Was Tajmahal built really by Mr.Shahjahan???

I always felt how could Shahjahan think of such a wonderful structure when he should have been mourning for his wife. If I had been in his place, I would have renounced everything in the realms of the loving wife.

Now that there is photo evidence that TajMahal might not been built by Shahjahan is more compelling to believe. As an citizen of India, I have all the rights to know the history of this amazing country. I despise the governments who do not have the courage to pursue in the lines of truth in the name for some meek votes....

Do we know Mrs. Sonia?

I am really do not have any political affiliation. But as a citizen of India I think we need to really see if there is any truth in the claims raised y Dr. Subramaniam Swamy.

How to manage a staff of young employees

A very good article in AllBusiness.com
The tips in the article are -

Be clear from the outset:
When you interview a younger potential worker, be sure to craft a clear representation of what your company will expect of him or her. Fully explain performance goals, appropriate office behavior, dress code, and office hours. This will open the potential employee’s eyes to the job requirements and what it takes to succeed.
Give them extra structure:
Your young employees need defined due dates for reports and detailed schedules for projects in order to properly structure their workday. It is reassuring to them when jobs have regular hours, meetings have agendas, goals are clearly stated, and progress is assessed. You should define success factors so that they know that they are making progress.
Teach business standards:
It is important that you instruct young employees from the beginning about your company’s business standards. Young workers may never have been accountable for meeting strict objectives and might not understand the costs of actions such as using unsuitable language in a business e-mail.
Give them free rein to multitask:
Keep in mind that your young staffers can multitask unlike any generation before them. This means that they can send e-mails, talk on the phone, and compose memos at the same time — and enjoy themselves in the process.
Cultivate a positive atmosphere:
For young workers, the workplace needs to be fun and employee-centered. They want to enjoy their work and their workplace, and they want to make friends with their colleagues. This means going out to lunch with other employees, laughing and joking with staffers during work hours, and being involved in planning company events. Remember that a stodgy atmosphere isn’t going to interest most young employees for very long.
Be a mentor:
Young employees want to learn from you and receive your daily feedback. They want your leadership and supervision, to learn about how the company works from the source. You should understand this when you hire them, and plan to spend time teaching and coaching them. Young employees will return your investment in them with their enthusiasm.
Strive for work-life balance:
Young employees fill their lives with many activities — sports leagues, social groups, classes, time spent with friends. They work hard, but they are generally not workaholics. Home, family, and friends are often their first priorities. It is important to remember that work-life balance is very important to young employees.

Some of these tips apply to even veterans of an organization.
