Ratan Tata’s humane gestures (in the aftermath of 26/11)

The news of Kasab's being hanged, coming out as a surprise, got the whole nation to celebrate. Some may praise pranab da for this. while some other may praise the government. We all were happy with thought that the souls of 26/11 attacked victims would rest in peace now!

Only a few people may have noticed the fact that, this was not the only thing that those victims would have wished for. Lets go back to November 2008, Hotel Taj when & where this happened, and meet a real hero, Sir.Ratan Tata - The Chairman of the Tata Group.

- While many of you'll would've read it at other places, I thought, its important to share this again as a Salute him.

Following is what Mr.Tata did to those who worked in the Taj hotel, vendors who ran various stalls around the hotel.

• All category of employees including those who had completed even 1 day as casuals were treated on duty during the time the hotel was closed.

• Relief and assistance to all those who were injured and killed

• The relief and assistance was extended to all those who died at the railway station, surroundings including the “Pav-Bhaji” vendor and the pan shop owners.

• During the time the hotel was closed, the salaries were sent by money order.

• A psychiatric cell was established in collaboration with Tata Institute of Social Sciences to counsel those who needed such help.

• The thoughts and anxieties going on people’s mind was constantly tracked and where needed psychological help provided.

• Employee outreach centers were opened where all help, food, water, sanitation, first aid and counseling was provided. 1600 employees were covered by this facility.

• Every employee was assigned to one mentor and it was that person’s responsibility to act as a “single window” clearance for any help that the person required.

• Ratan Tata personally visited the families of all the 80 employees who in some manner – either through injury or getting killed – were affected.

• The dependents of the employees were flown from outside Mumbai to Mumbai and taken care off in terms of ensuring mental assurance and peace. They were all accommodated in Hotel President for 3 weeks. 

• Ratan Tata himself asked the families and dependents – as to what they wanted him to do.

• In a record time of 20 days, a new trust was created by the Tatas for the purpose of relief of employees. 

• What is unique is that even the other people, the railway employees, the police staff, the pedestrians who had nothing to do with Tatas were covered by compensation. Each one of them was provided subsistence allowance of Rs. 10K per month for all these people for 6 months.

• A 4 year old granddaughter of a vendor got 4 bullets in her and only one was removed in the Government hospital. She was taken to Bombay hospital and several lacs were spent by the Tatas on her to fully recover her.

• New hand carts were provided to several vendors who lost their carts.

• Tata will take responsibility of life education of 46 children of the victims of the terror.

• This was the most trying period in the life of the organization. Senior managers including Ratan Tata were visiting funeral to funeral over the 3 days that were most horrible.

• The settlement for every deceased member ranged from Rs. 36 to 85 lacs [One lakh rupees tranlates to approx 2200 US $ ] in addition to the following benefits:
• Full last salary for life for the family and dependents; 
• Complete responsibility of education of children and dependents – anywhere in the world. 
• Full Medical facility for the whole family and dependents for rest of their life. 
• All loans and advances were waived off – irrespective of the amount. 
• Counselor for life for each person.

A person's greatness may not by spelt by him, but his deeds speak everything! Mr. Tata really deserves a salute with high respect :)

Jai Hind!

Traffic - An Interesting Trouble!!!

The Interesting part about traffic:
"Every person complains about traffic despite the fact that he himself is also one of the reasons behind it"

The below cartoon is an epic. It just resembles exactly what I wanted to say!

I have taken this cartoon from: http://www.businesstravellogue.com . Thnx!

So, Stop complaining..
First.. please be a respnsible citizen..!!!
Please use public transport as far as possible!!!

10 MAIN OBSTACLES TO FREE FLOW OF TRAFFIC IN INDIA:- 

• Wrong Parking and parking place conversion. 
• Encroachments on footpaths / roads. 
• Poor traffic infrastructure like signals, roads, signages, junctions etc. 
• Bottlenecks – both natural and religious. 
• VIP movement. 
• Road cutting by Government agencies / no restoration. 
• Dharnas, processions etc on roads. 
• 3500 RTC buses / 70,000 autos parking – indiscipline. 
• Lack of any budget to Traffic Department to take up Traffic Improvement measures. 
• Manpower shortage in Traffic Department.

Some simple things for us to "remember and follow" while driving:

• Keep on your left, allowing the vehicles from the opposite direction to pass. 
• Give way to traffic on your right, especially at road junctions and round abouts. 
• Always use a helmet if on a two-wheeler and always check that the strap is fixed properly. 
• While turning either left or right, give way to vehicles going straight. 
• While turning left, keep to the left side and turn close to the left side of the road to which you enter. 
• Slow down at the junctions, intersections and pedestrian crossings, school zones, temple areas etc., 
• Give signals before you make any manoeuvre, indicating your intention, so that the other road users can adjust accordingly. 
• At junctions, do not block the free lefts 
• In case traffic jams, be patient. Do not cross the median and block the opposite lane. 
• Stick to the given speed limit and remember that speed limit is related to the traffic condition. 
• Keep enough distance from the vehicle ahead to avoid collision. 
• Yellow lines should not be crossed under any condition. 
• At junctions or intersections, never park the vehicle beyond the stop line. 
• At pedestrian crossings always remember that the pedestrian has the right of way. 
• Overtake only from the right side of a vehicle. Never overtake on bridges, narrow roads, junctions, school zones and pedestrian crossings. 
• At the signal, do not stop your vehicle on the Pedestrian Crossing. 
• Two-wheelers are meant only for two. Third person is not allowed, even children. 
• Do not move your vehicle on the amber light. Wait for the light to turn green. 
• Do not drive in a zig-zag manner. 
• Do not honk and create noise pollution .
• Do not spit on the roads.

The missing 11 days of september

Have you ever checked the September month of 1752? 

==>

source: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/monthly.html?year=1752&month=9

Did You Notice: After the 2nd, the calendar skips to the 14th of September !!! 

Wonder Why?

Actually,
The British used to follow the Julian Calendar. The Julian Calendar was based on the solar year with a leap year for every four years. But it had an error rate of 3 extra days for every four centuries.

On the other hand, the Gregorian Calendar doesn't count it as a leap year if the year was directly divisible by 100, except if it was directly divisible by 400. It was more accurate with an error rate of just 1 day for every 3,300 years.

So, Britain decided to abandon the Julian calendar in favour of the gregorian calendar. For this reason, the date after 2nd September had to be shipped directly to 14th September.

Whatever may be the reason, this month stands as the most interesting month in the history of the British calendar for me ;)
