The financial year 2006-07 has ended on a positive note, financially and operationally. Strong<br />

demand from steel industry worldwide has been an important factor for the encouraging<br />

results. However, optimum use of key resources like chrome ore and electricity has been our<br />

objective, to keep costs under control. We need to achieve longterm viability, as market prices<br />

and demand do and will fluctuate. Further integration to coal mining and expansion of electricity<br />

generation is now pursued expeditiously for adequate fundamental strength.<br />

Reginald's New Diet<br />

Reginald was terribly overweight, so his doctor placed him on<br />

a strict diet. 'I want you to eat regularly for two days, then<br />

skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next<br />

time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds, 'his doctor<br />

assured him. When Reginald returned he shocked his doctor<br />

by having lost almost twenty pounds. 'Why, that's amazing, the<br />

doctor said, greatly impressed, 'You certainly must have<br />

followed my instructions.'<br />

Reginald nodded, 'I'll tell you what though, I thought I was<br />

going to drop dead on the third day.'<br />

'Why, from hunger?' asked his doctor.<br />

'No, from all that skipping.'<br />

The story of a blind girl<br />

<strong>alankar</strong><br />

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she’s blind. She<br />

hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He’s always there for<br />

her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry<br />

her boyfriend.<br />

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can<br />

see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her,<br />

“now that you can see the world, will you marry me?” The girl was<br />

shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to<br />

marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a<br />

letter to her saying. “Just take care of my eyes dear.”<br />

This is how human brain changes when the status changed.<br />

Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been<br />

there even in the most painful situations.<br />

Life is A Gift.<br />

Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of<br />

someone who can’t speak.<br />

Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of<br />

someone who has nothing to eat.<br />

Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of<br />

someone ho’s crying out for a companion.<br />

Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went<br />

too early to heaven/hell.<br />

Before you complain about your children – Think of someone who<br />

desires children but they’re barren.<br />

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or<br />

sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets.<br />

Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone<br />

who walks the same distance with their feet.<br />

And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the<br />

unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.<br />

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another –<br />

Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to<br />

one maker.<br />

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile<br />

on your face and thank — you’re alive and still around<br />

Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it.<br />

CORPORATION & COWS<br />

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You<br />

redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary<br />

cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a<br />

clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it<br />

worldwide.<br />

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You reengineer<br />

them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month,<br />

and milk themselves.<br />

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 2 cows. None of them<br />

belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.<br />

A CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have<br />

300 people milking them. You claim that you have full<br />

employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the<br />

newsman who reported the real situation.<br />

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You<br />

worship them.<br />

A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are<br />

mad.<br />

A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION: You have two cows<br />

