The institution of marriage has undergone great stresses in the Western society. High divorce rate and the trend of living together has resulted in broken families and troubled children. The human society developed and refined the institution of marriage over a long period of time. Although scientific achievements have provided the World with all kinds of amenities, the human beings have not changed at a basic level.

The human instincts such as joy, jealousy, love, hate, fear, pride and prejudice have not changed over the millenniums. The people still need stable family environments and friends to share life experiences. Being a first generation immigrant, I am always amazed when I read about the divorce rate in the USA. Looking within the South Asian community here, I find the divorce rate negligible. This diametrically opposite situation has prompted me to analyze the roots of a successful marriage. These statistics have led me to believe that unsuccessful marriage is a unique American phenomenon.

This problem has started to manifest in the second generation of immigrants who are born and brought up in this country. Since this causes a major disruption in the lives of children who are the future custodians of this great nation, it is worthwhile to study the factors that contribute to a stable family and marriage.

The successful marriages require support systems, common values, and shared aspirations in addition to love and mutual understanding. These aspects are discussed in detail in this article.

Cultural Uniformity
General observation shows that the couples in a successful marriage belong to a similar cultural group. By cultural group in American context refers to refers to Italian, Cuban, Mexican and Irish American groups. The other groups include Chinese, West European and Hispanic American. The culture is a broad term that includes language, music and literature among other things. These divisions may not mean much to European immigrants but they are in fact considered important in India and Pakistan.

A cursory look at ethnic newspapers reveals that people or parents are looking within the same group for marriage relationship.
The first generation immigrants generally marry within their cultural background and most of them have stable marriages. It is not suggested here that people should only marry within their own ethnic group. The successful marriages between people of diverse backgrounds require broad vision, maturity and freedom from all kinds of prejudices. As the marriages between diverse cultural groups have started to occur in the second generation of immigrants, so have the divorce rates started to approach American norms. In the USA, marriages are intermixed among people from European origins.

are no considerations for family or cultural background. The differences start to manifest soon after the honeymoon.
A better communication between people of similar background could be the reason for fewer instances of misunderstanding. The people of similar cultural background instinctively understand the likes and dislikes of their partners. For example, some people love dogs or other pets because they always had a dog or cat in their homes while growing up.


There are other people who consider dogs and cats as a nuisance that must be avoided at all costs. Some people like to congregate in-groups while others are brought up alone in a calm and quiet home. The differences are obvious if a person goes from England or Sweden to any place close to the Mediterranean Sea.

Role of Religion
It has been observed that religious people have successful marriages. This refers to both partners. If one of partner is religious and other does not share same ideas, it becomes a difficult relationship. The immigrants are more religious than their counterparts in the native country. The people back home in India, Pakistan and Mid East believe that if a person lives in America then he or she must be modern and liberal in outlook. A lot of marriages fail because of this particular misconception. The humanity in various parts of the World developed marriage as an institution and religion sanctified the relationship. The religion provides a code of ethics and standards of behavior that need to be followed. For example, the religious edict saying, " Thou shall not commit adultery" lays the foundation of relationship in marriage for both partners. This factor alone can reduce strain in a relationship as it gives certain level of assurance of commitment to the marriage.

Recognition of mistakes
It is never easy to accept and own the mistakes and saying sorry. The ego gets hurt and people tend to think that after saying sorry the other partner will gain an upper hand. Just by simply acknowledging the error or a mistake can resolve fifty percent of the conflicts. Most of the people who have a stable and successful marriage are very up-front in their relationship and never hesitate to say sorry.

On the contrary, small misunderstandings can resultin irreconcilable differences. The common response is to find equal and similar fault in the partner and reminding that he or she is even a bigger culprit. The preeminent reason in many of such instances is that both partners are not giving up any ground and differences continue to grow. This approach if avoided can result in a harmonious relationship. Forgiving and accepting apology leads to better understanding.

Economic Conditions
Better economic conditions do not mean that only rich people can have a stable marriage. The people should spend only what they can afford. This is one of the major causes of strain in marriages at all income levels. Some people at a lower income level have much better marriages as compared to the rich and wealthy people. The key is to keep the expenses within limits for both partners. In the USA, the temptations are unlimited. Everyday, people are targeted with advertisements for new cars, better gadgets, and idyllic vacations. The message comes across as if all these things do not cost anything. There are promises of no payment for a number of months. The human beings are psyched up to buy the things that do not need and vacation that they can not afford. After few weeks of bliss, the reality dawns when the payments have to be made and there is hardly any money available for essentials needs. At this point in time the blame game starts. In Europe and Asia, people buy the merchandize whenever there is a need. In the USA, the need is created. There are countless examples.

