Banking
On luck
Waiting for hours is not only difficult but also tiresome.Recently ,i had to encash a cheque at a leading multinatonal bank.
Since I was not aware of the Ramadan timings,Ireached the bank at 8-30am,thinking that during Ramadan they may open ,at that time.
I saw a board stating that the openingtime was 9.am.Idecided to meet a friend and return.When i arrived back ,Iwas shocked to seethat more then 60,people had collected tokens.
Ithought Imay have to wait for two hours.
While Iwas wondering what to do, a person approched me and said,I got some urgentwork.You can use this token.’
The number was instantly displayed on the board.Imanaged to collect my cheque amount.
Time is precious.I counted myself lucky that the gentle man came to my rescue.

UPA Govt’s 100,Days Achivements.

 Even after successful completion of 100days ,Upa govt.was not shown any Developement in commonman’s agenda is sad and Pity.The essential commodities prices has not come d own. ,Upa govt.was not shown any Developement in common man’s agenda.The essential commodities prices has not come down,partcularly food items. I do agree Rome Has not Built In one over night,but no sign of improvement from Mr,Manmohan singh’s govt is sad.People were expecting high hopes from this secular govt.Apart from inflation now the main challange for the Govt in Health area is more visible . Planning and implementation requires Determination,will,and above all execution.Wheather they Will induce confidence to the commonman is the question mark.?

On: 26 Aug 2009 09:36 pm Your article Excessiveforce was nice and interesting to read.After two decades this is the first time Karnataka has moved to this decision.Police constables working in the same place for more then 15,Years and the Senior officers transfer also affects the career of Constables.With this move we can expect better service and recognition for constables.Crime rate should be controlled.

indian National Carrier Air India’s Future.

Ihave been seeing our National carrier’s functioning for the past two decades.Iam unable to Understand   ,inspite of Talented Pilots and crewmembers why the important area Service is Neglected.? .Being a Service Industry the Staff should not Go for Strike.They should Provide Better service to Passangers,check the apparatus periodically and above all maintain the Time.Manage ment also should  restructure the system.In between the Dialoque,ultimate sufferer is Passangers.Iexpect in the Coming days Air India should Eradicate the name Doubtful India in all aspects.Both the Staff members and the Management Should look in to the Passangersinterest.Even Before Recession the Air line was not doing well.This is Hightime forget the past and implement a New strategy.

Posted by K.Ragavan.Dubai. on Aug 24, 2009 your Elaborate coverage on the Drought Hit Areas In UP.The Tragic Part about 400,Farmers suicided in the past Four years inBundelkhand was painful to read.The Chief Minister of U.P Has to take action ,but failed.Making Media hype is not going to solve the real burning Problems.Good coverage on the Drought issue.
