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

demand from steel industry worldwide has been an important factor for the encouraging 

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

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

and demand do and will fluctuate. Further integration to coal mining and expansion of electricity 

generation is now pursued expeditiously for adequate fundamental strength.

Reginald's New Diet 

Reginald was terribly overweight, so his doctor placed him on 

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

skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next 

time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds, 'his doctor 

assured him. When Reginald returned he shocked his doctor 

by having lost almost twenty pounds. 'Why, that's amazing, the 

doctor said, greatly impressed, 'You certainly must have 

followed my instructions.' 

Reginald nodded, 'I'll tell you what though, I thought I was 

going to drop dead on the third day.' 

'Why, from hunger?' asked his doctor. 

'No, from all that skipping.' 


The story of a blind girl 


There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she’s blind. She 

hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He’s always there for 

her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry 

her boyfriend. 

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she can 

see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, 

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

shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to 

marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a 

letter to her saying. “Just take care of my eyes dear.” 

This is how human brain changes when the status changed. 

Only few remember what life was before, and who’s always been 

there even in the most painful situations. 

Life is A Gift. 

Today before you think of saying an unkind word – Think of 

someone who can’t speak. 

Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of 

someone who has nothing to eat. 

Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of 

someone ho’s crying out for a companion. 

Today before you complain about life – Think of someone who went 

too early to heaven/hell. 

Before you complain about your children – Think of someone who 

desires children but they’re barren. 

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or 

sweep – Think of the people who are living in the streets. 

Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone 

who walks the same distance with their feet. 

And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the 

unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job. 

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another – 

Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to 

one maker. 

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile 

on your face and thank — you’re alive and still around 

Life is a gift – Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, And Fulfill it.

The Office 


Hard work spotlights the character of people; some turn up 

their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn 

up at all! 

I always try to go the extra mile at work, but my boss always 

finds me and brings me back. 

The world is full of willing people -- some willing to work and 

some willing to let them. - Robert Frost 

Warning: Dates in Calendar are closer than they appear. 

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

You are disturbing others who are trying to sleep. 

- Dr. C. Rao, UW-Whitewater 

A morning without tea is like something without something 

else. 

Hard work never killed anyone, but why give it a chance? 

Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday. 

Two kinds of people: Those who finish what they start and... 

Work fascinates most, they can look at it for hours! 

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

X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut. 

- Albert Einstein 

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. 

If you're good you'll get assigned all the work. If you're 

REALLY good you will get out of it.* 

The Priest & The Mayor 

After 25 years in the same town, Father O' Shaunessey was 

saying his farewells at his retirement dinner. The mayor of the 

town had been asked to make a presentation and a short 

speech, but was late arriving. So the priest took it upon 

himself to fill the time, and stood up to the microphone: 

"I remember the first confession I heard here twenty-five 

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

to... That first confession remains the worst I've ever heard. 

The chap confessed that he'd stolen a TV set from a 

neighbour and lied to the police when questioned, successfully 

blaming it on a local scallywag. He said that he'd stolen money 

from his parents and from his employer; that he'd had an affair 

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

slept with a nun of this church and given her VD. You can 

imagine what I thought... However I'm pleased to say that as 

the days passed I soon realised that this sad fellow was a 

frightful exception and that this town was indeed a wonderful 

place full of kind and decent people..." 

At this point the Mayor arrived and apologized for being late, 

and keen to take the stage, he immediately stepped up to the 

microphone and pulled his speech from his pocket: 

"I'll always remember when Father O' Shaunessey first came 

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

was the first person that he heard in confession.." 

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble 

bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell 

the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the 

fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

Secret Behind Happy Married Life 

Once X asked Y, "What is the secret behind your happy married 

life?" Y said, "You should share responsibilities with due love and 

respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems." 

X asked, "Can you explain?" 

Y said, "In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my 

wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each others 

decisions." 

Still not convinced, X asked Y "Give me some examples" 

Y said, "Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much 

amount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air 

conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep 

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

X asked, "Then what is your role?" 

Y said, "My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether 

America should attack Iraq, whether Britain should lift sanction over 

Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Tiger 

Woods should be pardoned by his wife etc. Do you know one thing, 

my wife NEVER objects to any of these". 

GOD IS NO WHERE 

We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and 

promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, 

disappointing or annoying when we can look around us, and 

see the wondrous things before us! 

This can be read as "GOD IS NO WHERE" or as "GOD IS 

NOW HERE" everything depends on how you see it. All 

successful people have one thing in common: Positive thinking 

and passion for what they are doing! 

Norman Vincent Peale, the famous author of "The Power of 

Positive Thinking" once told this story. 

A man once telephoned Norman Vincent Peale. He was 

despondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left to 

live for. Norman Vincent Peale invited the man over to his 

office. "Everything is gone, hopeless," the man told him. "I'm 

living in deepest darkness. In fact, I've lost heart for living 

altogether." Norman Vincent Peale smiled sympathetically. 

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

of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. He 

suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had 

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

that column on the right side," said the man sadly. "I have 

nothing left, period." Norman Vincent Peale asked, "When did 

your wife leave you?" 

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

"That's great!" said Norman Vincent Peale enthusiastically. 

"Then that will be number one in the right-hand column - 

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

silly. My children are always with me !" "Good! That's number 

two in the right-hand column - Children not in jail," said 

Norman Vincent Peale, jotting it down. 

After a few more questions in the same vein, the man finally 

got the point and smiled in spite of himself. "Funny, how things 

change when you think of them that way," he said. 

Motivational Quote: "Be sure that you appreciate everything 

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

a lot." 

Inspirational Quote: "It is not what you have but it is how you 

think has a profound effect on your life."

Several men were in a golf club locker room. A mobile 

phone rings. 

"Yes I can talk," says the man answering the call, 

"You're shopping are you? That's nice." The listening 

men smile to each other. 

"You want to order those new carpets? Okay.. And 

they'll include the curtains for an extra five thousand?.. 

Sure, why not?" 

More smiles among the listeners. 

"You want to book that week on Necker Island?.. 

They're holding the price at twenty-two thousand?.. 

Sounds a bargain.. You want a fortnight?.. If that's 

what you want honey, okay by me." 

Smiles turn to expressions of mild envy. 

"And you want to give the builder the go-ahead for 

the new conservatory? Seventy-five thousand if we 

say yes today? Sounds fair.. sure, that's fine." 

The listeners exchange glances of amazement. 

"Okay sugar, see you later.. Yes, love you too," says the 

man, ending the call. 

He looks at the other men and says, "Whose phone is 

this anyhow?.." 

"When you ASSUME you make

Walking on water 

Three monks decided to practice meditation together. they 

sat by the side of a lake and closed their eyes in 

concentration. Then suddenly, the first one stood up and said, 

"I forgot my mat." He steeped miraculously onto the water in 

front of him and walked across the lake to their hut on the 

other side. 

When he returned, the second monk stood up and said, "I 

forgot to put my the other underwear to dry." He too walked 

calmly across the water and returned the same way. The third 

monk watched the first two carefully in what he decided must 

be the test of his own abilities. "Is your learning so superior to 

mine? I too can match any feat you two can perform," he 

declared loudly and rushed to the water's edge to walk across 

it. He promptly fell into the deep water. 

Undeterred, the yogi climbed out of the water and tried again, 

only to sink into the water. Yet again he climbed out and yet 

again he tried, each time sinking into the water. This went on 

for some time as the other two monks watched. 

After a while, the second monk turned to the first and said, 

"Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?" 

Let us take a pledge for a solid Team Work to stay afloat.
