The Indian Summer

In Indian youth scene there are only two kinds of animals - Engineer MBA and Engineer in IT firm - of course am not denying the existence of other species but then this is my blog Sweets, u don't like it, I give a rat's ass' hoot to your whosoever.So we continue.The Person belonged to the first category and quite disillusioned with the facts by now.Yes a good MBA in India takes a 5 lakher p.a to a millionaire,in INR mind u, but then The Person doesn't think it's enough to satiate the dreams of the unsuspecting multitude who get trapped under the collective expectations of the great HUF.Shit it is but then shit drives the world - tats what The Person took away from his Indian Summer.

Indian IT.What a magnificent beast it is! Feeding half a million mouths in this country of snake-charmers indeed Manmohanomics has turned us from railway coollies to cyber ones.Or maybe Rajiv deserves some praise for that..but den I have no intentions to fight on a you-know-which party ticket anytime soon...so sorry Madam no sycophancy.So let's get going.Yeah dis was the first brush with the Indian IT scene for The Person.And My-oh-My what a sweatshop is dat industry!!! The Economist talks about China's sweatshops, I say visit the AC stys in the cities of modern Bharat...it's no different.You walk in at 0900 hours,do your mediocre crap throughout the day,at 1900 hrs when US comes alive the juggernaut gets going...beyond that of course it could be great if you could work d clock till its 0200 hours in India,dat way the ignorant fat bastards in US of A can actually have their 200K worth job outsourced and done without actually lifting a finger! And den somewhere in this jungle u get THE Tribe - MBA-s from top 10 BSculs in India - some employees,some interns. Fuslaoed from the campuses by snazzy presentations dat were outsourced to the likes of my former employers (lol...coz dis is a big secret out f d bags dat shines a very shiny light on the quality of Indian practice's management) these people actually put up Status Updates on Facebook saying "Got my dream JOB" etc etc. (BTW dis came from a Nearly-Hairless-Female whose understanding of what Career is naturally Stunted)

So what do these people do? As good-paid Associate Consultants (Yeah rite!) dey draft RFP-s meandering into 135 pages, of course CCP from previous efforts kept in repositories...dats d way u become SEI-CMM Level 5 certified u know :D...den once assigned to a project (yeah Bitch I'm now BILLABLE!!!) dey get to fly to First World Capitals for 3 weeks followed by Training Material Preparation for the rest of the project.So nice utilisation of their MBA..yeah rite!But then India is known to waste resources..right from Engg to MBA..but thankfully the MBA Sculs charge what they deserve unlike poor cousin IIT-s.

One more interesting thing!Say u study in ~(IIM ABC) then what do you do if your summers is in Bangalore/Cal/Ahd....Yes u r rite! U pose for fotos like dey make u IIM-ers :D Would you do dat in an IIPM Campus? Oh yeah rite..are you a mindless fool We belong to the upper echelon...and can only aim for higher ones rite :P

Then the summers let you in to the power that is FB!Dancing divas sent to project work in the interiors will keep you updated the 2 months you thought you would give them the slip,with the Queen turning in her grave at the grammar on the Status Updates :D Then there will be people who have been dumped quite often and pressing the LIKE button at every opportunity...egging the Divas on..shit man the WORLD needs an UNLIKE button u know.

Enough on The Person's experience.The lengthier this gets more like rant it seems.Lets hope it bloody well rains today!Some time else den...
