I understand the difficulties these youngsters are going through. On the other hand I would defdinately want to say that the market is not as bad as people think. I say this with almost 9 years of work experience and would just say that there are ample opportunities.If i could be of any help in assisting in getting a better break, youngsters can get in touch with me on My Email address is srinath.r.r@gmail.com and i will try my best. I would not promise.In the past too i have been successful in placing people.o all the best
Good article. however i would like to draw the attention toeards the fact that these are not problems with the company work profile but the bosses to whom the person is reporting. these are clear cut presence of unproffessional or idiotic person sitting at your top. If your boss is good then definitely you will be assigned the job which you should do. I have also undergone the same for some time so i know that this is the problems with person to one reports and not the company.
The upwardly moble middle-class of our country has invited this slavery upon itself by blindly aspiring to imitate western lifestyle and culture at the cost of our impoverished masses. It is the slavish mentality of the middle-class parents that forces the youngsters into the rat race. Instead of inculcating traditional values of simplicity and sacrifice, the parents and teachers of today are teaching the students techniques of running faster in this race.
The current so-called economic boom and growth is nothing but the process of becoming the mental serfs and slaves of the white people who control the world with their stronghold on electronic media. It is the East-India Company story all over again. But this time they are not using spices for gaining entry.. They use tools like Hollywood/Bollywood, Cricket and Fashion Shows. This time the enslavement is even worse because during the British times, at least we could identify the exploiters by their white skins. This time around they are of our own flesh and blood riding mercs and hondas along roads dotted by slums ! This time it is not the white man pillaging the countryside for timber for the railways, it is we ourselves who are destroying our environment and converting our fertile country into a degraded wasteland where even simple living is going to become impossible in a few years because of the greed of the its people for material good.

So it is futile to complain about poor work-conditions in these boom-time jobs, when we have bargained for almost abject slavery. The only solution to this is when we as a nation change our priorities and redefine development to be in tune with the stark reality that India is completely different from the West. It simply does not have the resources to provide for a happy western way of life for its vast population. But it has great resources if it realises that it first-and-foremost is a Spiritually gifted nation. India's true wealth lies in its spirituality, its infinitely deep cultural roots and its ancient civilisation based on Dharma which commands its people to regard this world not just as a place for sensory enjoyment but as a field of righteous action and that teaches its people to regard the earth as a holy mother fit for worship and not plunder. Until we remind ourselves of this fundamental truth of our national character, we will continue to be enslaved in one way or the other by the western countries. If there is to be hope, we as a nation need to evolve a lifestyle ethic of its own that restores the ecology and heals the degraded environment. In fact if we look at our history, and our scripture, we will not only find guidelines, but concrete formulas and procedures of how we should make this happen. There is no need to look to westwards to Harvard and Oxford to know how to manage this.
This is nothing, there are hordes of example of so called private limited comanies duping youngsters, by not giving them appointment letters, salary slips, TDS. They exploit people for thefact that a person who has migrated from backwaters of India has no other option than contintuing in the current job. Most of the so called big companies ask for MBAs with at least three years experience for entry level jobs. Moreover, as organization do not want to invest resources or time on tarining so people dont get learning at all. Average Indian worker works 10-12 hrs in a day, add to it the long commuting hours in metro citiesand people are not left with any quality time for self development.

Government is blinking eyes on these social issues how people of India in corporate world being exploited to work forcefully over 10 to 12 hours a day. THis is crime against humanity and against labour laws of the country. But law enforcing agencies are not nothered of all this issues at all. I work in Afric and Middle East soem of my friend work in Europe adn US they experience only 8 hours day adn maximum 40 hours week working. Annual vacation is compulsory and so many ristrictions. But India is playground of all illlegal and unethical non human practices of mideval age. India is practing miseval age HR pratices in 21 st century and every one is silent is irony.
The article and messages are indeed thought provoking.The days of boom seems to be over and hence the fittest will survive if they can adjust to changing scenario.Work hard and prove your worth.

Yes,Like forest land we have to preserve the agriculture land for our food, available with us and everybody knows that when our economy is only based upon only agriculture why we are suiciciding by establishing industries on agriculture lands.We are only polluting and getting nothing out of it.In these days we should remember Mahatma Gandhi and his economy.

good point i totaly agree with you. there is no need to sell agriculture land to colonisers who will first cut down all paddy fields & make a golf course for the rich. Govt should discourage over industrialization & pseudo-real estate.

100% Agreed. Those who have Ample land for agriculture want to do a job only do drink liquor & freak out. They dont understand the value of the land. My so many friends havind land but doing jobs for 10 to 12 hrs daily. They said I will not understand the problems of agriculture because I dont have land. It's true that agri sector is depend on Water & Nature but one can get enough income to survive.
