Back to Square

Hi all,

Its been a long time, almost more than two months since i contributed time towards blog..Does that mean no cinema, no reviews, no trips, nothing significant? No, ofcourse not..Throughout all these days i have been to more cinemas, went to Tanjore to attend to my friend's marriage,but i was not getting time to spend time to write reviews....Does that indicate i am busy these days? No not really!! Sarathy hope you will be happy hearing this. As you always expect me to say i dont have any work and being paid money for almost nothing...and i am working for a government Organisation.. and Gnana i hope you dont have to waste your efforts in informing Sarathy!!:)

I was silent member in blogger reading all other blogs, find out whats interesting going on...
What made me to come back from my normal routine to write blogs now all of a sudden? Is that a cinema or is that a review or is that regarding my trip to Tanjore? Any guesses!

Indian Son/Daughter at the American Soil

With lot of IT and BPO work being outsourced to India from America, these days number of people going to America from variety of Services and Consulting Company from India is on the rise. But how long is always a question mark...

Right from the school and colleges people tend to develop in themselves an interest in going abroad..that makes them keeping this Onsite Chances a most important criteria while choosing their career option. Even i would say i was one among them, which made me choose TCS when i had offer from Infy. Is that right to have these Onsite Chances as a significant criteria?

Question here comes to my mind who cultivates this interest in the individuals? Do parents play any role in this? Or is this a self interest that comes up by seeing the seniors? I would say it is 50-50..There are people who are not interested in going abroad and consider the nature of work being carried out more important..There are people who are interested in going abroad, but the organisation in which he works has not provided him with such an opportunity...There are people who are at onsite and not really interested in continuing there...

Providing onsite opportunity-Does it have any impact on the attrition in Industry? Yes ofcourse it contributes to a larger extent next to the salary being offered. When i say you have variety of people as mentioned above, why not rotate people and maintain a good balance so that everybody gets a fair chance... thereby significantly bringing down the attrtition rate even..

People outside the IT industry do see nowadays onsite opportunity a way of measuring their performance in Industry. They always put up pressure on people asking them have they not been given onsite thereby creating pressure on Parents as well. These days you can find people like this

Person1: Hey my son is at US. He is being provided stay at a very big hotel and expenses are borne by the company. How about your son?

Person2: My son is at UK..He has been given a car along with very good accomodation. He has been rated high in performance..

(drew inspiration from a conversation at Beasant Nagar Beach)

While having such discussions, dont they ever think their son/daughter is away from them. Ofcourse they do. But then they donot show it in front of others.Slowly we will see a trend whrein almost every parent is left alone here in this country as their son/daughter are at abroad. Is this all for good?

Why do these people give a wrong projections when they have different opinion in their mind?
They all live with Webcams, Google Talks, Yahoo Messengers and phones from Sify iWay..After all that is the only way of communication with their children who are thousands of miles away. Atleast we should appreciate the growth of Internet which has atleast brought these distances smaller by bringing in Chat applictions, webcams....

But is this trend going to come down? I dont see a ray of hope atleast for next few years as IT is on boom and with the introduction of higher caps for H1B Visas, i expect this growth to move exponentially.

What do you all say?
