इंदौर के कलेक्टर का इंदौर की जनता से वादा

हर वक्त लोगों की सुनूंगा, ये है जनता से एक कलेक्टर का वादा

नए कलेक्टर आकाश त्रिपाठी को इंदौर आए तकरीबन एक हफ्ता हो गया। उन्होंने अलग अलग मुद्दों पर अपनी प्रतिक्रिया दी-

 मंदिरों के रख-रखाव पर:
खजराना मेरी प्राथमिकता में है। अन्य मंदिरों का रखरखाव और सुधार किया जाएगा। कब्जे भी हटाए जाएंगे।

 पार्किग समस्या पर:
ये सही है इंदौर में पार्किग एक बड़ी समस्या है। हम मल्टीलेवल पार्किग की योजना को जल्द पूरा करेंगे। जहां जमीन अधिग्रहण में परेशानी है उन मामलों को भी जल्द निपटाने की कोशिश करेंगे। अभी बीआरटीएस के साथ पार्किग के दो प्लाट ही है। इसमें और भी नए प्लाट जोड़कर पार्किग स्पेस डेवलप करेंगे। शहर में अन्य स्थानों पर भी जहां भी शासकीय भूमि है वहां पार्किग बनाने की कोशिश करेंगे। पार्किग होने के बाद भी गाड़ी सड़क पर खड़ी करने वालों के कारण यातायात बाधित होता है उन पर भी सख्ती से कार्रवाई करेंगे। 

शहर में बिगड़ती कानून व्यवस्था पर: 
ला एंड आर्डर एक अलग चीज है और क्राइम अलग चीज है। ला एंड आर्डर में पुलिस और प्रशासन का समन्वय होता है। क्राइम कंट्रोल स्पेसीफिक पुलिस का कार्य है। इसका केवल एक भाग प्रिवेंटिव हमारी ओर से होता है। इसमें जिला बदर, रासुका और सीआरपीसी की धारा 107 से 110 तक का प्रयोग किया जाता है। ये इंदौर में सबसे ज्यादा हो रहा है। मौजूदा सिस्टम ब्रिटिश समय से चल रहा है और यह अच्छा भी है। कमिश्नरी राज्य शासन का निर्णय है। इस बारे में मैं कुछ नहीं कह सकता।

देखना एक दिन मैं बड़ा आदमी जरूर बनूंगा..

सुमित की कही ये बात याद कर माता-पिता बिलख पड़े जब उन्हें डॉक्टर ने सूचना दी कि अब उनका बेटा इस दुनिया में नहीं रहा। सुमित बचपन से महत्वाकांक्षी था। पढ़ाई में अव्वल रहने वाले बेटे से माता-पिता को बेहद उम्मीदें थी। उसकी सांसें टूटते ही उनकी उम्मीदें भी टूट गई।

हमेशा के लिए स्तुति से दूर चली गई आराधना

बैतूल। 23 डॉक्टरों की 12 घंटे की आराधना अधूरी रह गई। गुरुवार रात 9:20 बजे पाढर अस्पताल में आराधना की मौत हो गई। उसे दिन में दो बार दिल का दौरा भी पड़ा था। 20 जून को उसे और स्तुति को ऑपरेशन कर अलग किया गया था। दोनों जन्म से पेट से जुड़ी हुई थीं। अभी 2 जुलाई को ही दोनों ने पहला जन्मदिन मनाया था। स्तुति सेहतमंद है।

ऑपरेशन के बाद से ही आराधना की हालत नाजुक थी। बीच में हालत कुछ सुधरी। वेंटीलेटर से भी हटाया गया था। लेकिन सेप्टीसीमिया के कारण सेहत फिर बिगड़ गई। बुधवार को खून में संक्रमण की शिकायत आई थी। दोपहर 3 से 5 बजे के बीच दो बार कार्डियक अरेस्ट जैसी स्थिति बनी। डॉक्टरों ने भरसक कोशिश की, लेकिन सुधार नहीं हुआ। रात ९: 20 बजे अराधना ने दम तोड़ दिया।

