Prehistory of Michelin
Posted by A BorN MoRoN Auto and Aviation, BiZ-Origin Monday, April 27, 2009
The present Michelin Company dates back to 1829 when Édouard Daubrée marries a Scott, Elizabeth Pugh Barker niece of the scientist Charles Macintosh, who discovered the solubility of rubber in benzene.
The Daubrées family had created their fortune in trade – notably the sugar trade, which collapsed during the Napoleonic Wars with the crippling blockade against French shipping. He was soon joined by Aristide Barbier, a distant cousin and also a close friend.
Whatever else she brought to the marriage as dowry, Elizabeth Daubrée apparently was the niece – at any rate she had grown up in the shadow – of Charles Macintosh, the Scot who made rubber work for him at a time (1823) when inventors and entrepreneurs were looking for ways to manipulate the strange substance, and then to find practical uses for it. A little later, the miraculous process known as vulcanization – essentially the application of heat and sulphur to transform crude rubber into something at once stronger and more pliable – created an industry.
A decade and a half before this process was tried and proved successful, Macintosh had begun to strip off slices of crude rubber – hardened latex – to dissolve it in low-boiling naphtha, encasing it between layers of fabric to produce waterproof clothing material. By 1824 he was running a company bearing his name to make and sell his patented rainwear. Still later, his genial creation would be known universally as the ‘mackintosh’.
It was a rough moment in the Industrial Revolution. There was a race to be the first to file a patent, another race to be the first to exploit new and potentially profitable manufacturing processes. In 1839 Charles Goodyear first stumbled upon the vulcanization process that was to make all the difference, yet he had not had the business sense to nail down his patent in time. He even thought he could keep the discovery to himself while he negotiated its sale, letting samples get out of his hands, at which point a clever Englishman, Thomas Hancock, unravelled his secret by sniffing out the sulphur in it – and filed his own patent for vulcanization a year ahead of Goodyear’s (in 1843, to be precise). Goodyear fought back, threatening legal action if Europeans violated his rights. French rubber-makers who ignored Goodyear’s moral priority were taken to court, their defence led by none other than Aristide Barbier – armed with his legal background – and they won – in France at least; the year was 1854.
The original Barbier–Daubrée combination worked like a charm until the end, but the end always comes. They even died in harmony – Aristide Barbier in 1863 and Edouard Daubrée just a year later, having ensured the succession as best they could – given that Daubrée left two sons and widower Barbier two daughters. Of the Daubrée sons the elder, Ernest, already 34 years old at his father’s death, seemed to give the better guarantee that he could handle the succession. But now there was – or could be – a male pretender on the Barbier side. During the early years of the Clermont-Ferrand adventure Aristide’s daughters Emilie and Adèle had lived in Paris, raised by the sister of their long-departed mother. The story goes that when they were of the age to marry, the daughters had access to the best drawing rooms. But it was in Clermont-Ferrand that Aristide eventually found a man for Emilie, who by then was 24 years old. The prospective husband, a recent widower, son of a property lawyer, was himself a lawyer. And it was still further away from Paris – in Luz, a spa in the Pyrenees frequented by Aristide Barbier in his late and prosperous years – that his second daughter Adèle (then a ripe 21) was first seen in the company of a gentleman named Jules Michelin (a dozen years her senior).

Indian Currencies Part 1
Posted by A BorN MoRoN TriViA Sunday, April 26, 2009
First currency notes were introduced in India by Bank of Bengal initially known as Bank of Calcutta in early 1800. Initially, Bank of Bengal only introduced one sided notes for limited circulation as substitute for gold mohurs. These notes were printed on one side while leaving blank other side of notes. However, later bank also introduced both side printed and more advanced notes for commercial use.
These notes were very ordinary type and do not have security feature like present notes have. Many of these notes helped British government in funding battle against various Indian rulers like Tipu Sultan and Marathas. In 1861, British government passed Paper Currency Act of 1861 which provided them monopoly to print and issue Indian currencies notes. British government published notes for India under different series starting from Victoria portrait series and ending with George V series.
In between, they also introduced Underprint series and King’s portrait series. With the introduction of Victoria portrait series, first British Indian notes came into existence. These notes were available in the value of 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1000. In 1867, British government introduced more advanced and secure underprint series by withdrawing Victoria portrait series because of reports of forgery. Present look of Indian currency mainly emerge in 1923 with the introduction of George V series. In George V series, note of 10000 denomination was also introduced by government.
In George V series notes, security thread was also introduced for first time in Indian currency notes as an enhanced security feature. In 1935, Reserve Bank of India came in to existence and it took control of complete currency circulation in India. British Indian currency remained in circulation in India till 1947 and as frozen currency till 1950. Today, these British Indian currency notes have become part of Indian history. Below, people can watch some pictures of rare paper currency notes of India which first came in to circulation (before Independence).
Here is a nice collection for all the readers.

Posted by A BorN MoRoN Tuesday, April 21, 2009Broken Spec and team no. 13 are not-so-un-lucky for my first Brand Equity Quiz
Posted by A BorN MoRoN Tuesday, April 21, 2009
Broken Spec and team no. 13 are not-so-un-lucky
As i was leaving my home to board Delhi’s train, my mom chide me by saying don’t wear this broken-glass-spec, anyway I did. Later on when we were to be allotted the 13 no. As the team no., my partner also chide me, again I did the reverse.
In the break we were cursing our luck (as is the case in most of quizzes and for almost every quizzer) for missing some lollypops, even I felt to be on receiving end on being-un-lucky. Anyway, my first Derek-O-brain, quiz didn’t prove to be so as we ended third, after Great-Accenture team and NTPC’s team. However, we were lucky to be on stage at first as we had tied our score with SMS’ teams (my nameshake but a better quizzer, incidentally he also hail from lucknow )
Also, I must admit it was my partner because of whom we came third, great work Dada..
Now, for all those who are interested in getting the qts ( both prelims and of final) of the quiz, well u have to do some effort ( if you haven’t done so far) by “Subscribe via email”, button is in front of your eyes only. I will be mailing qts to the mail list....

"But inspite of the small crowd, there's quality here," he added. His words were prophetic as the Delhi round now can lay claim to a host of `first time' in the event so far. Be it the ruthless decimation of competition to emerge the clear winners a first or teams from Chandigarh and Lucknow (first time in 19 years) making it to the final six, a first as well in the Brand Equity Quiz 2009 presented by Idea.

An industry source says, "Apparently, Amitabh Bachchan is starting a news channel called India 24/7 and the preparations for starting it, is on in full swing. It is being planned in collaboration with a big corporate house. Of course, right now nobody wants to confirm anything and everything is hush-hush."
The source continues, "The idea for Amitabh Bachchan launching a new channel came while he was shooting for Ram Gopal Varma's Rann. Bachchan plays Harshvardhan Malik, the owner of a TV channel in the film. When Ramu and Bachchan were discussing the script in the initial stages, it was Bachchan's idea that Ramu name his channel, India 24/7. Now the channel which Bachchan is apparently planning to launch is also called India 24/7. That can hardly be a co-incidence."
Anyway trivia is Big-B was rejected by AIR in his early days..
Now the official version by Man himself on his blog
Except for the odd pestering sms from media. ‘ Sir I believe you are starting a news channel called INDIA 24/7.’
Ha .. ha ..
How does one respond to such stupidity. The editor of a large film magazine calls, all from my fraternity, as being schmucks !! But most of her editorial smirks of nothing else but the unethical culture of stars, their attitudes, language and behavior. Why do so when you consider them to be all in the horrid word you wrote to describe situation earlier on !!
