SURAT - RICHEST

AHAMEDABAD 5TH RICHEST

SURAT IS THE RICHEST CITY IN INDIA - not Bangalore nor Chennai

AHMEDABAD IS THE 5TH RICHEST, not Mumbai nor Delhi

HOW & WHY?

According to the August 8, 2010 report of the National Council of Applied Economic Research, the richest city in India is now Surat, ahead of Bangalore and Chennai, with an average annual household income of Rs 0.45 million (over $11,000 per year).

80 per cent of all diamonds sold in any part of the world are polished in Surat 's 10,000 diamond units.

The only non-Jews in the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem diamond bourse (stock exchange) are GUJARATIS.

Between 2004-5 and 2008-10 Surat 's middle class doubled in size and its poor reduced by a third.

The fifth richest city in India is now Ahmadabad, ahead of Mumbai and Delhi, and miles ahead of Calcutta.

The percentage of man-days (labour class, manual labour workers etc.) lost in Gujarat due to labour unrest is 0.42 per cent, the lowest in India. Gujaratis DO NOT believe in meaningless strikes, hartals etc.

Of Gujarat's 18,048 villages, 17,940 have electricity. Chief Minister Narendra Modi, has been voted as one of the most dynamic, hard working political leaders in the Country. You can see why. Amma, Didi, Behnji & Manmohan can do well to take a leaf from Modi's book of Excellence.
The world's largest oil refinery is in Jamnagar. Owned by Reliance, it already refines 660,000 barrels of oil every day and will double that this year.

Thirty per cent of India 's cotton is grown in Gujarat.

40 per cent of India 's Art-silk is manufactured in Surat.

Gujarat thus employs atleast 0.7 million people.

The world's third largest Denim manufacturer (for your trusty jeans) is Ahmedabad's Arvind Mills.

The state of Gujarat's GDP has been growing at 12 per cent a year for the last 12 years, as fast as China's.
India's wealthiest man, Mukesh Ambani of Reliance, is a Gujarati. Forbes says he is the world's fifth richest man, worth $43 billion.
Azim Premji of Wipro, is also a Gujarati. He is the world's 21st richest man, worth $17 billion.

Ten of the 25 richest Indians are Gujaratis. Some of the best & shrewdest business communities in India have proud Gujarati Ancestry. Parsis, Jains, Memons, Banias, Khojas, and Bohras - all speak Gujarati.

The two great leaders of the subcontinent, the Mahatma and the Quaid, were both Gujaratis from trading communities. One a Bania, the other a Khoja.

Gujaratis number 55 million, five per cent of India's population living on six per cent of surface area, but hold 30 per cent of all Indian stock.

Gujaratis account for 16 per cent of all Indian exports and 17 per cent of GDP.

Reality:
  1. Alcohol is a depressant, and can actually make you feel sleepy and drowsy. It slows down your motor skills, which control the way you think, speak, move and react. Alcohol also impairs your reasoning powers and judgment.
  2. Your blood alcohol content (BAC - the percent of alcohol in your blood) determines how drunk you are and not the flavors / the kind of drink you select. Alcohol is alcohol.
  3. A number of factors affect how one reacts after taking alcohol. Some of these factors include body weight; time of day, how you feel mentally, body chemistry, your expectations, and the list goes on and on.
  4. Nothing sobers you up but time. With coffee, you're simply a wide-awake drunk!
  5. Large amounts of alcohol, even if it is beer, can do major damage to your digestive system. You can hurt your heart, liver, stomach, and several other vital organs as well as losing years from your life.
  6. Alcohol kills more young people than cocaine, heroin, and every other illegal drug combined. Alcohol abuse is as grave a problem as drug abuse.
  7. Alcohol can actually keep men from getting or sustaining an erection, and it can lower women' sex drives, too. More importantly, alcohol affects one's decision making ability. One might put himself/herself in a risky situation like an unwanted pregnancy, contracting a sexually transmitted disease like AIDS etc under alcohol's impact.
  8. Drinking excessively can lead to alcohol poisoning, which can even cause death. Excessive alcohol can cause vomiting. When drunk and unconscious, a person may inhale fluids that have been vomited, resulting in death by asphyxiation. Long-term, heavy use of alcohol can lead to addiction (alcoholism), and makes one highly vulnerable to heart attack or stroke.
  9. Drinking occasionally and in moderation is not harmful but large amounts of alcohol can take its toll on your body, causing disturbed sleep, nausea, vomiting and a dreaded hangover. Heavy drinking can inhibit the firing of nerve cells that control breathing, a condition known as respiratory depression, which can even be fatal.
  10. Drinking on a full stomach can only delay the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, not prevent it. Eating before you drink is not a defense against getting drunk.

