Mind your language! Or you will be Udaas…

Language is a barrier sometimes! The knowledge of English is very necessary in these times to show that you know things!

Someone may be clever or intelligent in his or her own native language but the lack of knowledge of English may be an issue.

Of course in the times of the information technology and Translate, things are much easy and of course the knowledge of English does not necessarily mean you are clever or intelligent! 

There is a chart called the Gantt chart, this is a commonly used graphical depiction of a project schedule. It’s a type of bar chart showing the start and finish dates of a project’s elements such as resources, planning, and dependencies! Officially Henry Gantt in 1910-15, an American mechanical engineer, designed the Gantt chart and this is used in so many prominent companies all over the world including and not limited to Amazon and Ikea!

Gantt originally created his tool for systematic, routine operations. He designed this visualization tool to more easily measure productivity levels of employees and gauge which employees were under- or over-performing. Gantt also frequently included graphics and other visual indicators in his charts to track performance. One of the first major applications of Gantt charts was by the United States during World War I.

The earliest Gantt charts were drawn on paper and therefore had to be redrawn entirely in order to adjust to schedule changes. For many years, project managers used pieces of paper or blocks for Gantt chart bars so they could be adjusted as needed!

Of course later on the development of computers made way to develop and create complex and more streamlined Gantt charts which are used even today!

Now where does the language issue come you would ask?

Well accurately speaking the first charts similar to Gantt was actually developed in 1896 by Karol Adamiecki, who called it a harmonogram!

Adamiecki, however, published his chart only in Russian and Polish which limited both its adoption and recognition of his authorship! In 1896 Adamiecki invented this novel means of displaying interdependent processes so as to enhance the visibility of production schedules. In 1903 his theory caused a stir in Russian technical circles!

Adamiecki is the author of the law of harmony in management and in 1972 the State College of Economic Administration in Katowice was named after him, and in 1974 it became the Karol Adamiecki University of Economics!

Better late than never which proves that English language or not, real talent shines no matter what! But still English knowledge does help! A big bag of real talent also was Pankaj Udhas who like his name can give you so many emotions and if you listen to his song “Chitti ayi Hai”, you will definitely feel Udhas or sad especially if you are far from your near and dear ones.

Listen to his soft songs to give you a nice warm sleep!

We will miss you Pankaj ji; heartfelt condolences, Om Shanthi…

Shubh Ratri!