A simple one that comes to mind is the cellular phone. Some people need wireless communication for business or personal reasons. However, the marketing of wireless equipment make us believe that nobody can live in the next millennium without it. All of these small things add up. A large segment of population can not afford all of these modern inventions. The inevitable result is the strain on all relationships. The misunderstanding reaches the peak when the primary bread -winner in the family loses the job. On the other hand, the cost of food, clothing and housing is much cheaper in the USA as compared to Western Europe, Middle East and Asia. The people can live comfortably by controlling expenses and by staying married.

Support System
The availability of a support system is a great contributor to stable marriages. The support system is a network of friends and relatives that can be relied upon in case of any misunderstanding. Both partners can discuss the problem with their respective friends. By discussing the problem alone can put it in a proper perspective. In North America, there is a great emphasis on individual growth and independence.

This factor alone prohibits sharing of concerns and aspirations with friends. In the Eastern society, the extended family and friends provide a network that keeps marriages on track. The lack of this support system has started to manifest in the second generation of immigrants. The Americans can at least go to a psychiatrist to identify the problems. The immigrants lose the support system that was readily available in home country. They also abhor to seek in any kind of psychological help and thus face a double jeopardy. I have personally known a number of marriages in stress in the USA, while similar relationship would have been very cordial in their own country.

The solution is to develop a new network and also keep the old network alive by communication. The revolution in communication has brought the whole World very close. Now it has become possible to reach out to anyone at anytime. In the USA, one can find all ethnic groups from all over the World. The social and cultural links can now be very easily maintained. I have seen Korean, Indian, Chinese and Pakistani communities all across America. It is now possible to develop a network of friends within one own community who can understand the background of problems.

In South Asian communities, parents, brothers and sisters play a powerful role. If the parents listen to only one side of the story, then the marriage is doomed. On the other hand if they understand and appreciate the situation of other partner, then the marriage is strengthened. I have seen parents listening only to version of their own kids. It is very difficult to accept that their own kids could be wrong because it reflects their own failure. The key for the parents is to listen to both sides before placing the blame.

American Work Environments
The working environments in the USA are very dynamic as compared to any country in the World. The non- stop restructuring, new technologies have a great impact on the society. In order to keep up with the changes, people have to move in search of jobs. The neighborhoods get transformed in a matter of years. Sometimes it seems as if all America in on the move. When the people move, they get away from friends, relatives and familiar environments. The American born people are perhaps used to this kind of life. Most of the Americans quickly get settled in new environments, make new friends and never look back. However, people from the East come from very stable family systems.

The movement from one place to another uproots people and kids never develop lasting friendships. These relationships are a stabilizing factor in marriage. Whenever, there is a disagreement between the spouses, these are the people who can patch up the differences. The big dilemma is now how to reconcile the demands of career with the needs of a stable marriage. A simple advice for people on the move is to develop new friendships and also maintain old relationships. It has become very easy with the emerging technologies of Internet and communications.

Developing new friends can be easily done. In a new place, telephone directory research to look for places of worship and familiar surnames can be very helpful. Our experience shows that even random calling can result in finding very helpful people from any Asian or Mid Eastern countries.

Conclusion
In spite of great social upheaval in social norms during the past century, I find the institution of marriage still very strong. In the USA, people can live together without marriage and have children. The people in USA do not question the private life styles of other people. However, it is a surprise to see young Hollywood stars getting married who are supposed to be in the forefront of new liberal style. A large number of people get married again after bitter divorce. This indicates that there is something in the human psyche that propels people towards making a commitment to marriage. This fact was recognized long time ago and gradually the institution of marriage evolved over centuries. The challenge for our times is to keep the marriage intact. I believe it can be done and most of the marriages can be successful. The institution of marriage is a foundation for a stable society. We owe it to our future generation to provide them a carefree childhood with pleasant memories.

A master of man-power

An Organisation is defined as "a formal group of people with one or more shared goals." From a business point-of-view, an organisation is a means to achieve business objectives. Since people form the core of any organisation, so arises the need to manage these human resources (HR) for the sustenance and growth of business. HR managers do just that.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that to understand how progressive an organisation is you should look at its HR policies. Terms like "equal opportunity employer" are highlighted by some companies to convey that they have healthy HR practices.

The Importance Of HR

In recent years, HR professionals have perhaps seen the maximum upheaval in the approach towards manpower or HR management (HRM) as our economy has turned from machine-driven to knowledge-driven. In a business scenario where people are perhaps the only inventory that businesses carry, knowledge-economy companies cannot survive without a pro-active human resource management department that is capable of attracting qualified employees, retaining good ones by limiting job turnover, and improving employee productivity by offering innovative support systems and incentives.

This includes the basket of software, BPO and ITeS companies as well as highly manpower-intensive businesses like banking and retail companies.

HRM has moved from its primarily back-office status of being just a staffing function to a position where it is expected to play a central role in building and shaping the organisation.

