I had been reading the news of how India is becoming a global giant in IT, and I also had been listening to people in my IT circle. One of my friend said this to me during a very casual session of talk, but this particular statement initiated a thought process in me, what he said was - "I am looking for the one who's satisfied in this Industry, if you you find one, do bring him to me. I'll love to see him."
If you are also working in this industry, then I ask a question to you- Are you satisfied, If the answer to this is Yes, then let me come to the second round. Are you happy with the work you are doing ? Are you happy with the way your life is heading ? Do you think that your potentials are used in the right stream ? If this also brings yes in you. Then my last two questions to you. Do you think the work that you are doing can't be done by a +2 or +5 candidate ? and the last one, after every working day, are you satisfied with the innovative work that you have done in the office,:-) that is going to help the nation in its growth ? :-)
I bet for 90% of us working in IT industry the answers can't be yes.
Its a blind race, not for work its for money. You look for onsite coz of money, you look for a job change, not for work but for money. In all this unknowingly your priorities have been changed.
I'll continu on this in my next blog.

i recently saw SIR APJ Abdul Kalam
having his last walk in Mughal Gardens and thought what am i doing for my nation at the age of 25, while SIR Abdul Kalam at the age of 75 is still worrying to see india as a developed nation.
Hell to my Youth if I do not contribute to the prosperity and well being of my nation.
Life is not about MOVIES, Clubs and Honda Cities ... its about Envisioning dream for a better world and seeing it happen.
