make sure you have all the ingredients. (It is supposed to be a very obvious thing btw)

Look at Satyam! One selfish move to transfer personal liabilities to the company*, people lose faith. Values are fundamental principles. They must ALWAYS hold. Even a single exception will void it. Cultivate good values and uphold them with sanctity.

“Ah!” said the blind man, “Now I know what you mean by milk!”
