Its rare to read something positive on efforts of any Indian Govt. agency.. here is a story of a guy who went to India from Birmingham on an Air India flight with his ailing mother... and how this flight attendant lady named Shehzan helped him! AWESOME story! It was the flight attendants..in particular two of them. One a lady , young pretty looking , possibly a bit younger than me ,who was looking after our seats and was attentive as usual but extremely perceptive.She soon realised that my mother wasnt well and had some difficulties in getting up from her seat.Mum took some (read a lot )time to do it plus took a while to explain what she wanted when she stopped her. ...as it turned out mom stopped her quite often during the entire flight almost everytime she passed by and more.I would try to preempt it and smile apologetically but this lady just smiled and listened and did and stopped each and every time Mom put out her hand.She waited for mum to communicate in her own time with no expression of exasperation. She would materialise out of nowhere and get a male attendant too when she realised Mum wanted to get up from her seat and I would need help. Read more

The less you have to pay to find your energy, the more profitable you can be. - Second, long-lived assets supported by a nice reserve replacement ratio -- the ratio between additional proven reserves and energy production. This can help to ensure years of good production. Read more
48 hours is pretty damn impressive given that some of the areas were very remote in Andaman! Even Katrina response in US was worse. In this survey it aso came out that unlike other countries where Internation agencies and NGOs got better marks ... in India the Govt. agencies were better off. Compared to Sri Lanka and Indonesia, India responded well to the December 26 tsunami by providing rescue and relief services within 48 hours, according to a survey undertaken by an international organisation. However, life for tsunami victims in all these countries is far from normal even almost a year after the tragedy, said the survey report released by Fritz Institute, a US-based non-profit organisation dedicated to addressing complex operational challenges in the delivery of humanitarian aid to people and communities in need.
