Sonia Gandhi inaugurates Bandra-Worli sea link
MUMBAI: The Bandra-Worli sea-link was inaugurated on Tuesday by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, reducing the travel time between the southern part

of the metropolis and its western suburbs from the present 60-90 minutes to 6-8 minutes.
The 4.8-kilometre long, eight-lane bridge will save around Rs 200-crore a year in vehicle operating cost alone.
The sea-link conceived in the 1990s, would thus provide much-needed relief in the congested Mahim Causeway area which records around 1.25-lakh vehicles daily.
Work on the sea-link, which has been constructed by the Ajit Gulabchand-led Hindustan Construction Company (HCC), commenced in October 2004.
The cost of illumination of the bridge would be Rs 9 crore and the height of the cable-stayed tower is equal to a 43-storey building.
Mumbai sea bridge to be named after Rajiv Gandhi
India's first sea bridge, which was thrown open to traffic in this financial capital Tuesday, will be named after former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan announced here.
Chavan's announcement was in response to a surprise demand to this effect by Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
"Rajiv Gandhi was born in Mumbai, he was a son of the soil and it will be appropriate that the bridge be named after him," Pawar said in his speech at an inaugural function.
Amidst thunderous applause, Chavan accepted Pawar's suggestion and made the announcement on the dais at the Rang Sharda Auditorium, Worli, where the official inauguration function was held after the bridge was thrown open by United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson and Rajiv Gandhi's widow Sonia Gandhi.
Called the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL), the 5.6-km bridge on the Arabian Sea cost Rs.1,634-crore ($16.34 billion) and the authorities hope some 150,000 vehicles will use it each day for a toll that ranges between Rs.50 and Rs.100 per trip depending on the size of the automobile.

"A 10 Steps"
Here are 10 steps a leader can take help create a corporate culture of personal accountability:
1. Don’t talk about people, talk to people.
2. Communicate in a respectful manner. If you are too mad to be respectful, calm down before addressing the problem.
3. Yelling is not acceptable.
4. Do not “air our dirty laundry” in public. If you have a problem with someone, speak with them behind closed doors.
5.. Be mindful of who is listening. Close doors or lower your voice (or the volume on your speaker phone) as necessary.
6. Don’t be a “bully” to others, particularly those in jobs subordinate to us. We address problems with the appropriate person in an appropriate manner..
7. Don’t preach desired behavior; rather practice desired behavior. People will form their opinions of us not just in terms of how we treat them, but how they see us treating others. Additionally, remember that our team members are our internal customers. They will treat our external customers the way that we treat them.
8. Do not perpetuate problems through gossip. Just to make sure we’re on the same page, gossip is defined as, “idle talk or rumor, especially about the personal or private affairs of others” or “a report (often malicious) about the behavior of other people”. Do not spread rumors. Address issues then move on.
9.. Do not speak negatively of others, of the company, or of the company policies to those “outside the team” or to other team members.
10. Always ask these questions when a problem occurs:
• “Why did this problem occur? Why did this person make a mistake?”
• “What could I have done to prevent this problem? Was it a lack of communication on my part?”
• “Did I fully explain my expectations?”
• “How would I want to be treated in this situation?”
Our job is always going to be tough, with unexpected crises popping up, but we don’t need to make it tougher by bringing unnecessary drama and stress into the workplace. Let’s all do our part to reach the goals of the organization, and help to change corporate culture one person at a time, starting with ourselves.

True Story About Temper
You Make A Difference
Don't spend you precious time asking
'Why isn't the world a better place?'
It will only be time waster.
The question to ask is 'How can I make it better?'
To that there is an answer.
~ Leo F. Buscaglia ~
i, personally, cannot vouch whether this story is real or not, but WhatEver the case might be, after reading this, i hope that u will be able to Hold Your Temper, by silently counting to yourself slowly, from 1 to 10, before reacting to your AnGer.
So, here is the story:-
There was a little boy with a bad temper.
His father gave him a bag of nails, and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Then it gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper, than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.
The fence will never be the same.
When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one.
You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.
It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there.
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed.
They make you smile and encourage you to succeed.
They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
Show your friends how much you care.

Anger management tips: 10 ways to tame your temper
Anger management tips: 10 ways to tame your temper
Controlling your temper isn't always easy.
But these effective anger management tips will help give you the upper hand.
Do you find yourself fuming when someone cuts you off in traffic?
Does your blood pressure go through the roof when your child won't cooperate?
Anger is a normal and even healthy emotion, but learning how to deal with it in a positive way is important.
Uncontrolled anger can make both you and other people feel lousy.
If your outbursts, rages or frustrations are negatively affecting relationships with family, friends, co-workers or even complete strangers, it's time to learn some anger management skills.
Anger management techniques are a proven way to help change the way you express your anger.
10 tips to help get your anger under control
1. Take a 'timeout.' Although it may seem cliche, counting to 10 before reacting really can defuse your temper.
2. Get some space. Take a break from the person you're angry with until your frustrations subside a bit.
3. Once you're calm, express your anger. It's healthy to express your frustration in a nonconfrontational way. Stewing about it can make the situation worse.
4. Get some exercise. Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt. Go for a brisk walk or a run, swim, lift weights or shoot baskets.
5. Think carefully before you say anything. Otherwise, you're likely to say something you'll regret. It can be helpful to write down what you want to say so that you can stick to the issues. When you're angry, it's easy to get sidetracked.
6. Identify solutions to the situation. Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work with the person who angered you to resolve the issue at hand.
7. Use 'I' statements when describing the problem. This will help you to avoid criticizing or placing blame, which can make the other person angry or resentful — and increase tension. For instance, say, "I'm upset you didn't help with the housework this evening," instead of, "You should have helped with the housework."
8. Don't hold a grudge. If you can forgive the other person, it will help you both. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want.
9. Use humor to release tensions. Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Don't use sarcasm, though — it's can hurt feelings and make things worse.
10. Practice relaxation skills. Learning skills to relax and de-stress can also help control your temper when it may flare up. Practice deep-breathing exercises, visualize a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase to yourself, such as "Take it easy." Other proven ways to ease anger include listening to music, writing in a journal and doing yoga.
