Along with sub standard infrastructure and vast geographical area developing effective channel relationships is not easy. This is because of lack of loyalty and skills in rural channel partners. When any company enters a rural market a lot of decisions need to be made but the most crucial is the one addressing distribution channels. As rightly said in the book “Supply Chain Management” by Chopra and Mendi - “An inappropriate network...

...life, the only kind of work that he knew was working with ranches in the Salinas Valley and the Monterey coast. When he was through with high school he went on to study at Stanford University. He was not much of a college guy though. After he was through with that he had many different little jobs. Until, finally he published his first novel in 1935 called Tortilla Flat. After Tortilla Flat, he began to build a successful career out of his writing. He published a best-selling novel in 1937, Of Mice and Men, a story about poor ranch hands in California. He had great sympathy for the “Okies”, migrant farmers from Oklahoma, which led to him writing The Grapes of Wrath. The Grapes of Wrath became a best seller and it won him a Pulitzer Prize. This novel is ultimately what launched him to the level of fame he had. Not all of his works take place in California though. Some of his other famous works are The Moon Is Down, taking place in a Nazi controlled Scandinavian village, The Pearl, dealing with the tragedy facing a Mexican family, East of Eden, considered to be his finest novel, and many others. Steinbeck has been cited as an author with “great feeling for nature, for the tilled soil, the wasteland, the mountains and the ocean coasts…in the midst of, and beyond, the world of human beings.” Also he’s noted for “a strain of grim humor which to some extent redeems his...

...John Steinbeck: Chrysanthemums Analysis The authors’ use of vivid details draws the reader into the lonely world of Elisa Allen. The dismal setting at the very onset of Steinbeck’s short essay, allows nature to become a part of the overbearing shadow of Elisa Allen’s hopelessly trapped existence. From the closed off valley to the fenced in garden, Elisa’s mundane covered pot imprisons her needs on various levels. As the story states, “It was a time for quiet and waiting”. She waits to be appreciated and taken seriously by her husband, Henry. She waits and longs for a meaningful sexual relationship that will have depth and substance in the prime of her life. She waits for a chance to fulfill her dreams of adventure, and yet even though she is strong, proud and willing she is never given the opportunity to discover who she is or what else she may be capable of doing. The strong, sturdy, beautiful chrysanthemums become an extension of Elisa. For when the flowers were well taken care of by her planters’ hands, they bud, thrive and grow into outstanding sturdy blossoms that are the talk of the county. She too would like to bud like the flower, to be opened up to new awakenings, adventure and feelings of appreciation and beauty. The fact that she longs to be a part of something bigger than herself is seen in the numerous brief trancelike depictions of her physically being at the ranch and yet looking toward the horizon at what possibly lies just out of...

...RAB NE BANA DI JODI (A match made by God) Runtime: 164min 4secs Tagline: There is an extraordinary love story in every ordinary Jodi. Language: Hindi Written & Directed by: Aditya Chopra Dialogues by: Jaideep Sahni Hindi cinema has been a major point of reference for popular Indian culture. It has been an effective instrument for shaping and expressing popular Indian sentiment. Movies by Yash Raj studios, especially, have been the most widely distributed and well-received. Concepts of love, marriage, family, and a shallow look into a more meaningful existence, are those most frequently addressed by these films. Kitsch like this arises out of a failed attempt at art or simply because art has had to take a backseat to the more foreseeable advantages of a commercial undertaking like the movie to be analysed, ‘Rab ne bana di Jodi’. Synopsis Surinder Sahni (Shah Rukh Khan) works for Punjab Power and leads a simple life, until his simple life is turned around when he meets & instantly ends up in love with young & bubbly fun-loving Taani (Anushka Sharma) on the eve of her wedding.

