ROAD   CONSTRUCTION  &  ELECTRIFICATION – are considered  two most  important developmental  activities. They are important because- first, they are really important. Second- they are considered important.  In economy, just like in life, it is always good to see important things being considered important as well.  It is considered important because it shows up. Unlike coal mining, it shows up.  A new road being constructed- Voila! The entire city  knows.  New power lines being laid- Great! Everyone knows. || In economy, just like in life, it is always good to see…

20.07.2018 Among many other ways, our work desk too is one of the way of self-expression.   One such desk is of Pyage Sir at the Director(T/P&P) Secretariat.  Enter Pyage Sir’s chamber and you will find yourself nestled in mother nature.   On one side of the room, large glass window offers bountiful view of the green canopy.  Occasionally, you can also spot simian power– The monkeys  ensconced comfortably on the windowsill.     While  most  of  them  sit  quietly  on  the sill, the super-curious will  give  the  laugh  of …

This post is about a girl. A girl called Parul Yadav.  I feel a strange positive vibe whenever I come across works being done by this super girl. She is working as Assistant Manager (Community Development) and is presently posted at Block B Area of NCL. The way she sends her press note is a clear differentiator. She always writes in stark clarity about various dimensions of events happening at Block-B. Plus, there is an added element of  ‘extra mile’ she goes in all the programmes she organises/understakes. Take, for…

Few months ago, I was transferred from Personnel Department to CC & PR Department ( Corporate Communications and Public Relations Department (commonly known as PR Department) of my organisation. Added with the transfer came location variant- from project posting to Headquarters.

At that moment, I was both shocked and happy. Happy for all…

‘Leave a little sparkle wherever you go’ –these are not my words, neither do I know who said or wrote them first. But I do know two things about these set of words. First, today this is a much acclaimed sentence being shared widely on various digital forums. And secondly, these set of words perfectly suit one of  a NCL officer named Amrendra Kumar. Amrendra Kumar is working as Assistant Manager (Community Development) at Amlohri Area of NCL and wherever he goes, he leaves a little sparkles of our company- the…

What I chanced upon today. The snapshots-     So, I made this whole new  id called nodalofficer.ccpr@gmail.com for sending NCL Kakri event updates  to CC & PR Department, NCL. Because If Bhaskar doesn’t know it, it had not happened.  And now when I know the set-up, I laugh at my gung-ho approach of creating an id without the project name. Indeed, ignorance is bliss- renders one amiss! #Nostalgia #KakriDiary

There is so much we learn by observing. There is so much we learn by reading in between the lines. Everyone at every moment  is a new lesson. Same person at different moments- a new lesson. Different persons at same moment- a new lesson. Lessons might be good or bad.  But learning isn’t. Learning is learning. There can not be an adjective to learning. This is an article about my takeaways from Mr.L.P.Godse’s (GM Kakri) speech on NCL Foundation Day celebrations at Project Kakri. Watching and listening to GM Kakri…
