You’ve got to be kidding me!

We’re just back from our first Industrial trip at XLRI. We visited the Jamshedpur plant of Tata-Robins-Fraser, supposedly to get the knowhow of operations on the shop floor. High thinking as I am, my attention was focused on the shop walls rather than the floor. And these are few of the masterpieces that the wall was adorned with.
