That is exactly what many are tempted to do at the Hindustan Shopping Festival that has been going on at Era Mall, Meerut, since September 25, 2009. The festival, partnered by Hindustan newspaper, will continue to woo the people of Meerut and surrounding areas till October 24, 2009.
Marked by thematic decorations and lit up by the flavour of Diwali on the 6th and 7th October, 2009, the Festival has evoked a massive response so far from visitors.
Couple of Mahindra Two Wheelers placed in the Mall atrium, a Lucky Draw to be held in the third week of October as well as spot prizes for the visitors are some of the attractions of the Festival. A dance troupe performance and presence of VIP guests will add to the Diwali bonanza for the visitors.
As the event partner, Hindustan carried one announcement advertisement a day before the event began. Another announcement on the day of the draw and a post-event coverage of the Mall will also be carried by the paper.
Scaling new levels of progress

Starting last September, when the signs of world-wide recession became apparent, how tough was your role as a Group CFO to handle the grappling twin problems of liquidity and funding?QYes, the impact of poor liquidity and mismatch of cash flow was there globally and to which India was not an exception. Since we are dealing with nationalized banks consortium, banks have really helped us in funding during this period. Also our order book is of approx. 75% of orders from public sector where liquidity crunch was not that badly affected.ACan you share with us some of the broad measures that were implemented across the Group to tide over such tough times and what was the response of stakeholders to such measures.QOur focus remained on execution of projects at ground level which in any case would give you boost in project execution, monthly billing cycle and controlling cash flows. Our Systems, Processes and Governance was a focused development area. Our quarterly results were also very positive and on annualized basis, our CAGR growth in term of revenue was 76% during last 3 years. Because of this, response of stakeholders was very positive and our stock prices also grew with better rate than Sensex.
A
Stringent cost cutting was the key mantra across the latter part of 2008 until now, how differently did Era go about it and how was the same communicated to members, keeping in mind the sensitivity of the issue.QWe exercised cost cutting in every part of expenses and overhead controls including business class air travel, consumption of stationery, electricity usage, control on conveyance and other related expenses. Rationalization in salary structure was introduced at senior level and I am happy to inform that each and every member of Era family participated happily without having any sensitivity on the issue.AOperating in an extremely capital-intensive industry wherein the availability of finance is axiomatic to the overall growth of the group as well as its reputation, how did Era deal with this situation. Can you give us a comparative with peers and what helped Era score well in this area.QOur growth in order book from Rs. 5000 Cr. to Rs. 7300 Cr. (year end 2008 to year end 2009) has given us area to work for higher deliveries which accounted for growth in turnover and in Business level. Our growth in terms of equipment bank for various capital items of EMD and RMC plant has given us advantage of earning well from various clients on hiring charges. This also helped us strategically for in-house usage. In recession hit scenario, most of the companies prefer on hiring, outsourcing rather than investing in capital asset. Our investment in past gave us this advantage.
A
According to you, has there been a genuine improvement in the state of affairs or is this an artificial surge and things are yet to completely bottom out?QYes, there is definitely a genuine improvement in the state of affairs as far as recession or slow down in economy is concerned.GDP growth rate has been more than 6% and is estimated to close near 7% by the fiscal year end. The Real Estate prices have started moving upwards and industrial production is also increasing that all indicates that we have left bottom behind us.
AGoing ahead, what message would you like to give to all Era members regarding the growth of both the Group as well as that of individual members. What can they expect from brand Era?QMessage to Era family members would be that as a group we are poised for tremendous growth opportunities which may come in future for us, be it in any of the segment of infrastructure growth, contracts, EPC, Equipment and also in terms of manufacturing of pre-engineering at our two plants in Pantnagar and Nagpur. Tower manufacturing facility is also under development and real estate projects are witnessing good response from market. Entertainment business will also get revived now and things are looking very positive for our operations in Zambia. With Sky Vision (Educational Society) getting operational for first session from April 09 onwards we'll have multi-faceted and multi-dimensional growth and we are very proud to have disciplined, dedicated manpower and resources available to take the group on newer and higher scales. That will become a new brand Era.

