Iron Ore Crisis!!!

Lakhs of Tons of Iron Ore is still waiting at KrishnaPatnam port to be exported. Initially a ton of Iron ore was sold at the rate of 3000 - 4000 INR. Now China has announced that , for coming 5 years they have enough Iron Ore. Now rate for single ton is around Rs 300 and Government rate is Rs 600. Either way do not work out for mine owners. Already few mines are shut down and many are in the queue.

Another hit :-(

More about Satyam

Satyam is paying Rs 7000 to few freshers (they should get 25000 as salary). When approached Satyam authorities about salary deduction, 2 reasons given are

1. Miscalculation
2. We do not have much amount in hand to pay you

Certainly its time for HRD Ministry to intervene and set things right. Seems real estate is sexy place to invest.

Satyam harsh towards employees leaving company?

He joined Satyam recently. He is happy with his package but not with the kind of work he is doing. He requested to change the team so that he can get a kinda quality work. No one responded. He made his decision to leave the company and he got an offer from another org.

Now notice period is 2 months. As his experience is less, certainly team has got no dependency on him and client accepted to release him. But Satyam refused to send him out since he is billable resource. He agreed to stay back for 2 months.

After 2 months, they made final settlement to him and gave a cheque worth Rs 70,000 INR. when he deposited the cheque, he came to know that cheque is stopped. He tried to reach various people there, but no one is accepting the call. He mailed and got no reply.

Even i heard another incident from another colleague while he was leaving Satyam. They held his passport and threatened him of not giving passport if he leaves.

P.S. I donot have any grudge towards Satyam. The news i heard is very genuine.

Its a miss...

There was a fight between husband and wife. After some time, husband went wild and took out Ax to Kill/Warn his wife. Their child was in the center and watching them. In the middle of fight, accidentally Ax fell on child's thy. Ax is removed and wounded thy is left.

No treatment, No police complaint.

Few weeks back in same village, one persons's leg was completely caught in fire and the fire is stopped and leg is left.

Again no treatment, No police complaint.

I am talking about Barbaric villagers in State of Andhra Pradesh. These Tribal villages are situated in west godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. I came to know about all these incidents after i came across a news in Eenadu daily (Snippet attached).

An NGO group (Sathya Sai devotees) along with few officials were on some visit to these forests and identified these two incidents. and villagers are not ready for any kinda treatment. They are happy to lead their life with those wounded legs but not with people in Cities/towns (In other words, with us). Its true, tribals are scared of us. this NGO group took lot of their energy out to bring these children for treatment in city.

Now my friends started funding to this incident and i was supposed to visit those villages with the help of these NGO's on saturday. Our bus got delayed delayed delayed testing our patience and at the end, we decided to cancel the trip. Otherwise i would have got good pics and videos of villagers and their lives. Its a miss , but i am sure even after 10 years they will be like that only. I can get pics / videos any time i visit later.

Questions -
1. NGO people are feeling pain to collect funds, why no Arogya Sri or any other government schemes to tribals (May be just because they are not part of vote bank and no one from their end will come out for protests against government).
2. These people ran into forests during british rule, why are they still hiding and still scared of us? who should be held responsible for not motivating them for all these years? are tribal officers there only to preserve forest? Not to preserve villagers there?

Vacation hang over

Just came back from my native after 10 days trip. I was expecting many things happening and many mails flowing in office, but only 4 mails were waiting in my outlook and other things didn't progress. I am still on bench without work. New project got delayed allowing insecurity (about job because of current market situation) to continue. Time to be more active than previous 2 months just because i am not doing anything to my company for the money paid.

My tax for charity?

Hello Government Officers - It is highly appreciated that you are spending several millions for the welfare of poor people,farmers and women. But please think a while before you spend my entire tax for this charity activity. I'm doing enough charity in my life, Please do not spend my tax also for this purpose. My company deduct tax from my salary and credit rest of the salary to my bank account. Therefore i consider myself as sincere tax payee. So this tax payee want to bring few things to your notice.

-> Recently i was crossing a circle and a sincere police officer caught me and charged me some amount for not having pollution checked (I got receipt as well). When i said, i don't have money, sincere traffic police asked me to deposit my license and get money from ATM. Unfortunately, signal lights were not working near that circle. I asked Traffic Police to let me know whom should i penalize about these signal Lights. Traffic police asked me to penalize CM of our state for not allotting proper budget for these roads and signals improvement. Traffic Police also informed me that they have collected 14 Crores in the form of fines (from people who are not following traffic rules) and transferred it to government. Its really unfortunate that you are spending my fine money also on charity. Recently i faced similar issue when there were rains in Hyderabad. My tax and fine amount with same old roads and traffic signals
-> I was waiting for a bus at mantralayam and i got ticket to hyderabad. Bus is supposed to leave at 1:15 PM in Mantralayam. But it reached mantralayam bus stand at 3 PM. When i demanded(requested) explaination, driver responded " We have only one bus here and if the bus condition is not good, what should i do". After paying so much money and waiting for 2 hours, i got very soft reply. Recently i heard a statement from a minister who takes care of RTC that you have not provided any funds to RTC this year.

-> I saw one fly over in Secunderabad (Seethaphalmandi), where construction was started 10 years back and flyover didn't make any progress. It was stopped in the middle of construction thus blocking vehicles there.

So no roads improvement and no transport improvement for us. Good Good.

-> I was very happy that you have implemented some new schemes to poor people like Arogya Shree. I read in one news paper that one guy couldn't get enough help from Arogya Shree and he needs immediate help for an operation. I immediately approached him and found the problem. He got arogya shree card in febrauary during Arogya Shree launch. After that they gave birth to one of the child and child's name was entered in ration card but not in Arogya Shree card. This is september and till date child's name was not entered. This was not of much concern when hospital authorities accepted the case as the name was available in ration card. Hospital authorities accepted to treat and without any basic tests, hospital authorities asked these poor people to come after one month as child got cough and the season is not good. What a nice doctor, without any basic checks asking patients to come after a MONTH. I also heard that if anything happens and if patients complain about hospital, Government is going to stop payment to hospitals. I have not listened any successful arogya shree case except the one shown in TV ad.

Sincerely
---Tax Payee
