Hello
All,Football fever is reaching a crescendo as almost the whole world is reverberating with the FIFA World Cup, 2010 song
“Tsa mina mina eh eh, Waka waka eh eh”.

According to Wikipedia, when translated from the Cameroonian Fang language,
‘Tsaminamina’ means ‘Come’ and ‘Waka waka’ means
‘Do it / perform a task / walk while working’. To us, the song seems to be a clarion call for action – for consistent and persistent action, whatever may be the impediments enroute. Action for us lies in learning while sharing and vice versa.

The corporate regulatory updates covering taxation, FDI, SCRA etc., are included in this issue, as also details about an interesting workshop on
‘Time Management’ that one of our business associates is conducting on 26th June, 2010. It is all about learning and growing together. Hope you find this 13th issue of Lexspeak useful !!

Do give us a feedback.
