Why Bangalore is India's suicide capital
by Rajesh Anantharaman on Feb 25, 2008 10:38 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It ought to be too. The idyllic life of bangalore has completely gone now. Every nice person is now a stresed character, lots of money, no social skills, all huffed up due to work positions. This is all a result of the unabated growth of the software business and entrepreneurs who have made it a number game they indulge in and in exchange make some millionaires and document their pro people policies in pcmm and other certifications/ assessments, whereas reality is completely opposite. None of the software guys actually are proud of their jobs, they cannot lose that money and in holding onto that they do things that get them stressed. Suicide is obviously the choice for most with such little self worth, their self worth is in the flats they own and the size of their cars. Their value is the credit limit of their credit cards and the foreign jaunts they make year on year. The government has facilitated the traffic chaos, after all in such a story of greed would not our politicians partner?

Hi Rajesh,

You have written quite beautifully summarizing everything that goes on in a software/bpo engineers life.

I am in sales and i always thought that we sales guys only have lots of pressure but this is something very strange for me. I am still not able to imagine that how this stress reaches to a level where people commit suicide.

Time to think...
