Poonam Kasturi ...Compost Wali....Daily Dump

Poonam Kasturi calls herself Compost Wali. On a unique mission, she wants ordinary Indians to feel empowered, make a 'clean' difference to the society, by converting waste into useful compost in a simple and cost effective manner.

Her organic business venture Daily Dump offers different types of composters that convert the waste generated in one's  kitchen into compost. If the customers do not require the compost, it can be sold back to Daily Dump.http://www.dailydump.org/about/team

What began as a small venture with family members and potters, three years ago, Daily dump is set to treble its turnover to Rs 36,00,000 (Rs 3.6 million) this year. Today, the company has about 4,500 dedicated customers in Bangalore who use the profitable composters.

The response has been encouraging and the company has steadily grown over the past 3 years. In the first year, Daily Dump made a turnover of Rs 200,000, which increased to 12,00,000 (Rs 1.2 million) last year.

Poonam says home waste generated in one's kitchen is 50-70 per cent organic, but urban India has still not found an effective way to dispose this waste, which can actually be churned back into the system by converting it into useful organic manure.

Human relations movement...Dale Carnegie

Dale Carnegie is often overlooked by management scholars, but his ideas and teachings have had an enormous effect on management practice. His book How to Win Friends and Influence People was read by millions in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. In addition, during this same period, thousands of managers and aspiring managers attended his management speeches and seminars. What was the theme of Carnegie's book and lectures?

 

Essentially, he said that the way to succeed was to

 

 (1) make others feel, important through a sincere appreciation of their efforts;

(2) make a good first impression;

(3) win people over to your way of thinking by letting others do the talking, being sympathetic and never telling a man he is wrong and

(4) change people by praising good traits and giving the offender the opportunity to save face.

Indian Railway Ticket Reservation through Internet (e ticket) in Tatkal, how to get a confirmed ticket

Indian Railway Ticket Reservation through Internet (e ticket) in Tatkal, how to get a confirmed e ticket..... i thought I am very smart, but the ticket agents are smarter and faster....he he he

I have to reserve a train ticket in Dibrugarh Rajdhani through Internet (e ticket) in Tatkal to Guwahati for 27.10.09. I thought I am smart enough to book it at exactly 8 AM today ( it can be booked only after 8 A.M. on 25.10.09. two days prior to departure 27.10.09.). I even know the train number 2424 beforehand, but till the time I filled all the details , the TATKAL tickets are already gone, I got a CKWL12 ticket.PNR NO: 2165691049

When you dont get normal train tickets to Guwahati, and when despite having internet facility at home and still you dont get a confirmed TATKAL ticket also within ten minutes of opening of TATKAL , how can you manage it. I am scratching my (already Bald) Head.
