You know what really had me terrified on Nov. 7?

Here’s the background: Florida’s 13th Congressional District is currently represented by Katherine Harris, who as Florida’s secretary of state during the 2000 recount famously acted as a partisan Republican rather than a fair referee. This year, Harris didn’t run for re-election, making an unsuccessful bid for the Senate instead. But according to the official vote count, Republicans held on to her seat, with Vern Buchanan, the GOP candidate, narrowly defeating Christine Jennings, the Democrat.

Bhartis are on an expansion spree

Realising the vast potential of the telecom sector long before any of his counterparts did, he sold mobile connections to the well-heeled, when the price of a handset was around Rs.40,000 (nearly the cost of a second hand Fiat or a Maruti car) and calls used to cost a whopping Rs.16 per minute. And today, when India is adding millions of mobile connections every month, his company Airtel has become a household name.

For him, freedom meant economic development

While others were fighting for India’s political independence, Jamshetji was negotiating for fair policies from the same stubborn, muleheaded British Raj to secure India’s economic & industrial future. Jamshetji identified three key areas for India – steel, electricity & scientific research. He did not live to see this vision bear fruition, but managed to lay the foundations of three large organisations – Tata Steel (formerly Tata Iron & Steel Company), The Indian Institute of Science and The Tata Power Company Limited. He also started the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai with Rs.42.1 million. The hotel was a gift to his countrymen as fellow Indians were not allowed to enter the Watson hotel in Mumbai during the British rule.

You need to master the art of knowing what is it that attracts the audience and reach out to them

If products need images to sell, then politicians need personalities to sell themselves. It all comes down to this basic fact, and Gallop surveys are a proof of the fact that time and again, in a Presidential race, it’s the personality factor that has played a critical role in deciding who would be the winning candidate. You need to master the art of knowing what is it that attracts the audience and reach out to them. A research has revealed that most of the people have no clue and no understanding of the candidate’s stand on issues. Most of them don’t understand the Presidential debates. It was said that people who voted for John Kerry in the 2004 elections believed in his health program and people who voted for Bush were concerned about the terror and national security and values.

Essar Power Ltd.

Essar Power Ltd. was swinging much news in the month of July in 2006 for its proposed power plant in Madhya Pradesh. It has invested Rs. 40 billion to setup a 1,000 MW power plant, while Hindalco has invested Rs. 24 billion for a 750 MW power plant in the same region. A joint venture (50:50) of Hindalco and Essar is to start work in December this year on a new coal mine development project.

In addition, the Group has a shipping fleet of 27 vessels, which includes bulk carriers, tankers and VLCC (very large crude carriers).

So, the next time you think about an ‘infrastructure conglomerate’, it should not be too difficult to visualise this one not just being there, but rocking at the forefront.

St. Petersburg

East is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet. And yet, as I cast my eye over St. Petersburg, with its architectural style (that the makers long deliberated over) and the metronomic symmetry of it all, it seems to me as if it is worlds apart from Russia and yet somehow intricately intimate with the Russian world. Springing from the fountainhead of inspiration of Tsar Peter the Great (whose reign lasted from 672 to 1725), the city was borne of the desire to usher Russia into the waiting arms of Europe and, as a consequence of that, into the consciousness of the world. “Dah, Peter (that’s what the locals call it) is one of the most unique cities of the world”, was the effusive insight from Gennadi, my comrade in arms and source of opinion on two feet. Opinionated or not, even Gennadi would agree that the Tsar was nothing if not farsighted and this vision of his was to prove the making of St. Petersburg in more ways than one.
