Cauvery fallout: Lack of cross-border transport increase worker's woes

BENGALURU | CHENNAI: Thousands of employees working in the industrial suburbs of the Electronics City and Bommanahalli and on other campuses such as Narayana Hrudayalaya in Bengaluru are struggling without interstate public transport regardless of statements of normality by government authorities.

An estimated 15,000 people working in Bengaluru's industrial suburbs live in Hosur and its suburbs because either they have home there or for reasons of living expenses. Electronics City alone employs 1.5 lakh people across segments. "The situation at the Attibele border appears as tense as it is at the India-Pakistan border," said an IT professional working in the Electronics City .

Kolkata will take a century to recover from Mother Teresa

If Mother Teresa, to be canonised at the Vatican on September 4, is to be named a patron saint of anything it should be for "misinformation". In the last 20 years of her life, truth became an unknown entity to her. The media aided and abetted her lack of integrity and in a way she cannot be blamed for believing in her own lies.

Intellect was not her strong point and, for someone like her, to be surrounded by hordes of sycophants who were telling her if she said black was white then that had to be true, it became intoxicating. The media did spread the mega-myth about her, but she herself was the source. She repeatedly told the world she went around the city 24x7 "picking up" destitute from its squalid "gutters" (she did not), that she fed up to 9,000 in her soup kitchens (she did not), she never refused a helpless child (she did as a rule), that the dying destitute in her so-called home for the dying Nirmal Hriday died a "beautiful death" (they were treated harshly and often died a miserable, painful death).

Mother Teresa was an ultimate politician who worked on behalf of the Vatican. No, she was not an "agent" as that would be conspiratorial. She did not have to do much subterfuge or skulduggery in India itself, as Indians, particularly the media, were in awe of her and connived with her.

When she said in her Nobel speech that she created 61,237 fewer children from (slum) couples abstaining from sex, no one challenged her on her bogus and fantastic figure; neither did they ask her how at the height of the Cold War abortion could be the "greatest destroyer of peace" (said a thousand times, including in her Nobel speech).

I do not blame world media as much as I blame Indian and particularly Kolkata media. Here she was, a jet-setting celebrity -- although appended with the epithet "of Calcutta" -- spending six to nine months in a year in Europe and the US, making strange claims about her work and about the disgusting state of the city, but never to be seen in the city's disasters -- major or minor.

From Jamnagar to Jio: Mukesh Ambani is reliving his passion for telecom

MUMBAI: One of the toughest business calls Mukesh Ambani had to take during his separation with younger brother Anil in 2005 was letting go of telecom company Reliance Infocomm. Mobile telephony was set for explosive growth and would have signalled the arrival of Ambanis in the new economy. But the younger sibling got what had almost become a personal project for Mukesh, and renamed it Reliance Communications (RCom).

More than a decade later, India's richest man is reliving a passion he never gave up on. The 59-year-old's re-entry into telecom has been in the making for almost six years as he prodded the team -which included his daughter Isha and son Akash -not to repeat the mistakes the group made during their first foray into the sector in 2002. The Reliance Jio (RJio) project missed several deadlines but Ambani preferred a waiting game to avoid missteps in what is arguably his most ambitious and personal

If Jamnagar, the single biggest investment in post-liberalized India at the time, marked a milestone for Reliance Industries and India Inc, Ambani believes RJio's free voice calling and cheap data strategy would catapult the country's billion-plus population into the digital age.

"In my view, real power means the ability to make an impact on the quality of life of the people. Power needs to be measured by the impact of an individual's contribution to the movement of history,

Reliance Retail, which he launched a decade ago, today operates more than 3,800 stores across 670 cities and towns, making it the country's largest retailer. Like telecom, the retail foray had many naysayers who believed that Ambani could never build a consumer business.Undeterred, Reliance Industries built a network retailing groceries to toys to couture fashion. Reliance Industries, and more conspicuously Brand Ambani, has since then taken interesting detours to dabble in sports and entertainm ..
