Source : wikihow If you're getting paid to do something, you should do it, and do it well. But is it always that simple? What if you have a vague job description, a haphazard workload, and a very bad Boss who is only content when you look busy, but not if you're super efficient? Sad to say, but sometimes working at your maximum potential is punished. This happens a lot in larger organizations and retail. Let's say you and a co-worker must each enter the data from 100 files, or shelve 100 books. You hustle and finish an hour earlier than your co-worker, and there's not much else to do. Your boss or manager walks by, expresses displeasure at the fact that you're not doing anything, and assigns you to an unpleasant, and really unnecessary task because they don't like seeing you relax (even though you earned it by finishing your assignment faster, right?). What do you do? Quit? File a complaint? Or slow down? These instructions are here for if you decide to reward your own efficiency by using that extra time you earned for R&R--without your boss noticing. - Know what the standards are. At the end of the day, you still have to meet those standards if you want to keep your job. The main thing you should know is how much time your manager or boss expects you to spend on a particular project or assignment. Spend that amount of time on it--no more, no less (unless, of course, efficiency is actually rewarded in your position, not punished). If, for example, your boss expects you to spend 40 minutes on a task (because that's how long it takes most people) but you know you can get it done in 20 minutes, you should be able to sprinkle another 20 minutes of "fun time" in (broken up into 3-5 minute intervals) and still get the job done in 40 minutes.
- Create the illusion of furious activity whenever possible. Never have a clean . Fill your work area with several projects that you are in the process of doing (or not doing, as the case may be). Cover your desk with open binders, highlighted reports, and sticky notes all over the place—make your workspace look like a war zone. Remember to keep your wastebasket full, too, preferably with work-related debris. A good boss will see right through this, but your mean boss will be content to see youlook busy (because it makes them look like a good manager).
- Ask a lot of questions: Think up complex questions about tasks you have to do and ask them of your boss or coworkers. Ask questions frequently enough and everyone will think you’re really wrapped up in whatever task you're asking about. Be careful what questions you ask, though: you don’t want to sound incompetent.
- Open several of the applications you normally use for work and have them visible on your computer’s desktop. The applications, of course, vary depending on the nature of your work. For example, if your task is data entry, you should have one or more databases up and running.
- Be alert. Not working is like playing a sport or game. You’ve got to always be on your toes and ready for anything. Try to anticipate your opponent’s next move — for instance, does your boss always stop by at certain times? — and pay attention to clues (if you hear footsteps approaching, a chair creaking, or a flourish of activity nearby, it could mean trouble).
Watch out for Big Brother. Most large companies now monitor their employees’ computer usage. Learn about your company’s policies on internet usage, and learn about their monitoring efforts (it helps to make friends with someone in the IT department). If you can’t run afoul of the company’s policies without making sure you won’t get caught, don’t risk it.

50 per cent of all Indians are under the age of 25. That's 500 million youngsters raring to take India to the top of the world. Young Indians have achieved professional and personal excellence on a level unseen before and it's only the beginning.
So what drives Indian youth today?
1. Television
There was a time when, if you wanted a television set, you had to wait for years. In 1962, there were 41 TV sets in the country. By the early 1980s, all you could see on the small screen were Doordarshan's Ramayana and Mahabharata. That changed in the mid- and late-1980s when more people began owning TV sets. And by 1991, when the markets opened up and foreign broadcasters came rushing in, more than 70 million homes had TV sets with more than a hundred channels.
Indians now had real-time access to what was happening around the world. As a result, aspirations grew, and since then, the golden generation of Indian youth has not looked back.
2. Telephone
There is an addition to the modern Indian youngster's list of priorities: Food, clothing, shelter and the mobile phone.
When the mobile phone first became available about 10 years ago, it not only gave us the ability to communicate with friends and family on the go, but it also changed our social behavior. It created individual entities among the youth. Mobile ringtones define who we are and phone models are an indicator of our economic status.
As India's growth rate touches further heights, the phrase 'upwardly mobile' has been given a whole new meaning.
3. Technology
Whenever we speak of the successful Indian youth, the first thought that comes to mind is 1991. Because PV Narsimha Rao opened up the markets, Indians were exposed to the latest technology. A country that had just one car model all these years suddenly found itself spoilt for choice. And as the youngsters grew increasingly accustomed to newer technologies, they only increased their own values. Slowly, India Inc. began taking shape.
4. Internet
Indian youngsters today demand fast service, dislike waiting in line and want information of all kinds at their fingertips. Enter the internet. Ever since the late 1990s, when the web became an active part of our lives, youngsters have changed the very way they lived. No more going to the music store to buy music, they just downloaded songs. No more waiting for the daily news bulletin, the news was just a click away.
And as the years went on, more and more services offered online options. Today, youngsters use the web to book movie tickets, look for jobs, make bank transactions, and download recipes, place orders for clothes, books, perfume. Of course, writing letters has long become a memory thanks to e-mail.
5. Social Networking
Even as the power of the internet was being tapped into, along came a phenomenon that shattered all notions, right or wrong, about the web. Social networking was the big bubble as far as India was concerned. Millions hooked on to it and suddenly, the world became one big meeting place.
Social networking sites offered a kind of exclusivity that youngsters found difficult to attain in real life. They became more assured and confident. And this confidence from the online world rubbed off on their real lives too. They knew that they could achieve the same things as their 'friends' from across the planet. It was only a matter of time.
6. History
We've talked enough about how technology and liberalisation has changed the very way Indian youth look at life. What we haven't talked about is how our past shaped us.
Indians have always raised their children to be obedient, respectful and socialist. India has seen its share of tragedy since independence: wars, famine, disease; and it is this past that defines who we are intrinsically. Today's youth may want to adopt western ideologies or may want to "grow rich", but it is their upbringing as tolerant people that makes them humble, grounded individuals with a passion to succeed.

