About a business man

2010-01-03T18:09:00.028+05:30

Nagasundram is a businessman. He wakes up at 4 O'clock in the morning and goes to bed around 11 o'clock in the night. He never feels tired, nor does he complains about his work. He is the father of two male child and of a female child. His daughter is a graduate and works for a multinational firm. His sons are also employed and his family income is around Rs 30000 per month. He also owns a house and has saved enough for his wife and children.

What exactly is his business? He sells Thengai mangai pattani sundal in our area. From morning 5 AM he starts preparing Murruku with his wife's help and then goes to market for buying the necessary incredents for his product. At noon, he travels from Guduvanchery to Mount road along with his product in a train. He has got the license to sell his product anywhere in Tamil Nadu, so he start his sales in the train itself. He then walks from Egmore to Mount road selling to his customers along the wat. His customers often wait for his sundal and he feels happy if he delivers his sundal in time.

Walking is a habit for him, so he never feels tired. His sole aim is to sell his day's product. During Sunday's, he buys half bottle of liquar and spends about Rs 300 on chicken & other eatables. Because of his walking habit, he even walks on Sunday evenings although he is not having any work. He does not want to retire as he feels that without work he will become sick. Our politicians are also following Nagasundram's policy; so if you appreciate Nagasundram you should do the same for the politicians too :)

SERVICES

2010-01-01T08:08:00.000+05:30

      We are making various types of services to the society.If you are in business,you should satisfy your customers.Customer is the most important person in your business,customer satisfaction is the most important, are some of the phrases used in our daily life.How to keep the customer with you is a great task It is not as simple as we think. So many years of good service, will be spoiled in a moment.

      Both the customer, and the provider are mutually benifited.Any think disturbing it will spoil the relationship within a minute.Even the relationship in our family will be spoiled if we are affected mentally,financially,or physically.so the all the talk of customer relationship is worthwhile or not is a subject to be analysed.

      Politicians are affected mostly by their customers, that is the voters.Whatever good governess you provide will be forgetten if onion prices are sky high during the election.Like that even bad governess will be forgoten if some flood relief of Rs 2000 given before the election.

      While in business you have to sort out how to treat a customer. If you are liberal, customer will demand more.If you are strict, customer will vanish.You should get your share while treating your customer,and customer must get his amount of satisfaction.so in a deal who is benifited is important. If both are benifited than the business relationship will go on.All the talk about customer satisfaction will work only in certain time.

We even change the city if it does not give us satisfaction.Sometime even the country we change.The customer satisfaction is not leaving even the God we worship.As there are various Gods we change the God if a particular god is not giving good service to us

Velu the philoshoper

2009-12-14T02:32:00.000+05:30

Velu was a coolie in our market. I used to book my goods for shipment through his help and he charges rupees ten per parcel. His only aim in a day was that he needs to earn a minimum of thirty rupees that day. If he doesn't get enough parcels for making up thirty rupees, then whoever utilize him has to shell out thirty rupees even for a single parcel. Why thirty rupees? That is all he requires to by him one round of drinks. If he earns more than that, then the consumption of liquor that day will also be more. His food expenses were very less. Whatever money he earns daily will be spent on the same day as he never bothered about the next day. He believed that God will provide him for his requirement, though in outward look he does not look like a pious man.

He carried 50 kilos weight parcels effortlessly whereas even 30 kilos is very difficult for me. The food I take contains all vitamins, calories and proteins whereas Velu eats some rice and sambar alone and not much of vegetables. Even with that kind of foof Velu can lift the heavy parcels and does not get tired. We have been told about balanced food and eat the recommended one, but have less energy.Velu had few clothes and lived in a hut; had no savings for the next day, but slept nicely without the help of sleeping tablets. He died two years back, but his memories are still in my mind.

Kings of India

2009-12-03T07:27:00.000+05:30

How we value or imagine certain things is very interesting. My father-in-law had lent money to some of his friends. When he fell sick he started sending my wife and her elder sister to collect back the money he had lent. One such friends to whom he had lent money was from Srivaikundam in Thirunelveli district. This friend hailed from a caste called Kottai Pillamar. Kottai pillamars usually build a fort and they lived inside the fort. The fort was made of clay and brick, and entry to the fort was very restricted. This particular friend of my father-in-law was the chieftain of his fort. My wife and her elder sister went to Srivaikundam to collect the money back from him. In my wife's mind the idea of a fort and a chieftain had created a big imagination. She thought that being a Raja[chief] meant that he would look like the Kings depicted in our history books. When she entered the gate along with her sister, the guards told them to wait.After getting permission from the King, they were allowed inside the courtyard of the Chief. The courtyard was another clay building and a man with bald head,and a dirty linen appeared. On coming to know that this ordinary man was the king, all the imagination built up in my wife's mind went to dust.

