Mr. G.T. Srinivas Mebehalli WHC, Chitradurga district, Karnataka

Courage means different things to different people, one aspect of courage is seeing a tough situa�on through to the end. It is heartening to know that there are s�ll some people who despite challenges do not shy away from their responsibili�es. G. T. Srinivas, Business Associate at Mebehalli WHC in Chitradurga District, Karnataka, is one such person.

A few months back when the Zonal Head responsible for the area visited Mebehalli WHC at night for plant sani�za�on, he witnessed Srinivas' courage, presence of mind and sense of responsibility. About five (5) kms away from the WHC is a jungle, at about 1:00 AM a bear, about six feet tall, strayed from this jungle into the WHC premises.

Immediately Srinivas enlisted the help of some villagers (without panicking) and diverted the bear back into the forest.

In a water stressed country like India, where women o�en have to walk miles to collect drinking water for their families, a company called “WaterMaker” is making atmospheric generators which produce water from thin air.

WaterMaker is an organiza�on from Andhra Pradesh that produces clean and safe drinking water by running a wide range of atmospheric water generators in India. These unique machines produce from 25 litres to over 5,000 litres of pure filtered drinking water every day.

WaterMaker India has recently set up the world's first Water Sta�on at Jalimudi village in Andhra Pradesh to provide clean safe drinking water as part of its CSR ini�a�ve. The company is now working with its dealers to set up similar installa�ons in other areas.

Technology used in this product is based on dehumidifica�on techniques op�mized to condense water from air. Blower driven air is drawn into the system through an electrosta�c filter. In the machine's exterior housing, a compressor circulates refrigerant through a coil array located in the path of the air providing a temperature differen�al between the air and coil surface, resul�ng in condensa�on. The condensa�on is funneled into a holding tank. A level switch in the holding tank controls the water making cycle. Water is pumped into an ozone genera�ng UV light chamber to kill bacteria and then it is passed through high and low density charcoal filters to remove solids and oxygenates; water is finally collected in the holding tank. The water filtra�on cycle is both flow and �me controlled, water is dispensed by tap valve diversion.

Can drinking water be produced from thin air?

1. Needs no water source.2. Water is totally free from bacteria, viruses and harmful chemicals.3. Efficiently dehumidifies, recycles and cleans the air around.4. Environment posi�ve, no water wastage or rejects re- contamina�ng ground water.5. Secure and perennial water supply.6. Stand alone, point of use units which are scalable.7. Easy to set up, low on maintenance.8. Easy filter replacement.9. Adjustable cold water temperatures.10. Water produced costs 50% less that bo�led water.

Dayk¹ A poignant take on lives affected by violence and strife in some parts of the world, by way of an 'imaginary' le�er to the mother of a Kurdish fighter.

The background is the civil war in Syria, more specifically the struggle of the Kurdish community to regain their territories taken over by the ISIS.

thI am fine, dayk. Last evening our brothers here celebrated my 19 birthday. They sang for me. I missed you, more than anything in the world. If there was anything I need more than the dust to se�le around us, it was you. Yesterday, when Azad sang for me, he was weeping. He was missing his mother too. He lost his mother to the sulphur in their bombs. They say her lungs had melted and hung lose in her body. The gas was way too strong for her to breathe. Cowards they are, dayk, they have no respect and so they look at ours. Our Land, our water, our sisters, our food, water and shelter. Dayk, we are in a bunker on the eastern front of Kobani. Yesterday one of our brothers was shot in his face from the other side. There was a tall man with a long beard in a Toyota, looking towards us and shoo�ng. Our brother is OK now, he is being treated by our sisters. It's nice, dayk, some�mes we don't even know each other's names but here in the fire of hell we are together as brothers and sisters. We love each other and protect each other's back from those bearded men in Toyotas who are close to us. So close that we can hear their radio, see their black flags, some�mes we don't understand what they say to us but only hear the name of Allah in their filthy voices.

Tomorrow is a big day, dayk, tomorrow all our sisters, all nine of us are going to wipe them off in front of our eyes. Tomorrow is the day they will know what respect is, what Allah really wants, they will fear us like they always did. Tomorrow dayk, we are going to burn their base down and they say the guns from the sky with large wings will support us, those white amrikan men in soldiers' uniforms will fly and shoot with those guns. Tomorrow dayk, your daughter will live forever, for you, for our people, our land and our history.

Dayk, one old man has got us coffee, he is from the other side but helps us. I miss your coffee, dayk, I miss school, my sister and li�le brother. Those terrible people took him away and I will never forget that, dayk, I will live forever tomorrow. For now, I will enjoy this coffee, dayk, as this is all I have and I have to stay up for my sisters and brothers here. Your li�le darling has grown up, dayk, she has, she carries a heavy and rusted AK 47 and it earns her respect from the demons with the black flag, they fear your daughter.

