NIAGARA IN PHOTOS

RELAXING IN NIAGARA FORT AFTER HECTIC WALKING
Visit to Niagara Fort was quite early in the morning and the cool breeze provided comfort as one walked endlessly to cover the vast area. There was history as to how amicably and with mutual respect Canada and the US settled the border without dispute. Both the countries were liberal and trusting in their outlook that it remains till date the benchmark for dealing matters where differences happen. Something worth emulating by all the countries with their neighbors.

SEA GULL
WELL BEGAN IS HALF DONE
Parking of the bus near this shopping complex sent a wave of euphoria to one and all as everyone was a first time visitor to Niagara Falls and the city of  Buffalo.

The sea gull found in thousands perched on the sides of Niagara falls appears soft but pecks hard.
                  
       
Canada is so near yet so far. 
The board "Entry to Canada" was felt as "Welcome to Canada" by many tourists.

The ferry on the right is from Canada as the apron is red in color while for USA it is blue.

THE RIVER NIAGARA LOOKS LIKE OCEAN IN THE FORT

              
THE PLAQUE THAT SPEAKS HISTORY
         
People repeatedly said last time and went on clicking. That was the charm of Niagara. I too fell for the temptation and clicked from a nearest point possible (The Photo below). Visit to USA is worth it only to enjoy Niagara Falls and I too enjoyed and enjoyed never feeling like leaving the place.


NEAREST VIEW OF THE FALLS
Unending desire to viewing and clicking continues.

GOOD BAD AND UGLY IN RIGHT PROPORTION IS LEADERSHIP

-

  The good bad and the ugly in right mix is what is leadership. People adore leaders since their good part is more visible while the bad and ugly form part of strategy that leadership is always made up of. Talking from the Indian perspective we talk of " sama dana bedha dhanda" as the right techniques leaders should adopt. The good and the 'sama' sync well as you do not need anything else to convince someone except good words and normally the method also works with people who behave 'good' for whatever purpose. 'Dana' is the way people who evade being good fall for, most often. 'Dana' is nothing but buying out people with favors and in present day materialistic world it is all the more easier for leaders to choose the apt item of 'Dana' which different people opt for. The role of leadership becomes a little complicated and demands the real skill of the leader both in strategy and approach when the last two options have to ...

METRO TO RURAL POSTING OF BANKER---LEARNINGS ON BRINJAL AND TOMATO

                                       THIS IS THE BRINJAL PLANT I WAS FAMILIAR WITH How do you know? This was the question of my colleague with additional surprise. I didn't know what to answer as brinjal plants are less than two feet in height is no great general knowledge.  This officer on rural transfer from Mumbai and knowing Gujarati was made a manager in a godforsaken rural branch in South Gujarat. ‘Manager Saheb’ as address, respectful greetings across the village, hospitality with overflowing fruits and milk and lot of discretionary power and obedient staff in office were quite in contrast to his two decades life in cramped flat of the metro and drudgery of office life. Though different life, he didn't feel out of place.  He hardly understood his job role but was feeling comfor...

EDUCATION AND SCHOOLS

-
It was a quiz program to test the knowledge of Tamil. Three schools participated out of which two had good brand value and were also from urban/metro areas. The third was from a small remote village near Kinathukadavu in Coimbatore district. I was delighted when the boys from this school won and earned handsome rewards in cash and kind. It is a middle school of less than 500 students and KPA of teachers include visiting homes of students and convincing parents on value of education to send students to schools instead of work. In others words marketing of a school which did not have brand value. The students wore new uniform for the program and were beaming with confidence to compete. The urge for knowledge and consequent respect and recognition it fetches ignited their spirit to be competitive. It was very pleasing to see the humble teacher accepting standing ovation equally humbly stating that NRIs from their district also have come to know of the school and are support...
