Operation Anantha ..

Why is Operation Anantha so important not only for Trivandrum but for the whole state of Kerala and India ?

Encroachments are a curse of society. It is carried out over many years by the influential who have the right contacts in govt and bureaucracy and would like to make an easy buck.

Water bodies are an essential part of a society plans to use water for development and survival lest the water table goes down as has happened in th city of Bangalore.

Disaster Management Act has been revoked for the first time in the history of India in Trivandrum to tackle the floods in East Fort and to remove encroachments. Hopefully the same act will be replicated all over the state by the state administration to see that the state is cleared of all illegal encroachments,

Kerala once again has shown to the world that it is a pioneer in everything it undertakes, its people are very forward looking, its administration is first class. Hope it remains that way.

Jack Ma's 10 rules for success..

From a very ordinary school teacher in China to china's richest man and the West' most acceptable face in China, Jack Ma's story has been one of perseverance, rejection and passion.

Jack Ma, the father of modern high volume reliable e-tailing..

When he claims that his riches belong to the society, he is just a custodian, even though at present he is the 18 th richest  man on planet earth at a personal worth of $29 billion, it says, here is a person much different from the others. 

CEO of alibaba.com, the world's biggest e-retailer, three times the nearest competitor Amazon, Jack Ma has a very interesting story for the youngsters of the world.

He has at present about 48% of his staff women and 35% of his top management staff women. He says that women care more for others by nature and this is what he wants his employees also to do, care for the customer. 

Jack places first priority on the customer, next on the employee and third on the share holder. The share holder he feels is very dicey and will desert the company at the drop of a hat.

3. Jack Ma believes that ideas and technology can change the world as given in this Chinese address (with English sub-titles) he gave at Stanford in 2014. He is very thankful to the internet and Silicon Valley for giving the opportunity for him to experiment and excel..

One great thing about Jack Ma is his approach to the riches he has amassed. He says that the billions the society has given him is with him only as its custodian.  One day he intends to give it all up and go back to teaching in school, his very first profession !
