  https://always-reforming.com/2021/02/15/the-use-and-abuse-of-quotes-in-your-sermon/ I saw the following Sermon Quotation with the image in the said article (the article link is also given there below), as an illustration, anyone can see it. Anyone can see, it has a quotation in the name of Abraham Lincoln the famous 16th USA President who lived in between   February 12, 1809 and April 15, 1865 ( in office : March 4, 1861 – April 15, 1865 )  (vide the wikipedia link    :   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln  ) At the same time, January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet. (vide the article of the University System of Georgia by the

WHY "KACHA PAPITA"(TENDER AND GREEN PAPAYA) IS PRICED MORE THAN THE "PAKA PAPITA"(RIPENED PAPAYA)?

  WHY "KACHA PAPITA"(TENDER AND GREEN PAPAYA) IS PRICED MORE THAN THE "PAKA PAPITA"(RIPENED PAPAYA)? Have you ever observed that the "Kacha Papita ( Tender and Green Papaya ) being priced much higher than the "Paka Papita" ( Ripened Papaya ) in the market ? Although, it looks little peculiar, such phenomena exists in the agricultural produce pricing, explaining the logicality, for those who are interested in this area or involved in agri-produce sector. I am motivated to write this article from an incident in the morning today. After a long walk today, I got into a street at Mumbai to buy some vegetables for household consumption. This is a street where there are street sellers of vegetables and fruits either on the ground or on hand carts. You can expect to get good quality fresh products at good prices. Right now being winter, and temperature this year is lower compared to previous years at Mumbai, keeping quality is also good. When I landed at

HOW ONE WOULD VALUE THE LIFE STYLE DISCIPLINE: PRESENTING A REAL LIFE CASE (FOR THE BENEFIT OF MY READERS)

  HOW ONE WOULD VALUE THE LIFE STYLE DISCIPLINE: PRESENTING A REAL LIFE CASE ( FOR THE BENEFIT OF MY READERS ) What I am presenting here is a real life case, observations are real and first hand, not hypothetical; and it would give some insight as to how would one value the life style for own benefit. Recently we reviewed with some friends of mine who were batchmates of mine during a graduation course in a technical university from 1979-1983/84 ( the course was 4years from 1979-83 however got spread to first part of 1984 under some exceptional circumstances of the University ); regarding the present situation of of the batch considering the fact that almost everyone has reached the age level of close to 60 with small plus or minus. Normally whoever passed out of this technical course, to start with, would either get absorbed in a State Govt Dept as an Officer of Class-II group, or in a Central Govt Dept, a Bank Officer or similar levels else where (as has been the experience in con

  AFTER THE 3-FARM LAWS OF 2020 (of India) HAVE BEEN REPEALED, THE ESSENTIAL COMMODITIES ACT, 1955 REMAINS IN ITS FORM AS IT EXISTED PRIOR TO JUNE 05, 2020: THIS ARTICLE IS IN THE BENEFIT OF READERS I am aware, many of  my readers do work or may be working in the Product Areas of the Economy covering areas of Agriculture, Dairy, Foods, Drugs (Medical) and some may be even working in the Petroleum Sector as well.   The three Farm Laws of India, that got repealed recently were brought in, initially, as 3-Ordinances that were published in the Gazette of Govt of India on June 05, 2020, namely : 1.

PRACTICAL AND PRAGMATIC WAY TO DEAL WITH A SITUATION WHEN A CUSTOMER/CLIENT DOES NOT PAY UP YOUR BILL

  PRACTICAL AND PRAGMATIC WAY  TO DEAL WITH A SITUATION  WHEN A CUSTOMER/CLIENT  DOES NOT PAY UP YOUR BILL   One of my fellow alumni in a Premier Business School of India, a quite younger alumnus compared to me ( while I am from batch 5, she is from batch 26 ) raised a poll in my alumni community asking for questions what can be done in case a client does not pay up the bill.  I wrote the following part of this post (very little modifications, a few words may be here; to suit this Blog situation of public domain, while that is a private domain) as my practical and pragmatic advice to her and to my fellow alumni, placing here for the readers to read it for their use as well.  Whether it is a Customer (in the context of Goods) or a Client ( in the context of Services), while dealing with, one must understand the Operating Zone and the Buffer Zone of the Client Entity/Organization as follows: 1.  Buffer Zone is the Highest Level in the Customer/Client Entity/Organization …..such as the
