Dear Sir ,

I have no experience of politics of the associations but I am not able to understand why is everyone expecting so much from TAAI?if you think TAAI is capable of doing something for the agents , then why did you not elect the right team . 

Quite clearly the major politicians in TAAI are not your choice , then  why did everyone not support Mr Sanjay Narula , and his team ? Why is everyone missing him so much now after this election fiasco /legal cases and today we  are complimenting Mr Narula for his work on Service tax , starting  of the APJC    , the great   work in conventions  , someone talked about Tsunami relief   in Chennai etc  etc etc , why did you simply not go and  vote for him at Bangalore ?

If Biji  Eapen Sir  has been fighting for so many years and  it is quite clear that  people  like Mr Iqbal Mulla and Mr Rajji  Rai who have been  at the top   in TAAI  since last 7 to 8  years  and  did not  allowed BIJI Sir to enter the APJC ,  then why did you not support a new person , he seems like a nice hard working gentleman and has a good track record as per many mails that I have seen  .

Why is our behavior  so abnormal when it comes to elections , why is it that be it for the country or for our work we do not have the courage to spent even a little bit of time and money to find a a good and fair person . if people are getting  paid to vote either by tickets or parties or hotel stays then they should not complain at all , after all it is their own mistake .

Friends:

Ordinary Agents feel betrayed and frustrated. Majority feel TAAI & TAFI have let them down badly and are now fighting for the chair - in a vulgar display of greed and ambition - not service to the Travel Trade.

Many of you have expressed that BIJI EAPEN / IAAI has been fighting sincerely but DID NOT GET support from other associations. There are instances that they even scuttled their efforts. 

What can you do now ? Simple ACT decisively. 

1. DO NOT RENEW your membership of TAAI & TAFI . They don't do anything anyway(Don't worry they will not strike your membership off. Might even pay on your behalf during elections and ask you to vote:)

2. Become a member of IAAI today. pull down the application from www.iaai.in and send in (all the 70 plus who are in this mailing list please)

3. If possible, ask couple of your friends to become members of IAAI as well

3. You will see the difference in 48 hours if you act NOW.

P.S.: If you don't act, stop complaining and sending mails to all and sundry

I don't think anyone cares for the Common Travel Agent  , nothing from TAAI or TAFI the expectation are ZERO ,  I feel we should stop even talking about them its no use . It is now time to support yourself and find way to survival . Friends  you need to do something and do something fast   these  leaders  of TAAI  are not going to help you  and I do not feel that they will allow good people to come in because of their own selfish interest .

Dear Sir ,

All these messages are very confusing and also a bit scary at times to see that within our fraternity there is so much distaste and anger among us . 

Today Supreme court will  Act upon the BCCI chief and his colleagues  , The court has already given the verdict on TAAI  elections but , has TAAI acted  ? Will the members  ask  all those who participated in the  wrongful decision taken by this Managing committee for an explanation ?

However as you rightly put it  people as in TAAI members deserve what they get as they had a chance but they lost it .  If you see the message  from Ms Bhatia you will realize how desperately people are seeking a change .

 I,d like to  mention that I had been seeing so many message's from senior TAAI member and also a candidate for the President   Mr Sanjay Narula talking about Service Tax with detailed presentation for almost an year ago which he actively worked and championed the cause . 

 

When i saw a TAAI presentation on services tax exactly similar and  very much in line with what  he had been talking about  . Also  on weekly he had been sending messages and speaking on the subject for over a year , but did we give him chance to work for us , we should have I feel .TAAI needs young new leaders and  these people like Mr Narula need the encouragement I do not think we have been kind to good people in our industry  ,  .

Like Biji  Eapen Sir  he is also not  given the opportunity or due credit .

What can we do now is what we should focus upon  it is upto the agents and the members to write their future  .

Hello   ,

Why are the main issues of  our Commission , weekly payment and fare parity being sidelined , what is any association doing for us  you have to see all websites and they are all undercutting us , airlines hotels everyone where does this leave us  . All these offers of Flash sales leave us nothing to do , is there anyone who care's  ? 

Should TAAI not let us know what happened to the legal case on Weekly is their any further action , what is this order all about against the President ate least some information should be shared .

 This way there is no use of being an Travel agent or even a member of any association , it is  looking quite hopeless .

Dear Mr Rai ,

 

I wish you the  very best for your  health and hope that you stay completely fit for a  long time  and it was very kind of you  to write to me . As I mentioned in my mail I appreciate that you did take Mr Iqbal Mulla to task and got this order from the court , to right a wrong and that is commendable . Working as a  honorary  industry leader  is not for everyone and those who do must be appreciated , and I recognise that  .