एक साल तीन दिन के संघर्ष, आशा व निराशा की दास्तां
- 2 जुलाई 2011 को चिचोली ब्लॉक के चूड़िया गांव के हरिराम यादव की पत्नी माया ने एक-दूसरे से जुड़ी बेटियों को जन्म दिया।
-अस्पताल में प्रसव और बच्चों के 8 दिन के उपचार का बिल अधिक होने के कारण हरिराम 10 जुलाई को दोनों बेटियों को अस्पताल के भरोसे छोड़कर चला गया।
-11 जुलाई 2011 को मुख्यमंत्री शिवराजसिंह चौहान ने खर्च की जिम्मेदारी लेने की घोषणा की। इसके बाद पाढर अस्पताल प्रबंधन ने भी इलाज के लिए तैयारी शुरू कर दी।
-20 जून 2012 को स्तुति और आराधना का देश और विदेश के विशेषज्ञ डॉक्टरों ने 10 घंटे में सफल ऑपरेशन किया।
-21 जून को ऑपरेशन के बाद 72 घंटों के लिए दोनों बहनों को पीआईसीयू में रखा गया।
-स्तुति तो तंदुरुस्त रही लेकिन आराधना की स्थिति नाजुक बनी रही।
-पहले बुखार, सेप्टिसीमिया की बीमारी और 5 जुलाई को कार्डियक अरेस्ट होने के बाद उसने रात 9.20 बजे आखिरी सांसें ली।

Why Public & Media are crazy to have a glimpse of Aaradhya (a new born baby of Aishwarya Rai Bachhan)

Aishwarya Rai Bachhan, former Miss World of India and Bachhan family, since the birth of baby Aaradhya are trying to hide her from Public and Media. On the other hand, Public and Media are behaving crazy to have a glimpse of her looks. Might be they all want to first publish the photos and news related to Aaradhya on their Media to get all the credit of the show.

But before and after the birth of Aaradhya, several babies took birth to many celebrities, but Media was not that excited.

Is this the part of media created hype?

Is the Bachhan family doing justice with Public and Media who gave unconventional love to them across the years?

The birth of child is a great pleasure moment for any family, such moment should not be commercialized and these acts should be discouraged.

Tips for Getting Kids to Eat Vegetables

Everyone knows the benefits of eating enough vegetables, and we know that it’s much healthier if our children eat them too. Most parents have a tough time convincing their children to eat vegetables, much less just one serving a day. Most children need to have a minimum of two servings a day of vegetables and finding that creative way to get them to eat them is what we need to explore.

Fun With Vegetables
Coming up with some creative ideas of how to make eating vegetables fun can be fairly simple. Making a pizza is always fun for children. Have your children help you make that pizza and allow them to load it with colorful vegetables like green peppers, red tomatoes and black or green olives. They won’t even realize that what they are eating is so good for them! Making your spaghetti sauces with tomatoes and salsa is a great ways to add vegetables to their meal.

Hide Those Vegetables
Making your children’s favorite casserole dish and throwing in some vegetables is a good way to hide them without the children even knowing they are in the dish. Vegetable soups can be made with smaller sized vegetables and children rarely even consider this a vegetable at all! Blending up some vegetables in the blender and adding them secretly into a casserole is another good way to hide veggies from the children.

Cookbooks
Find some cookbooks that are designed for children. Often times they have great recipes that have ways of hiding vegetables in foods without being noticed by kids. Furthermore, the recipes might have stories or illustrations that your kids will enjoy, and they will likely make the ingredients (read: vegetables) more appealing or cool in their eyes.

Hungry Time
When kids are hungry they are going to eat. Choose a time close to meal time that the kids are hungry and serve them a nice colorful plate of veggies such as red and green bell peppers cut into strips, carrots that are sliced thin and some cut up yellow squash. Provide them with their favorite bowl of dips or salad dressing for them to eat with their veggies as an appetizer before meal time.

Be a positive role model for your children when it comes to eating vegetables. If the children see you eating something and enjoying it, they will want more themselves. Good eating habits are introduced at a young age and will stick with them as they grow older!

