Issue 5
Bajaj Electricals brings light Into the
many rural households across the heart
of our country. Under the Rajiv Gandhi
Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana about 7
lakhs BPL (below poverty line) homes
have been lit up in remote villages of
West Bengal, Orissa and Chhattisgarh.
We have already brought hope to
39,365 rural households in Chhattisgarh
and we are honoured to continue our
work to take the nation forward.
We are thankful to CSPDCL
(Chhattisgarh State Power Distribution
Company Ltd.) and NESCL (NTPC Electric
Supply Company Ltd.) who provided us
the opportunity to serve the people in
remote villages.
It is a proud moment for us at
Bajaj Electricals and indeed for the
entire country.

Celebrating
st
1
Anniversary
Its celebration time! And no, we aren't just talking about the New Year. Or may be we
are talking about the new year. A different kind of new year. From the perspective of
EPisodes, it is also a new year – our second year begins with this issue.
Exactly one year ago, our first issue saw the light of day. Five issues later, we have to say,
it's been a happy journey, and for which we have a few people to thank. Primarily the
support and encouragement of the management, and of course, you the reader.
But enough of the serious bit. On this the first anniversary of EPisodes, we've decided
that celebration means fun. So fun is what we're going to have. This issue, we're going
to focus on the anniversary, you the people at E&P and on a trip down memory lane.
For starters, we're sprucing up our editorial page itself. After all the hard work put in
over the past year, we thought we owe ourselves a bit of fun.
Of course, some of our regular features still stay. Work after all, does go on. Before we
sign off, we'd like to thank all our well wishers, all those who supported and encouraged
us, and especially all those who wrote in and contributed towards making EPisodes
what we intended it to be... a forum for everyone at E&P.

Happy New Year. Work hard and have plenty of fun. As you can see, we’re already
practicing what we preach.

renamed Engineering & Projects

E&P BU Chronicles
Past, Present and Future.
Darwin’s theory of evolution, while propounding that
only the fittest survive, was based, at the core of its very
premise, on the fact that all things evolve. As we
pondered on the content for this first anniversary
edition of EPisodes, the origin and evolution of our own
company seemed to be the perfect lead story. Yet, in
keeping with the anniversary theme of celebration, this
down-memory-lane piece will also commemorate
present and recent numbers, symbolic as they are of
our collective effort and success.
As we all know, Engineering & Projects Business Unit –
or simply E&P BU – is a part of Bajaj Electricals Ltd.,
which itself a part of the 72-year-old, ` 30000 crore
Bajaj Group, ranked amongst India’s largest and most
successful conglomerates.

It was in the 1960s, that Bajaj Electricals decided to enter
the turnkey projects execution space, and hence launched
its Contracts Division. Subsequently renamed Lighting
Projects Services (LPS), the main scope of its business was
providing lighting packages for power plants and other
industrial facilities.
rupee and period in time, it was a commendable effort. The
start was made, and growth followed immediately.
In 1994-95, LPS itself was renamed Engineering & Projects
Division (EPD). The change in name was more than just
cosmetic – signifying, as it did, a change in business
portfolio. The emphasis had shifted to design and execution
of electrical projects. No more was the company just a
‘provider of light’.
Humble beginnings... humble turnover too. A modest ` 2-3
crore. But then the entire division comprised just 6-8

The next wave of evolution unfolded in 2001, when
EPD commissioned its own dedicated galvanising and
manufacturing plant – today, a jewel in our crown... the
Ranjangaon Unit ranks amongst the top five integrated
manufacturing facilities of its kind in the world.
Today, E&P BU is a buzz of intense activity with a
network of offices across the country, and includes
over 800 engineers alone. The company clocked up
revenues of over ` 755 crore in FY 2009-10. A driver of
the company’s economic fortunes, it contributes a
third of Bajaj Electrical’s topline.
EPD itself underwent further transformation;
rechristened into its present avatar - Engineering &
Projects Business Unit (E&P BU), and trifurcated into
separate business divisions. A corporate structure as it
stands today, E&P BU comprises three divisions –
Highmast & Street Lighting, Transmission Line Towers
and Special Projects.
Indeed, the responsibility on us is great. But as we
always have, we will continue to rise to the occasion.
Let us delve deeper and discover what makes the three
divisions and the Ranjangaon Unit tick.

