Story of Metro Man E. Sreedharan

There are some builders who need to get everything right in the first go. They cannot fail for on them rests millions of hopes. They are the class of nation builders. One such great builder of modern India is the Metro Man E. Sreedharan.

 After graduating from college, Sreedharan started preparing for Indian Railway Service Examination (IRSE) while supporting himself as a college lecturer.

With in a year results were out. Sreedharan had secured an all India IRES rank of 7th. Sreedharan rose quickly in Railways
to become the youngest divisional manager at the age of 26 years. G. P. Warrier, a stalwart in Railways, recognized the spark in Sreedharan and gave him early opportunities to work on Pampan Bridge and later on Calcutta metro project.
Pampan Bridge, an engineering marvel built by Britishers in 1914, connects the holy town of Rameshwaram to mainland India. The bridge suffered severe damages in the cyclone of 1964. Sreedharan was given an impossible task to make the bridge operational in 3 months. Cyclone had
washed all 126 girders. Sreedharan’s out of box thinking and his early tryst with Port Engineering came to his rescue. He fished all 126 girders from the sea using specially crafted cranes and skilled laborers finishing the repair project in record time.
Sreedharan soon found himself on deputation to Cochin Shipyards as its CMD where he rolled out India’s first indigenously built ship Rani Padmini. He joined back Railways finally retiring in 1990.
After a long years of service, when it was time for Sreedharan to take the well deserved break, he was appointed as CMD of Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL).
Konkan Railways run through four states of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka and Kerala.The treacherous railway line of 760km has 92 tunnels and 2000+ bridges reducing the distance between Mumbai and Mangalore by 1,127 km.
It was Sreedharan’s Project Management skills and his relentless resolve which which made it possible for KRCL to deliver a project of this scale within record time of 7 years. KRCL has been operationally profitable from day one
METRO

After dedicating KRCL to the nation, Sreedharan got another call of duty. Governments in Delhi could trust no one but Sreedharan to fulfill the dreams of giving Delhi and the surrounding capital region a modern transport system. Sreedharan was appointed as head of Delhi
Metro Rail Corporation in May 1995. Unlike the no man’s land of Konkan, Delhi Metro was to be built through densely populated areas of the capital city.

Against a stipulated timeline of 7 years, first phase of Delhi Metro was ready in just 5 years.
Delhi Metro has done wonders for Delhi NCR region. Its more than 200km long metro line is connecting far flung areas providing one of the cheapest, fastest and pollution free modes of transport. As of Mar 2017, Delhi Metro’s ridership had touched 1 Billion commutes a year.
After completion of the second phase, Sreedharan decided to call it a day. He handed over the reign to his team and moved back to his home town. Now over 85yrs year old, Sreedharan counsels Kochi Metro Rail Limited as its Principal Advisor
Sreedharan’s inspirational biography is a story of a relentless Karmayogi who built two institutions DMRC and KRCL from the ground up and delivered world class products to millions of Indians at an affordable price. Winners of multiple prestigious awards,
Sreedharan will always occupy a special place in the hearts of Indians as one of the greatest builders of modern India!

LESSER KNOWN PEOPLE OF INDIA - PART -2

#WomenDay2021 special

Posted in Bastar, Usha Kiran Is the First Woman Officer of the Elite Commando Force Cobra!

Don't forget to follow me @AKASHBH95801446


She Is The First Woman Officer From All Armed/Central Forces To Be Deployed In Counter Insurgency/Combat Operations.

She is the youngest female CRPF officer to be a part of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (COBRA) and is currently serving the volatile region of Bastar

Usha is a third generation CRPF officer after her grandfather and father, so the passion for the forces naturally developed in her. “Getting into CoBRA was definitely my choice. I had this wish during my basic training at CRPF Academy Kadarpur Gurugram.

But it was an all male force at that time and no woman ever joined CoBRA,” she recalls, adding, “Soon after passing out of the Academy, I first decided to work in Chhattisgarh, and was fortunate enough to get a chance to serve in the Bastar region. During my year there,

I gained knowledge and confidence about CRPF’s counter insurgency operations and also got to practically know about the functioning of CoBRA. That’s when I decided to join the elite commando force,” says the former national athlete, who represented Delhi in triple jump.

HOW SUNDAY HOLIDAY STARTED IN INDIA

When India was under the British rule, the mill workers in India had to work hard for all seven days of a week. They didn’t get any holiday or any kind of leave to get rest.

1/


The British officials and workers would go to church every sunday and offer their prayers while there was no such tradition for the Indian mill workers.

2/

At the point of time, Narayan Meghaji Lokhande was the leader of the mill workers, he presented a proposal of a weekly holiday in front of the Britishers. He said, “After working hard for six days, the workers should get a day to serve their country and society.

3/

Sunday is the day of the Hindu deity ‘Khandoba’. Hence Sunday should be declared as a holiday”. But the British officials rejected his proposal.

Lokhande didn’t accept the defeat, he continued his struggle.

4/

After a 7-year long struggle, on 10th June 1890, British Government declared sunday as a holiday. What’s surprising is that Indian government never issued any orders regarding this holiday.

EXPLANATION OF THE EXISTENCE OF DARK MATTER AND DARK ENERGY !

What Is Dark Energy ?

More is unknown than is known. We know how much dark energy there is because we know how it affects the universe's expansion. Other than that, it is a complete mystery.

