MESSAGE FROM THE DESK
Dear Readers,
The first half of the financial year 2011-12 has just got over and we are bang on business
targets. As the proverb goes, “Well begun is half done” and I am sure the other half shall
also be surpassing the set targets. The activities in these months portray the enhanced
focus on Safety, Employees, Achievements and general well being of the organization. The
Mundra visit was applauded by all. The visit gave an insight into the vastness of the scale
and size of Adani Group.
The months of August & September were full of festivities and rejuvenation. The
Vishwakarma Puja, Baroda Gas Day celebrations, the ongoing Navrati festival and the
upcoming Dussera and Diwali have set us on “Festival” mode.
The Garba enthusiasts are showing their moves in the colourful outfits. We have more of it
coming with our own ‘Ramzat 2011’ at Karnavati club. For all those who are late in waking
up to the festivities, it’s wake up time, as only last 2 days are remaining for the Navratri.
I wish all a very colourful and zestful Navratri and Very Happy Diwali & New Year greetings.

Employee Ki Kalam Se……..
Road Safety……
Yun to mai din bhar site pe safety ki dugdugi bajata
hu,
But jab khud pe aati hai baat to na jaane kyun hur
rule bhul jaata hu.
Signal todkar mai khud ko kaafi cool sa paata hu,
Din me jaane kitni baar death ko invitation de aata
hu.
Helmet na khareed kar paise bachaata hu mai,
Aate jaate khubsurat chahro ko niharne ka chance bhi
to paata hu mai
Maano ya na maano hai ye social work ka kaam ,
hur maheene jaane kitne hawaldaaro ko chaay-paani
karaata hu mai.
“Driving rash is my passion n speed is my obsession”
kahkar khub harshaata hu mai,
Recent newspapers me chhapa “Azhhurudeen” ka udaas
chehra kaise bhul jaata hu mai
“Streets are filled with idiots” n “safety is a
habit” jaise slogans se khud ko kaafi prabhavit paata
hu mai,
But jab khud pe aati hai baat to jaane ku hur rule
bhul jaata hu mai......
Din me jaane kitni baar death ko invitation de aata
hu mai…..

REFLECTIONS!
In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an
idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long
Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought
that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It
just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done
before!
Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge.
He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it
could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After
much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son
Washington, an upcoming engineer, that the bridge could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed
concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could
be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness
of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to
build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a
tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington
was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which
resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move!
Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project
should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew
how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was
never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge
and his mind was still as sharp as ever.
He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends,
but they were too daunted by the task. It seemed that there was a
message for him not to give up.
Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he
decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed
a code of communication with his wife.
He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he
wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method
of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but
the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on
his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the
spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the
triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not to be
defeated by circumstances.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude and
achievement of an impossible goal.
Current Festival
Ae Haaaloooo...Dandiya Ramava....
The Hindu festival of Navratri - ‘Nav’ means Nine and ‘Ratri’
means Nights – a festival running nine nights, is celebrated
twice a year. The first Navratri of the year is known as Chaitra
Navratra falling in March-April – not much for Garba players and
the second Navratri is held in October-November, which
coincides Durga Puja, known as Sharad Navaratra. The nights
of Navratri are devoted to the reverence of Goddess Durga,
worshipped in different forms - ‘Shailputri’, 'Brahmacharini',
Chandraghanta, ‘Kushmanda’, ‘Skand Mata’,
‘Katyayani’,
'Kalratri', 'Maha Gauri' and Siddhidatri for nine days. In some
communities, people undergo rigorous fasts during this season
that lasts for the nine days of Navratri.
During the Festival, people perform rigorous Pooja. And one
of the reason of performing today’s Garba is
a culture
derived from this Pooja. People were used to perform Garba
– a traditional way of worshiping – during night. But, the
culture has changed and the ’Garba’ has moved from local
colony (called ‘Sheri’) to ‘Garba Dance’ in Clubs and Party
Plots with Fashion and Fancy dress. The youth is performing
Garba from late night to early morning next day.
The
Cultural Department of
also
Gujarat
Government
is
organizing ‘Vibrant Navaratri Mahotsava’ at large form.
Current Festival
In tradition, people also worship Mother
Laxmi - the goddess of wealth. Business men
also perform Pooja in the offices and start
the new account as per Hindu calendar.
The festival of Diwali is truly a “Festival of
Lights”, as it not only involves lighting of
Lamps but, it brings the light of happiness,
togetherness, spiritual enlightment and
prosperity for everyone. With the sounds of
crackers killing all bad-omens, the lighted
lamps-lighting the lives of people, the
prayers and pujas creating an atmosphere
full of goodness and purity, the festival of
Diwali indeed fills the atmosphere with an
aura of goodness and a heaven like
atmosphere.
Wish you all a Happy Deepawali....
