My PhD project involves 4-6 people directly at any time and about 30 people indirectly. I also run Robogals which is a university based social enterprise. Robogals is still in its early stages and involves directly or indirectly approx 25 people from about 6 organisations in UK and AUS. My...

One of the key factors that affect work efficiency is clarity. Are you or the people you are supervising clear about what needs to be done? Are you or they clear about how to do it as well as the resources available for solving any difficulties? Projects today are large and multidiscplinary and...

Not a rumour but the truth. I was just waiting for someone else to identify the person first. Refer: post on Capt. Abhimanyu & family. Spread the truth.

Dear Mr. Kadian, Thank you for being the first person to voice your thoughts in reply!! I also appreciate the interesting points you have made. I wouldn't say bad man vs. bad man. But rather, a man with a good heart who is not scared to bend the rules a little bit for a good outcome. Indeed I...

And so it continues... Yet another thread on the same 'reservation' topic? Tch. I get the impression that those people (jats or others) who are requesting/ yearning/ begging for reservation and the 'wonderful' classification of 'OBC' are trying to find an 'easy' way out or 'ahead'. (the words...
