Information Technology in Indian Railways

We can observe if we analyze the semi-automated Indian Railways system, that it is still lacking the independence from manual work by human being.

The Indian Railway is the largest government organization having more than half million employees working into it with on an average only 6 pure working hours. Now these details indicate waste of resources by not utilizing all of them in a best way they could have been used.

Indian Railways still use FoxPro and some other ancestors' time soft wares which can be replaced with current bunch of efficient soft wares with some strategic planning toward it.

Indian Railways is having great management for even a single component of their system with maintaining this much amount of employees. Now if they are having certain great level of management then making whole system fully automated is no more challenging task for India. Though India is a one of the leading nation contributing in Information Technology, a system like Railways is very much easy to implement.

With proper technical support in India the traditional old system can easily be converted to current updated one. For instance, if we want to change from FoxPro to Oracle then we may think for proper gateways to be put and convert all data to Oracle database format.

Though thinking seems to be much easier than implementation because if we will implement a new system then we need to train all those employees who has been working on old system. This training may be seen as overhead or long time benefit to the system by the government of India is another issue.

With this article I hereby want to inspire young guns from India to make there country from developing to developed country.

I have been analyzing the whole system for last four years for its functionality. Indian Railways is one of the most impressive system that runs mostly on human power and still it is very efficient by management point of view. This system can be made to be studied by any management student if few young guns can submit their efforts towards the system by implementing their ideas to make the system fully automated.

Where to Get Mog's Water Rondo Dance in Final Fantasy III

The only time in Final Fantasy III you can get Mog's Water Rondo Dance is in the World of Balance. First you must recruit Mog in your party. Go to Narshe and find the treasure house to the South of the house Terra woke up in the beginning of the game.

You will see a cut scene of a thief name Lone Wolf emptying one chest. Follow Lone Wolf to where the Tritoch esper is on the edge of the cliff. You will have a choice to save Mog or get the treasure that Lone Wolf stole "Gold Hairpin". The obvious choice should be to save Moogle.

Now it's time to get the Water Rondo! Go to the Cave of the Veldt (Where you found the Scuba Helmet). Make sure you have Mog in your party (Alive) or you will not learn the dance. Now jump in the Lete River and Serpent Trench and start battling. You will receive a message saying "Mog learned Water Rondo Dance" after the battle.

Water Rondo Dance Moves
Wild Bear - restores hp
Specter - confuses opponent
El Nino - heavy damage on all opponents (water elemental)
Plasma - attacks single opponent (lightning elemental)

Congratulations you have learned Mog's best dance. The only time you can perform the dance without messing up is when you fight in Lete River or Serpent Trench. Since these places are only available in the World of Balance Mog never has a 100% chance of success for Water Rondo. Keep that in mind for do or die battles.
