Harry P.
Who is Harry Plotter? He's certainly neither as young as the famous
Harry P nor with the same witchcraft capabilities. The man we are
referring to recently sanctioned political decisions at a state
agency - over the head of the chief of the outfit who resigned in
disgust.
Old
wine
It’s like old wine in a new bottle. Some chamber
organizations are running out of ideas or ways to draw the attention
of new governments. A recent proposal by one chamber lists out the
same, old do’s and don'ts that the private sector has been
talking of for many years. With every government comes proposals
for governance, law and order, increasing economic growth, and productivity,
improving infrastructure, telecom, transportation … haven't
we heard these before. Come … come isn't there any creativity
left in driving home some salient points? Little wonder then that
government ministers have no time for suggestions that get repeated
over and over again.
Unbelievable
A seminar by "Mr Unbelievable" ran the attractive
ad but interested participants who purchased tickets at Rs. 9,500
found there was no venue or the date given on the ticket. The ticket
also had a line saying, "Seating is on a first come first served
based" which puzzled many. "Does this mean all paid-up
participants are not entitled to seats?" asked one corporate
executive, "or should the line have read … free seating?"
"Just unbelievable," was the wry comment of some. Despite
the grumbles, the two seminars had a sell-out crowd. |
