| Hi friends ! I am from Jaipur. perhaps all of you have heard about the terrorist activities happened in Jaipur on 13th May. Having tears in my eyes I was, a bit, glad to see 'the social unity and sympathy' in the hearts of the people of Jaipur. but when I switched on my TV to know more about the event, I was surprised to see the senseless running c...

| Why women marry |
| It’s always a wonder to me as to why women marry. Don’t get me wrong, but mostly I find that women marry the wrong sort of guy for the right reasons (eg, Karisma Kapoor), or marry the right sort of guy for all the wrong reasons (eg, Karisma Kapoor again). The more beautiful/successful they are, the more vulnerable they seem to be on this front. It’...

| A Leader Should Know How to Manage Failu... |
| (Former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam at Wharton India Economic forum, Philadelphia , March 22,2008) Question : Could you give an example, from your own experience, of how leaders should manage failure? Kalam : Let me tell you about my experience. In 1973 I became the project director of India 's satellite launch vehicle program, commonly called the SLV-3. Our goal was to put India 's "Rohini" satellite into orbit by 1980. I was given funds and human resources -- but was told clearly that by 1980 we had to launch the satellite into space. Thousands of people wo rk ed together in scientific and technical teams towards that goal. By 1979 -- I think the month was August -- we thought we were ready. As the project director, I went to the control center for the launch. At four minutes before the satellite launch, the computer began to go through the checklist of items that needed to be checked. One minute later, the computer program put the launch on hold; the display showed that some control components were not in order. My experts -- I had four or five of them with me -- told me not to worry; they had done their calculations and there was enough reserve fuel. So I bypassed the computer, switched to manual mode, and launched the rocket. In the first stage, everything wo rk ed fine. In the second stage, a problem developed. Instead of the satellite going into orbit, the whole rocket system plunged into the Bay of Bengal . It was a big failure. That day, the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization, Prof. Satish Dhawan , had called a press conference. The launch was at 7:00 am, and the press conference -- where journalists from around the world were present -- was at 7:45 am at ISRO's satellite launch range in Sriharikota [in Andhra Pradesh in southern India ]. Prof. Dhawan , the leader of the organization, conducted the press conference himself. He took responsibility for the failure -- he said that the team had wo rk ed very hard, but that it needed more technological support. He assured the media that in another year, the team would definitely succeed. Now, I was the project director, and it was my failure, but instead, he took responsibility for the failure as chairman of the organization. The next year, in July 1980, we tried again to launch the satellite – and this time we succeeded. The whole nation was jubilant. Again, there was a press conference. Prof. Dhawan called me aside and told me, "You conduct the press conference today." I learned a very important lesson that day. When failure occurred, the leader of the organization owned that failure. When success came, he gave it to his team. The best management lesson I have learned did not come to me from reading a book; it came from that experience.
