One of my mates just started working for Infosys and ever since that all I have been hearing about is about how tired she is of her exams are and how much weight and sleep she lost over their projects as she's only a trainee at the moment.
Her predictament has nothing to do with this post. What I wanted to lash out was that one in every four jobs is currently being outsourced to developing countries like India. Despite Western backlash against job outsourcing, the Indian software industry is optimistic as the pace of its expansion accelerates. The India's hi-tech sector is now growing at 30% a year.
Bangalore's has developed its own 'Silicon Valley'. I really can't blame anyone, as India being a developed country has one of the lowest paid positions availabe for the IT people while retaining some of the world's best IT geeks who can speak more than 24 programming languages.
There is a whole lot of debate going on the pros and cons of the internet and the developing countries.
India is a funny country - where the cows are sacred, but still striving to be super heroes in dhothis and mass producing Miss India.
What can I say - India tujhe salaam.
Anyhoo, the whole thing started ranting in my mind when I saw this cartoon:
There is an updated version of this cartoon on Project Cartoon.
