All for More Optimism

Regardless of the challenges you've faced, the outcomes are what truly matter. In the realm of business, it's the figures that convey everything, showing whether your strategies and execution were successful. However, achieving success requires a significant amount of effort. This includes keeping up with market trends; understanding the constantly changing behaviors of consumers, often influenced by new developments; identifying the specific markets you aim to reach or to expand footprint; being confident in the organization's expertise and its ability to provide unique solutions; ensuring efficient delivery at the final stage; and, naturally, always being prepared for unexpected developments. This is the nature of business.

Over time, companies have had to add more elements to their processes. This becomes increasingly important as global markets grow more competitive and diverse rules are implemented. The most recent example is the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, which is expected to lead to disputes at the WTO. In this backdrop, the Indian Tube and Pipe Industry has excelled by meeting several industry predictions, as shown in the annual reports.

As the market starts to thrive, we anticipate an increase in new entrants and capacity expansion, which could lead to heightened competition. In this situation, we might see more companies merging or acquiring others, and established firms moving into the sector to meet growing domestic demand, and as a result establishing the nation as a formidable player amidst ongoing geopolitical conflicts, which are expected to persist. In such a precarious scenario, India, with its independent foreign policy approach, will be cautious about not relying too much on exports and will aim to have its target markets more spread out.

In summary, the market continues to be strong, and the sector is confident in its ability to see further transformations. Our thorough analysis of the financial status of numerous companies in the sector has affirmed our decision to aim high, and there are ample reasons to remain optimistic. The market size is significant, and it will continue to expand. However, the per capita consumption remains low as compared to the global average. If the financial health of the sector has been uncovered in this issue, then the upcoming Tube and Pipe Fair-South, where the sector will gather at Hyderabad’s Hitex Exhibition Centre, will provide a true reflection of its current state. Why am I making this point? Because the entire venue is fully booked.

An Outlier In The Wrong World

Delhi was once Chinglen’s ‘cradle of love’. With his student years over and the love that once comforted his stay has come to a tragic end, he is seized by a strong urge to flee the city. Run as far as he can from the memories of love. As a costly escape is beyond means, he returns to Manipur, a place long marred by protracted violence, a failed revolution, an engineered incessant political chaos, and already neck-deep in corruption. Perhaps to lick his wounds and hide with the beguiled sense. That the distance and the rich bizarre should shield him from the very memories sloshing thick inside him. His attempt to keep himself engaged as well as to make a meagre living lands him a shoddy journalist job and the opportunity to pursue a PhD at the state's only university. In the absence of his laidback editor and opportunistic professor, he teaches himself some degree of creative writing and dabbles in academia. As he moves further into the labyrinth, he learns the hard way that trying...

Dream of Beliefs

Seeking quiet corners In the silence of the city By day, by night, Even in the stillness of late hours I carried you. To pursue, to court, And finally, to know If it was mine Or ever would be. I remember Tossing, turning, Muttering to myself, Searching for signs While gathering words. Then, one rainy day, I believed I had it. The dream was mine. Twenty years have passed With the dream, In another city, Where silence and inner peace Slip through my grasp. Penury and ill-fortune Trail me like shadows, Reminding me How fragile, how futile The pursuit can be. Often, I wonder: Have I failed? Is my back now pressed Against the walls Of this city, Of life itself? It is dreadful. It is disheartening. Yet I have nothing But this dream: A flickering flame, A roaring inferno, A monster trapped within. I am no one No titles, no claims, Only belief to shield me, And a longing For a place in the world. After all these years, Oh, dream of mine To possess you Is to know who I am, What I can be. And st...

Revised Edition of Tales of Human Mischief

Tales of Human Mischief   by Nameirakpam Bobo Meitei is a poignant collection of short stories set against the backdrop of Manipur, also known as Kangleipak.   The anthology delves into the lives of ordinary individuals whose experiences are shaped by the region's prolonged civil unrest and armed conflicts.   Through rich prose, Meitei brings to light the often-overlooked narratives of those affected by systemic violence and societal upheaval. ​ The stories encapsulate a range of human emotions and experiences: a mother's lament for her lost child, the silent suffering of a young soul molded by surrounding violence, the humiliation endured by dishonored victims, and the pervasive fear of those yearning for salvation.   These narratives reflect the extremities of terror and human brutality, painting a vivid picture of a society grappling with moral decay and existential despair. ​ Meitei's writing is characterized by its melancholic tone and introspective depth. ...
