The Tote Pal Tale

Saturday, March 9th, 2013

Words enable worlds. This is a true story of how words can open up new perspective and possibilities.

Once a teenager on her way to her college exam was anxious and trembling with nervousness. She had her Tote Pal with the words  “Miracles come in Moments. Be Ready and Willing” along with her in which she carried her belongings. Just as she approached the gate, where her equally nervous friend was waiting for her, she needed to grab her notes from the bag. Her friend saw the quote on the bag and broke into a big smile. She pointed out and said “Hey! See what your bag has to say.” Both kids had a surge of confidence as they walked through the gate to enter the examination building.

 No doubt the girls had prepared well and had put in their 100% efforts towards their examinations. But every now and then people need that tad bit of encouragement to push them towards success.

The Tote Pal quotes are our 1% inspiration to your 99% perspiration. Just as in the case of the teenagers they have been there as a true Pal  for many people – inspiring them as they in turn use the Tote Pal to create a more sustainable world.

Pl choose to create a safer India

Friday, December 7th, 2012

TV some days feels like a horror movie . 3 days ago we saw the horrific case of a teenager Santosh Vichivora who was killed by a group of people who were passing lewd comments on his friend . A day later there was news from Amritsar about a police official being killed in broad daylight for protesting harassment to his daughter . Articles about women being attacked are almost staple in newspapers like the classifieds.
We need to reflect what kind of a nation are we becoming where women are being teased / molested / attacked in every state. And men who stand up to protest are being killed / harmed . Our heart goes out to these men and women and their loved ones for the trauma they go through . The course of lives irreversibly altered for petty reasons.
This is no more a problem ‘out there’. Fear or apathy is no longer a response we can afford. As we see with cases across India – the problem is not limited to any region or section of society.
While government , police and judiciary must do their roles with integrity and efficiency – this is sadly one of those complex issues where an efficient police , judiciary and government alone (or even together ) are insufficient to deal with the sheer scale of the problem. You and me – the citizens of this nation must come forward to never let another Santosh Vichivora die an untimely death.

How do we become a country where people’s honor and lives are respected ?

Pl share your thoughts . More importantly take action to create a safe India .

Remember Each one of us can make a difference . Together , we make CHANGE.

 

One Voice One India

A movement is gaining momentum all across India . People from all walks of life and across age groups are coming to support the creation of a Corruption Free India.

The government headed by the Prime Minister NEEDS to hear your message. Write in to the PMO – email , send letters by post or courier . This is a govt that chose to not reply to Anna Hazare. They need millions of letters to see the writing on the wall.

If you would like a Clean India pl choose to make a difference.

Japan – land of the brave

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011

Japan is a country close to our heart . We have several Japanese clients, business associates and friends. It’s amazing and inspiring to see how stoic and brave they are. Across companies we see the same message ‘We must now work to build the future of our country’. We see this in individuals of different age groups . Truly remarkable and admirable.

We wish the citizens of Japan strength , courage , peace and joy to overcome and triumph the many challenges they are faced with.