But it is an important mystery. It turns out that roughly 68% of the universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 27%. The rest - everything on Earth, everything ever observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5% of the universe.

This diagram reveals changes in the rate of expansion since the universe's birth 15 billion years ago. The more shallow the curve, the faster the rate of expansion. The curve changes noticeably about 7.5 billion years ago, when objects in the universe began flying apart as


a faster rate. Astronomers theorize that the faster expansion rate is due to a mysterious, dark force that is pulling galaxies apart.

WHAT OUR SANATAN DHARMA SAYS IN THIS CONTEXT LET’S TAKE A LOOK

The verses of Taittiriya Aranyaka say that only one pada of the Lord

is this manifested universe and the remaining three padas are outside it.

According to the observations and realizations of ancient seers, nearly eighty percent of this universe is yet of unknown nature which remains inactive during the process of creation (rather, evolution).

YAGYOPAVEET - A FORM OF GAYATRI

Yagyopaveet ( wearing the sacred thread ) symbolises, in itself the realisation of the supreme truth behind the Gayatri Philosophy.


Gayatri mantra has 9 words, 3 Charans, 3 Vyahiritis and one Omkar so has the Yagyopaveet for it possesses 9 sutras, 3 threads, 3 knots and one supreme knot - the Brahma-Granthi . Since the Yagyopaveet lies over one's shoulders, chest, abdomen and back .

This signifies Divine control over shoulders, which undertake the heaviest responsibilities of life, over the heart which is supposed to be representing idealisms & emotions, over the abdomen where dwells the valour of a man and over the back, which represents alertness and

vigour . Thus, the influences that Gayatri excercises through Yagyopaveet on the total personality & endeavours of a man are never forgotten during entire life .

DO U KNOW THE STORY BEHIND "Sunday ho ya Monday, Roz khao ande" ?

Back in the 1980s, poultry farmers were facing 2 major issues: Firstly, the demand for eggs in the predominantly vegetarian nation was very low.

1/12


Secondly, there was a strong mafia of egg-dealers throughout the nation who decided procurement prices which were against farmers' interests. This way, the dealers & middlemen made huge profits, while the helpless & exploited farmers could consider themselves lucky

if they could manage to recover their cost price.

That's when Dr BV Rao, who was inspired by Dr Kurien's (founder of AMUL) cooperative model for milk revolution, took up the mammoth task of motivating all the poultry farmers to unite & form egg cooperative model

which could stand up against the high-handedness of the dealer-mafia. As the efforts culminated into a nation-wide movement, Dr BV Rao was finally able to establish the cooperative model in 1982 which could coordinate between farmer groups, and was aptly named

"National Egg Coordination Committee (NECC)".

Thus, the problem of farmer exploitation was solved, but the next challenge was to increase egg consumption. In a bid to encourage more Indians to incorporate eggs in their diet,

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

This is a pretty valiant attempt to defend the "Feminist Glaciology" article, which says conventional wisdom is wrong, and this is a solid piece of scholarship. I'll beg to differ, because I think Jeffery, here, is confusing scholarship with "saying things that seem right".


The article is, at heart, deeply weird, even essentialist. Here, for example, is the claim that proposing climate engineering is a "man" thing. Also a "man" thing: attempting to get distance from a topic, approaching it in a disinterested fashion.


Also a "man" thing—physical courage. (I guess, not quite: physical courage "co-constitutes" masculinist glaciology along with nationalism and colonialism.)


There's criticism of a New York Times article that talks about glaciology adventures, which makes a similar point.


At the heart of this chunk is the claim that glaciology excludes women because of a narrative of scientific objectivity and physical adventure. This is a strong claim! It's not enough to say, hey, sure, sounds good. Is it true?

One thing that goes unremarked about Wikipedia: the vast majority of the content was written over 12 years ago—which means (given turnover) that the editors dominant today were not directly involved in that creation.

Put another way, the editors who built the dominant nodes in this network...


...have little overlap with the ones who made this much more recent managerial flowchart.


Internet time runs at hundred-fold speed—the difference between the people who painted what's in the Uffizi, and the people in charge of keeping those paintings from deteriorating. Very different tasks, and (one presumes) very personalities as well. @PaulSkallas?

Latest update from @TheBernician

1/19

Hancock, Whitty, Vallance & Ferguson Stand Accused of Pandemic Fraud.

After yet more damning evidence arose last week, further additions had to be made to the court papers, which we are now aiming to lay in the coming week.

2/19

The four defendants will be Matt Hancock, Chris Whitty, Patrick Vallance and Neil Ferguson, each of whom has inextricable and ultimately incriminating connections with Bill Gates and Big Pharma.

3/19

As well as three counts of fraud by false representation and seven counts of fraud by non-disclosure, under sections 2 and 3 of the Fraud Act 2006, we can now also prove that the entire worldwide scamdemic originated on these shores.

4/19

In fact, we can show that, without the dishonest statements and non-disclosures of the four defendants we are initially proceeding against, COVID-1984 would not have transpired.

5/19

Furthermore, the 1st defendant, Matt Hancock, cannot rely upon the defence of Parliamentary Privilege, on the ground that none of the evidence relied upon by the prosecution is capable of preventing parliamentarians from carrying out their lawful business in Parliament.
