I did MCA. Since my hubby works in US time I also had to search for a job in same time frame. So I landed up in BPO/KPO industry. I joined a company, worked on a project for an year. Since this work was very challenging I almost forgot that I wished to be a s/w engineer. The project was taken back. I joined this company. Lot of ex colleagues also joined. Now the real torture. My being a north Indian (in chennai), different upbringing is causing a problem. I am not out spoken however I speak openly. I mind my words and I speak my mind. They feel i am different. I don't mind calling wrong as wrong. Guys dont like my guts. That;s the way I figure. I accept that there might be something wrong at my side as well. I don't understand their psyche. Why they have to treat me differently. And it's just not me I have seen them making fun of another north Indian in other team. I wonder even in this corporate world people look at beauty (they do), caste, dharm. What A shame we don't do much of Karma. I dont mind bein alone but hate this feeling of I dont exist in office. I dont know if it is ok to tell your colleagues about the interview u hv given. Coz they too bite at ur back to gain WHAT???
