My Day with Destiny
the only day that I remember from my Childhood as the most fabulous one when I am happy through out the day, Planning for future, not much thinking of Past is 27th march. you know why!( Need not say)
27th March2008 was also the same. A day When i arrived to Kolkata again from Balasore after the 16th Gun being fired in Chandipur at PXE.
I got ready well. Planned for the future .my tech Plans. Got wild in train over a piece of news that we should go back to the dress sense that our ancestors use at that particular place for thousand of years. where are we going. No NecKtie.It makes you hotter and thereby increases your ac power consumption.which is detrimental to the atmosphere ,leading to further global warming. We should better go for earning process used by our forefathers also rather than running after MBA.sure after sometime it will come.
We are definitely the only one genetically wrong species in the whole world.

Days of Tension seems to be over.

Are They ...Probably not... Not in a lifetime...

Thats the Life..I have chosen to lead.Except for few changes here and there Life is meant to be lived like that by ME...How Satisfied do i feel when i try to reach another milestone.another life another challenge...

True .When Gary Kasparov was world Champion in his early 20's. The wife of another great chess player told her that "you are dead now. because you will never again be able to have the best day in your life. you already have lived it."But He savoured that moment throughout his career by becoming the best player year after year ..not getting satisfied with it. Fire was so much there in him that He could not lose the top spot till he retired.

Life is a Promise and we have to fulfil it. - Mother Teresa

1st person
Q. Why do u want to do MBA.
when i was working as a product development engineer, i was equipped with my technical knowledge from an engineering college. But now whne i will be graduating to senior engineer post and then deputy manager, I feel myself lacking the knowledge of business management aspects, decision making, risk avoidance and other such things. So i feel tat this is the right time to take a break and just learn it and then go back to job.
Q. So How do u rat eyour company?
I feel its an overall good organisation under the defence ministry (along with DRDO and HAL and Ordnance factories) in its chosen field of electronics and communication. There had been good growth for quite a few years.
Q. So what post you are holding presently.
Deputy Engineer, then Senior Engineer.
Q.What next
Deputy Manager.
QYou have to speak on “Dont count your Chicken before They Hatch” for two minutes.
...........
Q. But what was the topic given by me..
Me: Sorry Sir I couldnot understand the meaning fully.but i understood the meaning like this....
Q.what do u get out of chicken
only eggs no meat also..what else:
feathers
Q. What for feathers are used?
Me: in making Shuttle cock for badminton and such games.
Q.What was the case for shuttle cock along with the badminton..
Me: that thye were not able to import the shuttle cocks.
Q. But what is the proble in importing .
Me: thats what was the press release by Mr. Prakash Padukone for that.
I dont know what had gone behind it.

2nd person: You have just named few companies under Defence Ministry.Are they all or there are more.Name any other Company.
Me: BEML.
Q.How is that Company?
Me: Ok on growing track only.
Q.What does that company Make:
Me: They are making Big Vehicles with TATRA .. for Carrying Antenna and such Heavy things.Yes for carrying antenna and such big Items....
Q.For the first time from you i am listening that BEL is a good company.. People are telling it is not as good organisation.
For last few years since our last CMD Mr. V K Koshy and then Mr. Y. Gopala Rao ,The company was on the track of growth with 15% growth per year. Chennai Unit itself ,while last year gave turnover of 100 crores this yr it will reach at 300 cr.
Q.Growth is OK But what about quality?
Since it was a closed environment So We were not looking for quality that seriously. But definitely now in open environment to face challenges,We will come up with better quality products.
Q. Do you know that your company started making TV also.
Yes Sir. But then Defence Ministry told them to concentrate on core area rather than looking for consmer products.
Q. Who were the other public sector companies to come up with TV.
May be ECIL.
Q. yes, Any other organisation.
May be State electronics companies..like tamilnadu..
Q. No in fact Kerala electronics limited and ...(forgot the name) Produced it.
Q. Have you heard of (one tv model he told).
No sir..
3rd Person
Q. It seemed that you came prepared to give a speech here..
No sir, I could not understand the topic fully..it was the interpretation of me ..
Q. But it seemed like a speech.
Yes in fact its a dream for me.. My aim..
Q.A common perception is that when people from bihar come out ,they excel. But within the state they do not perform.why?
Are you asking the question that why the growth is not there..
yes in fact to grow a company the political scenario should be good.
The leaders in fact has created such an environment tthta if people pay 2 lacs or so they will get a job. Such a thinking should be removed from the mind of the leaders. They should think in a broad perspective for growth of company then creating jobs..
entrepreneurship should be promoted rather than romoting nepotism and all..
Q But democracy is there.
Yes ,but theearlier leadre had knew that he had to get 30% of votes only to become cm. Even if 70% of people were against him,he could win. Now the rest of 70% people could not create consensus to remove that leader..
Q I think people like you should come up to do something for the state.
Yes Sir, In fact my purpose of doing MBA is that in the end i want to something for state by creating some industry there..education factor can be taken care of by few enthusiatic people gathered for working towards this purpose.. but job creation ,employment is difficult..we have to convince the local leader to give urs a protected area.. areate one industry there .. make it a model for the state and copy it in other parts..
