Dear All,

Namasakar.

Sorry for bothering u. But my sleep is gone due to this notice.

Pl. advise and help and take necessary action.



RE: Penalty order under section 207A(2) of the BMC ,10(A) of the Maharashtra Edu (cess) Act of 1962

No. AC/PN/473 of 2008-2009 H/E ward, Sr. No. 309612



GIST IN ONE PARA ( if u don’t have time to read full mail then at least read this Para and oblige)



A trespasser who has built unauthorized shade does not pay any rent to us (landlords), does not pay anything to govt of India, baths in open half naked, commits several nuisance, but does not pay even his property tax, does not keep his surrounding and toilet which he uses clean but due to rent act and delaying courts we can't do anything. And if landlord would like to develop his property he would bring injunctions after injunctions. And if he decides to vacate he will demand nothing less then Rd. 25 lacs. So this a reward to illegal settler enjoying all rights and privileges for free. And the worst is such migrants use school, hospital, and all other facilities of city for free.



We were tenants in an old building. In 1978 my grand father purchased this old building.

Since the earlier landlord was not staying in Mumbai one notorious tenant had inducted two trespassers in building and was making income out of it. We did not take any action on these tenant and trespassers. One trespasser is a dhobi running an cloth ironing shop with 4 people working for 16 hrs. His monthly income is Rs 70000/- pm + (they charge average Rs. 3/- , sari Rs. 10+, Suit Rs. 80/- +). One person does 200 clothes everyday. So 200x Rs.3/- x 4 persons makes it income of Rs.2400 per day so per month Rs. 72000/- pm. He pays no sales tax, no income tax, no service tax, and no profession tax no other govt levies. I m sure he is also not paying shops and establishment tax. He has no account to be maintained, no salary, no computers reqd to write accounts, no filing work, no returns so no professional fees to be paid b y him. So in short no overheads. Thinking poor as operates from a unauthorized shade dada's don't ask for chanda, puja contributions, alms etc.



However just to save his unauthorized structure he bribed BMC officials and got that structure assessed. Ideally municipal officers should have demolished same instead of assessing. But like whole of Mumbai have been converted in t slumbay this too was.



The assessment tax for six months is merely Rs. 100/- for this unauthorized shade.

This dhobi has not paid even this paltry amount who has by now bought several acres of land in UP, send lots of costly items to his family in UP. Has mobile. Pays electricity bills in thousands as same will be disconnected. But not paying the Rs. 100/-



Finally Bombay municipal corporation (BMC/MCGM) has given notice of 15 days to me for his default and warned that attachment of your immovable property will be done if the trespasser does not pay his liability as I am the property owner.



Can some one pl. advise as to how to deal with this situation?



Thanks and Regards,

The Municipal Commissioner,
MCGM
Mumbai

Dear Sir,
Namasakar.

Reg: dark yellow colour drinking water in Taps

Pl. note for last few days we have been getting yellow colour drinking water in our Taps. I have a collected a sample of same which I am sending to A.E. H/East.
Pl. note that there have been several deaths in Mumbai due to Diarrhea in last few months. I am sure news like this must not be letting u, ur staff and city fathers sleep well. After all u draw salary from this city and citizens of this city dying like this in 21st century in most advanced city of India ( though a third world country) is definitely a shame for any responsible person to do with city.
I sincerely request u to look in to the matter and take necessary steps to give clean, clear and potable water to heavily taxed Mumbaikars.

I support Anil Ambani for using pen power instead muscle power to settle his long unresolved issues.....Alok

SubjectNew ways of shaping public opinion
Main PointUsing advertisements as a means to inform and shape public opinion

The Ambani brothers dispute has taken an advertising turn with the ADAG group asking for people's views via front-page newspaper advertisements. (See samples in www.karmayog.org/redirect/strred.asp?docId=25829 )
a) What do you feel are the pros and cons of such a method of resolving disputes via public opinion and pressure?

Alok Tholiya replies: I too use opinion building measures like, seeing elders, community leaders, writing emails, blogs, etc and even attack thru RTI or media mails the person troublingg me but never ever I take law in to hand. Anil Ambani has done the same by releasing advt. against his issues. It is shameful that P.M. disliked his pen weapon where as we find many politicians and businessman in India and world over use muscle, mafia, Dawood to settle their issues. I m fully with Anil on his method of raising his issues.

