Every Night @ the call centers.......


I read in the Hindu that One night @ the call center by Chetan bhagat( I am not sure if the name is with or without an 'h') is selling hot like the latest pirated CDs.


From the review I gather that the author is not for the call centers.....I completely agree to that line of thought. Its bad in the sense that too much of a mass exodus to call centers will eventually play havoc with the way the youth of the country think and act intellectually .Even those who are for the call centers will not deny to themselves that its not much of an intelligent exercise.

Think alternating your way of life every second week.You get up in the 'Indian' morning some days thinking its the best thing that happened to you in the last one month,since before that you might have gone to office when everyone else in your home goes to sleep.Probably you might get some compensatory allowance for that, but I feel that is just peanuts for a starving traveler in a no mans land.

In the long run,this tends to take toll of the health undoubtedly and many cause stress in the family front.

I completely agree that many people are getting employment opportunities but people who have the potential to do better things in life also get caught in this quagmire,I call it thus because it might cause India to be looked upon as a nation to give proxies for the other nations,who in turn make better use of their people resource in research and development.

This is the world's second populous country, surely atleast 10% of the population can be counted in as possessing talent and if this talent is fed with dried up,abandoned left overs by others as 'opportunity' ,then we are committing a serious crime for the future of India.

I think Indian companies should aim for bigger pieces of involvement in development of the country than run after falling chunks of jobs out of the hands of countries ,who have their hands full of demanding roles in the world forum.

What I would like to say is, work in call centers if you think you cant make it otherwise.Work in call centers if the only other option you have is to sit idly at home.Work in call centers if you have tried other options but you cant get any of them.

Atleast those students who are good academically ,if your family wont starve if you don't work,go for research oriented studies and higher education.

On a lighter note, train your mind not to respond to names of 'Sue Whatever' , when you are actually christened Radha by your parents.

Indian companies should be involved in development of indegenious(wrong spelling ,I know) technology rather than the development of the country's infrastructure.

We need more Indian based technology products in the market.That's what will help the economy.
