The Other Side of IT Boom

IT industry of India gives large FDI flow.Every State government announces setting up of SEZ,Tech Park, Malls, Resturants. Youngsters gets job very easily as soon as they finishes college and lead very modern life. Is this the only real face behind the IT boom in India. Lets all realize the truth. In name of IT boom what we have contributed to our country or Soceity in terms of development so far. What we exactly do at office everyday.

Students from other majors like Mechanical,Electrical jump to the IT only for the sake of salary. Whats is the reason behind this? Its Salary.

Why didnt india come up with such tools like Wiki,YouTube. Where all our talents are sucked?

Big companies recruits lot of young talents and keep them in bench for a month. Isnt true? But the salary we have been paid is huge when compared to the people working at our public sectors. I know many of my friends are getting their salary with out going to office? Do we really have the job satisfaction for the money we have been paid? Most of the out sourced work comes in terms of Product maintenance which was developed in very old technology or some of the develpoement for internal supporting web sites. The real R&D wotk are done mostly in their mother company.

Do India loose all the young talents in name of IT boom?

We all have to realize this and use our talent in a very constructive way and contribute atleast a bit to the society

My 2007 New Year Day Eve

My Last eve of 2007 new year day
It was an empty office where all left
to get ready to welcome new year except Me and my colleague Sasmita
sitting and hitting the keyboard
The only sound we could hear was the sound of typing.

we had been assigned a task to be completed in the same day by our Lead Lokesh(at Onsite) who i found good at technically and in person
I can just proudly say the period i was working under him is the era of my learning.

The task assigned to us was implementing a Recoverable Quartz scheduler Jobs which keeps pinging the third party vendor and gets the response till it comes

Myself involved in creating a Quartz scheduler Job.
Somehow we buried all our enthusiasm to welcome 2007
we totally involved in the task assigned to us

Lucikly with the support of Sasmita i managed to finish it.
we looked at each other and smiled. There was a reason behind the smiling
we have to test it before sending the status
OOps unfortunately the offshore team doesnt have acces the third party vendor to which the job was suppose to ping it and get the response

We started debating.At last we have arrived a conclusion.Thank God.
lets write a servlet which simulates third party vendor.
Sasmita came forward to take it boldly and completed in a time of Eyeblink
Hats off to her.She was not recognized for the same in the appraisal..that was the rest of the story.I havent worked before with such a female collegue who sounds very good at Technical.

Oh Great.Quartz job and the servlet simulator both are ready in our plate.
Just i started to run my scheduler job which pings the Servlet runs at Sasmitha's machine.so many exception..Looked at each other..remembered the words of Lokesh dont get scared of ExceptionDig in to it..Solve it..

We both were running to my machine and Samitha's machine before and after
At One point of time we found everything works perfectly..No Exception..Felt like winning a war..Send the Status...Check in the files..Hurry up...Wind up. Time was 10.30 P.M.

I remember i commited to my friends that
i will bring a cake to celebrate the New year.I realized the reason of many missed call in my mobile to which i havent given attention so far.
The first thing i did was called them up and assured them the cake and celebrations
Then literally was running at koramangala to find a Backery. Oh god..Thanks to SweetChariot..was opened late night especially for the NewYear celebrations.
Bought a Cake..Take an Auto..Fogot the double charge..Reaching home on time only was in my mind

Everybody was waiting at the Door to kick me.
As they saw the Cake in my hand they forgot and ran to the terrace..
Started the preperation at the terrace..Time ticking 11.58..59...60......2007....The rest all are usual...applying Cake in every others face...
Felt like my hard work to get a cake went in vein...Danced...Shouted..Oh very tired..
Slept nicely..That was Non alcoholic celebration...believe it or not

2008 கண்ணீர் வடிக்கிறது

இதோ 2007 மெல்ல மெல்ல இறந்துகொண்டு இருக்கிறது
அதன் மேல் இன்னொரு பெரிய மாறா விழுப்புண்
பெனாஜிர் சுட்டுக்கொலை
இதோ 2008 கண்ணீர் வடிக்கிறது கருவில்
முயல்வோம் கண்ணீரை துடைப்பதற்கு

என் இனிய காலை பொழுது

என் இனிய காலை பொழுது
அழகான ஏரி
அதை கிருஷ்ணராஜபுரத்தின் கடற்கரை எனலாம்
அதை சுற்றிலும் தாரால் ஆனா சாலை
அதன் நடுவில் ஒரு சிறய தீவு
அதில் சிறிய மூங்கில் காடு
அதில் வசிக்கும் பறவைகள் கூட்டம்
அந்த தீவை சுற்றி காவலாளிகள் போல்
அந்த ஏரியை தொட்டு செல்லும் தண்டவாளம்
அதில் ஏரியை தினமும் நலம் விசாரிக்க பல தொடர் வண்டி நண்பர்கள் இதோ ஏரி எனக்கும் அறிமுகம் செய்து வைத்தது அவர்களை
வானத்தின் பிரதிபலிப்பில் அந்த ஏரி இன்னும் அழகு
அவரவர் தங்கள் கால் எனும் இயந்திரத்தை
கொழுப்பு எனும் எரிபொருளால் ஏரியை சுற்றி இயக்கிகொண்டிருக்க
அந்த ஏரி அவ்வளவு அழகு தொலைவில்...ஆம் தொலைவில் ...
அருகில் சென்றால் அத்தனையும் கழிவு..
அற்புதம் அத்தனை கழிவுகளையும் தாங்கிக்கொண்டு அழகாய் தோற்றமளிக்கும் அந்த ஏரி

Discussion with a Fruit Shop owner

28/12/07 Thursday evening i was returning from offcie.
I approached a fruit shop to buy some fruits since i felt like having something.
But surprised by the price he told me for Apple..May be after long time i was at shop to buy fruits.So decided take 2 oranges and one apple. The owner of the shop just looked at me and said. Sir buy some more apples it is very good for health.

The reply came from my heart pushed me to share this moment

I just told him there are lot of people in India live without even seeing such a fruit Apple.

He just accepted my words and got me whatever i asked for with smile
படித்ததில் வெறுத்தது!

வேரோடு பிடுங்க விரும்புவது!
