It reminds us of the political shenanigans during the implementation of the Fifth pay Commission.

How many times have you heard experts, politicians and the finance minister refer to the implementation of the pay hikes following the commission’s report as the singular cause for the increase in government expenditure?

Barring P. Chidambram, who was then the finance minister, every single political party and politician opposed the implementation of the recommendations and are directly responsible for the current fiscal crises in the Centre and the states.

By the time he got to Linjeflug four years later, he had learned many lessons, in fact, he began his second stint as top dog by calling the entire company together in a hanger and asking for help, a far cry from his barking out commands just 48 months back.

At SAS, he arrived at a time crisis.

I suggested that Ford should buy up a company called NCP, which owned most of the car parks in the city centres throughout the UK.

The ability to deploy invested funds into productive economic activity at a higher rate of return, hence contributing to the prosperity of both the econ.

Over the years, I have had the opportunities to observe and understand the thought processes behind the ads that have been flooding both the print and the TV media.

Although there is a huge shift in the quality of ads that we come across on a daily basis– thanks essentially to improvement in technology–I somehow can’t help but feel that the quality of communication of the message has become diluted.