INSIDE STORY
Special Projects Division
The Special Projects Division has four core areas of competency:
Power Plant illumination
Power distribution and rural electrification
Sports Stadium lighting
Special lighting such as monuments, public utilities and sound
& light shows.
This Division returned a turnover of ` 265 crore in 2008-09, and is
targeting ` 335 crore for the current financial year. Over the years,
the Division has executed several prestigious projects, and its
achievements are worthy of a leader.
INSIDE STORY
For the last-mentioned project, the special designer
bracket has become so popular that it is now called the
CIDCO bracket, with municipal corporations across the
country opting for the same. The successful completion
of this project has given a major boost to the street
lighting business of E&P BU, necessitating the
consideration of a separate group to focus purely on
this business.
• Market leader in Thermal Power Plant illumination
packages with a dominant share of over 60% of all
power plants in the country. Some 20 ongoing
power plant lighting projects reinforce this status.
• Biggest power station illumination project at
Mundra for Tata Group.
• First rural electrification project at Janjgir Champa
district of Chhattisgarh. A
major achievement as more
experienced companies are
struggling to complete their
projects.
• Biggest single order for a rural
electrification project, worth
` 203 crore for Murshidabad
district from NTPCESL.
• Sports lighting for all outdoor
and indoor multi-purpose
stadia for three consecutive
National Games; 2002 – Hyderabad, 2007 –
Guwahati and 2009 – Ranchi.
With all the experience gained over the years in the field
of project management, the Special Projects Division is
now considering other diversification opportunities in
the following areas:
• Sports lighting projects for six cricket stadia,
including the first-ever stadium in the country using
the 6 high mast system and modern concept of
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system for
lighting control.
• HV packages for 132kV / 220kV / 400kV substations.
• R-APDRP Projects.
• Very prestigious sports lighting project for the
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, which will host the
finals of 2011 Cricket World Cup; and also Rajkot
Cricket Stadium in Gujarat.
• Complete electrification for power plants including
cabling, switchgears, DG sets, earthing etc.
• Integrated projects of illumination, building
management and fire fighting.
• Electrification of the world-class Bandra-Worli Sea
Link, now Mumbai’s biggest landmark.
• Sports lighting projects outside the country.
• Securing the order for Ornamental lighting project of
HRBC, Kolkata for the second Hoogly Bridge.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize
how close they were to success when they gave up.
• City Illumination project at Kharghar node of CIDCO
– the country’s first major street lighting project
using fully galvanized octagonal poles with designer
brackets and micro-processor based automatic
lighting control and energy conservation system.

INSIDE STORY
Transmission Line Towers
(TLT) Division
Transmission line towers form the backbone of
electrification. It is these towers that enable
power lines to be strung across huge distances,
and thus enable ‘transportation’ of electricity
from power generation plants to their sites of
application like factories, offices and homes.
The TLT Division boasts one of the finest tower
manufacturing facilities on the sub-continent.
Meeting every quality requirement, they have
been approved and appreciated by the country’s
biggest electricity boards and agencies. Official
global approval comes by way of ISO 14001,
ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 certification.
INSIDE STORY
The Division’s innovative efforts have also made Bajaj
Electricals the only company in India to have erected
two spans of transmission lines on Monopoles as high
as 42m. Monopoles are a modern alternative to
conventional and space-consuming lattice-type
towers. Requiring less than a fifth of the base width,
they are a godsend where land is at a premium either in
terms of value (upmarket urban neighbourhoods) or
topography (treacherous cross-country tracts).
Monopoles are the preferred option in developed
countries and the TLT Division’s pioneering efforts are
making them popular in India as well.
• For TNEB – 10 km Muppandal to Perungudi Single
Circuit Line; 12.082 km to LILO 230KV
Kayathar–Pudur line at Sankaneri Substation;
92.837 km line from Kayathar to Sankaneri
Substation.
• For MSEB – 40.1 km line from Vita Substation to
Ghatnandre Substation; 38.5 km LILO at Akola
Substation; 6 km 132-KV D/C line at Nashik.
• For PGCIL – 82.193 km for LILO of NelloreSriperumbudur line at Alamatti Substation; 61 km
line from Aravali to Mundka in Haryana.
• For RRVPNL – 12 km Sawai Madhopur-Sheopur
line; 51 km Phalodi–Aau line, Jodhpur; 61 km
Gharsana–Khajuwala line, Bikaner; 27 km
Dechu–Kalau line, Jodhpur.
The division boasts a showcase of several prestigious
projects...
• 144 km line from Khammam to Nagarjunasagar.
3500 MT of supplies including two river-crossing
towers.
• For APTRANSCO – 3 transmission lines of 132 /
220 / 400 KV (48 km) in Warangal and Vijayawada
districts of Andhra Pradesh.
• 8200 MT covering 200 kms from Ramagundam to
Hyderabad.
• 7000 MT covering 306 kms
spanning Hyderabad-KurnoolGooty.
• 5400 MT for the NeelmangalaMysore project.
• 4000 MT for MSETCL (MSEB)
project in Mumbai.
• 3550 MT for RRVPNL (RSEB)
project in Jaipur.
• 217 Telecom towers with the
capacity to withstand various wind
speeds, across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and
Goa for BSNL.
It’s a busy order book as well. Currently, the division is
executing several large turnkey projects for important
clients such as MSETCL, Damodar Valley Corporation,
Powergrid Corporation and Gujarat Energy
Transmission Corporation.
To date, the TLT Division has manufactured and
supplied in excess of 1,40,000 MT of towers. For the
Ramagundam project alone, some 18,700 MT of
400 kV towers have been delivered. In addition to all of
the above, the Division has completed a slew of turnkey
projects covering everything from route survey, supply
and foundation to erection, stringing, testing and
commissioning, for various State and Central power
utilities. These include...