...Family Ties or Societal Knowledge: Take it or Leave it Set in the rural south during segregation in 1960s, Alice Walker visibly notes the theme and importance of heritage in her short story, “Everyday Use.” Walker presents a family with different perspectives of the definition of culture. There’s Maggie and Mama as “backwards” and uneducated, but they understand their history and heritage, meanwhile Dee has the education and sophistication but is clueless of the actuality of true family history. Walker deems the importance of heritage, suggesting that passing down tradition through generations keeps the bond alive; but these characters choose to dismiss or celebrate their heritage despite the attempts to work for a middle ground in order to balance the extremes. Ultimately, Maggie's roots are deeply and firmly planted in the cultural soil of her family's traditions, unlike Dee who was always ashamed, hating her rural traditions and upbringing. Dee sees her roots from a disconnected view of admiration. Dee’s perceived by the complex, materialistic, modern way of life where heritage is valued by its trendiness. While Maggie and Mama, on the contrary, represent the simple practice way of life where culture holds personal substance. Both have different approaches to life and virtually opposite of one another. Dee knows it is okay to want the best and is described as a confident and fearless young woman: “At sixteen she had a style of her own,” and “hesitation was no part of her...

... Once upon a time long, long ago, two ambitious young cousins named Pablo and Bruno lived side by side in a small Italian village. The young men were best buddies, and big dreamers. They would talk endlessly about how someday, someway, they would become the richest men in the village. They were both bright and hard working. All they needed was an opportunity. One day that opportunity arrived. The village decided to hire two men to carry water from a nearby river to a cistern in the town square. The job went to Pablo and Bruno. Each man grabbed two buckets and headed to the river. By the end of the day, they had filled the town cistern to the brim. The village elder paid them one penny for each bucket of water. "This is our dream come true! "shouted Bruno. "I can't believe our good fortune." But Pablo wasn't so sure. His back ached and his hands were blistered from carrying the heavy buckets. He dreaded getting up and going to work the next morning. He vowed to think of a better way to get the water from the river to the village. Pablo The Pipeline Man: "Bruno, I have a plan," Pablo said the next morning as they grabbed their buckets and headed for the river. "Instead of lugging buckets back and forth for pennies a day, let's build a pipeline from the village to the river." Bruno stopped dead in his tracks. "A pipeline! Whoever heard of such a thing?" Bruno shouted. "We've got a great job, Pablo. I can carry 100 buckets a day. At a penny a bucket that's...

Alex was going on a vacation, to take time off from his job of growing bacterial cultures in little Petri dishes. He was studying the effects of mucus on Staph cultures in a somewhat grungy laboratory in London. He forgot to wash up his last batch before he went off, and when he came back two weeks later, he saw an amazing sight. A mold was all over the dish, but all the bacteria were dead. To cut a long story short, Alex, or rather Dr. Alexander Fleming, found the mother of all disease fighting drugs, Penicillin. Blown in by dust on his Staph cultures. Many years later, Dr. Fleming was touring a new sparkling medical laboratory in the US. The place was very impressive and well equipped and scrupulously clean. After the tour his host made the remark “If you worked here, think of what you could have invented?” Dr. Fleming’s response was short and...

...Russian Literature Russia was the last of the great European nations to produce literature of more than merely a national interest. The reasons for this condition are various. Russia was the last of those nations to feel the impress o the cultural influences that periodically have swept through Western Europe since the Middle Ages. It was not until the time of Peter the Great (1972 - 1735) that she began to take her place in the affairs of Europe; it was the same monarch who made the first efforts to westernize his vast country. Moreover, the Russian language, the very alphabet of which seems fantastic to the Western eye, is quite remote from the languages of Western Europe and from classic Latin and Greek. Early Russian literature is of small interest, being largely of ecclesiastical import. In the later nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Russian literature, sespite its late awakening, became one of the most imposing bodies of literature of its time, eagerly read and profoundly admired the world over. The Russian have produced a body of literature that tend toward the morbid, the pessimistic, and tragic, but which in its very powered derived from searching the depths of human experiences is one of the greatest literature of Europe. Another marked characteristic of Russian writing is its realism; in contrast to the strong romantic quality of much western literature, Russian books turn their searchlights on the daily lives of men and women. They throw no glamour...