In another incident she went to Anantha Padmanabasamy temple in Trivandrum. She was told that Raja of Travancore will be visiting the temple in the early morning. So she went to the temple and positioned herself to have a good view of the King. And then a man with ordinary cloth appeared without jewels and other ornaments of a KING. In India we have many stories like this.

kappi

2009-11-28T17:57:00.001+05:30

When dawn breaks "Thirupalli ezhuchi"will be chanted in temples. But for the man to chant these
verses so early in the morning, it requires stimulus. Coffee is that stimulus for him and for most of us. For most of us, morning starts with coffee.The way, coffee is prepared is very interesting.The correct combination of coffee powder is the secret of a good coffee. These days there are people like wine tasters who can identify good wine, but people who could do that with coffee have been there since stone age! People from Mambalam of Chennai are generally experts in preparing good coffee.They mix A seeds with B seeds to get A+B that makes good coffee. Atleast 10grams of powder per cup is the formulae. By pouring hot water into the powder- filled-filter you get a good extract within few minutes. It is recommended that the filter you use be made of brass filter instead of stainless steel. Milk from a single cow is preferred, but unfortunately you have only "Aavin" milk available to you in cities. Don't
loose heart, you can still have good coffee even with that.

My mother used to grind the seeds everyday. We had a hand grinding machine at home. In
early morning when the seeds are roasted and then ground, the aroma that emanates is fantastic. Only by doing this ritual will you get fresh fresh powder. Buying and then storing already-ground coffee powder for a week was not favoured by my mother.

One of my relative, whenever he visits chennai, goes to Hotel Saravana Bhavan just for his coffee. A visit to Chennai without Saravana's coffee is considered to be a useless visit by him. Some people wake up in the early morning only to have the taste of coffee. In Triplicane, for example, the arrival of milk van will create such a joyous atmosphere. If it's arrival is delayed then all other work will be put to rest. Some house wife's are living only on coffee. My mother wants a cofffee at 5'o'clock in the morning,
and then a second one after the morning tiffin. My brother used to have this liquid every now and then.

Even while arranging a marriage the first condition put forth by the in-laws is that the guests should
be given good coffee. While seeing a girl for my marriage, my mother rejected one girl because the girl doesn't drink coffee. While coffee is considered as a elite one tea is not. It is disrespect to give
tea to the guest in most Tamil people's house. Hot coffee will be there for all type of functions. If it is offered through out the function then it will be the talk of the town. The myth attached to coffee by some people is that too much coffee will change your skin colour. As South India is attached to its coffee, it may be explain as to why South people are different in colour than their cousins from the North.
சூடா காப்பி சக்கரை கம்மி கொஞ்சம் டிகாசன் are some phrases attached to coffee. The bad part about drinking coffee will be described no. The way some people drink coffee is irritating; the glass will be lifted 2ft above shoulder level, the "davara" two feet below and the liquid will be shunted from glass to davara making a lot of noise. Some sip it making irritating sound and also creating a fear that they may swallow the tumbler along with the liquid in the process. Guess how many cups I might have consumed while writting this article?

Revathi Amma

2009-11-28T17:52:00.004+05:30

Revathi amma (name changed for anonymity) is our servant maid and she works in our flat. Her husband used to be the watchman for our flat. He is now not working because of his age. Revathi amma came to Chennai for the education of her son. At first she worked at a politician’s home. Because of the political connection, she got a housing board flat. She has chosen this job out of some compulsions She works in 2-3 flats for monthly salary. My wife, however, has hired her on a contract basis that demands her to work only on Tuesday and Friday. Her job on those days is to clean our home for which she gets Rs 10/day as wages. For a full months work, Revathi amma charges Rs 500, but my wife, being the management expert of our home, didn’t want to commit for a full month.