What Is HRM?

Formally defined, HRM is engaged in the process of identification and development of suitable manpower resources within the parameters of the socio-legal framework of the organisation. Broadly, the functions include recruitment, selection, training and development, handling of compensation issues, personnel performance appraisal, staff welfare, business law, industrial and labour relations. Formal training is available at the master's level in the form of core specialisations either as part of an MBA or by enrolling at specialist institutes like XLRI, Jamshedpur, or the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Mumbai.Roles And Path

Career opportunities for an HR professional are:

HR Development: You start off as a trainee or at an executive level with either a mid-sized or a large organisation and get involved with functions like recruitment, induction training and motivational issues. These activities are directed towards development of the people in the organisation. As you grow into the role of a departmental head, you handle recruitment, performance appraisals, compensation design and evaluation as well as training and development. There is a clear vertical path in a large organisation that takes you to positions of general manager, vice president and director of HR. Unfortunately, few HR professionals take on the role of a CEO unless they start their own human resource consulting business.

Industrial Relations Managers: As an IR manager, you are most likely to work in an old-economy company such as large manufacturing organisations like Maruti, Bajaj and Tata Steel. You will focus on labour management and will be expected to handle all staff union-related activities. To grow, you should consider acquiring a law degree along with your HRM qualification.

Training and Development: As businesses aspire to become 'learning organisations' where people at all levels, individually and collectively, are continually increasing their capacity to produce positive results, the role of training and development increases. You are expected to create courses and deliver them. You need to have a very high level of presentation and communication skills, team orientation, sense of humour and flexibility to adapt to different adult learning styles.

This is a stimulating function for people seeking a cerebral role. In at least one large bank, HRM executives are engaged in conversion of their paper-based content into e-learning courseware and are responsible for interfacing with external vendors that offer course conversion services.

HR Consulting: This is one growth area that provides entrepreneurial opportunities to experienced HR professionals. HR consulting has acquired the status of a mid-sized industry with specialist firms like Mafoi offering consulting in virtually every area of HR to large organisations. With an increase in the requirement of temp (temporary) workers, these firms take on the role of a complete HR department that operates externally to an organisation for a fee. While working with any of these firms, you can start off in any one area of HRM and go on to specialise in it as you grow. The scope for lateral movement also exists.

A FUTURE for the PAST

The headquarter of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) - on New Delhi's Janpath - is buzzing with activity. The organisation , which has the mandate of protecting the country's vast archaeological heritage, is preparing to celebrate 150 years of its existence. A string of events starting December 20 have been planned. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will inaugurate the celebrations that'll include international conferences, lectures by distinguished archaeologists and outreach programmes.

The man coordinating the celebrations, the agency's director general Gautam Sengupta , says he is excited at the prospect of taking the ASI to the next phase. But he's also aware of the monumental challenges he faces (see interview), which are many.

Even after a century-and-a-half of its existence, the ASI has struggled to live up to the premise on which it was started. Instead of emerging as an organisation of excellence that sets world standards in preserving and showcasing India's rich historical past, it has functioned as yet another sarkari department, caught in bureaucratic sluggishness and operating at an antiquated pace.

"ASI's biggest problem is bad management ," says OP Jain, convener of the Indian National Trust For Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) and founder of the Delhi-based Sanskriti Foundation. "It doesn't run like a professional organization , with clear goals and accountability. There's little initiative to get things done, since it would mean more work, which nobody wants to do."

It's not as if the ASI isn't aware of its problems. It admitted its shortcomings to a committee set up by the PM under the chairmanship of former Union law minister Veerappa Moily. The biggest issue, it claimed, was manpower, pointing out that its current staff strength does not permit deployment of even a single person on fulltime basis at more than two-thirds of its monuments. With 3,676 monuments under its care, this means that virtually 75% of its monuments are unguarded. In order to augment its manpower, the agency told the committee, it will need to create additional posts of 10,000 monument attendants.

Hiring this additional manpower would mean an expense of a few hundred crores. Then there's need for specialists- apart from the attendants -who can help in conservation.

But would merely getting in additional staff solve the agency's problems? Chances are that they might simply end up as a burden on the exchequer unless they are trained properly and develop a love for heritage . For instance, when Sunday Times visited the Rani Kamlapati Mahal in Bhopal recently, the scant disregard for the monument was evident even as there were plenty of workers and ASI staff. The top two floors of the 18th century palace was a makeshift home for the workers, while the rest of what was earlier a seven-storeyed structure was a bath and wash area.

Historian Nayanjot Lahiri, a member of the Moily committee, says the ASI's record in preservation and conservation is far from inspiring. She cites the instance of the Buddhist stupa site at Kanganahalli in Karnataka as a case in point. "The state of the conservation here makes one cry. This is a site where the sculptures of Ashoka are of the highest quality, but they have been kept in a pathetic state."

