1 Volume No. 5 From the Editor s desk September - October 2014 Issue No. 5 Over the years, aging as I am, I am turning more philosophical. So bear with me if you find this editorial a bit serious. A fundamental rule in physics that all of us studied in school is that Matter is neither created nor destroyed. The contrasts in life, or the extremes, balance out! So, If there is an up, there is a down. If there is happiness in a place, there is sadness elsewhere. If there is suffering, there is a blessing somewhere (we need to look for it!) If the winter was not so harsh, people will not enjoy the sun! If I have some weaknesses, I also have some strengths (focus on them!) If there was no light, we would not enjoy the shadow. If you come across a cheat, you will come across a good person. Where there is a lie, there lies a truth somewhere. If there is a birth somewhere, there is a death elsewhere! Look at it in a work context. A month of low, could be followed by a great month. There are days of frustration, preceded or followed by days of satisfaction. Long Service and Performance Awards - A Picture Album inside I could go on and on but people will stop reading what I write. I am not yet ready for that! This issue of Scribbles is a testimony to the balance of Life! We are celebrating happiness awards for Long Service and Performance. My congratulations to all those people who have put in years of dedicated service to the Group! Thank you. My congratulations to all those whose performances were recognised. Hope to see you receiving more! We are also mourning the loss of two young lives two colleagues in Cuddalore who died due to an unfortunate road accident. In their memory, I wish to say: I wish they had been more careful like many others, I wish they had taken fewer risks, I wish they had waited till morning to start their journey, rather than travel in the middle of the night, I wish they had worn helmets, and I wish before they took these risks they had remembered the people who love them and will miss them. Do take care of yourselves and remember life is too precious to take unnecessary risks. Ciao until the next issue. Guess Who?! Given at the bottom of each page are the tips that will lead on to the photo of the person on the last page.

10 Two-Wheeler Safety Don t pay with Road accident is the biggest non-disease killer of men in this country. More than a million people have died in road accidents in India in the last ten years. And another 4.6 million have been grievously injured or permanently disabled due to road accidents. Road safety experts also warn that the real numbers of fatalities could be much higher since many cases are not even reported. This means, families have lost their breadwinners and have been pushed to financial difficulties. The Planning Commission estimates that our country loses Rs.1.5 lakh crore every year as a result of road accidents and this is a massive socio-economic toll. Sanmar lost two precious lives in July this year. Both of them were young and active employees of Chemplast, Cuddalore. On 4 July 2014, P Sankar and D Reginald Thomas sped in the Panruti - Chidambaram highway at about 2.30 a.m. They were hit by a truck and while Sankar succumbed to his head injury and died on the spot, Reginald was taken to the hospital with severe head and shoulder injury, where he died. Sankar, 33 years of age, was married with a 3-year-old daughter and his wife on the family way with the second baby. Reginald, 29 years, yet to be married is survived by aged parents. Is it fate that made these two young men ride a two-wheeler without wearing helmets? What fault did their families commit to suffer this tragedy? While all of us are left with a traumatic sense of helplessness and loss, it is time that we learn some bitter lessons. Riding a two-wheeler is most vulnerable. Save yourself and others by safe and defensive driving. India: Road Safety Fact Sheet 1 or more road accidents death happen every 4 minutes 46 lakhs - number of people seriously injured or disabled in road accidents in India in the past 10 years years: Age group which is most susceptible to road accident deaths in the country 1 out of every 4 road accident deaths happens on a Two Wheeler Tamil Nadu has the maximum number of injuries from road accidents Uttar Pradesh-2 people dying every hour making it a state with maximum number of road accident deaths 20-number of children under the age of 14 who die every day due to road accidents in India 2 women die every hour due to road accidents in the country Top 10 cities with the highest number of road accident deaths (Rank-Wise): Delhi (City), Chennai, Jaipur, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kanpur, Lucknow, Agra, Hyderabad and Pune India has about 1% of the world s vehicles but accounts for about 10% of the world s road accidents 111% of under reporting of road accidents in India Top 10 countries with the highest number of Road Fatalities (Rank-Wise): India, China, Brazil, USA, Indonesia, Russia, Iran, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand crore have been incurred by insurance companies on third party claims in road accidents in the financial year of Sources: National Crime Records Bureau Ministry of Road Transport & Highways Law Commission of India Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority Global Status Report on Road Safety, Guess Who?! Clue No. 9: In 1967, the American Humanist Association named him Humanist of the Year.
11 your life! Follow these guidelines and drive safely No doubt, riding a two-wheeler is fun and is an easy way to get around quickly. But, it is also risky. Let us follow these safety rules and guidelines to avoid risks while driving on road. Wearing a helmet (approved by the Department of Transport); Making sure the helmet fits properly and is neither too tight or too loose; ensuring that the helmet is strapped properly; opting for a full-face helmet with protection all the way around is better. Riding smartly means using headlights, avoiding drivers blind spots and not making rapid lane changes and being cautious at intersections. Keeping a safe distance from other motorists and giving enough time to react to dangerous situations; riding in the part of a lane where you are most visible; Avoiding weaving between lanes. Not riding when tired or under the influence of alcohol. Respecting other drivers. Not speeding and knowing the local traffic laws and rules of the road. Developing riding techniques before going into heavy traffic. Having a pillion rider is a huge responsibility. Ideally, driving at a slow and steady speed and making sure that the pillion rider also wears a helmet. A two wheeler does not have ample space for any kind of luggage. Hence, carry all luggages small or big with abundant caution. Try to keep the load light and low. Ensuring that an emergency contact card is available so that in case of an accident, the concerned persons can be informed. To make motorbike riding safe, it is advisable that the handgrips are held firmly so that the rider does not lose control if the bike happens to skid. An erect body while driving helps in better driving. Checking on the brakes before each time the bike is taken out. Also, checking on brakes when the bike is collected after service. Conducting a pre-ride check to identify any mechanical defects in the motorcycle. During rainy season, there is a tendency for water to get into the shoes and brakes may not work. This also could happen at steep slopes, and it is better NOT SPEEDING up at the slopes. Servicing and repairing two wheelers by an authorised dealer. Always checking the tyres suspension and controls before hitting the road. Remembering to check the air pressure in the tyres, and keeping the correct tyre pressure when going on a long drive. This helps to travel safely on rough terrain and gives more fuel efficiency. Perfect positioning of the rider's foot while driving a motorbike is important and the best position would be a firm footing on the foot pegs. Ensuring balance is maintained, and the rider is near the controls. SAFETY Sanmar s innovative Special Settlement Scheme (SSS) came as a blessing to the grieving families of P Sankar and Reginald Thomas. The sizable contribution from the Special Settlement Scheme was a relief to the families who have lost their loved ones and bread winners so suddenly. This is apart from payments that the nominees received under a liberal Personal Accident Insurance policy coverage by the Group and other statutory payments like Gratuity and EDLI. We all pray for the welfare of the bereaved families of Sankar and Reginald. May their souls rest in peace. P Sankar Reginald Thomas Guess Who?! Clue No. 10: In 1971, The Farther Reaches of Human Nature was published and received the American Psychological Foundation s Gold Medal Award. 11

Abraham Harold Maslow was a prominent personality theorist and one of the best-known American psychologists of the twentieth century. Skeptical of behaviorism and psychoanalysis, Maslow worked to develop a more expansive theory of human motivation, one that could accommodate the powerful influence of biology and the environment while honouring the human capacity for free will. Entitled the hierarchy of needs, Maslow s theory provided the foundation for a wide-ranging program to reform the discipline of psychology.