Revathi amma usually comes to work around 6’o’clock in the morning and starts her work according to the need of her clients. Food will be provided by owners, so she needs to cook only at nights. She does not have a good relationship with her husband. Her husband, though currently not in a job, is saving lots of money. How he gets the money, nobody knows. He deposits his savings through his acquaintance who works in a bank. Even that person (the one who helps him) is astounded by the amount of money saved by Revathi amma's husband. Revathi amma’s life is not a very charming one. Her daughter in law sends her out of the house, although Revathi is the owner. Everybody in the flat took pity on her, so they continue to help her a lot. In spite of her difficulties, Revathi amma keeps her life lively. She tours twice a year, with the expenses being partly met by her savings and partly by donors. Though her life is difficult, it is not because of money. She has quite a bit of it. She also has all the modern-day gadgets in her home and her flat may fetch her sufficient amount of money if sold that should be enough for a decent living, but Revathi amma does not want to sell it. We normally think that these people are poor, but they are not. Some of them are richer than their employers. We like to save money to lead a leisurely life, but these people work tirelessly throughout their lives, although money is there with them. Dignity of labour is their password.

SYDOJI MESS

2009-11-23T13:38:00.000+05:30

If you are a reader of Hindu newspaper, you may know about V. Gangadhar (Slice of life - a column on Sunday magazine). He was a specialist in writing about various types of food he enjoyed. As he was from Palghat and lived most of his childhood in Chennai, he had the privilege of enjoying Kerala as well as Tamilnadu food varieties. Some people may not like articles on food, but food is the most essential thing for a good life. In our daily life food occupies the most important place.

Children, even if they protest, also like to eat. Only catch is that they may not like the main food, but snacks are preferred. In Tamil culture, the first thing we ask on seeing our friends is "sappitachaa?"(have you eaten?). When we visit people we remember to take some eatables along. As a child when guests visited our home, I first looked out for the eatables brought by them. Wherever we go, we first enquire about the food available in that place. Going to the theater, picnic or any other outing will only be complete with good food. Whenever we head to the Marina beach, we go there to not enjoy the sea breeze alone, but to also enjoy the pattani sundal, mango slices, and Maami's special milagai bajji . In temples also we enjoy the Prasadams more. In wedding parties, we eat all the items without caring about our doctor’s advice. South Indians like to eat tandoori, Naan, parathas, while North Indians like idly & dosas. We have even developed a lot of combinations with food. One of my cousin prefers idly with chutney and dosas with chilli powder. During my childhood we used to have rice for all the three meals. Tiffin will be there only on festival days. So naturally I got a liking for Tiffin in my earlier days. I have now, however,switched over to meals again.

Let me now come to the main topic. When I joined my job in Chennai, the first thing I asked was about a good hotel. Triplicane was the place where one can find a number of messes, as mentioned in my earlier post about Mani. I was introduced to a "Sydoji mess" there by my cousin. He had been living in Triplicane for a while because he had opted to study to be a Charted accountant. Sidetracking a bit, I want to point out that If you wanted to be a CA, you need seven lives. In America lots of jokes about Ph.D. students are there; Similarly in India there are plenty about CA students. In fact near the CA institute in Chennai, a church is there on whose wall it was written Jesus never fails. To this somebody added these lines: "Because he never attempted CA!." So this cousin of mine, who has been toiling away with CA, told me about the mess.

The man managing the mess was very strict and we needed to be in his good books to get monthly food token. Luckily because of my cousin I was directly recruited as a regular member. In Sydoji mess you had to stand in line to get your food. Standing in line for your food is not preferred by many, but in Sydoji you had no choice. There were 3 rooms of 12, 19 & 8 people capacity. When the halls become vacant, it will be cleaned and the ones standing in the line were allowed. In other hotels, you simply had to pick a table, put your token on it and eagerly wait for the occupant to clear. In Sydoji, however you were only allowed when everything was ready, so that the man who was already taking his food will not be embarrassed. You should not drink water from the glasses by sipping; you should not make noises while eating and must be quick enough to finish the meals within a allotted time. If you were indifferent to the rules you will be denied your food. The food was very homely with less oil, and more importantly less harmful. As a bachelor you always wanted home-like food, so Sydoji was good, It's another matter that married people or ones living at home prefer hotel food the most! The food at Sydoji on most days was the usual rice, sambar, rasam, along with some vegetable and two papads. Even before the rice was served, you could hear the noises of papad being consumed. During Sundays the menu would be onion Sambar and potato curry which was a delight on those days. Our friends used to say that the food lacked strength and nutrition. But those of us accustomed with it never changed our loyalty to other messes. Another myth was that if you were a customer at Sydoji mess, you will never get married ;)

I have more to say on Sydoji mess, but my wife who has been watching me type this, is not liking all the praise about Sydoji. Also, its time for me to eat the food prepared by her and appreciate it a bit. So I will get back to this story another day.

