I'd like to say that when I was younger I knew exactly what I was doing with my life and where I was going - but the truth is that in the early years I really just sort of 'wandered about' without any clear direction or defined goals. And I do believe that some of the paths I did have in mind back then would likely have led to a destination I wouldn't be happy with today.But how do you know what you don't know?A colleague had asked me the other day about my professional trajectory, which prompted me to reflect on the extent of other peoples' influences on my life. This is a point I think I conveniently tend to forget - after all, doesn't it feel better to take all of the credit for your positive choices and successes?But in my reply to my colleague I reflected on two separate conversations I had in my early 20's: one with a more experienced coworker, and one with my boss at the time. I won't go into the details, but I will say that a couple of 20-minute discussions truly did change my life.These two people apparently recognized my strengths and understood my struggles. Their suggestions for my professional development came unsolicited; and as I look back I know I probably would...more

SME bauxite units in Gujarat are left in a quandary with the implementation of the new government resolution (GR), according to which, small bauxite units would no longer be given mining lease of the mineral. Under the new resolution, the government has kept the mining lease for the mineral reserved for a state-run public sector undertaking (PSU).The resolution has the small-scale bauxite units in Gujarat up in arms as they fear that they might have to close down their units if the mining lease is set aside only for the Gujarat Mineral Development Corporation (GMDC).Future in questionThe Gujarat government has reserved the mining lease rights of all the bauxite mines for GMDC, excluding areas that have already been granted licence or mining lease. This has put a question mark on the fate of 200-odd small bauxite players in the region, which are solely dependent on the mining lease for meeting their requirements.With the sole trading right of the mineral being given to the GMDC, small industries, involved in calcined bauxite production spread across Gujarat, will have difficulty in sourcing the mineral. This is likely to adversely affect the growth of the mining industry in the...more
