Hindustan (nahi) bol raha hai
The following are the key points from a report on Economic Times:
Recently, when we thought getting a broadband connection, BSNL was our first choice. However, it turned out to be a lengthy process. We first had to request for a land line connection. Then, we had to submit a written letter/request to the manager for providing us a modem. After waiting for almost a month, we gave up and turned to a private broadband provider. The very next day, a sales guy came to our house and collected the required documents and the following day, a new connection was provided, even in our absence. Of course, BSNL cannot act like private players as they are guided by few principles/codes. But, whats the point in keeping few thousands of employees happy while leaving lakhs of customers in distress?
Gone are the days when we wait for the service guy with bated breath. As the Airtel ad says, Impatience is a virtue now.
Phew
I have been working continuously for the past 2 weeks without any break. It was so tiring and irritating. All along, this dialog from Die Hard 4.0 kept popping up in my mind, “All you gotta do is go pick up a kid down in New Jersey, and drive him down to D.C. How hard can that be, huh?” ..But development job is not so, the work keeps growing…..The release date is here and we somehow packed something and sending it to client. Rest of the worries later. It never gonna end….
When stock markets tumble and equity returns are in the negative terrain, people tend to opt for good old investment arenas like FD, NSC, PPF etc. Same way, during these stressful times I am always attracted to government jobs. Though no one works in government in my family, I have seen quite a few people working in government jobs and have observed their work style. I could list the following reasons for this attraction.
But hey, its the same government job I was criticizing for red tapism, redundancy, corruption and what not. This fear is short living. Ha, It slipped my mind…
