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,...

Unfriendly Indian TV Channels

  Watching TV serials in the evening; is most favourite pass-time perhaps all over the world. When TV was yet to become household source of entertainment here (India) ; we heard about soap-operas becoming popular;  where Television permeated the drawing rooms. Obviously they were popular in foreign lands. We used to hear of them from various magazines. I still remember Kabir Bedi, becoming popular with Italian TV and audiences. Do you know long before we became familiar with TV; Pakistan had matured TV channels. I remember watching Lahore TV; sitting at UN camps in Indo-Pak border areas. In early 70s of last century; I watched quiz shows produced by Polka Ice-cream and that was quite popular show of Lahore TV. It took decades to present such programs here in India. However during the early days of  Durodarshan; ‘Humlog’  the unending serial ruled the roost for long. Then came a period when Durdharshan produced few best serials like ‘Buniyad’, ‘Tamash’ and many more....
