Wake up call for Delhi administration
The Delhi Human Development Report 2006 published by United Nations Development Program in collaboration with the Delhi Government puts up some startling facts. The state having a per capita income that is around 2.5 times the national average is also the state which has a housing shortage of 300,000 units. Around 38% of these households (barring the slums) consist of single room units! The report states that about 100,000 people are homeless in the city and the visible cornucopias of Delhi are only hiding the true picture.

The other disquieting trend that the report reveals is that Delhi contributes 24.4% of all crimes, 24.4% of rapes and 17.6% of dowry deaths in the country. According to the Public Perception Survey 2005, only 19% of the residents feel safe in the state and 90% feel public transport isn’t safe for women. That’s surprising for a state which gloats over a 55,000 strong police force. The report states that discrimination against women is rampant and Delhi with a sex ratio of 821 is lowest in the ranks. Furthermore, it reveals that inspite of having one of the best hospital networks in India (646 hospitals, 993 dispensaries, & 250 maternity homes), ‘health for all’ remains a distant dream. As the capital, Delhi significantly represents everything that’s wrong with India. One can only wish the authorities would wake up and take action.

Rajeev Karwal (President and CEO of consumer durables, IT and telecom divisions of Reliance Retail) was one of the first high-profile hires of the Mukesh Ambani’s ambitious retail plans and he, interestingly, is also the first to put in his papers. The place of the ex-CEO of Electrolux India will be taken by Ajay Baijal, who was heading the channel business (wireless) at Anil-controlled Reliance Infocomm. The movement also marks the first top-level poaching between the businesses of two brothers.

Work and life: A Hobson’s choice?

IIPM Best MBA INSTITUTE
In fact, we would even vote to retire the term “work-life balance” and replace it with “worklife choices.” The problem is that “work-life balance” suggests there is one right ratio for how much time you spend working and not working, and with that we disagree. Sure, there’s a lot of politically correct advocacy for a kind of perfect equilibrium and it may very well be that many people wanting a 50:50 split between work and life. But some people love work so much and find it so gratifying that they want to live a different equation, say, something like 70:30.

Still others want to work just enough to support a life of avocation. For instance, we have a friend who writes and consults about two months a year to pay for travel the other 10. He thinks his life is perfectly balanced. Balance, we’re saying, is a personal choice based on what feels right to you, given what you want from life, both personally and professionally. With that choice, comes consequences.
