Muhammad Yunus
Age: 67

Muhammad Yunus is a Bangladeshi banker and economist. He previously was a professor of economics and is famous for his successful application of microcredit - the extension of small loans.

Yunus is also the founder of Grameen Bank.

In 2006, Yunus and the bank were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, "for their efforts to create economic and social development from below."

He is the author of Banker to the Poor.

The success of the Grameen model of microfinancing has inspired similar efforts in a hundred countries throughout the developing world and even in industrialized nations, including the United States. More than 94% of Grameen loans have gone to women, who suffer disproportionately from poverty and who are more likely than men to devote their earnings to their families. For his work with the Grameen Bank, Yunus was named an Ashoka: Innovators for the Public Global Academy Member in 2001.

Constitute - be part of a whole

A cricket team constitute 4 bowlers.

Comprise - Be made up of, make up

A cricket team comprise of 6 batsmen, 4 bowlers and a wicket-keeper. [makin it a team of all required11 players]

Consist - have essential feature, be composed of

A cricket team consist of 4 left arm bowler. [which is the feature of this team which others rarely has..mostly it is right arm bowlers ]

The philosophy of W. Edwards Deming has been summarized as follows:

"Dr. W. Edwards Deming taught that by adopting appropriate principles of management, organizations can increase quality and simultaneously reduce costs (by reducing waste, rework, staff attrition and litigation while increasing customer loyalty). The key is to practice continual improvement and think of manufacturing as a system, not as bits and pieces."

The philosophy that is today followed World over. Many business man has made fortunes following the work of Deming. One such example is Samuel Walton [founder WAL-MART].

My creation

2008-04-24T22:15:00.000-07:00

L I F E

Many believe its the only chance,
God gives us to prove our stance
Stand tall or get lost in an avalanche.

Many believe it all started 4 billion years ago,
Now a man, then an embryo.
Even though I tend to believe the latter,
It is only God who could have solved such a complex matter.

We announce our arrival with a cry,
Then we walk & talk
Even though its just a sincere try.
A little old, and we ask the question, why?

"Why is that, that mom?
Why do we have to follow a norm?"

To satisfy our curiosity,
Parents sends us to a Montessori.
Later, they send us to school & college,
To master every subject and gain knowledge.

Little do they know what we do inside the school boundary,
Sleeping and stealing tools from the laboratory.
Bird watching was our favourite sport,
"Exams are near...oh, lets xerox the notes."

We never broke the tradition of cheating,
But was afraid of parent-teacher meeting.

College was a bit light,
That is when our dreams took flight.

Then we become a major,
Still acting like a teenager.
"There is a cut-throat competition ahead, be ready with a knife,"
In no time, we start missing the 'Time of our Life'.

We realise, life was in those notorious deeds,
When we didn't have to make the ends meet.
Life was in those little drops of joy,
Where we left your tensions behind and enjoy.

Life is a mystery to me,
And that is exactly I want it to be.
Never mind the mistakes
We all are living it on ONE TAKE.

Best moments In The PARK ENGLISH SCHOOL

2008-04-22T00:15:00.000-07:00

Time of our lifes !!

well lot of d moments get reflected on my face as a smile whenever those funny moments cross my mind..
some of them r

1.Anil Vs. Rezario- the pricipal
when anil aked d principal 2 sign his uniform shirt on our last day in TPES.

2.Making fun of Rahul's "TOILET DUTY".. it was very annoying 4 rahul to stop students from going 2 toilet after d recess was over.. but he adjusted well when he saw their was no promotion in this job.

3.Arjun's love 4 SONY WEGA (Richa bothra)..it was a big turnoff 4 arjun,but v didn't really care abt him when v played pranks on him makin Richa the subject.

4.the KALA-MANDIR episodes won't stop of twists n turns.. when Rahul finally proposed KUSHBOO (this moment was awesome, believe i hve never seem Rahul more nervous then he was at that moment not even when he gave IIT !!)
the excitement tht Richa showed when she got 2 know abt d proposal ,was also a best moment coz surely she must hve
thought tht it was her turn now.. she probably imagined Arjun kneeling in front of her with a rose in his hand n ask her out..however it never turned into reality

6.d day when THE PARK STREET BOYS performaned live on their home ground.. it was d 1st time in PES's history tht a BAND of 5 boys emerged frm this school.. where i d guitarist, Kamran as drummer n Rahul, Azer n 1 more guy teamed up 2 start a revolution.

7.my 1st day as GATE PREFECT.. when i collected 65 diaries (of d students coming late 2 school ).. it was n is (i hope) d record in PES's history

8.d moments when i some how 4 unknown reasons use 2 pop up b/w Rahul n Khushboo.b it d duty of checkin tickets at gate at KAla-mandir or in d photo where Khushboo is signin on rahul shirt..

9.d last teacher's Days at PES .. where i showed glims of my guitar talent

10.my famous INDIAN FLAG SANDWICHES.. disappearing within secs. of openin my lunch box

woooooohhh.......

took me a long time to create a blog of my own...specially me, who spends a lot of time on internet browsing....should have done it earlier...but no regrets...
finally m here so i will make sure that i carry a thought to post regularly
wherever i go....and most importantly convert the thought into action.
EXECUTION IS THE KEY - ALWAYS.

What took me so long to have a blog of my own?

personally i never felt the requirement to write a daily note of my day [dairy writting] when i was a teenager or even younger. Although, my parents specially my father always wanted me to write a diary when i was in school...i did try my best [tried for a month or so]..but like it always happens, in my case, the good deeds never becomes a habit. M hoping here that, had i done what my father told me to do than...i would have turned from diary to blogging much much earlier.

However, m 21 now and m desperately looking for inspiration [specially in the field of Business]. M looking for ideas and ways to express my creativity [i.e. Photoshop, Swish,Guitar, etc.]. And recently while i was reading an article on Forbes.com.....a moment of enlightenment brushed me. The article was about how creating a blog my a company head can boost the sales of the product the company recently launched or is in process of launching...so here i m preparing for my future activities already.

Besides that, right now m trying all sorts a thing...i have adopted the FEARLESS ATTITUDE [something like Dhoni's :-)]. I want to come out of the COMFORT ZONE.

Through this blog of mine i will take you and myself to my past, my present, my creativity, my analysis....basically MY JOURNEY....

Welcome aboard....