With time, the Division extended its showcase to
design and fabrication of standard and customized hot
dip galvanized accessories like:
BHEL, IOC, Jindal, Essar, NTPC, ABB, MRPL and GMR
to name a few. Clients who are adequately serviced by
a 19-branch network, strategically spread across the
country and thus equipped for faster response and
turnaround, irrespective of where the client or their
project site is situated.
• Lighting Poles and Columns for Street/Area/Garden
Lighting
• Flag Poles
The operations of this division actually pre-dates its own formation.
While still LPS, the company entered into the highmast and street
lighting business in 1983. Subsequently, when E&P BU trifurcated into
its specialised subsidiaries, the operations were brought under the
aegis of the Highmast and Street Lighting Division.
Over the years, the volume of business has grown consistently,
prompting the company to set up facilities for design, development,
manufacturing, erection, testing, commissioning and servicing of
highmast and street lighting poles. The in-house competence now
extends to civil, structural and illumination design and development of
accessories.
Some of the divisions’s landmark installations include...
• Reliance Industries refinery at Jamnagar.
• Chennai Port Trust, Chennai.
• Essar Steel, Hazira.
• Jindal Steel & Power Ltd., Angul.
• India’s tallest (63 mtr) flag mast, in Haryana.
• Street lighting of the Western Express Highway,
Mumbai.
• Modern street lighting in Hyderabad.
• Upgradation of street lighting system for the 2010
Delhi Commonwealth Games.
• Banner Posts
• Polygonal Poles for traffic signals
• Polygonal Gantries for signages.
Forever with its finger on the pulse of innovation, the
Division has introduced India to GRP and CI & CA
poles. Made from strong polymer materials, GRP poles
are resistant to all known atmospheric conditions,
besides being available in different colours and shapes.
As a result, they are a high quality option to clients with
discerning tastes.
Cast Iron (CI) and Cast Aluminum (CA) poles
allow an amazing versatility, which sees them
used in numerous lighting applications on
streets, in gardens, pedestrian walkways,
approach roads, platforms, etc.
Such is the level of confidence and acceptance
of its offerings that the Highmast & Street
Lighting Division is now diversifying into solar
and wind energy products as well.
Documented confidence too... the Division’s
structural designs are validated by IIT, EIL, NTPC,
PGCIL, CPWD, Bechtel, PDIL, Toyo and many other
Government and private institutions.