Bihar's Super 30 has done it again! Wards of a roadside vendor, mobile phone mechanic, private marginal farmer or truck driver and a class four employee have cracked the IIT-JEE this year.
"It may sound strange but it is true. Boys and girls from socially and economically marginalised families have passed the highly competitive Indian Institute of Technology-Joint Entrance Examination (IIT-JEE) this time at Super 30. All of us, including our students and their parents, are celebrating," Anand Kumar, founder-cum-director of Super 30, told rediff.com here on Wednesday.
This year, 24 out of the 30 students made it to the IIT-JEE from Super 30. In the last three years, all 30 from Super 30 had qualified.
This takes the total number of Super 30 students, who have qualified for the IIT-JEE in the last nine years, to 236, Anand said.
Thanks to Bihar's Super 30, Dharmpal Yadav son of a truck driver cracked IIT-JEE. He informed his father Ram Pravesh Rai when he was driving his truck in Kolkata.

"Papa, I have cleared the IIT-JEE," he said with tears of joy.
After that, he only nodded, as his father showered all his blessings on his son. The conversation continued for five minutes.
Next, Yadav called up his mother Radhika Devi, who lives in a village in Rasalpur, Vaishali district in Bihar.
"Papa told me I am the first from my village to make it," said an excited Yadav to his mentor and Super 30 founder Anand Kumar.

If nothing else, the Delhi police raid on Baba Ramdev's camp on Sunday has helped clear some confusion. The midnight swoop was unexpected, but we now know that the central government, which treated the yoga guru like an honoured state guest when he first arrived in Delhi, is his enemy.
Congress leader Digvijay Singh has described Ramdev as a "thug" and a "fraud". In turn, Ramdev has accused the centre of trying to murder him, and called senior minister Kapil Sibal "a liar and a cunning man". His supporters, or at least men claiming to be his supporters, have attacked Digvijay Singh's house in Bhopal. The Congress has promptly dubbed Ramdev a secret agent of the BJP. As you can see, a full-fledged war is on.
We also know that the BJP is going all out to support Ramdev. It has organised demonstrations all over India to protest against his eviction, and is complaining that the centre is unleashing Emergency-like terror against its political opponents. Senior leaders like L K Advani are seeking to meet President Pratibha Patil. At least 30 of Ramdev's followers were injured when the police started caning them in the middle of the night, and the government is nervous the outrage could snowball into something too huge for it to control.

It's now Team Baba (with full support from the BJP) vs the UPA. Anna Hazare and his team have expressed solidarity with Ramdev, and called off their meeting with the government on Monday over the drafting of the Lokpal Bill. But are they fully with Ramdev? Yes and no. They support his campaign against corruption but are queasy about the Sangh parivar jumping on to his bandwagon.
Already a cult figure thanks to his TV shows promoting yoga, Ramdev has been able to inspire many thousands to travel to Delhi to participate in his rally. He enjoys all-India appeal, and as a commentator put it, the government has reason to worry because his supporters are from the small towns, and they vote. The government knows how to handle criticism from urban intellectuals, who advance sophisticated arguments but do little by way of political action. With someone like Ramdev, the UPA government knows it has to tread carefully. It may already have lost some credibility by talking one moment to the guru and tear-gassing his supporters the next.

