Fashion
Fashion is different from custom or rather is a particular species of it.That is not the fashion which everybody wears, but which those wear who are of high rank or character.The graceful the easy and the commanding manners of the great joined to the usual richness and magnificence of their dress, give grace to the very form which they happened to bestow upon it.As long as they continue to use this form, it is connected in our imagination with the idea of something that is genteel and magnificent and though in itself it should be indifferent, it seems on account of this relation, to have something about it that is genteel and magnificent too.As soon as they drop it, it loses all the grace, which it had appeared to posses before, and being now used only by the inferior ranks of people, seems to have something of their meanness and awkwardness.

Productivity
Creative and lateral thinking is yet another area offering scope for improving executive productivity.When one compares the number of suggestions per employee and the number of quality circles in our organisations with that in Japanese organisations, the picture is not encouraging.There can be a lot of excuses and reasons for not being able to get a worker to come out with suggestions.But this is the indicator of executive productivity.A supervisor's production should be measured not by the production figures alone but by the number of creative suggestions from his workmen and the number of quality circles formed in his selection.
Another important area to measure executive productivity is the new product introduction lead time.Under the emerging competitive environment, customers look for new and improved products which offer value for money.If an organisation sticks to its old standards of new product introduction time, it will be left behind. A famous quote by a company is "we will make our products obsolete before our customer does"
In the light of the automation and quality being built into the process,productivity and quality can be assured to a large extent because of the improvement in the manufacturing system.If these two areas are taken care of, the only role of supervisor or manager in the work place is to change the attitude of workmen.Very little effort is being invested to change the attitude and value system at work place.There is no point in blaming workmen since resistance to change is but a natural and human tendency.The productivity of managers and supervisors lies in changing the attitude of workmen

YOUTH OF INDIA
Young people are of great help to the country.They can devote themselves to the national cause when their energy is properly harnessed and directed.The older generation seeks the assistance of younger ones whenever required but refuses to grant them important positions and opportunities for which they are fit.
The power of Youth has not been fully utilised.Young people give a touch of novelty and by their initiatives can overhaul the social system of out country.They can ignore the lapses and dedicate themselves for the public welfare.They can stablize the political conditions and help the government.But of late, due to many social ills and problem of unemployment, Indian youth are frustrated.
Thus every citizen of India must realise that youth are not useless, but they have been used less.

Who can show us path ?
Nobel souls are always in great demand to show us the right path.
Once a well trained eye specialist met kanchi Acharya and said " Swami ! i am going to start an eye-hospital in abroad and I need your blessings "
The venerable saint looked at him for a moment and said why to start in abroad? why not to start here itself to benefit our people ?
This ignited the doctors mind and this laid the foundation for World famous eye hospital by name " Shankara Nethrealayam "
Swami vivekanada pointed out that religion and culture are the soul of India when it is touched India will die "
It was saint Ramadasa who was behind Chatrapathi Shivaji; It was saint who made Ashoka to take up the path of Ahimsa.
Likewise only a saint can lead this country to glory.
Gita says,
"Yield not to unmanliness, it will not benefit thee
Cast it off this mean faint-heartedness and arise
O!scorcher of thine enemies" .
It is when national body is weak that all sort of germs enter in social, political and intellectual state.The only remedy is to get into the root of the problem and cleanse the impurities.
Let us awasken the eternal Bharath ! Jai Hind !

3 Idiots review
I just dont want to make a comment over the movies which had released just a while back.But Aamir khan’s film that has created a buzz in industry- 3 Idiots. I don’t have the faintest idea of how 5-point someone is and after knowing the film is loosely based on this novel, I didn’t show any interest to grab the book from stores as WYRIWYDG (What You Read Is What You Don’t Get) because of the displeasure that Harry Potter series had left in me. This marks Aamir’s return to big screen after the Mega Mega Blockbuster GHAJINI (the film that didn’t deserve so much of hype), Rajkumar Hirani’s product after critically acclaimed Lage Raho Munna Bhai. It couldn’t get bigger, right? So does this film live up to its expectations? Or is it another Ghajini kinda stuff?
Life is not about getting marks but chasing your dreams. Two friends Farhan (Madhavan) andRaju (Sharman)sets off a journey to find their lost friend Rancho (Aamir) As the journey kicks off, we are shown their college memories, how Rancho stimulated them and brought a change in their lives through a series of flashbacks. The film brings out hard hitting reality of your educational system; rot learning has become a part of students’ life. The characters are real and each one of us can relate to in some part of your life. The screenplay is gripping that you don’t need to look into your watch repeatedly.
3 Idiots is not Aamir’s one man show. It belongs to everyone. Each and every character slips into their role. Aamir is showing flexibility for his every film. A revolutionary youngster, loving teacher, a killer on the run now dons a comic college goer. Though he looks too old to be called as a college-goer at some places, he makes us to dump it into abyss with his rib-tickling performance. Aamir is full of energy.Madhavan as the guy who's chasing his dad's dreams rather than his own is great. Sharman is another surprise who does his role with ease. But the show-stealer is Boman Irani, who was outstanding in his autocratic Principal. His mannerisms and dialogue delivery are exceptional that I could relate him with our Principal. Kareena has nothing much to do but she does her job neatly for given space.
The photography deserves a special mention for transporting us toLadakh and Shimla. The aerial shots are a pleasant treat for our eyes. The first half is fast-packed and hilarious and at the interval there is a twist that leaves you stunned and keeps you hooked to the movie. The film lags its pace in the latter half of the second half with some of the scenes were dragged. Mona Singh Delivery Scene was not at all funny. Songs, on hearing were ordinary but they were good on screen. (But few are annoying and unwanted) The climax is a surprise package and credits to the director for sketching it.
Hirani and Joshi’s screenplay is engaging and enlightening. Overall the movie does give you a fantastic feeling, make you forget all your problems, laugh-out-loud and get-little-emotions for three hours. It is neither a daringly different film-making nor an award winning stuff. It has feel-good factor and a perfect holiday present.
