 MANAGEMENT TIPS that I learnt from KSM SIR . Tamil translation / தமிழ் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு  . (version 2) I learned many life skills and management tips from my mentor, KSM. I owe him a lot.  I worked at M/s.Premier mills, HOSUR for 8 years. But my last 365 days or so, under KSM Sir was unforgettable.  He meticulously molded me from a clay to a beautiful statue (to use an analogy). MY GATE PASS ERROR Once our dot matrix printer was under repair. We had some urgent printing to be done. Since the HCL Engineer didn't complete it in time, I had to take the printer urgently in our company car to HOSUR (HCL Engineer's room) from our factory 12 kms away. In the urgency, I forgot to fill out a mandatory form called, GATE PASS. It declares many things about the machinery taken out -- like manufacturing serial no.   model, taken out reason replacement or repair, person taking it out,  department (computer department) etc, etc. It may be returned in a day or even afte...

 My working experiences  Part [1] -   Teaching in a Village School (Near Uthamasolapuram) A few years ago, I happen to work as a Senior Teacher in a village school in Salem. It was an unique experience for me in life. The school management had in fact cheated me. But I digested that injustice and took classes to the young buds with great involvement and self motivation.  The school Principal, Mr.Muthukmar was a terrific gentleman. He gave me a free hand to explore and experiment in many areas in education. I was “almost” working as an Assistant Headmaster. In fact, today I can challenge that the students to whom I took classes can hardly meet another motivating teacher as me in their lifetime. I had worked with so much dedication and devotion.  The school was exactly 8 kms. from my house. Daily I went in a moped. I will have to travel 4 kms in town traffic and another 4 kms in National Highway traffic. Hence, I will have to follow two different styles in my driv...