5 Ways of Making Performance Management More Inspiring

Performance management and inspiration might sound like a bit of an oxymoron, but I believe that making the process as fun and inspiring as possible is crucial, and will lead to effective performance management.  
In many workplaces, performance management has become an aspect of working life that is anticipated with dread and disdain. So, here are five ways to make the process more fun, more contemporary, and more productive.

Image: Biblio Archives
Simple Software
There are now excellent computer software packages designed to monitor and analyse performance management in simple, straightforward ways that are easy to use and interpret. Software such as Sonar6 allows you to set goals, plan career development, have more meaningful conversations and tracks your talent. The attractive look of the software also means that it won’t bore you to death.
Think Positive
It is a real shame that performance management has many employees donning their armour and drawing their shields. The best kind of performance management is that which, according to HR guru Helena Moore, leads people to ‘come out of it feeling more energised and positive.’
Be Nice!
Focusing on an individual’s achievements and skills is hugely beneficial, as they will come out of a meeting feeling that they are valued. If an employee particularly thrives in one area, then let that be their specialist area. Don’t try to squash people into boxes they simply don’t fit in to, as this will lead to a miserable working environment.
Integrate Social Media
Social media can offer a higher level of perspective on how staff are performing, and help them to see where their strengths lie as well as the areas where they might have missed the mark. Social media commenting can often be traced back to specific employees, making it a useful tool. Social feedback is currently more important than ever, and should not be ignored, as this is what potential customers and clients will refer to when they are deciding which company to go with.
Chats and Cuppas
Taking an employee aside for an appraisal when you have hardly spoken to them before is sure to make them feel nervous. Conversation and a fairly relaxed atmosphere with staff helps to encourage honesty and lower stress when it comes to appraisals and performance management. The other benefit is that if you know your staff then you will have a much better idea of what motivates them and what causes them to retreat. The key purpose of performance management is to make employees more effective, and if you know their personality type then this will be much easier.


Sophie McGovern writes for Vinehouse, an HR consultancy firm specialising in performance management. What is performance management? Sophie believes that it is all about encouraging staff to achieve their potential.

A thin line between life and death

When we bring them to our home, we were very happy. They were tiny rabbits, probably both female, although I asked the vendor to give us the pair.  My 11 year old kid, Pravar More was very excited, ultimately he got friends with whom he can play, can touch and love. 

 I was happy for him as he got the company and was relaxed that he wouldn’t feel lonely, being single child. Rabbits were lovely, small, white, gradually mingled with us, and were given names. Now all of us were in their duty, my husband since morning started serving them. He tried several types of plants leaves, grasses, and vegetables and without failing providing us regular feedbacks about their likes and dislikes. 

Rabbits, were choosy, they loved to taste different types of food and were not adhered to one type of taste. If they were hungry, they come to us to have some food. They stood erect and whipped their mouth with both the forehands was so innocent that make us crazy.  

But the unfortunate day 17^th April, 2012 reached. We started our day as usual. That day I came early from the office as we had to leave for Ujjain for some pending work. I put them into little basket, started journey by car. Everything went well. After completing our task we reached home in the night. 

Ah….trouble in expressing the next story in words. 

I got down, after my son from the car. He had Rabbit in his hand, His father instructed him to leave them for some time in the garden and stay there. He did. As others were following us, the door was opened. 

I went inside and not sure, why I called up my son, he entered into the room. Suddenly I heard creaching voice first time of the Rabbit. My heart throbbed out. I realized what blunder we did. We had left the poor rabbit in the garden. As we reached out the dogs had hold him in the jaws and rushed to door. My mother and I yelled. The dog left the Rabbit. I rushed to close the door, suddenly I saw 2 more dogs rushing after one anther towards rabbit. I couldn’t find place to save him, as both the dogs already reached to the rabbit and hold her brutally. My husband rushed listening our voice, he had beaten dog with the chair, placed in the garden, both the dogs ran leaving her. 

My husband brought him into the room, his hair was wet but no signs of blood. He put him on the floor, as the rabbit tried to walk, we found, he was dragging both the legs and stomach. . My son and I started crying. 

We thought he would survive and got ready to take him to the pet doc, but very soon, we discovered that he won't live. The rabbit had put his head down, rolled his eyes and started taking last breathe. We were left alone with the memories.