Choices

2009-11-17T13:40:00.001+05:30

I grew up in a small village in Thirunelveli district called Alwar Thirunagari. There was an elementary school, a high school and a small hospital. A library was also there. In our village mostly joint family system prevailed, mainly because the family income was from agriculture. The life then was very simple. There was no electricity and a total of five buses ran. Mostly people walked, even to the villages nearby. We children had only two sets of clothing that were washed daily and worn. We took bath in the river Tambirabarani and attended school in the morning. Even the lessons in school were simple. Normally language, Maths, Science and History were taught. History was very interesting as it was full of stories and pictures; Maths was mainly about addition, subtraction and multiplication as division was considered to be difficult; in Science we were mostly taught about plants making it also a bit interesting. We didn't own or had to carry any books. In the evenings we would go to the riverbed to play. Those days even the number of games we knew were less. One of the games that was available was football, but it was costly as it needed a ball, making it unaffordable. So we played only games that required no money and mostly physical games. We would study for an hour after that and got enough sleep in the night. Life was normal and simple. After matriculation we went to type writing class and then got a government job. Marriage would be arranged after two years and this simple life continued. No big ambitions, one cinema a week and visiting nearby village by foot was the only other entertainment.

Nowadays things have changed a lot. Education has become complicated and the means of entertainment are more. But when the choices are more, selection becomes difficult, causing more confusion. Take the case of selecting a school for your child, you now have many choices for picking the school, but getting your choice is very difficult. First, you must know when the application will be issued. Then, for that day you have to wait in a queue for two days nonstop. You have to carry a chair, newspaper, and eatables, with all of them needing to be replenished from time to time.You should also pray to the rain god to stay at home and not disturb you until you get the application form. After that the interview date will come. You should provide your profile to the school authorities and according to the worthiness of your profile, your kid will get admission. The fees and other charges will approximately equal to your one years pay. After that you should select the extracurricular activities. Tennis,dance, music are very costly but as a responsible parent these money matters should not disrupt you.

A good husband

2009-11-16T02:29:00.005+05:30

Who is a husband? and what makes you a good husband? Some tips for the would-be husbands!

For becoming a husband you need a wife. So you begin searching for a girl. Girls like a man who has the capacity to satisfy her materialistic needs. So you have to equip yourself with a good degree that will fetch you a good job. You should however be careful enough to get that degree without losing all your hair. Newton’s 4th law says that hair loss is directly proportional to a good degree.

Mostly girls from caste other than your own, girls in other offices or already married ones look beautiful. But you should not lose heart. COntinue your search and Google can help you here. You should also be wise enough to save lots of money during your bachelorhood. Spending money before marriage is a forbidden fruit. A car and a posh flat will be an added advantage for your search. Having sisters and the responsibility of getting them married is a negative one. If you can do all these things you will become older than 28 and that is a negative point. So, You should bridge all these things.

Another important item is the part played by your horoscope. If you can meet all the expectations of the girls, the byproduct is the great Mars dosham (Chevvai dosham). Because men are sending satellites to moon, God is sending Mars to occupy your horoscope in the unwanted positions; positions that make the girl's parents to withdraw from the race. Then comes the good character. If you have seen "Anniyan" film you will know AMBI character. Most girl's parents want you to be an AMBI, but the girls themselves prefer REMO ;). Unfortunately, your parents are not Director SHANKAR. But don’t lose heart, as there will be a girl for everybody. The Only problem being that by the time you find the right girl after a long search, you might have lost all the charms of marriage.

