ALL Q-TEL TELEPHONE NUMBERS TO CHANGE

Dear Friends,

We wish to inform you that today (28th July 2010) onwards all Qatar mobile and fixed line telephone numbers are changed to eight digits in total. This change have already been announced by the regulatory authority, ictQATAR, via the media on 28th March.

The new numbering system is a direct result of the enormous population and business growth that Qatar has experienced in recent years and by undertaking this exercise now it will ensure there is a large volume of numbers available for use in the future.

The change will mean that the first digit of every number will be repeated, so numbers that currently begin with 3, for example, will now start with 33, and those starting with 5 will be 55. This change will apply to all telephone numbers beginning with 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. For example: 3152145 becomes 33152145; 4829382 becomes 44829382; 5210575 becomes 55210575; 6226881 becomes 66226881 and 7251849 becomes 77251849.

Emergency numbers within Qatar, such as 999, will remain the same. Similarly, numbers used for SMS, toll free and paging services, and numbers owned by the Ministry of Interior will also remain the same. These begin with 1, 2, 8 and 9.

Please be advised that once the changeover takes place on the 28th July callers, within Qatar and overseas, will hear an automated message asking them to dial the correct number. This message will remain in place for at least three months, after this period the call will be rejected.

The country code for Qatar will remain as +974. We will provide you with as much assistance as possible during this transition period and would encourage you to speak to your key account manager to ensure that all necessary changes are undertaken for your business needs.

Customers who have maintenance contracts with Q-Tel for their telephone distribution equipments (PABX, IP Systems, and Key Systems), Q-Tel technical team will take care for any changes/reprogramming required.

Customers who do not have maintenance contracts with Q-Tel for their telephone distribution equipments (PABX, IP Systems, and Key Systems), have to approach their vendors/installers to take care of their working system.

Another Hit

Office bearers meeting of INCAS Kannur District Chapter held at their head quarter on 23rd July 2010 strongly condemn implementation of user's fee at Trivandrum Intn'l Airport. They referred it as an unjustifiable undemocratic immature action.

Following persons expressed their views on this specific issue:

Mr. Suresh Kariyad : Expat organizations have to act on this

Mr. Ahad : We have to act on this

Mr. Niyas : We should discuss this in big circle

Mr. Aneesh : To be discussed with officials

Mr. Mohan : This is injustice

Mr. Ibrahim : This is an undemocratic action

Mr. Devanand : We have to take it to Govt. of India

SYMBOL FOR INDIAN RUPEE

Our Central Cabinet finalized symbol for our currency. Now onwards, our Rupee will have a symbol like Dollar ($) or Euro (€) or Pound (£).

The government had organized a symbol design contest with prize money of Rs 2.5 Lac. Entry of Mr. Uday Kumar, IIT post-graduate has been selected out of five short-listed designs as the new symbol for the Indian Rupee.

The growing influence of the Indian economy in the global space is said to have prompted this move that will result in the Indian rupee joining the select club of global currencies like US dollar, British Pound, European Euro and Japanese Yen that have unique symbols.

Be patient...........

TRUST

Trust is a very important factor for all relationships. When trust is broken, it is the end of the relationship. Lack of trust leads to suspicion, suspicion generates anger, anger causes enmity and enmity may result in separation.

A telephone operator told me that one day she received a phone call. She answered, "Public Utilities Board." There was silence. She repeated, "PUB." There was still no answer. When she was going to cut off the line, she heard a lady's voice, "Oh, so this is PUB. Sorry, I got the number from my Husband's pocket but I do not know whose number it is."

Without mutual trust, just imagine what will happen to the couple if the telephone operator answered with just "hello" instead of "PUB".

LOVE YOUR JOB, BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR COMPANY BECAUSE U NEVER KNOW WHEN YOUR COMPANY STOPS LOVING YOU

Extract of Mr. Narayana Murthy's Speech during Mentor
Session:

I know people who work 12 hours a day, six days a

week, or more. Some people do so because of a work

emergency where the long hours are only temporary.

Other people I know have put in these hours for years.

I don't know if they are working all these hours, but

I do know they are in
the office this long. Others put in long office hours
because they are addicted to the workplace. Whatever
the reason for putting in overtime, working long hours
over the long term is harmful to the person and to the
organization.

There are things managers can do to change this for
everyone's benefit. Being in the office long hours,
over long periods of time, makes way for potential
errors. My colleagues who are in the office long hours
frequently make mistakes caused by fatigue. Correcting
these mistakes requires their time as well as the time
and energy of others. I have seen people work Tuesday
through Friday to correct mistakes made after 5 PM on
Monday.

Another problem is that people who are in the office
long hours are not pleasant company. They often
complain about other people (who aren't working as
hard); they are irritable, or cranky, or even angry.
Other people avoid them. Such behavior poses
problems, where work goes
much better when people work together instead of
avoiding one another. As Managers, there are things we
can do to help people leave the office.

First and foremost is to set the example and go home
ourselves. I work with a manager who chides people for
working long hours. His words quickly lose their
meaning when he sends these chiding group e-mails with
a time-stamp of 2 AM, Sunday. Second is to encourage
people to put some balance in their lives. For
instance, here is a guideline I find helpful:

1) Wake up, eat a good breakfast, and go to work.

2) Work hard and smart for eight or nine hours.

3) Go home.

4) Read, watch a funny movie, play with your

kids, etc.

5) Eat well and sleep well.

This is called recreating. Doing steps 1, 3, 4, and 5

enable step 2.

Working regular hours and recreating daily are simple
concepts. They are hard for some of us because that
requires personal change. They are possible since we
all have the power to choose to do them. In
considering the issue of overtime, I am reminded of my
oldest son. When he was a toddler, if people were
visiting the apartment, he would not fall asleep no
matter how long the visit, and no matter what time of
day it was. He would fight off sleep until the
visitors left. It was as if he was afraid that he
would miss something. Once our visitors' left, he
would go to sleep. By this time, however, he was over
tired and would scream through half the night with
nightmares. He, my wife, and I, all paid the price for
his fear of missing out.

Perhaps some people put in such long hours because
they don't want to miss anything when they leave the
office. The trouble with this is that events will
never stop happening. That is life!! Things happen 24 hours a day.

Allowing for little rest is not ultimately practical.
So, take a nap. Things will happen while you're
asleep, but you will have the energy to catch up when
you wake.

Hence "LOVE YOUR JOB BUT NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR
COMPANY"

Have a great day ahead!
