Dear Colleagues,

At the wake of this new financial year, I

am happy to share with you that we

have grown as a Company, broken old

records in many fronts and have set

some new challenges for ourselves for

the year 2011. All this had been made possible through

introspection and learning. Learning follows curiosity

and questioning. After observing the behavior pattern of

kids, I have come to one conclusion – they are curious.

They question almost every thing. This initiates learning .

On the path of life, we should never stop our learning

process. There is so much to know. Someone has rightly

said, “You can teach someone a lesson a day, but if you

teach them curiosity, you will make sure he continues on

the learning path”. Some tips to strengthen learning are:

• Teach someone else what you have learnt and apply it at

work place.

• Be curious and ask questions to learn more.

• Motivate yourself to concentrate to learn.

I am sure that all of us are ready to get, set, go and learn!!

Happy learning.

Dear Friends

This financial year is another year of

promise and another decade of

strengthening the TOPS brand across

the country. My personal con-

gratulations to all of you who made 2010

a rewarding year. We are setting new

trends for ourselves and I am excited by the markets as

India continues to the shine. It brings great promise in

consumer goods and we must scap the benefit. Together,

we all grow. Another aspect of this is to be a keen learner

and focus on what where and how to learn. There is so

much around us, the internet, books, media etc. All offer

learning and knowledge is in abundance. We must tap

these resources to learn.

Let us understand that for staying ahead we need to:-

• Start Learning: Technology is fast expanding and there

is information explosion. There is no fear and shame to

explore and learn the new.

• Continue Learning – Never Stop learning on the

grounds of age and other constraints.

I am sure, we all will definitely grow as an individuals

through learning.

TEN NEW LEARNINGS

1. In order to succeed, your desire

for success should be greater than

your fear of failure

Try not to become a man of success

but rather try to become of a man of value

2. Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you will land among

the stars.

3. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of

their dreams.

4. Ability can take you to the top, but it takes character to

keep you there.

5. Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to

continue that counts.

6. The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the

range of opportunity.

7. Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you

what is possible for your life.

8. Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is

more important than any other.

9. Until you value yourself, you wont value your time, until

you value your time, you will not do anything with it.

10. The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter

the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the thresh

hold of your mind.

Though I do not get much time during

my working days, still I keep on trying

new and novel recipes, since my husband

and daughter are very much fond of

different variety of food apart from the

normal routine food. I am sure you must

have tried (TOPS Custard Triful) and

liked its taste.

HUMOUR CORNER

Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered.

Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able

to give their elderly mother. The first said, “I built a big

house for our mother.” The second said, “ I sent her a

Mercedes with a driver. “The third smiled and said, “ I’ve

got you both beat. You remember how mom enjoyed reading

the Bible? And you know she can’t see very well. So I sent

her a remarkable parrot that recites the entire Bible. He’s

one of a kind. Mama just has to name the chapter and the

parrot recites it.” Soon thereafter, mom sent out her letters

of thanks: “Milton,” she wrote to one son, “The house you

built is so huge. I live in only one room but I have to clean

the whole house.”

Gerald,” she wrote to another, “I am too old to travel. I stay

most of the time at home, so I rarely use the Mercedes. And

the driver is also rude!”

Dearest Donald,” she wrote to her third son, “You have the

good sense to know what your mother likes. The chicken was

delicious.

Make small sized idlis with 'Tops' Idli Mix. Deep fry idlis in oil till

golden brown keep them aside. Make bhallas with “Tops” Dahi-

Bada mix, soak them in water and squeeze. Take curd in a bowl,

beat it and put small fried idlis and bhallas in curd. Sprinkle salt,

pepper, jeera powder and garnish with green coriander leaves

and sweet imli chutney. You can also add sliced boiled potatos

boiled chana and papri to make it even taste better.

Enjoy the new taste of a different kind of chaat.

“Health” The Basic Requirement “Tips to be Healthy”

It is very old saying that “HEALTH IS WEALTH” if one is

maintaining good health, he is considered richest person on

earth. Everything, we eat contains calories and everything we do

uses calories, including sleeping, breathing etc. To keep ourself

healthy, the following tips may be useful.

?Drink lots of water as research has shown that who drinks

regularly eight glasses of water everyday, their metabolism

improves which helps in fighting hunger urges. This helps in

weight loss specially in ladies.

?Regular walking is one of the best exercise, specially brisk

walking in the morning or evening. But one must consult his

Doctor before starting brisk walking. A daily walk increases

metabolism and helps in weight loss – those who want to loose

weight.

?Do not allow your regular office work to stress you out, since

stress leads to a number of physical and mental reactions. To

get relief from stress, the deep breathing or to watch calmly

your breath helps to a great extent.

?To maintain proper health, count your calories you consume

and the calories you burn, consume healthy food as per

requirement of your body needs. One must try to avoid fatty

food, such as wafers, cold drinks and chocolates etc.

?Research has shown that 'GREEN TEA' helps in burning

calories. Regular consumption of one to two (with low sugar)

cups of green tea a day can burn up to 60-70 calories. To

maintain good health, one must cut down on booze. Alcohol is

one of the major reason for putting on weight. One consumes

it knowingly or unknowingly so many extra calories through

booze. If one wants to control the weight gain – control your

Booze.

Follow your exercise routine daily, any exercise will help as per

your body's requirement. Do not over do any exercise. If one is

doing Yoga or going to Gym everyday, keep doing and be

happy. One must sleep seven to eight hours a day as lack of

sleep makes one unrested and lazy. Of course sleeping

requirement varies from person to person and age.

STAY HEALTHY – BE HAPPY .

Stay away from life threats. Stay cautious while walking.

?Walk on the footpath against the moving traffic, so you can

see on-coming vehicles.

?Carry your belongings on the shoulder that is away from the

road.

? Walk in the middle of the footpath.

?If traffic is approaching, let is pass. then look around and

listen for traffic if you are on bends or turns. Do not cross

until there is a safe gap in the traffic and you are certain that

there is plenty of time.

?Remember, even if traffic seems to be at a distance, it may be

approaching very quickly.

?When crossing the road, look out for traffic turning into the

road, especially from behind you.

?Always carry contact numbers of your near and dear ones

with you.

Caution can ensure safer lives!
