Money has no memory. Experience has. You will never know what the total cost of your education was, but for a lifetime you will recall and relive the memories of schools and colleges. Few years from now, you will forget the amount you paid to settle the hospitalization bill, but will ever cherish having saved your mother’s life or the life you get to live with the just born. You won’t remember the cost of your honeymoon, but to the last breath remember the experiences of the bliss of togetherness. Money has no memory. Experience has.

Good times and bad times, times of prosperity and times of poverty, times when the future looked so secure and times when you didn’t know from where the tomorrow will come… life has been in one way or the other a roller-coaster ride for everyone. Beyond all that abundance and beyond all that deprivation, what remains is the memory of experiences. Sometimes the wallet was full… sometimes even the pocket was empty. There was enough and you still had reasons to frown. There wasn’t enough and you still had reasons to smile. Today, you can look back with tears of gratitude for all the times you had laughed together, and also look back with a smile at all the times you cried alone. All in all, life filled you with experiences to create a history of your own self, and you alone can remember them all.

The first time you balanced yourself on your cycle without support… The first time she said ‘yes’ and it was two years since you proposed… The first cry… the first steps… the first word… the first kiss… all of your child… The first gift you bought for your parents and the first gift your daughter gave you… The first award… the first public appreciation… the first stage performance… And the list is endless… Experiences, with timeless memory… No denying that anything that’s material cost money, but the fact remains the cost of the experience will be forgotten, but the experience never.
So, what if it’s economic recession? Let it be, but let there not be a recession to the quality of your life. You can still take your parents, if not on a pilgrimage, at least to the local temple. You can still play with your children, if not on an international holiday, at least in the local park. It doesn’t cost money to lie down or to take a loved one onto your lap. Nice time to train the employees, create leadership availability and be ready for the wonderful times when they arrive. Hey! Aspects like your health, knowledge development and spiritual growth are not economy dependent.
Time will pass… economy will revive… currency will soon be in current… and in all this; I don’t want you to look back and realize you did nothing but stayed in gloom. Recession can make you lose out on money. Let it not make you lose out on experiences… If you are not happy with what you have, no matter how much more you have, you will still not be happy.

Make a statement with the way you live your life. How I feel has nothing to do with how much I have

EARTH DAY 22nd April ,2009

Let’s join hands to save the earth – the place is right here and the time is right ‘NOW’. Here are some “green tips” that can go a long way to save the environment. Let us do our bit to preserve the environment and look forward to a happier, healthier and cleaner future.

Turn off electricity in unoccupied rooms.
Use natural lighting instead of electric lighting whenever possible.
Turn off non-essential and decorative lighting, especially in unoccupied areas.
Remember to turn off your television, video player, stereo and computer when you’re not using them.
Choose Energy Star® products. Replace incandescent light bulbs with Energy Star® compact fluorescent light bulbs, especially in high use light fixtures. Compact fluorescent lights use 75% less energy than incandescent lights.
Turn off your computer monitor when you leave your desk .
Seal cracks around doors, windows, and walls. Don’t pay for hot or cool air that escapes through cracks and openings scattered around the house.
Less driving means fewer emissions. Besides saving fuel , walking and biking are great forms of exercise. Explore your community mass transit system, and avail of options for carpooling to work or school. When you do drive, make sure your car is running efficiently. For example, keeping your tyres properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by more than 3 percent. Every gallon of gas you save not only helps your budget, it also keeps 20 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
Share information about recycling and energy conservation with your friends, neighbours and co-workers, and take opportunities to encourage public officials to establish programs and policies that are good for the environment .
 It is also a good idea to turn off the water when you’re not using it. While brushing your teeth, shampooing the dog or washing your car, turn off the water until you actually need it for rinsing. You’ll reduce your water bill and help to conserve a vital global resource.

Let us reduce waste by choosing reusable products instead of disposables. Buying products with minimal packaging (including the economy size when that makes sense for you) will help to reduce waste. And whenever you can, recycle paper, plastic, newspaper, glass and aluminum cans. If there isn’t a recycling program at your workplace, school, or in your community, ask about starting one. By recycling half of your household waste, you can save 2,400 pounds of carbon dioxide annually.

So let’s choose hope and action to work together and help preserve our one and only, incredibly beautifully, amazingly diverse planet Earth………. Happy Earth Day!

Hello Friends,

I would like to take this opportunity to invite all of you to my new home. Just a simple get – together

Please consider this as a personal invitation and I would be very glad to have you all around on that auspicious day.

Looking forward for your presence.

Wipro Technologies the top IT company has decided to Layoff about 4-5 per cent of its workforce, about 2,400-3,000 employees, under the scanner for non-performance. Company sources reveal that about 1,000 employees have been asked to leave.

While some would be given counseling to improve their performance, others would be asked to leave.

NEWS Source Wipro’s corporate vice-president (human resources) Mr. Pratik Kumar confirmed the move. Asked how many employees had been asked to move on, he said the company did not disclose that number, but it was “significantly lower than 2,000″. “I can’t comment on a particular number,” Kumar said, when asked to comment.

Recently IBM, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) & Panti Computer Systems had given pink slips for their employees for non-performance, increasingly on fake biodatas,.

In February, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the country’s largest IT services firm, had given pink slips to 500 non-performers. IBM had also given the pink slip to a large number of its entry-level trainee programmers working across the country, citing performance issues.

In July, Patni Computer Systems had shown the door to 400 employees. While IT companies said the move was not linked to the slowdown in the US, a key market for IT services, there was a consensus that it was time for belt-tightening.
