Lost in Translation!

Recently a website has been launched http://ruwiray.in, which aims at converting exciting stories in vernacular languages (primarily telugu) into english. There are a lot of ethnic Indians, residents and non-residents alike, who frequently visit the web to read about their country/state and its culture in English. However, there is a lack of quality writing on the internet to benefit the netizens. Though there are lot of English language newspapers based in the state of Andhra Pradesh, but their material is no match to the analysis and depth of Telugu language articles and short stories. This means there is a big gap between the readership demand and literature supply, which this website seeks to bridge.

Even people who are non-Andhraites can easily follow these stories in english and get a good insite on the Telugu language and culture.

This website will be sort of an online literary journal with translated content providing insightful analysis about society, politics, and movies through its non-fiction category and enjoyable leisure reading through its short stories.

Organizational Training During Economic Slowdown

Since training and development budgets are continuing to grow in most organizations and are often very easy to quantify, they are often the first to go during a cost reduction drive. As the output - Return on Investment (ROI) - is often not immediate and many training programs often fail to deliver what was expected, these are often treated by organizations as secondary activities which can be postponed till the revenues and profits improve. However such traditional approach to cost savings can be damaging for the organization in the long run. Because knowledge is more specialized and its shelf-life ever shorter, companies that have the ability to learn faster than their competitors by exploiting training and development initiatives as an integral part of their business strategy can have a significant competitive advantage. Reducing the training budget could often result in lowering the efficiency and effectiveness of staff which would in turn reduce the productivity and work quality...