To date, the Division has supplied and commissioned
over 1,50,000 octagonal poles and 21,000 masts all
over India – some as high as 63 metres. The demand
for these products have transcended geographical
boundaries, with deliveries being made to places as far
afield as Libya, Nigeria, Mauritius and Zambia, in
addition to the Middle East.
In every sense, the Highmast & Street Lighting
Division’s prospects are expressed in its very name. The
potential is sky high and the future extremely bright.
This division has indeed made great strides. Besides
contributing ` 250 crore to E&P BU’s last bottomline, it
has also captured a dominant 60% share of the
highmast and octagonal pole market in India.
The trouble with the world is that the stupid are so
confident while the intelligent are full of doubt.
Significant business has come from clients that
represent the heart and soul of India’s core sector –

Ranjangaon Unit
INSIDE STORY
This includes:
April 2001 remains a landmark time not just for E&P
BU, but for the entire company. It was in that month
that the world-class manufacturing facility was
commissioned at Ranjangaon, about 55kms from
Pune. It irrevocably changed the status of this sleepy
village, instantly putting it on the global industrial map
– now hailed as one of the five finest integrated
manufacturing facilities of its kind in the world.
Ranjangaon Unit quickly established itself as the
stadium at the 2008 Youth Commonwealth Games;
various stadia for 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games;
• 1000 ton 12 mtr long Press Brake with CADMAN
software from LVC, Belgium.
• CNC Profile Cutting Machine from MESSER
(Germany).
• CNC Submerged Arc Welding Machines from BODE,
UK.
• CNC Angle Punching and Shearing Machines from
FICEP, Italy.
• Remote radio controlled Hot Dip Galvanizing Plant
from GIMECO, Italy.
• Vacuum Plate Lifting Machine from Allen Wheeler,

single biggest factor in the company’s pulsating
growth during the past decade. Launched at an initial
investment of Rs. 45 crore, it features sophisticated,
state-of-the-art, computer-controlled machinery.
The hot dip galvanizing plant is environment friendly
and tunnel enclosed, with tank dimensions that fulfil
the needs of not just the entire in-house production, but
also that of external OEMs and contractors.

The ISO 14000, ISO 9001 & OHSAS 18001 certified
Ranjangaon Unit continues to be the jewel in E&P BU’s
crown, propelling the company towards newer
horizons and greater success. Suddenly, the coveted
figure of Rs. 1000 crore isn’t looking so distant or
daunting after all.
With business growing by leaps and bounds, the need
to augment capacities was felt. Exactly five years after
the Ranjangoan Unit became operational, a new plant
was commissioned; immediately doubling the capacity
of highmasts and octagonal poles. It has also helped
halve delivery periods, and thus enhanced the order
book too.
As all of Ranjangaon Unit’s produce enjoys widening
acceptability both domestically and overseas, the rub
off on brand E&P BU is tremendous. Manifested in the
increasingly larger projects that the company is
undertaking. For example, flood-lighting of the main

