Soul sucking outsourced tech jobs

Some americans complain about all the outsourcing that’s been taking away thier jobs to countries like India and China. What most americans do not perhaps realize is that only the worst routine jobs are outsourced to countries like ours where people like me sit 8 hours doing practically nothing but move around snippets of code a bit here, a bit there and go home feeling like one more part of me died today. I mean I am not even talking about tech support or call center jobs here. I am talking about “real” jobs those coveted jobs of a Software Developers. Most americans unless they are extremely ugly with absolutely no social skills wouldnt touch these jobs with a ten feet long stick. The “good stuff” of managing and making policies that make people feel like crap, oh yes, they still are very much held by americans. Not that I care too much about a management position but americans do and those jobs are very much in america and havent gone anywhere. Dear americans should’nt feel too bad about losing out a few soulless jobs because, you see those jobs are just too miserable to be actually done by you. You should just go ahead and get some degrees in lawyering, or public relations or international relations or perhaps gender studies? And ofcourse make the world a better place to live in after that?

The situation

In shit trouble. Perhaps not deep shit. But this situation is annoying me. Because it is beyond my control. If there is one thing that cannot be done or worth doing is to change people’s opinion. The best thing you can hope for is God’s intervention. Please help me get out of this situation…please..it’s painfully annoying and I dont know what I can do to get away from this all..please

Men from Mars, Women fron Venus and Research People?

US produces the shittiest researchers who come up with silliest stuff like men and women differing in thier of choice of food. Really? A lot of men are vegetarians and fruits and vegetables is all they can eat.

I get it, there are some inherent diferrences among the sexes, I totally get it , I do I do. But not evrything is applicable to every body, at the end of the day we are individuals and generalization severes no purpose other than give a broad(extremely broad) picture. What is worrying is people might totally believe these stupid surveys to be true considering they are so “scientific”. Go do some real work, dumbasses

White girl dance

So dancing in pubs is back in bangalore as I found out last weekend. Thank God. I danced like there is no tommorrow. It was wonderful but also amusing. There was this white girl about 32 ish who kept atleast one of her hands directly on her crotch and danced all alone. She was actually with some group I noticed before but for some reason she prefered to dance away catching her crotch all alone. I could not but bite my lips to stop laughing. It would be so jerkish to laugh at that time. Not that she would have noticed. The music was too loud and the dance floor too crowded. And she had these strange movements. And her hands and legs would go just crazy when the DJ suddenly threw in Punjabi number. She almost burnt up a guy’s shirt with her cigarette too. Funny as hell, how adorable she was.

Dharwad Pedha

I hail (atleast my parents do) from North Karnataka. I recently had the opportunity to visit two places in North Karnataka. I attended a friend’s wedding in Hidkal. I was a little perplexed by the fact that there were not any elaborate rituals at wedding. It is strange because it is supposed to be a Lingayat wedding( am a Lingayat myself ). There’s no way it is as simple as the one I saw at the wedding. No matter, I think they made a lovely couple. The return from Hidkal to Blore was a night mare, my train ticket was on the waiting list and I had to actually travel from Hubli to Blore sittting in an awkward position.

A couple of days later I went to Karnatak University in Dharawad. I had never seen my University before, so I was quite looking forward to it. I must say my job of getting my marks cards attested was surprisingly easy. Way to go Karnatak University, you are a star. Usually people at colleges and universities are very unhelpful and have uttermost disregard for anything that constitutes work.  I really like Dharwad though. Such a tiny little place and how nicely they speak my kind of Kannad. Adorable. And I bought the famous Dharwad pedha there. If you are wondering which shop is the one that actually sells the famous Dharwad Pedha it is Babusingh’s Thakur Pedha, this one’s opposite to the bus stand. There’s also Mishra Pedha and others but this is the original one. And I must they are quite tasty. Not too sugary or ghee laden. Just right.

And there quite a few hotties for such a small town. Bangalore has largely ugly population although the ones that are cute are very very hot. But Dharwad’s sexy. Hot hot, totally hot.
