Blank...

my mind has got blank... For last couple of hrs or so, i am trying to write something but there is not a single thought I can key down in words as such. It's not surprising I guess... considering my own problem on lack of concentration. I find it hard to concentrate... A thought comes in my mind for a second or so and then flies away. Next moment even if I try to recall it, most of the time I fail to do so. Now, I am thinking of if it happens only with me or are you guys (mainly in IT field) do also have a similar kind of issue. Any comment???

Recently, I came across a news about a major IT firm shutting down it's operation from New Delhi, that too by giving the employees either to move down to it's Mumbai/Chennai centers or get another job. One of my friend told me that even the notice period is too short... probably a notice period of less than 30 days. This IT firm employs more than 1000 employees at it's Delhi center. This is a bizarre situation since most of the guys would not have wanted to leave Delhi region and given the notice period of less than 30 days - they must be going through critical phase of their career. One of my friend in that company is pregnent and would not move down to another location for sure... it means she would be jobless - atleast for quite a few important months. Many other guys would also have less or more reasons not to move down to another location - means would be in a jobless land.

This is not a hot topic among my colleagues, neither the N-Deal is not a hot topic among us. Even the left who bring the vote of trust against the UPA government on the basis of N-Deal has forgotten it. Nuclear Deal is nowhere in the picture among the political parties... now there is only one interest among all our "leaders" - it's purely political. RLD's Ajeet Sing has been honest enough to accept this fact. I don't know if a common citizen of India knows whats there in the Nuclear Deal... at least I don't know much about it. I don't know what exactly it contains... I don't think if any news paper or news channel has covered it well enough to give a good idea about. And I am sure, even 75% of the MPs, who would caste their votes for/against the trust vote, would be knowing it. I was watching a BJP-MP's interview in a new channel, where he was answering the N-Deal questions... He had a single answer to all the question, this deal will make us US dependent. Dear Mr. MP, have you got a chance to study the deal? Ok, leave this apart, few of Bahubali Netas who were serving upto life-term, got released from jail to cast their vote. See, who will be deciding our country's future.

Seems, not only my mind is blank...

Great post!!

I am aware of that IT company that has shut down its delhi's operations. Its really horrible news. Hence I knowingly avoid discussing it as it creates terror in my heart :)

As far as nuke deal is concerned, I only know that its beneficial for India as it will solve the country's problems. Among all our leaders, I can atleast believe Mr. Abdul Kalam blindly. I have no doubts about it.

Well yeah! Atleast I have come across some 50 people in last 1 week in IT who have this issue of short-term memory loss or concentration lapse but then it is not our fault either...We have so many things to do at a time that we can't help it ...right? Multi-tasking does that to you. :)

Oh! I hope it is not the same firm my friend works with, her dad is not keeping well, he is diagnosed with a life-threatening disease and she was telling me some 2 weeks back that her organization is shifting operation to Chennai but then she said only 3/4th of the organization... :( I am not sure...Will call her up and confirm it.

What a circus it was for few days on Indian television and Indian Media played a perfect host to it! Like Gaurav said, the only person i trust with this whole Nuclear Deal thing is Mr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

I agree Rakesh, that amidst all the frenzy of who is voting for whom, nobody bothered to cover on Nuclear Deal or what is it all about?

We live in a funny funny world :)

Loved ur post!!