In the same way the canopy and poles can be lowered
and raised again when repainting or replacement is
required. This arrangement completely eliminates the
traditional but cumbersome man-rider procedure.
...and Outside
Every component is designed to withstand the vagaries
of weather. Even the exposed nuts, bolts and washers
on the high tensile foundation studs are hot dip
galvanized and the anchor plate and template are
treated with red oxide. Care is taken that the foundation
itself is designed and cast to safely withstand dynamic
loading at the specific site.
Another Bajaj Signature
The Bajaj Deco-M system of Umbrella Mast has been
designed, manufactured and tested for Indian
conditions. Which is really saying something given that
ambient and climatic conditions vary hugely across the
sub continent.
Innovation has always been a hallmark of E&P BU.
We have pioneered several advances in our scope of
business, introducing the country to avant garde
elements especially in lighting and transmission.
Umbrella Masts is another initiative.
The basic issue with lighting atop a mast – as is the
case with street lights and other outdoor lighting
systems – is that it is difficult to carry out regular
maintenance of the luminaires or repaint and replace
the canopy. With a single stroke of innovation,
Umbrella Masts circumvent these problems.
Down to Earth Solutions
Umbrella Masts comprise a movable system, which
can raise or lower the contraption as desired. When
maintenance of the luminaries is required or they
have to be replaced, a pulley arrangement lowers the
luminary housing perched at the top, bringing it down
almost to ground level. Once the maintenance is
complete, the same arrangement raises the housing
back into position high above the ground.
20
The panoramic umbrella is made from 5 mm FRP in
multiple segments and fixed on the carriage fabricated
from steel plate and other steel sections. The carriage is
also hot dip galvanized. The luminaries and their
control gear boxes are mounted under the FRP
umbrella. Ensuring that the entire Umbrella Mast is a
Bajaj exclusive design, even the luminaries are
products of the Bajaj Group.
The systems are designed by an in-house team of
experienced engineers using the advanced 3D
modelling program, TR. No 7 High Masts for Lighting
and CCTV (2000 edition). The same has been
published by the Institution of Lighting Engineers, UK.
Umbrella Masts installed by E&P BU are universally
admired for their all-round aesthetics and superb
functionality. Standing proud and tall, they literally take
innovation sky high.
E&P BU’s Umbrella Masts conform to stringent
standards of engineering. The hot dip galvanised mast
shaft must have the capacity to withstand prevalent
wind speeds. The shaft is therefore continuously
tapered with polygonal 20 side cross-section.
Fabricated from high tensile steel plates, conforming to
BS EN 10025 or equivalent, these plates have a
minimum yield strength of 355 N/sq.mm.
Meticulous Inside...
Functionally, the movable system comprises an
aluminium pulley mechanism with guides at the top for
channelling wires and cables. The base compartment
houses a self-sustaining, self lubricating oil-bath worm
driven motor operated winch.
The electrical connection employs a trailing cable
made from multi core, EPR insulated, PCP sheath
copper conductor of suitable rating, with a straight
coupling connector from the bottom to the junction box
at top. Additional wiring uses PVC cable of suitable
rating. An electrical control panel, constructed near the
mast housing controls, operates the luminaries.
A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't
change the subject.

In a country where cricket passion is always bubbling under,
and now threatening to boil over with the upcoming World
Cup, the country’s cricket stadia are nothing short of temples
of this popular sport. Which is why, the order received by
Special Projects division to illuminate the new international
cricket stadium near Rajkot, has created a buzz around
E&P BU.
RAJNI mania
Recently Chinese airports were closed due to heavy fog.
Later It was discovered that
Rajanikanth was smoking in India.
The project, commissioned by the Saurashtra Cricket
Association, demanded a flood lighting system that fulfils
stringent illumination requirements for international level day
and night games. The lighting parameters, that must satisfy
levels suitable for Colour TV / HDTV transmission, are in line
with the latest ICC guidelines.
The high-tech system comprises four polygonal, hot dip
galvanised high masts with fixed head frames. The masts are
manufactured at our Ranjangaon Unit. Each mast is fitted
with 112 flood light fixtures (2kW each) imported from
Abacus, UK. The entire scope of the project comprised
supply, installation, testing and commissioning of high
masts, flood lights, electrical panels, gear racks, power and
control cabling, centralized switching control and earthing
system. The order is worth ` 5.15 crore.
Well, well. It seems that your weight is perfect. It just happens that
you are eleven feet too short.
Rajanikanth did his KG from seven different places.
Today those places are known as IITs!

remains is the handover. The execution team was lead by Mr.
KN Satyal, HO Coordination and Mr. Hitesh Patel, Site incharge.
Once again, we will have succeeded in hitting India’s cricket
crazy public for a six.
When Rajanikanth stares at the sun in anger, the sun hides behind
the moon. This greatest phenomenon is called Solar Eclipse.
So far this year I've done well.
I haven't gossiped, I haven't lost my temper, I haven't been greedy,
grumpy, nasty, selfish, or overindulgent. I'm very thankful for that.
But in a few minutes, Lord, I'm going to get out of bed, and from then
on I'm probably going to need a lot more help.
Rajanikanth woke up one day and decided he should share at least
one percent of his knowledge with the world...
Thus... Google was born!
Amen
Imagine what would have happened if Rajani had been born 150
years ago!
Lecture tour with a difference
No Uphill Task
At Bajaj we always believe there are no problems... only
solutions. This philosophy was tested on a job high up in the
hills – the picturesque hill station of Mahabaleshwar, in
fact. The client, Evershine Group, desired a wooden look for
some of the architectural highlights at its 4 Star Keys Hotel.
The main issue was climatic, because Mahabaleshwar is
seasonally ravaged by high winds and heavy rains –
sometimes 120'' a year. Our men on the job circumvented
the problem by executing this beautification project using
GRP. The order was worth ` 80 lacs.
So appreciative was the client of our capability and speed of
execution, they commissioned us for another assignment –
the design and development of its amusement park at
Global City, Virar, a distant suburb of Mumbai. A follow-up
order worth ` 2 crore. The inauguration is due on
Republic Day.
We remain confident that when we walk away from this
one, another order will be netted.