Concept of Green Building inCivil Engineering Construction
Expected Scenario of Building Construction Industry in India:
Construction Industry in India is largest sector after agriculture, contributes over 7% towards our GDP. The sector is forecast to grow at a pace of about 10% per annum for next 5 years against the world average of 5.5%. Consequent upon the development in Construction Industry demand for residential and non-residential houses, commercial space, shopping malls, hotels, other facilities and modern amenities are increased. In this new demand for over 12 millions homes, 600 shopping malls, 80 million Sq,ft. of office spaces and 200 townships along with airports, hotels, and Schools all slated for construction by 2010. According to a report by Global Reality Consulting Firm, “Cushman and walk field” the PAN India demand for residential proposes may up to 7.5 million units for 2009 to 2013, out of which 85% is expected to be in the mid segment and affordable housing and that for office space 196 million sq.ft.
Necessity of Green Building:
The building in which we live, work and play, protect us from nature's extreme and yet they also reflect the health and environment in countless ways. The design, construction, operation, maintenance, and demolition of building takes enormous amount of energy, water and materials and generate large quantities of wastage in addition to the pollution of air and water. As a multiple effect of the same and “Green House Gases” (GHG) mainly consisting of carbon- dioxide which largely originates from burning of fossil fuel causes the climate changes. The GHG remains in atmosphere for many years which warm the earth and causing the climate change. Green Houses effect means the trapping of heat between the earth and the lower layer of atmosphere. Earlier the heat reflected by earth used to go back in to atmosphere but due to Green House effect the heat is reflected towards the earth. This is a serious problem, because hotter atmosphere means the melting of the polar ice and increasing of the water level of the sea.
The terms such as carbon credits, Kyoto Protocol, CDM mechanism etc.are the Buzzwords, today and related to global warming caused by GHG. Another example of the danger to the mankind is Ozone Holes which caused by damaging ozone layer in the atmosphere by GHG. Ozone layer is as essential for the mankind as is the oxygen required for human life.
Green Building and Conventional building:
In terms of energy production and consumption, 40% of the total energy produced is consumed in buildings. India which has an estimated 18-26 years for the domestic oil reserve and 86% of its oil consumptions being imported, has taken a lead role in promoting green building coming close behind U.S., Australia and Canada.
Green building utilizes the design, material, which is environment friendly. They ensure pollution free environment and reduction in energy bills. Through smart energy management, building management, adoption of solar photovoltaic system, high performance windows and heat resistant paint among others. Green building is steadily increasing its footpath in India with an increase from 6000 SqM green space in 2003 to 304800 SqM expected by the end of 2009. Today varieties of green building projects are coming up in the country. residential complex, exhibition centers, hospitals, educational institutions, laboratory, I.T parks, airports, Govt. buildings, and the agricultural house are some of the examples. It is estimated that the 40% of the energy consumption in a building is on account of heating, ventilation and air conduiting or HVAC. Green buildings have provision for solar protection to prevent heat from the premises during the daytime. This helps in putting less of load on conduiting system to maintain ambient temperature within the premises. Weather sensor helps in optimizing the benefit offered by automated solar protection system. In winter, the natural heat can be allowed in the premises using the same solar shade and for controlling them, depending upon the sun effect and the heat entering in the building thereby helping the heating system perform better. The down sizing of active temperature management system (ACR and Heating) in the green building reduces the overall building cost.
Out of the total consumption of energy in a building approximately 35% is because of use of light in the day time. So the big question is how to reduce this energy consumption ?? The simple answer to reduce the energy consumption
is solar protection mechanism in green building. It ensures maximum utilization of natural light that result in reduction of consumption of electricity. Indian climate provides us natural light for quite longer duration and if luminosity coming can be controlled then this will be huge source of energy. This mechanism will also protect the premise from the glare and heat in the summer, and maintains the warm during winter. This helps in the increase in the comfort level of users as it enables natural ventilators, natural light and climate control in a natural way. So the overall experience in such building is quite soothing.
