NSM 09

Dear Jonaki,

It is a wonderful contest and I want to congratulate you for such a wonderful thinking to start such type of issues for which generally we discuss among each other but couldn’t get our result, but might be possible now we could get a recognition for our thoughts so as you have given very latest issue on which now days our colleagues are murmuring with each other.

First of all I want to concentrate my discussion about the issue that our meeting should held outside of India or within India!

NSM 09--------Our NSM 09 should held outside of India like BANKOK,MAURITUS  because we get a chance to go outside with our colleagues to discuss further planning and issues for best of our Family(company) once in a year so generally this tour is Sales Meeting cum Tour with our colleagues so I have various reasons for our NSM outside of INDIA:

*As Publishing Industry is very small industry so generally our distributors and our competitors discuss about these meetings and if we come from outside of India we proudly reply to our distributors, suppliers and competitors about our NSM and it make us very proud that we are in Brand and we are best in this industry so it enhances our Moral as well as motivate the young and new joiners that they have joined best publishing company among all publishing companies.

So our NSM should be Sales meeting as well as memorable Tour for everyone.   

PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE!

Daman and Diu!

 

Why? It’s unusual and is still unexplored and experienced for any sales meet or conferences by any one.

 

Logistical issues are obvious but I refrain. Come on we are talking about sales meet, I am sure the participants have comfortably reached to the most remote locations before and Daman is not an exception.

 

I know any beach is no different from other but if you are thinking of a beach destination it could also be Daman Diu.

 

Goa is very crowded and Chennai’s Marina beach sounds very uncool. Think about it!

NSM

International trip might sound very expensive but conducting the NSM in Bangkok is similar or might be cheaper compared to the Varanasi.

 

For example In Taj we paid the room rent of 5 K /per day and stayed about 5 days, which is equal to 25 thousand + travel expenses.

 

But flight ticket to Bangkok is 20 K to& fro and can be very well bargained when we book in bulk.

 

Even the room rents for a 5 star hotel is 1.5 K / Per.

The Pearson India Blog Contest

The sins we all committed in Colombo (or Manali, or wherever) are washed twice over, first at Jagannath Puri and then in the sacred waters of the Ganga in Varanasi. A hat-trick of visits to the holy cities may upset the pilgrim’s appetite for progress in worldly pursuits. I guess the time to be indulgent is here. Goa is a worthy location for a National Sails, oops, Sales Meet. And, with Goa as the destination, answering the why should not be a problem. In fact, the wise ones wouldn’t raise a question, but a toast to this suggestion. What say?

Hi!

I just read all the previous blogs written by Pearson people.

 

I was on three month leave, joined office yesterday.

 

It pains to read the death of a colleague Gopal Deb. I interacted with him on a few occasions for organising Maths books. He was most helpful and respectful. Loss of a life is such a painful experience for family and friends. They have to bear the loss, live with the pain and treasure the memories. I sincerely hope God gives them the strength and courage to bear the loss. I don’t know how to put it across but if we as a company who understands social responsibility could assure the family in some way that one of the younger siblings of Gopal Deb would be given employment with the company in future which would make the loss just a wee bit less painful.

Pearson vs TMH

Pearson & TMH locked horns once again in the field but this time round it was not an institute, school or University. This time it was a lush green cricket field and for a change we had cricket gear in spite of books and teachers manuals, at around 9.30 in the morning we started with formal introduction of teams. Binit Shukla captain of Pearson side called it right , and as we had unanimously decided earlier Mr. Shukla elected to bat. Opening was not too good for us as Amit Kumar came back hand in glove with a duck, as it was early morning dew and extra hard pitch because of which the ball was coming with some extra pace, bounce and swing, anyways I tried putting the scoring back on track but could only score 3 runs and joined Amit back in the benches. We lost 3 wickets in quick succession, it was only when Naveen and young turk Abhishek Shukla sent the TMH XI on the leather hunt and followed by some good partnerships we reached at 123, which we discussed in the middle and thought about it to be a lucky number for most of us and a winning total as well.

When we set our foot for fielding the conditions had changed and the pitch was not supporting the bowling side at all , but the fiery pace of Abhishek and Binit always kept the TMH openers on the backfoot, Abhishek got the first breakthrough setting the tone for the other bowlers to follow suite. I chipped in with my medium pace, to which three of TMH batsmen didn’t have any answer and went back to the bench one after other, It was then Amit’s turn to seek revenge who despite bruised shoulder fired two very good overs and got one wicket. TMH was five down but still not giving up, It was then Kamal  came down heavily on them with his medium pace sending one after the other back to pavilion.Finally TMH required 18 more runs to win with last pair on the ground but again a beautiful delivery by Kamal caught The Last Man standing with his Leg Before Wicket and that was the time when the PEARSON playing eleven and our team mates on the bench erupted with joy on the field and did a victory dance on the ground.

FW: Obituary

 

The sad demise of Gopal dev on 26 November 2008 at the young  age of 26  in a tragic accident is a great loss to his family and to all of us at The Pearson Education , particularly so because our young colleague was on his way to his sales assignment on the fateful day.

Gopal was a hard working and diligent co worker and friendly soul.  During his short stay in our organization, he worked as dedicated and sincere employee. His tragic loss has left a long-lasting void in our hearts and entire Pearson team. Lets us all pray to almighty god to grant eternal peace to the departed soul and strength to his old parents and young siblings to bear this great loss.

[:123:] Gopal and Mumbai and Cyclones

Dear everyone,

 

It’s been a hard few days. As most of you already know, our colleague Gopal Deb passed away late on Wednesday night, after a horrific accident. Gopal had been a member of the school sales team for the last two years or so, and was a popular member of the team. His parents flew in from Siliguri last evening, and the cremation took place late last night by the banks of the Yamuna. Let us pray for him, and for the strength that his parents and family will need to cope with this loss.

Condolence messages for Gopal have been received from senior management across the Pearson world, including Tim Bozik, Rona Fairhead and David Bell.

 

Mumbai has been under siege for the last two days. Fortunately all our colleagues are safe. However many of you will have friends or associates who were killed or injured or traumatised by the events, and many of our associates are still trapped inside the buildings. Again, I think the most we can do at this stage is pray for them, and that this crisis passes swiftly.

 

And in the meantime, a cyclone has been pounding Chennai for the last two days, and our staff there have been braving flood waters to come to the office. Today the office has been declared shut. However, our first major sales training initiative is taking place in Chennai, starting tomorrow. Despite everything else that happens, life must go on. Ranjani, Srini, Naval, JS and I will be in Chennai tomorrow, to kick off this major initiative.

 

Regards,

 

Vivek
