Hi All,
In recent times I have heard many elders saying that this generation is not having enough physical exercise, has no responsibility, has no social consciousness and blah blah blah...Today I want to question all those elders where is time for present generation to think on these things...60% of present generation is suffering from Intelligent Torture aka Information Technology...Yes Iam talking about the software industry...
All greedy parents/ambitious parents want their children to settle in s/w industry...All greedy persons/ambitious persons want to settle in s/w industry and go abroad...While aiming s/w industry it will look like heaven where you will be sitting in A.C and will get a five digit salary...BUT once you enter into industry you will find the problems.
In the first year you will be attending training and may be inducted into project...In this phase initial 2-3 months will be fun learning and enjoying life with unlimited internet access and always helping hands surrounding you ...it will seem like a direct ticket to heaven...After the initial 2-3 months, you will be assigned to a project and all of a sudden you will find that all the helping hands shying away from you...though you have unlimited internet access opening gtalk or FB will be a distant thought for you...You will be given 8 hrs work but due to inexperience it will turn out to be 16 hrs work...You will never leave office according to timings but will arrive to office on time...No sleep in night...no peace in mind.. This is the first phase of multi-phased complicated IT industry.
In the second year you will be recieving Hikes...which means more money It will be a treat to watch your first appraisal letter...You will happily call your parents and friends and inform abt your appraisal..you will think that finally all the ordeal from past 1 year has beared fruit for you...Soon after that you will realise your work also increased as now they are paying you more they will take you to the second phase of Intelligent torture. Now that you have experience you will be able to do tasks in time but the tasks assigned to you will become more complicated that your working hours will not change...and your peace of mind is a passe....
From the third year onwards you stop getting excited abt appraisals and you stop being excited abt any promotions...you will stop complaining the heavy work load...you will stop meeting your friends & relatives...you stop being your self...this is the last phase of torture wherein you will become slave for the industry and a invisible stamp is pasted on your forehead stating "TORTURED O.K."....After this you will be in deja vu... if you are successful in completing this stage you will be invincible to this torture and all this seems to be normal to you...by now you will be waking up by 8 AM and will be on bed at minimum by 1 AM....every friday movie and every weekend some kind of fun activity....All problems in life will seem to you like programs and you will be confident of solving them easily...
Finally, waht I would like to say is for every comfort there is a price to pay and for having a comfort of fat salary you have to pay the price of your health, personal life. If you are thinking of joining this industry think of it...If you are already in the industry, mere jaadu ke jappi lelo bhai...and tap on our heart and say "ALL IZZ WELL"
With Love,
