Rambling talk on Air Pollution

Rambling talk on Air Pollution Dr Manoj K Patel +91 8249206647    l    manojkumarpatel1963@gmail.com One branch of study that commenced and has remained fashionable in most of the countries is – the branch of environmental sciences. The 80s saw its emerge, surge and bend towards the subject of environmental pollution and its control. Rhetoric, more than actions, have been the cynosure in this area right from its commencement. Non-professionals from all branches ranging from sociology, psychology, chemistry, biology, bio-sciences, safety, and chemical engineering to aeronautical science started writing, preaching, publishing papers in all sorts of journals regarding environmental pollution and remedial measures, practical as well as non-practical. I remember at least one dozen journals emerged in 1980s from the city of Meerut alone inviting articles for publications on environmental aspects.

National Development through Quality Improvement in Indian Context

National Development through Quality Improvement in Indian Context Dr. Manoj K Patel Nomadic community began its path to industrialization when people in professions of glovers, tailors, fletchers, barber-surgeons, tanners, needle makers, turners, skinners, butchers, bakers, and brewers started planned production and maintained inventory for their input materials and finished goods, basically for earning their own livelihood in a systematic and planned manner.

Live Life Pragmatically

Life is not a Classroom of Moral Science Learn to live................ if not to prosper Gayatri Patel and Manoj K Patel                                                                                 There is a saying, where I read I do not remember, – “there are many people who have succeeded in business without a management degree but there is no one who has succeeded without commonsense” So this small article is on few of such points that life has taught me during the last 56 years.

I will not put any example for the points I have brought up here, but one live example I would like to quote that – I have seen a student of Prof Maria Mayer; the American German Theoretical Physicist and Noble Laureate; who himself is a Theoretical Physicist, is now 80 years old an

Why Many Start Ups Fail

  When we go to different places a number of business proposals crop of in our mind. If we find a restaurant is very popular and making good business then we tempt to ask ourselves that why not start a restaurant business. If we find a medicine stores is doing roaring business then we feel like starting a medical shop and earn handsomely. TED talks we see and most of us feel like starting a TED talk and get popular. I know some of my friends in software jobs. They saw the lucre and glamour in the software environment and started making their own start ups. Most of them failed miserably, few could afford to come back to jobs but many went bankrupt. They became burdens to their old parents. Many went in to deep depressions never to recover till now. Staring a new business is an excellent idea. In fact, we read success stories of many entrepreneurs and get motivated to start our own business, but what usually we miss are the failure stories and stories of failed entrepreneurs
