Exponential rise in fuel price rise-3

The union ministry for Petroleum and Natural gas is drawing up a road map to ensure country's self-reliance in fossil fuel and natural gas. while India for now imports up-to 80% of its crude oil needs, the road map seeks to reduce this by further 30-40% over the next three to five years, its minister M Verappa Moily said. Non-oil imports during April - October, 2012-13 were valued at $ 181566.5 million which was 8.2% lower than the level of such imports valued at $ 197833.6 million in April - October, 2011-12. The oil price was higher by $ 0.49 per barrel on 9.11.2012 as compared to $105.60 per barrel on the previous trading day's figures of 8.11.2012. The international crude oil price for Indian Basket as computed by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas increased to $ 106.09 per barrel (bbl) on 9.11.2012. In rupee terms also, crude oil price went up marginally to Rs 5764.93 per barrel on 09.11.2012 as compared to Rs 5748.86 per barrel on 08.11.2012, said a government statement on 12th November, 2012. This oil rise was due to rise in price in dollar terms though rupee appreciation moderated the increase in price in rupee terms. 

Jijo's reason behind joining PGDM program


In PGDM degree the course is quite flexible i.e. the course mainly designed in taking consideration with what the market wants from the current Managers. They can easily change the course taking into consideration that what is needed to be taught to benefit the fresh minds so that once they join the company they don’t face much problem. Added with PGDM helps an individual to groom himself as there are lots of value added courses like MSS, Photography etc. which will make my CV appealing. PGDM also gets an edge over the MBA graduates as lots of Industry based people comes and teaches the class. Taking PSGIM in consideration I feel that as the majority of students are from work-experienced background it helps me to think more rationally and that’s why I choose PGDM program.

Tarun's Reason behind choosing PGDM programme


The PGDM programmes are offered by autonomous institutions which are student centric. In PGDM programme the Institutions are responsive to industry needs and they continuously change their curricula and syllabi to address the concerns of the corporate world and to incorporate new developments in the discipline.  More importantly, they offer high value added courses and workshop to enhance the employability of the students and to brush up their life skills. Hence they not only focus on academics but also on personal and professional dimensions of a student. Added with all these fact one of the reason why I choose PGDM programme instead of MBA is that I was told that in PGDM programme the majority of the student will be from work experience background. Keeping all these facts in mind I choose to do PGDM degree from PSGIM.

Modern Poem


The sunlight on the garden

The sunlight on the garden
Hardens and grows cold,
We cannot cage the minute
Within its nets of gold;
When all is told
We cannot beg for pardon.

Our freedom as free lances
Advances towards its end;
The earth compels, upon it
Sonnets and birds descend;
And soon, my friend,
We shall have no time for dances.

 -Louis MacNeice
This poem is written by Louis MacNeice who is an Irish poet. The poet narrates the importance of time. He says that nothing in life is permanent everything is temporary and we should enjoy each and every second of our life. As written in our Quran “Time(Al-Asr) is a witness, that man is surely in a state of loss, except for those who believe and do good deeds and exhort one another to hold fast to the truth, and who exhort one another to steadfastness.”(103:1-2)
In this chapter Quran talks about the importance of time and how important it is make sure that we value it.

exponential rise in diesel price - II



Yet again the Aam aadmi got a heavy shock when the UPA government decided to revise the Diesel price by 13%. Diesel which was available for Rupees 45 has now become somewhere around 52. After a month when we look at the impact of this rise we can clearly understand the rise in all the basic commodities like rice, pulse, fruits etc. A glance at the price list at the provision store is enough to bring worry to a person. It’s high time when you start curtaining your budget. The cascading effect of diesel price hike is leaving many households high and dry. Talking about the travelling expense within this two years Coimbatore’s city bus price has almost doubled. Places where the minimum fare was 2 rupees has now become 5 rupees.
And still our beloved minister says “if you earn Rupees 32 a month, you will be considered like a family who is above BPL (Below Poverty Line)”. Somebody should make them understand that there is a life existing beyond politics. It makes no sense to make such sort of comment just to get vote of the public.
If this price rise keeps on happening there will be one day when the suicide rates will increase by extent which will be tough to stop. It’s high time when some steps are meant to be taken or else a dream to become a developed one will just become a dream.

