CEO Profile-Merit to the fore-->Anil Manibhai Naik,CEO Larsen & Tourbro. Stock Price as of 5/4/99 (National Stock Exchange) Company Name Quote Rs. -------------------------- ---------- L & T 211.75 Merit to the fore Priya Srinivasan in Bombay When Anil Manibhai Naik, 57, joined Larsen & Toubro -- India's premier engineering and construction company -- in 1965 as a junior engineer, all he aspired for was a gradual promotion to the position of manager. Sure enough, Naik moved on from the now $ 1.5 billion company's engineering workshop in suburban Bombay, realised his wish of becoming a manager, and gradually rose to L&T's top slot of MD and CEO, to succeed S D Kulkarni.

Mohan-- Took somebody's advice on DELL thread and bookmarked you...I've got The Elegant Universe, just started it, it is indeed beautiful. Listen to this about string theory: "Just as the strings on a violin or on a piano have resonant frequencies at which they prefer to vibrate--patterns that our ears sense as various musical notes and their higher harmonics--the same holds true for the loops of string theory. But we will see that, rather than producing musical notes, each of the preferred pattterns of vibration of a string in string theory appears as a particle whose mass and force charges are determined by the string's oscillatory patter. The electron is a string vibrating one way, the up-quark is a string vibrating another way, and so on. Particle properties in string theories...are the resonant patterns of vibration." Thus in a sense there are not really a collection of particles with all those nutsy names (quarks, gluons, muons)--there is a universe made up of vibratory patterns, whose "endpoints" manifest in the "particles" as we know them that build our world.