After marriage you must keep your wife entertained and that is not a big thing. All that requires is that you must own a jewelry shop and a textile shop. Sounds simple enough is it not? Going to movies, beach, picnics at parks are all a must do, well liked by your wife. Using the excuse of heavy work at office, no leave etc are not acceptable. It is advisable to make a contract while landing into a job, that states you need long leaves for marriage related reasons. All these things make your wife happy. A Happy wife starts gaining weight in society, as well as in her body. May be because most of the women worship Lord Vinayagar, he decided to give them his body shape. This however will make you happy, because with a heavy body she can not go shopping often and you are relieved. So you should also start praying to lord Vinayagar and thank him ;) Life then will be very happy like the asian paints ad ;) Pudhu car, pudhu pondatti....

Sunil Babu - Time Proof Beauty

Mani - the man of the lodge

2009-11-15T13:34:00.000+05:30

In my bachelor days, I was living in a lodge at Triplicane called the Ambica nivas. It was located near Amir mahal the palace of Arcot nawab. It was a four storeyed building having sixty rooms. It was well ventilated, with mosaic floors. In those days mosaic meant the latest. Triplicane, then was called the bachelors paradise as it was located near the beach and Mt.Road and had lots of messes. During bachelorhood the biggest problem is food. If you wanted to eat anything or drink, you have to go out. That meant, putting on your shirt, pant, etc. and is very boring at times.

Most of us people,who lived there, were accustomed to morning tea or coffee. Coffee was costly and mostly not available. But tea shops were aplenty. Hence, tea becane a must in the morning. After brushing one's teeth there had to be tea. For most of us, our brains will start to work only after drinking tea/coffee in the morning. The brain is trained in such a way that it should be coated with tea solution. If some toothpaste manufacturer can produce a tooth paste that could inject coffee or tea effects after the brushing formality, it will be the best selling toothpaste. We were lucky enough to have a tea shop next to our lodge. The shop had boys to deliver tea to the lodgers. One of them wass Mani -our hero. He was short in nature, resembling the character "CHINNA SHANKARAN" of poet Bharathi’s story. He used to bring us tea daily. He could however supply only 15 glasses at a time and that was the catch. To serve all the 100 lodgers with tea, it took about an hour in the morning. Waiting for an hour for your tea was quite a tough one. Here comes the part played by our hero. He had a preference list. If you were in his wish list you will get the tea in his first round itslef. To be in the lis,t you have to qualify. Just tipping him every month doesn’t get you into the list. You had to talk to him when he wanted to talk. As I was working in alternating shifts, I was fortunate enough to have lot of time to chat with Mani. Some times he wrote poems and wanted you to listen. At times, he would talk to you about his ambitions, his ideas and lots of other things. You had to listen to all to be in his VIP list. Once you got into the list, you were lucky enough be served tea first and that too sharp at 6 A.M. Although I was living in the third floor I got the tea at 6 A.M. He would secretly bring the tea, avoiding other lodgers in two floors below, and put it in my table, making the glass roll like a spinning cricket ball. It would make a "tug tug" noise and then come to rest. Such was his art of putting the glass and made it very nice to watch. Even in the evening, when you would return from work, Mani would watch you and your evening tea will be at your table before you undress. Such was the service you got as you were a VIP in Mani’s’world.

He was a tireless boy working everyday for twelve hours, climbing the stairs 100 times to and fro. Sometimes he would fall sick and have fever The treatment he took then was, take a crocin tablet along with hot coffee, an oil bath , eat biryani and then go to the theatre. No doctor will accept this treatment, preferred and practiced by Mani, but it worked for him. Sometimes he used to ask me Rs 20 for buying a lungi and I obliged him at times, but he won’t buy it .Instead, he would use it to buy half a plate of biryani and a watch a night show. That made him happy. When he took off from work, you could see him wearing a pant, a full sleeved shirt and a kerchief on his head. He would walk like a hero with his head up and singing his favorite songs. He never thought about his misery. I remember his smiling face even today, that is after 30 years. I have even forgetten the face of my childhood friends, but Mani’s face is still green in my memory. Today I have decided that I should visit the tea shop and enquire about our hero.

Little Johnny wants to play

2009-11-15T10:44:00.001+05:30

In the village I grew up, the rainy season is non-issue, as the rains never created any big havoc. It will at the most rain only for a few hours on most days during the rainy season. The River Tambirabarani, that flows through my village, however will be flooded during the winter and the course of the stream will change. The water level in the river will have receeded mostly after a week. When I came to Chennai, I started experiencing the chaotic monsoon season for the first time. Chennai being a coastal town, cyclones were often formed during winter and the rains along with strong winds lasting for several days.

