TATA, WE SALUTE YOU!

Hail Tata, ohh omnipresent Indian force. Having acquinted to you in far and humble Luxembourg, where your tentacles of power and force could be felt.

Being here in Tata motherland decided for me that a proper salutation to your might empire is only justified, if not the only logical and dignified tribute a humble traveler like me could do.... This is my tribute, this is my humble salutation to: Tata Group, India's largest business group and multinational company.

After some limited traveling around in India my little eye spied more and more of the Tata force. Therefore I decided to take pictures where and when I could, just to show what's possible and what it had. As our camera was stolen, I couldn't upload my latest treasures which were picked up on the way, but my pride and glory that I will have to treasure in my heart is the lovely sight of the famous, unbreakable: Tata Brick. Below some info from Wiki, but the pics are mine. Agi officially hates me for it, as somehow she didn't like it when her boyfriend has more interest in watching garbage then her... But that's ok for me ;-)

The Tata Group (Hindi: टाटा समूह) is a multinational conglomerate based in Mumbai, India. In terms of market capitalization and revenues, Tata Group is the largest private corporate group in India and has been recognized as one of the most respected companies in the world. It has interests in steel, automobiles, information technology, communication, power, tea and hospitality.

The group takes the name of its founder, Jamsetji Tata, a member of whose family has almost invariably been the chairman of the group. The current chairman of the Tata group is Ratan Tata, who took over from J. R. D. Tata in 1991 and is currently one of the major international business figures in the age of globality. The company is currently in its fifth generation of family stewardship.

Ps, in Myanmar Tata means 'bye bye', but then again the same applies in English, but then only for small kids....
