#StrikeCalender


If you go out from home with some work, and find out on getting there that there is a strike in the department etc, it not only irritates you, wastes your time but also spoils the day. The past history of Lucknow shows that some departments go on strike on a regular basis.

                      
GREECE had a  STRIKE CALENDAR this year from 10 to 14 Sept 2012 as given below …..
TEI -technical university – teachers: 5-day strike, Sept 10-14/2012
University and TEI professors: 48-hour strike, Sept 10-11/2012
School teachers (elementary & secondary) public and private schools: 24-hour strike      Sept 12/2012, one day after the schools opening
Public Sector union ADEDY: work stoppage after 12 o’ clock noon, Sept 12/2012
State hospital doctors: 24-hour strike, Sept 12/2012
Tax officers: 4-hour work stoppage, Sept 13/2012
Fuel Stations: Crete: 48-hour strike, Sept 10-11/2012
Municipalities: 48-hour strike, Sept 12-13/2012 (source: apergia.gr)
On Sept 12/2012, members of the Greek Armed Forces were called by their organisations to join a protest rally at 4:30 pm in Kolokotroni Square, near the Parliament.
Their reasons may be different and special to their country, but the idea of having a strike calendar is good.

Since the year is near ending and every department is busy in finalizing its list of holidays for the next year, it would be a good idea to have an advance list of strike dates, known publically so that it causes least inconvenience to everyone; they can have the strike days along with Sundays and holidays for maximum benefits.

The list of departments of various cities benefitting most by this arrangement could be …

1. Medical College junior doctors … 4 days per year
2. Paramedical staff of hospitals… 2 days per year
3. Advocates of various courts … 2 days per year
4. Bus conductors and drivers … 2 days per year
5. Bank employees … 1 day in the year
6. Auto and Tempo drivers … 1 day in the year
7. Development Authority employees … 1 day in the year
8. Electricity supply employees …1 day in the year
9. Municipal Corporation employees … 1 day in the year
Etc., etc..

                                     

          Some departments may not be in the above list, but it is un-intentional. They can join in as there is still sufficient time. This arrangement no doubt shall be of mutual benefit to everyone.

  Let us consider a couple of scenarios, which all of us have encountered sometime. ========== Me : “ You see, the situation is like …” The Other person : “Wait, I shall tell you what it’s like. The thing is …”. And he goes on to explain the same thing as I had started to tell. The message immediately implies that what I was going to say was incomplete info, and what the “Other Person” has said is clearer. ========== I post some interesting thing in a social media group. The Other Person , a group member, immediately posts several links about it from Google, Wikipedia; plus copy paste from some news site or News article, which tells exactly the same thing as I said. Here also the message immediately implies that what I posted was incomplete info, and what they posted is making it clearer.

INDIAN RESTAURANTS ABROAD

                 Indian cuisine is liked the world over and to cater to the hungry people,   restaurants with Indian sounding names have sprung up all over, even in remote corners where you least expect them. Foreign nationals unless they have been to India or dined at an Indian’s home, hardly know the correct taste of Indian dishes. They do not know any better. This is where the con takes place, with various non-Indians taking   advantage and dishing   out rubbish to unsuspecting foreigners; giving a bad name to Indian food in the bargain. The scam comes to light when   Indians travelling abroad or newly gone to reside there   become homesick for Indian food see a restaurant proclaiming itself as serving ‘Indian food’, visit these ‘Indian’ restaurants   in their outings,   to enjoy the dishes offered. In nearly every case, the food served there does not meet their expectations, and later on they find out that the owners are either Bangladeshi or Pakistani masquerading as ‘Indi

Towel on the Chair Back

TOWEL on the CHAIR BACK All of us, some time or the other, have had to meet a government officer in his office. One thing we would definitely have not missed noticing, whether the officer is present in the room or away. It could be the Finance, Police, PWD, Electricity, Secretariat or any other. It can be seen across all departments of the government, regardless of their intense rivalry with each other, or contrasting nature of work. What is it ?   It is a white towel spread neatly on the officer’s chair back. Why do they keep it that way ? Here are some answers from Social Media … The most common explanation is, its because of the sweat. Historically AC has not been common in Indian government offices despite the very hot and humid weather. Sitting on an office chair, your back will sweat and the sweat will get into the upholstery of the backrest, and gradually it will start smelling. Placing a towel soaks up the sweat to some extent and prevents this from happening
