The #Cockroaches don't know what they have unleashed The resentment of the General Category students and their parents towards reservations and how they lose seats and jobs to much less competent is much greater than any outrage over paper leaks. "When you ride a tiger, it's the tiger who decides if you can dismount."

JRD Tata loses a pen! JRD Tata, then Chairman of the Tata group, and senior Tata Directors used to meet for lunch at Bombay House (the Tata Group's headquarters) every day. One day, JRD came to lunch, sad that he had lost his favourite pen. He used to always carry a Parker pen set - a fountain pen and a ball pen. "Look", he said sadly, "I have lost the ball pen. I don't know where it has gone. I have looked all over...but it's gone." One of the Directors in the lunch room that day was Dr. Jamshed (JJ) Irani of Tata Steel. He made note of JRD Tata's loss. A few weeks later, when he was visiting London, he went to a small shop near Selfridges specialising in pens, and found a ball pen identical to the one JRD had lost. He bought it immediately. The next time he met JRD Tata, he presented that pen to him. JRD was delighted. "Yes, Jamshed, it is exactly like the one I lost." For the first one or two minutes, he used it and tried it out. Then, Dr. Irani saw JRD's expression change slowly. After a couple of minutes, he gave the ball pen back to Dr. Irani, and said - "Thank you for the thought. This is exactly what I wanted, but I cannot accept it." "Why?" asked Dr. Irani, "I thought you were looking for this." JRD answered - "Yes, Jamshed. But it is a principle of mine not to accept any gifts from any of my colleagues at work. If I did, then I know my colleagues would try to outdo each other and give me exorbitant gifts." Dr. Irani tried to persuade him. "But Sir, nobody would know that I have given you this pen. You can say that you found it in your room. I am not going to go around saying that I have given JRD an identical pen." JRD responded - "Jamshed, I know you will not do any such thing. But I would know. I would know that I accepted this gift against my principles. I am sorry, but I cannot accept it." Each of us decides the principles by which we lead our lives. The principles that we will stand by, even if no one is looking or speaking about them. The principles that define who we really are. This story of JRD Tata's lost ball pen can help us reflect on what our own life's principles are. #Tata #ethics

India's defence exports just hit Rs 38,424 Cr, up 63% in a single year But just 7 years ago, a CAG report revealed India didn't have enough ammunition to last even 10 days Here's what changed because of which India's defence sector is now hitting record highs every year 1/14

A woman earning 40k per month is called financially independent, while a man earning even 2 lakhs per month is trapped in responsibilities and duties. Morden society taught girls to do the job like men but forgot to teach them that a job doesn't make them free from other responsibilities, instead it enables them to take more responsibilities than before, like men do. This mismatch in expectations and delivery is destroying a lot of modern families.

It's funny how wife will do 4LPA job and claim financial freedom and while in the same house husband will be doing 40LPA job and could barely move under the weight of responsibilities.

Looking at the quality that Trent is displaying at the Bernabéu today. Looking at the quality that Szoboszlai is displaying at Anfield today. That alongside a peak Salah, was the Liverpool right side last season. It’s pretty clear to see why Liverpool won the league last season.

On the other hand Government’s MoD’s ADA (Aeronautical Development Agency) is hiring Professionals for 5th Generation AMCA (Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft) and 4.5 gen +Tejas Mk2 and the Maximum package offered to the Appointment of Project Admin Officer (PAO) 5 Vacancies with 10 Years of Experience is 59,276 per month that makes 3,55,656 Per Year.