Future of Fun City Mall



Fun city mall which is situated in the heart of Coimbatore has pros as well as cones. According to the youngster it’s a nice place to hang out with their friends and according to the old people they feel it’s a waste of their time because the arrangement is not proper. For example, if you want to buy a trouser and a shirt you will have to walk a lot.
While strolling through the mall we found out that youngsters were having nice time with their friends. According to them weekend should be special and because of Fun city mall’s existence, now their weekend are indeed special. Ladies where happy as they don’t have to go to different shop as they can purchase almost everything from the mall and from the perspective of Male they don’t have to visit one shop after another. A youngster said that finally MacDonald came to Coimbatore, earlier to have MacDonald’s “Chicken Maharaja Mac” you have to travel either to Bangalore or to Chennai which was literally not possible. But, after Fun has open they can enjoy their Maharaja Mac right here in Coimbatore.
According to the customers they felt that there is no facility to drink water and the shops where we will get food is quite costly and the taste is not good. They commented that the burger which “Mac’D” serves was cold and the queue were very long. According to a lady there is no specific place where children can play. She told us that in all the other malls including “Brookefields” has a specific zone where small children can play video games. The products which we get in Reliance Trend are not fresh enough. They also pointed out that in some places like “Heritage” and “Jashn” doesn’t accept any card and the main problem arises because there is no ATM centre available in the mall. Customer also felt a bit disappointed because the entire mall is not open. There are shops like “Shoppers Stop”, “KFC” and “Fun theatre” which are yet to open and as the per the sources it will take another one month to open. Most of the escalator was working but there is no ramp facility available. Hence, if any physically challenge person wish to see the mall will fail to do so.
Some suggestion from our side to improve the facility of Mall will be:-
·         Appoint more security guard for the safety of customer, as mall will be in the preference of pick pocketers.
·         Appoint more guards in the Parking lot area.
·         Fastfood giant like Mac’D, KFC and Marrybrown should serve the food faster and the food should be served warm.
·         Proper queue facilities for the customer while ordering their food.
·         Authority should open a Video game parlour where kids can play and can spend their time.
·         All the shop should accept credit card as most of the customer like to transact through credit cards.
·         Open the Fun Theatre as soon as possible.
As the response of the customer is a mixed one, we can infer that if the mall is properly maintained and if the shops keep updating their product it will yield them a high profit.






A day in the life of Latha



I was dumb stuck when I came across the fact about the present condition of Indian woman. I always knew that woman are considered as a lower section of our society but it swept my feet out of the land when I had an opportunity to talk to a woman, who strive hard to earn just to complete the basic needs of their family. The sacrifice which she has done toward the enlistment of her family is mind blowing. She has taught me a lesson which I will treasure for my entire life. Miss Latha mother of two children whom she considers as the most precious thing in her life lives with her mother in law. Her husband who passed away three years back due to excessive consumption of alcohol and left behind a loan which is still acting as a barrier for their family to come out of misery.

            She dictates that she was married at the age of 16 and from thereon she has never look back. Problem kept on coming but she was the IRON LADY of her family. After her husband passed away she took a job in a nursery. She wakes up early in the morning, sends her children to government school and turns up right on time to the nursery. She has maintained a balance between her family and her job.

 Asking about her workplace I found out blatant discrimination. Talking on the general terms, working women are sexually harassed at the work place. Especially, women employees working in night shift are more vulnerable to such incidents. Nurses, for example, face this problem nearly every day. There is nothing that is done in hospitals to tackle and address the danger they face. Such blatant disregard of current Indian laws is one reason why sexual harassment at the workplace continues to increase. Further, many of them are physically and psychologically abused, by their in-laws and husband but they do not complain or let others know about it, particularly if they have children. This activity not to let out the truth leads the in-laws to keep on harassing the woman. I feel ashamed to point out the fact that the majority of assaults happens in a family which is well-educated. I just hope and wish that this type of unethical practice should stop right now and strict action should be taken against the families which are found guilty.


Current society is a male dominant one and still there exist lots of woman like latha who fights daily to make sure there family is taken care off. It’s amazing to see the dedication which latha shows toward her work. It was indeed a nice learning curve for me and my blog partner to see this part of India where still lots of things are to be taken care off. Would like to share one fact about Miss latha that even though she have never been to school she dreams that her elder son becomes an Engineer. I do believe and hope that we so called the GEN – X will bring changes in the society and one day will come where the society will be free from all the evil elements. 


We might have got independence in 1947 but are woman are free from the shackles of the society?  Last but not the least, would make an appeal to all my readers to take their life in reverse mode and think about their mother and sacrifice she has done to bring us up. Salute to all the mothers and a special one to my mom from my side whose eyes will be filled with tears while reading this blog. LOVE you Maa.....

Tuesday 11 September 2012


As soon as you tune onto any radio channels the hottest topic which our radio jockeys will make fun of is the exponential rise in prices of petrol. “AAM AADMI” who strives hard to make his family’s lifestyle better faces another hit when our so called UPA government decided to increase the oil prices by 7.50 a litre.
Some say it’s a fault of our government and some say it’s the fault of our OMC’s who keep on pressuring the government to decrease the taxes or to provide them some subsidies which indirectly results on the increase in price of petrol/diesel. But, as a middle class family boy I see this price rise as a process where my expense needs to revised and believe me it’s a tough task to do. As going through an article by a famous economist he says price rise is good as the inflation rate will increase and we will be able to increase our GDP to a great extent in our future. But, someone explain to me why to make our present life miserable just to improve our future. I don’t see any point in hiking the oil prices for 8th time in a year. Rise which takes place once in a year which is nominal can be entertained but now a days it feels like every once in a month the petrol prices are increasing.
I do believe it’s very easy to blame our current government. But believe me my friends one way or other even we are responsible for the hike of prices. With the increase in demand of vehicles it’s very nominal to see a nuclear family of 4 members has 2 cars. Question to all the readers here whether it’s really necessary? How many times we take out our vehicle to travel a destination which is less than a kilometre? Are we so lazy or are we so careless to forget the fact that petrol is on the verge to get extinct in mere future? All of us live in same environment and it’s our responsibility to make sure that our future generation can also get benefited.
While discussing about the topic among my friends a very funny result came out which I would like to share to all the boys. A friend of mine said that all the boys can enjoy the extra pocket money under the disguise of petrol and take your girls out for a long walk. So let’s go green and pray to god that there won’t be any price rise at least not for this year.