If there is a dispute which is not getting resolved then u have fewer options. Either u take law in hand ( murder,rape,revenge,sabotage,etc) or create public awareness about the unresolved issue and atrocities/ effects on u.Createng public opinion,public pressure is most peaceful,lawful,and rightful thing. And it is rightly said mother also does not feed till u cry then as a suffering party u have to make hue and cry to get long and harmful issue resolved. In most other cases we see brothers becoming rivals or even blood thirsty but Anil Ambani has done it gracefully and peacefully thru press adverts. Hats off to him. Alok Tholiya tholiya@yahoo.com

The Chairman, Hinduja Hospital Trust,

Alok Tholiya (S.E.O.)

Past President: Pali Hill Jaycees Youth Club, Leo Dist. 323A, Lions Club of Vakola

THOLIYA BHAVAN. GR. FLOOR,

10th ROAD, NEXT TO REGENCY HOTEL,

SANTACRUZ (EAST), MUMBAI: 400 055.

Tel. 26125699 / M.9324225699.

tholiya@yahoo.com

The Chairman,

Hinduja Hospital Trust,

Mumbai,

India.

Dear Sir,

Namaskar.

Yours is one of the best managed and tension free hospital. May god bless Hinduja family for this big contribution to our Mumbai. Our family is has always been depending on this great institution for last 35 years.. However here are few humble suggestions:

  1. There are many grateful patients / neighbours / sr. citizens who would like to give their mite to this great institution in terms of time / money in their own humble way.Pl make one patients and hospital alumni. Last time my father was hospitalised at the same time when several patients from Gujarat Earthquake were flown in. You were running short of hands. At such times really local volunteers can be of help. Who will feel happy volunteering their time and efforts.
  2. The suggestion box are everywhere. But no paper / pen provided.. No one carries paper etc. when they rush to hospital. Encourage people to write something every day.
  3. Your costly medical machines are working but wheel chair etc. need to be serviced.
  4. There is lot of pressure on ward staff in the morning hours.. Simultaneously discharge timings are same before 11 am. Therefore thrice I have experienced delay in discharge and finally they charge for next day and I have to run to get same reversed. Make changes in discharge timings or increase staff in morning hours.
  5. Mostly doctor’s jr.. who has to make summary of patients treatment is never available in spite of discharge instructions by attending specialists. Why not ensure they come without repeated requests. There is always no bed available reply when one wants but there is always a delay in discharge. The impression it gives is that you don’t relive a patients till you have another ready. Bad for the name of Great Hindujas.
  6. Adult diapers given to my mother who is thin and slim and skinny (unlike me) were XL. Same were charged at Rs. 75 per diapers.Pl. note that diapers are available in different sizes and best diapers are available at Rs. 22/- Each. I do not blame management on this as there is always a shadow under the lamp.. Someone jr. is making negligent purchases and patients are paying for same.Pl. investigate all non standard items purchases.
  7. The Shirt and pent given to my mother were too large to be managed while walking. In spite of folding pyjama it was six inches out from feet. And overcharging physiotherapist (Rs. 300 for 5 minutes) was insisting her to walk but how can she with such pyjamas. Pyjamas should be with good quality elastic rather than nada (thread).
  8. Like our democratic system spoils elected representatives and they behave as raja's for life same happens to patients relatives after being discharged from ICU to regular ward.. In ICU as relative’s patients we had to do nothing and things were happening automatically. But in wards nothing was happening automatically. When my attending family members got frustrated on several issues and told me then I though over it and replied it is our patient handling and familiarization programme and that unless you do most of the things here then how will you cop up with patient at home after being discharged.
  9. However a white board/ Note pad is required with all patients bed for the points which patients relatives want to say, need attention to etc.. Several repeated request to Nurses bring no result as they don't move an inch without doctors instructions. And by the time either shift of nurse changes or responsible relative has gone for some reason and the issue keeps hanging. On 6th Feb we had pointed out repeatedly to staff and jr. docs about need to remove stitches of my mother which were done ten days before. Finally when I got face to face by chance / accidentally on 13th Feb. to the attending sr. doctor and pointed him our request only then he instructed the staff for doing the needful. By this time skin had started coming over stitches on scalp.
  10. Most relatives of patients complain that they are never easily able to see the Sr. doctor under whom patient is admitted. I can understand that time can not be guaranteed but following three things can be done to ensure that they can meet without much difficulties:
  • Staff must be informed and in turn they can inform patients that if everything goes well then doc comes on round between these times. Relatives will ensure that they will remain present during that slot.
  • Doctors if miss that slot then inform staff that what is rescheduled expected timings.
  • Finally most of the doctors have their clinics/OPD too. They be advised to meet in their chamber during OPD hours. I cud not see our doctor for eight days because same never coincided. We should avoid the chances and wait and anxiety and ensure that doctors lend their ear to right relatives which is only possible if same is part of management and not coincidence.Pl. Counsel them (relatives).Take them in confidence. After all they are worried, spending heavily and yet are in dark though you (hospital and doctor) are doing all best and right but sharing is as important as caring.

