st stOn 31 December-2011, eleventh year of 21 Century
was concluded. Looking back, the year 2011 was not
only as active and busy year in as terms of quality
engineering service provider but also as responsible
visionary and missionary organisation by imparting and
sha r i ng knowledge th rough va r ious t r a i n ing
programmes and workshops throughout the year. But
we do believe in 'Looking Ahead' rather than “looking
back” .So, let us look ahead.
In March-2012, M/s. T&ATSPL will be completing it's
success journey of 24 years and entering the silver
jubilee year of inception of the company. It was star ted
from the 'scratch” and reached to the 'Shikhar' (Peak).
The Company's story of achievement is very exhausting
but exciting. And now it has become a company's stsignature characteristic to march ahead on every 1
March of the year by organising something big to
celebrate the inception day of the company. In line with
that, company has planned to organise state level st stseminars on 1 March-2012 and 1 Marh-2013. Also a
compilation work for publishing an interesting
voluminous book on “Safety” is in pipeline and we have
planned to release the same during the seminar on st“Safety” on 1 March 2013
With this, management of M/s. Trivedi & Associates

RULES OF TRUE LIFE!!!
1) No one will manufacture a lock without key.Similarly; God w'ont give problems without solutions. So defeat
your problems with great confidence.
2) When you are right, no one remembers you, when you are wrong, no one forgets you.
3) A smile is a curve that can straighten out a lot of things
4) Mistakes are painful when they happen. But years later a collection of mistakes called experience which
leads us to success.
5) Everyone will not get everything. This is the rule of life. Do not try to get which is not yours. But do not
loose which is yours.
6) Life gives answer in ways…it says yes and gives you what you want. It says no and gives you something
better. It says wait and gives you the Best.
