Not so much for his yeoman service as a red revolutionary from Rajasthan in his early career for a brief spell, or as a legal luminary, as for his performance in this last decade of the century.

Nestle meets market hopes
Nestle recently announced its results for the half-year ended July 5, 1998, and the second-quarter of 1998. Incidentally, before the company could announce the first-half results, Nestle's stock price had already recorded an impressive jump of Rs 100 within a period of one month. Interestingly, the results were undoubtedly impressive.