The Office<br />

<strong>alankar</strong><br />

Hard work spotlights the character of people; some turn up<br />

their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn<br />

up at all!<br />

I always try to go the extra mile at work, but my boss always<br />

finds me and brings me back.<br />

The world is full of willing people -- some willing to work and<br />

some willing to let them. - Robert Frost<br />

Warning: Dates in Calendar are closer than they appear.<br />

I don't mind if you sleep in office. Only, please do not snore.<br />

You are disturbing others who are trying to sleep.<br />

- Dr. C. Rao, UW-Whitewater<br />

A morning without tea is like something without something<br />

else.<br />

Hard work never killed anyone, but why give it a chance?<br />

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.<br />

Two kinds of people: Those who finish what they start and...<br />

Work fascinates most, they can look at it for hours!<br />

If 'A' equals success, then the formula is A = X + Y + Z.<br />

X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.<br />

- Albert Einstein<br />

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.<br />

If you're good you'll get assigned all the work. If you're<br />

REALLY good you will get out of it.*<br />

The Priest & The Mayor<br />

After 25 years in the same town, Father O' Shaunessey was<br />

saying his farewells at his retirement dinner. The mayor of the<br />

town had been asked to make a presentation and a short<br />

speech, but was late arriving. So the priest took it upon<br />

himself to fill the time, and stood up to the microphone:<br />

"I remember the first confession I heard here twenty-five<br />

years ago and it worried me as to what sort of place I'd come<br />

to... That first confession remains the worst I've ever heard.<br />

The chap confessed that he'd stolen a TV set from a<br />

neighbour and lied to the police when questioned, successfully<br />

blaming it on a local scallywag. He said that he'd stolen money<br />

from his parents and from his employer; that he'd had an affair<br />

with his best friends' wife; that he'd taken hard drugs, and had<br />

slept with a nun of this church and given her VD. You can<br />

imagine what I thought... However I'm pleased to say that as<br />

the days passed I soon realised that this sad fellow was a<br />

frightful exception and that this town was indeed a wonderful<br />

place full of kind and decent people..."<br />

At this point the Mayor arrived and apologized for being late,<br />

and keen to take the stage, he immediately stepped up to the<br />

microphone and pulled his speech from his pocket:<br />

"I'll always remember when Father O' Shaunessey first came<br />

to our town," said the Mayor, "In fact, I'm pretty certain that I<br />

was the first person that he heard in confession.."<br />

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble<br />

bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell<br />

the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the<br />

fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

Secret Behind Happy Married Life<br />

Once X asked Y, "What is the secret behind your happy married<br />

life?" Y said, "You should share responsibilities with due love and<br />

respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems."<br />

X asked, "Can you explain?"<br />

Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my<br />

wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each others<br />

decisions."<br />

Still not convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples"<br />

Y said, "Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much<br />

amount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air<br />

conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep<br />

a maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it"<br />

X asked, "Then what is your role?"<br />

Y said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether<br />

America should attack Iraq, whether Britain should lift sanction over<br />

Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Tiger<br />

Woods should be pardoned by his wife etc. Do you know one thing,<br />

my wife NEVER objects to any of these".<br />

GOD IS NO WHERE<br />

We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and<br />

promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad,<br />

disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and<br />

see the wondrous things before us!<br />

This can be read as "GOD IS NO WHERE" or as "GOD IS<br />

NOW HERE" everything depends on how you see it. All<br />

successful people have one thing in common: Positive thinking<br />

and passion for what they are doing!<br />

Norman Vincent Peale, the famous author of "The Power of<br />

Positive Thinking" once told this story.<br />

A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He was<br />

despondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left to<br />

live for. Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to his<br />

office. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'm<br />

living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living<br />

altogether." Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically.<br />

"Let's take a look at your situation," he said calmly. On a sheet<br />

of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. He<br />

suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had<br />

lost, and on the right, the things he had left. "You won't need<br />

that column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I have<br />

nothing left, period." Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When did<br />

your wife leave you?"<br />

"What do you mean? She hasn't left me. My wife loves me!"<br />

"That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically.<br />

"Then that will be number one in the right-hand column -<br />

Wife hasn't left. Now, why your children left you?" "That's<br />

silly. My children are always with me !" "Good! That's number<br />

two in the right-hand column - Children not in jail," said<br />

Norman Vincent Peale, jotting it down.<br />

After a few more questions in the same vein, the man finally<br />

got the point and smiled in spite of himself. "Funny, how things<br />

change when you think of them that way," he said.<br />

Motivational Quote: "Be sure that you appreciate everything<br />

you've got; and be thankful for the little things in life that mean<br />

a lot."<br />

Inspirational Quote: "It is not what you have but it is how you<br />

think has a profound effect on your life."

MOBILE CONVERSATION<br />

Several men were in a golf club locker room. A mobile<br />

phone rings.<br />

"Yes I can talk," says the man answering the call,<br />

"You're shopping are you? That's nice." The listening<br />

men smile to each other.<br />

"You want to order those new carpets? Okay.. And<br />

they'll include the curtains for an extra five thousand?..<br />

Sure, why not?"<br />

More smiles among the listeners.<br />

"You want to book that week on Necker Island?..<br />

They're holding the price at twenty-two thousand?..<br />

Sounds a bargain.. You want a fortnight?.. If that's<br />

what you want honey, okay by me."<br />

Smiles turn to expressions of mild envy.<br />

"And you want to give the builder the go-ahead for<br />

the new conservatory? Seventy-five thousand if we<br />

say yes today? Sounds fair.. sure, that's fine."<br />

The listeners exchange glances of amazement.<br />

"Okay sugar, see you later.. Yes, love you too," says the<br />

man, ending the call.<br />

He looks at the other men and says, "Whose phone is<br />

this anyhow?.."<br />

"When you ASSUME you make<br />

an ASS out of U and Me."

Walking on water<br />

Three monks decided to practice meditation together. they<br />

sat by the side of a lake and closed their eyes in<br />

concentration. Then suddenly, the first one stood up and said,<br />

"I forgot my mat." He steeped miraculously onto the water in<br />

front of him and walked across the lake to their hut on the<br />

other side.<br />

When he returned, the second monk stood up and said, "I<br />

forgot to put my the other underwear to dry." He too walked<br />

calmly across the water and returned the same way. The third<br />

monk watched the first two carefully in what he decided must<br />

be the test of his own abilities. "Is your learning so superior to<br />

mine? I too can match any feat you two can perform," he<br />

declared loudly and rushed to the water's edge to walk across<br />

it. He promptly fell into the deep water.<br />

Undeterred, the yogi climbed out of the water and tried again,<br />

only to sink into the water. Yet again he climbed out and yet<br />

again he tried, each time sinking into the water. This went on<br />

for some time as the other two monks watched.<br />

After a while, the second monk turned to the first and said,<br />

"Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?"<br />

Let us take a pledge for a solid Team Work to stay afloat.<br />
