The French came up with the first formal request for replying to invitations. The words "Répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning “please reply”, were soon abbreviated to “RSVP” which is recognized worldwide. Whether an event is social or business in nature, the host or planner, for obvious reasons, needs to know who will be attending.
The Wipro online invite system is simple, direct and user-friendly. There is no need to write a formal reply, make a phone call or craft an e-mail response. All that is necessary is to open the message, read the details regarding who issued the invitation, the purpose of the event, the date, the time and the place. Your required actions are to check your availability immediately, move to the top of the screen and check one the following: Accept, Decline, Tentative or Propose New Time. One click and you’re done. If you checked “Tentative,” you must get back to your host as soon as you have a definite answer.
It does not matter if the invite is for a meeting, a workshop, or a meal function, a response is required. Failure to do so is discourteous and disrespectful.
Finally do what you say you will. If you accept, show up. If you decline, stay away. If your plans change at the last minute, make a phone call.

Genetically modified food : How Indian companies are responding to this threat?
Genetically modified food : How Indian companies are responding to this threat?
----------------------------
Here is a message from GreenPeace India, which is not a forwarded email for Fun, rather a serious concern. Please read the message and be careful at what you are eating.
44,426 letters and all the calls to Sonia Gandhi had some impact on the Government. The Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India Bill did not make it to the Parliament. The bill in its current form plans to create an autocratic body to allow genetically modified (GM) food into our country.
To take one more step towards safe food, Greenpeace has now launched the second edition of the Safe Food Guide. This guide ranks major food manufacturers on the basis of the stance they have taken on GM food.
With the help of this guide you can check where the manufacturer of your favourite food brand stands on keeping food safe. The Safe Food Guide can be accessed online.
Check out the Safe Food Guide 2.0 to see where your favourite food manufacturer stands.

You can also SMS Food to 56070 to find out where its manufacturer ranks in the guide. The brand name will give you the most accurate result.
The Safe Food Guide tries to make food manufacturers answerable to the consumer. As consumers we need to question the badly ranked companies about the safety of the products they produce for us.
The companies are categorised into red, green and yellow based on their current and long-term policies on the use of GM food, willingness to inform their position to consumers and pro-activeness in ensuring a labelling and liability regime on foods derived from GM crops.
Some brands, which were ranked high in the first version of the guide have been ranked lower in the new version. This is mainly because the first guide focused on companies’ current policy on the use of GM food and the second one has extended its parameters to include future long-term policies on the use of GM foods. Their lack of willingness to be transparent and to ensure a GM free market for Indian consumers is also responsible for the low ranking.