Future:
The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) estimates that demand for green building material and equipments will reach US dollar 4 billion per annum by 2010. Going for green is the latest trend among the corporate. In India also green building projects are expected to go up. Steps to be taken by construction equipment suppliers, developers, builders, architect and interim business sectors and the second to educate the end users in a way that they are responsible towards our next generation. Although the initial investment will be 4 - 5% higher than the traditional building but in the long run. The return on investment will be very high. Indian developers are realising this fast and may be with intelligent system and controls, we can manage the environmental constraints favorably to reduce energy system.

Points to PonderBuddha, one day, was on deep thought about the worldly activities and the ways of instilling goodness in human. The following is the text of conversation between him and his disciple.
One of the disciples approached him and said humbly “Oh my teacher! While you are so much concerned about the world and others, why don't you look into the welfare and needs of your own disciples also”.
Buddha: OK…Tell me how I can help you?
Disciple: Master, My attire is worn out and is beyond the decency to wear the same. Can I get a new one please?
Buddha found the robe indeed was in a bad condition which needed replacement. He asked the store keeper to give the disciple a new robe to wear on. The disciple thanked Buddha and retired to his room. Though he met his disciple's requirement, Buddha was not all that contended on his decision. He realized he missed out some point. A while after, he realized, what he should have asked the disciple?
He went to his disciple's place and asked him “Is your new attire comfortable? Do you need anything more?”
Disciple: Thank you my Master. The attire is indeed very comfortable. I need nothing more.
Buddha: Having got the new one, what did you do with your old attire?
Disciple: I am using it as my bedspread.
Buddha: Then…hope you have disposed off your bed spread.
Disciple: No…no…Master. I am using my old bedspread as my window curtain.
Buddha: What about your old curtain?
Disciple: Being used to handle hot utensils in the kitchen
Buddha: Oh…I see…Can you tell me what they did with the old cloth they used in Kitchen?
Disciple: They are being used to wash the floor.
Buddha: Then, the old rug being used to wash the floor…????
Disciple: Master, since they were torn off so much, we could not find any better use, but to use as a twig in the oil lamp, which is right now lit in your study room….
Buddha smiled in contentment and left for his room.
Moral: If not to this degree of utilization, can we at least attempt to find the best use of all our resources at home and at office….?? It becomes imperative in the critical time of Recession
The Diwali or Deepavali festival marks the victory of good over evil. The Sanskrit word “Deepavali” means “an array of lights” and signifies the victory of brightness over darkness. As the knowledge of Sanskrit diminished, the name was popularly modified to Diwali, especially in northern India.
On Diwali, the goddess Laxmi, a symbol of prosperity, is worshipped. People wear new clothes, share sweets and light firecrackers. The North Indian business community usually starts their financial new year on Diwali and new account books are opened on this day.
Hindus find cause to celebrate this festival for different reasons.
In the North, Diwali celebrates the return of Lord Rama, King of Ayodhya, with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana from a 14-year exile and a war in which he vanquished the demon king Ravana. It is believed that the people lit oil lamps all along the way to light the royal family's path in the darkness. In North India, the festival is held on “Amavasya” (or “moonless night”), the final day of the Vikram calendar. The following day marks the beginning of the North Indian New Year.
In South India, Diwali festival often commemorates the conquering of the Asura Naraka, a powerful king of Assam, who imprisoned tens of thousands of inhabitants. It was Krishna who finally subdued Naraka and freed the prisoners. It is celebrated in the Tamil month of aipasi (thula month) 'naraka chaturdasi' thithi, preceding amavasai. The preparations begin the day before, when the oven is cleaned, smeared with lime, four or five kumkum dots are applied, and then it is filled with water for the next day's oil bath. The house is washed and decorated with kolam (rangoli) patterns with kavi (red oxide). In the pooja room, betel leaves, betel nuts, plaintain fruits, flowers, sandal paste, kumkum, gingelly oil, turmeric powder, scented powder are kept. Crackers and new dresses are placed in a plate after smearing a little kumkum or sandal paste.