Chennai is the only metro where the natural water resources are not there. It completely depends upon monsoon rain to fill up the lakes that supply water to city. As the city expanded, the drinking water supply did not grow enough to meet the demands.As a result. in most of the residential colonies, that developed in recent times, a good water supply and drainage system are still not available. People living here mostly have to depend upon well water. Initially, the water from these wells will be good. But, as the population in the near by areas increases, the water level will start going down and it will not remain fit for drinking. Eventually, after much effort, the local panchayat will start providing drinking water through pipes. The water, however, will only come through these pipes once in two days or at times, once in a week. People often move into new colonies, only to have a lot of living space. That way, one could allot a room for their parents, kids and themselves too. But when the villain in the form of water shortage appears, he too should be provided with a room. One weeks supply of water needs to be stored in various types of vessels to satisfy our needs. Normally, one's parent’s room will be sacrificed to accomodate the new hero of the house -water!

During rainy days in Chennai, most of the streets will be full of water, yet drinking water will continue to be scarce. When there is heavy rain, all roads will be battered and pot holes will start appearing in every part of the road. Bus service will become irregular. If you are a two wheel driver, chances of you attending office or heading back to home in time will become doubtful. As in most roads, water will start stagnating, your vehicle will have to wade through water. Although your experience will warn you, you will be inspired by your fellow riders, who are gliding the water effortlessly. In areas where water level is more you have to go in full throttle; otherwise water will enter into your silencer pipe and your vehicle will stop. If that happens, you have to go to a mechanic's garage. Luckily, most of the mechanics during the rainy season, position themselves near these areas and they also charge you accordingly. In some low level underground bridges, small fishing boats will also be stationed to facilitate reaching the other end, but of course, all this for a charge. After shelling out all the money and your energy, you may eventually reach your destination, making a vow never to venture again in the two-wheeler during the rainy season. When the next rain comes, will the vow be remembered and the mistake not repeated? That's another issue. When the rain stops, however little Johnny can start playing again.

Who is Employable?

2009-11-10T09:18:00.000+05:30

Everybody now talks about employable graduates. Most of them are not employable, the industry says so. Is it because of our educational system? I started thinking about this, when I recently had to fill up some forms. Filling up any type of form (appplication form etc) by itself is very difficult.Even though you are a graduate, it requires training to complete any sort of form. The basic things needed in daily life should be taught in schools. Ordinary things like filling up money order forms, railway reservation booking, college application forms should be taught in schools. I know engineers who don't know how to change an electrical fuse, who are unable to change a starter in a tube light. Most of us do have difficulty in filling up forms needed to open a bank account.

Moving back to the topic of filling up any sort of forms, even where to sign in these forms requires knowledge. In some forms yours faithfully will be there, in some signature will be there. You have to sign above signature and below yours faithfully. How many educated people know this? You can ask this in a quiz program. Any government application form can only be filled up correctly by the person in the counter; even the Officer in charge will have problems with it.
For instance, I will tell you about the passport application form. The first question in the form is about your name. It may perhaps look simple, but it is not. You have to fill up your name and surname. For most of us in Tamilnadu, expansion of your initial is surname. In north they don’t have initials, but in Tamilnadu, initial is a must. If your father’s name is Ram and yours is Babu, what is your name? Is it Ram Babu or Babu Ram? You will be called Babu ram, but you have to write it as RAM BABU! (in the application atleast). Initials need not be your father’s name, it may be your caste name or your village name, but it should have been written in your birth certificate to be able to use it in the application form.

This name issue is even more complicated for women.Most women include their husband’s name as their initial after marriage. Why they do so, no one knows. Men do not add their wife’s name but women do. Lots of talk about women liberation are there, but why do women want their husband’s name as initial? It creates lot of legal problems. Change of initial require notary public’s certificate. If you divorce your husband, once again you have to change your initial and that of your children too. With all these problems, if you can fill up the form successfully you can be given graduation by the best university with out any examination. If filling up a application itself is so difficult, how about doing your official work?

Most people have cell phones, laptops,internet , but all are not well versed with them.
We get our degree certificate by repeating what is written in books without understanding. Practical knowledge is almost nil. So where is the problem? Better our educationists understand this and take remedial action.