I will come back dayk, for you, for my brothers, for our people, our Kurdistan and above all for respect �ll immortality. I miss you dayk. I see the sun coming up, it's �me. I love you dayk. I love you.

Forever yours, Your beloved daughter.Narin - Area Commander, Kurdish Peshmerga Forces, Kobani, Syria.

Thoughts and Expressions

¹ Kurdish for Mother

I recall an incident that happened in January 2011 when I was travelling to Kochi in an over-night train for a wedding. As is my habit, I had my valuables in a waist-pouch a�ached to my belt. Waking up at about 8:30 AM, long before the train's scheduled arrival at Kochi sta�on (commonly referred to as 'Ernakulum Junc�on'), I went to the toilet to freshen up.

While changing my clothes, I carefully placed the pouch on the small shelf above the washbasin. Suddenly, the train picked up speed and jolted, tossing the pouch off. I could only watch bewildered as it disappeared down the Indian style Water Closet (WC).

Ge�ng off at Kochi with just ̀ 50 that I happened to find in a side pocket of my travel bag, I felt miserable. My cellphone, my ID, ATM cards and a �dy sum of money were all in the wallet.

Anyway, I went to a PCO booth, called up my mother and asked her for the phone number of my friend who was supposed to pick me up from the sta�on.

“Your friend called,” my mother informed me. “She said your cellphone was being answered repeatedly by a boy called Kannan.”

That gave me a glimmer of hope and I called up my own mobile number. Sure enough a boy, who gave his name as Kannan, answered the call. As I explained my predicament and pondered the intricacies of reaching Koonathara (122 Kms away from Ernakulum Junc�on aka Kochi Sta�on), he volunteered to meet me at Kochi railway sta�on.

Kannan who looked about 17 years of age met me at 5 PM at the railway sta�on. Perhaps unsure of his own safety, he was mee�ng a stranger, he was accompanied by two (2) young friends. My pouch and its contents were returned intact.

I was stunned at the young boy's honesty and sincerity. The cash in my wallet, about ̀ 7000, was a lot for him, probably a daily labourer but what seemed to make him most happy was handing it over to its righ�ul owner. A�er examining the wallet, I pulled out some cash and offered it to Kannan, saying that it was a reward for his honesty.

“No,” he said, “I won't take it.” To me the cash was least important. Everything else, including my mobile with so many contacts and the cards were vital. With some coaxing, he finally accepted the money (my li�le reward) before we parted.

Looking back, I feel sorry that I have since lost contact with the young man, he didn't have a cellphone then. And come to think of it I now know that all the things in the pouch could really be replaced but not Kannan's honourable character. It feels good to know that such people do exist in today's world of greed and selfishness. Perhaps all is not lost yet!

What Really Ma�ers?

A real life “feel good” experience.

The Gi�

I came across this piece a few days back and was affected enough by it to share it with all of you. It shows how someone's mistake may wreck an en�re family while how a small act of kindness may give someone peace of mind and happiness. Read on!

I was standing in line to pay for my purchases at a store when I overheard the Cashier talking to a 5-6 year old boy just ahead of me.

The cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll.” The li�le boy turned to me and asked: ''Uncle, can you check if I have enough money?''

I counted his cash and replied: “I am afraid you don't, child.'' The li�le boy looked cres�allen. He was s�ll holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked towards him and I asked him whom he wished to give this doll to. “It's the doll that my sister wanted so much. I wanted to gi� it to her for her BIRTHDAY. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''

My heart nearly stopped. The li�le boy looked up at me and said: “I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait un�l I come back from the mall.” Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He said, “I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me but daddy says that she has to go to be with my li�le sister.” Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. “Maybe I made a mistake; let us check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''

“Ok”, he said, “I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The li�le boy said: “Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!”

Then he looked at me and added, “I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister.

He heard me!''

“I also wanted to have enough money to buy a rose for my mommy but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves roses.'

I remembered a local Newspaper ar�cle two days ago, which men�oned a drunk man in a truck had hit a car with a young woman and a li�le girl inside. The li�le girl died right away and the mother was le� in a cri�cal state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine because the young woman would not be able to recover from coma. Was this the family of the li�le boy?

Two days a�er this encounter with the li�le boy, I read in the newspaper that the lady had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and went to the funeral home men�oned. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beau�ful white rose in her hand with the photo of the li�le boy and the doll placed over her chest. I le� the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.

