I was without a job for a year. Then I joined a Call center. I often heard taunts from friends & relatives and of course did not get even a cm of respect for the gruelling 11 hour job. I have quit the job & joined another firm as a software engineer for half the previous salary. I am really happy and satisfied, for the moment. Everything Shyam is experiencing is TRUE! That's the way the world is! I would definitely like to go through the book.
