Seen interview candidates (on campus selection) obsessed with Big Brand companies and huge salary packages. There are some colleges who are placing Qualified Engineers inside BPOs because of the same reason. While I am not against getting placed in BPOs, it should be an informed choice. If an Engineering graduate thinks he/she is entitled to a huge salary package just because he/she has completed Engineering Graduation, they are going to face a huge shock when they enter the  job market. The big token companies can run experiments on new joinees to get the Cream Crop and cull them as and when they please. The BPOs have a different business model, when you can process some stuff, you generate revenue - so hiring with huge sales package is a no-brainer. But for core companies & companies who are just starting to get the grip of business, the huge pay packages for Freshers is a distraction. They need contributing Engineers to be well paid and managed, not the experiments ...

Its easier said than done. I am trying, maybe because I want to create the change from within myself to those around me. When you say you want to go up, you need to say that I have to increase my worth so much that there is no other way than UP. But most of the time this isn't what we see. What we see is that others are growing, and this somewhat pushes us down. The fact of the matter is we look up to someone from the Top to pull us up. This type of attitude is always wrong. When you want to go UP, you have to raise UP, otherwise there is nobody who is going to give you the respect you deserve. Yes, you deserve respect, not PITY. You will be pulled up only if you get PITY. If you raise up, everyone says that you deserve this and that provides respect. So how to raise up, can the government policy get me up. NO, NEVER. A Government is there to manage things. For them to easily manage anything, they need to have a steady state. That is stable income from direct & in...

Most of us have a simple rule to believe what we see, not a bad idea at all! But some of us have a notion that there is a bigger force in the world which controls everything. For those of us who believe in such a superior being, it is not very difficult to perceive things in the spiritual manner and see miracles. But for those of us who don't believe in superior power, the miracles are damn co-incidences. For some of us atleast there is always a moral dilemma to belong to both the sects. They are non-believers but don't want to accept that everything happens for a damn reason as well. They want to believe man as well as God so they just follow what their perception tells them to believe. Now, I would like to just narrate an incident which happened in my life and want those of you who read just make your own conclusions about a superior being or God.  One fine day, just like any other day, I started on bike (by bike I mean a 2 wheeled automobile) to go to the office. From...

I have always believed Journey should be enjoyed rather than waiting for the Destination. In my belief, Journey is the Life and Destination is whatever is in store for us After Life. Lately I have been mulling each and every aspect of our life is a journey & a destination in itself. For example, take Education - for most of us Graduation is kind of the destination of the journey we call schooling. So it becomes inevitable that we have to enjoy schooling rather than just focus on graduation. Thus, we will be able to enjoy one of the most fruitful time in our lifetime, our childhood, adolescence and youth. The same can be for just an year in school, the destination is to move on to the next grade. And the journey is the whole year in school itself. If you don't enjoy what you do in school everyday, even if we move on to the next grade, it doesn't matter. We will carry a little bit of void. This also applies to finding Love. While finding an everlasting Love is the destin...

I was having a sick day following all these Fasting Protests by very educated & well-intentioned leaders of this great nation so I started a thread of Twitter posts which stated my anguish in these scenarios. The following is an extended version of that anguish. Is Fasting truly necessary to fight corruption, won't refusal to pay bribe & discouraging corrupt practices in our day-to-day life be a more relevant revolution. I would certainly recommend those who are fasting to fight corruption to form a "People Vigilance Cell" and monitor all govt. & private organizations for bribing & corrupt practices & publish them in the media. Be a Corruption Watchdog instead of wasting our time being a cultural, moral, lame protest, silly PIL or sometimes watchdogs whose main aim is create publicity. Fasting is inaction, we need action to reform this corrupt nation. In every nook & corner, we need people who would refuse to bribe, monitor if any sort of bribi...

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do 'great work' is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle" - Steve Jobs in http://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.html So True.
