I have lived in the US for the past two years and prior to that have worked at various companies all of which were in the software development bussiness, mostly outsourced software development or off shore development as one might call it. Basically the term I prefer for this is cheap labor. Any company, you name it and I can bet the reason for an expanded Indian office catering clients far away, is cheap labor. At nearly 1/10th the original cost and for doing the same work. I know none of this is a news to most of you readers. Then what am I writing about?

It is a question, a question that I have asked people a lot times and answers have been varied. My own answer to this is not very pleasing to many around me. So, today I try to pose it to you all, my readers (in whatever short numbers you are, you are valuable).

It is about the outsourcing and relates the notion of pricing the product to the current market standards. If the demand is bigger than supply then price is up if the opposite then it is low. So, in this context how would you put the equation of outsourcing? Not a brain teaser, I suppose. India and China have large number of human resources, for one they don’t have one thing in scarcity and that is humans. In case of India engineers and scientist. There is a flood of them, thousands and millions graduating every 5 years. They are being added to the pool with similar skill sets, similar aspirations,similar desire to earn big bucks in small time. Now when you have this heavy flow of “Talent” (?) and that too at the 1/10 of the price, WHY WILL SOMEONE PAY THE SAME 10 TIMES HIGH PRICE?? Now come the grand question.

“IS THE JOB REALLY WORTH THE ORIGINAL PRICE WHEN THE SAME JOB CAN BE DONE IN LOWER 1/10th PRICE?”

Will the workers in the US settle for 1/10 of their salary because their job can be done at a much lower price. In fact let me put this with an example, will you buy a “shampoo” (please replace it with any product you like) from a store that employs expensive sales workers for $10 more than the lower price at Walmart or Target for the same brand and product? Whatever is your answer I would like to know.

I have the Indian side of out sourcing too, I will write about it soon. It is an employee’s experience. Till then keep your views on this one coming.

Cant those crazy ba**** see, if you get the North, South, East, West out of there it says INDIANS!!! What the heck is going on? Cant the jokers in political circles see that it is creating the problem that we might have to live with for ages to come, or are they busy reaping the benefits by _Criticising in Media_???

Guys, break the ice, and get down to table, beating people up will not solve the issue. If there exists any problems then sit across the table and talk. Sticks and Guns are no good. If you retaliate now, they will retaliate later and then again you will get your vengeance back.. it is a cycle  which will be broken only with someone’s sacrifice,  lets make one now, someone has to make it. Please don’t divide India based on North, South, East, West, it is a land of unity lets keep it that way.

It is important that we leave the swords and take things objectively… I hope people back home in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra  understand this, it is important. If you have problems and people are not listening then we have got other means of getting it done.

With a population of 1.2 Billion we have a danger of an violence outbreak every other day thats not good. We need stability to turn India in to a golden eagle again, and these things can’t get one thing and that is stability. Hope that some joker’s Sena understands this. or are they really bothered? May be just that they want is popularity of their new party…

India’s tour of the Oz Zoo… oh! was I racist? ahh! not I guess, I did not use the M word… I am saved!! And well now after the those horrendous decisions (on and off th field) at the ground we have some people who see India’s protest as an Indian attempt to control the game. I have something for all those fools… and Yes I am being arrogant.

“It is not that the Indian board is 50 times richer than any rival, you silly little schoolgirl – the crux is that the Indian fans, and Indian corporates, bring in anywhere between 60-70 per cent of global cricket revenues. And without it, you don’t have a game to dispute control of. Period.”
- Prem Panicker. for Rediff

I just love it. Yes, we control economy of the Cricket world (as of now!) and welcome to the world that is yet fair and stable… so think what if India just pulls out ICC and then says we will play our own Cricket, what happens? With 70 percent of the money being well in there hands how do you expect the sport to sustain for people who feel they are the owners of the game?

To all those who feel the game is being run fair to all, my question is which fairness grants permissions to people to call them “Kafirs”, “Black Monkeys”? Well guys we are just giving you taste of your own medicine. Welcome to the world you polluted! Now you can not cry foul coz you created it, now pay for it. Long live Indian might!
