Costliest Watches in the World...

Hospitality Trade Show @ Bangalore

On 23rd June 2011, I had been to the Hospitality Trade Show, which was held in Bangalore Palace Ground. It was nice to see various products displayed in various stalls (by branded companies) at one place. Normally, in our hotel industry, to get our products we approach various companies or distributors to supply us their goods, whether it is any House Keeping Products, or F&B Service Products, or even Kitchen or Maintenance Products.

Actually We, a team of GM, E.H/K, Purchase Manager and myself went to the Hospitality Trade Show. We were in need of few housekeeping and kitchen equipments, for which we had even few quotation too, thought of having a glance of the products displayed in the Show.

Exact Narration by Suvendu Roy of TITAN Industries, who shares his inspirational encounter with a rickshaw driver in Mumbai: -

Last Sunday, my wife, kid, and I had to travel to Andheri from Bandra.

When I waved at a passing auto rickshaw, little did I expect that this ride would be any different... 

As we set off, my eyes fell on a few magazines (kept in an aircraft style pouch) behind the driver's back rest

I looked in front and there was a small TV. The driver had put on the Doordarshan channel.

My wife and I looked at each other with disbelief and amusement. In front of me was a small first-aid box with cotton, dettol and some medicines.

This was enough for me to realise that I was in a special vehicle. 

Then I looked round again, and discovered more - there was a radio, fire extinguisher, wall clock, calendar, and pictures and symbols of all faiths

- from Islam and Christianity to  Buddhism, Hinduism and Sikhism. 

There were also pictures of the heroes of 26/11- Kamte, Salaskar, Karkare and Unnikrishnan. 

I realized that not only my vehicle, but also my driver was special.

I started chatting with him and the initial sense of ridicule and disbelief gradually diminished. 

I gathered that he had been driving an auto rickshaw for the past 8-9 years; he had lost his job when his employer's plastic company was shut down. 

He had two school-going children, and he drove from 8 in the morning till 10 at night. 

No break unless he was unwell.  "Sahab, ghar mein baith ke T.V dekh kar kya faida? Do paisa income karega toh future mein kaam aayega."

We realized that we had come across a man who represents Mumbai – the spirit of work, the spirit of travel and the spirit of excelling in life.

I asked him whether he does anything else as I figured that he did not have too much spare time. 

He said that he goes to an old age home for women in Andheri once a week or whenever he has some extra income, where he donates tooth  brushes, toothpastes, soap,  hair oil, and other items of daily use. 

He pointed out to a painted message below the meter that read: "25 per cent discount on metered fare for the handicapped. 

Free rides for blind passengers up to Rs. 50.

My wife and I were struck with awe. The man was a HERO!    A hero who deserves all our respect!!!    

Our journey came to an end;    45 minutes of a lesson in humility, selflessness, and of a hero-worshipping Mumbai, my temporary home.    

We disembarked, and all I could do was  to pay him a tip that would hardly cover a  free ride for a blind man.   

I hope, one day, you too have a chance to meet Mr Sandeep Bachhe in his auto rickshaw: MH-02-Z-8508.

The sharing of LOVE.....A Nice and Story

The sharing of LOVE... 

An old man placed an order for one hamburger, French fries and a drink. 

He unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half, placing one half in front of his wife. 


He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. 


He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them . As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them were looking over and whispering. 


Obviously they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.' 


As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table and politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said, they were just fine - they were used to sharing everything 


People closer to the table noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink. 


Again, the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them.
This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.' 


Finally, as the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you are waiting for?' 


She answered --

Never Make a Woman Angry ; ; ;

A woman arrived at the Gates of Heaven. While she was waiting for Saint Peter to
greet her, she peeked through the gates and saw a beautiful banquet table.

Sitting all around were her parents and all the other people she had loved and
who had died before her. They saw her and began calling greetings to her, "Hello. How are you! We've been waiting for you! Good to see you."

When Saint Peter came by, the woman said to him, This is such a wonderful place! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," Saint Peter told her. "Which word?" the woman asked,
"Love".

The woman correctly spelled "Love" and Saint Peter welcomed her into Heaven.

About a year later, Saint Peter came to the woman and asked her to watch the Gates of Heaven for him that day. While the woman was guarding the Gates of Heaven, her husband arrived.

"I am surprised to see you," the woman said. "How have you been?"

"Oh, I've been doing pretty well since you died," her husband told her.

 "I married the beautiful young nurse who took care of you while you were ill and
then I won the multi-state lottery. I sold the little house you and I lived in and bought a huge mansion. My wife and I traveled all around the world. We were on vacation in Cancun and I went water skiing today. I fell and hit my head, and here I am. What a bummer! How do I get in?"

"You have to spell a word," the woman told him.

"Which word?" her husband asked.

"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis", she replied.

Moral of the story: Never make a woman angry . . . there will be Hell to pay!

18 Years.....too early for girls to fall in Love ?.?.?

Do you think you are eligible to fall in Love if you have already reached your 18 years of milestone? 

The Karnataka High Court has proposed that the law to be amended to allow the arranged marriages for girls at 18 and love marriages only at 21. A division bench of the High Court was of the view that girls should not be allowed to choose their love partners on their own till they turn 21.

Justice K. Bhakthavastsala and Justice K. Govindarajulu insisted that the Parliament had not taken into account love marriages when the Bill was introduced, since the Hindu Marriage Act does not deal with Love Marriages. They proposed that this is the high time to amend the law suitably so that the sufferings of such girls and their parents will be controlled.

In the practical scenario, we are witnessed of so many love and affairs, where the teen girls fall in love of their guys with lot of hopes and expectations, after a certain period of their married life when those dreams and hopes are not fulfilled they repent and curse on each other, which in turn affects both the family members also.

And the rest of their life covers with tragedy and depression.

In the context of such incidents, the above judges suggested that "Run Away Marriages" (which is better known as typical love marriages) of girls under 21 years to be declared as Void or Voidable.
