Check nepif.weblet.in - its a labor of love for many of us. Please see if you can help this growing movement. We invited Infosys over on Aug 19th 2006 to Guwahati for the first ever "joint placement". Cheers, Partha

The moment you end up describing about the multi-national company (MNC) you are working for, pat comes the response....Ohhh!!...I get it. A BPO!! (like hell he/she knows..may not even know the full form, leave alone the what it stands for! You wince, but valiantly keep a straight face! He/she continues nonetheless...) It is really sad that you people in MNCs have to talk to clients all through the night!?...You try once, you repeat twice, thrice, trying to get it straight again, ultimately you sagely bob your head and echo...yes, sometimes..especially when I can't get any sleep! "When you can't beat them, join them"... is what most of us end up doing. Regards, Gitanjali Hazarika PS: Infosys is a helluva company guys. Great work. Show them your skills. Let them taste the power of Assamese talent. Congratulations once more. May your tribe increase. ========================================= saumar deka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Call Centres and the Software Industry are two different things; it's pity people still don't want to know the difference. :)
