Why Are we working till Late Night ???

Recently I was watching one Telugu movie “Rechhipo” (A person who steals the property of rich people and share with poor people), There is a scene where he enters into a old women's house accidentally, then that woman asks him,

who r u? Why did you come at this time?
Can you guys guess the answer...?


The answer iiis... I am S/W Engineer; I have just finished my work!!! :)
I came here to ask your vacant house for rent...
The Paradigm of S/W profession has become this way...It is deeply into the minds of the people,
But the reality is different...Let c how that goes...

[It is not only applicable to S/W Industry, but also to Engineering, Manufacturing Industries... and to many may be..]

Q) When I ask a person why are you working till late night?
[I have kept the different answers in different categories to discuss further
C1- Category one, A1- Answer one]

C1_A1) I have no work in my room,
C1_A2) Who the hell are looking for me at room,
C1_A3) I have no PC & no Internet in room,
C1_A4) No Free coffee/tea machines, no free phone and no A/C...
C1_A5) For my lover.

C5_A1) I have to stay Yaaar…Others are staying late.
C5_A2) I am fresher, I have to stay to learn more ASAP
C5_A3) I have to show-off that I am working hardly.

The above are some of the very few reasons that would make any employee to stay till late night and it is in our hands to live the way we want when we stick to the basic principles of employment. If we do not stick to the basic principles, we would live as others want!!!




Guess the categories …

Independence is going back

  • This is what I remember from my History classes;
    400 Years Back… (This is not Maghadheer (Telugu Movie) story…)
    Foreigners came to INDIA for trading, they were getting the best things for the lowest prices in the world, so the competitive price advantage is more for the companies that trade with INDIA; As this business truth was realized by many competitors, they also started trading with INDIA; The EIC (East INDIA Company) was not interested to take over the administration as their objective is just business, but because of stringent
    Tax system, regulations and entry of competitors, EIC had to take over INDIAN administration;

    There it started, loosing of INDEPENDENCE for the business traits of foreigners;

    They moved the property out of INDIA, and bring in the poverty,
    They ruled with the rules, which benefit their business, and not the social interest,
    They enforced regulations such that their business will grow faster,
    They increased the taxes to moderate the infrastructure which benefit them,
    They focused the development in the areas which benefit them for their business.


    Every one like’s power, they have given that power to few folks who love money and works sincerely as per their orders. These few folks were enjoying the benefits and using INDIAN Human capital and valuable resources for the Business benefit of foreigners.

    The Social administration of EIC, which works for the business benefits, was not liked by many Young and Dynamic INDIANS. They started working with the objective of INDEPENDENCE. The young guns of INDIA with the guidance of intelligent people of India made the whole country free from the foreigners and got the Independence.

    After 400 years in 2009, with the name of out-sourcing and exports/imports, the foreigners are back into their business. Now they have studied and analyzed the peoples mind with so caaaalled “Management”, and they are using most of the Young and Dynamic Indians and Indian resources for their services; They are buying the best available in India with their money. Be it Human Capital or Himachal Apple; they are importing the best to their countries. We being influenced by other cultures are interested to get more money besides what ever we loose.

    They have created the competitiveness among the Indian business tycoons and achieving their objectives with the word of “Customer Satisfaction”. Most of the Young India is working to provide better services, solutions and products for the foreigners at the cost of their freedom and independence just for the monitory benefits. If we compare the salaries that an employee who perform task A in foreign countries and in India, the situation is known fact, the salaries are very less in India.

    Once we were a wealthy nation in terms of natural resources and cultural heritage, they entered our soil and neutralized us in both. Now we are wealthy in terms of Human capital, they have seen it, and started to utilize the same for their benefits.

    The Young India is just looking to get into any one of these outsourcing or importing or exporting companies to get better pay slips. After getting better pay slips they are using the money to purchase the foreign brands which ultimately increase the foreigner’s wealth; with this trade our govt gets taxes which are pee nuts. And the cycle is getting repeated.

    These business tycoons are the brokers (The providers of services or solutions or products) of foreigners who are working money as objective and not the social equality; these firms are placed in focussed areas where the best of INDIA is available in all means; and the Govt is developing these focused areas with out considering the entire country as one; Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai, Calcutta, Hyderabad are not the only India, we have 70% of people in non-developed areas, I would say non-focussed areas; The social balance is shaking as the rest of India is not focused; I firmly believe this is social injustice; The Business tycoons are deeply into the social administration to get their benefits as EIC did 400 Years Back. I do not know “When they take over the Administrations Again”. The business tycoons are influencing the govt decisions in forming few regulations, which probably I would say the sign of “Independence going back”.
    Nooo…”We are giving back Our Independence”

    What we should do…??? Open Question to all of us…To me also.

    Some of very odd ideas that I got when I was counting stars are…

    => Cost of food / health / education should be as low as possible in the rural areas;

    => EIC developed Education system has to be changed, as it defined a system which creates only followers and not the Leaders;

    => Social entrepreneurship has to be rapidly developed with an objective of creating employment in the country particularly in the rural areas; This should not work for the purpose of money, and should be for the social equality;

    => The great ideas of great people will be reflected greatly if great team is around; The great ideas will reach the needy only if every one in the great team is perfect, which is not possible in reality; so the great people have to implement these great ideas as close as possible to the needy; and definitely they should not be started in Delhi or State Capital.

    Thank you very much for reading.