11. A system can be evolved where in if tests above certain level are being carried out then a need is explained and consent is taken.

12. All Govt. worldwide must introduce a system where jottings of patients/ relatives are maintained as record along with other medical records. This will reduce delay / negligence or at least bring same to record. In Niron Hospital, Santacruz when a patient had heamichuria (Blood in urine) and sonography was suggested at 5 pm but till 11 pm they could not get one sonologist and they have permission to run ICU??? But do we have any thing to prove this if something serious had happened? No.

  1. 26/11 attack on Cama Hospital was not a planned one. There target cud have been Times building or something else. And after such big issue which we have been able to raise at international level I don't think at least hospitals will be a target of terrorism unless there are some VIP admitted. Therefore not allowing relatives in to the lobby is inhuman. So many relatives are standing outside the building in the compound or on road. There are no toilets for them, no canteen, no benches. And they are bearing blowing wind of sea and bearing scorching heat in the afternoon. I don’t know what will happen to them in the monsoon.

Sir/ Madam, Our police have no time to review their red alert or such instructions. Our press is busy with bachhans, khans, page 3 etc.. etc. Pl. don’t wait for them for taking up human and common men’s issues. You have been doing good work. Think of sufferings of patients relatives. Let them in till inside lounge. You may send them up only against passes... I don’t mind if you put Rs. 10/- as entry to waiting lounge but give them shade. You are great human and will do the needful, I am sure.

14. You have been one of the first hospital giving best facilities to patients and their relatives. I can’t count but are like best canteen, lobby, water coolers, rest rooms for relatives of ICU patients, free incoming phone facilities, dietician, TV in lobby for even guests, etc. etc. Times have changed. You need to give net facility to them. Have two or three pc with net connections and you may charge for usage. But now relative coming in hospital for hours and days cannot remain disconnected with world/ office etc. etc. Or let patients alumni arrange and manage.

15. You have a tie up with a leading US hospital and gained a lot of modern management skills. Now impart same to other hospitals in India and of course on chargeable basis. My locality does not have a single good hospital. Nither they can afford nor have vision like yours. If they get training and streamlining patients/ hospital management then same will be a great boon.PL. consider same seriously.

16. LAST BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT: This suggestion I wanted to introduce with political objectives and not for my launch but of Shri Shiv Khera. However he is delaying his aggressive political launch and I don’t want to delay benefit to citizen of middle class.

You have benefits for patients below poverty line.. But what about middle class?

You are charging (by the way all institutions and service providers and even govt.) same to person earning Rs. Two lacs per annum and person earning Rs. 2crore per day like Amitabh, Shahrukh, Ambani, Tata, Birla, Mittal, Mallaya, Mayavati, lalloo, stock market king, Mafia, don, smugglers, Lootera EX ICICI Bank Chairman Kamat, Narayan Murti, Deepak parekh, Fraudsters Raju , Azim Premji, Monarchs and ex monarchs etc. etc. Specially facilities like ICU/ ICCU etc...

Imagine for a by-pass a person of middle class shells out Rs. 3 lacs and fortune five hundred co.. CEO Rs. 6 lacs (meager difference due to class of suite they choose. Is it fair, morally and ethically and economically?