1. Though you may not publicly own to this, at the age of 12-17 years, you were very proud of your first "Bell bottom" or your first first Apache jeans.

2. Phantom & Mandrake were your only true heroes. The brainy ones read "Competition Success Review".

3. Your "Camlin" geometry box & Natraj/Flora pencil was your prized possession.

4. The only "Holidays" you took were to go to your grandparents' or your cousins' houses.

5. Ice-cream meant only - either an orange stick, a vanilla stick – or a Choco Bar if you were better off than most.

6. You gave your neighbour’s phone number to others with a ‘c/o’ written against it because you had booked yours only 7 years ago and were still waiting for your number to come.

7. Your first family car (and the only one) was a Fiat or an Ambassador. This often had to be pushed by the entire family to get going.

8. The glass windows in the back seats used to get stuck at the two-thirds down level and used to irk the shit out of you! The window went down only if your puny arm could manage the tacky rotary handle to pull it down. Locking the door was easy. You just whacked the other tacky, non-rotary handle downwards.

9. Your mom had stitched the weirdest lace curtains for all the windows of the car. They were tied in the middle and if your dad was the comfort-oriented kinds, you had a magnificent small fan upfront.

10. Your parents were proud owners of HMT watches. You "earned" yours after SSC exams.

11. You have been to "Jumbo Circus"; have held your breath while the pretty young thing in the glittery skirt did acrobatics, quite enjoyed the elephants hitting football, the motorcyclist vrooming in the "Maut ka Gola" and it was politically okay to laugh your guts out at dwarfs hitting each others bottoms!

12. You have at least once heard "Hawa Mahal" on the radio.

13. If you had a TV, it was normal to expect the neighborhood to gather around to watch the Chitrahaar or the Sunday movie. If you didn't have a TV, you just went to a house that did. It mattered little if you knew the owners or not.

14. Sometimes the owners of these TVs got very creative and got a bi or even a tri-colored anti-glare screen which they attached with two side clips onto their Weston TVs. That confused the hell out of you!

15. Black & White TVs weren't so bad after all because cricket was played in whites.

16. You thought your Dad rocked because you got your own (the family's; not your own own!) color TV when the Asian Games started. Everyone else got the same idea as well and ever since, no one came over to your house and you didn't go to anyone else's.

17. You dreaded the death of any political leader because of the mourning they would announce on the TV. After all how much "Shashtriya Sangeet" can a kid take? Salma Sultana also didn't smile during the mourning.

18. You knew that "Indira Gandhi" was somebody really powerful and terribly important. And that's all you needed to know.

19. The only "Gadgets" in the house were the TV, the Fridge and possibly a mixer.

20. All the gadgets had to be duly covered with a crochet covers and sometimes even with ingenious, custom-fit plastic covers.

21. Movies meant Rajesh Khanna or Amitabh Bachchan. Before the start of the movie you always had to watch the obligatory "Newsreel".

22. You thought you were so rocking, because you knew almost all the songs of Abba and Boney M.

23. Your hormones went crazy when you heard "Disco Deewane" by Naziya Hassan & Zoheb Hassan.

24. School teachers, your parents and even your neighbors could whack you and it was all okay.

25. Photograph taking was a big thing. You were lucky if your family owned a camera. A reel of 36 exposures was valuable, hence it justified the half hour preparation & "setting" & the "posing" for each picture. Therefore, you have at least one family picture where everyone is holding their breath and standing at attention!

You were really happy then...... peace of mind, no pressure no stress.