 

When you stood against a Mr Iqbal Mulla and Mr Sanjay Narula this time one felt that it was sad to see that many good people got left out  who could have served TAAI a lot better then this current Managing Committee . The  court order proves that the  Managing Committee and  the current OB's have been wrong  and they should not have been there in the first place .

 

I must say that sometimes going through the subject matter of issues brought forward by this young Lad  Sanjay  Narula   did get to me and I felt he has  meant well  for our industry , it was pity to see that he had to be up against his very own from his region .His silence for the past few months  is quite conspicuous if I may say so , as he brought a fair amount of positive energy with his enthusiasm  .

 

Pardon my saying so was it not  daft ( As a grandmother I hope I am excused   )   on the part of Mr Narula and yourself  to have allowed Mr Iqbal  Mulla and his team to win and  get away when you two together could have easily ensured a stable TAAI .

 

Is not working as a team the general idea of an association , is it not a fact that for a large part   Sanjay Narula  and  yourself  have worked in TAAI together and have done exceptional work .My friend from Chennai  a TAAI veteran tells me that as a  team the two of you were brilliant  and besides fighting several  travel  industry issues   I believe you two  did good work   even for Tsunami Relief and actively participated  , so what happened now  ! 

 

Leaders  such as yourself  have to have in them the ability to recognise strengths of their colleagues and put what is right beyond self interest to serve a larger good and I would perhaps encourage each one of you to be more inclusive . 

 

Well I do interact with Aleem Bhai once in a while and vent when I can ,  and I now work for  a Boss unlike many of you and I  cannot and should not be really getting involved in the politics of the industry  . 

 

However  I want to see the industry prosper for a greater good and on that note I  would sign of by saying , stay healthy , stay fighting fit and get  a good  team which can resurrect TAAI .

 

Wish you the very best  , have a  great weekend , and do excuse me if my what I said was excessive,

 

Good Night ,

 

Asha

Dear Ms. Asha,

I have seen the mails  exchanged between you and Aleem Bhai, which are pro-active & constructive.

Aleem Bhai has explained to you why I contested.  This is the truth. Inspite of my failing health, I  had  contested to take up this challenge.

I  felt that  if my friends needed my assistance, it was my duty to try & help. Also, it is my true intention that if I am given this opportunity I shall use all the resources at my disposal to do what I can for the travel industry.

I really appreciate the trust shown in me by Aleem Bhai and all others, which I shall not betray forever and by God's help, will never let you all down.

Please do feel free to communicate with me in case  I can be of any assistance.

With warm regards.

Rajji Rai

Dear Aleem Bhai ,

By the way there is no attachment to your letter but one can get the sense form all the mails doing the rounds that Mr Rajji Rai has managed to get the  President Mr Iqbal Mulla  to restrain from its normal function albeit temporarly  .

I have to ask you what is in it for the General Members like you and all of us .  Do you really believe that TAAI will be left with any respect  when this is over  will it be able to command any status in  the industry ?

Do you really believe that all that ails us from the  problems with Weekly payment  to Bank Gaurantees  , insurance ,  to Passport office  etc  will be taken care of . If anyone has done some selfless work one has seen it only from Mr Biji Eapen so far .

TAAI is now gone beyond repair ,and I am  surprised that someone of your intelligence is still very much with the same thought and same people .While I must  say that being a President of TAAI or any association for that matter is a thankless job and though one does criticize but you have to recognize that all those who led TAAI till today have spent time and effort and hard work to keep it going . Now why are we getting to this ? what for !

While I am glad that Mr Rajji Rai has challanged Mr Iqbal Mulla and hopefully TAAI can see a re-election . It is time that  TAAI is given a complete makeover and a change of Gaurd at the Top for  all the important positions ? 

As an optimistic person I do hope that will happen , in fact I strongly reccomend to both Mr Iqbal Mulla and Mr Rajji Rai do not drag TAAI to a long protracted legal battle where it is completely ruined .

Be generous  Sir's  its is time you both gave up and let TAAI be born again under a new leadership and a fresh new team  , in fact it is time that you yourselves  choose and  allow  young  blood and new leadership to take over and guide the new team to again bring TAAI  back to its glory  be there for them to make the right choices. I am sure TAAI is  that important enough to you and  want to see it right at the top in every segment of travel . Today why do we need so many associations when it was TAAI which showed the way in the ticketing business , in Outbound business and also to promote India and solve all related issues.

That change Aleem Bhai will be the  biggest contribution of all the Seniors to  TAAI and the Industry  .

Wish you the very best have a nice day.

Dear Friends,
 
For your information.  Please take a look at the attached letter,
it is very important.
 
Does this mean that, until a verdict is given by the court in this
case, the TAAI MC has to remain inactive?  Can someone
please enlighten us.
 
Thanks and regards.
 
Aleem