It's not as if the agency is not capable of doing good work in restoration. Heritage management consultant Amita Baig points out several cases where the ASI has done a world-class job. "One only has to look at archival pictures to see the apalling state of most of our heritage, when the ASI came into existence. They have done seminal work in bringing these back from the edge of extinction," she says.

But over the past few decades, battling its myriad problems seems to have taken its toll. According to the ASI's own submission last year, 249 of its protected monuments were encroached or physically occupied by squatters. At Chennai's Fort St George, for instance - the first British settlement in India - the agency has been struggling for years to secure the fortress and clear traders who have set up shops tucked into the inner walls.

Training and staff morale are other major issues. An archaeologist working with the agency says there aren't enough avenues for in-house training. Also, promotions are sporadic. "The career path within the ASI is not clearly defined, which often leads to loss of enthusiasm among promising archaeologists ," says KN Dikshit of the Indian Archaeological Society.

Morale is also low at the ASI's Institute of Archaeology, once considered a premier centre for learning the craft. "The quality of the faculty as well as students graduating from it have gone down considerably ," points out Jain.

Sengupta says he is aware the agency needs to invest in its manpower urgently and also reach out to people more in order to showcase their work - an area where they have been woefully inadequate . But many feel that good intentions should be followed up with a time-bound action plan. "Being the largest government organisation doing archaeology anywhere in the world, the ASI is an important part of the country," says Lahiri . "What it needs is less celebration and more introspection. It needs a route map to rejuvenate the legacy it seems largely to have abandoned."

HISTORY KEEPER

ASI is the world's biggest state-run archaeology body It functions under Ministry of Culture, Government of India It takes care of 3,676 monuments spread across 24 circles within the country 116 of its monuments are ticketed It earned Rs 87.8 crore in ticket sales last year

‘Traffic police need funds, manpower’

PUNE: Traffic management in the city can be done in a more effective way if the city traffic police gets the required funds and manpower, police commissioner Meeran Chadha Borwankar said here on Thursday.

Speaking at a programme to felicitate citizens who have been helping the traffic police in solving traffic problems in the city, Borwankar cited the examples of Bangalore and Delhi where the government is helping the departments with required funds and manpower. The programme was organised as part of the road safety fortnight which is being observed till January 15.

Borwankar said in Bangalore, the police have got nearly Rs 124 crore in the last six years for implementing works that help in improving the road traffic conditions. Senior police officials including deputy commissioner of police (traffic) Vishwas Pandhre had visited Bangalore to study the traffic problems and the help that the traffic department receives from the government, she said. "In Delhi, not only does the government provide all the necessary grants to the traffic department, but it also has a huge manpower."

"The entire strength of the traffic police in Delhi is nearly 6,000. In Pune, the strength of the entire city police including that of the traffic branch is 8,000. The city traffic police do not get any grants for traffic improvement. The traffic police come in for criticism, but one has to realise our constraints. Citizens should take up the issues of availability of funds and adequate manpower with all the decision makers such as MLAs, MPs and so on," Borwankar added.

Shortage of trained manpower

VARANASI: While lack of infrastructural facilities are taking a toll on fire fighting arrangements in the city, scarcity of trained manpower ( fire fighting staff) along with adequate protection suit is also raising eyebrows.

The recent reports of fire station office indicate that there are around 140 firemen along with 15 drivers for fire fighting operations in the city. Most of them work without protective gears (fire protection suit), putting their lives at risk in the absence of these suits.

As per Subhash Singh, fire station officer (Chetganj), due to a lack of basic fire fighting machines and equipment, most of the fire fighting staffers are not updated about new developments in the field. In addition, they have to work in extremely challenging situation, sometimes putting their life at risk due to lack of proper fire fighting gears.

Also, only limited number of drivers (15) sometimes causes strenuous working hours for the staff as one driver and two firemen are usually deployed on motor fire engines for fire fighting operation.

Real Estate is a legal term (in some jurisdictions, such as the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and The Bahamas) that encompasses land along with anything permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings, specifically property that is fixed in location. Real estate law is the body of regulations and legal codes which pertain to such matters under a particular jurisdiction and include things such as commercial and residential real property transactions. Real estate is often considered synonymous with real property (sometimes called realty), in contrast with personal property (sometimes called chattel or personalty under chattel law or personal property law).

However, in some situations the term "real estate" refers to the land and fixtures together, as distinguished from "real property," referring to ownership of land and appurtenances, including anything of a permanent nature such as structures, trees, minerals, and the interest, benefits, and inherent rights thereof. Real property is typically considered to be Immovable terms real estate and real property are used primarily in common law, while civil law jurisdictions refer instead to immovable property.