Rajanikanth stopped it at Mandya...
When do earthquakes occur?
A Bad Dream?
When Rajanikanth's mobile is on vibration mode.
Jemima was taking an afternoon nap on New Year's Eve before the
festivities. After she woke up, she confided to Max, her husband, 'I
just dreamed that you gave me a diamond ring for a New Year's
present. What do you think it all means?'
Once Rajanikanth bunked an entire day of school.
Ever since, that day is known as... Sunday!!
'Aha, you'll know tonight,' answered Max smiling broadly.
At midnight, as the New Year was chiming, Max approached Jemima
and handed her small package. Delighted and excited she opened it
quickly. There in her hand rested a book entitled: 'The meaning of
dreams'.
Rajnikanth's next project: Titanic in Tamil. Climax revised. Both
survive. Rajnikant swims across the Atlantic Ocean with heroine in
one hand and… Titanic in the other.

GENERALLY SPEAKING
New Resolutions
for a Better Year...
- BEENA KOSHY
Sr. GM & Head - Advertising & Brand Dvpmt.
GENERALLY SPEAKING
RESOLUTION No.7: Save Money
RESOLUTION No.9: Learn something new
Remember, penny saved is penny earned! For
everything else there’s Mastercard. But
seriously “SAVE MONEY”.
Considere a career change, learn a new
language or teach the under privileged… just
do it! Not the advertising slogan, but a slogan
for life.
RESOLUTION No.8: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!
RESOLUTION No.10: Volunteer to help others
Future generations and you will benefit greatly from a
sapling planted today… try making use of things
around you and not buying new stuff every time. It
directly impacts Resolution Nos. 5 and 7 and the
environment will be thankful to you too.
This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!
The only non-selfish resolution, but one that will still
benefit you, after all. Join a local group, participate
in a community activity. It will make you immensely
happy to bring a smile to others’ faces.
So, on that happy note, a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year to all of you.
I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!
1974
This wonderful quote from editor, teacher, author and
preacher William A Ward inspires me to really look at life
differently and with a renewed vigour. Why would somebody
approaching 40 get inspired and nostalgic all of a sudden and
look at 2011 differently. I guess, approaching midlife does
make one more philosophical. So, this year, I decided whether
it’s a personal goal, a project or reforming a habit, I am going
to give it a shot… which, normally, on the first day of the year
itself would be broken.
But still we have the ‘2011 Top 10 New Year Resolutions’ and
shall resolve to fulfill them. The first step is not to undermine
your capabilities – that, at least, is a sure shot way to triumph.
So here we go!!
RESOLUTION No.1:
Spend more time with family and friends
Seriously, it’s easy! Make it a point to do short trips
on weekends to locations nearby… a Lonavala,
Mahableshwar, Matheran, Daman (from
Mumbai), Jaipur (from Delhi), or any getaway
that’s close to you. Just take off and you’ll
surely return refreshed and rejuvenated on
Monday morning.
walking shoes to your market visits, planning meets... If the
flight is late, just walk around the terminal… But exercise!
RESOLUTION No.3:
Drink less and quit smoking now
RESOLUTION No.4: Enjoy Life More
It’s a big step for a happier and healthier you.
Pamper yourself to balance your body, mind and
soul. Go ahead, indulge in that gooey chocolate
once in a while, but do burn it up the next morning.
If monies have been a big source of stress in
your life, learn to handle finances better.
RESOLUTION No.6: Manage Stress
The first step could be to get organized and start
prioritizing. That way you can manage time
better and be less stressful.
No matter what, just carry those running/

Stems from Resolution No. 2. It would be a good
idea, every time one has the urge to smoke, to
take a walk around the office/home building.
Added benefits: You’ll lose weight and increase lung
capacity!
RESOLUTION NO.5: Manage Debt
RESOLUTION No.2: Fit in fitness