This is the second time, when I saw the creature meeting death. First was my own brother. 

I am dedicating my blog to him, with a feeling of guilt, please forgive us.

The Power of Owning your own Corporation

Finance From The Heavens

If you are the owner or CEO of a large corporation you are in a unique position to potentially become an angel investor. Angel financing describes predominantly individual investors who will place personal funds into a business as an investment, in return for an equity share or convertible debt in most instances. Although the term angel investor is used to describe individuals, there are growing trends for groups of investors and business to begin angel investing.
These methods have many favourable outcomes, as groups will often share different areas of expertise meaning they will have a greater pool of research and knowledge at their disposal, as well as the power of additional capital. This can greatly increase the prospects of both an investment into a business being successful as well as increasing the likely equity returns at the conclusion of the investment.
From a corporation point of view, such investments and angel financing initiatives can help to add value to both the investor business and the organisation or individual which has received the investment. Bringing an additional organisation into an umbrella group can have long term benefits all round.

Making The Most Of Angel Financing

Angel financing traditionally carries a very high risk factor, and with this in mind it is best to only look at prospective investments which are liable to carry a return of at least a factor of ten. The reason for seeking out such a high equity return is that there is potential for a lot of angel investments to end in a total loss, particularly when the funding has been placed into new start up businesses. The high returns yielded from successful investments means that those involved in angel financing remain profitable despite having a number of investments in businesses that have ultimately failed. With all of this balanced, angel investors can over time typically expect to achieve profits of between 20 and 30 per cent.

Timescales

For a tenfold return it is recommended that angel investors look for a clearly defined exit strategy within a business which allows them to make these returns within a five year period. There is however a growing trend within angel financing for investors to seek much higher returns, such as at twenty or even thirty times the initial level of investment to further counter balance unsuccessful investments, as well as increase overall returns. These higher yield investments are usually over a longer period, generally up to ten years.

Angel financing includes individual investors who place personal funds into a business as an investment, in return for an equity share or convertible debt.

3 Things Your Business Can Learn from Justin Bieber

He has tween girls in a frenzy. His name is spoken by radio shows, TV shows and blogs across the globe. Boys want to be him and girls want to marry him. He is Justin Bieber, and he is America's latest heartthrob.
Justin Bieber was a YouTube sensation that has now turned into a media frenzy. And whether you love him or hate him, this 18-year-old boy can teach us a few things about business.

1. Make yourself known.

Bieber started playing music and singing when he was a toddler. He taught himself how to dance and how to play numerous instruments. He had a desire to perform, and with YouTube at his fingertips, he started making videos of his talents for the public to see.
And the public saw. And the public loved. And eventually, this young boy was taken under the wings of Usher and has generated millions of fans and record sales in a short amount of time.
Your company has to do the same thing. If you want to get more business, you have to make a name for yourself and get yourself out there. Create a marketing plan, and start flaunting your products and services. Once people know who you are and what you do, they will be more inclined to learn more about your products and services.
2. You have to reach your target audience.

Justin Bieber's main demographic is girls from 8-15 years of age. He knows this, and his marketing team knows this, and they both cater to this demographic through what he wears, how he acts, what he sings and what events he attends.
Your company needs to also have a firm grasp on your target audience, too. Knowing who is most likely to purchase your products and services will allow you to create marketing tactics that will appeal to these specific individuals. If you can place the right marketing in front of the right people, you will see a significant increase in your sales.
3. Interact with your audience.

Like most celebrities, Bieber has a Twitter account and he uses this as a way to interact with his fans. While he may not respond to every tweet he receives directly, he does tweet about things he enjoys or places that he'll be as well as letting his fans know how much he appreciates them.
Your company needs to also engage and interact with your customers. Create social media accounts as a way to become more personal with your customers and make sure to attend community events. Get to know your customers. See what interests them, and you can use it to tailor your marketing tactics effectively.
At such a young age, Justin Bieber has it all. He has the money, the charm, the talent, the good looks, and he knows how to market himself. Your company can learn a thing or two from him, and while you may not put teenage girls in a frenzy, you can still become more successful.