The love that the li�le boy had for his mother and his sister is hard to imagine and in a frac�on of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Please DO NOT DRINK and DRIVE and always be ready to help

Suman Kurapa�,Head – Service Assurance,

Opera�ons

In today's busy world when we are all so taken in with so many things and we find it difficult to priori�ze, pieces like the following may help us see things in the right perspec�ve. It is an insigh�ul write up that I came across recently.

When things in your life seem, almost too much to handle, when 24 Hours in a day is not enough, Remember the mayonnaise jar and two cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students, if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.’

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the en�re contents into the jar, effec�vely filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things, family, children, health, friends and favorite passions, things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would s�ll be full.

The pebbles are the other things that ma�er like your job, house and car. The sand is everything else, the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he con�nued, there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life.

If you spend all your �me and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So pay a�en�on to the things that are cri�cal to your happiness. Play with your children. Take �me to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. There will always be �me to clean the house and fix the disposal.

Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really ma�er. Set your priori�es. the rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand and enquired what the coffee represented, The professor smiled. 'I'm glad you asked'. It just goes to show you that no ma�er how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’

Life In Moments-Know Your Leadership Team Who is Ravi Ninawe? Ravi Ninawe is WHIN's Global Supply Chain Management Head and has

been working for WaterHealth for almost eight (8) years now. He is a

Mechanical Engineer from REC Nagpur with over 24 years of experience

in Procurement and Project Management.

Before joining WaterHealth, Ravi had worked for Bajaj Auto, Pune where

he started his career as a Graduate Trainee Engineer, followed by

Indorama Synthe�cs India, Nagpur where he played a key role in all the

projects executed by Indorama in petrochemicals, polyester and power

sector.

In his various roles he has developed comparable import subs�tutes for

high cost Japanese and European (origin) products, which led to significant savings.

l Where are you from? (Family background, the beginning etc.)

Nagpur, my father is a re�red Government Officer and my mother is a housewife. I have

three (3) siblings. My wife Mahima is a professional beau�cian. My family runs a Jewellery

business and I am the only member who is working in the corporate world.

l How and why WaterHealth?

Before joining WaterHealth, I was working for product driven and large companies most of

whom ran conven�onal businesses and were not socially focused neither did they create any

impact on the communi�es where they ran their opera�ons. Over�me I found my job to be

monotonous and devoid of any challenge or exposure to new areas.

At that �me I received an interview call from WaterHealth India at Vijayawada; I was

somewhat taken aback that I was called to Vijayawada [instead of Hyderabad where the

Corporate Office was located] however I realized later that the Company wanted me to get

exposed to their facili�es i.e. WHCs. During my field visit to WHCs, I realised the impact that

WHIN is making on the lives of communi�es [especially bo�om of the pyramid] by providing

them access to safe and clean drinking water at a highly affordable price. I therefore

accepted the offer immediately.

l The journey so far in life and in WaterHealth?

I had always been looked upon my by employers as a “Go to person”. I have been a part of

various cross func�onal teams (CFTs) delivering business goals throughout my professional

life.

Ravi NinaweHead – Global Supply Chain

Joining WaterHealth exposed me to an altogether different culture [which I was not used to]

and a leadership team that brought with them enviable track records and pedigree. To my

surprise, no member of the leadership team had previous experience in 'water'.

I was challenged when WHIN decided to source the equipment locally. With li�le knowledge of

the local vendor base, I had to make 'door to door' visits to the local distributors and educate

them on WaterHealth' s business model. It was a paradox that while in my previous jobs (as a

purchaser) vendors used to visit me, at WaterHealth I had to make mul�ple visits to suppliers. This

was an experience and learning about controlling one’s ego. With a lot of ini�al hard work,

WaterHealth established itself as one of the major players in the CWS industry and the Company

started to gain a posi�on of prominence. Life became much simpler once business stabilized

especially a�er WHIN's implementa�on of the BOOT project in Andhra Pradesh.

With my hard work, I am now a part of leadership team involved in making strategic decisions

about the Company, which has slowly but surely changed my approach to business.

l The bigger ambi�ons in Life?

I have a dream to create a chain of well organised and professionally managed old age homes that

would provide a decent standard of living to (neglected) old (des�tute) parents in major towns of

India.

l Message for colleagues, subordinates and other office mates?

Perseverance pays.

“You think I am on the edge,

But leap of faith is my new pledge.

You fear I'll destroy myself,

But this is to start afresh....

You are sad that I'm not living,

But I exist beyond bone and flesh.

You think I am silent again,

But I am hearing this song within.

You are concerned that I'd fail,

But it's your hearts that I wanna win.

You think I am on the edge,

But leap of faith is my new pledge.”Siddhartha Choudhary,WHI Head - Marke�ng
