  • STOKING WANDERLUST Welcome the World 9999 BURGUNDY FOREWORD
    IN COLLABORATION WITH VERVE STOKING WANDERLUST Welcome The World 9999 BURGUNDY FOREWORD A TRYST WITH TRAVEL... The importance of travelling cannot be over-emphasised. St. Augustine said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.” When you embrace new influences and ideas that your journeys bring into your life, it will make you an incredibly rounded human being. Personally, I travel both for work and for leisure. Being on the road helps me discover untapped facets of my own personality — for each sojourn takes me to hitherto unexplored places or brings me in contact with different people, each leaving an indelible impact, small or large, on my imagination. All of us have our individual reasons to step out and explore new destinations. And yet, there are a few distinct patterns that have emerged in contemporary globetrotting. In this issue of burgundy, Ashwin Rajagopalan takes us through some interesting luxury travel trends, while Kanika Tekriwal shows us how the sky is the limit for travelling in ultimate comfort. Many individuals often plan their itineraries to fulfill their yen for a sport. Arjuna Award winner Rehan Poncha, who is satisfying his overwhelming passion for golf, picks some unusual courses to tee off from. Call it curiosity or just basic human nature, but we are drawn to visit spots that have been affected by natural or man-made calamities. That is why Maria Louis writes about our fascination for the morbid that fuels a travel phenomenon today. Sometimes when you are far from home, you realise that you have got skills that you have never used.

    INTRODUCTION Kingfisher Airlines Limited is an airline group based in India. Its head office is in Andheri (East), Mumbai and Registered Office in UB City, Bangalore. Kingfisher Airlines, through its parent company United Breweries Group, has a 50% stake in low-cost carrier Kingfisher Red. The airline had been facing financial issues for many years. Until December 2011, Kingfisher Airlines had the second largest share in India's domestic air travel market. However due to a severe financial crisis faced by the airline at the beginning of 2012, it has the lowest market share since April 2012. The airline had shut down its operations when on October 20, 2012 the DGCA suspended its flying license. This suspension had been due to failure to give an effective response to the show- cause notice issued by DGCA. However, The airline had locked out its employees for several days before this suspension. On 25 October 2012, the employees agreed to return to work. On 7 June 2010 Kingfisher became a member elect of the Oneworld airline alliance when it signed a formal membership agreement. Kingfisher confirmed on the 20 December 2011 that it will join the Oneworld airline alliance on 10 February 2012. Kingfisher would have been the first Indian carrier to join one of the big airline alliances. However on February 3, 2012, owing to bad financial situation and two days after the International Air Transport Association (IATA) clearing house suspended Kingfisher Airlines; the airlines participation to Oneworld has been put on hold. History Kingfisher Airlines was established in 2003. It is owned by the Bengaluru based United Breweries Group.

  • ANNIVERSARY EXCLUSIVES Lexicon: the Origins
    47 ANNIVERSARY EXCLUSIVES Lexicon: The Origins By, Dr.Suranjana Basak, MGMMC Navi Mumbai pic Where do I go if I want to read what Braunwald said? W hich book should I use to excel in clinical skills? What are my options post-MBBS? Whom should I ask? What if all that I gather is not exactly authentic? One night when these questions were haunting my mind, I sat with my Mac just Googling all the questions and trying to gather relevant answers. After an overdose of search results for 3 hours, I did what most college goers these days do- Call up another crazy friend of yours and blabber about all the time you just wasted. But no, this wasn‘t a waste of time. I can definitely say that now. So while I was talking (cribbing) to this friend of mine, he added to it. Turns out he was least bothered because he knew he wouldn‘t find any answers to this. Ha! The point is, someone was thinking about similar issues. A mutual friend of ours joined the conversation and she actually thought, ―Without guidance, medicine is a bizarre course to survive‖. History has taught me one thing more than any other- the ones who think differently, try to change things or start something new, have always been called ‗troublemakers‘. They then came together as the founders of ―something literary‖. So from the vague idea of creating ―Something Literary‖, to discussing the potential and the possible legal work, and other hard work that had to be put in, we planted the seeds of the first student driven All India magazine for the medical society.