The celebration of the five-day long festival, Diwali, begins on Aswayuja Bahula Chaturdashi and concludes on Kartika Shudha Vijaya. The first day of this festival begins with 'Dhan Trayodashi' or 'Dhanteras'. After the Dhanvantari Trayodashi the second day of Diwali is 'Narak Chaturdashi', which is popular as 'Chhoti Diwali'. The third day of Diwali, which is also called 'Badi Diwali' is the main day of celebrations of the festival of Diwali. People perform Lakshmi Pujan (worship of divine Goddess Lakshmi) on this day and offer prayers to her to bless them with wealth and prosperity. The fourth day of Diwali is devoted to Govardhan Pooja (worship of Lord Govardhan Parvat). The fifth day of the Diwali is Bhai Dooj, the time to honor the brother-sister relationship.

Diwali - that auspicious time of the year
FocusAn ambitious and restless shishya was getting impatient with his guru's style of teaching one lesson at a time. He wanted to learn everything quickly and reap the rewards of this learning quickly. He finally expressed his desire to complete his course quickly and move to the next phase of his life. The guru nodded his head and told him to come to him early next morning.
Next morning when the student arrived, he found the guru waiting for him near the chicken coop. He then let the chickens free and asked the student to catch them all in the next one hour. The student ran about trying to catch one and then the other and finally at the end of his hour got exhausted and sat down dejected as he had not been able to catch any.
Then the guru told him, now I ask you to catch only the one with the ribbon round its neck. The student got up and despite all the other chickens running around him just went after the ribboned one and caught it with time to spare!. The guru smiled and said "Focus is not our ability to stay attached to the 'one' but also the discipline to avoid the distractions of the 'ninety nine".
But does this story apply to us in the age of multitasking? There are many things that we want to achieve in our life, but the trick is to focus on the single most important goal at that time and work towards achieving it instead of running after many things at the same time and probably getting too exhausted to do justice to each.
Prioritise and Focus on one thing at a time - then there will be time for all the other things as well.... and if you do it right... you may still have time to spare!!

Vishwakarma Puja DayLord Vishwakarma is said to be the architect of the universe. 17th September is celebrated as Vishwakarma day in across the India to worship lord Vishwakarma. Vishwakarma puja is observed on the kanya sankranti day which comes after the ganesh puja. The puranas says that he did the construction of dwaraka, where lord Krishna was the ruler and the maya sabha of the pandavas. He also made the weapon 'vjra' from the bones of sage 'dadhichi' for lord Indra. He is also known as the divine carpenter and is mentioned in the Rig Veda as deva shilpi (Architect of gods).The forth upa-veda was revealed by Vishwakarma and holds the position of authority of the sixty four mechanical arts.
Since the puranic age Vishwakarma is said to be Divine engineer. In Mahabharata and harivamsa he is said to be the son of vasu prabhassa and yoga siddha is described as the lord of arts.
Era is celebrating Vishwakarma puja at all sites/ plants spread across the country from 17th September 2009 by all Artisans, smiths, mechanics, welders and construction/ industrial workers to pray for a good future. Workers of all kind pray for safe working conditions and also for success in their field. People conduct poojas in the factories and Construction/ industrial areas, often on the shop floor/ construction sites/ projects. It is a custom of the workmen/ craftsmen to worship their tool in his name and they refrain from working with their tools on this day.
In modern sense, the legend of Lord Vishwakarma can be said to signify spirit of constructive creation, technological excellence and mankind's thrust for superior quality and reliability in all his efforts. Workmen/craftsmen worshiping Lord Vishwakarma on Vishwakarma Jayanti perhaps symbolizes this very notion of application of human intelligence for overall betterment of all the living beings on this earth.
September 17 every year is celebrated as Vishwakarma Puja — a resolution time for workers and craftsmen to increase productivity and gain divine inspiration for creating novel products.