Delhi University has announced the first cut-off list for various programmes in different colleges. Since the colleges have to admit all students who fall within the announced cut-offs, colleges have erred on the side of caution and have announced slightly higher cut-offs.
The Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) affixed the cut-off for its B.Com (Honours) course at 100 percent for non-commerce aspirants. For B.A. Economics (Honours), the cut-off is 98.25 percent.
This year, Delhi University, one of India's premier varsities, did away with the application process for admission to its undergraduate courses. So the colleges declared the cut-offs on the basis of last year's marks.

Hindu College's cut-off for B.Com (H) last year was 93.25 %. This year the minimum cut-off is 95.5. But don't let these figures fool you. The fourth cut-off list last year admitted students with 87%. However, some programmes such as the Hindu's Economics (Hons) always attracts students with highest percentages. Admissions closed by the second list with almost similar cut-offs. This was also the case with B.Com (H) at SRCC.
So those of you who have scored between 87% and 93% - do not lose heart. You might still get into one of the coveted colleges by the second or third lists. You might have to settle for B.com (H) instead of Economics (hons). So keep the sprits up. The cut-offs may go up by one or two percent for some pricy courses. But for the bulk of colleges and programmes, cut-offs will hover around the same figures as last year.

Akshat, a baby boy over the age of one, registered his name in the Guinness world records for having a total of 34 fingers and toes.
He has set the record for having the highest number of fingers and toes and hails from the Bareilly district in Uttar Pradesh.
Amrita Saxena, the mother of the child, said it was difficult for her to believe that her son broke the world record, until a family friend convinced her.
"He (family friend) read on the internet about the baby born in China with 31 fingers. Then he said that my boy has broken the record of having 34 fingers. At first, I was not convinced at all. It was hard to believe that my son has broken the record. But later, he along with my husband and my younger sister registered the data in the Internet. Then I was asked to submit certain documents after which his name was in the Guinness World Records," added Saxena.
Doctors attending to the child informed the mediapersons that it was a rare phenomenon and diagnosed it as polydactyly.
"The person who is diagnosed with it is polydactylic. It is due to certain defects in the bone development of the uterus. The reason behind this defect can be either developmental congenital formation or chromosomal anomalies, which is due to maternal infection or drugs," said Dr. Parul Gupta, a gynaecologist.
Gupta further explained that this congenital physical anomaly could be easily cured by performing a surgery.

The Delhi Police detained veteran social activist Anna Hazare ahead of his indefinite fast over the proposed Lokpal Bill. The government went into panic mode yesterday, accusing the Gandhian activist of fudging his trust records and clamping ban orders on the venue of the fast. Arvind Kejriwal, another leader of the movement, has urged citizens to switch off lights in their homes for an hour from 8 pm today.

From medicines to medical check-ups; air-coolers at the Maidan to the overhead waterproof tents; from meals to snacks everything at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi is being taken care of by protestors themselves. Contributions, both in the form of cash and service, are pouring in at Ramlila Maidan for the Anna Hazare-led anti-corruption protests.
As day 7 of Anna Hazare-led anti-corruption movement saw the highest ever participation at Ramlila grounds, people continued to donate generously to the cause. Volunteers at the information kiosk at Ramlila said that people donated both in cash and cheques.
Some individuals and companies have taken up the financing of one complete aspect of the protests.
For instance, Jindal Aluminum is funding the set-up of tents at the venue. New overhead waterproof sheets are being set-up at Ramlila Maidan, as some parts of the old ones, which were not water resistant, were rendered useless in the rains on the weekend.
Jindal Aluminum was the largest contributor in India Against Corruption's protest at Jantar Mantar in April this year with a donation of Rs 25 lakh.

The DMA, which had also set up camp in Hazare's April agitation at Jantar Mantar, has the basic set-up for diagnosis and prescription for protestors.
"On an average, we have been seeing about 400-500 patients per day at Ramlila Maidan. Most of them come with dehydration-related problems due to lack of clean drinking water. We have the basic set-up here like checking for blood pressure, sugar levels etc. We also have stocked with electrolyte tablets and some medicines for headaches, dizziness etc," said DMA president Vinod Khetarpal.
