Editorial
Soaring inflation and growing world economy are hallmark
for the financial year. The eventful year is now approaching
the festival season with tedious preparations on. Businesses
are promoting their products with attractive packaging and
incentives, malls are seen all around the country, colorful
fashion soaring high and mouth watering dishes spreading
their fragrance all around. Time to re-juvenate and capture
the peaking business, adding extra dimensions to the relationships
and taking time out for family.
The message goes with spirited flavour of Indian tradition
to come close and make a strong team, that's truly the cultural
attribute of TCI Parivar.
Best Wishes!

REGULATOR
Union Minister of State for
Commerce and Industry said
his ministry was in favour of
setting up a regulator for the
shipping industry to administer
freight rates.
There is no uniformity in the
freight rates and exporters are
demanding setting up of a
regulator in view of the
increased rates in the recent
time, which is affecting overall
KUSHAGRA SETH
exports, the ministry said.
WIND POWER
Rajasthan is witnessing a boom
in proposals by private
entrepreneurs to set up wind
power projects, another means
to generate electricity in this
desert state.
Power ministry sources said
the government has so far
received investment proposals
of over Rs. 30 billion ($653
million)
from
private
entrepreneurs.
"The package of incentives
offered by the state government
for wind power projects has
helped to attract investment in
a big way," a senior official said.
The views expressed in the articles are those of the authors and not that of the editorial.

Management Notes
CORPORATE LESSONS
Lesson - 1
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung
and found that it actually gave him
enough strength to reach the first
branch of the tree.
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing
nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow, and
asked him, “Can I also sit like you and
do nothing all day long?”
The next day, after eating more dung,
he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fortnight, there he was
proudly perched at the top of the tree.
The crow answered: “Sure, why not.”
So, the rabbit sat on the ground below
the crow, and rested.
Lesson -2
Soon he was spotted by a farmer.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared,
A turkey was chatting with a bull.
Jumped on the rabbit... and ate it.
“I would love to be able to get to the
top of that tree,” sighed the turkey,
“but I haven’t got the energy.”
Who promptly shot the turkey out of
the tree.
Moral of the story is….
To be sitting and doing nothing
you must be sitting very, very high
up.
“Well, why don’t you nibble on some
of my droppings?” Replied the bull.
They’re packed with nutrients.”
Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but
it won’t keep you there.

I don't know
Thats not my scope of work.
No body told me
It was not done by me
I already informed it
I thought you knew already
I thought some one else was doing
it.
I am not feeling well
That's the way it has always been
done
I have been far too busy
I said it would happen
I was on holiday
I thought it was finished
I left it at home
It was the computer

True Friendship
A drunk phoned police to report that
thieves had been in his car. “They’ve
stolen the dashboard, the steering
wheel, the brake pedal, the radio, and
even the accelerator,” he cried out.
However,
before
the
police
investigation could start, the phone
rang a second time and the same
voice came over the line. “Never
mind,” he said with a hiccup, “I got in
the back seat by mistake.”

• If you should die before me
ask if you could bring a friend.
• If you live to be a hundred,
I want to live to be a hundred
minus one day,
so I never have to live, without you.
• True friendship is like sound
healthy; the value of it is seldom
known until it is lost.
• A real friend is one who walks in
when the rest of the world walks out.
• If all my friends were to jump off a abridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I'd be
at the bottom to catch them.
• Friendship is one mind in two bodies.
• Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not
lead. Walk beside me and be my friend.
• Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends
listen to what you don't say.
• Friends are God's way of taking care of us.
V. Dharmaraj - Supervisor, TCI Foundation, Delhi
“Easy v/s Difficult”
Easy is to judge the mistakes of
others,
Difficult is to recognize our own
mistakes.
Easy is to talk without thinking.
Difficult is to refrain the
tongue.
Easy is to forgive others.
Difficult is to ask for
forgiveness.
Easy is to dream every
night.
Difficult is to fight for a
dream.
Easy is to show victory.
Difficult is to assume
defeat with dignity…….
Easy is to admire a full
moon.
Difficult to see the other
side.
Easy is to enjoy life every
day.
Difficult to give its real value.
Easy is to pray every night.
Difficult is to find God in small things.
Easy is to promise something to
someone.
Difficult is to fulfill that
promise….
Easy is to make mistakes.
Difficult is to learn from them.
Easy is to think about
improving.
Difficult is to stop thinking it
and put it into action.
Easy is to receive.
Difficult is to give.
Easy is to keep the friendship
with words.
Difficult is to keep it with
meanings.
If opportunity doesn’t knock,
Build a door.
