Mumbai 30th January 2016. Indian Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector has emerged as a highly vibrant and dynamic sector of the Indian economy over the last five decades. SMEs not only play crucial role in providing large employment opportunities at comparatively lower capital cost than large industries but also help in industrialization of rural areas. SMEs are complementary to large industries as ancillary units and this sector contributes enormously to the socio-economic development of the country. The Sector consisting of 36 million units, as of today, provides employment to over 80 million persons. The Sector through more than 6,000 products contributes about 8% to GDP besides 45% to the total manufacturing output and 40% to the exports from the country. The SME sector has the potential to spread industrial growth across the country and can be a major partner in the process of inclusive growth. SMEs have also played a significant role in Nation development through high co...

Nursery Rhyme : ट्रैफिक ट्रैफिक ग्रीन लाइट पर सरपट जाएँ  येलो पर कुछ स्लो हो जाएँ  रेड लाइट होते रुक जाएँ  अपनी अपनी लेन में जाएँ  जेब्रा पर ही क्रास करेंगे  नहीं सड़क पर खेल करेंगे  नियमों के सब साथ चलेंगे  दुर्घटना से हम सदा  बचेंगे                     - प्रदीप गुप्ता  @ copyright 2016

Nursery Rhyme with Twist :    शिशु  गीत -दादा जी  दादा जी की लम्बी दाढ़ी  दिखती जैसे जंगली झाडी   पियें दूध इस पर चमके है हलवा खाएं इधर लगे है  टावल हैंकी न उन्हें सुहाए  हाथ इसी से  साफ़ हो जाए  बिजली जब भी उड़  जाए  काम फैन का करती जाय         Copyright Pradeep Gupta 2016

बंपर   के   पीछे  है बंपर  उल्टा फूंक दिया है मंतर  मीलों लम्बा जाम लगा है  पॉलूशन से रोड भरा है।  हर कोई अपनी कार में निकले  धुआं धुआं है दम सा निकले  किसको बोलें किसे बताएं  कार छोड़ कर बस अपनाएं  हवा स्वच्छ फिर हो जाएगी  उम्र और कुछ बढ़ जाएगी 

I am staying in Bombay from 1986, in between I had short stay in Hyderabad, Lucknow, Rudrapur and many other cities across the country . But even when I was away, Bombay had always been in my mind. There is no such city across the globe which can compete with it in terms of safe nightlife, street food, vibrant festivals and above all the Bombay spirit which give fair opportunity to every one who dare to dream. But this is also true that world's biggest slum clusters thrive in Bombay, even the most posh areas of the city are next to slums. the fact remains that these slums are a shame to the Government, Netas as well as to Babus. After all these slums have not grown up in a week are two, these have grown up gradually, systematically with full patronage, blessings of these three elements - while these slums are vote- banks for Netas and  milching cow for babus and police. Slums are the places where human being is compelled to live in below sub human conditions.People are devo...

                     Mexicans, while preparing their food, think of balance. Of course, they love acidity in their cooking, and that's what makes it so appealing to eat. Though it's a function of living in a warm climate--the same reason Thai cuisine is also fond of citrus, it's a necessary form of preservation--the culinary benefit has outlasted the necessity. When you have something rich and heavy in your taco--like, say, hunksof pork shoulder what have been slow cooked in lard to become authentic carnitas --it is always accompanied by a bright, refreshing salsa to counter balance it. That's something that's unfortunately lost in translation with so much Americanized Mexican food: the acidity. Americans aren't as fond of it. The typical Mexican restaurant, serves rich, heavy food that sits in your stomach for hours. Cheese, beans, ground beef, all of it flavorful but nothing to set it a...
