Shiv... The article about what we are doing to our (bright) kids....was very, very well written. AND that does not touch upon the other youngsters...the not-so-bright ones who didn't get into engg colleges, but who, nonetheless, have "high-paying" jobs in the BPO, KPO, LPO, whatever-P-O sectors. The job conditions here are even worse than for programmers, because these are low-skill jobs in general. The jobs ARE high-paying. The employees pay high...with their long-term health, physical and mental. I am reasonably active on fora where we are trying to address the degradation of Bangalore as a city....I wish I could be more active on fora that would come up on the degradation of our children, too. In fact, addressing the second might have a cascading effect on the first, as the lifestyles these youngsters have is directly causing much of the environmental and quality-of-life depredation that we see in Bangqlore today...Less malls, less cars, less homes would translate into less of damage. Deepa.