Ask people to declare their income between a particular slabs. Give 50% discount for people below income of 5 lacs p.a.25% discount for people between 5 to 10 lacs. For 10 to 25 lacs pa full rates. Above 25 lacs charge 50% premium service charges.

When you touch ego of blessed monied people by giving them airhostess (earlier times before reservation started) looking and dressed Sisters, give them silky suits to wear decorate their door with names like names of suites in 7 star , special lift, special barber, special evening friends assembly ( when allowed), battery operated wheel chair, etc. Etc. Then their flattered ego will ask them to ask for premium category. They have money and they splash out in cocktails just to be on page 3 then they will also do same in the name of premium facility. But treatment to all is same. This will take care of your providing subsidy to middle class who are getting sandwiched in this era.

Thanks and Regards,

Alok Tholiya (S.E.O..),

My salute to Late Kewal Semlaniji...

My salute to Late Kewal Semlaniji...

> > I have met Late shri Kewal Semlani twice but his image is indellible in my mind.He was a great figher of RTI and a torch bearer. It is he who created awreness about RTI in millions including me.It is sad that he is no more.

I dont know whether aam admi ( common men) can create pressure on govt and ensure that people who have worked for countrymen are suitably acknowledged. It is sad that media also only glorifies the self seekers be it cricketers, filmies or alike who work only to serve their ends and yet get all the awards ( they may get their proffessional awrads but not the public / national award ) for doing nothing for others.

write to Prime Minister

Pl. give all ur problem and sufferings on PM's website. Link is given here.
Thanks and Regards,
Alok Tholiya (S.E.O.),

Dear Friends,


Also Please visit the following Link of Prime Minister of India and please write how our lively hood is affected and why buildings are falling and slums have come up.

xtraordinary times.....suicide avoiding

These are extraordinary times, and I would like to help u over come this. But no one can help u unless u have decided to help urself:

Ensure that u, ur parents, ur children, ur boss and ur staff all follow these mantras or else ve tumko le dubenge ( they will drown with u)..

Daily Wisdom for Troubled times

Get up earlier.
Go to bed later.

Work harder.

Finish what you start.

Learn one new thing.

Renew one contact.

Do not be copy cat and dont compare urself with the no. 1.Every one can not be no.1 Trying to copy their lifestyle, cars, the way they throw party, the way they dress etc etc is dangerous and will bring u under suicidal debt trap. Don’t run for costly work spaces when u can manage things better from a small industrial estate. And can sleep well without ant pressure.
Ask, "How can I help you?" at least once.

Make yourself visible.

Confirm if they have understood u right

Control expenses, wastages, anger, speed of vehicle, pilferage
Be of good cheer.

Take decision to expand only after due deliberations, no fancy/ whimsy ideas no borrowings

Save power, do not block windows, ventilations, doors, use CFL,

let central plant be not on for late sitters, provide smaller cabins or portable fans for such guys. Except for peak hours stop lifts not reqd...

cut on travel and phones, travel thru mass transport, reuse, refill, recycle,

Develop habit of emailing and video conferencing instead of flying.

I do not know why people r buying electronics gadgets with hundreds of features and frills but which they r not going to use/ do not learn to use. Why buy something for which ur supplier does not give training and then urstaff struggles to use, struggles to learn, under uses same. I am yet to find people who can utilize 50% of features of their PC, mobile, EPABX etc..

Do not upgrade for no reason. I have good investors but who r still using B & W monitors and 486 PC’s as their work does not demand higher configuration. But most others keep upgrading, under utilize and keep borrowing.

No car be allowed to be sold till 7 years.

Put all ur additional property on rent (demand good rent act from govt. to protect ur property from blood sucker tenants).

keep insured

be accident free, theft free,( these r very costly if not avoided)

best place to party is ur own office or home and not costly hotels

Reduce response time

increase salaries but avoid giving luxuries viz. costly cars, laptops, posh cabins, spacious offices, A class tickets( u wont spoil them and also they will save for future) and drivers.

Catch a break.
Or not.

Read again tomorrow. And tomorrow keeps coming so keep reading everyday. Till u become shock proof to recession.

Thanks and Regards,
Alok Tholiya (S.E..O.),
