There is a long tradition that we have imbibed from our parents that to begin our day invoking the blessings of God and giving offerings to God, so that all our undertakings shall be turned fruitful. When it comes to employees of private and KSRTC buses plying the service, only the former keep up the tradition.
In private buses they have the images of God, some having images from various religions as well, garlanded with fresh flowers in the morning, devotional music being played and making offerings to God, irrespective of temple, church or mosque. No wonder, most private buses ply their services without loss, a person who starts the business with one bus going on to own several buses in the blink of an eye.
Whereas KSRTC having strong government capital, lands and properties across Kerala, with strong network spanning its service all over Kerala, and having no prayer is reeling under huge financial loss.
The gesture to garland the image of God, making offerings to God is a way of discipline and commitment towards one's profession and willingness to grow against all odds. The other party having strong resources but because of mismanagement, non commitment, undedicated employees and a taken for granted salary is making the whole sector bleeding under severe financial crisis.
The discipline, both physical and spiritual, hunger for something, passion and go and get attitude help one achieve the seemingly impossible. A secured government job in KSRTC makes the employee take an easy going attitude and having a feeling that their rights and salary are protected, so why take too much effort or pain.
The attitude and commitment of the employees make the private sector flourish and the government sector make a nosedive.
