Improvement Project of Science Construction CS

Abstract Science Construction’s business is in planning, developing and building road projects. The major of its clients are municipalities, city governments, and other public sector entities. While the bankruptcy rates for these clients is very low, when economic downturns happen, their ability to pay in a timely fashion also suffers. This leads to businesses such as Science Construction needing to take on additional debt and to find creative methods in order to stay afloat during times of recession. Methods such as selling accounts receivables at discounted rates and taking larger lines of credit through banks and other lending institutions are some of the ways organizations can remain viable when their cash inflows have turned into a trickle. Science Construction is asking the Turkish Courts to postpone their bankruptcy proceedings for a year while they attempt to restructure. Through this, suggestions such as forcing shareholders to pay their debt to the organization, gaining credi...

Obama, Out Sourcing and Uncle Tom's Cabin

The recent measures adopted by US president to impose more tax on those companies who outsource labors mainly from India, China or Philippines; may not encourage the company to source their workforce locally. Such measures have been adopted by President to salvage US economy from recession, unemployment et el. He expects this measure will motivate the US companies to offer more employments to Americans; so in turn this will help salvage US economy to some extent. May be it is beyond President Obama’s wild imagination that in India a high skilled engineer can be hired for $2 or less per hour! In US at least $8-10 are paid to unskilled labors per hour. Obviously it will be still attractive to outsource from India than engaging local workforce despite of higher tax burden for US companies. Though slapping more tax will shrink the margin and reduce the bottom line (profit)of the Indian companies. This has been opined by the industry experts.
Well this may be matter of relief for Indian IT companies but there is a matter of grave concern for Indian software engineers or IT personals. Lack of any ethics, due to certain amendments in labor law, most of the Indian or foreign companies having work base in India specially in IT sector are indulging in exploitation of their work force. It is unthinkable elsewhere, barring war fields, any worker is working at a stretch for 21 to 22 hours! Usually working for 12-14 hours per day and without any week end off is not very unusual in this industry. Mind it this out stretched working hours carry no financial benefits; ever now a days with a plea of recession most of the IT companies have withdrawn subsidized Tiffin, lunch and transport facilities.
The spirit of “May Day” , that stands for 8 hours a day work has been thrown away. Surprisingly, none notices! It seems the days of ‘indentured labour” or “slavery” is back again. Let us wait for another best seller like ‘Uncle Tom’s cabin’!

CHITTARANJAN IN 50s

Hi, Everybody, sometime some of you keep me asking about my days and time at Chittaranjan. This is natural, after all there are gaps of decades between most of you and me ! This has prompted me with an idea of writing this to share my old good days with those of you who are interested. Indian Railway under the British colonial rule was another group of companies with different British Managements. Since the different railway networks under all of them were used mutually for their own benefits. At places, different railway companies had the facilities of repairing and maintenance of their locomotives and passenger and goods carriages. To name a few, like Anda, Adra, Howrah, Liluah, Mughal sarai, Jhajha , these are they places I mention since they are quite closed by our loving Chittaranjan. The locomotives were imported from Manchester, England and few from Canada and Australia , all under the Union Jack. A good number of railway operational staffs were anglo Indians,...

Jyoti Basu.....The Great Son of Bengal

I don't remember the exact date, but probably it was in the month of August 1991. I was attached as a free lancer to a least know weekly “ The Democratic Forum” ; my fancy to give a try to my journalistic flair was the sole motive with that association. My editor, Late Mr M.L. Shah was the person who was encouraging me. That day he came to my office and asked if I was free in the evening. Fortunately I was and asked him back the reason. He said Mr Jyoti Basu would give a press conference at the press club, Kolkata and if I wish I could attend that. It was a pleasant surprise ; so I readily agreed. In the evening Mr, B.L. Shah of “Dainik Rooplekha” , a Hindi daily from the same stable of my weekly, fetched me from my office to the press club. We were early birds, outside the club , on the lawn people were sitting making circles and chatting with each other. I felt a fish out of water, as none knew me and so I. Turning to my companion, I found he was enjoying my discomfort! ...

Everybody is busy with all their wisdom, calculations how long the bear phase will last. No doubt it is pertinent question. The investors have deserted the market, without a sign of returning early. The day traders are trying hard to recover their loses. The general feelings of payment crises under existing circumstances is not ruled out. News are there as brokers committing suicides.

Let us trust him and raise no question. Whenever the bear phase users in the market , you know, people start guessing the bottom. Because the bottom offers ideal time to enter the market. But most of us, keep guessing but can never identify the true bottom. Better not...
